IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

In the local real estate market yester- day trading for small amounts In resi- dence property made up the activity. The demand for centrally located property is strong but activity in this grade of property Is lacking on account of the shortage of the supply.
 There were no deals closed yesterday involving large amounts, but the market showed strength in small deals. Prices are in A very firm condition and are strongly inclined for the better
 The most noticeable development of the real estate market in the past two months Is the manner In which the &C., tivity In property of all the suburbs has increased.

The Brutal Cartoon.

Six months ago hundreds Of
Caldwell people listened to eloquent
stump speakers as they told of the
vice, depravity, degeneracy and
misery that existed in Utah because
of the sexual monstrosity that had
been nurtured by the people of that
unhappy State We were told of
desolate homes, heartbroken wives,
brutal and lecherous husbands,
abandoned, stifled and depraved
children, and with one accord, the
people of Caldwell lifted up their
voices and thanked heaven that
they were not like unto the people
ofUtah. That was only six months
ago when the people of Caldwell
thought they stood upon a high
moral plateau, looking down into
the abyss of corruption in which
the Mormons had their miserable
being.
Today it is given US to know
that Caldwell is sunk lower in
moral turpitude than any town in
Zion" We are told that here
homes are deso1ated. wives heart
broken, husbands grown brutal and
lecherous, children abandoned,
stiAed and depraved because of the
sexual vices which prevail in our
midst, and because of the saloons
which are the hot-beds and refugees
of those vices. We are told that
here it is unsafe to rear children
because of the scarlet iniquities that

people. They have an earnest
desire to better the community and
conceive that it would be bettered if
their ticket be elected. They dc
not realize that the community is
just about as good as it can be con-
sldering the material that composes
1t. They overlook the highly
creditable fact that Caldwell is
about the most moral town in all
the Great West; that morally and
spiritually it is blessed revelation
to people coming here from Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, not
to mention the effete east. Where
in the world will you find a more
orderly, more humane, a more
generous, a more intelligent, a more
gracious community than this is?
You can't do it, because the people
of Caldwell and vicinity are the
salt of the earth. Certainly, the
church people have done a great
deal towards bringing about this
happy, healthy condition. Their
influence for good is well recogniz-
ed and highly appreciated, but they
have not wrought this almost
miracle through the instrumentality
of the ballot; they have not accomp-
iished much through the agency OF
of civil government. But by their
daily ministrations as neighbors,
by their noble, upright and self
sacrificing lives, by their walk and
conversation they have made them
selves felt, and contributed wonder"
fully towards the moral uplifting
of the community. One noble life
makes more for moral good than
forty city ordinances. One earnest,
eloquent sermon by worthy minis
ter of Christ will accomplish more
for morality than thousand house
to house campaigns against the
Whisky ticket.

The Good old Times.

According to one of the old
English chronicles, royalty, IN
1884, had nothing for bed but a
sack of straw. Even in the days
of Queen Elizabeth at least half of
the population of London slept on
boards. Blocks of wood served as
pillows. The sleeping chamber OF
the Queen was daily strewn with
fresh rushes. Carpets were un-
known. Henry vi. Immediately
on arising tossed off a cup of wine.
Tea, coffee, and chocolate were, of
course, unheard of at that time.
Sugar was to pe had only in drug
stores, and then by the ounce.
These were the good old times.

the danger as well as the exaltation
Of his position. He may not ask
or expect greater considerations than
is awarded his fellows in political
strife. He may not expect that
words spoken by him will carry
greater weight than It spoken by
any other politician, but the fact
remains that greater consideration
will be given to his acts and greater
weight to his words than will be
accorded to the acts and words of
ordinary politicians. And, as this
is true, his mistakes will be judged
with greater severity. @~t <1a
We often wonder why it is that
men who have voluntarily set them
selves apart for the ministry are not
satisfied to labor within their chosen
field. It is a noble field, rich in OPP
portunity for noble works. Among
all the callings there is none SO ex-
a1ted, none so beautiful as that of
the ministry of Christ. In it the
highest aspirations of heart and
mind and soul may attain full frui-
ton; through it, the good that may
be accomplished is measureless.
"But," says one, "shall ministers
be denied the rights of citizenship?
Tut, nobody wants to deny a min
lister anything wholesome. But
who would not forego the privilege
to mix in ward politics for the sake of
a divine mission? What man with
just appreciation of the verities
of life would risk his standing as a
preacher to gain questionable emf
nence as politician? It seems to
US impossible that a truly devout
man should expect to accomplish
more for the uplifting of humanity
through the municipal ordinance
than through the gospel Of Christ.

SOME THOUGHTS.

Well, another city campaign is on
and the election is close at hand.
There are two tickets in the field,
one of which has been dubbed the,
"Whisky ticket" the other the,
Church ticket" from which
strangers might fairly infer that
Caldwell is in the throes of a tre-
mendous struggle between drunk
ness and divinity. AS a matter of
fact, though, there is no such con-
test. In the first instance, the
candidates on the Whisky ticket
are not drunkards, nor are their
supporters all wine bibbers. In
the second place, the candidates on
the church ticket are not all sancti-
fed saints nor are their supporters
all ready for TRANSPORTATION. If
you should stand both factions in a
field and run moral lever over
them, you would butt into as many
church ticket heads as Whisky
ticket heads. The truth is, the
game of politics is being played.
A great many good, sweet, conid-
ing men and women are being
worked to the Queens taste and they
don't know it. In order to mislead
these good souls, saloons, gambl-
ing dens and brothels are f1aunted
in their faces until they actually
believe that the town is a seething
cesspool of corruption. Husbands
sare made to tremble for the virtue
of their wives, wives are terrified
lest their poor, weak husbands be
seduced from the paths of rectltude,
and parents grow heartsick in con-
temptation OF the wickedness which
surrounds and is liable to engult
their children, if the Whisky ticket
should be elected. These good,
fearful husbands, wives AMI parents
do not realize that this awful picture
is being painted a shundred times
blacker than reality by cunning
political artists, who have other
designs than moral regeneration
They seem to forget that the repre-
sentatives of the Whisky ticket
are themselves, in large proportion,
husbands, wives and parents who
feel deeply for the moral wellbeing
of their families. On the other
hand, and in the main, the repre-
sentatives of the church ticket are
sincere, Jealous, well-meanlng
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1905-04-01

inally indulgent towards the men
who made them fall. The woman
sinner is reprobated. But the man
sinner is made hero, is welcomed
into respectable homes, is permitted
to marry pure girl and make her
the mother of children, cursed be-
fore they are born with lecherous
appetites. Let woman 5 attitude be
changed" 1t was a preacher who
made that diagnosis and prescribed
that remedy to. his flock. Prettv
sound doctrine, isn't it? And it is
not diluted with political schemes.
Then great deal remains to be
done in the home. Parents are
almost criminally neligent. That
same good minister of the gospel,
talking on this point said: "Ignor-
ant Innocence leads untold thous-
ands of girls astray. A prudish
silence lands many a girl in the
brorhel, and byovides her customers
as weA. 1t ought to be possible to
lnpart to our children some instruc
ton about these most important
relations of life, without manlting
the cheek of parent or child with a
blush. 1t is little short OF criminal
to send our children out into the
world of excitement and temptation
with no more preparation than if
they weregoing to live in Paradise"
Here is suggested a line of reforma-
ton that Christian people might
endeavor to exhaust before seeking
relief in politics.
. When one learns of the tvemen-
dous efforts that have been made
by the noblest. wisest and most
devoted men and women the world
has ever known to establish sexua al
purity, one is not apt to expect
serious results from the legislation
of village council or the admin
stration of village mayor.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1905-04-01

are Haunted before them, Turing
them into dark and forbidden paths;
that here the young men are con-
stantly beseiged by temptation too
strong, too enticiug for them to
resist; that here the virtue of hus.
bands and fathers is the prey of a
thousand stalking enemies pano-
piled in guises so seductive and
alluring that the poor husbands
and fathers can only sigh and sue
cumb; that here nupsial vows are
made the mere playthings of las
civious passions and degraded
appetites, and that here the marri-
age contract is more honored in
the breach than in the observance.
We can not begin to picture the
depravity that Caldwell has fallen
into, in six short months, with
out employing strong terms-very
strong terms. Why it is charged
by the "better clement" that aver
age citizens, respectable merchants,
doctors, lawyers, bankers, fathers
of families, mothers of children have
conspired and dared to openly put
up and support "Wbisky-Whore-
house" tisket. We blush to write
those degraded words, but truth
must not be beclouded by refine
ments. We give the very words
employed by opponents of the
Municipal Improvement ticket and
Jealous disciples of moral reform.
We want the candidates to know
that they are being advertised as
the apostles of intemperance and
the promoters of prostitution. We
want everybody to know how one
faction of this community describes
the other. We want the people
who listened to scathing denuncia-
tion of Mormonism six months ago,
and shuddered at the picture pres
ented, to know that practically that
same picture is now being used to
illustrate the moral condition of
Caldwell by the citizens of Caldwell.
And we want to say that it is a
false, shameless, brutal cartoon,
which should be condemned and
reprobated by every man and
woman in the town. Try to re-
member that this slauder is perpe-
trated upon your friends and neigh
bors, upon those you hold near and
dear, upon those you know to- be
kind, generous and true, upon those
who are ready to help and comfort
you in distress, upon those with
whom you have daily association
and most cordial relations, and then
remember that this slander is perpe-
trated in the name of morality.

Good Representation.

That was measly story related
by the Statesman, with a chuckle,
about Senator Hepburn having
been rebuked by the United States
Senate for insisting on making a
speech. The Statesman would like
to have its readers think that Sena-
tor Hepburn was making a nuisance
of himself by too much talk. The
story related by tue Statesman was
to the effect that Heyburn's amend
ment to the Indian appropriation
bill, providing $a7,o for a new
school building on the Lemhi reser-
walton, was rejected because the
Senator insisted on talking when
the Senate was tired of talk. The
fact is that the amendment was not
rejected. The appropriation was
secured, and Mr.. Heyburn's argu-
ment was what secured it.
In this connection it is proper to
say that both Hepburn and French
have worked harmoniously, assidu-
ously and successfully for the well
fare of Idaho and the nation at
large. They are honest, competent
representatives whom the people of
the State may well be proud of.
Representative French stands high
in the esteem of his fellow members
of the House. He is regarded as a
young statesman of exceptional
promise, and the longer he remains
at the National Capitol, the greater
becomes his usefulness and the
wider grows his influence. Idaho
is, indeed, ably represented in Con-
gress, and in this expression we in
clude Senator Dubois. He ably
represents one particular phase of
political controversy. and is es-
teen I'd for his shrewdness in that
line. In affairs of substantial in
terest to the State at large, he
stands squarely with Hepburn and
French. Being of the minority
party, he cannot accomplish much,
but his ability is recognized and
his power is felt. Altogether, Ida
no shows up pretty we'll at Wash
iugton. -

A Judicious inquiry.

A well known travelling man who
visits the drug trade say he has of
ten heard druggists inquire of Gus.
toners who asked for a cough medi-
cine, whether it was wanted for q
child or for an adult, and If for q
child they almost invariably recon-
mend C~hamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The reason for this is that they know
there is no danger from it and that
it always cures. There is not the. least
danger in giving it. and for coughs.
colds and Group it is unsurpassed. For
