Of her beauty, tho it's not mine.

And her mountains, Oh, so fair.
But of all these wondrous beauties,
None l know can e'er surpass,
Those of grand old Idaho!

COUNTY TREASURER

Mrs. Ruth Shaw is before the peo~
pie for the office of County Treasur
er and it seems hardly necessary for
US to offer words in her behalf as
she is well known and her excellent
qualifications for such office are IN
questioned. She is what is called to-
day, a practical business woman, and
if she is elected the people of Pay
cite County will realize that they
were wise in their choice.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS


knows that filial love cannot take the
place of romantic love, and that no matter
how devoted son may be to his mother,
or how necessary she is to his happiness,
the feeling he has for her does not prevent
him from vcarning to find hls mate.
Also the woman knows, from her own
experience, that the love one has for one s
mother, and the love one bears ones hus-
band or wife are not antagonistlc, be
cause they are no more alike than day and
night or fire and water. They are entirely
different passions, springlng from diifer-
ent emotions, and so the jealousy between
mother and wife, or mother and husband
is the most senseless waste of emotion In
the world
To ask which one loves the better, ones
wife or husband or mother, is as futile as
to ask whether one prefers roast beef or
ice cream Indeed, instead of wife or
husband superseding their mothers In
their affections, most men and women
love their mothers better after they are
married than they did before, because they
realize the more all their mothers have
done for them, and so appreciate them
more.
And any woman who has the courage to
look facts square in the face, knows that
while her child may be the one person OF
absorbing interest III the universe to her,
her compauionship is not enough for her
child. She can sit entranced for hours
listening to her son tell every little detail
of his daily life. what he has done at the
office. whom he saw, what they did, and
so on. but when she begins To rcmlnsce
about her own affairs he Is bored stiff He
cares nothing about the sewing society, or
h..c tot. a hR
rheumatism of his mothers old cronies.
Youth calls TO youth, and age may not
answer it. No mother can possibly be the
comradc to man that a wife can be,
because, after all, the mother and sou
belong to different generations, and cac
generation has its own viewpoint, and
between them a great gulf Is fixed.
Therefore the mother who keeps her
son from marrying is booming him 70
loneliness She is cutting him off from
that companionship Of husband and wife
that is the greatest JOY Of life, and she does
not make up for 1t by feeding him OF Just
the things he likes, aud keeping his socks
darned with care that no wife would
bcstow upon HIM
And the mother must surely realize that
in the ordinary course Of events her son
will outllve her. Has she no pity then
for his dcsolate days if she has kept him
from forming any other tics?
The man who marries the won n be
loves, who has children about his krces
and grandchildren to cheer his old age,
Is nlncty-ninc times out Of a hundred a
happier man, better man, and more
prosperous man than the one who never
marrieS. This Is the natural destiny OF
man, and no one has right to inter
fere with il.
