NEPOTIsM.

Some of the great newspapers of
the State like the Boise Statesman
are terribly worried at the alleged
nepotism in the State auditors Office.
Thus far we have not seen any ac-
cusations that Auditor Bragaw's office
8 not in good shape. We understand
that he is particularly we'll qualified
for the work, having had years of
experience. We understand that his
wife and son are also we'll qualified
to do the work required of them.
This being the case the Tribune can
not see any great cause for concern
on the part Of the people. Nepotism
In a case Of this kind, is no heinous
crime. When incompetent, unrelia-
BILE or dishonest, persons secure po-
sitions of responsibility thru ravori-
tism, then nepotism becomes a crime.
morally at least. However the Trib-
une is not well informed and will re-
serve judgment However, Auditor
Bragaw's enemies should make some
more serious charge If they expect
to injure Mr.. Bragaw in the minds OF
the people.

CANYON COUNTY FAIR.

The stockholders of the Canyon
County Fair Association have held
an important meeting within the last
few days. They proceeded to elect
officers and transact such other busi-
ness as came before the meeting. The
Tribune Is pleased to see that the af-
fairs of the association are in such
excellent shape. The present condi-
ton Is due to the officers OF the or
ganization. Mr.. H. d. Andrews has
made a good, capable and energetic
president. He has used judgment in
every particular. The association did
we'll in electing Mr.. Andrews presi-
dent. The vice-president was d. D.
Campbell. Mr.. Campbell has had
years of experience in such enterpris-
es He knows what to expect from
the public as well as what the public
expects. He knows the ms and outs
of such matters. 1t is to his credit
that he is willing to devote large
part of his time and energy to the
public. He has done this for num-
Der of years past and we are conf
dent that he will do the same for
many years to come. He has done
much to make the Canyon County
fair the success It Is. Now comes
that man, ]. b. Gowen. The Tribune
has been laying in ambush for him
for some time. II We ever catch him
mapping We will not hesitate to tell
him what We think of him. Mr..
Gowen has been very good in the
past. He has proved an energetic
and capable secretary. Probably he
is the best in Caldwell. We have a
decent respect for ]. B. Gowen. His
energy and public spirit is past our
understanding. We have now gotten
to that point where a little failure on
his part would be relief. The Tri-
bune is free to confess, however, that
failure on the part of Jess Gowen is
very, very remote possibility. 1t
is so remote that The Tribune has
lost hope. Nothing would do US
more good than to see him fall over
a precipice. He has a happy faculty
of arising to every opportunity. The
association could not help but re-
elect him treasurer. The other off,
GERS Of the fair are equally good men.
They have proved their worth on
many occasions. They have worked
hard for Caldwell, Canyon County
and the fair. We wish them all sue
cess.
The present condition Of the fair

FOR GOVERNOR.

The political pot has started to
boil 80 We are informed. Among
those prominently mentioned for
governor. are Judge Ailshie of the
Supreme Court; the Hon. A. B. Moss
of Payette; the Hon. John T. Morri-
son, of Boise; and the Hon. James
H. Brady of Pocatello. Others that
we know of may be n training. Here
however are four good men, highly
deserving the support of every good
Republican. Judge Ailshie is serving
on his second term as a member of
the Supreme Court. He is a young
man with a clean record, strong,
forceful character and great native
ability. The Hon. A. B. Moss, of
Payette, is a strong man. He is a
business man of wide experience and
great breadth. He was once the Re-
publican nominee for Governor, but
along with a great many other good
Republicans was overcome by the
Populistic tidal wave that swept Ida
no in 1895, 1898 and 1900. The
Hon. John T. MORRISON was the third
Republican Governor the State Of
Idaho ever had. He succeeded Frank
Hunt in 1902 and served two years
as the chief executive of the State.
He Is one Of the foremost lawyers of
Idaho. He is a man of deep learn
ing, broad views, and vast experience.
He was a good governor. He is a
clean, able, upright man. The Hon.
James H. Brady halls from Pocatello.
He is the leading man of southeast
Idaho, and one of the most prominent
men of the State. For four years he
has acted as chairman of the Repub-
ncan State Central Committee. In a
large measure he was responsible for
the success Of the Republican State
ticket. Mr.. Brady is clean and capa-
BILE. He is big man in every re-
spect. He is doing big things for
Idaho. The Tribune does not know
whether or not anyone of the above
mentioned men are candidates or not.
We do know that II any one of them
were nominated that he would be
elected by a handsome majority.
There may be other likely men in
hiding. If so, we will inform our
readers at the earliest opportunity.

thinking men appreciate the fact that
the immigration of Japanese must
stop. All men realize that the jap
anese are very sensitive race and
anything in the way of discrimina-
tion against them will be resented.
Unless the Micado's government takes
steps towards stopping the emigra-
ton to this country WEI must event
ually come. 1t had better come with
in the next year than later. In any
event the true significance of the de-
parture Of the feet is that the Ameri-
can Government is going to be pre-
pared for emergencies.

THE SIGNIFICANCE.

December 10th, an American feet
of 16 battle ships left Hampton
Roads for its long voyage to the Pa
cific coast. The fleet is now at Rio
Janerio, Brazil, having thus accom-
plished practically one-third of its
twelve thousand mile trip. Every
American is asking himself, why was
this remarkable enterprise under
taken. Members of every admiralty
in the world are asking the same
question. The only plausible solu-
ton is that war with Japan Is i'm
pending, IL not imminent. The
American Government does not pro-
pose to be caught mapping as Rus
STA was. If the American feet sue
cessfully passes thru the straight Of
Magellan little danger may be appre-
hended from disaster at sea. AL

is such as to assure success in the fu-
ture. Notwithstanding the effort of
a few men to ruin the organization
and thus gain a momentary advan-
tage. the fair association is in better
condition than ever before. 1t has
an enviable record behind it. 1t has
a glorious future before it. 1t is the
leading organization of its kind in
Idaho. 1t has the brightest prospects
It has the opportunity to move along
with Caldwell, Canyon County and
Idaho. Success to the fair.

COMMERCIAL CLUBS.

Caldwell has a Commercial Club
that is away ahead of anything of its
kind in Idaho. Its officers are pub.
Lie spirited and far-seeing. Its MEM
bers are enterprizing, energetic and
broad minded We are positively
convinced that no organization of the
kind compares with the Caldwell
Commercial Club. The personnel IL
high. The aims are lofty, and the
intentions are good. But in one re-
spect 1t is like all other similar bod
les. 1t is something of 'buttinsky'
to use vulgar expression. 1t wants
to control the great transportation
companies; regulate congressional
legislation; and guide, If not inspire,
the decisions of the Supreme Court of
; the United States. 1t is of an am
bilious disposition. No question is
too great; no problem too complicat-
ed; no issue too intricate to stagger
It, 1t can one moment resolve the
legitimate profits of cranberry mer-
chant and the next, by resolution,
control the destinies of the American
feet now enroute to the Pacific. 1t
can tell Hartman, Hill and Gould
how to run their railroad systems. 1t
can fix prices, determine profits, and
satisfy the public by 80 word res
olution. We dare say that If Mr..
Hartman will furnish the capital,
assume the responsibility and guaran-
tee the dividends, that any member
OF the Caldwell Commercial Club can
SO fix things that the public will
never again complain of the Oregon
Short Line railroad. Perhaps Mr..
Hartman had better visit Caldwell,
But in all seriousness let US look
atthe recent action of the CONNER
Cial Club in regard to the Bell Tele-
phone Co. The Tribune does not de-
fent the Bell Telephone Co. 1t is
a grinding. grating corporation. 1t
is blood sucker by birth and train
ing. 1t will not donate toward up
building the community in which It
does business. We have no love for
it, but all fair minded men must ad-
NIT that the Bell Telephone Co. fur
nishes good service. The lines of this
company reach all over the inter-
mountain country. 1t has first-class
service in every particular. 1t Is put
ting forth every effort to give the
general public satisfactory telephone
communication. 1t also has no
monopoly. II man does not con-
slider that he Is getting his moneys
worth, he has the privilege OF quit
ting. There are no strings attached to
him. So long as a man quietly quits
doing business with a Arm he Is with
in his rights, but the day that he at
tempt to influence his neighbor to
do the same thing-or in other words
attempts tt organize a boycott-he
over reaches his moral, II not his le-
gal rights. Blackmailing and boy
cotting are twin brothers in the cal
endar of crime. Neither is respecta-
BILE. The argument that the present
agitation is not practical boycott Is
mere sophistry. We We're surprized
that the Commercial Club should
have taken the action it did. 1t was
unwise in our opinion. We think
that the Commercial Club and all its
members did what they thought was
for the best They simply made
bad mistake

CLUB WOMEN HELP IN

Mrs. Harry E, Richards, of Bloomfield,
Asks Town Council to Take Care
of Rubbish Wagon,

Woman's influence In trying to keep the
streets and sidewalks of Bloomfield clean
was brought to bear upon the Bloomfield
Town Council last night when Mrs.

that the latter had purchased a wagon
for the purpose of gathering up newspa-
and that THE vehicle would be

quiring sidewalks to be kept clean.

HELD UP WITH A TINFOIL REVOLVER.

There was some concern among the
friends of William Francis Powers, q
~well-known young man in Belleville, al
his disappearance a week ago. 1t developed
that Mr.. Powers had not left town, but
had fond 1t more to his pes ce of m nd
to remain out of sight of his friends.
When 1t first became noted that he failed
to attend to his lodge affairs and to per-
form some OF the social obligations to
which he had been accustomed, it was
untrue when 1t was shown that he had
been attending regularly to business. The
anxiety OF his friends has increased still
further when 1t became known that he
had been travelling by circuitous routes
to and from his business. Now that an
explanation has been made the cause of
his retirement has been made known to
is a good laugh at his expense.
1t appears that Mr.. Powers was held
t.p and robbed 4 VEGA ago. There is not
much humor in that, Of course, but when
it Is coo:'Gcred thai the hUld-up was
made by enc of his friends whose only
purpose was to have a little fun with him,
and at the same time to settle a wager
1t must be explained that Mr.. Powers
has II a ~ which he prizes very highly.
According to his stcry, the cane Is of Chi
nese dogwood. 1t belonged to a Mandarin
in the Orient and was seized as a SOU
venir liz the Bcxer uprising of a few years
ago by an American soldier. At any rate
II was always MS bOa%. he need never
ear Il hold-up or Il rohc1Gy while he had
the cane III his possession, as he said he
.ould always defend himself. His friends
disputed this and when he offered to make
a wager to this effect he was taken up.
