GIVE EVERY ONE A CHANCE.
ADDISON Il. SMITH,
Secretary.

Unconsciously we are all tending
toward either socialism or anarchy.
Ever at work are two great forces;
and every man is on one side or the
other. Those two forces are about
evenly divided, and as long as they
remain this government will endure.
AS result of the practical equality
in numbers and energy of the two
forces, middle course is taken and
compromise is the consequence in
all governmental policies. Those
who believe in protection tariffs; pub
lie improvements by the government
as it effects rivers and harbors; in
surance by the government of bank
deposits; forest reserves; reclama-
ton of arid land by the government;
are paternalists and socialists in
tendency. While the other hand

as possible; who want to give every
person an opportunity to work out
his own salvation unassisted and un-
hindered, are as surely turned toward
anarchy. The one looks upon his
fellow man and sees the weakness:
the desire of the strong to Cypress
the weak; the inability Of men to
accomplish the great work as indi-
viduals; and thinks society should
help. One class thinks 1t should helm
to certain point and then stop; a
second goes a step or two farther;
and the Socialist thinks it should do
1t all. On the other hand the second
force sees man in his youth, his |
strugth and his glory-made in the
Image of God. capable and prepared
TO do battle with the evils of the
world and accomplish its work. He
thinks that when the individual is
placed upon his own responsibility,

TWO MEN WHO CAN'T.

The Democratic party in Idaho, if
it were not SO hopelessly divided, has
two men who might make formida-
BILE candidates for governor. Those
two men are Hon. John c. Rice of
Canyon County and Hon. David l..
Evans of Oneida County. These two
men are stanch Democrats, capable
business men and enterprising citi-
zens. They are men who in a large
measure, enjoy the confidence and
respect for the people irrespective of
party or religion, and we know that
religion is a factor in Idaho politics
under the regime of Senator Dubois
in the Democratic party. Mr.. Rice
lives in gentle community, but is
associated with Mormons in business
affairs. He exhibits a tolerance in
religion that is certainly commenda-
Bile. He is able, broad-minded and
conscientious. Mr.. Evans lives in
Mormon community, but is largely
interested with gentilees in business
affairs. He is not Mormon, himself,
but he has lived among them so long
as to appreciate their position, SYM
pathize with their aspirations, and
understand their motives. He is a
man of the people, who has risen to
a position of eminence by sheer force
of character and ability. Either man
would make a good governor. How
ever, the thing that makes Mr.. Rice
impossible, effects Mr.. Evans with
equal force. There is in the Demo-
cratic party three elements. There
is the Dubois element; there is the
anti-Dubois, and anti-dynamite ele-
ment; and there is the anti-Dubois
and pro-dynamite element. How
could either Mr.. Rice or Mr.. Evans
harmonic the party and save his
face? 1t is evident that should Sena-
tor Dubois control the Democratic
convention that neither of the gem
tlemen will be the nominee. Suppose
the other two factors get together,
hOW COulu SlIuST VI Inc gentlemen
stand on platform denouncing Hay
wood, Meyer, and Pettibone and yet
have two or three prominent Fedora
ton sympathizers on the same tick
ct? or vice versa? 1t must be ac-
knowledged that when you come to
harmonic that both sides must make
know, that neither Mr.. Rice nor Mr..
Evans are men who would tolerate
compromise with lawlessness or
anarchy. The Tribune has too much
respect for these gentlemen to think
either of them capable of such an al
lance. The people of Canyon Cunty
know Mr.. Rice and the people of
Oneida County know Mr.. Evans, and
they know that both have such stand
ing as to preclude the nomination of
either at this time. If it must be
Democrat we would like to see one or
the other of the men governor, but
we would hate to see either besmear
their hands in a filthy compromise.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

The energy and enthusiasm of the
people of Caldwell, as expressed and
directed by the Caldwell Commercial
Club. is beginning to bear fruit. The
temporary panic temporarily stayed
the progress of the community. An
unsettled and unsatisfactory financial
condition, no matter how remote,
ever tends to cast gloom over en-
terprise, by making business men
more careful and conservative. This
was the result in practically every
village, town and city IN the country.

Ing institutions layed off men. and
that real but intangible something
known as confidence was lost to the
public. People became afraid of each

py, in the course taken by its banks.
The men in charge of the Caldwell
banks arose to their responsibility
with an ability and courage that was
gratifying indeed, and every man in
this city should deeply appreciate
the fact. Notwithstanding this con-
dition in Caldwell, the fear and
dread of the country at large cast

the sun is shining bright; confidence
is restored; and the prospects are

garden spot. 1t Is now assured that
work on the Golden Gate railroad

the company is advertising for bids
for construction work. This enter
prise will not only give hundreds of
men and teams employment at a re-
munerative wage, but will greatly
strengthen the confidence of the peo-
pie of Caldwell in their city and its
future greatness. 1t is known that
the Boise Valley electric railway is
forth strenuous efforts to
reach Caldwell this summer. 1t is
equally well known that the Boise &
interurban will extend its lines from
Caldwell. These movements will
make Caldwell the junction and
crossing point of two great trunk
lines, and also the center of two
great electric systems. This will give
this city transportation facilities I'M

of these irrigating plants have been
IN operation continuously for more
than $50 years. The water is raised
by means of cumbersome water wheels
operated by the native poems. The
capacity of the buckets on these
wheels is small, but considerable
quantity of water is lifted in the
course of days operation and sew

Less Money to Spend.

The Kansas state officials have near
ly half million dollars less to spend
this fiscal year than in the year end
ing June 80. The legislature appro-
priated s3,437, 1O6.37 for the year just
closed, while the appropriations for
this year are s2,97S,1 80. This differ
ence in appropriation does not neces-
sarily mean that the same difference
will be maintained in expenditures
There are lot of funds appropriated
for emergency purposes which were
lot spent last year and may be spent
this year. The heavy appropriations
for both years is due to the creation
OF two new departments which re-
quire large sums for maintenance
the pure food department and the tax
commission. In addition much new
building is being done by the board
of control at the charitable institu-
tons and by the regents of three state
schools.
