NO SULKS HERE.

We have recently been apprised
that the Idaho Falls Register charg-
es that the editor OF THE TRIBUNE
is suffering from an attack of
''sulks," citing in proof the fact
that the State Republican ticket has
not had a standing place in these
columns. There is something to be
said on that point. In the first
place, what earthly good would it
do to anybody? In the second
place, so we are reliably informed,
some extremely patriotic editors
charge as much as $50 for printing
the State ticket. We would not
like to do that because it would be
an attempt to obtain money with
out consideration. In the third
place, we have been so'strenuously
employed during the past three
months getting -four enough into
the bin to last over winter that
we had not noticed whether or not
the State ticket was running in

STATE SENATOR WAYMAN

Few men, in the average walk Of
life, have been as active in practical
affairs as w. M. Wayman, Republi-
can nominee for State Senator from
Canyon County. Mr.. Wayman is
an Iowan, born in 1864. He left
his native State in 1880 and in 1890
entered government service as an
agency farmer on an Indian reserve.
He was shortly made general over
seer and soon after promoted to the
position Of superintendent of irriga-
ton. In 1900 he severed his con-
nection with the Government and
secured a farm in the Payette val
icy. In 1901, he engaged in the
sheep business from which he re-
tired in 1904. When Mr.. Wayman
settled in the Payette valley irriga-
ton matters were in a very unsatis-
factory condition. He at once be-
came active in in readjusting and
Strengthening things out. For
three years he served as vice presi-
dent or president of the Farmers
Cooperative Ditch Co., and to his
energy and ability is largely due
the present excellent system of irri-
cation which prevails in the Pay
cite valley. During the time that
Mr.. Wayman was either president
or vice president he was also gen,
eral manager and inaugurated ex-
tensive betterments all along the
liue of the big Payette canal. Re-
Gently, he placed a magnificent
headgate in the canal where the
water is diverted from the river. It
is solid concrete and iron, and pro-
nouuced by irrigation engineers as
among she most substantial and
perfect works of the kind in the
State. This headgate is located
near Emmett, and with it the flow
of water into the canal can be man
aged by child, and can be regulat-
ed from 10 inches to 3o,ooo
Mr.. Wayman received a high
school and business education. He
is affable, gentlemanly and remark
ably well informed. He is known
to be an upright, forceful man and

SHERIFF NICHOLS

Jasper c. Nichols, the Republic
can nominee for Sheriff of Canyon
County, was born in Missouri in
1867 and located near Caldwell in
1881. He has resided in Caldwell
or nearby ever since. He has al
ways been a loyal, consistent and
active Republic, thoroughly believ-
ing in the principles Of the grand
old party, and missing no oppor-
tunity to promote its success. He
has served as precinct and county
committeeman for many years, al
ways rendering good account of
his stewardship. Where Mr.. Mich
OILS is we'll known he is esteemed as
man Of integrity, sobriety, indus
try and intelligence. Although a
man of strong convictions and
frank expression, ne mas lew II any
enemies and hosts of friends. He
is deserving the favor and conf
dence of his party and the public.
For the past two years he served as
deputy sheriff, in which capacity,
the office work devolved upon him.
He has discharged his duty with
credit to himself and satisfaction
to the public. He has all the nat
ural qualifications of a good execu-
tive officer, combination that as.
sures to Canyon county a good
sheriff for the next two years.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1904-10-15

enjoys the confidence and esteem OF
the people of the Payette valley to
a remarkable degree. 1t would be
strange if man of his useful
ness and temperament did not have
a hobby and ride it. Mr.. Wayman
has one, and it is good roads. 1t
is to be hoped that next winter he
will succeed in mounting every
member of the Legislature upon that
same hobby. No better man could
be found for the responsible office
of State Senator. He is thorough
ly reliable, thoroughly honest and
thoroughly representative of all
that is good and wholesome and
progressive in Canyon County's
population.

A POSSIBLE DANGER

The writer has not for sometime
had much to say respecting the
Government Irrigation project in
this valley. Fact is we have had
irrigation troubles of our own, quite
enough for one body. And, more
over, we knew that as far as the
local situation was concerned it
was in good and capable hands.
The men in charge, with Mr.. Low
ell at the head, are thoroughly
competent to do all that can be
done and are pushing the business
with characteristic zeal and energy.
Our attention to this subject has
recently been particularly attracted
by reading and extract from a
speech made by Senator Fairbanks
at the town of Hanna, Wyoming.
He said that there is now in the
Government Reclamation Fund II
millions of dollars and the fund is
constantly growing. This indi
Gates that extensive constructive
work will soon be begun if the
present National administration is
continued in power. If, on the
other hand, there should be a
change, we must look for long de-
lays and possible abandonment Of
the entire policy Of reclamation Of
arid lands through Government aid.
While, it is true, Judge Parker has
expressed himself as favoring the
policy, yet, the fact must not be
overlooked, he is a stickler for the
fundamental principles of Democ-
racy and those principles are dia-
metrically opposed to the principles
upon which the reclamation policy
is based. In any event, the prog
ress of the work will be checked
and long delayed should there be a
change of administration. 1t is to
be hor-d that no such misfortune
will betall. Thousands of people
have made homestead entries, and,
at great trouble and expense, are
complying with the law to perfect
their claims. Those are depending
on the speedy construction of the
canal systems which will supply
them with water. Much delay will
COMP Ell most of them to abandon
their holdings after bitter struggles
and impoverishment. It is, there
fore, of utmost Importance that
nothing should happen to in any
wise retard the progress of the
work which Government has un-
dertaken with promise of speedy
completion.

a HINT TO OUR WIVES

It is argued by a certain school
OF social purists that the integrity
of every home in Idaho is endan-
gered by the existence Of few
moribund cases of polygamy in the
southeastern extremity of the State.
It is solemnly predicted that if all
classes of people do not unite and
hasten to eradicate those remnants
of impurity, they will revive, grow
and spread until the moral atmos-
phere of the entire commonwealth
is surcharged with sexual lust, and
every husband becomes the proprie-
tor of polygamous household.
This is substantially the doctrine
preached and the picture presented.
1t is supposed to be very effective
with the women and is said to cause
them profound apprehension and
untold anxiety, which state of
mind renders them desperate to the
point of voting the Democrat ticket.
If this is true, the husbands and
fathers of Idaho will hardly feel
f1attered at the estimate of them
formed by their wives. And we
would like to say to those wives
who form such estimates of their
husbands that if they would have
peace of mind they must fence the
old man in and chain him down,
for the State is teeming with oppor-
tunity for promiscuous CONVERSE
ton, and whether INDUCED with
plain courtesans, the deml-monde,
polygamous wives or concubines is
all the same to a virtuous woman
who holds that the marriage rela-
ton is holy compact-the conse-
Grafton of two lives to mutual love
and chastity.
But is it true that the wives of
Idaho regard their husbands as lib
ertines, fretting under the restraints
of civil and criminal laws, painting
to be unleashed and awaiting only
favorable opportunity to burst the
bonds and plunge into sexual de-
bauchery? We don't believe the
wives of Idaho regard their hus-
bands in that light. We don't be-
1ieve they relish the iusinuation
conveyed by anti-Mormon politi-
clans; but we do believe that when
they come to properly sense the
matter they will be filled with
scorn and indignation. They will
vindicate their intelligence and
demonstrate their faith in the 10y.
atty of their husbands by laughing
at the bugbear which has been con-
jured up to alarm them and repro
batting the political fakirs who have
sought to destroy the very founda.
tons of family peace and happi-
ness by casting doubt upon the
moral character, conjugal integrity,
sexual decency and fidelity of every
husband and father in the State;
for that is the insinuation conveyed
by anti-Mormon politicians when
they charge that the purity of our
homes are endangered by the exist
ence of few decaying remains of
a mistaken and unhappy religious
tenet.

Dangers of CIeveIandtsm.

Free silver was only a threatening
Deril from which the election of Nc
Kinley saved the nation. Free trade
was the road to ruin from which his
election diverted the national course.
The election of 1896 saved the United
States from Clevelandism no less than
from Organism, and Clevelandism is a
peril into which the people are not
likely to fling the country in reaction
from Organism. The threat Of Bryan
ism has not obscured the dangers Of
Clevelandism. The people have had
full experience of the miserfes pro-
duced by the latter and do not feel
encouraged to bring them on again.
The promise of Democracy is bad,
whether the promise appears in the
ascendency Of one Democratic faction
Or the other. The people are not ripe
for a change such as the Democrats
would give them.-Pittsburg Chronicle.

Routed by Puppets,

Toward the close Of the reign Of
Elizabeth, when the Spaniards were
frequently lowering about the south
west coast of England, a party from
their ships landed in the neighborhood
Of where Falmouth stands today, with
the intention Of burning the borough Of
Penryn. 1t CHANGED, however, that that
same evening some strollers had set
up in Penryn market place a repre-
sentation by puppets Of certain Incl
dents in the life Of Samson, including
his victory over the Philistines.
At the point Of Samson's onset upon
these with the jawbone of the ass the
strollers beat drums and sounded trum-
pets indicative Of an alarm, and the
Spaniards, who were at that moment
about to rush the town, believing it to
be full Of soldiers, bolted for their
boats
This probably occurred in 1895, when
there was Spanish squadron on the
coast, which landed troops and burned
Penzance.

It used to be told of General Logan
who was a member of congress at the
breaking out of the war, that when
he saw there was really going to be a
fight he seized musket, slipped out!
Of Washington and walked all the way
to Bull Run, where he arrived just in
time to have hand in the fray.
He wore dress coat, but he stood
his ground as long as any one. The
rout was complete, and the next morn
ing, a good deal out of breath, he was
back at the capitol, telling some of his
fellow congressman what he had seen.
"Who gave you this account Of the
fightT' asked a member from northern
New York as he Joined the group. =
"Why, was there myself" said Lo-
gan.
The New Yorker was mystifed. APP
parently he had not heard the news.

A Famous quarry.

The entire mass of the Monte Sagro,
5000 feet high, which dominates Car
rara, is solid marble. One of the most
famous .Quarries is in the valley Of the
Polraccio. From this were extracted
in Roman times the LOO tons of mar

Trajan's column at Rome. Here Do
natello got the block which he carved
into his st. George, and Michael Ange-

A Water Volcano.

One of the greatest natural curiosi-
ties in Central America is the Volcan
de Aqua or water volcano, which is
situated in Guatemala, about twenty
five miles southwest Of the capital. Its
apex is 14,45O feet above the level of
the sea, and cultivated fields and for
est trees extend almost to its summit.
It occasionally vents forth torrents of
pure cold water. On one occasion an
eruption Of this kind inundated the
northern valley and destroyed whole
village situated on the side Of the
peak.
