CONGRESSMAN FRENCH.

The work performed by Congress
man French during the session of
Congress just closed, and the success
he has attained in all his efforts as a
member Of Congress for the protection
Of the interests Of the people of Idaho
show that he is we'll fitted for the high
and responsible position that has been
entrusted to him by the people of
Idaho. A great many men in Con-
gress are better known to the people
at large than Idaho's representative,
but for quiet and determined work, for
persistency in his endeavors, and for
constancy OF purpose in the service OF
his state, he is unexcelled. The day
has passed in the American Congress
for fowery speech and gallery plays.
Instead success is now attained by
those who attend strictly to their
duties, yet when called upon can give
an account of themselves in the
running debate for which the House Of
Representatives is noted. 1t is said
that Rufus E. Lester, who died last
week after a service OF nearly twenty
years, during his whole term Of service,
made but one speech. Yet Lester
secured for the improvement of the
port of Savannah, Georgia, his home
city, total appropriation Of six mill
ions of dollars, while the great port of
New York City has received in federal
aid approximately ten millions Of
dollars. While Mr.. French has been
in Congress only three years, his
successes thus far stamp him as an
exceedingly able representative. Few
of the younger members of Congress
have secured more inn ortant legislation
than he, and few members can claim a
larger number of close personal friends
among the leaders Of his party and
those in authority. He has gained his
friends and influence slowly but surely.
During the sittings of the House he is
always present. Uncle joe Cannon
sometimes has a good deal of difficulty
in keeping enough republicans on
hand to outvote the democrats. This
is especially true when politics
commence to warm up. Uncle
Joe", however, can always rely upon
tie Gentleman from Idaho" being
present. French has shown on more
than one occasion that he is a speaker
of unusual force. During this session
it has been necessary for him to make
an extended speech on three or four
measures. He was always given
respectful attention by democrats as.
we'll as republicans, and the beginning
of his speeches did not serve as a
signal for an exodus of members to the
cloak rooms; as is so often the case.
When the end OF the session came,
and with it the omnibus public build
ing bill-the supreme test of the
ability of a Member of Congress-
French was remembered by an ap-
preparation of one hundred thousand
dollars for public building at Moscow.

WHY NOT TROY.

Regarding the moving of the county
seat from Moscow to Troy the obec-
ton is raised that Troy has not the
necessary room. The News wishes to
offer a little light on the point and
asks that Troy be compared with Col
fax, Whitman county, Washington
Does anyone contend that Colfax is
not just as suitable as Moscow? At
least the Whitman county metropolis
is one of the most prosperous towns in
the northwest, and that in the face of
the fact that it is located in canyon
much harder of access than is Troy.
But Colfax is centrally located. It is
the geological center Of the county,
and compares in this respect with
Troy, the business metropolis of Latah
county. But if the argument of some
holds good, Palouse or Uniontown
ought to be selected. Both are at the
extreme edge Of their county, Just as
Moscow is. Now, if it is best in
Whitman county to have the court
house situated in the center where all
taxpayers may have equal considera-
ton why would it not be equally advis-
able to do the same thing in Latch
county?
Why not permit the best interest Of
taxpayers to govern rather than use
the county seat means of bolstering
up the price Of Moscow town lots at
the expense and inconvenience of
three-fourths of the people whose
money is used to maintain the county
and build court houses?

WAYLAND A CRATER.

The fact was developed in Girard,
Kan, the other day, that ]. A. Way
land, publisher Of the Appeal to Rea-
son, is president Of the Girard Cereal
company. He is the loudest of the
whole pack in denouncing corporations
and those who amass wealth, but he
seems to be looking after No. l with
great diligence. While he is drawing
his dividends from his cereal company
and any others in which he may be in
terested, he is beseeching people to
send him more subscriptions for the
paper in which he attacks the entire
system under which men accumulate
wealth. 1t has long been plain that
his motive in publishing the paper is
to make more money for himself, and
those who accept its utterances as Cos
pei should realize that he is using
them merely as a means of fattening
his own holdings.-Boise Statesman.

equal in their own capabilities and any
system that will compel the one to
come down to level with the other is
manifestly unjust. There is little help
for any man unless he will attempt to
help himself. And the world is full Of
those who persistently refuse to do this.
To compel them to save any portion of
their earnings would be the seyerest
kind Of punishment.

In spite of the pipe dreams of some
would-be prophets the Potlatch Lumber
Company is not making itself foolish
by attempting to dictate the politics of
this county or the state of Idaho, at
least this year. On the other hand
this company has expressed desire to
do the right thing by the people even
to the paying Of equal and just taxes
along with the farmer and merchant.
Neither is there any attempt being
made by this company at this time to
punish anyone who may have honestly
opposed the company in the past two
years. Col. Shaver may rant all he
pleases; he will not succeed in in
ducing the timber people to aid him in
his frantic efforts to dictate matters in
Latah county. Not at this time.

Did you ever see a fellow work hard
for several weeks or perhaps months
and then blow in his earnings just as if
they were of no value or consequence
Certainly you have. Now who is to
blame because such fellows are poor?
And are men of this kind entitled to
say to the sober, industrious fellow
that he must divide his savings with
him? Here is where Socialism will
have a rather good sized job on its
hand if ever the day Of final reckoning
comes and that party is in power.

MAKE ALCOHOL AT HOME.

A suggestion made last week by the
Palouse Republic may be Of interest to
the people Of this section, where there
is plenty of raw material for the purpose
set forth. The Republic says: What's
the matter with Palouse establishing a
distillery for the purpose Of producing
denatured alcohol Potatoes, beets,
corn, and other farm products can be
manufactured into alcohol which for
lights, cooking purposes and motive
power is cheaper, cleaner and safer than
kerosene. 1t would not be bad idea
for the Business Mems Association to
investigate the possibilities while on
the lookout for good things for Palouse

Carl Peterson has just increased the
Peck Sun to a five-column quarto and
is getting out paper that is dandy.
1t is trimming full Of live local news
and also has a page Of bright well
written editorial. He is saying all
he can in favor of his town and if the
people of Peck and vicinity are wise to
their best interests they will see that
such paper is we'll supported. If they
don't do that the town doesn't deserve
a decent paper and will probably not
keep one very long. Even an editor
can not live on sweet smiles and his
own enthusiasm and when any town finds
a man who has the hustle and ability
to boost and boom his town it is mon
ey well spent to support such an editor.

1t is gratifying to find the farmers of
this section determined to improve the
grade Of draft horses here. The sale
Of the Belgian stallion "Rostan," the

excellent results.

Columbus, Ohio, October -
County losal option is favored by
Samuel A. Hoskins, the Democra.

inee favors it both on moral and
political grounds and does not

Fitzwater and others addressed n
query to Mr.. Hoskins requesting
information as to his stand upon

say that as Democrat 1 firmly
believe in this doctrine and that it
should be applied to political and
moral questions alike. Speaking

the subject / will say that l believe
the liquor question should be sub

tion for itself. Perhaps | can
state the matter more concisely by

Farmers Against Dunlap.

Ashville, Pickaway Co., Ohio,
October 2, 1906.
To the Changers of Ohio:
We feel it our duty to call the
attention of all members of our
noble order to the legislative record
of our fellow member, Hon. Renick
Dunlap, of this county, who has
been placed on the Republican
ticket as a candidate for Food and
Dairy Commissioner.
Mr.. Dunlap was elected to the
senate from this district in 1908.
He was an honored member of
our order and announced that he
was going to the legislature to
champion the cause of the farmer.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Dunlap,
he fell under the influence of the
lobby and certain capitalists and
he voted with them, and against
the farmers interests. We do not
think Mr.. Dunlap was dishonest,
but he was not strong enough to
withstand the Establishments these
men used to induce him to forget
his promises and the teachings of
the Grange, and, as result, when

was $82 so, a ton and the highest
$3.50, the quality being the same.
The lowest bidders, firm at
Tonawonde, N. Y, offered to de-
liver them free on board at Colum-
bus. On the same day last March
there was purchased from Brelsford
$50 bundles of lined strawboard at
the rate of 500 ton To-day II
bid of $32 u ton was received for
the same material, and il came
from a Chicago firm that has been
paid $5, 600 worth of unchecked
bills under the old regime.

Slater's Bad Record.

Competitive bidding in the
Printing Department of the state,
recently introduced by Supervisor
j. w. Johnson, is turning out dali
ly surprises and furnishing new
reflections upon the past manage
ment. Some weeks ago it was
shown that gold leaf had been paid
for at the rate Of 80. 80 package
by the state when anybody else
could get it for ~ so. 1t was also
shown that goods delivered To the
state bindery We're seldom accom-
panied by the invoice in order that
check could be kept Most in
teresting of all it was shown that
nearly all of the supplies were
purchased from un individual in
Dayton, who was not known to
the paper or bindery business,
To-day Supervisor Johnson
opened bids for binders boards
and strawboards lined with paper,
and the figures staggered him. On
March 26 last his predecessor,
Mark Slater, bought from j. e.
Brelsford, of Dayton, 475 bundles
of binders boards at the uniform
weight of so lbs TO the bundle.
They were paid tor at the rate of

1t is charged that the same in

We call your attention to page
Sa1 of The Senate journal for 1904.
On April 25th the resolution to
amend the constitution so as to
exempt state and municipal bonds
from taxation was adopted in the
senate, receiving % votes, just
enough to pass it.
MIR. DUNLAP VOTED FOR
THIS RESOLUTION AND HIS
VOTE PASSED TT. HAD HE
VOTED NO, THE RESOLUTION
WOULD HAVE BEEN DEFEAT
ED.
Every granger in Ohio opposed
this iniquitous resolution, vet Mr..
Dunlap, the supposed representa-
tive of our order in the legislature,
voted strictly against the wishes
of his brothers.
At a meeting of the State Grange
held in Columbus in January of
the present year, a resolution was
adopted denouncing the adoption
of this resolution and appointing
a committee to take steps to have
it repealed by re-submitting it to
a vote of the people, thus undoing
the great wrong done our people
by Mr.. Dunlap's vote, which re-
suited in EXEMPTING FROM
TAXATION A HUNDRED MIL
LION DOLLARS HELD BY I'M
MENSE FINANCIAL INSTITU-
TIONS abundantly able to bear
their share of taxation, but on ac-
count Of Mr.. Dunlap's vote tins
additional burden now falls on the
farmer and his land.
We feel that in voting for this
questionable measure Mr.. Dunlap
was false to his people and has
shown himself united and un-
worthy to be trusted in pu bile
capacity.
But this is not all. In another
important matter Mr.. Dunlap
voted against the interest Of the
farmer. For years sheep fund
has been accumulated in each
by taxing dogs to pay farmers for
sheep killed and injured by dogs.
On page 255, Senate Journal,
1904, on March 16, Mr.. Dunlap
voted for bill to allow persons
injured by dogs to draw the sheep
fund from the treasury. This
bill became law with Mr.. Dun
laps vote. In some counties the
fund has been exhausted by people
living in cities, and not a cent re-
mains to pay farmers for their
sheep, thus defeating the purpose
Of the original law to compensate
farmers for injuries to their flocks.
We do not believe that the
Grange should be used as a CON
venience for politicians, and Mr..
Dunlap has shown by his votes
that his fealty to the bosses and
5he lobby is stronger than his obi.
CATION to his brother grangers and
farmers.
We submit these facts, which
are upon the open records, for
your consideration, and leave it
,or you to say whether your vote
will be given to man with such
record for an office as important
