in building the greater water sys-
TEN. It's value has come to be felt
and appreciated, and the danger and
damage of cliques and maneuvering
are things to be avoided when plain,
open understandings are so much
better. The campaign was without
differences - everybody wanted a
plain, economical administration,
and they knew plenty of men who
could be depended on to give it. 1t
was case OF having an election
without any politics. with no state
or federal organization to serve or
support-just a home town that
knew what it wanted and ordered it
up and went on about it's work.
There are two subjects for con-
gratulation-the people have come
to know the capabilities of their
leading citizens and to accept their
services gratefully; the people have
come to know and trust each other
in public matters, and this should
be subject of pride to all, a matter
to be cultivated from day to day and
from year to year to make Blackfoot
a better place to live.

minutes, and cities were enforcing
ordinances against Sunday dancing,
for the contestants engaged in again
breaking the record danced on thru
Sunday altho, in order to do it they
had to engage moying-vans, trucks
with large platforms, to carry them
out of the city limits while they
danced They danced down stairs
and into the street, up the gang
planks aboard the vans and were
carried away keeping up the contest.
At one place there were thirty
seven people who entered the con-
test and one by one they fell and
were carrined out or helped to hos
pitfalls to be rested and treated. They
produced nothing, gained nothing,
delivered nothing of any value to
anyone. The nearest approach they
made to making anything was to
charge an admission of dollar
apiece for people who entered to
gaze upon the dancers, and out OF
this fund the management gave some
prizes for those who staid in the
race for certain periods.
Human endurance has been tested
in a thouand useful ways and nearly
as many useless ways, and now they
are probably applauding the hun
dred per cent advance made recently
in the duration OF dancing hours,
and it is type of progress that does
not get us anywhere or bring us any
thing, excepting, perhaps, a few
more broken down men and women.

lated the law but yet without harm
ing anyone.
An officer was asked to go and
search a residence on grounds OF i'm
moral conduct, and the complaining
neighbor declined to sign a COM
plant, and admitted that he had no
knowledge and no proof. The offf-
Ger felt it his duty to investigate
without entering the home, and
found the folks having jolly visit
over some coffee and sandwiches, the
mother and daughters having been
escorted out to an entertainment by
friends, and they set lunch in re-
turn for this treat. The neighbor
had been suffering wrong that ex-
listed only in his own mind and did
not claim that he or his family were
being injured or wronged, but he
assumed that some law was being
violated and would risk real injury
and insult and the breaking up of
friendships in the neighborhood for
the vindication of the law because it
was law.
There is always an element bor
rowing trouble and expressing dis
satisfaction with the police force or
the sheriff's office or the city fathers,
and agitating for a change. Some
times they are right and sometimes
they are wrong, but when there Is
real injury, they are usually willing
to sign a complaint and go into court
and testify to what they know. Then
there is always the human element in
the case. The witness who does not
understand all about it, the officer
who is mistaken in part or who did
not happen to know that the wrong
was being committed. People who
are about to do wrong, act at the
moment when the officer is not pres
ent, but they may ignore the pre-
sence Of a citizen. and the citizen
may see bootlegging operations and
blame the officers for negligence
when in fact the officers know moths
ing about it, and the one complain
ing is the only one guilty of neglect
because he does not communicate it
to the officers.
There is more of this kind of guilt
among the citizens than there is |
among the officers in most of our
towns.

BLACKFOOT'S CITY
GOVERNMENT

Blackfoot is an exceptionally clean
town in more ways than one. 1t Is
physically clean in that the rubbish
is carted out, buried or burned, and
it is a clean town in that people are
not annoyed by holdups, burglaries,
drunkenness, street brawls, profan-
ity or other things that are offensive
or damaging to good morals. The
town has been free from strikes,
mobs, and other forms of violence
the authorities and leave the indi-
vidual unprotected.
There is some booze and there is
some other outcropping of human
desires that legislation never did
and never will suppress, but condi-
tions are improving rapidly as hui
mainly is improving or as fast as it
rises above its appetites and pas
sions. 1t has not been long since
we had the open saloon and COM
mercialized vice wide open and rec
ognized as necessary evil. People
have chosen to drive these things
off the face of the earth, with the
result that the vices have done just
what was to be expected sought
cover and existed in lesser volume,
with more restraint, more secrecy
and in some respects, more damaging
results. But on the whole 1t is a
more acceptable situation than be-
fore, and only those who think that
legislation can change human desires
are disappointed at the failure to
entirely suppress Objectionable prac-
tees.
But a great deal of the worry over
the unsatisfactory phases of the pres
ent conditions Is uncalled for. A
good many people worry over what
is assumed to be wrong when all is
we'll. For example, an officer was
called to 60 and search a residence
on the assurance Of a neighbor that !

they had just received jug of liquor
Declaration was made that it had
been going on right along at stated
periods and the neighbor was de-
termined that 1t should be stopped
! 1t was admitted that there was nc
carousing and no disturbance, but IL
was against the law and it must be
stopped. The officers decided to act
on this declaration, and found the
! jug that had been described. II
was on the dining room table when
they entered the house and no effort
was made to spirit it away. 1t con-
tanned buttermilk.
Now this neighbor was suffering
actual bad government and violation
of law and all the bad effects of not
having a good police force and a
good sheriff, but it was state of
mind rather than a state Of facts
Such persons are not to be trusted
with the administration of the city,
nor are they to be trusted with the
control of large numbers Of votes.
If they had a good following they
would do harm in an effort to do
good, and they would be honest
about it, but wrong all the while
A few nights ago an officer was
asked by a couple on the street, to
go and arrest certain couple of
men for throwing eggs. The lady
had a splash of egg on her sleeve.
The officer asked the couple to sign
a complaint charging those certain
men with throwing the eggs and
nj ~
they would rather forget the splash
of egg than to go to court to testify
against the offenders. Those people
were annoyed but have no right to
complain. The arm of the law has
to operate by a certain safe rule. in
order not to accomplish harm thru
undue haste or ungrOunded COM
plants, and there is a certain point
past which the arm of the law need
not go. That point was reached at
the moment when the couple decided
that 1t was not worth the trouble.
They would rather go home and
wash the stain of egg off and forget
it than to see the offender taken into
court and have to go to testify.
In all law endorsements there is
certain line, past which it is not
worth while to go. A train should
not block a crossing for more than
five minutes, but if it blocks cross
ing for six minutes, the crew trying
to get it off in five, who wants to
prosecute the crew! The law is vio-
lated, but in an effort to be right |
and regular. A man with an appe- |
title for liquor finds himself willing |
to pay an exorbitant price for some
booze and take a nip at times in his
closet or cellar and to keep his
breath away from people as well as
he can, so he will not offend them
in any way or injure them at all.
Somebody has knowledge that he
must have had drink but no harm
seems to have been done and he is
the only one who is wronged or in
jured. The neighbors and the po-
lice may not feel it their duty to in
terfere. The case is on the border
line where 1t is not best or not worth
while to disturb the person who vio-

THE REASONS FOR
CONCENTRATION.

Blackfoot has reasons for con
graduation in addition to what W.
have heretofore enumerated regard
ing the harmony of opinions and the
fine cooperation witnessed in max
ing substantial improvements in the
water system and other things. i
has conducted a city election in {
quiet and orderly manner without
contest excepting the gOOd-naturet
differences that were thrashed Ou
at the nominating convention. II
appeared that all elements of the
town were present and all had theil
say or their chance to express theil
wishes, and when they walked out
of the meeting, a ticket had been
nominated, and it was their ticket
all of them, as shown by the fact
that the ticket was elected by al
most unanimous acceptance at the
polls. The greatest number of places
where a name was written in for
mayor was thirteen, and the great
est number for councilman was 38,
with admittedly good men of SIM
liar type voted for in both cases.
Before the convention there were
rumors of possible sly maneuvering
to gain advantage in placing tickets
before the public, but those rumors
proved groundless. Everybody seem,
ed to come out in the open in what
was done. After the time expired
for nominating a ticket, there were
rumors of an organized effort to have
a lot of voters go to the polls and
write in an opposition ticket as a
surprise at the last, and nothing
came of that. We do not refer to
men who are of the same type as the
candidates and who stand for prac-
tically the same things and there
fore represent only a difference of
taste as between good men, any OF
whom would have been acceptable to
the convention. What we wish peO-
pie to observe is that no clique re-
presenting some different set of ideas
from what were openly expressed in
convention, were found operating in
any sly or eleventh-hour manner to
take advantage of the others. Every
body seems to have dealt honestly in
the campaign and accepted the ex-
pressions of others in good faith and
stood by that faith. If anybody pro-
posed any eleventh-hour stuff it was
tabood, and that is the fine thing
about the Blackfoot people. After
they had had their hour and their
invitation to say who or what they
wanted, they made no effort to go be-
hind the curtain and do anything
under cover.
That spirit began to be uppermost

THE MEASURE OF
CURRENT OPINION.

A measure has been taken of eight
of the great questions now before
the American people, and a report of
what they think and believe, is now
published. The information was
gathered by what is known as the
National Economic League, of num-
Der Beacon Street, Boston. 1t was
obtained by sending out a question
aire to 1850 persons in different
states, the selections being made
with a view of having it as repre-
sentative as possible, including peO-
pie of all walks of life from labor
ers up and from university presi-
dents down. The purpose of the
league was to have an organization
thru which the measure of public
opinion could be taken quickly and
truly, at any time on any import

THE BOYS CAPTURED
DENVER

Judge Ben B. Lindsay is one of
Western Americas great outstanding
characters of the present generation
and will go down in history as a
man who made the world better for
having lived In it. 1t was he who
helped design the juvenile court and
get it into operation, and for a long
time he has been the juvenile judge
of Denver.
Judge Lindsay does a great many
perfectly original things, and he is
generally in harmony with human
nature and good clean honor, altho
he is not always considered reg
ular" and conventional. He is the
friend of youth and boyhood, and is
a big brother to the boys of Denver,
especially the boys of the poorer
classes. Last summer something
happened that furnishes food for
thought in a good many angles, in
Guiding the current agitation as to
dress. The point will be apparent
after reading the following:
Some boys went in swimming in
some kind of a reservoir within the
city limits, and policemen observing
that 1t was within sight of residences
and passing traffic, sought to arrest
the boys but they scampered away
at first and then sneaked back after
the officers had gone. OF course
the officers persevered and got them,
and took the whole squad into the
juvenile court for judge Lindsay to
deal with.
The judges sympathies were with
the boys. They had only lived out
their natural tendency, and what
