Idea of Square Deal

When Roosevelt was. getting ready
for his African trip various sportsmen
friends, as matter of course, volun-
teered suggestions.
when you get to Nairobi," said one
"a Mr.. Blank, happy-go-lucky, care
less, prosperous chap, who had dived
Into the jungle and out again two
years before whatever you do, don't
hire guide by the name of W.
he is capable enough, but not trust
worthy"
The day Roosevelt reached Nairobl
he inquired about this particular
guide. He sent for the repudlated
guide and got his side Of the story,
says the Milwaukee Journal.
Just as Roosevelt had OWNED, 1t
was mountain made out Of q mole
bill. The damnlng word dropped by
Mr.. Blank without warrant had left
stark misery in Its wake for the guide.
After that he could get no employ
ment from any hunter who came to
kairobi
Roosevelt heard all this. BY way of
rejoinder he smashed his itinerary.
He rearranged 1t over night to include
a ten days expedition never before
dreamed of In that section Of the coun-
try. He hired the Nairobi guide to
take entire charge OF the trip.
When the expedition got back in
scheduled time Nairobi's housetops
heard from Roosevelt. He said:
'That guide is the most intelligent,
the most industrious, the most relia-
BILE and the most satisfactory guide l
have ever had"
The rehabilitation of the wounded
guide dated from this utterance and
this act of Roosevelt's. Again the
man began to be sought after by
hunters

lived for years on the proceeds of loot
and lined up a gang of the meanest-
looking, hardest cursing, Widest riding
and shooting hard-bolled customers in
her particular parts of the COW cOun-
try.
She used to call at wOmen's houses
on her way home from leading her
band on a robbery, and she would talk
feminine things with them, sing re-
ligious songs and tell stories to the
children.
Several stories are told of the way
Belle Starr met her death. The gen
orally accepted one is that she was
assasslnated by a man named Edgar
A. Watson, who had gone to Okla
homa in the sos and started farming
near her place 1t is told they became
enemies In a dispute over land rental.
Anyway, February 8, 1889, so the YER
sion has 1t, a double-barreled shotgun
did the work.

 After five years of effort, during which the American people have been whole -heartedly with us,' said Com mander Quinn, justice has at last been done the veterans. We do not stop to goat in triumph. for great work remains for the Legion to do work which makes the Legion the greatest constructive force for good in America today.
 We shall continue to care for and to guard the interests of our disabled buddies. We shall continue to pro- vide for the helpless children of our comrades who fell on tine field Of battle. We shall preach American ism and try in every way to sho" that our Slogan-the American Legion is an institution of ser>ice'--is not an idle boast"
 News that the senate had passed the bill over the Presidents veto reached Legion headquarters while the national executive committee was considering rehabilitation report dealing with better care for former service men.
 Cheers interrupted the report be- ing made by Watson B, Miller of Washington, national chairman Of the rehabilitation commission. Frank B.

JOHNSON RELEASES
 ALL HIS DELEGATES
Now He Is Expected to Withdraw
 Formally From Race

Washington, May %. Senator Hiram Johnson. of California. has re- leased the sixteen delegates instruct to tc vol2 for him for the republican presidential nomination at the CleNe- land convention.
 Thirtcen Of the delegates are Tn South Dakota. one in Nebraska and two in Illinois. The senator said Tn confirming Sprcss dispatches from South Dakota and Nebraska, that he had freed the delegates from any ob- ngation to support him. He would add nothing 10 this brief statement.
 Senator Johnson'S action did not surprise republican leaders here who had expected tine Californian 10 with draw from the republican race for some time in view Of the overwhelm- ing victories of President Coolidge in the primaries. The loss of his own state is said 10 have been a knockout blow to Senator Johnson's morale and his friends declare he probably Will take no part in the campaign.
 Name May Not Appear.
 The senator's action it is said, ITOpdglN VIII ANshit ilt iA'S NDA'l'~'~ ias om the Cleveland con
 edings. His name, re- 7#a.- ITS believe, will not even ae "re zt
 Fns. nson's course does not mean that he will throw his support to President Coolidge. Neither does it mean that he will authorize any of the released delegates 10 vote for Sen ator La Toilette. He is not suggesting what the delegates shall do. As far as he is personally concerned, he can rot support Coolidge. Neither will he give encourage cement to Senator La Toilette.
 The fact Is that Senator Johnson has no place to go. If third party movement should develop, with La Toilette as the standard bearer, John son could not join with it. He is as much opposed to the issues that arc sctuating the third party movement as he Is to Coolidge. In such a sitna' ton, his friends say, there will be nothing for Senator Johnson to do IT the campaign but to stay at home.

Don't Forget

Acrican people are daily becoming
more and more convinced that Prcsi-
dent Coolidge, permitted to carry out
his own ideas, would make notable
advances in solving divers problems
before this administration. But a re-
calcitrant congress has handcuffed
him.
There is one method to demon
s,rate that Americans like to see con-
gress at least give some consideration
to the wishes OF the American presi-
dent. That method is to Dust every
congressman and senator who balks
the presidents will. Election is no,

One Sure Way

There is one sure and certain way
to Gu, any tax levy without reducing
the revenue produced. That is to in
crease the assessed valuation OF prop
erty and nullify the levy reduction.
Canyon county commissioners and
The Nampa Free Press shout all day
and every night about the reduction
IN Canyon county taxes. 4 recent
compilation Of county taxes prepared
by accountants in the state auditors
office shows Canyon county taxes to
have increased 20 per cent. And that
doesn't include increases in assessed
valuations OF Canyon county proper
~.
Splendid record-not-tha; the
county administration is making when
economy and conservation OF tax
payers dollars are considered. Some
day when the public is called upon to
romance Canyon county highway
construction because OF the present,
penny wise and pound follish practice
OF maintainence. a keen realization
this fac, will come home TO every
body.
