DROP THE HERALD,

One OF the matters awaiting attention
from the legislature of Idaho now in ses-
sion is the location of the State Agricul-
tural College. Moscow, Weser and Idaho
Falls are each seeking the institution. We
would urge placing it at the Falls for the
following reasons: First, Idaho Falls is
the centre of the most extensive available
farming region in the state second, it is
surrounded by the most -stupendous sys-
tenn OF irrigating canals in the world
third, the experiments conducted there
will be of the greatest good to the greatest
number of inhabitants of the state. since
they will determine the possibilities and
limitations of the arid region; fourth, it is
central in location.-Salt Lake Herald
The above will call attention of
the people to the manner in which
the Herald lndulges in q series of
suggestions to our state legislature
regarding the location of the Agri-
cultural College, and advocates the
claims of Idaho Falls with a zeal
only exceeded by its ignorance of
true conditions. This is not at all
remarkable, however as it is gener-
ally conducted on similar lines in all
other respects. But the principle of
interfering in the local issues of other
communities to their material injury,
if done gratuitously is very despisa-
bic, and if the people of Idaho Falls
paid for the notice they manifested
very poor judgment IN investing their
money. We would suggest to the
good people of Washington county
that hereafter the Herald, the small
est big paper in the west, should
depend on other localities for support
where its "disinterested opinions and
welghty influence" will be indoors ed
and appreciated better than by. such
as know that every claim made by it
as above is positively untrue, without
exception.

is "debts, debts, debts" and "can't
pay" everywhere. Accounts are due,
statements are coming in asking for
settlement Here are accounts twice
over to pay everything, but where is
the money? Whom can you collect
few dollars from? There's the
butcher, the baker, the blacksmith
no, bills have been sent them; they
haven't paid, but they are honest, and
you know they would have settled
ere this if they could; you can't ex-
pect anything of them. What is to
be done? Is it any wonder that men
grow despondent-that one sits and
thinks and thinks and worries and
ponders and thinks until his head
aches and ones very brain seems
bursting? Is it any wonder that gray
hairs are peeping forth on the young
mans head at these periods when
the "times are out of joint?" And
besides all these bills which cannot
be met promptly, there's the wife
and babies to be clothed and fed. Is
it any wonder that mans soul some
times pals at the disheartening will
derness before him, that fits of gloom
almost crush ambition and energy
from his life? And then when he
thinks he can trace all this agony and
mental torture he is enduring directly
to the deliberate legislation by and
for the pampered classes and adverse
to the common country, can he be
blamed for grinding his teeth and
wishing he had them all by the
throats? When one considers that
through these "out of joint condi-
tons there are many thousands of
men in the financial and mental state
above stated, it is not hard to believe
that a mine slumbers in this country
which will bear no more tampering
with through bad legislation.

do we think it would be a wise move
on the part of the state to locate the

here is not conducive to health, and
as it would not do for the agricul
tural College, why should it do fol-
the home? They surely don't want
the kids to all die off? A purel
climate and healthier atmosphere
should be sought the same as for the
college. We suggest that the sharp,
crisp air and altitude of Idaho Falls

full and health-giving environments OF
Boise, or the pleasant conditions that
permeate the atmosphere Of Moscow.
