A Letter to Dubois.

The following open letter to Sen
ator Dubois, who is now directing
the destinies of the democratic party
in Idaho, appeared In a recent issue
of the Pocatello Tribune. 1t con-
tains nothing but pointed truths and
after reading 1T, old line democrats
should be able to see the folly of
longer following the Senator in his
present crusade against the Nor
mons:
Hon. Fred t. Dubois, United Sta ties
Senator of Idaho
Dear Sir:-You are the son Of that
celebrated Doctor Jesse K. Dubois of
Springfield, Illinois, the bosom friend of
the immortal Abraham Lincoln and one
OF the founders OF the Republican party.
You were nurtured in an atmosphere of
Repuollcanlsm and of party loyalty.
You came to Idaho, then young ter
ritory, and received your first office,
that of United States marshal, at the
hands of Republican President, and
through the influence of Republicans.
A little later on you organized the old
anti Mo rmon party, which was effective
IN the southeast, and you were elected
as delegate to Congress- Republican
in the North and an anti-Mormon in the
South This office you were twice
honored with.
Stlll later on when statehood was ac-
quired, you were honored by Republi-
can Legislature with the election to the
United States Senate, winning the six
year term from George L. Shoup and
w. j. McC onnell.
Toward the end of your term YOU be-
came sO-called Silver Republican
leading the boiling delegation from the
St. Louis National convention and CAR
ryiDg two-thirds of the Republican
party of Idaho with you.
l was delegate to the Pocatello state
convention which sent you and your
associates to st. Louis. and Supported
you because I believed your position on
the money question to be correct one.
The present Senator Hepburn was the
only man in that whole convention who
mad the courage to rise and plead that
the republicans of Idaho remain loyal
70 the Nationalparty, and he was sup
ported by mere half dozen. He was
Jeered at and Senator Shou p, our nation
al committeeman, was refused the
empty honor of an election as delegate
from Idaho. After the bolt at st. Louis
you immediately began negotiations
with William J Bryan, presidential
candidate on the Democratic ticket
BY this time, however, the Populist
party had become formidable faction
and one to be reckoned with. In fact
it was the dominant party of Idaho and
fusion with the Democrats swept the
state like an avalanche You were de.
feated for reelection to the Senate by
hon. Henry Heitfeld after a long and
acrimonious struggle. After several
years you were again elected Senator

A Dutch Fishing VILLAGE.

At Marker, fishing village Of Hol-
land, few men are to be seen, as they
are nearly always out at sea in their
boats. Those whom one does see are
like Dutchmen in a play, in queer
headgear, in the most voluminous
knickerbockers that ever delighted the
heart Of caricaturist and having on
Gathering wooden shoes, which are, as
coasting skipper once said, the sur
est preventive Of colds and of "cold
feet (Which he spoke Of as If they
were a disease) to be found in the
world. Clumsy enough these Dutch
fisher folk look, but they are handy
in a boat. But there is agriculture, too,
of simple kind at Marker. Not man
usually is to be seen working in the
hay harvest or at other employment in
the fields. The women do the farm
work.

Rural Publicity,

It is a great convenience in driving
through the county to see the names
Of the farmers on their mail boxes by
the roadside. The man should be per-
sonally identified with the place he
farms. Even if there is no business to
transact with the farmer at the time or
IN the future the passer-by takes an
interest in this place or that as he sees
the natural beauty, improvements,
manner of farming and keeping up the
premises, the focks, herds, etc.. and
he would like to know who is respon-
slble for that sort of a place. He may
meet the farmer in the future, see his
name in print or hear it mentioned
and it will increase interest in both the
farm and farmer to be able to associ-
ate the two. AS the paint wears off
the mail box the owners name be-
comes very dim to read and should be
renewed in plain black letters.
Whether the farmer lives on a mail
route or not it would be very nice
thing to put sign giving the name of
the farmer, and if he be a tenant to
also give the name of owner of the
place. NORMAN County Index.

Hurrying Up the Baby.

from a poem which recently appeared
In a South African paper, thinking we
shall approve of it's sentiments. We
do, we do. The inspired verse is enti-
tied Making Man" and begins:
Hurry the baby as fast as you can.
Hurry him, worry him. make him a man;
OF with his baby clothes, get him in
pants
Feed him on brain foods and make him
advance;
Hustle him, soon as he's able to walk,
Into a grammar school, cram him with
talk;
FIJI his poor head full of figures and
facts
Keep on a-jamming them in till it cracks.
