SCANDAL SCANDAL

The following words of wisdom are
quoted and respectfully recommend
ed to the consideration Of those who
ara engaged in a campaign CT scan
dal in Idaho.
"Of all the products Of malice, scan
dial is the greatest and the most
dangerous. Its innocent victims have
no weapons against it. 1t is easy to
suspect. Nothing is easier than 10
put scandalous stories into oircu.a-
ton The voice of scandal never
lacks fer an audience. stand ON the
street corner and praise some man
or woman and you have no hearers;
but stand en- the same corner and
assail somebody, make chargss, in
situations, innuendoes, ard people
will crowd to hear you. Nobody, is.
beyond the reach of scandal. ItAis
easy to council young men and o7
men to avoid the appearance ofNiyi.
1t is easy to say that he who cSlti-
Yates character need have no fear
of his reputation. But even preach
ers of these platitudes know that
they are not true. AS long as scanrI
dalmongers exist regulations can be
shattered over night. An artist paint
ed a picture showing q man pain
fully and laboriously building a house
the house Of reputation. The house
the work of his life :
time. His thought and toll and hope
had entered into it's construction.
The house was made beside a NOM
tain and from it was thrust a boul-
der-the boulder was known as scan
da. When the vast boulder of scan
dial was let Loose the house was
u terly crushed, and its builder
standing beside it, was helpless to
forestall its ruin. The man who seeks
all his life to live correctly and
honestly has no armour against scan
dal His right living is interpreted as
hypocrisy. His honesty is looked up
On as cover for secretly-pract;sed
villainies. Many are the ways OF :
starting evil reports and many are
the scrs Of people who engage in
this scoundrelly business. One Of
the penalties of real a hievement is
The breeding Of envy in the unsuc-
,essful. 1t is curious fact that
successful man, no matter how he
has accomplished his SUCCESS, finds
himself hated by many people who
lever saw him and of whom he has
never heard"

CORONER

II. F. Knight, Republican candidate
for Coroner, is a resident CT New
Plymouth. He has been, for years,
Mayor of that City where he has
the respect Of every citizen in the
community. He is man of matured
years, possessing all tha qualifica-
lions necessary to fill the office
of Coroner. He is one Of the few
left who saved our nation from des1
truction in 81 to '65. When you take
your ballot in the booth on Nov. S,
don't forget to place cross in the
little square opposite his name.

GOOD|NG FOR SENATOR

If the people OF Idaho send Frank
Gooding to the United states Senate
there is one thing we are sure o.
we will be sending a man with the
moral courage to stand pat for his
own convictions. He has spent the
greater part of his LIE in Idaho fol-
lowing lines closely connected wi b
agriculture and stock rails ng and
tainly qualities him to repress mt the
people Of Idaho. And We are sure
our boys who are fighting the worlds
great battle could have no better fri
end in Congress than Frank Good
ing.

PROBATE JUDGE

The office of Probate Judge is enc
of the most important offices in the
County. The person who fills this
office should be well versed in the
law because Of the fact that the
titln of real estate is often involved
in the settlement Of estates. Calvin
Keller, Republican candidate for
Probate Judge, is a lawyer duly Ii
censed to practise before the SUI
preme Court of the State Of Idaho.
For several. terms he held the Office
of Probate Judge in the State Of
Kansas-his home state, where he
performed the duties of this Of
flee with honors to himself and Gre
dit to the office. Mr. Keller is ex-
tremely patriotic. His son Earl is
now in France fighting for freedom
and democracy. Let's give his father
a vote and show that we appreciate
his ability and patriotism.

BURTON |. FRENCH

Some weeLs ago III. Republican
sto tie convention enSorsed the rec
ord in congress of Burton j.. French
and recently Mr.. French MS betn
nominated as a candidate before the
state primaries to be held on Sept
emoer 8. lie has no opposition with
in the Republican party.
Tho question is pertinent. Whit
kind of congrt ssman does Idaho
want" There are two kinds OF men
who often succee IN being re-elect1
ed to office. The one kid is the
man who is the student, who is IN
du5trious, who is desperately in ear
nest and who Ike cps ON the JOB.
Not a great deal is heard Of thi1
man from. day to day and yet in
his quiet way he gets resuls and
he leaves am indelible stamp on the
work that he does that brands it
as we'll done. The other kind is the
blusterer and buffer, the man who
neglects his work that he may ex-i
plot himself and keep in the Inns
light. He makes believe he is do
ing and going 10 do tremendous
things, but when you look back
over his record, ii is one Of prom
iscs unfulfilled, lit is empty
MIR. French belongs distinetiv5ly 10!
the former type. He is affable and
agreeable enough to be in close
touch with his colleagues and ear
nest and stra ghtforward enough to-
have their confidence. A leading
member of the house said Of him
not long ago that the key to his
standing and success in the house
is that the members don't nesd toI
check UP on what he says.
Mr.. French has so earnestly SUP
ported the country in the war cri-
sis that there should be no questi-n
as to his reelection. lie has upheld
the hands Of the President from tee
first. Contrary to every promo .nced
public sentiment, he stood firmly
for the selective draft measure, maxi
ing one of the ablest arguments in
its favor heard ON the floor Of con-
gress. The people who condemned,
approve his course today. His fight
for elimination Of tho communication
feature of the war risk insurance
bill eliminated in success and is
one of the disttnctively great achieF-f
ments of the congress. His activity |
in pushing the prohibition and the
woman suffrage amendments through
the house was Of vital Importance. o. |
tie latter fight he was one of |
steering committee Of four mem |
bers in the house who did the heavy |
work. He is member Of the In
dian affairs committee, one OF ei2ht |
committees CT the
house. His committee Handled al
aggregating upwards to
s11 900 900 during the rres:nt con-
gress. The careful work of the COM
mittee saved the governme more
than 81, 100000 careless work would
nave cost the government as much.
After all, we are glad Mr.. French
Is not a buffer and blusterer We
Ire glad he does not play to the
galleries. We are glad that fe IS
he quiet, earne st worker that he
s and we are glad that in these try
ng times he is one of the men who
sits at the council table.

school than neighbring districts
have, better school1uilding school

1t will go a long WV toward stim-
ulating such community patriotism
if about ten thousanCSouthern men
and women in revisig their wills
this year will include provision, or
add a codicil, makinssome bequest
for community impronment. Near
