Dramatic Day OF Career

malicious scandal concerning him
self and the then famous Mul~
ligan letters
"To appreciate the Importance
of the event, it must be remem-
bered that Blaine was the best
loved and most hated man in
public life. At the time he was
the popular candidate for the Re-
publican Presidential nomination
and the convention was just ten
days of.
"The Democrats we're in power
for the first time since the Civil
War and they were trying to, pill
lory Blaine. Letters Blaine had
written to friend had been
stolen by a man named Mulligan
and the scandal mongers hae
woven a dirty tale about them tc
connect Blaine with the crooked
ness of the Pacific railroae{
Those letters played "a leading
part in an investigation of the
railroads, which was III fact an
investigation of Blaine's private
affairs. =.
an some way Blaine regained
possession of the letters and de-
fed the power of the Judiciary
committee and the House to force
him to produce them
+, "Driven to the wall, Blaine
announced on Saturday that on
Monday, June 5, 1876, he would
rise to question of personal
privilege. It had the effect of a
full-page advertisement in the
papers.
"Blaine was the storm center
of politics. Everybody who
could crowd in came to see the
fur fly. Galleries were packed

preme Court and Cabinet men,

earnings during 1922 do not ION
the one hand warrant pessimism,

any radical reduction in the total
charges to the public" for trans

made TO the Interstate Commerce
Commission by M. o. Lorenz, di-
rector of it's statistical bureaus.
Out of total of $717,O00,OO0,
which the railroads received IN
l522 above their expenditures for
operations about $669,0O0,0OO must
be deduced for interest, rents and
other fixed charges, Mr.. Lorenz
said, which showed that the "roads
did not earn enough in 1922" to
meet the margin above fixed
charges obviously necessary in any
business.

VALUABLE MAN
LEAVES PAYETTE

1t is with considerable regret that
we are called upon to publish the fact
that Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Davis are to
leave Payette, but business condi-
tions seem to call Mr.. Davis to a new
field of labor. He is now connected
with the Carpenter Paper Co., and
will make his headquarters at Boise,
his business however will bring him
which will give us the pleasure of
seeing him occasionally.
Mr. Davis since coming to Payette
two and one-half years ago has taken
a most active part in public affairs,
both social and business, and during
that time has installed into the peo-
pie of Payette a more social and
friendly feeling, he has brought the
business men in all lines, and the
farming community closer together,
Jim" is simply chuck full of opti-
mism and a good feeler, and has the
faculty of spreading it around, he is
also a man of excellent executive
ability and has made good use of it
in public way since coming to Pay
ette, he has served successfully as
president of the Payette Chamber of
Commerce, district trustee of tn XII
wants Club, secretary of the Payette
Elk's Club, and executive secretary
and manager for the Dependable
Grocers Association, all of the above
positions he was compelled to re-
sign in preparing to leave Payette.
He was given a farewell reception
by the Elk's Club on Monday evening,
and by the Kiwanis Club Tuesday.
and farewell party to Mrs. Davis by
the wives of the Elk's at her home on
Monday evening.
While Mr.. Davis has not entirely
severed himself from the people of
Payette he will surely be missed in
every day activities among us
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis and little
daughter left Wednesday morning,
going by auto. to Salt Lake. where
they will remain for two weeks. then
return to Payette and move to Boise.

IF THE SHOE FITS. WEAR 1T

1t might be well for some of our
Smart Aleck" motorists to consult
the traffic laws and find out who has
the right-of-way on the street cross
ings, with some of them, the pedes-
trfans must dodge, stay on the side
walk or be run over. They come
down the pavement like a bat out of
hell, blowing their horns like they
owned the whole town when the
chances are they haven't the first pay
ment made on their car. If the pedes-
trians are crossing the street at the
proper crossing place, they have the
right-of-way and it is up to the car
driver to slow down or do the dodg-
ing. Some of these days, big dam
age suit is liable to follow a fatal ac-
cident and bring some of the reckless
drivers to their proper senses.

friends in Payette who will extend to
them sympathy in the loss of their
dear little one that came to brighten
their home for few short months.

The 1928 Commencement of the
Payette Public Schools has come and
gone Once more the sentiment tof
education has been emphasized by
the throngs that have attended the
various activities of the week be-
ginning with the play, Clarence"
given by the Senior Expression Class
last Friday night. The Expression
work in the High School is by no
means the least important of the
courses given. To appear in public
on the stage, or in debate, or in
public speaking in easy and graceful
manner is an art mastered by too
few. The evidence given by these
young people in their plays and
that they are mastering
this art is a matter for congratu-
ton.
The Baccalaureate service on
Sunday night was especially pleasing.
The music, under the direction OF
Adams, was unusually
good. The solo by Lynn Parsons
and the duet by Frederick Shawhan
and Hollace Arment deserve special

at his best in the commencement
sermon full of timely suggestion and
advice.

cite as President Alfred H. Upham in
his addrss on Monday night. 1t was
an address that can not fail 70 set
in motion chains of thoughts in the
minds of young people that will en-
able and enrich their lives. Presi-
dent Upham is not an orator in the
sense that he makes the eagle
but, in plain, simple, con-
vincing style he drives home great
truths in such way that they "'get

great man for president of the Uni
