A. c. Benson says: Il have often
thought of that last chapter of st.
Johns Gospel as one of the most be-
wildering and enchanting pieces of
literature. / can only say for me a
deep mystery broods over the record.
The glimpses of Him and even more
His absences seem TO me TO transcend
the powers of human invention. That
these men lived, that they believed
they saw the Lord seems to me the
only explanation, though | admit to
the full the battling mystery of it ALL"

hearts of men when allowed the right
of way. Has it done it with yours?
A hearty welcome to all our servic-
es.

ALL DROP LETTERS SHOULD
BEAR TWo-cENT STAMP

1t is quite evident from the number
of letters mailed at the Pleasantville
p~ostofice bearing but a one-cent stamp
that many persons are of the opinion
that no more postage is required, when
the letter is dropped in the local post
office and addressed to a person at the
same office. This is an error. Because
we have free delivery of mail in Plea
santville it costs just as much to mail
a letter to a person in ~Pleasantville
as it does to one living in California.
Bear this in mind hereafter and on all
drop letters as we'll as those addressed
to other postoffices place a two-cent
stamp,

Landing and the extra distance com
bined with a series of pu~nctures. blow

until late in the afternoon. In the
meantime the tents, seven in all, were
put up and everything was in readi-
ness for supper as soon as the provis-
ions arrived. The campers turned in
promptly at ten o'clock for the night,
but owing to the. excitement of the
day it was after midnight before abso-
lutte quiet prevailed. The bugle blew
at 6 o'clock Thursday morning. and all
hands turned out and after taking a
plunge in the lake gathered around the
mess tables, when a hearty and sub
stantial breakfast was enjoyed. Mrs
Steelman and Mrs. Hopf have charge
of the culinary department, details of

WHAT DID THEY EXPECT?

The business men of Nampa are in
dignant at the attitude taken by their
newly established daily newspaper
The newspaper is too radical; it is too
Socialistic; it is too much I. w. W.;
it is in fact typically "Non-Partisan.
The new paper s exactly what it
was expected to be. The Non-Partisan
League is a Socialistic organization
with close affiliation with l. w.
W.ism. Its leadership has been shown
to be throughout in close touch with
the worst elements in the country
ranging from out and out l. w.
WIS to pro-Germans. Townley, Lee
Seur, Haywood, Debs and down to
Horace Mann are all off the same bolt
of calico.
We wonder what the Nampa bust
ness men expected? Nobody else ex-
pected them to get anything else than
exactly what they are getting. Scant
sympathy will be wasted on a COM
munity that so fondly embraced the
league at the first opportunity.
While no sympathy will be wasted
upon Nampa it is an outrage that such
newspaper is published in Idaho.
The state is injured Our citizenship
is insulted and defiled The empty
mouthings that for years filled the
Appeal to Reason now finds an outlet
in the newspaper assisted and sup
ported by the business men of Mamma

tice. The plan, if adopted, would be
a startling departure from practices in
force the world over, and yet, in de.
mocracy like this. it might work with
entire satisfaction. Certainly it would
create among the soldiers feeling of
responsibility for the conduct Of those
among them who might tend to law
lessness. There would undoubtedly
be some instances in which a jury
composed of soldiers would acquit one
guilty of minor offense. Instances
of this kind would be rare, however. In
general, jury of soldiers would ap-
preciate the fact that their own safety
and the promotion of efficiency in
the army require their holding their
fellow soldiers to strict accountability
for any lapses or infringement of mill
tary discipline. The experiment would
would at least be worth trying.

JUDGE VARIAN

A splendid man is the new Judge of
the Seventh Judicial District. He is a
lawyer of ripe experience. He is a
man of solid worth. He has won a
great reputation as lawyer and as a
man. Governor Davis could not have
made better selection. He will
prove a worthy successor of the late
Judge Isaac F. Smith who quickly es-
tablished himself in the respect and
affection of the people OF the district.
Judge Varian did not want the posi-
ton. He felt, and it was fact, that
in accepting the office, he was making
real financial sacrifice. Here was
an instance where the office sought
the man and later went in and smoked
him out. Finally like the good citizen
that he IS Judge Varian accepted.
We are very glad that Governor
Davis appointed Judge varian. The
appointment for years to come will be
matter upon which he can look back
with pride and satisfaction.

PAYING THE PRICE

Japan asked for racial equality. in
order to secure a free hand in China.
and got away with it. The amateurs
at the Peace Conference have been
made to look like boobs by ALenine,
italy and Japan. We fear that the
German embassy to the Peace Con-
terence will go home with a great deal
more than it had any right to expect,
Great Britain has secured everything
she wanted. France and Belgium, the
two countries the peoples of all coun-
tries wanted to see fully satisfied, are
dissatisfied. Wherein the present
Peace Conference is much different
from the celebrated and ill-famed con-
gress OF Vienna is not apparent. Both
conferences will have left dissatisfac-
ton enough to cause dozen wars or
more.
We must not forget the march of
the president and his retinue from
capital to capital though. The march
of triumph is all the United States
will get out of its forty billions. We
are paying the price.

WHAT IS THE NATTER

Ninety days ago a Caldwell firm
suffered the destruction of its place
of business and stock in trade by fire
To this day the insurance companies
have failed to adjust the loss or fulfill
their contracts. This firm is unable
to rebuild or go about its business I'M
til the fire loss adjustments are made.
Idaho has department whose bust
ness it is to see that citizens and tax
payers of Idaho are protected in their
business relations with foreign insur-
ance companies. No man is protected
unless his losses are promptly adju-
Dictated and settled. Ninety days
would seem to be ample time in which
to attend to these matters.
We would respectfully inquire why
the state insurance commissioner is
not taking action? If he has no pow
er and the matter must go into the
courts his office could we'll be dis
pensed with as the courts could be
appealed to in any event.
We do not pass upon the merits
of the controversy but there ought to
be some way of reaching a decision
within reasonable length of time.

president. His policies were the presi-
dents policies and his methods were
the methods of the president or he
would not have been where he is for
six long years.
1t is not remarkable that men every
where are talking of impeachment pro-
ceedings. That is the only way of re-
moving the postmaster general from
his office. Congress is now gathering
evidence, and the hurricane of disap-
proval that has swept the country dur
ing the past 90 days, will strengthen
the determination of congress to get
rid of Burleson.
1t may be safely stated that if Bur-
Lesson does not resign or is not remov-
ed by the president that he will be inn
peached, tried and convicted Bur
Lesson must go says organized labor,
Democratic organizations, the Repub-
lican congress and the people gener-
ally regardless of politics.

the conference and left Paris. The
conference decided Tuesday that
Fiume shall remain autonomous for
two years when it will be assigned to
Italy.
The victory of the president was a
compromise wherein Italy got exactly
what she wanted. Another victory
worthy of recording is that of the
president with Japan wherein Japan
is given a free hand in Shantung.
This was an anomalous case to that of
Fiume. The president triumphed in
Doth instances by both Japan and
Italy getting what they demanded.
A few more personal triumphs at
Paris and the old gang of world poll
ticians, who are anathema to the
president, will burst with unholy glee.
