WAR AND POLITICS

ARE H E L L — The Second Idaho infantry which

lias been recruited to war strength is now waiting in Boise and a political discussion may keep the state of Ida­ho f rom furnishing its quota of men which were called for by the govern­ment. From the moment that recruit­ing began the Boise paper which is the off icial organ of Governor Alexander began the hue and cry that there would be no politics in the selection of the officers for the regiment. The state executive appointed P. H . Crow lieutenant colonel to fill the vacancy i n that position caused by the fai lure of Colonel McCall to pass the physi­cal examination. At the request of the attorney general the supreme court issued a wr i t restraining the federal officer f rom swearing Crow into the federal service and f rom the gover­nor's organ went up the cry of "poli­tics." The appointment of Crow was not politics in spite of the fact that he at present held no commission in the regiment and had never in the past ranked higher than a first lieutenant i n mil i tary service. By the governor's appointment he would be placed above the three majors a l l of whom have seen many years of service and who according to the mil i tary usage should have been advanced when a vacancy above them occurred. The mouth­piece of the governor blamed the is­suance of the restraining order on the attorney general but i t later develop­ed that the three majors had asked for the order. Two of them are Democrats and there is every reason to believe that their statement is true when they say they asked for the or­der wi th the welfare of the men being their only motive. A l l would be per­fectly wil l ing to have a regular army officer detailed to fill the place in the regiment.

Major Lewis who is the senior and by the rule of mil i tary usage would be appointed to fill the office of lieuten­ant colonel saw service as an officer in the. Philippine war and has been an active captain and major in the Idaho national guard for more than ten years past. With the prospect of ac­tive service staring them in the face i t is very natural that the battalion commanders should not wish to place their own lives and those of the men under them in the hands of a man who has never seen active service in the field. From the facts in the case the appointment of Crow as lieutenant colonel could hardly be anything else than a purely political move on the part of the governor which makes the promise to keep politics out of the na­tional guard take its place along with the reduction of taxes and other phanttoms of the present executive regime. The boys of the regiment who are anxious to get to the border pay for the chips while the l i t t le political game goes merr i ly on.

out in the hil ls to the east to do some trapping. Here they robbed a number of sheep camps and were one day i n ­vited to dinner wi th some cattle men. They went down to the house and when they entered were disarmed and taken to Rexburg. There "Banty" or Smith as he gave his name was convicted and the boy was lef t off on parole. He asserts that he had tried many times to get away but the older man had re­fused to let him go and had watched him at a l l times. When the boy had firearms the older man always walked behind him.

One week ago Sunday night the man escaped f rom the Rexburg ja i l and his description was telephoned to Sheriff Mulliner here. The description tallied exactly wi th that of the Breckinridge murderer and the two had been traced to the vicinity of Rexburg. The local sheriff asked at once where the young partner of the escaped man was and he was told that he had gone to the home of his parents near Thornton. Officers arrested him there and he was brought to the county j a i l here and made his confession giving al l de­tails of the crime. The boy was born at Coltman, about nine miles north of

| Idaho Falls, and about a year ago ran iaway f rom home leaving his parents ! who s t i l l reside near Thornton. He I f e l l in wi th the viscious criminal and went to the bad as so many youngsters do who have thrown off the restric­tions of family ties. The older man who is responsible for the boy's down­fa l l , is thought to be one of the most hardened criminals in the country and the officers are sure that he is want­ed in several other western states. Ev­ery effort is being made to effect his capture and i t is thought that he w i l l be apprehended wi thin a short time. The Madison county officials had a description of the man but failed to connect the convicted sheep camp rob­ber wi th the murder in this county or

the ruf f ian tries to get Peg away f rom Dr. Lund Jr. Flip and the others, af ter a big hand to hand f ight wi th the ruffians, succeed In getting Peg away and on board the train for the next stop, after Peg had accused Dr. Lund, Jr., of kidnapping her while she was in one of her f i ts .

In the rescue Dr. Lund, Jr., is left behind wi th the ruffians, who hide him in a box car. The thug sent by Mrs. Lund follows the circus and Peg.

In the box car Dr. Lund, Jr., succeeds in getting loose. He then catche s the circus train as i t passes the box car he is in by jumping f rom the door on the moving train. Safely in the same train wi th Peg, and knowing that everyone thinks him guilty after Peg's insane accusation, he keeps under cov­er by hiding behind some baggage.

Mrs. Lund's ru f f i an succeeds i . i boarding the circus train as i t leaves the freight yards, in another attempt to get Peg, who has regained consci ­ousness, but l a unable to remember anything that has happened. Flip, fearful fo rher safety, stays close wi th her, not allowing her out of his sight. The ruff ian , seeing this, and playing for time sneaks through the train. Coming to the cage containing the animals, he fiendishly hits upon th? idea of turning the animals loose in the train, thereby causing a panic and affording him an opportunity of getting Peg In the excitement. Watching his chance, he sneaks to the animal car and loosening the locks, hides; while the wild animals make their death dash through the cars as the episode closes. See it at the Orpheum tonight.

JUSTICE FOR THE

FAMILIES— Congress ought not to haggle over

the question of taking care of those dependent on volunteers. Certainly it ought not to be necessary for a man to serve his country at the cost of actual privation to those he leaves behind. Provisions for dependents of the men who go to the f ront Is not charity, i t is justice. For the government to refuse to deal f a i r l y at such a time would be a national humiliation.

SECRET SESSION PLANNED.

Royce has arrived ahead of him, but while Royce is engaged in a hand-to-hand combat with a young Indian, Freneau bears Gloria to her father and is hailed as her rescuer, Gloria having been unconscious when Royce really saved her. Upon the return of the Staffords to New York, Freneau continues his attentions to Gloria, re­sulting in their engagement, while Royce finds himself a silent witness of their happiness. Later Freneau mysteriously disappears, and Gloria becomes suspicious that Royce has had something to do wi th the vanish­ing of his r ival . Mystery piles upon mystery as the plot develops and Gloria finds i t wonderfully fascinating work to unravel one complication after another. How she eventually succeeds in solving the riddle, how she finds what really happened to Freneau and determines which man of the two is really worthy of her heart and hand, hold one spellbound to the very end of "Gloria's Romance," which requires twenty feature chapters for the telling. A t the American today and tomorrow.
