LEANNESs IN MISSOURI.

There is sadness in fertile and pro-
life Missouri. 1t was thought that the
turkey crop there would be a record
breaker this year, and that the swarms
of seventeen-year locusts would solve
the turkey food problem. But now It is
discovered that the turkeys are not
fattening on the ioeusts, but are run
ming off their fat trying to catch them.
Too bad. The condition Of the Rhode
Island turkeys, the grandest one of
which always goes to cheer and
strengthen the President Of the United
States on Thanksgiving Day, has not
been made known yet and perhaps It
may therefore be assumed to be good.
At any rate. they are not made lean
by chasing evasive locusts. One year
such of them as lived near the Con-
necticut border were made exceeding
fat by coming over the line and eating
the tobacco worms which fourished in
Connecticut that year, That year was a
good year for Rhode Island turkeys and
a bad year for Connecticut tobacco
worms. The Connecticut turkey, and es-
pecially the Litehf1eld County variety,
always has good year, as an inspec-
ton of the butchers stands at any
Thanksgiving time will show.

Col. Thomas Hamer's candicy
for Congress Is announced by the
Rexburg Standard. The Standard
says:
Eat the meeting of the Eastern
Idaho Press club held at Pocatello
Sunday last, the Standard force had
the privilege of hearing Col. Avery G
Moore of Kootenai county and Major
Fred r. Reed of American Falls ad-
dressed as our future congressman. ;
We had to smile at the pleasantries
INDUCED in at that happy gathering.
and would not rob these gentlemen
Of the honors they are temporarily
enjoying for the world. But it is the
Standards happy fortune to an
nounce this week that Fremont's ia
vored son, Colonel Thomas r. Ha-
mer, known from one end OF the Gem
state to the other, Is in the field for
congress, to succd Hon. Burton l..
French. and that we have taken of
our coat and rolled up our sleeves
and intend to work increasingly until
his nomination and election is secur-
ed. Our candidate has a military
title which was won on the field of
battle, through his heroism, bravery
and loyalty, to the flag.
"Collonel Hamer needs no intro
duction to the peoole of Idaho. Cam
paign after campaign he has travelled
all over our state in the interests Of
good government and safe principles.
He has had worthy ambitions on sew
eral occasions to I'LL positions of hon.
or and emolument within the gift Of
the people, but has as often given
away for harmony In his party and
the success of Its ticket. The time
has now come when the people are
going to reward him. and the Stan
dard calls upon all good and true
Republicans throughout Fremont
county and southeastern Idaho from
this time, henceforth to sound the
slogan: "Hamer for congress! Ha-
mer for congress!"

i, SHOULD CLEAN UP.

| Caldwell Is preparing to entertain
the members of the l. o. o. F. grand
lodge, and also preparing for the
Canyon County fair. The people of
this city should see to 1t that their
yards, alleys, streets and vacant lots
are well cleaned up. It is not one
moment too soon to start on this
Work. The various entertainment
committees are preparing elaborate
programs. There Is no doubt but
that our distinguished visitors will
have an enjoyable time. But we
want to do more than that. We want
to show the visitors a clean town.
morally and physically. We want to
leave q lasting impression upon their
minds. We want them to be 30 taken
UP with Caldwell that each and every
one of them win want to remain in
this city; that they will want to invest
here; that those who do not decide to
make. their homes in Caldwell, will
go away fully convinced of Caldwell's
goodness and greatness. Caldwell
intends getting one or more of the
great political conventions next year.
and the only way to get them is to
show those who come now that they
can be properly entertained. Cald-
well must put her best foot forward.
Every thing is favorable. The peo-
pie can well afford to devote a little
extra effort to the Odd Fellows. Let
the people get In and work. Let
us present to the Odd Fellows a neat.
clean. attractive city. The good re-
suits that will follow will repay us
thousand times over.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Two things of public interest and
Importance will occur within the
next three weeks. All of us may at
odd times invite and. solicit the i'm
migration of desirable citizens, and
the establishment of new industries
in this community. but when all is
said and done, the permanent pros
perity of Caldwell must rest upon the
public schools. We do not care what
our, city government may be; we do
notcare what private schools may be
founded: we do not care what preach
ers may say or what prophets may
foretell; the permanent welfare OF
Caldwell depends upon the standard
Of Enthusiastically II you wish
of the commonality Of the people OF
Caldwell. The Tribune never had
much respect for the efficacy of city
ordinances or state laws. We have
no more today. We never cared for
sposmatic crpsades against vice. and
have never seen them accomplish
much good. The injection of honesty,
temperance and general morality by
means of village councils or state leg
islatures. has about as much effect
ON the general public, as would the
application of mustard plaster to a
wooden leg. But there is q means of
moral redemption that can be sue
cessfuily utilized. The public school
is the place to train the mind. devel-
op the character and arouse the man
hood OF the yoath of community.
September the third an election will
be held for the purpose of electing
three trustees for this school district.
We understand that j. B. Gowen, o.
", Bailey and p. E. Engel are men
toned for these positions. These
men have children attending the pub
lie schools. They are vitality inter-
CSsC0 an tuciT WoiidTo. 1ncy are
good substantial men. The Tribune
would be pleased to see these three
men elected to I'LL the vacancies In
the Board Of Trustees. II those men
are elected we trust and believe that
they will have the courage and man
lood to forever abolish corporal pun
ishment. Corporal punishment is the
sole biemish upon Caldwelrs public
school sytem. It is a disgrace to
civilization. It cannot be justified at
all. 1t Is q blight. a disgrace. a

A SUGGESTION.

The Tribune has noted with pleas
ure that the southern Idaho editorial
association has Just held most sue
cessful meeting at Pocatello. This
Organization Is composed of news
aper men, who would be a credit to
any state. They are doing a great
work for themselves and for Idaho,
and all of their meetings have proven
successful. The Tribune wishes it
was one of them. We would like to
associate with men who are capable
of conducting such papers as are
found in the southeast part of the
state. We have not been invited, but
one of these times we are going to
butt In and attend one their meetings.
Counting out The Tribune, we be-
lieve hat the newspapers of Idaho will
compare favorable with those of any
state in the Union. The Tribune
would suggest that the newspapers of
Canyon county meet during fair week
and organize, and If possible connect
ourselves with the papers of south
east Idaho. If they don't want us,
we can have little organization of
our own. The great good accom-
plished by the southern editors.
shows what can be done. We trust
that the Canyon county newspapers
will give this matter little thought
