FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1908.
RESOLVED.

Resolved, at the beginning of
this year we will make it surpass
its recent predecessor in the ma
terial progress made in the "Gem
of the Mountains state. This
will be no easy undertaking, af-
ter what the Empire Builders
accomplished last yearin the way
of retaining our arid deserts;
making waste places productive;
establishing new homes; increas-
ing our population by bringing
hither the most desirable peo-
pie, improving our towns and
cities and doing so many other
things that were on the lines of
real progress. But they have
only really begun, and we should
have the courage to keep on.
Our recourses have merely been
discovered, not drawn upon to
any considerable extent. The
two great government reclama-
ton projects now in a fair way
OF being carried to completion,
and the dozen or more compan-
les which are undertaking to
carry out projects toreclaim and
improve lands under the Carey
Act have only opened the eyes of
the people to the extent of the
agricultural possibilities of our
state. There will be no haulting
along this line SO long as invit-
ing projects are to be found, or
until Idaho has been made al
most the most productive agri-
cultural state amongst them all.
And then, again, there are our
mineral resources, scarcely
touched; our timber lands; our
stock-growing industries; our
unused water powers, capable of
turning the wheels of a thous-
and industries, many of them
new and yet unthought of.
Why should not Idaho keep on
growing, developing and pros
pering? And why should not
the resolution with which this
brief article was begun meet the
hearty approval of all?
Let everyone strive to be with
the Empire Builders during this
year, 1908.

EDUCATIONAL ADDRESS.

hAc1OtC W NioS ~ 1CAhC Ouc1AAlO CA-
lain, superintendent of public in
struction of Idaho, to the State
Teachers's association, just met
in Boise. In reviewing the bene-
fits to the state of the annual
meetings of this association,
Miss Chamberlain says among
other things:
'It has been wells said, An ignor-
ant people canbe governed, but only
an educated people can govern
Under our system of political or
ganization we must govern our
selves; consequently demand on
the part of the educators of the
state for better equipment and bet
ter salaries, also a demand on the
part of the patrons for profession
ally trained teachers, should not be
considered merely cry of the dis
contented and dissatisfied.
"More than $4,000 Idaho school
childrenl Nearly 1000 Idaho teach
ersl About one-third of Idaho's
population eligible to the school
rooml Such, though small COM
pared with older states, is the
standing army and its officers
which levy war on ignorance. idle
ness and crime which menace So
ciety Of this state.
"It is our duty to so teach that
each year brings the boys and girls,
the young men and young women
nearer to good citizenship. Some
must enter the busy world from the
grades, others from the high schools,
and smaller part from the col
leges, the technical and profession
al schools. Each of these schools
must be finished schools. They
must prepare those under their
care to do something in the world
of affairs. If we have such sys-
tenn and can convince our patrons
that we have, all will be we'll. If
we have not reached that degree of
perfection let us lose no time; ferret
the cause. We can certainly find
it.
"We are relcaiming a continent
and training it to the purposes of
man. The mighty energies of the
republic now send their pulsations
tions around the world. Prepare
for the year to come. The pyra-
mids of Egypt are the tombs of
forgotten kings. Almost within
their shadow the English are build
ing system of irrigation to util-
ize the surplus overflow of the Nile
and equalize its cratic energies
wasted through the centuries. The
work of the British engineers on
the Nile is far greater than that of
the Pharoahs on the pyramids.
Their work stands as a monu-
ment to the living not one to the
dead. The school will share the
glory of the future years. It will
strive with unwearicd hands in the
work of nation building.

best books in literature, history and

Free Advice to Mr.. prouty.

1t looks as though the Prouty cam.
paign' is being poorly managed. First
his friends undertook to tell the state
that a word painted cinder-sifter was
platform deserving of being taken
seriously. Then came that silly,
abortive attempt to make out that
Rugged Old Mountaineer Zed Stan
ton, ex-freight brakeman and ex-farm
hand, Is q tool OF the corporations.
That failed and they are now foun-
dering around in deep water like a
cake. OF soap In washing machine,
not knowing whether they are com.
Ing cor going.
In sheer pity OF their apparent
helplessness we are going to suggest
a new line for the Prouty campaign
that will at least put It back on the
dry land Of self respect. Let his
friends point out the fact. which is
true, that Vermont has made more
progress during the past FIVE years
than In the previous twenty-five. and
that this progress has been largely
due to the fact that new and young
er set Of men have come into control
OF state affairs. All the candidates
on the state ticket two years ago were
comparatively young men. They dar-
ed insist that the state get out of the
old rut, which It did and is steadily
profiting therefrop.
Mr.. Prouty, with all his faults, be-
longs to the new and active push. Mr.
Stanton, with all his merits, belongs
to the old crowd. Why not face the
east and go ahead, knowing that we
|shAll make some mistakes, but with
an open mind and willing to correct
wrongs and errors and at the same
tine pushing forward.
Mr.. Prouty favors reform of justice
courts and the entire wiping out Of
the fee system. He is In favor Of
spending the state highway tax in
building real state roads instead of
farming II out among the small towns
to be largely frittered away. Mr.. Prou-
ty fayors an amendment to the consti-
tuition which will render It open
to amendment instead OF sealing 1t up
with time-lack as ct present.
These are onlyra few OF the good
and sensible things which Mr.. Prouty
favors-if we are informed correctly.
There are many others on which the
Banner believes 1t would be wiser,
better and many times more promis-
Ing Of success to rely than to squabble
over personalities or to wade around
In desert of ponderOus platitudes.
The Banner makes no charge for
these suggestions to the Prouty man
ayers. They are gratuitous. We
merely would like to see the battle
fought out with modern weapons rath-
er than with bows and arrows.
