perience in connection with our ely
election which takes place next week.
Being very much interested in the
selection of proper officers, induced one
OF the ladies of my family to vote at the
primary, but upon my suggestion that
she should 60 down and register so as to
be able to vote at the main election, she
declined emphatically, and my inclina-
tons to further urge my wife and sister,
born OF my strong interest in election,
received an absolute quietns, when l
went to the registration office to receive
my own certificate, and saw the line 81
applicants with whom they would have
to take their turn
Mr.. Wilder's statement was criticised
by enthusiastic sutfragists; bat the fact
that the people OF Kansas, after expert
meniing with municipal suffrage Tor
women for years, voted down by a ma-
iority OF nearly 5000 proposition TO
give them full suffrage, indicates that
Mr.. Willer's view is that OF the majority
OF Kansas citizens. No suh'rdgis, has yet
explained why it is that, ii municipal
sa.grage for women has been y success in
Kansas which they claim it to have
been, the state should have 80 emphat-
ically refused to extend the suffrage
further.

We endorse W. W. Woods, W. f. Smith
and David l.. Evans as presidential
electors, We endorse the action of Sel-
ator Fred L. Dubois as the leader of tie
Idaho delegation in renouncing the ma.
tional republican convention at St
Louis, aud commend to the people of
the state and nation that splendid dis
play of loyalty to principle and deVo.
ton to his constituents, AS federal
senator his record is characterized by
answering adherence to the material
interests of the state, to advance which
he has ever labored and fought. Graft
tude as we'll as self interest of the PEG
pie of the state demand his continued
senatorial services, and We pledge our
selves to use all honorable means to Sc
sure his re election to the United STATE S
senate by the next state leg stature.
I'VE heartily commend Congressman
Edgar Wilson for his splendid services
to the state OF Idaho, and endorse his
loyalty to the interests of the people in
his patriotic and unequivocal stand for
the free ana unlimited coinage OF silver.
We are in favor of amending the
revenue laws of the state SO as to pre-
vent the independent taxation of canals
that have been constructed by the
farmers of the state for the purpose of
supplying water TO their respective
farms and not for the sale of water. and
we believe that it should be the policy
Of the taxing power to include the said
lands in listing the improvements of
the several farms.
We favor the adoption of the pro
posed amendments to the constitution
Of the state providing for the extention
the right of suffrage to women; for the
separation of offices of county school
superintendent and probate Judge, and
for the substitution of states attorney
in each county for district attorney
for each judicial district.
We favor such revision of the laws
by constitutional amendment or other
p'oper legis alton, as will reduce the
salaries Of and fees OF county officers
when the same are excessive under our
present system, and We particularly
pledge our candidates for the legisla-
ture 10 vote for reduction of the ex
esssive mileage now paid to sheriffs'

Reports have been circulated to the
effect that delegates 10 the straight Re
publican convention recently held here
were rendered free transportation while
the silver men were obliged to pay. The
report was absurd; but it is neyerthe
less proper to say that it WAS entirely
false. The Statesman has the authority
Of General Passenger Agent Burnley Of
the Union Pacific to state that the com
pany has made TO Discrimination for OF

Delegates who attended the gold bug
convention have stated to us that tAeiI
transportation to Boise and return cost
them nothing. As the general passenger
agent says that the railroad did not iur
nish free tickets, it is evident thai

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have a
remarkable efficacy in curing diseases
arising from al improvisned con-

pairment of the nervous system, such
as anaemia, general muscular weak
ness, dizziness, los of memory, loco

all forms of female weakness. In the
case of men they effect radical cure
in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwOrk or excuses of any
nature. These pills are not purga-

life-giving properties, and nothing
that could injure the most delicate
system. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are

From the Shelburne (Canada) Economist
The completion of the local tele-
phone service between Shelburne and
Mornings Mills by Messrs. John Met
calfe and w. II. Marlett, referred to
in these columns recently, was the
means of bringing to the notice of a
reporter of the Economist the fact of
the remarkable restoration to health
some time ago of Mr.. Metcalfe, the
chief promoter of the line. For about
two years Mr.. Metcalfe was terrible
sufferer from sciatica, and unable to
work. While not altogether bedfast,
he was so badly crippled that his
bent form, as he occasionally hobbled
about the streets of Mornings Mills,
excited universal sympathy. The
trouble was in one of his hips and he
could not stand or walk erect. His
familiar attitude, as the residents

What Maine Has Done.

The United States Department of Agricul-
ture has issued report in which the crops
OF the different States for 1895 are given
This shows that Maine raised during the
last year 596,9o4 bushels of corn on 1922
acres, the total value of the product being
1922, 1913; S3,SOS bushels of wheat on 1855
acres of land, the money value of the wheat
being S68, 723; ,551 ,4S4 bushels of oats, worth
81 1897 800, on 1873, Al acres of land; 1928
bushels of rye, worth SIG, 1863, on 1908 acres /;
46S .467 bushels of barley, worth 1912, 4O3 on
1867 acres 907 ,908 bushels of buck " heat,
worth 1922 ,23S, on 23,780 acres OF land 10, :
139,Oo9 bushels of potatoes, worth So AIT ,290,
on 62 ,2O3 acres of land and 1.127 ,031 tons of
hay, worth $1O,909,66 on l, 1O4 1882 acres.
By the tables given Maine leads the New
England States in the production of oats
and hay and only Vermont exceeds her IN
the production of barley, the Green Noun
tain State raising 619 ITS bushels of that grain
last year on an area of 1868 acres. making
the total value of the crop 1921 1896. Yer
being the second of the New England States,
with 5,134 052 bushels, worth 81, 1874, 1854 on
80, 1888 acres. In hay Vermont also was Sec
ond with a total tonnage of 1893 ,959, worth
$10,950,69S on 935, 476 acres. Although the
hay crop of Massachusetts was only GAS, 1888
tons on 535 ,4S0 acres the total value of the
product exceeded the value of the Maine hay
crop by nearly million dollars, Massachu-
setts hay being valued as whole at $11,
372, 165 But the higher value of products
accounts for the high figure placed also on
other agricultural products raised in the old
Bay State.

that he is qualified to successfully prac-

A nation, made up of civilized and en-
lightened people, who have the power to
legislate for themselves in all State and
national affairs, will not voluntarily de-
stroy one form of government for the ex-
press purpose of trying in its stead some
thing which has nothing to recommend it
except its novelty.
1t is too much to ask of the people of
this country, that they radically change
the demands of few men, whose prim-
airy object is self aggrandizement. And
it makes no difference to the intelligent,
honest voter, whether these demands come
from Wall street or from the Populist
leaders. In this country, the selfish greed
of the few, be they rich or poor, must
