MRS ABRAM BANKS.

Mrs Abram Banks, the oldest W om-
 an living in Greenfield, celebrated the
 93d anniversary of her birth by holding
 a family reunion at her home here,
 Monday. Among the guests present
 were MT and Mrs Geater Brush, Mrs
 Eugene Sellick and Miss Emma Sellick of Danbury; Henry C. Raymond and
 family of Black Rock and Mrs Horace Raymond and Mrs David Smith of this place. Mrs Banks was born within a mile of her present home June 15. 1915. She is the mother of nine child ren, eight of whom are living, and she also enjoys the companionship of 14 grandchildren and one great grand child, the last mentioned being Master Henry Pierson Banks, the infant son of MT and Mrs Everett r. Banks of this place. She carries her 93 years very lightly, rbeing remarkably well pre- served and is seldom inconvenienced by the infirmities of old age. She walks about as sprightly as a school girl, re- tains her mental faculties we'll, is phy- sicially sound as dollar and promises to round out full century of happy existence in the place of her nativity.
 The marriage of Miss Charlotte Bradley, youngest daughter of MT and Mrs Thomas Bradley of Deerfeld, and Louis J. Olds, son of MT and Mrs Will liam ii. Olds, of Greenfield Hill, was solemnized at the home of the brides partents, Tuesday evening, at 7.30. Rev w. H. Cane, now of Bridgeport, united the pair. After the wedding feast, which followed the ceremony, the happy couple left on the 9.36 train for New York, to reside in Brooklyn in the near future. Both of the con- tracing parties are we'll known among the younger social set of Greenfield ] Hill both are deservedly popular, and the heartiest feIicitations of host of friends are extended to them together with sincere wishes for long and pros- porous welded life.
 Mrs A. J. Hull, who is undergoing treatment for chronic lung trouble at a New Canaan sanitarium, is said to be rapidly regaining her former health.
 Children's day exercises were held at | the Congregational church here, last Sunday evening. An unusually fine we'll rendered by the Sunday school juveniles, was greatly enjoyed y large and appreciative audience.

1T HASN'T COST A CENT.

The people of Caldwell are the best
on earth. They are enterprising and
public spirited and have unbounded
confidence in the town. On the whole
you could not find their equal any
where. Once in while they become
little fretful and impatient. We
don't blame them for wanting to see
things move, but we urge them to ex-
ercise patience. In the matter of the
Golden Gate railroad we would urge
them to be calm. This is big under.
taking. Many unforeseen things are
constantly arising to occasion delay.
The Tribune cannot tell what is COM
ing up from day to day, but common
sense teaches us that in an enterprise
Of the magnitude of this railroad, de-
lays are bound to come. Thus far the
railroad has not cost the people cent.
The officers have spent thousands of
dollars in and around Caldwell. They
have spent some thousands in. adver-
Using Caldwell and surrounding
country, and they have not asked for
nickle's worth of assistance from
Caldwell. Should Messrs. Place, Bin
ford and their associates pack their
grips tomorrow morning and leave
forever, the town could never repay
them for what they have already
done. They have acted in good faith
and are entitled to every assistance
the people of Caldwell can possibly
render them. At least they are en-.
titled to our encouragement and
good will.
AS to how soon the road will be in
operation, The Tribune cannot say
We may rest assured that the officers
Of the road are not here for their
health. They are moving as fast as
they can, and we have no kick coming
1t hasn't cost cent and we can afford
to wait. The road will be built in due
time, and If we mistake not, that will
be right soon.

see the Democrats harmonic. They
will lose whether they do or not, but
united they might possibly hoodwink
the people into electing a Democratic
state administration. People are ma
turally prone to forget. They may
have forgotten the last Democratic
administration. We think they have
not We are willing to take chances
on that provided the Democrats will
get together. 1t would do our heart
good to see John F. Nugent, Fred T.
Dubois and John G. Rice gathered to-
gather in one harmonious meeting.
Mr.. Nugent could tell how he spent so
much money two years ago, Senator
Dubois could tell about the Jack Nor
mons, and Mr.. Rice could eulogize the
law and order element. 1t would be
worth while. The Tribune proposes
another rally.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

The big Democratic rally and rati-
fication meeting was pulled off on
schedule time at Boise. AS far as we
can learn the long-predicted har-
mony failed to materialize. We note
that the Idaho delegation to Denver
were not overly prominent in the af-
fair. 1t seems pity that after the
delegates should go to Denver and
thus spend their time and money in
nominating the Peerless Leader"
that they should be denied a chance
to duly ratify him. 1t could have done
no harm for all the Democrats to have
Joined in the ratification. There are
not so many of them in Idaho that
they need have feared a deluge. We
fear that the Idaho Democracy is be-
yond redemption. The opponents of
Senator Dubois are too jealous. They
are striving too earnestly to secure in
dividual success rather than the sue
cess of Democratic principles. 1t is
no longer question of what princi-
pies Of government are truly Demo-
cratic and for the best interests of the
people. The sole thing is what policy
can we adopt to secure success" The
opponents of Senator Dubois advance
the sole argument against him that
twice he has lead the party to defeat.
The same charge can be made against
William Jennings Bryan. The Tribune
cannot see how the charge should be
to the detriment of either. They are
probably both honest and sincere
From all indications the majority OF
the Democrats in Idaho trust and be-
lieve in both. 1t seems to us that the
leaders of the anti-Dubois movement
had better flock to his standard. The
Tribune is frank enough to confess
that it is not particularly anxious to

ago and would be only too glad to
espouse his cause, but the machine
was In the control of the antis and
they had no other course to follow
but to submit.
1t is said that Carl Geisler, the
present county treasurer, would like
to assess the county, and he would not
decline the Office, even If there should
be an anti-Mormon plank in the state
platform. Mr.. Geisler's home is in
Payette and the chances are that the
republican nominee will also come
from there.
The Office of sheriff, it is said, is
sought after by two. D. o. Castator of
Parma and Billie Parrish OF Caldwell
Mr.. Castator is the present town mar
shall of his home town and is a close
friend of Mark Bates, and that will
count for something when it comes to
securing the nomination. Besides, he
claims that Sheriff Thorp injected the
virus in his system which gave him
the fever for the office. This may or
may not be true. The Canyon coun-
ty sheriff is very smooth article and
his bump of caution is we'll developed.
Mr.. Parrish is the head deputy in the
sheriff's Office and he caught the con-
tagion from that source. He did good
work for his chief two years ago and
it is not likely that his principal will
go back on him this year when it
comes to coping off the nomination.
However, it will make no difference,
as the loser at the convention will be
the gamer, for neither of them would
be elected.
The republicans will carry Canyon
county by from $500 to 1000 majority
this fall. Just paste that in your hat
for future reference.

Miss Laura Patterns announcement
for county superintendent, subject to
the decision of the republican county
convention, appears in this issue of
the Tribune. Miss Patton will need
no introduction to the voters of this
part of the country, where she has
lived since girlhood and taught school
for twelve years. Miss Patton has had
practical experience in teaching in all
the grades, and has been principal in
two graded schools, one OF two rooms
and one of three, and holds life GER
tificate from the Lewiston State Nor
NAL. Should the republicans Of Gao
yon county decide that she is their
choice, the election will be over, all
but the cheering.

Just how the democrats of Idaho
can figure out victory this fall, is
beyond the powers of the ordinary
mortal. 1t is an admitted fact, that
If conditions were normal, the chances
for winning are three to one against
them. There is nothing to give them
They can not refer
with pride" to the past democratic
administrations, for there is nothing
with which they would care to refresh
the memories of the people with. They
will lose with an anti-Mormon plank
and they are doubly sure to lose with
out one. Two years ago many of their
speakers lugged huge volumes of the
Congressional Records, with which to
prove the perfidy of the Mormons, and
failed to convince the voters, and this
year the same speakers, with the ex-
ception of Dubois, will tell the same
audiences that there was nothing to
their talk of two years ago; that the
Mormons are all right. They may
fool some of the democrats some of
the time, but they will never succeed
in fooling all the democrats all the
time.

Hearst's Opinion of Bryan.

Hearst is the largest newspaper
owner in the United States, and one
whose opinions and advice have been
followed for years by the democrats
of the west. He gives expression to
his feelings regarding the nomination
of Bryan in the following language,
which appeared in the Chicago Ameri-
can:
THE platform adopted by the demo-
cratic party is nothing but compro-
mise between the absolute will Of
Bryan and the willingness ON Bryan's
part to dicker with his own principles
recently made known to the public.
mo reliance can be placed on the
democratic platform or Bryan's decla-
rations. The democratic platform de-
clares for one set of principles at one
election and for an entirely different
set at the next election, while Bryan is
apparently without permanent princi-
pie or sincere conviction, or even hon
est attitude.
"A note is a promise to pay. 1t Is
valuable according to who makes it
and who endorses it. A platform is a
promise to perform, and a platform
made by the democratic party and en-
dorsed by Mr.. Bryan is not worth the
paper it is written on.
THE democratic party has become
a weather-cock of what its inferior
leaders imagine to be the expression
of public opinion.
ut reflects the corporation instinct
and servility Of Parker, and it is
ready at the next moment to reflect
the half-baked, ill-matured opinions
OF some imaginary radical.
"The democracy of Bryan and Tag
CART and others, with its changing
principles, its shifting platform, and
its chameleon candidates, is not the
democracy of Jefferson, who wrote the
Declaration of Independence, who
lived by his principles, and stood by
them"
While the democrats laugh over the
prospects of fooling the labor vote,
and get its support for Bryan, and
twit the republicans about losing the
negro vote. But the support of the
Hearst syndicate of papers would be
infinitely of more benefit to the party
than all other elements combined.
Not because that everything which APP
pears in the Examiner, American or
Journal is true. but because thousands
Of readers have been taught that any
thing appearing in those papers is
pure democracy, and it will take sew
eral years before they can be induced
to think differently. The above an
alysis of the democratic platform by

SOME POLITICS.

There Is perceptible movement on
the surface Of the political waters of
Canyon county regarding the nomi
nations for county officers; especially
is this true in the republican ranks,
and this is a good ahgery for victory
in the coming election. Already there
are four candidates for the state SEN
ate. two for county superintendent,
two for assessor and one for treas
urer.
So far as the democrats are con-
cerned, there appears to be a feeling
OF uncertainty, which will not be
cleared up until after the Wallace
convention<and it is known which
wing Of the party is entitled to the
name. If ex-senator Dubois wins out,
his ticket will be entitled to the name
Of democrat, and the defeated wing
will have to take some other name for
the head of their ticket. For this rea-
son, would-be candidates are not
tumbling over each other to let their
wants be known. The leaders in Cam
yon county are governed by what &C
ton is taken in Ada county, otherwise
Dubois would have a much stronger
following here, for there is no doubt
but there are hundreds Of democrats
In this county who favor standing by
the platform of two and four years
