ANOTHER PAY

Recently at Pocatello a receiver
was appointed for one of the leading
candy factories in Idaho. The plant
and equipment is in fine condition
and modern in every respect and for
years the Yellowstone chocolates
with their purity and quality have
delighted the people of Idaho and
surrounding states. In fact outsid-
ers bought them more readily than
Idahoans and tourists in the Yellow
stone Park demanded these famous
candies.
Idahoans, however, with lack of
foresight, bought candy made in
other states and paid higher prices
for nationally advertised goods. The
plant at Pocatello had large pay
roll and the company contributed to
the support of all institutions of the

FAITH BUSTERS

1t should be more difficult than
it is for destroyers of faith to make
progress in the public mind. In
Idaho we have some of them-copy-
lists of the Rupert Hughes brand of
faith busters. Hughes recent ~
found what he discovered defects in
the life of George Washington. Some
other buser has taken delight in
revealing that Lincoln was a human
being. One after another our great
men are being gone over with the
fine-tooth comb of muckrakerism in
search of minor defects.
The public ought to be more con-
cerned with the monumental bene-
factions bestowed by these men than
in such petty side-lights of their pri-
vate lives as Hughes has detailed
with such ghoulish press agent avid
ity
If Hughes had lived with them un-
doubleday he would have attempted
to destroy their faith in this coun-
try and in humanity.
Faith can no more be separated |
from works than light from heat.

IDAHo's WATER

Until recently Idaho has not been
"as one" with relation to conserva-
ton of water Irrigation and wa
ter resources were more distinctive
ly south Idaho subjects. Although
north Idaho men, notably in the leg
islature, were most kindly disposed
to proposals from the south bearing
on those subjects, and generally fol-
lowed the lead Of representatives
from the irrigated belt they were
naturally not 50 agressively con-
cerned as with their own Industrial
problems.
Today Idaho is far more united on
the question of protection to its wa
ter. The north is menaced by pro-
jects to utilize it's lakes for outside
benefits; the south is confronted
with the sharp necessity for conser-
walton. The two sections shake
hands across the reaches of stern
necessity. How can results be best
obtained?
1t has been found that political
parties, always unanimous on such
matters, usually neglect them in the
course of campaigns in which Meth
er can gain advantage because of
their identical platform declarations.
1t is proposed, therefore, that this
important subject shall be given its
proper place through organized effort
of non-political nature. The Ida
no Irrigation congress and the Idaho
Reclamation association will likely
merge their strength and focus it up
On solution of the problems.
From the meeting of the irriga-
ton congress in Pocatello next
month should flow the best answer to
idaho's big water question.

AMERICAN LEGION
PEACE PROGRAM

World Peace the hope of every
true American, is to hold the center
OF the stage in the 1926 activities
of the Idaho Department of the Am
erican Legion, according to o. w.
Worthwine, State Commander, who
has already taken the stump and
started serious discussion of the Lee
gion's Peace Program. This pro-
gram is based upon four fundamental
points which the Legion take as
starting point. They are ID Rea-
sonable preparedness, CD A univer-
sal draft law to include all indus
tries as well as man power, go Ed
ucation in International good will,
and (4) Some form of international
tribunal for the adjudication of dis
putes between nations.
In his recent address before the
Idaho Editorial Association in con-
vention at Twin Falls, Mr.. Worth
wine emphasized the fact that this
program, by is very wording; antici-
pates discussion and indicates a de-
sire on the part of the Legionaires to
have every citizen aid in deciding
what Reasonable Preparedness"
shall be. He also said that the Lee
gion did not desire to ram down the
the threats of the American people
particular kind of world court, but
will definitely lead toward an agree
ment upon some form of interna-
tional tribunal" realizing that any
honorable plan must be far better
than war

Lincoln's Faith in

Never Lost Sight of Truth
in Declaration of
independence.

Lincoln invoked the Declaration of
Independence in his efforts to check
the spread of slavery, but just as
those who framed it uttered a maxim
intended for all time, when merely
seeking separation from Britain. so
Lincoln reiterated an eternal and
universal truth, and believed in it
as such, Judge Charles c. Simons
writes, in the Detroit News
Il had thought the Declaration CON
templated the progressive improve
ment in the condition of all men
everywhere, he said. And he knew
that it would outlive the death of
slavery, just as the trainers intend
ed it should outlive their successful
separation from Britain.
He closed his Springfield speech
with this stirring appeal. after read
ing the Declaration with the Doug

that the Declaration should thus be

at most, than an interesting memento
of the dead past?-thus shorn of it's
vitality and practical value, and left
without the germ or even the sug-
gestion of the individual rights of
man in it?'
Three years later, on Washingtons
birthday, Lincoln, President-elect
stood in Independence hall, Philadel-
phia, on his way to the inauguration
at Washington. Doesn't #, somehow
stir the blood and fire the Imagination
to think OF Lincoln on the spot where
the immortal Declaration was given
to the world? Il have often inquired
of myself" he said there, what great
principle or idea it was that kept
this Confederacy so long together. 1t
was not the mere matter of separa-
tion of the colonies from the mother
land, but that sentiment in the Dec
laration of Independence which gave
liberty not alone to the people of
this country, but hope to all the
world, for all future time
Faith Again Voiced
Speaking to the soldiers of an Ohio
regiment toward the close of the war,
Lincoln again voiced his faith in the
American principle 1T is in order

Old and NeW Customs

One of the characteristics of the old
fashioned valentine was the secrecy
with which it was invested. The
sender was most unwilling to hang his
heart upon his sleeve, for there were
altogether too many davis waiting for
a chance to pick at it. The valentine
was carefully wrapped and was intend
ed for the eyes of the recipient, and
nobody else.

St. Paul's Chapel

Colonial atmosphere has been scarce
in lower Broadway for many years,
but ST. Pauls chapel, the oldest ex-
listing church edifice in the island
has brought back some of the grace
and simplicity of the days of the Rev
olution. The famous place of worship
has been redecorated and renovated
to conform with the fashions prevail
ing in 1764-6, when st. Paul's was
built by Mclean.
When the British evacuated the city
after the surrender at Yorktown
nearly all of the decorations that indi-
Gated an English utilization were torn
out of the chapel.
Every royal emblem, every reminder
of the connection with Great Britain,
was removed with the exception of
the three-feathered badge of the heir
apparent of the English throne sur
mounting the pulpit. The heir appar-
ent then became George " in 1911.
Through some neglect his emblem was
left in its original place and for years
it was the subject of curious questions.
