CRITrcrs1NG the Coxey movement is
like criticising disease. OF course the
disease is ridiculous and all that, but
what is it that caused it? Coxey and his
thousands of marching followers may all
be fools but what state of affairs is re-
sponsible for the fools? Blind denun-
citation without sober sensible investiga-
ton of the causes is just as idiotic as the
Coxey movement itself.

Band Concert at Garfield Park-Cantata at
First Presbyterian Church.
The summer Sunday concert season was
opened yesterday by Marshall's military
band at Garfield park. There was a large
number of people present to greet the
band at the opening concert The pro-
gramme consisted of ten excellent seIec-
tions. Many new pieces have been
learned by the band. Its playing is as
cellent reputation as musical organiza-
ton of which Topeka people are SO
proud. The park looks clean and the
grass is growing nicely.
While the band was playing many
rowed boats on Soldier creek. Two
young men in a boat. however, lost their
balance and got wetting.

MANY of the opponents of woman suf-
frage do not realize how the movement
is progressing all over the world In
England, Scotland and Wales women
vote for school officers In France the
women teachers elect women member
of all boards of education. In Sweden,
women vote for all elective offices except
req resentatives; also Indirectly for the
upper house of the legislature. In Nor
way, women have school suffrage. In
Ireland, they vote for harbor boards, poor
law guardians, and in Belfast for NUM-
cipal officers. In Russia, women house
holders vote on all elective Offices and on
all local matters. In Finland, for all
elective offices. In Austria Hungary,
by proxy for all elective Offices. In
Croatia and Dalmatia, they do so at local
elections in person. In Italy, widows
vote for municipal officers. In New Zea-
land, women vote for all elective officers.

THEY CAN NOT AFFORD IT

At four O'Clock pm. on the
9th day of last August there was
probably not man in Idaho who
thought that Willis Sweet would
ever have the eArontery to ask
state legislator to support him for
the United States Senate. It
will be remembered that the theo-
ry of Mr.. Sweets scheme to
nominate a senator in party con-
vention was based on the utter
incompetency of Idaho legislators
to well and faithfully discharge
their obligations. Every man
who stood in advocacy Of con-
vention nomination assumed or
pointedly expressed his contempt
of Idaho legislatures. Even
Frank Fem experienced a glow
of reflex virtue while his voluble
tongue rolled in denunciation of
legislative vices and frailities.
Mr.. Sweets scheme was not
only libel on the character of
past legislatures but direct i'm
parchment of the intelligence and
integrity of the body to which he
now appeals. No amount of
clubbing or protestation can
change the fact that the only
reason assigned for convention
nomination was the uniformally
disreputable character of the men
who are selected by the people
as their legal representatives.
1t remains to be seen whether or
not the recently elected legisla-
tors are the kind of men to swal-
low that imputation and PROSTATE
themselves before the man who
openly and defiantly blackened
their characters before he knew
their names. 1.-THE Legislators do
not resent that wholesale and in
discriminate insult, they may be
considered as meriting the COM
mentary it affords, but the Re-
publicans of Idaho ought not to
permit the slur upon their intelli-
gence to pass unchallenged.
When Mr.. Sweets scheme was

ADVICE.

Edgar Wilson has been duly
elected to represent the people of
Idaho in the national house of
representatives. His record is
all to be made and every loyal
citizen sincerely hopes it will be
alike honorable to himself, cred
table and profitable to his consti-
tuency. Mr.. Wilson has not
inspired the people with any ex-
travagant notions Of his ability
and about all that is accounted to
him is level head and robust
constitution. But Mr.. Wilson
has in him the making of a first
class representative. A level
head is the essential prerequisite
to ripe craftsmanship. Your
orator and your intriguer don't
count for much in the national

$3.50 Per An7l1L71a.

Now THAT the,people of Cald-
well have expressed themselves
emphatically for light and water
works, let the city council pro-
coed at once to the final con-
summation. Let us have the
arcs and incandescents just as
soon as possible. Every man in
town is in culver of anxiety to
see Caldwell by electricity. The
fellow with the bottled moon
light must take a back seat.
We don't know just how this
thing is going to come out, but
if any town on the continent can
make success of a public enter
prise, Caldwell can. Push the
good work and let us hear the
hum of the dynamo instanter.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-11-24

the part of hucksters to deliver
the goods. That is a good sign.
Nothing is more encouraging than
the growing disposition of voters
to refuse to be handeled like
chattles. In early days, it used
to be an axiom on the frontier
that a Colt revolver obliterated
all physical inequalities between
man and man, and men made it
a business to cultivate the revol-
yer. At much earlier time
the fathers ordained that the
ballot should remove all political
inequalities, but men have not
been so appreciative of this
weapon; they have not cherished
and priced it as they should have
done; they have not studied its
virtue nor cultivated a proper use
of its powers, but they are be-
ginning to do it and the time is at
hand when the man who offers to
negotiate my vote except his
own will be sneered 1t. Even
the party lash is losing its sting
and the boss who attempts to
crack the whip is laying up grief
for future delectation. All of
which is eminently right. 1t
means the downfall of the politi-
cal machine and the end of whole
sale trading and swapping; it
means the ushering in of an era
when every citizen will go to the
polls and quietly but firmly vote
his conscientious convictions.
Politicians must begin to revise
their code; schemes and tricks
are about played out. 1t will
take facts and argument to win
hereafter.

first spring-we call it Sweets
scheme because he was to be the
sole benefciary-when it was
first sprung, THE TRIBUNE stood
for the integrity, intelligence and
constitutional rights of the state
legislature. For doing so, we
were abused by the Republican
machine from one end of the state
to the other. We were accused
of being bought; we were charg-
ed with infdelity and accounted a
crank, but the people of Idaho
were with THE TRIBUNE and to-
day there isn't political hack in
the state so poor as to honor the
illfated senatorial resolution.
Everybody now says it was a
blunder and the men who advo-
Gated it are clamoring for the
credit of its defeat. Today,
THE TRIBUNE stands for the in
telligence and manhood of the
state legislators, and we say they
can not afford to honor a man
who laid aside important public
duties, at critical juncture, and
travelled six thousand miles to
force through a scheme which
was based on the discredit of,
and designed to dishonor, the
Idaho Legislature.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-11-24

councils these days. Declama-
ton is a back number and trick
cry is falling into disrepute.
The man who carries weight and
accomplishes results is he with a
good digestion, active disposition
and a level, we'll balanced un-
derstanding. Mr.. Wilson will
learn when he takes his seat in
congress that he has become a
part of about the most intensely
practical body in this world; and
he will discover that an ounce of
hard commonsense will serve him
better than all the theories and
PHILOSOPHERS of the academies.
If Mr.. Wilson will accept and act
on few words of good advice.
we predict that he will come out
of congress with clear, honor
able and creditable record. He
must never lose sight of the fact
he was elected by the people of
Idaho, and for the purpose
of devoting himself loyalty and
indefatigably to their inter-
ests. At his own desire, he
has been temporarily removed
from the local politics of this state
and elevated to national promi-
nence. He must not forget, nor
abuse the dignity of his station by
following in the footsteps Of some
of his predecessors and subordi-
mating his official duties to the
business of political fence making
at home. He need have no ap-
prehension that his merit will pass
unnoticed or his labors 60 unre-
Quilted. The only way he can
recommend himself to the contin-
ued favor of those who elected
him is by faithfully and disinter-
estedly adhering to the obligations
of his official oath. The people
of Idaho can manage their local
political affairs without the aid or
interference of national legisla-
tors, and they are so Thoroughly
alive to their own ability that
anything which has the appear
ance of disparagement is received
coldly and some times elected
bodily. Mr.. Wilson should
keep this in mind and then he
should determine to stick closely
to the legitimate concerns Of his
office and when he comes home
to visit his patron state, the people
will give him an ovation such as
none but honest, high-minded
men ever received.

A FRAGMENT.

If you had been in Washington
D. c. last August about the fifth
or sixth, you might have heard a
conversation similar to the follow
ing:
Mr.. Street, Good morning,
Senator, l start for Idaho today
to push that resolution through
the convention.
Senator Shonf-"All right,
Mr.. Sweet, and if you succeed
you will of couse be named as
my successor and l will be out of
the field.
Mr.. Street, Yes, that's it
Senator, but if l fail then you
may understand that l am out of
it,. -
Senator SAoub-'tVery well.
If you succeed, l cheerfully pull
out, but if you fail, then I shall
enter, if it seems to meet the
wishes of the people,
Mr.. Sweet *An right, SEN
ator, we thoroughly understand
each other, but | shall not fail. -
Senator ShoaP-"I am not so
certain about that. l don't take
very kindly to this new tangled
business, but do the best you can
and pull out cheerfully if you fail
to carry the convention.
Mr.. Swect-s'I'l do that
sure. Goodbye Senator.
Senator Sho9p-* Goodbye
Willis. Remember me kindly to
the people of Idaho. l only
wish you would stay here and
help us stave of this attack on the
lead industry. Goodbye VIII
lis.
Mr.. Street every sorry
Senator, very sorry, but business
is business. (Aside) Lead be
hanged.
And Mr.. Sweet took the morn
ing train. You know what the
sequel to that conversation was.

CALDWELL rs THE 0lTY.

People all over Idaho and adj
iacent states and territories are
talking about Caldwell and the
wonderful energy and enterprise
of her people. That electric
light and water plant is going to
give this city a fame that will
reach from one end of the coun-
try to the other. Even staid,
innocuous, old Boise feels a pang
of envy and solicitude. She be-
gins to realize that her rival is
outstripping her in the race of
progress and that she must hump
herself or sink into desuetude as
Grover might remark. Cald-
well is on the crest of the wave
with her sails swelling in the
breeze, fairly launched on a voy-
age of progress and prosperity
and bound to get there. Come
to think Of it, there doesn t seem
to be any occasion for trying to
keep up the vitality of surround
ing towns and it s great waste
of energy to continue the hope
less struggle. Boise may linger
along on the strength of traditions,
yet little while, but she can't
hope to occupy anything more
than a second or third rate place in
the commercial, social and politi-
cal world. Just as soon as Cald-
well gets her electric lights and
water works to going, suburban
villages may as we'll nail up
their windows and turn their in
corporate limits into calf pastures.

ACCORDING to reports coming
from numerous parts Of the state,
there is strong popular senti-
ment favorable to the election OF
Senator Shoup as his own sue
cessor. We believe that in this
county the sentiment is divided
among Shoup, Hepburn and
Sweet. Judge Hepburn is re-
garded by many as the ablest
man in Idaho, but the failure to
carry any of the Legislative ticket
in his own county initiates against
his chances. Sweets eloquence
and pleasing address impressed
many favorably and he has quite
a following. The thing in favor
of Shoup is his substantial and
unimpeachable character, besides
he is recognized as distinctively
Idaho man. His interests have
been wrapped up in the welfare
of this state and these people for
years and years. His honorable
and generous nature has endeared
him alike to all classes and there
is not in Idaho another man pos
sessing so many warm personal
friends and supporters as Senator
Shoup. If the election falls to
any southern or central Idaho
man, it will be Senator Shoup, if
to any northern man it ought to
be Judge Hepburn.
