a single flaw. Yet, because these Of
ficials may not always have exercised
tho best judgment in discharge of their
duties, as revealed by developments
which have followed their decisions on
particular courses Of action, is it fair
to charge them with WIKI lesalc corrup-
ton. deception and dishonesty?
Public officials, both state and ma
tional, were selected by your vote and
my vote. They were the majority
choice of the common veal, and it
surely is unbecoming to attempt to
belittle Ahose in whom the majority
has placed its confidence at the pol
ling booth.
During the ensuing political cam
paign it indeed win be fttin,: to weigh
the merits of the several candidates
and, before exercising ones franchise,
to carefully compare the records of
candidates for public office, to deter
mine which, among rivals, is more
worthy, or which is unworthy of pub
lie support
But to openly censure and ridicule |
this man or that man, as a public ser
want, with suggestions of graft and
corruption, based merely on the unsta-
bic grounds of partisanship, smacks of
narrow-mindedncss, bigotry and cgotism
This course, primarily not founded
upon actual distrust, yet is made to
appear as such, and is one of the con
tributing causes to social unrest in the
country today.

OFFICIALS UNDER FIRE

Already they're 1layng public of
icials who are expected to seek re
turn to office, or to be factors in the
forthcoming election, whether as in
dividual candidates, or merely as di
rectors of the game from the sidelines
Practically every man who holds pub
lie office in Idaho has been target
for abuse, from one quarter or another
and many have taken occasion to at
tempt to discredit the national admi-
nistration for shortcomings, real or
imagined.
True it is that all men ere. human,
and public officials Except in instances
where suffragists have made them
selves heard to the extend of being
selected as public seryants) are men.
1t, therefore, would lie impossible to
find their records as officials devoid of

WHERE A PEN IN THE HAND is
NOT WORTH TWO IN THE BUSH

"And now ! take my pen in hand ,
How meaningless How utterly
waste of time Yet such introduction
to a social or business letter at one
time was considered altogether pro
per, and even in these days of great
need for efficiency, through short cuts
in order to crowd much work into
little time, there are some who per-
sist in opening their epistles by set
ting forth, in writing, the self-evi-
dent fact that they have taken their
open in hand" or some kindred non
sense.
And from such folk, one might rea-
sonably expect an epistlar ending sim
liar to the Latin translation: eff
you are well, it is well. l also am
we'll"
Time is much toe valuable to waste
on such unproductive and useless eff
fort in letter writing. Imagine fifty
or 100 letters day, the very essence
of which is buried beneath a deep
covering of complimentary niceties
IT'S not so much loss of time by the
writer of the epistle, nor of his typ
list, that is regrettable, for he who
has desire to thus clothe his letters,
also must have time to spare-and he
is presumed to be paying his typist.
1t is, then, the recipient of the let
ter, upon whose good nature the wri
ter is trespassing, for he to whom the
epistle is sent must necessarily wade
through needless trash, ere the real
message is revealed to him.
Case of roundabout ways employed |
n letter writing merely is character
site of lack of efficiency which is
'evealed in practically every line of
,ndeavor, with constant waste of time
md energy, which should be employed
o good purpose. In these days of pre-
ious minutes, each of which should
iold for everyone a definite value in
-old, greater efficiency is a crying
iced. We no longer travel in carts
rawn by oxen, nor thresh grain with
fail, but We have not yet learned
0 make the most of our opportunities
or enhancing the value of our days.

 I7G1IE unhappy observations of Mir

 S rolling pin were widely read be- cause they represent a general conviction In Europe, where husband generally is more honored in all directions but one than in this country, the legend of the abject submissiveness of the American male and the unchecked domination of the fierce, athletic girl'' Is universally believed; and we are race inclined to believe anything that foreigners say about us. Our novelists and playwrights have helped the cause along by portray ing not necessarily what they regarded as characteristic of American life, but what they knew their audience had been educated to regard as characteristic of American life.
 Now comes voice crying in the will derness. and to none other than those very persons who had been pictured as autocratic expresses of the American home.

Police Department Helps
 To Find Missing Family

e EVERAL weeks ago woman 0 appeared at the city hall and asked for help. Her husband had re- gently died of tuberculosis, leaving his widow and five small children destitute. The unfortunate mother said she had been doing farm work with the help of her oldest child, a boy about Il years old, and par tially blind.
 The plight of the family touched the hearts of city hall officials, as well as an Herald reporter. He wrote a 0story' about the woman and her children, which appeared the fol- lowing day. Generous people of Bir- mingham and Ensley were eager to relieve their distress. A considera- ble sum of money was sent to The Age-Herald office. There were or fers of food and clothing, home and a chance to earn decent living.
 But the woman has never returned to the city hall to receive the assist ance promised her. She and her five children have disappeared as com pletely as if they had been whisked away in an airplane. All efforts to locate the family having failed, the city police department was called on to solve the mystery. A detective was assigned to unique quest. He has been ordered to seek in the high ways and byways for little group of miserable human beings whom some perversity of fate has separa- ted from their would-be benefactors.

OUR DOCILE DAUGHTERS

necessary to guard against excessive do- cility; to avoid ex cathedra pronounce ments; to seek to arouse doubt, objection, resistance
 Into the American household, hitherto more or less quiescent, Dr Nelson brings not peace but sword Those whom for eigners regard as tyrannieal rulers of the household are to avoid excessive docil- ity." Doubt. objection, resistance must 4be encouraged. It may be good thing for the race, but it is hard on the hus- band. With the arrival of prohibition many persons have begun to spend at home those evenings which once were dissipated in ardent conversation down at the corner rum palace. Whatever the faults of John Barleycorn, he sthnu- lated not only the flow of conversation. but still more the appreciation of il.

Alleys in Bad Condition.

While there is so much talk regard ing the condition of the city's streets, should like to call attention to some of the alleys said Ferd Caheen. "It Is appropriate to call attention to this because the remedy is so easy.
 "A visitor coming to the city and seeing Highland avenue this afternoon would have received mighty poor inn pression of Birmingham. in spite of the boasted beauty of this thorough fare. Mud, bricks and debris were washed down from the alleys to the sidewalks of Highland avenue until in places the walks were absolutely inn passable. It is sad situation when pedestrians cannot walk along the most beautiful avenue in the city.
 Paving of the alleys would solve this continual trouble. It would not cost the city anything because the property owners would bear the cost It seems to me to be matter which urgently needs attention.''

Modern Advertising
 In Religious Work

N AFRICANS realize the value of GA publicity more than any other nation on earth. "It pays to adver- tise" is the gospel of American busi- ness. It is the foundation of huge industries built up solely by the power of publicity-not the sporadic kind, but sustained, day after day and year after year, with the goods to back it, until the public was "edu- cated" to do most of it's buying ac- cording to trade-brands.
 Recently the churches of America began to realize that if display ad- vertising was good for banks, fac tories, department stores, it could be used to increase attendance, to keep before the public the activities of re- ligious denominations and particular ly to call attention to unusual events e,a the churches, such as the appear ance of noted pulpit orator or the beginning of a revival
 Starting on modest scale in a few of the larger cities, church advertis- ing has spread throughout the coun- try. It is no longer a novelty in Birmingham and is familiar to news paper readers in other cities of the United States.
 When it was first proposed to ad- yertise church services, there was opposition--naturally. The scandal caused by the installation of the first organ in rural church has beer utilized more than once as a theme for humorous story. Such adver. tising was deemed sacrilegious, and i. still so considered by old-fashionec 1 people, but it's practical advantages Iare so great that prejudice has been silencsd. Christianity has become
