RUMOR is ALSO III
SPICE OF FIFE

Rumor puts the spice in life for most
of us. Rumors at best are unreliable
but they always raise a question or a
doubt and these are the things that
start tongues to wagging, nor rumors
circulating, and spectators to specu-
lating. They stimulate the brain,
guide the thought into more active
channels and rouse curiosity concern
ing the people or issues involved. That
is why the Press last week published
the rumored campaign issue.
The interested persons will sift the
rumors to their origin and prove or
disproVe them to his own satisfaction.
That is what should be lone with the
rumors published in last weeks Press
editorial entitled Some Political Is
sues in Power County" If the rumors
therein stated are based on fact and
are true to the detriment of the parties
or candidates involved they should be
properly considered at election time.
If they are untrue and irrevelent that
should be disregardeds
Who for Nuisance will say that com
missioner Earrings connection with a
grain company has ever influenced his
conduct in office, or his attitude to-
ward questions concerning his COM
pany? Rumors or conclusions to that
effect are baseless. No man in the
history of local county government has
given more for the general good of the
taxpayers, has been more considerate
of his political opponents, has more
carefully guarded the public expendi-
lures of the county, or more faithfully
served the people than Ezra Earring.
The only real criticism of Auditor
French is that in the past he has at
tempted too much for the public good.
Always alert in matters of civic i'm
portance, it has often fell to his lot
to shoulder the burden of responsible
ity, a burden that was seriously ac-
cepted and executed for the public
good. There are those who perhaps
have suffered but the community as a
whole has been greatly benefited thru
the willing officers of G. Lee French.
He has worked, for himself long
enough to feel the independence of
the man who has learned to rely who'll
ly on his ability. During the past
year he has been forced to %relinquish
practically everything but his duty as
auditor on account of impaired health
which he is rapidly regaining. In fact
he has not ven been on a fishin' trip
since the first of the year. It is not
important that a man goes fishing,
hunting or motoring, 1t is very inn
Portant however that he economic in
office, keep his records in good shape,
is always to be found on the job and is
careful to serve every taxpayer as a
courteous and efficient employee
should serve Rumors are good slim
ulants. When you hear a rumor about
a county official or about a candidate
of any party sift it down and prove it
before you believe it and circulate it
as the truth.
Candidates on both the Republican
and Democratic tickets are above base
less rumors. They are, almost without
exception, men of unusual ability. Both
parties have nominated their best men
and may the best men and women win.

ELECTION IRREGULARITIES
SHOULD BE CHECKED.

Election irregularities if allowed to
PERSIST will become a menace to any
people. That is why more attention
should be paid to the conduct of school
elections. The laws of the state are
very plain regarding them, and the
trustees of Independent District Num-
Der TWO have no excuse for the laxity
admitted during their last election.
People are not satisfied when irregu-
larities are condoned. They lose re-
spect for the law and for the officials.
Boards that disregard the law with the
plea that they are trying to save money
for the dear people can rightly be
looked upon with suspicion. True
guardians of the public are careful to
comply with the law and prevent ire
gularities in the conduct of their Of
flee for their own protection as well
as for the protection of the public.

There was a man out in Long
Island a week or SO ago who took
horse around to a chap that runs
"a riding academy and he offered to
sell the animal at a bargain.
Whats wrong with it," asked
the riding master. "Why. nothing"
said the mar with the horse. Its
really a fine animal for riding or
driving. It's gentle, has lots of
spirit and good staying power"
The riding master asked the man
why he wanted to sell it. Well
he said. my wife now has a baby
and since she has the baby she has
no time to take are of the horse
There were folk who criticized that
man forgetting hat it's a nice hing
to be kind TO animals and see they

lcdu rails.
There are more horses and enter
tanners here than ever before-a fact
that testifies to the growing popular
ity of American Falls as a Roundup
town. No discouragements seem cap
able of influencing local people against
this annual event that has made local
history for the past fifteen years. The
crisis was passed last year. This sea-
son there was no question regarding
the Roundup. 1t had become an in
stitution.
Let every citizen Of the town and
county remember his duty as a host.
Let not a single valid complaint be re-
gistered without remedy. So conduct
the Roundup that every participant
realizes a square deal and so protect
the spectators that they may have no
complaint as to the way events were
conducted. Then it can be said for
the fifteenth consecutive time, that
the Roundup Officials, the business
men and the citizens of Power County
are square shooters, that they meet
their obligations, and that American
Falls is and will continue to be the
best Roundup Town in Idaho.

LAW ENFORCEMENL

1t is often said that law enforce
ment depends upon public opinion.
There was a more fallacious
statement made. 1t is a smoke
screen which often hides ~cowardly,
inefficient, OF corrupt public Off
Gals. That doctrine has done
more to break down respect for
Law and to prevent the enforce
ment of law than any other state
ment ever made.
Law is sovereign. There is no
snch thing and never was such a
thing as the divine right of kings.
But there is such a thing and there
will be forever such a thing as the
divine, sovereign right of law. Law
is sovereign. And laws ought to
conform to the sovereign right of
eternal LAW.

criminal believes m the penalty that

A CLEAN


The Democratic party offers a clean
cut platform, if one is to judge by the
advertisement last week in the Press.
The county candidates are tying to the
state platform as formulated at Hail
ey and are sponsoring their candidates
on the basis Of their standing in the
community. With both parties adher-
ing to this principle the campaign
should be fairly and clearly fought
out to the entire satisfaction of a ma
jority of the voters.

law inhicts. No criminal believes IN
justice. No criminal wants justice.
Therefore, when it is said that
public opinion controls the enforce
ment of law, THEN, it IS said thai
public opinion is the opinion OF crim-

criminal opinion.

According to dietiticians, one

was none too much for the hun

BRUTE ISLAND" is A
STIRRING SOUTH SEA
ISLANDS PICTURE

Brute Island" starring Harry
Carey, is the current five-reel
picture at the "B" theater, today
and tomorrow.
1t is a story of adventure with
out alloy. It's setting is .he un-
charted South Seas and Islands,
where every man is a law unto
himself. where fighting has no
referee and success is to the
strong. Its hero is a man who
has had the best that civilization
had to offer, and who, finG!ng
it bitter, set his back upon it and
plunged with his whole soul into
the business of forgetting it, with
the result that he becomes the
terror of the Solomon Islands,
the symbol of lawlessness at its
worst.
The portrayal of his career
makes a picture that is full of
tense situations, daring achieve
ment and dramatic climax.
