A complete success was the institute
held on the above dates. 1t WAS the
drst ever held in Bingham county.
The farmers Of southeastern Idaho
have not, - yet, realized the import
ance Of such . move. Nothing could
bc more beneficial 10 the farmers Of
Idaho than to take up scientific farming
10 all its branches, that they may be
able 70 cope With our eastern brothers
10 the older states.
Removed ~ we are, 20 far from mar
ket, We msst begin TO utilize our farm
products 10 the best advantage. Many
farmers labor under the impression that
there is no skill or science In farming,
which 10 great mistake. One would
have been surprised had they attended
the institute and heard the able lec-
lures from the professors and the COM
mittee on program. This goes 10 show
that II We keep pace with the age In
which We live the farmer, Of all others,
must become m investigator and reader
In diversified farming II they expect 70
make the farm . source Of pleasure As
well - pront, and reap the best results.
No farmer can afford 70 miss the leo

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

Senator Stewards proposition to
make a plurality of votes in a joint ses-
sion of legislature sufficient for the
choice of a United States senator, in
case no candidate has a majority, is re-
ported by the Washington Post as
meeting with some favor. There will
be four vacant chairs in the senate
when it meets as result of the in
ability Of state legislatures to elect SEN
ators by the present method, and this
will be an object lesson that will spur
action along some reformatory lines.
The failure of legislatures to elect has
created considerable sentiment among
the people in favor Of elections by the
people, but this would involve the al
most impossible task OF amending the
constitution, whereas, under the pres
emit arrangement, a law of congress
could make the change. Section of
article of the constitution prescribes
that 1.-The times. places and manner of
holding elections for senators and rep
resaatatixes, shall be prescribed in each

state by the legislature thereof, but the
congress may at any time by law make
or alter such regulations, except as to
the places of choosing senator's From
this 1t will be seen that if congress cam
not move the senatorial election from
a state legislature. it can prescribe the
method of election. 1t may be that
some valid objection may be urged in
time against Stewards plan, when the
subject is debated, though none has
come to the surface. There is certainly
pressing need of reform in the election
of senators.

return to the scene of his and the First
Nebraska's triumphs. It is stated that
before leaving Manila he was offered q
colonelcy In Bells regiment
by Gen. Otis, but declined on the ground
that Nebraska deserved higher recogni-
ton. Col. Milford desires to go back to
Luzon and efforts will undoubtedly be
made to meet his wishes, although how
this is to be done will be a problem for
the war department to decide. 1t is now
believed that Col. Milford will decline
the captaincy in the Thirty-second in

BRITISH VIEW OF AMERICAN IN

American brag," now regarded as al
most proverbial, has been modestly dis
counted and toned down as being half
the time due to American love of hui
NOR rather than to American conceit.
Nowadays, however, we do not have to
do all our own Dragging; there are 9TH
ers who do some of it for us. For in
stance, an English paper, the Liver
pool Journal of Commerce, a paper not
likely to be prejudiced in favor of the
United States, declares that before con-
demning the people wholesale for blow
ing their own trumpet it is as well to
Hook around and see ii there is not some
sumptive right to talk in a tone some
what above whisper, and brag of the
achievements of his country. Without

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CON

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CON

The republicans of Iowa never met in

and cheering auspices than those which |

to the situation and glorious EXPOSE
ton of fiattering conditions In the
financial and economical world 1t tells
of a state out of debt. with snug
balance in the treasury, of a successful
state and national administration, and
of an era of uneXanI,led prosperity. AS
an epochal period, it was worth while
for the dominant party to meet in such
an assemblage and point out TIC all
honest and ambitious. citizens the grand
opportunities now afforded them in the
fields of labor and the various avenues
OF improved life. Every citizen may

en-. in reading that platform. Its faith
full and truthful outlines OF the present
are prophetic of a successful future.
The only menace at present is in the
welding of too much power and the
dangers of such a position may be
avoided bv discretion.
Under ordinary circumstances con-
vention with so.many nominations set
tied beforehand would be a very tame
affair. but this one was one of the larg-
est and most enthusiastic conventions
that has been held for years. Nearly
every delegation was full and enthusi-
asm ran high. Many We're heard to re-
mark that it was fully as exciting in the
convention hall during the balloting for
the judgeship as when Shaw was first
nominated at Cedar Rapids in 1897.
There were few local chickering's and
some fallings out, but as q rule the con-
vention was unusually harmonious. The
crowd was a great. big, jovial, good.
natured picnic and every one had a
tirst- class time. The republicans of
Iowa make about one of the finest look
ing, best natured and most contented
appearing aggregations of American
citizenship that is ever gathered to-
gether.
1t was a grand day for the governor.
p
Probably no more spectacular nomi-
nation was ever made in convention
than when Smith Mcpherson moved
that the denomination be made unani-
nous and called for a rising vote, The
electrical effect was thrilling as the vast
audience arose yelling SHAW! Shaw!
If the governor had any doubts as tc
certainly ought to rest easy now. The
remark was not uncommon that this
outburst of popular feeling is about
what would happen if the governor
should become candidate for the
United States senate.
