The Greatest Mine Promoter.

The prospector is the trail
blazer to the mining sections of
the great west; the discoverer of
precious metal bonanzas to be
enjoyed by others; the John in
the wilderness crying aloud good
mining news to the poor and
needy in purse; the leader of
stampedes to new ElDorados;
the builder of the first cabins in
the outposts of civilization; the
first victim of the tarantula juice
imported by an advanced and
higher civilization to his nearest
trading post, and becomes, at
last, food for prowling, famish-
ing wolves, or the occupant of a
pauper's grave, writes the West
ern Mining World. He has been
the vanguard in the race for
golden wealth, has instinctively,
honestly and faithfully perform
ed his self-imposed duties to his
crowding followers and finally
silently retired to we'll earned
obscurity and laid down and died.
He has not been the greatest
mine promoter.
The saloon keeper, the board
ing house proprietor, the mer-
chant, the carpenter, contractor
and builder, the schoolmaster
and preacher followed the pros
pector and miner in the order
named, and, pushing the pros
pector aside. built large towns
and cities, oiled the channels OF
commerce with the outputs of
Drawn and muscle, wrecked the
hopes and happiness of men
around the flowing bowl, filled
prisons and poor houses and
pauper's graves with skeletons
of once bright and happy human
beings, led fashions and follies,
directed the politics of municipal
and state governments, made
and unmade officials of common
wealths and of the nation, and
then passed out of sight as com
pletely and suddenly as the pros
pector, and were lost in the des-
tiny of their own creation. They
were surely not the greatest
mine promoters.
The greatest mine promoter
was not born and nourished IN
this great mining west, but its
seed had been planted by the
Architect of the Universe, in the
hills and mountains, which hal
a century ago were known az
part of the Great American Des
ert. The prospector fretted thu
fruitful ground, the miner oc
cupied and tilted it and his fol
lowers erected habitations there
on. 1t was goodly ground an
yielded wealth to the touch G
all. But it was a foreign nurse

which pierced the mountain SIC

WE WOULD warn Republicans to

VIZ WOULD warn Republicans to
pay no attention to run1ors circu-
lated the last day or two before
the election. There are usually
statements and fa1sehoods circulat-
ed just before or on the day of cleo
tion by persons more jealous than
honest against the candidates.
This has become habit with the
Democrats, they have already be-
gun this year, and so it would be
we'll to give no consideration to
such statements, as they are given
out at a time to late to deny them
and for the purpose Of deceiving
voters. We are told that a Demo
cratic paper will be issued the day
preceding the election, and this we
are told is its object. If SO, we
would again warn Republicans to
pay attention to nothing in this
way it may say.

WHERE ARE THEY?

The Commercial AdverHSey of
New York, on the morning of Mr..
Bryan visit to the city last week
called attention to the intellectual
condition of the Democratic party
in that city as Represented by the
people who were to sit with Mr..
Bryan at dinner. 1t asks: "Where
are t he eminent Democratic law
yers, Judges, merchants that in for
mer years were conspicuous in
such formal greetings to Presiden-
tia1 nominee of their party? We
Lave nearly a full bench of Demo
cratic Judges here, yet not one of
them will be present at this gather
ing. We have many illustrious
Democratic lawyers, but the only
member of the profession who can
rightly be called il1ustrious who
will be present is Edward M. Shep-
ard, and he will be eminent on this
occasion chiefly because of his iso-
1ation. Not a merchant or any
other person of prominence in the
business or social affairs of the city
will be there. The Mayor and
Brother Augustus and Mr.. Carroll
and many other holders of ice trust
stock and of Tammany places will
be in attendance, but scarcely a
man outside the immediate circle of
Tammany favoritism. The party is
becoming extremely select" But
Mr.. Bryan was given the seat of
honor and liked it exceedingly, and
cried out, "Great is Tammany and
Croker is its prophet" He might
have spelled prophet the other
way.-SaH Lake Tribune.

''VOte the other way"

Here is bit of advice recently
given by Mr.. Bryan in a speech at
Cambridge, Ohio: eff the working
man does not know how to vote in
order to hurt the trusts, he shon1d
watch the trust magnates vote and
then vote the other way" Exactly
Now let the workingman watch
Chairman Jones, the cottonbale trust
and ex-United States SEN
ator Camdon, a big magnate in the
Standard Oil Company who pre-
sided the other day at Bryan meet
ing in Parkersburg, w. Va. Then
voting the other way" he will
follow Mr.. Bryan's advice but he
will not help to elect Mr.. Bryan.-

STOP AND THINK.

It is a matter of great regret
among people generally that the Of
flee of Supt. of Schools is allowed
a place in political affairs. Never
the-1ess people should not allow
themselves to be so blinded by
party prejudice as to not vote
for the best interests OF the
schools. Stop and think what 1t
means to have graded system in
troduced into Our schools. That
the work gone over by pupils each
term must be exact and thorough, not
hap-hazard way of working tor
answers, never looking into the
reasons why such things are done.
Not continually each term, going
back over the same work, which
causes the pupils to become dlscour-
aged and disinterested.
Think what it meansto you, teach
ers, to have your work recognized
and carefully guided by an able in
tructor, such as Miss Bean is, anc
| to know that patient perseverance
is sure of promotion. People of al
parties, stop and think: Can yor
afford to vote against Miss Bean
for that vote would mean a vote
against the education of the child
ern, the promotion of our teachers
and the genara1 welfare ofthe schools
of Canyon Co. Vote fot Miss Beat
by allmeans.

TO VOTERS.

The teachers of Canyon County,
that is the home talent, work at a
great disadvantage. Many teachers
have graduated from the graded
schools Of the County and have then
taken course of training in some
Normal school, and yet, after years
Of patient work, they are not pro-
NOTED but must be content to take
positions in the ungraded schools,
with poor wages, and see the graded
schools filled each year with eastern
teachers who are quite often inferi-
or to our own teachers. This is
both unjust and discouraging to all
concerned and must be rernedied.
While we would gladly welcome
eastern teachers who come here to
make homes it is but fair to ali that
our own teachers be broght before
the public and their merits reconized.
Miss Cora B. Bean, the Republican
candidate for Superintendent Of
Schools in Canyon County, is fully
alive to the educational needs of olr
County and has the following plan
| Of work outlined. One Saturday
OF each month during the school
year at different places in the county
will be held a teachers convention,
in which teachers and others inter-
ested in educational work will be
asked to participate. An educat'
ional column will be secured in
some paper, and each week the edu'
cational work being done in the
county will be published The
country schools will be graded and
the parents Of pupils in the country
schools will know that their children
are relieving the same advantage:
as are given the children in the
town schools. To make the matter
plain, system of education will be
organized, and we all know tina
systematized work is the work tina
counts.
This is Miss Beams third year ii
the Caldwell Schools and she ha'
given entire satisfaction in her work
Her lifelong experience in tn
school room, the three years spen
i'll grading country schools, her ex
ecutive ability and great educationa
advantages will enable her to carry
on the work. Don't fail to vote 70

work there must be some one with
capital in hand to pay III. What
the country needs is such leglsla-
ton as will encourage and protect
wise combinations of capital and
destroy those combinations which
have no other end in view than TO
fleece unsuspecting people or to 50
monopolize natural productions as
to make unreasonable profits out OF
their investment and thereby I'M
pose intolerab1e burdens upon the
masses of the people.
A Republican.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1900-11-03

When Miss Bean was told she
couldn't be elected unless she quit
her school work and canvassed she
replied, 81 am sorry but I must at
tend to my duties, my work must
not be neglected, much as would
like the position" Such is the
character of Miss Bean. You will
always be proud of casting your
vote for Miss Bean.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1900-11-03

"Out of the fifty teachers
under my charge, I consider
Miss Bean the best. She has
taught in this school for nine
years and it is only that her
health may be benefited by
your climate that we allow
her to leave now" These are
the words of the supt. of Schools
in which Miss Bean taught.

SERIOUSLY PONDER.

During the campaign of 'o2 the
Democratic party promised the peo-
pie of the United States that if
elected great reformations would be
inaugurated and an era of good
times be brought to the country
such as had never before been expe-
rienced. :" We were also told at that
time that the continuation of the
Republicans in power even for one
more year would work the absolute
ruination of the land. Well we
took the Democrats at their word
and turned the management of the
government over to them. We all
remember what, happened next, or
if we do not remember and would
consult our best interests we would
proceed to refresh Our memories be-
fore the 9th day of November. In
retrospection we may again see the
Coxey army marching from the
. Occident toward the Orient. We
may see hundreds of men tramping
over the State of Idaho looking for
sufficient work to enable them to
buy food, and we may again smell
the odQr of the free soup kitchens
in the great cities. We may look
into the jails and asylutns of the
country and see crowded together
there in all shapes and conditions
ofdisttess, people, who had not the
whereWitha1 to buy a night's lodg-
ing. We may again hear the crash
of great financial institutes in every
State in the Union. We may wit
ness the passing of railroads into
the hands of receivers; the fore
closing of mortgages and the gen.
era1 wreck and decentralization of all
the business industries. Now when
fl the voter goes to the polls it be-
hooves him to seriously consider
whether or not he can afford to
take any more chances on Demo.
cratic promises before he makes uI
his ballot. IF he has a wife and
children he should seriously con-
slider whether or not he does moi
commit crime when he proposes
to vote the Democratic ticket and
thereby incur the risk of another
such experience as the country had
in the years from 1893 to 1896. L
is unnecessary to dwell at particu
lar length on this subject at thi:
time and mere mention of the con
ditions which prevailed during
those terrible years should be stuff
cient to make every intelligent mar
and woman seriously ponder on thu
chances they take in case they have
a thought of voting for that whose
politics have brought nothing t.
the country except misery, dis
tress and disaster.
