TWO MEN COMPARED.

Ii Dubois is nominated by the
Democratic party for governor
and Brady is nominated by the
Republicans for the same office,
the two candidates will present a
great. contrast and one cannot
help but be beneficial to the Re-
publican party. The one is a
"knocker," the other a"booster;"
one is an iconoclast, the other a
builder; one is a pessimist, the
other an optimist. Dubois will
be telling the people of the nation
that Idaho is controlled by a
church and undesirable to livein;
Brady would be proclaiming the
fact that Idaho is the greatest
state in the Union and inviting
all to come here; Dubois would
be giving his attention to issues
that are dead; Brady would be
discussing questions that every
citizen is interested in; Brady has
shown his magnanimous nature
by laying down his own ambi-
tions for the sake of party har-
mony. Dubois has demonstrated
his selfishness by placing his own
desire above the party's interests.
Dubois whole desire would be to
build up and strengthen Fred I.
Dubois; Brady's ambition would
be to build up and strengthen the
state of Idaho. Dubois would
attempt to engender discord and
discomfort; Brady would try to
unite all in working for Idaho's
interests. But the greatest con
trast between these two gentle
men, if they are nominated by
their respective parties, will be
their countenances the morning
after election. Brady will be
wearing a smile that willindicate
that he has not been elected by d
"close margin," but a handsome
majority that tells him that by
far the greatest number OF Ida
hos citizens have confidence in
him, while Dubois will be wearing
a frown which will disclose the
fact that he realizes that politi-
cally he has gone to that bourne
from which no dead politician re-
turns. However, he will have
the consolation Of knowing he is
not the only Idaho politician
there. -Malad Enterprise.

DUBOIS GUNS SPIKED.

Ii the people Of Idaho ever had
any idea that Ex-senator Dubois
raised the Mormon issue as a.
matter Of principle, they should
carefully read Congressman Bur
ton L. French's open letter to
that gentleman. Itshows clearly
and beyond controversy that the
senator had nothing but good
words for the Mormon people
when they were not opposed to
him. When he was in danger of
dropping out Of the limelight it
would seem that he cast about
for something to bolster up his
waning political fortunes, and
concluded that an attack upon
the Mormon church would best
serve his purpose. In this he
made no better guess than he did
when he forsook the republican
party in the belief that freesilver
was to be a winner. His little
day is over, but yet it isinterest-
ing to recall some of the things
he said a few years ago in the
light OF his present utterances.
Mr.. French has gone to the pains
Of digging into the Congressional
Record and among other things
finds Mr.. Dubois on Feb. 5, 1908,
saying:
Il live among those Mormon
people, and, SO far as | know, in
Idaho there has not been poly
gamus marriage celebrated since
the Manifesto was issued, and
have yet to find man in Idaho
or anywhere else who will say
that a polygamus marriage has
been celebrated anywhere since
the issuance Of that Manifesto"
Again on Feb. 13, OF the same
year, the Congressional Records
shows that MIR. Dubois said:
Gas one Of the representatives
OF a state where the Mormons are
one-fourth Of the people | join
with the senator from Utah, who
is in part "a representative of a
state where three-fourths are
Mormons, in saying that there is
no polygamy, that is new poly
gamy, in those parts Of thecoun-
try. | doubt if the gentlemen on
the other side are sincere inquib-
bling over this proposition. -

The spider-Weh FalIacy.

Among the many fallacies connected
with first aids to the injured is one
that it is good to use cobwebs to stop
Il cut from bleeding. One may thus
stop bleeding, but the last state of the
man who was losing blood will prob
ably be worse than the first, for, de-
clareS Prof. Ackermanu in his book on
Popular Fallacies," one could scarcely
get anything more likely to cause blood
poisoning or other disease than the dirt
with which cobwebs are infested He
quotes several instances of the harm
done by following this spider-web fall
lacy.
AS child happened to cut its finger
with sharp penknife, its father en-
deavored to stop the bleeding of the
wound by binding it up with cobwebs,
practice which would be more hon
for nearly a month later the child de
velOped typical symptoms of tetanus
or lockiaw. 1t was proved beyond doubt
that the spiders web was responsible
for the mischief.
The dressing of wounds with salt or
tobacco is equally wrong. These falla-
cies become so established as to have
the weight of truth with many persons
but are not to be treated seriously, al
though Ito unlearn is harder than to
learn even with people who know that
in emergencies of this kind cleanliness
is of the first Importance

The Campaign Back Home.

You remember, though, that when the
whole long line of torches got into
Main street you wondered why it didn't
make everything as bright as day.
They must have had a thicker kind of
darkness at night in those times. 1t
soaked up more light! You wouldn't
believe tit was only when they got
right close to you that you could see
the tin cans of the torches wabbling in
the crotches of the slaves, and the red
and white and blue oilclOth caps of the
different companies; and only when
they were right in front of Richard
sons could you recognize the boys you
knew walking along with their pas,
holding hands with them, or else cling
ing to their cape-cOrners. Other boys
pas let them march; it was a funny
thing you couldn't ever get to go. Mud
up to your knees-nothing You'd looK
where YOU were going.
But even if we could not march and
go help our side win, we could cheer
and wave our handkerchiefs and hope
our side would win. 1t almost always
did. 1t could all the time, but it got to
be such Il sure thing that sometimes
the Republicans would say, "Oh, l
guess I'll stay home and clean out the
furnace. They don't need my vote"
and that time the Democrats would
win.-Eugene Wood, in Success Maya

They Wanted Wa -es.

The conductor of an orchestra who
wanted to engage his soloists last year
with as little expense as possible, finds
that it has not been as easy to make
this season the same satisfactory ar
He offered the artists as
fee a certain share of the gross re-
ceipts. When the soloists accepted this
arrangement they did not know the
small size of the receipts usually. When
one popular player got $40 as his
share, however the bubble burst.
1T was not my fault that you re-
ceived so little" said the conductor IF
there had been more people anxious to
hear you there would have been larg-
err audience and your share would have
been more. So long as you did not
draw the money. l don't see why l
should be called on to pay you any
more"
This artist, discounted, as he was, at
the time. felt that he must have a very
strong hold on the public heart when
he heard of another soloist who re-
ceived less than $50 as his fee.

is exceIling itself this year. The yield
and quality are both phenomenal, as
has been the weather for its harvest
ing. Forty bushels is a common yield,
and many fields go up to 80, 60 and
over, and most of it No. 1 Northern.
Even last year, which was less favor
able, similar yields were in some cases
obtained, but owing to the season the
quality was not so good. 1t is prob
ably safe to say that the average yield
from the Old Mans River to the boun-
dairy will be Al or AZ bushels per
acre, and mostly No 1 Northern. One
man has just made a net profit from
his crop of S19.55 per acre, or little
less than the selling price of land
when a crop or two will pay for it,
and a failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, also stock and
dairying and there is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British
Columbia, for the abundant hay of the
district, and poultry, pork and garden
truck. Coal is near and cheap. Jim
Hill has an eye on its advantages, and
has invested here, and is bringing the

The wheat, oat and barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers of that country (and many of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises US that he will be pleased
to give information to all who desire
it about the new land regulations by
which a settler may now secure 160
acres in addition to his $50 homestead
acres, at $500 an acre, and also how
to reach these lands into which rail
ways are being extended. 1t might be
interesting to read what is said Of that
country by the editor of the Marshall
(Minn.) News Messenger, who made
a trip through portions Of it in July,
1908. Passing through more than
three thousand miles of Western Can
ada's agricultural lands, touring the
northern and southern farming belts
of the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskat-
chewan and Alberta, with numerous
drives through the great grain fields,
we were made to realize not only the
magnificence of the crops, but the mag
nitude, in measures, of the vast terri
tory opening, and to, be opened, to
farming immigration. There are hun
dreds of thousands of farmers there
and millions of acres under cultivation,
but there is room for millions more,
and other millions of acreage avail
able. We could see in Western Can
ada in soil, product, topography or
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting at every
point many business men and farm
ers who went there from this state, 1t
was difficult to realize one was beyond
the boundary of the country"
