The two knights of old met face t,
face beneath a great shield. The on,
said the shield was gold; the Other
said it was a shield of silver. The
honor of each was challenged and the
knights fought till death; each fight
ing for what he thought was right
I but as they fell each was projected
! from underneath the shield and so as
he turned his eyes he beheld that the
side of the shield upon which his
antagonist had gazed was the color
that the antagonist had said. Both
were right and both had died i'm fool
ish combat because they did not see
the object over which they fought
from the same point of view.
For years north and south Idaho
have been apart. They have not I'M
derstood each other at all times; they
have not been spared suspicion and
jealousies; there has been lack of I'M
derstanding and the underlying rea-
son for it all is because they were not
able to see a common problem from
the same point of view. These
splendid people who have laid the
foundation of civilization in the
Gra2geville country are the Same peo-
pie who have builded the southern
part of our great state. They have
made their sacrifices; they have done
heroic work: they have builded
splendidly and well, and when they
have found it impossible to agree it
has been because the people of the
south were not acquainted with the
of the north, and because
the people of the north did not know
the burdens that the people of the
south were asked to bear.
