dummies. Whether the granting
of a so years franchise on the prin-
cipal streets of a growing town is
sound policy, Caldwell people may
determine for themselves, but in
the eye of enlightened and pro-
gressive craftsmanship it would ap-
pear as backward step amounting
to treachery against the public veal.
The TRIBUNE is not over anxious
about this matter, because the pres
ent city council is controlled by re-
formers of the first class. And it
doesn't seem so bad when the
squandering of vast public interests
goes hand in hand with great moral
regeneration. We can cheerfully
contemplate the giving away, or
sale, of public franchises with pros
pective values running into the
millions, if only saloons are closed
at and on Sunday. What matters
it if the entire community be ground

Up there at Twin Falls is paper
called the News" and it is mighty
good paper, too. For sometime it
has been pitching into the Govern
ment Reclamation Service in the
most peppery way imaginable.
With the utmost vigor and intre-
pidity, it attacks the entire outfit
from Newell to Ross and on down
the line to the sassy young gentle
men who have come out to conquer
the desert in hunting jackets and
laced boots.
We like the "News" very much
and find ourself charmed into &C

candor and frey eloquence, but,
incidentally, we are led to remark
that the News Is not as old in

CONVENTION NOMINATION.

Shall United States Senators be
nominated in party convention, ike
Congressman and Governors, and
passed up to the Legislature TOR
mere ratification, or shall leg1sla-
lures, under the Constitution, con-
tinue to arrogote wholly to them
selves the right to elect Senators
without regard to the wishes OF the
people at large? That question will
probably be up for consideration
from now until the respective State
conventions meet. AS we gather
information, it seems that at pres
ert the situation is about this: Mr..
Borah, candidate for the Senate,
stands for convention nomination,
while Governor Gooding, J. II.
Brady and other leaders will prob
ably oppose 1t.
There are sincere advocates on
both sides of this question, and
there is much to be said on both
sides. 1t is not, however, our pur-
pose to enter, at this time, into
discussion of the subject, more
than to say that nomination in con-
vention is, under the law, as it now
stands, the nearest possible ap-
proach to popular election OF Uni
ted States Senators.
This question was raised once
before in this State, but under very
different circumstances from which
it is now presented. Then Senator
Dubois, in the most insolent man
ner. attempted to force convention
nomination upon the Republican
party. He wired his commands
from Washington, D. c., to the
Republican State Committee, IN
session at Boise City. There had
been no previous discussion. nc
consultation. The State Commit
tee was simply ordered to do Ger
tain things, and the Committee re
VOTED against the arrogance o
Mr.. Dubois. The side issue thu
raised dominated the situation
However, there seems to have beer

small majority, We do not think
though, that the vote in that con
vention was fair test, and the re
suit ought not to be accepted as
criterion of public sentiment. Th
real question was whether Senate
Dubois should become party die
tator.
During the next six months, 1t
likely that the question will b
thoroughly threshed over, and
this time, let us hope, purely on II
intrinsic merits. AS above In.

ENGLISH COMPLAIN AT
GENERAL RISE IN PRICES
Special Cable to The Herald,

Specldl CdDle 10 lie I1ti
LONDON, Nov. 3.-The English are
complaining of rise in prices all
along the line.
The Birmingham and Midland Coun-
ties Grocers' association have decided
to raise the price of American bacon
Id a pound, and also to make an ad-
vance Of 1ad in the price of coupon
soaps.
An advance on cheese was postponed,
though a resolution was passed urging
members of the association to make
increased efforts to put cheese on a
remuneratiVe basis. The question of
raising the price of sugar was also
postponed, as the state of the market
was uncertain.
The president of the association, Mr..
c.. Keen, said butter and cheese had
been affected by the continued drought
during the summer.
The rise in jams is to be attributed
to the failure of this summers fruit
supply. Foreign oranges and lemons
are also very scarce.
Regarding the sugar supply, the
Cuban insurrection occurring just when
canes were ripe has forced America
to seek her supply from continental
beet.
Heavy storms in Spain and France
have resulted in a terrible failure of
the raisin crop.

KAlSER'S ANGER IS
EASILY ExPLlCABLE

Special Cable to The Herald.
VIENNA, Nov. S.-In connection with
the publication of Prince Hohenlohe's 8
memoirs the fc"nwing incident which
has just become known Is very note
worthy. It was reported from Berlin
that the anger of the kaiser at the issue
of these memoirs is quite explicable
when 1t is mentioned that the Hohen-
lohe family were offered by the Ger
man court the sum of 100000 marks
(S750.000) for the book, the intention
being to suppress it. Replying to an
inquiry sent to him at Colmar (Alsace),
Prince Alexander OF Hohenlohe says:
II empower you to declare that the
report from Berlin alluded to in your
telegram to me of this evening is from
beginning to end a senseless invention"
