nent. and then go into executive session
and pass proper resolutions concerning
the bankers. Even if Chicago had stood
firm and insisted that normal conditions
must prevail, the entire west would have
commended and would not have been
subjected to such humiliation. In our
own town, Winfield, with three national
banks and one state bank. we have gone
right along as il conditions were normal.
We have paid every demand on US and
have questioned no ones checks. If it
were not for newspaper comments and
the talk OF travelling men, no one would
know that anything out OF the usual had
occurred. We are not now, therefore,
embarrassed as to how to get back to the
ordinary routine OF business.
"Something should no doubt be done
to prevent such condition in the future.
What shall it be? We are now convinced
that we must have the confidence OF the
people who have entrusted to US their
money with which We are enabled to run
our banks. Confidence is the keynote
above and better than asset currency, a
central bank, emergency currency, or the
guarantee of any association of banks.
l am now, and always have been, a re.
publican. Of all plans suggested. that
made by the Hon. w. ]. Bryan is the
best. to my mind. Let the government
guarantee the deposits OF all national
banks. hold the banks responsible, and
force them to pay. Have no guaranty
fund, as this would tend to tie up funds.
In case OF failure entailing loss, have
the loss assessed against the banks
which would include all national banks.
This would insure absolute confidence.
1t would also lead to better banking, as
each national bank would watch every
other national bank. 1t would tend to
more rigid supervision and would make
what we now regard prudent banking
even more 60. Our treatment of the
people would then be the strength in our
competition. If We can't have insurance
for national bank deposits, possibly the
next best thing is some kind of emergency
currency, with tax big enough to drive
it in after it has served its purpose"

In CITY POLITICS
A Number OF Candidates
Have Qualified for the
Primaries, and
Many Are Yet
to HearFrOm

Next Saturday is the last day upor
which candidates before the city primary
elections can file their declarations, and
from present indications it is very prob.
able that two complete tickets, Republi.
can and Citizens, will be in the field
with the possible exception of candidates
for treasurer and clerk. Messrs. Sargent
and CLARK in those positions appear to be
entirely satisfactory to the people, &c
that it is likely that the Office of treasurer
will be left vacant on the Citizens ticket
and that of clerk on the Republican
ticket.
For councilman. so far. the declara.
tions are all for the republican ticket
which is not to be construed az q desire
to intrude national politics into city
affairs. but was caused by the opinion o.
some reliable attorneys to the effect that
the Citizens ticket was not eligible
Since the opinion Of the attorney general
was received, candidates are appearing
for the Citizens ticket.
The following are the filings made in
the various wards, and the probable citi.
zen candidates:
First ward-D. W. Franklin has filed
for the republican ticket, and Mr.. Pressy
of South Aberdeen, is mentioned as a
probable candidate on the citizens ticket.
In the Second ward, G. A. Pinckney
W. W. Hart and VIM. Ingram have filed,
and in all probability A. J. Stewart and
VIM. Irvine will be the nominees OF the
Citizens ticket.
In the Third, those having filed are G.
P. L. Roberts, W. w. Maxey and ]. ii.
Fuller. This ward elects but one coun.
Gilman, and the Citizens will have q
candidate.
Ed. Benn, w. B. Lowrie and Ed. Do.
Ian have filed in the Fourth, and the
Citizens are yet to be heard from.
In the Fifth, ]. Fl. Empey will shy his
castor into the ring on the Citizens ticket,
while the Republicans have already E.. F.

wax.
The Sixth elects two, and Jas. Parks,
d. J. Mc0ougal and Geo. Stalding have
filed. Fred G. Furth is mentioned az a
possible candidate on the Citizens ticket,
and his record as councilman would
make him formidable candidate in the
Sixth.
Up to this morning, $40 voters have
registered. The registration books close
March 8, and it is expected that over
1000 will be registered for the primaries
to be held on the 10th.

but the fact that he has established his
position in the fight has added greatly to
his strength Within the past year he has
been regarded as one of the strong men of
the senate, and one of the ablest members
Of that body recently remarked II always
hesitate to enter into discussion regarding
constitutional matters with the Senator
from Idaho" He is regarded by his col
legues as one of the ablest constitutional
lawyers in the Senate.
The work Of a member of Congress for
his first term is largely to establish him
self, and by able work he has taken his place
among the great men of the body of whc b
he is a member. Idaho can now reap the
reward Of his efforts and have for her rep
resentative man who ranks among the
strongest in that national body. A fitting
reward for his untiring efforts would be for
the people of Idaho to recommend him as
the unanimous choice of the party at the
state conyention in Boise.

WE ARE ADVANCING TOO.

While reports are coming in about the
rapid advancement of Idaho and the rapid
strides other communities are making the
people of Montpelier have few things to
brag about themselves In quiet way
this community is making Announcements
that would make many communities envl-
Gus.
The assurance that $50, 900 plant is to
be erected at once and that the mining in
terests tributary to the town are to be de-
veloped is no small item in itself. Nothing
builds up a town faster than active mining
interests, and If we are to judge from re-
ports of reliable capitalists our mining in
terests are to be pretty active and COM
mence their activity right away. This is
the latest and perhaps the most pertinent
announcement bearing upon the welfare of
the community but a review of the good
things that have come along since the open
ing of the year make interesting food for
thought.
We now have good commercial club
that is working constantly for the welfare
of the city.
We have a water works system that
can't be beat, and we are going to have the
laterals extended at once until practically
the entire town is served.
We have band and it is as good as
any of the smaller communities can boast
of.
We have fine new school building,
and on recent visit the State Superintend-
emit told US we had schools as good as could
be found in the state.
We have some new business buildings
and some more under process of construc-
ton.
We are going to have race track and
may we'll hope to be the amusement center
of this territory as soon as we are ready to
take the honor.
All these improvements are of recent date
and may be counted as the growth of this
year. It isn't SO bad. Montpelier is com
ing to the front just as fast as any of the
doomed places, only she is doing it in a
quiet way, but the results are just as GER
tain.

SENATOR HEYBURN.s RECORD.

Every county that has held republi-
can convention has endorsed the record of
United States Senator W. B. Hepburn.
Senator Heyburn's record is deserving
of the strongest endorsement the people of
Idaho can give and It would be only right
if the people of Idaho by unanimous vote
would re-elect him to the office he now
holds
From the time he took his seat in the
Senate, Senator Hey burn has rapidly forged
to the front, until at the end of his first
term he commands position of influence
and respect in that body, enjoyed by but
few.
Not only Idaho, but the entire west
should be proud of the record he has made
The western states have never been repre-
scented in Congress as they should, and
Senator Hepburn has done more toward
bringing the west to the front than any man
of recent years. He has worked untiringly
for everything the west has needed, and the
mastery way in which he has handled his
subjects has commanded the attention of
his colleagues.
When he has thought the interests of
his state or of the west to be at stake, he has
fought determineoly, against any odds.
His stand on the forest reserve question in
dicates his character. The people of idaho
are and have been opposed to the Pinehot
forest reserve policy. With all of the ma
chinery of the administration against him
he has doggedly stood his ground in fight
mo for the wishes of his constituents with
the result that the policy has been greatly
modified and portion Of the senate has

OUR SUPREME BENCH.

The following resolutions were passed
by the Idaho county convention, April H.
''Resolved that the republican central
committe of idaho county views with pride
and approval the able, efficient and distin-
guished services of our fellow citizen and
neighbor, Hon. j. F. Ailshie, rendered as a
Justice of the supreme court of this state
during the last six years, and the assurance
of his denomination that comes from all
parts of the state is a source of qualification
to both the committee and the people of
Idaho county We most cordially endorse
him and bespeak for him united support OF
the county and the delegation it shall elect
to the state convention.
Idaho county is not alone in her admir-
alton of the able record of Chief Justice
Ailshie The entire state of Idaho is proud
of her supreme bench, and no one has done
more to bring it to its present high stand
ard than J. F. Ailshie.
At the time he succeeded to the high
position of Chief Justice of the state he was
the youngest chief justice in the United
States. The energy of youth, combined
with the wisdom of experience, and tlreless
toll and study has characterized his career
on the bench
One of the strongest arguments IN
favor of Justice Ailshie, is that the bar OF
the state is united in his support. The at
torneys are the people who come in the
most direct contact with the work of su.
preme Judge, and the fact that the bar is
unanimous in his support speaks eloquently
in praise of the record he has made.
Judge Aishie will doubtless be candi
date for reelection and Idaho should rally
proudly to his support. 1t is hardly prob
able that any candidate will appear in the
field against him, so firmly has his RECORD
established the confidence Of the public il
him.

MUSIC STUDENTS
Should Have Steady Nerves.

The nervous system of the musician
is often very sensitive and any habit
like coffee drinking may so upset the
nerves as to make regular and neces-
sary daily practise next to impossible.

day and study Harmony two hours"

and mother said l would have to drop
my music for a year.

I couldn't bear the thought of losing

vinced that my nervousness was
caused largely by coffee, and seeing

Mother followed the directions
carefully and 1 thought had never

drank Postum every morning instead
of coffee, and by November I felt more
like myself than for years, and was
ready to resume my music.
Il now practise as usual, do my
studying and when my days work is
