that can be raised. There is, however,
a broader aspect, which thoughtful and
progressive people can not afford to
ignore. The establishment of public
improvements at this time demon
strates the SUBSTANTIALLY of the COM
munity. 1t shows confidence in the
future outcome of the city and engen-
ders confidence. 1t serves notice on the
world that Caldwell is alive with the
SPIRIT of progress and determined to
keep in the front ranks of advance
ment. We know what distress and
demolition came to the whole country
in consequence of a lack of confidence
and can therefore clearly appreciate
the advantages of satisfied faith in
the permanence of human institutions.
An apparent lack of confidence in the
growth and substance of Caldwell will
necessarily operate against it, proper
tionably, as great as a lack of conf
dence in the whole country has operat-
ed against it during the past two years.
With this view. the whole question
resolves itself into one of conf
dence. Do the people of Caldwell
believe in Caldwell? Do they think
it is progressive and permanent
Do they think it is destined to become
a consequential and flourishing town ?
If not, they will probably refuse to
promote it's growth. If, on the other
hand, they belieye in Caldwell and are
prepared to back their>faith by works,
they will bond. We believe the broad
view is the better. We believe that
the best way on earth TO establish con-
fidence is to possess it. Caldwell can
not afford to hesitate and tremble al
this juncture. She must put her best
foot forward and show to the outside
world that moss is not indigenous t.
the backs of her citizens.

MANLY. AND GENEROUS.

The following was contained in let
ter written by G. S. LovELAND Of Pay
cite to MIR. A. E. GIBSON Of this city
the day following election: "We are
feeling good after the recent glorious
defeat and rejoice in the fact that we
have so many loyal friends in Canyon
county. When the smoke rolls away,
you will find us all in line with coats
off, shirt sleeves rolled up and standing
shoulder to shoulder to do our part in
building up and developing the county
we all dwell in. With congratulations
and best wishes" We understand that
the foregoing is not merely the indi-
vidual sentiment of Mr.. LovELAND,
but that it is the feeling of the better
Payette. 1t is broad, manly and gener-
ous-it is American People who
write that way have the principles OF
liberty and patriotism embalmed In
their hearts. 1t is the dominance of
such sentiment that has made this the
greatest and best nation on earth.
Who is there can read this letter from
the men of Payette without warming
towards them, without feeling that
they are broad gauge, manly men?
Caldwell, returns congratulations. Not
because Payette was victorious in the
county seat contest, but because the
men of Payette are victors in defeat.
They are conquerors of the passions
and prejudices which too often prevail
over reason and liberty. We congratu-
late Payette because her people have
been tried in defeat and disappoint-
ment and have not been found want
ing in those attributes Of humanity
which are at the very foundation OF
American civilization. We can all be
saints in prosperity, but it takes men
to be philosophers in adversely.

8HAkE:

For considerable time rivalry has
existed between Caldwell and Nampa
which, to put it mildly. has been rather
piquant. Rivalry is a splendid thing
so long as it. aims to surpass in ad-
Yancement but when it runs purely to
a1tagonisms it simply operates as a
sp-ag, having no progressive force
whatever. That's the philosophy of it
and that is much the kind of rivalry
which heretofore has existed between
those towns. Now, as people endowed
with an average amount of common
sense, it seems that it must occur to
most of us that knocking shingles off
Nampa roofs lays no foundations in
Caldwell and tearing pickets off Cald-
well fences builds no enclosures in
Nampa. There is nothing in the tear
ing down process. But, on the other
hand, there is everything in building
up. So, we say, let antagonisms cease
and rivalry take its legitimate and pro-
gressive course. Let us broaden our
vision little and take in the whole of
Canyon county, at least. Prosperity
cannot come to one locality without
shedding its beneficent rays on every
other. The climate, soil and water are
everywhere of the same quality. It is
only a matter of little while before
all the unoccupied space will be filed.
What great difference does il make
whether our space be filed today or
tomorrow Let us all join hands and
hearts for the upbuilding and develop
ment Of Canyon county. If Nampa
moves little this year, be generous
enough to rejoice in her good fortune.
Caldwell's turn must soon come and so

folly of local strifes and contentious
and be ~ one people. Let us cease at
home and abroad to think harshly of
each other and let US refrain from say
ing unkind and ungenerous things Of

GROWING.

we very muC0 OOuUV Iuo WAouOu Va
Growing over election results. 1t is
relic of barbarism that ought to be rel
egated. Growing over prize fight or
a game of modern foot ball may be all
right, but growing over elections has
very little to recommend it to the re-
fined intelligence of the nineteeth GEN.
fury. A general election goes right to
the root of civil government. 1t in
wolves the peace and perpetuity of the
nation. 1t is matter of incalculable
Importance and should appeal to the
calm judgment and serious considera-
tions of men. Some other vehicle than
ROSTERS and vulgar bantering should
be employed to give expression to the
satisfaction attending a political vic
tory. The time seems to haye come
when men are more concerned over the
splendor of the growing than the sub
stance of the result and have a greater
dread of the exultati0n of victory than
the consequence of defeat. In political
contests, men should not be made to
feel that defeat is morally discredita-
BILE (; they should not be Inundated or
aggravated by coarse display and ridi-
cule. Patriotism is not at healthful
elevation when a barn yard fowl Is Sc
lected as its noblest emblem. This
growing business does harm all along
the line. 1t arouses spirit of antag-
onism and revenge. 1t destroys calm
investigation-into the causes Of defeat
and victory and caters to nothing but
brutal passions. Victory does not al
ways prove the business of cause nor
does defeat establish error. After all
it is only q matter of majority and the
voice. Of the people is not always the
voice of GOD.. We believe that the
time to study political issues is imme-
diately following and not Immediately
preceding elections. After the election,
cause and effect are presented in one
view and q normal mind is compare
lively free from excitement and prof
udice. 1t is prominently the time
when nothing should be done to aggra-
yate the passions or deter calm reflec-
ton. 1t is a time for resting and
thinking. There is nothing more mad
dening than the exultation Of vic
tory. 1t harrows up the meanness in
mems hearts and leaves sores which
can not be healed in q generation. 1t
destroys the inclination to think and
reflect nationally and shuts off every
impulse save burning hope for re-
venge. Conceptions of right and wrong
are blunted or utterly disregarded and
In exact inverse ratio to the Growing
,of the victorious is the madness and
determination of the defeated. There
fore, we believe that Growing should be
banished. We believe it only arouses
the brute in men and ought to take
it, place in history along side Of old
time triumphal carousals and savage
war dances.

and work as representative of the
people of the Eighth congressional
district of Tennessee will compare
favorably with that of the most

has won favorable mention from
Democratic leaders and papers all
over the United States. He Sc
cured the passage of the "green
goods" bill to prevent the use of
the mails for swindling purposes,
He made a national reputation
fighting Reed and the infamous
force bill in the 51st congress,
His fight against the iniquitous
"pension steal" was so persistent
and successful that he gained the
hatred of pension robbers all over
the country. He succeeded in
having the corrupt postmaster Of
the Federal House of Representa-
tives investigated, convicted and

Mr.. Enloe is not only a recog.
nized authority In the house on all
pension questions, but the admin
tration relies on him to sustain in
debate in the house all efforts for
pension reform. He has been
fighting and working all the time
for tariff reform and the income
tax. He il was who introduced a
graduated income tax bill in the
previous congress and again in
this one, striving to have the bnr-
den of taxation placed upon those
were most able to pay it. In this
session Mr.. Enloe sturdily oppos.
ed the move to strike down silver.
He voted against its demonitiza-
ton. He fought the repeal OF the
purchasing clause of the Sherman
act as best he could. He then
predicted it would cause the issue
of more bonds which has come to
pass. Mr.. EnlOe is working tt
have the silver now held by the
treasury coined and put into cir
culation. He is also steadily after
fraudulent pensioners and striving
to have them all cut off. He now
respectfully asks the voters o
this district to endorse his worl
and record by re-electing him t
the next congress.
He confidently submits hi
claims to the people of his distric
believing his record is sufficien
for him to rely on, and that by
good majority they will endors
his faithful and effective services.
