The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1904-10-29

seeks to convey the impression that
Mr.. Watkins, Republican candidate
for assessor, is wholly incompetent
because, as it alleges, he puts out
his tongue when writing. We do
not know whether Mr.. Watkins
does that or not, but, if he does,
what possible bearing can it have
upon his qualifications as a public
servant? Would it be fair and just
to charge that Mr.. Aven, the Dem
ocratic candidate, is unfit to hold
public Office because he wiggles his
ears when computing the value of
9 pounds of potatoes at cents a
pound? Would it be just to the
editor of the News to charge that
he is entirely incompetent because
he wears a drought-stricken NOUS
tache and twists his mouth to the
southeast corner of section SO when
he talks? No, indeed, it would not
be just, but quite the contrary, be-
cause we know that Mr.. Jones is a
capable, worthy man, and any little
idiosincracies he may exhibit de-
tract nothing from his admirable
qualities. When it comes to the
matter of protruding the tongue
while engaged in writing, it is
rather sign of exceptional ability.
Benz min Franklin, Horace Greeley,
Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S.
Grant, all displayed that popularity.
Not one Of them, though, could
wiggle his ears, but if they all pos
sessed that power, it would not, in
the least, have diminished their
glory, but, on the other hand,
would have added another feature
to their many entertaining accom-
alishments. The News tries to rid
.icule Jasper Nichols by reference to
the kind of figure he would cut if
called upon to capture a gang of
train robbers. Well, now, Jasper
might not be as formidable an OBJ
ject as the Cardiff Giant, but,
really, would the appearance of Mr..
Lillard strike terror to the hearts of
band of desperate outlaws? But,
enough of this. We regret that
the News did, for moment, so far
forget its dignity as to descend to
that line of criticism. 1t did itself
great wrong, and will only be for
given by right thinking people
when it promises never to do it any
more.

TWO SENATORS FROM NEBRASKA
Burkett Said to be Slated for Dietrich's
Place.

OMAHA, Neb.. Feb. 1.-Word is
being passed around IN Nebraska that
d. f. Thompson, minister to Brazil, is
master of the senatorial situation and
will have decided on a man for Charles
Fl. Dietrich's place by the time he
comes home from Washington. Friends
the plans of the Nebraska leader are.
and they assure fellow republicans
that b. F.. Thompson. himself, or Elmer
J. Burkett congressman. will wear the
toga.
1t is assured that Burkett is the
man slated for the senate, if ThOmp-
son declares not to take the place him.
self. Burkett has the good will of all
the roads but the Burlington. and.
if Thampson accOrds him his support,
the chances are that the congressman
from the first district will be nOminat
ed for senator by reclamation.
The program in this event calls for
the assistance of Mr.. ROsewater in in
ducing the state convention. when it
meets on May is, to follow the wishes
of the railroads. There is an addenda
to the effect that ROsewater and
Thomson have formed an offensive
and defensive alliance that will let
Mr.. Thompson name the senator to
succeed Dietrich and let Mr.. Rosewater
have the long -looked-f for chance to en-
ter the senate as Millard's successor.

ROADS IN STATE.
Annual Convention Of the County As.
SCISSORS Will Be Held in Spokane
This Week.

The annual meeting of the county
assessors of the state of Washington
VIII be held in Spokane this week.
commencing Wednesday and continu-
ing for three days County assessor
r. j. Bergman left this morning to be
in attendance.
1t is expected that from % to 80 of
the 80 county assessors in the state will
be present at the meeting.
On Tuesday morning the members
Of the committee appointed at the last
annual meeting to obtain information
relative to railroad assessments in
other states, will meet in the assess
or's office in Spokane and formulate a
report. which will be one of the most
important matters to be considered by
the convention. This committee is
composed of the following: Assessor
Stewart. of Spokane. chairman: Meath,
Of Pierce county: Peter of King;
Archer of Chehalis: Duff of Whitman:
tluel. OF w ndlcOln, ana Beffyman,
of Walla Walla
The members of the state board Of
equalization. composed of State Audi
tor John d. Atkinson. Secretary of
State Nichols and State Land Com
missioner Calvert will attend the
meeting.
Although the assessors of this state
have met in convention before, this ia
the first time that the state board of
aqualiZa ton has been invited to at
tend. The work of the assessors and OF
the state board of equalization is close
ly allied and it is believed that CONSUL
tation of the assessors with members
Of the board will be advantageous to
both sides. Predictions are made here
that the assessors convention will vote
to raise the railroad valuations. The
rate now general throughout the coun-
ties Of the state is $4,000 per mile for
first class and $3.50 per mile for see
ond class trackage. The COM
nittee of the assessors has been
engaged for some time in preparing
statistics and it is said has reached the
determination to recommend an adj
vance on first class trackage to $1,000
or $4,000 per mile and perhaps more.
The members of the state board of
equalization deny all knowledge of any
foregone conclusions the committee or
assessors in general may have reach
ed. The state board members will have
no vote in the convention ana VIII
probab bly, do no more at Spokane than
address the convention or meet COM
nitteas arpoir1t.d to confer with them.

As Politicians See It.

Again the politician smiles at the
proposition. Why are not men the
cheapest articles in the market? This
is not only true Of HottentOts and KAT
frs, but are there not thousands of
American citizens willing to sell them
selves at the polls for five cents apiece
for a glass of whiskey, a nickel cigar,
a drink Of beer? Surely sheep never
drop that low. How much then is a
man better than sheep?

1t is true that man looks like a grain

true that he is king of all creation. He
cOnquers everything. He removes all

he tames and teaches him. The lion

this the feeling which inspired the
words of Anthony at Caesars bier: ON
mighty Caesar doest thou lie so low.
Did it not move Hamlet to remark at
