Republican Prosperity.

The action of the Oregon Short
Line railroad company in raising the
wages of machinists in its employ to
40 cents an hour, calls to our mind
the difference in conditions today and
ten years ago. Then the entire coun-
try was enjoying an era of Cleve-
land prosperity" and the Short Line
machinists were working but eight
hours day and only five days
week, and their wages were 35 cents
an hour. Then machinist earned
$14 a week as against $21. 40 a week
now. 1t is true the cost of living is
greater today than it was ten years
ago, but the per cent of increase is
not as great as the increase in wages.
Besides, what does it profit man
to be able to buy an article cheap IL
he hasn't the dollar to pay for it. In
those days our land was alive with
men seeking employment of all kinds
while today the demand for common
and skilled labor is far greater than
the supply, and better wages are be-
ing paid than were ever before paid
to laboring men in any land on the
face of the globe.-Montpelier Ex-

Political Parties.

In reply to an article in the New
Voice, the Moralist, a most excellent
prohibition paper, says:
The present hope of an awakened
nation is the fading out of party
lines" That is not SO. The hope of
the nation is in the way of stronger
organization, and rivalry in each
party to nominate good men. Added
to this should be an added independ-
ence among the voters to favor clean
parties and clean principles, II there
were no political parties. this nation
would be bankrupt of patriotism in
less than generation. If there were
no political parties we would be as
sured of civic stagnation.

A Matrimonial Epidemic.

One of the great eastern life in
surance companies recently had its
big Office force seriously depleted by
the marriage of number of it's
stenographers, who married the
young men of the company's Office
staff and seriously demoraliZed the
clerical organization. Now comes the
announcement that seventy-four Of
the teachers of the New York City
schools were married during vaca
ton, practically all of them return
ing to work after the summers close.
Now a bylaw of the board of
education in New York forbids any
woman to marry under penalty of
losing her job, but the court of APP
peals, presumably composed of mar
ried men, has declared that the by
law cuts no ice, that Cupid is beyond
an ordinary Board of Education's
rules and that the married teachers
may hold on.
That Is a good law under some
circumstances, and on general prin-
ciples the marrying habit ought to
be encouraged. No man is really
worth much to himself or to his en-
ployers until he Is married. His
services are worth more, he is in
position to learn the value of reti-
cence, of diligence. and of devotion
to some one besides himself-all vir-
tues worth acquiring. 1t may gall
him somewhat to rise betimes in the
morning and rustic the kindling and
coal; his bachelor soul may revolt
at the prospect of washing dishes and
putting away the silver and scrub
bling the kitchen sink when the maid
strikes. But it will do his soul good,
so much good that the plain office
tasks will be welcome and the tasks
of business look like play.
A Broadway Frenchman who runs
restaurant showed his appreciation
of these great truths just year ago.
He offered to give 500 to each of
his employees who married. and $50
as birthday present for every little
addition to the staif. UP to the first
of this month he had invested just
$500 in marriage presents and
$1,15O for twenty three babies ac-
credited to his staff. 1t is not re-
corded how long the offer is open
but the Frenchman is a public bene-
factor, a friend of the race and a
wise business man. The married
man is steadier than the single man
and the married man with the baby
annex is about the safest, steadiest
being on earth. Occasionally he flies
the track, but If he does 1t Is in spite
of the "toe-weights" of matrimony
that make for good. substantial citi

Well Caves In.

Last Saturday morning while ex-
aiming the curbing in a well, 1.
Frater was buried under from thirty
five to fifty feet of dirt. The we'll
was known to be In bad condition
and 1t was perhaps owing to this
that led him to make his will before
making the fatal descent. "If l don't
get out alive, give this to my partner
and my son in California" were his
words, concerning the we'll.
He took the precaution to chain
himself fast to the swinging platform
upon which he was seated. Having
replaced two boards with new ones
the CAVERN started and he gave the
sign to draw him up-but too late.
The side collapsed, precitatihg upon
him between thirty-flve and fifty feet
of dirt. The well was 80 feet deep
and was filled within 30 feet of the
top.
A large force of men went to work
at once, but the indications are that
he was killed instantly. Relatives
were telegraphed, and are now here.

The Canyon County fair has been
in progress all week. The exhibits
are much better than usual, while
the attendance is the largest in the
history of the Fair. The Tribune
will give next week, full account of
the fair and a complete list OF the
premiums awarded. We were unable
to get complete list this week, and
thinking that our readers would pre-
fer to have the list complete in one
issue, we governed ourselves accord

ways gentlemanly and consulting
with them. The ranchers are all his
friends. Mr.. Harrington is and al
ways has been an ardent and consist
ent Republican, is good business
man, prompt and honorable in all his
affairs, we'll informed, shrewd, liberal

the position of State Senator with
credit to the county and his constitu-

But above and behind his election
stands the important question, Shall
we send a man to the senate who
will support the Republican nominee
for U. S. Senate who will uphold the
existing status of our national af-
fairs; or shall we vote for a man
pledged by his party's platform to
support a candidate for the U. s.
Senatorship who while claiming he is
in full accord with the national Re-
publican principles, has provided the
Democratic party in this State with a
platform Ito get in on) which the
old leaders of that party have re-
fused to endorse? In other words
shall we stand by the present nation
al administration, or shall we attempt
to undo all the good work 1t has
done and is doing?
Our candidate for representative,
John E. Keith, is a successful rancher
and wool-grower of Lower Reynolds
creek, a gentleman of ability, well
informed, liberal and progressive,
who will keenly look after the inter
ests of the people, will vote right on
the senatorship, and can be relied on
to fill the position with credit and
honor.

SECOND BUTT.
Editor Tribune

| see by the last issue of the News
that cognizance was taken of my
suggestion. and where l live, not a
few have remarked the truth of my
statements. ought to thank the
News for determining that / am
she; 1t was surprise to both my
selfand my Internationally to my
wife-for she has always felt 1t diff
ferently, but | defer to 1.-THE superior
judgment of the putative editor of
the News. But l made two state
ments in The Tribune-one, that Mr..
Bailey was unable to construct even
the simplest sentence in accordance
with good English usage; the other,
that Mr. Bailey had been bribed.
Mr.. Bailey has denied neither, be-
caus, per Sc, both statments are
clearly true ON the face of them,
However, Mr.. Bailey has sufficient
mental acuman to see the point of
our argument, or, the Democratic
county central committee feared that
Mr.. Bailey would not deliver the
goods, as paid for, as the Democrat
ic county central committee now ed
its Mr.. Badleys paper, and that Is
quite an improvement, grammatical
ly.
Why should the people of Canyon
county change their present county
officials? Are they not competent?
Are they not filling the offices to
which they were elected in splen-
| did manner? And is 1t not matter
of plain business judgment to keep
in your employ faithful, conscien-
tious servants? Now, take the mat
| ter of the Probate Judges offices.
| Mr.. Hagelin, the present incumbent,
and candidate for election, Is learn
ed in the law; Mr.. Hawks, his OPP
ponent, is learend In the gospel. Do
we want law or gospel in the Office
| of Probate Judge? | need not an
swer that question. Take the mat
| ter of morals. Personally, either
Mr.. Tucker or Mr.. Hagelin, is the
peer morally. of Mr.. Bailey or Mr..
Hawks. And as to principles, they
are the latter gentlemen's superiors.
Fan effort was made by the News to
make it appear that Mrs. Tucker
was the author of The Goat letter,
and as 1t will serve the Democratic
lcounty central committee, which edits
Mr.. Badley's paper. to have 1t so,
am not going to enter upon an
extended denial. Were it sincere, the
thought would flatter me immensely,
but knowing that it is not, will be
forced to let the swelling of my
chest abate. Mrs. Tucker does not
know the author of the Goat Letter.
| But Mrs. Tucker is a very COM
petent woman, and an honor and an
ornament to the place she fills. My
friend Abe Lincoln had the political
situation in this county sized up
right when he used the argument
that it is not good policy to swap
horses in the middle of a stream. And
all will agree with me that 1t is not
the part of wisdom to change COM
petent servants for doubtful ones
None of you who read this would dc
SO silly thing in your own business
affairs, and | am sure you will not
do it in political affairs.

FIRST SERIES OF RECITALs.
An Evening With Russian and Slav
Composers Very Pleasant-Niiss
EglestOn and Mrs. Brandt.

Egleston and Mrs. Brandt.
The first OF the series of four re-
citals to be given by Mrs. Brandt and
Miss Egleston during October took
place last evening at Carnegie hall.
1t was an evening with Russian and
Slav composers, and while the num-
bers were from one school, the selec-
tons were extremely varied.
Tschaikowski stands at the head of
this school and the group OF his songs
which Mrs. Brandt selected to illus
trate her style, were charming in
their deep fervor and their sombre
melancholy and her rich mezzo con-
tralto voice seemed especially suited
to their quaint charm. Mrs. Brandt
has been in Boise but short time,
but she has already sung herself into
the hearts of the people. Her clos
ing number, What Torment; What
Rapture" was given with such dra-
matte Interpretation that the audi
ence insisted on an encore and she
graciously responded with Gods In
His Heaven"
Miss Egleston is an artist that
Boise may be proud of. Her plano
playing is exceedingly brilliant and
shows that an amount of deep study
and thought has been put into her
work. Her numbers were all very
clever and her accomplishments es-
pecially pleasing. The audience was
very enthusiastic one and every
number was heartily applauded.-

HAWLEY ARGUES FOR STATE.
Denounces Charge of Collision as
Absolutely GrOundless.

WASHINGTON, OCT. 1O-In the
in the appeal of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, J. H. Hawley. chief coun-
sci for the state, made a strong argu-
ment for the prosecution and replied
to the contentious regarding the IL.
legality of the extradition proceed
ings:
"are absolutely groundless. Having
demurred, the prosecution does not
admit the allegations made by the
defense. The question of how de-
PENDANTS reached Idaho cannot be a
subject of judicial inquiry. They are
there, and the question is, are they
ings were irregular, the parties alb
Quoting them could be tried for kid
mapping or the defendants could sue
for damages"
In closing, Mr. Hawley told the
court:
IF the defendants are innocent
they would demand trial and invoke
the assistance of the courts so that
their innocence could be demonstrated
and then have remedy against those
who worked injustice against them.
The trial of this case could not be had
at the last term Of court with the ap-
peals pending, involving the same
questions that are here today. Three
months ago we asked the defense to
withdraw these appeals in order that
we could GO on with the trial, but
they refused. 1t was their right to
do so, but when they exercised that
right, l cannot sit still and have it
stated by them that the prosecution
was the cause of their trial not being
held at the proper time. AS chief
counsel of the state | can say that
we were absolutely ready then and
we desired to proceed, but could not
do 80 on account of the bar of the
statute"
During the argument every justice
interrupted with questions. The
questions, except those Of Justice
McKenna, all seemed to indicate that
the court will not order the release
of Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone,
but will be willing to take up habaes
corpus proceedings when the trial in
Idaho'is concluded.

WASHINGTON, OCT. 10.-The
supreme court of the United States
heard argument today in the cases Of
Charles Meyer, w. D. Haywood and
George A. Pettibone, officers and
members of the Western Federation
Of Miners, who are in prision in Ida
no, charged with the murder of ex-
Governor Steunenberg of that state.
The case comes to this court on ap-
peal from the decision of the Idaho
federal court refusing to grant writs
of habeas corpus. The case of the
prisoners was presented by E. f.
Richardson of Denver and G. s. OAR
row of Chicago, and for the State OF
Idaho by j. H. Hawley of Boise.
The principal point in controversy
was the method by which the Idaho
authorities secured jurisdiction over
the men. All of them are residents
of Colorado, and 1t was alleged on
behalf of Meyer and his associates
that they were kidnapped in pursuance
of conspiracy to which the governor
of Colorado and the Idaho authorities
were parties. and hence that juris-
diction was secured by fraud. The
act was denounced as fragrant
malfeasance of executive duty from
the contemplation of which right
thinking people turn with loathing. "
Mr.. Hawley contended that the
extradition proceedings had been en-
tirely regular. and, referring to the
reflections upon the Idaho and Colo
RADIO authorities. said that the courts
could not afford to countenance such
abuse of high officials by counsel
He took the position that even II II
were true that the governor OF Colo
RADIO had connived at the removal OF
the federation officers In an irregular
way the remedy was in an action fol
damages and that the status OF the
prisoners could not be affected by
such a course on the part OF the
Colorado executive.

White Rainbows.

A fine rain and strong sun are
necessary for the formation of white
rainbows. The phenomenon is due to
the optical principle known as inter-
ference. If the drops of water be
very small. the interference of the
rays causes such a comr'ete overlap
ping of the colors that the bow ap-
pears white. The various prismatic
colors, instead of being thrown out
separately. as in the ord'rary prism,
are thrown one on top Of the other,
