A BOISE NEWSPAPER
RISES TO IT'S DUTY

The Idaho Statesman published at
Boise has risen on at least one occa-
sion to perform duty that some pa
per at the state capital should have
been doing for years. We refer to
their publication of an article recent
ly in which they exposed some of
the profiteering of the lumber COM
pany presided over by Mr.. G. A.
Barton, formerly a member of the
draft board whose son was excused
from service and himself dismissed
from his position on the board but
afterwards exonerated by General
Crowder and the secretary of war
after a personal interview by John
Hart, also a member of the same
board who had three sons exempted
Miles Cannon compiled some in
formation showing that the lumber
companies were making unjust
charges for building materials, high
err in some places than in others, and
the difference in rates not based
on costs. 1t was rendered to Editor
Cobb of the Statesman, and he did
not believe the statements of Com
missioner Cannon were true. Very
much to Cobb's surprise, Cannon
furnished the proof of each one of
some seventeen charges of unjust
prices, and then Mr. Cobb went to
General Manager Barton to hear
what he had to say about it. Cobb
and Barton are, or were, close per
sonal friends, and Barton is said to
have made no defense, but asked
Mr.. Cobb not to publish it, and fur
Their emphasized the request by
threatening to prosecute him for Ii
bel if he did print it.
Mr.. Cobb rose to the occasion and
said the whole matter would be pub
lished, and if there was prosecution,
the proof of the truth of the state
ments would be his answer to that
in court, so the article was pub
lished, and altho several weeks have
passed, Mr.. Cobb is still enjoying his
liberty and no prosecution has been
started
Mr.. Cobb's action is the more
commendable because his son, Lyon
Cobb, who assists his father some
times in the management of the
Idaho Statesman, is the assistant
general manager of the lumber COM
pany of which Mr.. Barton is chief.
When Calvin Cobb exposed the profit
teering of the lumber company he
was exposing the activities of his
own sons employing company. And
when Lyon Cobb helped his father or
acted for him when father Cobb was
away at the sanitarium as he is just
now, he was helping to manage the
paper that was lambasting him and
his company, yet both father and
son hewed to the line regardless Of
consequences. No man can say that
ism for friend or relative or business
or social associate in that crisis. An
emperor of Rome once condemned
his own son to death for violating
the law, but in this crisis the son
helped at his own condemnation.
We claim there has been broad
field of that kind of publicity in
Boise all these years, and the Boise
paper that has the courage and the |
fine sense of fairness to dig out the |
facts and give them to the public, is |
the paper that will be abundantly
cursed, it's editor will be threatened |
and bounded and prosecuted, and if
he and his associates have the nerve
to keep that newspaper to her course
it will build up into a great power
for good.

|, could not have gone on. with the re-
markable incidents which marked 1t
without more public notice being d.
rected to it. 1t Is perhaps as strange a
thing as has ever been in the history
of a country that the kings brother
and the kings persOnator, in time OF
profound peace, near placid, undis'
turbed country town. under semblance
Of amlty, should wage desperate war
for the person and life Of the king.
Yet such was the struggle between
Black Michael and Rudolf Rassendyll,
both of the royal house Of Elphberg'
but of very differing antecedents. The
one was well known to the royal pal
ace at Strelsau; the other was at
home at 3O5 Park lane, London, West.
The kinship between the two was quite
an accident. dating from the year l733.
when dashing young prince, later
known to fame as Rudolf the Third OF
Ruritania, paid visit to London.
There he was cOurteously entertained
and was a great favorite with the
ladies', especially Amelia, countess of
Burlsdon, and Baroness Rassendyll. In
the end the prince left England rather
hastily under a cloud, but not before
he had fought somewhat sanguinary
duel with Countess Amelia's husband.
In the years since there have appeared
at intervals in the family of the Ras-
sendylls certain sons who have been
marked by the long, sharp, straight
nose and the dark red hair of the royal
house Of Rurltania.
The years pass many Of them, and
another Rudolf Of Elphberg is about
to be crowned king Of Ruritania. The
same nose, the same red hair distin-
guish him. The loyal half Of the popu.
lation Of Ruritania could not sleep at
night till the coronation was safely
over. For the late king had left an
other son, by second and morganatic
marriage, Black Michael, duke of
Strelsau and lord Of Zenda. Though
Michael bore none of the marks Of the
Elphbergs he had been his fathers
favorite, and he cast longing eye on
the throne; all the cut-thrOats and
blackguards Of Ruritania seconded his
wish, for Michael was man after
their own hearts.
