A COWARDLY LIE.

An article appears elsewhere in this
issue urging Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike to pay no attention to
stories circulated at the last hour. In
its issue Thursday morning, the Boise
Statesman, Democratic, claims that
steps are being taken to bring suit
against State Treasurer Hastings.
This lie is on a par with the usual
contemplate policy of the Boise
Statesman. Let any decent self-re-
speeding man or woman ask himself
or herself, why the publication of this
lie was delayed until five DAYS before
election? If any such step were being
taken the Statesman should have TAX
en- them a month or three months ago
NO new developments, except the COM
piete exhonoration of Mr.. Hastings.
has occurred within the past three
months. The Statesman knew all It
does know, three months ago. Yet at
this time, in the hopes of prejudicing
some persons, 1t resorts to the most
cowardly and contemptuous method
any newspaper ever uses. The people
today are intelligent and well inform
ed, and consequently cannot be hood
winked by this ancient method of de-
self. No self-respecting newspaper
would resort to such methods. No
Intelligent voter would believe such
lies. The people of Idaho are honest
and Intelligent. They love fair play,
and in our humble opinion, they will
deal the Boise Statesman and it's gang
such rebuke, that they will not soon
again resort to such nefarious
schemes. Treasurer Hastings has
complied with the law. He has been
an honest, conscientious and capable
ohicer. Because he would not bow
down to the Boise gang, whose pro-
phet is the Statesman, he at once be-
came subject to its attacks. Mr.. Has
lungs had the manhood to stand ont
III the firm conviction that he was
right. We think that patriotic citizens
approve of his course and will SUD-
port him as long as he proves faith
tul to his trust.

cation composed Of Messrs. James Nc
MILAN, W. p. Guthrie, John F. Hansen,
George L. Crocker, and H. T. West, of
Twin Falls, Idaho. They visited Port
land and other cities to get pointers on
the building of a $150,000 court house.
No delegation that has honored this
city in recent years received a more
hearty welcome, and all the newspa-
pers contained elaborate accounts of
the visit.
Twice during the last two months
the most centrally located windows of
the department store of Olds, Wort
man & King, at the corner of Fifth
and Washington streets, the business
center of Portland, have been filled

The first was a display of peaches
which attracted much attention; fol-
lowing this was most artistically

were served upon the tables of the
Portland Commercial club yesterday
to almost five hundred business men
who had assembled for luncheon.
Idaho is doing her full part toward
making the Northwestern portion of
the United States the best known sec
ton of country, and with each succeed
ing month it is becoming more gem
orally appreciated that her farmers
and horticulaurists are adding millions
of dollars to the wealth of the state
and the country at large.
Oregon and Idaho are closely allied
in the work of improving the Snake
and Columbia rivers, and probably the
most widely quoted meeting held dur
ing the last three months, as judged
from the newspaper columns, was the
recent session of the Idaho and Ore
gon Development League at Rose
burg, Oregon.

something to add to the greatness of
the general display.
But after all the above description,
it is in the livestock department where
the greatest progress is being made.
Many of the same people who showed
last year exhibited again and almost
invariably their stock was in better
fix and they had better stock. All the
classes were large, the increase in
sheep being especially noticeable And
the cattle were so much better as we'll
as more of them, that the absence of

was special attraction last year, was
not as noticeable as otherwise. The

mile long.

people of the country are planning
still larger things for the future
The association has wisely made
racing a secondary feature and has
given most of the purses for county
harness races. They allowed pool
selling this year, but | was informed
by some of the management that they
did not intend to allow it next year,
believing the effect bad on the racing
and on the morals of the youth of the
county. But they hope to get into
minor circuit and hang up some good
purses.

DON'T FORGET.

The people of Caldwell are, at pres
ent' congratulating themselves upon
securing the Odd Fellows Home for
caldwell. The chief credit for this is
due Hon. NJ. B. Gwinn. However
among the warm friends of Caldwell
was Hon. D. C. McDougall, Republican
nominee for attorney general and Hon.
3 d, Taylor, Republican nominee for
state auditor. Both these gentlemen
were on the committee appointed to
investigate the offer made by Mr..
Gwinn and other men. They stood by
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1908-10-31
LEST WE FORGET.

Not many years ago. in fact the very
year In which he was first nominated
for governor of Idaho, Mr.. Calvin
Cobb, proprietor of the Boise States
man, thought Hon. Frank r. Gooding
Sc low, so mean SO contemplate, that
he refused to receive a committee of
which Mr.. Gooding was a member.
This committee consisted of Republic
cans appointed by the Republican
state central committee, at one of it's
meetings. Prior to the meeting of the
Republican state central committee,
four years ago, the Statesman, with
the full knowledge and consent of Mr..
Cobb, had used it's every influence to
show the people what cur Frank r.
Gooding was. 1t hated him. 1t ridi-
culed him. BY Mr. Cobb's action he
showed that in his opinion Mr.. Good
ing was not fit man for any decent
man to meet. But what change!
Since that time Mr.. Gooding has be-
come paragon of gentility and vir-
tue. He is now statesman. He is
now man whom any man can meet
with credit and profit to himself, and
that is true. However, Gooding has
not changed. He was as good four
years ago as he is today. He was a
good, honest capable man then, not
withstanding the opinion of the Boise
Statesman. The Statesman has had a
change of heart.
We call attention to the above for
one reason only. Today the Boise
sheet Is making cowardly and con-
temptible fight on some Republicans.
Thus far it has not said worse things
or these Republicans, than it said four
years ago about Mr.. Gooding. Time,
or something else, has convinced the
Statesman that it was wrong in its
estimate of Mr.. Gooding. Time, if
time can do it, will be the sole thing
that will again show that paper it's
errors. The people should remember
what the Statesman is. Lest we for
get, we should remind ourselves that
10 confidence should be placed in a
paper of the financial fickleness of the
Statesman. Mammon is and always
was it's god. The people should not
forget this. They should pay no at
tention to it's false alarm. Do not
forget it's past.

A LAST WORD.

The present campaign has been con-
Quoted on broad, liberal grounds. With
few-very few--exceptions there has
been no mud singing, no dirty poll
tics, on either side. The Republicans
have freely admitted the political in
tegrity, moral championship and per-
feet competency OF their opponents
on the Democratic ticket. Not to be
outdone In generosity, the Democrats
have just as freely admitted the same
traits of character in the Republican
nominees. In fact, all parties and
all candid citizens acknowledge that
the nominees on the two tickets are
honest, upright and competent in
every respect. The little bushwhack-
ing that has been done is due to ire
sponsible and unreliable persons,
Their stories are not entitled to cred
ence. This is true of both parties,
We congratulate the people of Canyon
county upon the opportunity to vote
for their political principles with the
full knowledge that by so doing they
are also voting for good men. Under
these circumstances we think that If
we believe in the principles of the
Democratic party as enumerated in
the Denver platform, and as expound-
ed by Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
that We would vote the Democratic
ticket from top to bottom On the
other hand, if we believed in the Re-
publican principles as expressed in
the Chicago platform; as exemplified
by the administration of Theodore
Roosevelt; and as will be continued
by William Howard Taft, we would
vote the Republican ticket straight.
II We believe that the Prohibition
lists or the Socialists, the Populists,
or the Labor Socialists or even the
Independents could solve the problems
better than the candidates and pro-
mote the happiness of the people of
we would certainly vote the
ticket we believed In from top to bot
tom. Under present conditions the |
can have no excuse for |
their ticket. The Demo- |
rats can have no excuse. Unless po-
itical principle has persisted from the

earth, the people of Canyon county
will vote their party ticket straight.
We urge members of all political par
ties to pay absolutely no attention to
Roorbachs and false alarms gotten up
at the eleventh hour. The candidates
have been before you for several
weeks, and If any of them were moral
degenerates or business incompetents,
you would have heard of 1t before
this. Once again, we urge Republic
cans and Democrats alike to vote for
all the candidates on the ticket in
which he or she believes.

FOR STATE ASSESSOR.
Hon. L. c. Morse of Liberty one of Three
Candidates.

A lively three-cornered fight is now in
progress for member Of the State Board
of Assessors to succeed Hon. Otis G.
Hayford of Canton, who has been a
member of the board since its formation
in 1891, and who is not candidate for
reelection. The law provides that one
of the assessors shall be a member of
the minority party, which is now repre-
sented on the board by Hon. George Pot
tie of Lewiston, whose term will not ex-
pire until 1911.
The candidates are Edwin NJ Johnston
of Brownville, Lucius c. Morse of Liber-
ty and Abial M. Smith of Portland.
Messrs. Johnston and Morse were candi-
dates two years ago, when Hon. William
J. Thompson of South China was elected
to succeed Hon. F. Marion Simpson of
Bangor.
Mr. Morse, who is manufacturer, is
63 years of age and was born in the town
of Belmont, Waldo county, and educated
in the common schools. He has resided
in Liberty since 1867, and during the
Civil War he served in Company B of
the 9th Maine Infantry. Mr.. Morse was
a member of the lower branch OF the
Legislature in 1889 and of the Senate in
1903 and 1905. He was for some years
one of the members of the board of trus-
tees of the State School for Boys, is at
present one of the trustees of the Maine
State Agricultural Society, and belongs
to the Masonic bodies and the Odd Eel
lows.
