The great underlying strength or cot ton was again revealed by the course or today's market which opening quiet and unchanged. soon developed an upward tendency, which carried prices as high as II 47 for July. Closing prices were prac- tically at the top,

The speculative public at last seems to De waking up to the merits of cotton, and and outside interest in the market is per ceptibly growing. The fact that cotton values held their own so well in the face of the recent enormous liquidation in the stock market has served to attract gen eral attention to the speculative possibill- ties on the long side of the market offered by this staple. If MT Price and those who have been leading the present bull campaign are to be believed cotton Is no longer a speculation but an investment. This claim is certainly backed up by the remarkably strong statistical position of the staple and also by the fact that the market contains a huge short interest not only in futures, but also in spots. some prominent exporters in this market are said to be heavily short of cotton engaged to the other side for shipment this month and this report would seem to be confirm ed by a dispatch received from New York today stating that bids had been received there for ten thousand bales spots all good mddling from New Orleans brokers.

Liverpool was again very quiet today, not even the unfavorable crop reports in- fuslng any enthusiasm in the foreign market. On the close options were two points higher than yesterday. while the spot situation was similarly uninteresting, sales 5000 bales at loss of one point.
 The bull leader continues to spread his doctrine throughout the land and the hith- erto mystical silence concerning his req sons for an extraordinary rise in values of prices of cotton was today broken by his announcement of three causes for the ful- fillment of his prophecy, none of which disclosed new facts or theories. which have not heretofore received consideration from all interested in the staple and Its value Nevertheless, the knowledge Of his presence is causing considerable temerity on the part of bears and no serious at tempt no matter how strong their convis- tons maybe, has been made or late to force the price of cotton down.

The saloon is always the center of

CITY HALL is NOW UP
TO THE PEOPLE
II Is FOR THEM TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY WANT A
VENEERED BUILDING OR NOT

The Tribune is informed by a
prominent contractor that the City
Council, in calling for bids for the
proposed city hall, has in mind two
separate and distinct structures. Con-
tractors are invited to submit bids
on solid brick and stone building
and also on a brick veneered struc-
ture. The Tribune makes mention
of this fact at this time in order
that the people of Caldwell may not
let the matter pass unnoticed 1t is
certain that the City Council will be
inclined to erect as handsome a
building as possible, and with this
good intention in mind, may lose it's
judgment. The veneered building
will be cheaper, and consequently a
larger building could be erected for
the same money. as a smaller one OF

Its citizens are substantial and they
want, and will insist upon having,
substantial public buildings. This
city hall will stand for 80 years
or more as a monument to the ideas,
thoughts and character of the people
of Caldwell. 1t should be so built
that no citizen will be ashamed of
it. Let the people of Caldwell ex-
press their opinion so forcefully and
in such a manner that the Council
will not dare to build the veneered
building. They should speak now,
while there is time. We urge the
people of Caldwell to take up the
natter at once.

town? Must man be characterized
as "ultra-religious" and "emasculat-
ed" because he insists upon having
and maintaining that condition which
is most nearly approved by common
sense?
Complaint is made that the Mayor
is so engrossed with the effort to re-
form the morals of his constituency
that the physical needs of the city
are neglected.
1t is about ten years since l first
became acquainted with Caldwell.
1t was the common report, at that
time, that the saloon, the brothel
and the gambling den were in full
and unrestricted operation seven
days and seven nights in the week
from the beginning of the year to its
end. For the first five of those ten
years the town made almost no prog
ress. 1t is safe to say that during
the last two years more improve
ments have been made in the city
than We're made during all the pre-
ceding eight.
The spirit of the present age must
be designated by the word prog
ress." Material and financial ad-
vancement cannot be achieved, or
maintained after achievement. with
out the accompaniment of moral re-
form. He who objects to this OBJ
jects to law as fixed as fate.
The complainer referred to above
is so far behind the spirit of the
times that he will find difficulty
in discovering his ideal city within
the territory of the United States.

Quietly at New Plymouth-Very
Conservative on ROstrum.
AS an evidence of the desperate
straights to which Senator Dubois
and his imported defenders of the
purity of the home, are reduced,
the following absurd statement by
one Mrs. Hail. is given. Mrs. Hall
made a political harangue at New
Plymouth this week. On the plat
form she was very conservative, but
after the meeting she held seance
with two or three New Plymouth
ladies. At this meeting, Mrs. Hall
said: Il am informed by responsible
persons that Governor Gooding is a
Mormon, and has two wives"
That choice morsel of information
will be news to Governor Gooding
and the people of Idaho. 1t is so
laughable and absurd as to need no
comment. 1t illustrates the methods

In the short space of a month he has
experienced a complete change of po-
litical heart and was nominated by
the Democrats. He Is a political &C
robat of agility, and goodness knows
where he will land after his defeat
next month. 1t is scarcely necessary
to speak of his opponent, Owen M.
Van Duyn. His faithful services as
county attorney the past two years
are matters with which everyone is
acquainted. His prosecution of the
Steunenberg murder case has been
vigorous and capable. Undaunted by
threats, he has performed his duty
in courageous manner, and he Is
needed to continue the work. Law
abiding citizens, irrespective of party
affiliations, agree that the next coun-
ty attorney must be man who can
be trusted. a man of stability, and
they know to positive certainty that
Mr.. Van Duyn is that kind of a man.

Just why the Democratic county
convention nominated renegade
Republican as candidate for repre-
sentative from this end of the county
is conundrum. If there were not
sufficient tried and true Democrats
to fill out the ticket, there
might have been some excuse for
such action, but our understanding
is there were several who were as
pirants for the position-men who
have for years contributed literally
work and money for the success
Of the Democratic party. They were
turned down to make room for a dis
gruntled office seeker, man who
but few days before had sought to
have his name considered for the
same position by the Republican con-
vention.
Rev. Deane, the nominee referred
10 above, has political opinions too
uncertain to entitle him to standing
in any political party.
We do not believe the voters of
Canyon county want to place such a
ickle-minded man in so important a
position as member of the legislature
from this county. They want a man

md principles-a man who can be
absolutely trusted and whom the itch
for office cannot swerve from the duty
he owes to his constituents. No fair
minded voter, be he Democrat or Re
publican, will cast his or her vote for
man who turns his political coat at
every change of the moon. Men who
cannot be trusted in little cannot be
.rusted in much. and no one can place
confidence in one who has no fixed
