TO THE MEMORY OF
WILLIAM e. WHEELER

1t was a fine mark of respect that
Idaho Falls paid to the memory of
Editor w. E. Wheeler last week
when all business houses closed for
one hour for his funeral.
While six of the older business
men, his former associates in town
building, acted as pall-bearers, six
others acted as honorary pail
bearers.
In the little city where he founded
a newspaper under forbidding sur
roundings, in the city he helped build
from a sage plain, in the city he
helped to Great in ideals, in printers
ink and then in material form, he
lived and passed out.
On the forbidding plain which he
predicted would at some time be-
come agricultural, on the river
banks that were long ridiculed as a
site for city, he proved the value
of the pen and the plow-share.
In the village where men opposed
him and sought to destroy his en-
thusiasm, where they made light Of
his day-dreams, where they admired
his assurance but questioned his
vision, where they afterwards came
back acting ON the ideas inspired by
his dreams, he lived and worked and
died.
In the fiourishing city of his
dreams, amid the modern things that
surpassed his own expectations,
among the people for whom he
planned great things made possible
L., T. <. ,scsN NJ h$c CT
nings of his thoughts, he saw his fell
low men build large business on
foundations which he had laid.
The ideas and ideals of his dreams
put into form and sent out. were
criticised, rejected, suppressed, re-
surrected in later times and brought
back by men claiming them as their
own, because, thru assimilation and
appropriation 70 themselves by right
Of peaceable possession Il passed

muster that way, and day by day the
author of the thought saw his pro-
ducts entering into large service and
honoring or profiting those who re-
jected them at first.
An honest man always ready to ex-
press his views, never hesitating be-
cause Of the certainty that others
would differ and say he was catering
to "the interests" he was content
to divine the truth and utter it and
then wait for time to prove the worth
and correctness Of his statements.
Always an ardent booster for his
valley and his town, spreading the
fruit of his good works alike upon
the just and upon the unjust, broad
enough to ignore what was petty and
temporary or of passing value, w. e.
Wheeler lived, and planned and
dreamed, backing his ideas with his
energy and in the sunset of life, as
his body failed, he saw the more
rapid fruition of his hopes.
Accustomed to working for the
benefit Of others, he was happy in
the prosperity of his neighbors after
he had retired from active business.
He was out sightseeing when he met
his fate. A car honked and wheels
locked and stopped, but it had tapped
his feeble form, and he was on his
way in the long sleep.
The spirit that meets bravely the
battles of life is entitled to sleep,
sweet sleep, and 1t was a fine ex-
preston of appreciation for all the
activities Of the city to become stilled
and for q double set Of pall-bearers
to march besides the bier when they
laid him down in final slumber.

CONSCIENTIOUS Oh.
lECTORS ON TRIAL
American Legion Taking Steps to
Determine Conclusions Of
Department
DIsPLEAsED WITH PARTIALLY

WASHINGTON.-One of the acts
of the war department that will be
thoroly probed by the congress will
be the treatment accorded the So
called Conscientious objectors."
The American leigon Is on record
demanding to know by what mode of
reasoning the department reached
the conclusion that hundreds of men
who refused to serve this country
sho. ID have been treated with more
consideration than the man who did
the fighting. The association holds
that one of the cruelest injustices~ OF
the whole war was the preference
given the men who wanted to escape
real service.
pin Senator Kellogg has representedsa
resolution asking information of the
secretary OF war on the matter OF
this select set who were treated with
more consideration than 9th sr young
men who went to the colors. It
follows:
Whereas during previous months
the press of the country published
articles relative to the release of
conscientious DIRECTORS from the
military service and from confine-
ment; and
Whereas It is alleged that the war
department considered the matter
subjectively and authorized that con-
scientious directors should be given
honorable discharges from the mill
tary service, are entitled to all COM
pensation in arrears at the time of
their discharge, which compensation
was rendered them; and
Whereas the people OF the United
States, and particularly those who
served faithfully in the military SER
vice, are entitled to complete, true,
and detailed report of the action of
the war department alleged above:
Therefore be 1t
Resolved, that the secretary of
war shall be, and he is hereby, re-
quested to furnish a complete and
detailed report of the action takeE by
the war department affecting con-
scientious directors, which report
shall set forth names, dates of con-
finement, and dates of discharge,
amount of compensation rendered
each individual, and the character of
the discharge granted in each in
stance; said report to be submitted
to the senate at the earliest practical
date.

Injured Boy Was PIucky and Was Able
to Go to Doctors Office to Have
His Wound
Dressed.

! John Burrows, the fifteen year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. James Burrows,
was the victim Of hunting accident
late yesterday afternoon when load
+ ed gun went off accidentally and shot
him above the right arm in the tieshy
part. He was taken to st. Joseph 8
hospital where the wound was dress
ed and he Is doing nicely there to-

Young Burrows, BILLY" Holdings
WORTH" both sons OF Keokuk attor-
neys, and Pearl Perkins started out
in leaky boat late Monday after
noon to hunt ducks. The boat was
even too leaky for three eager game
men 50 they came back to shore to
get another one. In making the
change from one boat to the other,
the gun went off accidentally as 1t
was being handed from the first skin
to the second and Burrows who was
bending over, was the victim of the
shot. Perkins was close by and Bur
rows said if Perkins had been stand
ing up where he was untying the
boat, Perkins would certainly have
been dead boy.
Lad is Plucxy.
The doctor told the father OF the
wounded boy that his son was the
Quickest boy he hao ever seen.
John didn't think he was badly hurt
as he felt no particular pain from his
injury and started to walk up the hill
with his two companions from the
boat house. Hollingsworth and Per
kins accompanied him to the doc
tors office where they had to wait
half an hour before they could be
served. DUNG this interval both
Billy and John called their parents
over the telephone and said they
were down town and would be home
later, never mentioning the shooting.
After the second doctor arrived
upon the scene, and saw the first aid
which had been administered to him,
he suggested the hospital to Bur
rows, but the young lad wouldn't
hear Of 1t until after he had gone
home to tell his family. He refused
to call them over the phone because
he would brighten them so the doc,
tor took him there in his car and the
lad jumped out of the machine and
rushed into the house as If nothing
had happened and quietly told his
mother not to worry, but that he had
been shot and was going to the hos
pital to have the wound dressed.
The shooting was entirely an acct
dent as the gun went off with no one
pulling the trigger as 1t was being
lifted from one boat to the other.
