also insisted that they shall bear their
just portion of taxation and be fair

The Cause of Education.
Governor Bradley says nothing at all
about the schools and the cause of
education because he knows that moth
ing was done for them during his and
Taylor's administrations. He knows
the vast good done for them under
Democratic administration, and there
fore ignores the subject. He does not
even attempt to explain the fragrant
action of his administration in the
year 1899 in padding the school fund
and increasing the school per capita
to $270 for its effect upon the cam
paign of that year. Nor does he an
swer the charge that this inexcusable
attempt for campaign material caused
deficit the following year Of $147, 900
in the school fund, which the Demo-
cratic administration had to make
good, and caused the per capita thai
year to fall to $2.45. The Democratic
administration has raised it from
$2.45 to $40. 1t has increased the
Gu4 70 civ
months of free tuition throughout the
commonwealth. 1t has established
two normal schools for our teachers.
1t has given generously to the State
College and to the State Colored Nor
NAL School. 1t has passed the school
book bill in the face Of his and his
party's opposition, that gives to the
school children of the state their
school books at one-third less than
they formerly paid. In the face of
Republican promises, which can never
be relied upon, it presents facts like
these
He complains that we have no plat
form. The record of the Democratic
administration is sufficient platform,
and the. people consider it far prefer.
able to the vain promises in the Re-
publican platform. Their experience
with the Bradley and Taylor admins
trations has taught them that Repub-
lican platform promises are not worth
the paper they are written on.
BY jugglery of figures he tries to
show that the cost of public printing
under his administration was less than
it has been under Democratic admin
istration. He states what the records
prove to be untrue, for those records
show that under Democratic admins
tration there has been much greater
amount of public printing done than
under the Republican administration
and at $2,567.91 less cost per year.
He also says, and quote his words:

Tells Why Bradley Won't Discuss
GoebeI Assassination.

Stanton, KY, Oct. 10. Declaring
that the Republican state campaign is

and that its chief exponent upon the

version of records and distortion of
facts in a vain effort to cover up the

ing. He denounced Bradley's utter
ances as without a parallel for in
accuracy, Misrepresentation and de-
ception."
Charges Completely RiddIed.
Taking up the statements and
charges made by the former governor,
the present chief executive riddled
them completely, showing in detail
wherein they are either childish or
deliberate misrepresentation, and
that the Republican method of ped

hoods is for the purpose, if possible,
to divert the minds of the voters from
the real facts. He charged the ex-
governor with being the man most
responsible for the temporary reign
of the fugitive Taylor, and declared
that Bradley might have averted the
great calamity, the assassination If
William Goebel, who once did him a
great favor, if he had communicated

0LMSItAD WSIlS CITY.
Orders Park Repairs end Promises
New Depot.

Supt. G. H. Olmstead, accompa-
MED by Division Eng ineer Harrer
of the Oregon Short Line, paid our
city a visit on last Tuesday. AL
though his visit was unannounced,
he was met by some of the leading
citizens who drove him around the
town and pointed out a nun Der of
things that needed the attention of
the railroad officials.
He was greatly impressed with
the rapid development OF the town
and surrounding country and pre-
dicted a great future for Mountain
Home. He instructed Mr.. Harrer
to have the K. r. park finished as
soon as he could and to make it one
of the incest parks along the
line. He also gave instructions to
have weeds cut on the right of way
and promised to have cement side
walks from the depot to connect
with the walks at Rosenheim's COR
ner, but admonisehd US not to be-
come impatient as it would be a
month before they could get at it.
Bishop Olmstead, as he is more
commonly called by the boys of
more intimate acquaintance, is a
man OF more than pleasing address
and personality. While he bears
the earmarks of the typical railroad
man, there is lacking the usual
gruffness and self importance SO
noticeable among high railroad Of
ficials. He don't feel his import
ance a bit and when a scythe was
brought at his request to demon
strate to engineer Harrer that the
grass could be cut or moved in that
manner, the old man went after it
in a way that convinced the on
lockers that he had done things in
his life other than run a railroad.

train window and have on more
occasions than one predicted that
Mountain Home will become enc
( Of the greatest centers on the Short
/ Line.
"'The people in general don't
know about it, ne continued gro "
ing more enthusiastic, ''and an
other thing you will find that with
in five years you will have lot
more rain, meaning less water fol
| irrigation, and again you will find
! that in a few years the water now
required to irrigate one Thousand
acres will irrigate two thousand
acres then. No, you can't go wrong
on Mountain Home now, and l am
going to do everything in my pow
er to help you along.
when are we going to build =
new depot? Well, Pocatello is first
1t will possibly be next year before
this happens but it is coming and &
lot of other things that will assist
you in improving your community. .
Touching the coal question he
predicted that next winter would be
a repetition of last but that the r.
r. company would do all they coulo
to relieve the situation.
All in all his visit was greatly
enjoyed by those whose good for.
tune it was to spend the Afternoon
with him and when you see the
ready and able manner that he
handles any and all questions tina
in any manner affect this territory
it is easy to understand why he
has risen to the position he now
holds. Come again Mr.. Olmstead
you are always welcome.
