All for a Good Cause.

Last Friday evening about S:3O
the citizens were arouse by a tire
signal being given by ringing the
Episcopal church bell and the pub
lie school bell. All the members
of the two fise. companies, and all
others that could possibly get
awav froul business, made a rush
for the hose carts their one thought
to get to the scene OF destruction
and to extinguish the fire demon
as quickly as possible. Some kind
soul informed the fire brigade that
the fire was at A. Fl. Williams
residence at the extreme southeast
ern part of town and thither they
went as fast as legs could carry
them. The companies made a
fine run, very fine, and nearly
every resident in town was on
hand to witness it, but when they
arrived at the place where they
were to exhibit their valor they
discovered that they were the VIC
TINS of huge joke, and if the per-
petrators of the same cauld have
been had at that moment the
chances are that they might have
been handled very roughly.
While we don't blame those that
made the run for being a little
mad at the time, still we have
learned later that no better thing
could have happened, as it was the
first time for some months that the
fire departments had turned out
in body. We have published
several articles in this paper advo-
eating the necessity for the COM
panies to get better organized and
to turn out about once every week
for the purpose OF practicing, but
up till last Fsiday nobody would
take the lead. 1t was a hard run
for starter but now that 1t is
started regular practice should be
had
Last Saturday evening a race
was had between the two compan-
les. The object was to run from
the corner of the McFall house and
string the hose from the fire plug
one block east, the company get
ting water in the shortest time to
win. The north side company ran
first and they made the remarka-
bly, short time OF one minute and
twelve seconds. The south side
company made a very fine start
but while reeling off the hose one
of the joints caught in the reel and
broke it so that it was. some little
time before they could get the hose
off the reel. Another race is sched
uled for the near future and as con
siderable enthusiasm is being evinc-
ed by the members of the two COM
panies it will undoubtedly prove a
very exciting one.

1t was suggested that in order
that the greatest amount OF good
might result from the system of
selling adopted it would be neces-
cary that the growers adhere as
nearly as possible to the arrange
ments that might be made by the
committee, and that all wool now
on hand should be withdrawn from
the market and not offered until
the date set for the sale thereof.
Sales OF wool made previous to
sales days would resultdisastrously
to the accomplishment of the plan
and the committee requests an ex-
preston on this point from those
holding wool as result of which
growers present pledged to hold
something like 1 1,250,000 pounds of
at wool the discretion of the
committee. All of this wool it is
understood will be shipped to Bos-
ton provided the prices offered by
buyers at the respective sales are
not satisfactory, and from growers
not present reports have come IN
in favor of the system adopted In
such numbers that it is estimated
that not less than 100000 pound
of wool will eventually be pledged
in a like manner
In long distance telephone
talk between ]. E. Clinton, Jr.,
and A. B. Moss OF Payette, who
has large quantity OF wool at Mid
vale and who has lately been sell
ing wool at fair prices, the latter
agreed to reserve the balance of
his wool awaiting the regular sales
day. Mr.. Moss stated that he
would soon have at Midvale
close to 2.5OO,OOO pounds OF wool.
The committee appointed for the
purpose set the following dates for
the sale of wool at the various
points of shipment.
Boise, Monday, June IL.
Mountainhome, Tuesday, June
-.
Shoshone, Wednesday morning,
June 13, previous to the departure
of the train on the Wood River
branch.

Saturday, June 10 and 10.

Weiser, Wednesday, June 90
previous to time of departure OF
train for Midvale.
Midvale balance Of Wednesday
and Thursday, June 20 and June
21.
The above dates are for the first
series of sales only and future
dates are to be arranged later as
the situation develops.
The work of the committee was
approved by the association and 1t
was decided to send Fred Go9ding
president of the association to-
Boston to look after matters there
and keep tab ON the situation
Secretary Clinton will keep Mr..
iGooding posted by wire ON sales
days regarding prices offered and
whether the wool is sold or shipped
on those days will ndepend lupon
the report made by Gooding from
Boston after being informed OF the
prices offered by buyers here. MIR.
Gooding left for his home IN Sho-

More than $4,O0O,OOO worth Of auto

with the last week Of June, and more

during the same time. Figures Of our
foreign commerce In automobiles show
the value Of automobiles imported In
the eleven months ending with May to
have been $3,5O2,2ii. and Of parts
thereof, S3IS,3S9, while exports thereof
during the same months amounted to
$2.9J7.74S. It Is apparent, therefore,
that the figures for the full fiscal year
which ended with June will show more
than 100000 worth Of automobiles
and parts thereof imported, and more
than 100000 worth exported.

THE IMPENDING CONFLICT,

| In an article entitled "The Impending
Conflict" which he contributes to the
July number of the North American
Review, DR.. Hannis Taylor discusses
the limitations created by the consti-
| tuition and by judicial decisions which
| make it difficult in this country to deal
with corporate evils by legislative en-
actment. In England. the supreme
power Is vested in parliament, which
S omnipotent and knows nothing OF
vested interests or vested rights. No
trust or monopoly could live moment
in England in opposition to the legisla-
tive will. Here, however, there are
rights protected by fundamental laws
against legislative interference. and
the most important question now be-
fore US, arising out of the vast accu-
mula tions of wealth which have re-
such protection to private corporations
as is granted to them in no other coun-
try is: How can a readjustment be

tenn of constitutional limitations. with
out revolutionary change in the or
ganism as q whole? The tendency of
the present system is to obliterate in
every department of life the will and
identity of the individual toiler, where
as the republic should distinctively
stand for the principle of individual
ism, as opposed to socialism and an
archy on the one hand, and to the tyr
amy of consolidated corporate wealth
on the other. Dr.. Taylor says:
las all the world knows, the peculiar
vantage ground occupied by corpora
lions in the United States is the out
come of the judge made law laid down
In the Dartmouth College case, wherein
it was held, contrary to English ideas,
that the charter of a private corpora
ton is contract, within the meaning
of that clause Of the constitution OF
the United States which declares that
no state shall make any law ilnpairing
the obligation of contracts. For long
time the effects Of that decision were
sanitary, as the natioHai Wealth was
vastly increased thru the confidence
which 1t impaired to corporate enter
prise But since the corporate power
and wealth thus nourished have be-
come menace to the commonwealth,
the supreme court has been doing all
in its power to narrow the scope of the
decision. by widening the declaration
that the obligation clause does not re-
strain states in the regulation of their
civil governmental institutions. While
the bar would Justly regard the entire
overruling OF the case in question as
revolutionary. II may be we'll for all
who are interested in its authority to
remember the fact that the power that
made can unmake. the power that ere
ated can destroy"

The RETURN OF SANITY.

me published record of death and
injury by Fourth of July accidents in
4 dicates that admonitory efforts of the
press and the featuring by newspapers
generally of the harvest annually reap
ed by the toy pistol, dynamite cane
and other agents for the destruction
OF human life. are having their effect.
! From 1899 to 1905. inclusive of these
years, the death totals have fallen from
$50 to 1872: cases Of lockjaw resulting
from injuries have dropped from 2sS to
81. Accidents have increased accord
ing to the figures given. from LAP to
5.176. This increase may be logically ac-
counted for. from the same causes Civ
4 en- for the decrease in fatalities and
fetanus Accidents have been featured.
Hundreds of minor injuries have been
reported under the crusade that for
merly would have gone unnoticed.
The facts given publicity by the
press has shocked the country into a
demand for a saner Fourth. The
warnings offered and urged previous
to the celebrations have had a good re-
suit. The ordinances prohibiting the
use of dangerous explosives are the re-
suit very largely of newspaper agita-
ton. Iowa mayors have done their
part by notifying dealers that such or
dinances would be- strictly enforced
The mistaken impression that Offirs
bill passed the legislature kept thous-
ands of dollars worth of dangerous ex-
plosives out of the state and saved life
and limb in Iowa communities.
The roll Of death and accident in
Iowa is proof of the wisdom of laws
limiting the privilege of the fool killer
who plays with dynamite. 1t is q
feather in the cap of the newspapers
that have been insistent against the
Insanity of noise and nitro-g lycerine
Who knows but in Iowa the dealer who
sells his neighbours children dynamite
canes and common crackers may soon
occupy a niche with the boot-legger

and we confidently expect to see him
get It, Anything else would be an out
rage on the republicans of the county.
But Mr. Hungerford. coming home
from the invigorating breezes of the
Thousand Isles. finds more food for
comment and foundation for statement.
As he sees II now, a complete trans
formation took place during his abb
sence. He says:
4 new and foreign element TO Car
roll county politics has been injected
which we have no hesitancy in con-
demning unsparingly. The action of
the county central committee in vest
ing Chairman korte with dictasorial
authority was unwise and uncailed for.
Ii was not only wrong. but ii was a po-
litical blunder
Mr. Hungerford accepts the situation
fairly To the Herald. "A r. Cummins
has fairly seemingly won the nominal
ton We believe in majority rule. He
has given us good administration.
And while his reelection will destroy
a precedent for which we have had a
good deal of respect, il is, neverthe-
less the wish of a majority of the re-
publicans of the state. We have al
ways cheerfully acquiesced in the
wishes of majority of the party in
the county and state, and it is our
purpose to now adhere to this policy"
However, Carroll is one of the coun-
ties that Mfr. Perkins would include in
his proposed arbitration. In the light
of the plain statements of the two
standpat newspapers in Carroll county,
what can he or any other honest man
see to arbitrate in Carroll county?
Such is the case in Carroll. In Scott.
republican and democratic newspapers
have alike plainly exposed the rotten
ness of the alleged contest brought by
the Hunter element. In Wapello. the
Blythe organ itself offered after the
convention its opinion that the delega-
ton should have been divided. All
Delaware repudiates the thought of
contest. If Mr.. Perkins is anxious for
the party and sincerely DESTROYS that
the expressed will of the republican
voters of the state shall be the guide
of the next convention. why Is he ask
ing Intervention" in counties where
every honest man with knowledge of
the facts acknowledges Perkins de-
feat?
Merely in passing way, it may not
be impertinent to suggest that had
Editor Hungerford staid in Carroll
county and stood as bravely for ma
jority rule before as he does after the
convention, some trouble might have
been avoided.
