MORRISON
At middleton

ex-governor Morrison addressed a
splendid meeting Thursday night at
the Odd Fellows hall at Middleton.
Owing to the fact that services were
being held in one of the churches, the
speaking did not commence until near
nine o'clock. The hall was comfor-
tably filled, all the seats being occu-
pied.
S. S. Foote called the meeting to Or
der and introduced Miss Grace Carl
ton, candidate for county superinten-
dent. Miss Carlton only occupied suf-
ficient time to state her qualifications
necessary for her to fill the office to
which she aspired. 1t appears that a
report has been circulated to the effect
that she was not in possession of a
first grade certificate. This report
Miss Carlton fatty denied, stating that
she held life diploma, which enti-
ties her to teach in any county in the
state. She further stated that she
taught four years as principal of the
cipal of the Emmett school, Miss
Carlton has been engaged in teaching
for many years, in fact school teaching
has been her vocation and she thor
oughly understands the profession and
knows the wants of the country school
as well as the city. The schools OF
Canyon county have been brought to
the point where they rank second tc
none in the state and it will require
superintendent of experience tt
continue to keep them on the presen
high plane by the election of Miss
Carlton.
Following Miss Carlton the chair
man introduced ex-governor Morri
son, who unlike most speakers mad,
no excuse but opened up on the ques
ton of what constitutes good citizen
ship. The speaker lead the audience
by his argument much as he would
jury in trying case in court, explain
ing why as a good citizen he shoul
and would support the Republican par
ty. On account of the lateness of tn
hour the speaker was compelled t
abreviate his speech in order to cate
the last car for Boise. Governor MOI
rison has been holding some very sue
cessful meetings in this county. Hi
meeting at Emmett Wednesday nigh
was by far the largest and most eI
thusiastic held in that place durin
the present campaign.
Arrangements have been complete
to receive the election reports frol
the associated press dispatches at tn
Scenic Theatre Tuesday night.

When the Tribune local man called
on H. w. Dorman in his office yester-
dav he found him with his desk top
covered with Canyon Co fair war
rants. On inquiry he was informed
that Mr. Dorman had taken ten first
premiums on apples, one special $40
prize for the best packed box of ap-
pies, one $3.50 premium for the best
box of apples, one for the best 30
pounds of apples of different varie-
ties and first premium for the larg-
est peaches. All of Mr.. Dorman's
fruit is grown in less than a mile of
the depot at Caldwell.
Bob Lansdon was in Caldwell for a
short time Thursday.
A vote for Miss Carlton is vote for
the continuation of the present school
system in Canyon county.
The Tribune will furnish free of
charge one years subscription to the
party who will procure positive
statement from Mr.. Alexander as to
where he stands on the local option
issue.

homes, but as yet, has said nothing
about local option, the best safeguard
against the necessity for orphans
homes.

Dear Sir:
You have no doubt followed the 10
cal option wave which now threatens
the western part of the United States,
and have noticed that the Republican
praty at it's recent convention in Boise
adopted a plank for local option by
counties, which in Idaho is the quick
est and surest way to get prohibition.
We trust that you realize the danger
| to our interests. The brewers of the
state have already organized, and an
organization of the wholesale and re-
tail liquor dealers will at once be
commenced. We solicit your hearty
cooperation and support
| The writer is sufficiently in touch
with conditions in Idaho to know that
local option bill can be defeated
providing we all get together and work
in harmony. We must see that our
interests are properly looked after and
our case properly presented to the
legislature. To do this funds must be
raised to pay the necessary and legit-
innate expenses. You will be called
upon and we trust that you will do all
in your power to aid us in the work.
1t was given out by prominent Re-
publicans during their state conven-
ton that the reason they put the To-
cal option plank in their platform was
not because they personally favored
it, but because the friends of local op-
ton were organized, and our interests
were not organized. This state of af'
fairs is ruinous to our cause and
should be remedied at once. The
brewers of Oregon state that ter
thousand dollars expended at the pro
per time for the purpose of presenting
their side to the people would have
stopped the local option agitation
while now it will require the expen
diture of not less than half a million
dollars to relieve the state of that in
, cubus. Let us not follow the example
l of Oregon, rather let us pool our in
, terest and pull together.
} AS an example of the way the pro
= posed local option is affecting Idah'
3 might cite an instance: The Bois'
f Hotel company expected to build
= 100000 hotel in Boise and had mad
Z arrangements to place their bond
with an eastern bonding company. I'm
. mediately after the adoption of the 10
cal option resolution by the Republi
can state convention the bondin
company refused to take the bonds. .
: 100000 investment will not be mad
:, here on that account.
A state organization will at once b
:, formed and men put in the field to OF
- ganize the entire state. You will b
. notified in due course.
:, Yours very truly,
= IDAHO STATE BREWERS ASSO.

GUMPTION ON THE FARM.

Potatoes that have been we'll pro-
iected all through the season by the
Bordeaux spray, are not so likely to
rot in the cellar or pit
Don't neglect that crack in the roof
too long. Shove in shingle and fast
en- it down with a nail, then you'll feel
easy.
1t is good plan to know and note
down the size Of every field. Measure
a clothesline, tie a stake at each end,
and measure the field both ways. Then
you can estimate fertilizer, crops and
land exactly.
Late August or early September is a
good time to cut posts and poles. Peel
them at once, let them season, and
they will be very durable. Char or tar
the end which goes in the ground and
their durability is much increased.
When an old farmer dies, one mar
will say, We'll, l don't think he knew
much about farming" but another
will say Il remember how he let me
ride once when l was all tired out
See the point?-remember the good
points and forget the bad.

LEARN TO GRADE COTTON,
So That You May Know What You
 Sell.


 Congressman NIhert BdFles9n or Tasas has a bin pending in Congress 18 instruct and direct the National AZ rfeuitUai Department io appoint q commission of experts to prepare t table of grades for cotton. not to ex- ceed thirteen in number. these thiF fecn grades. middliug being the basis. to be the official ruling and legal grades in all cotton sales and trans actions
 President Roosevelt. in his message to the Congress when it met in regular session last December, recommended tIe enactment 0f law establishing an official and legal grade table for grain. and what is right proper and good for grain is right proper and geod for Catz ion The principles involved are iden- tieal aBd the necessities in the one in- stance are as imperative as in the other.
 Every market has it's own tables and systems Of grading farm products sold by grade and every buyer has his sys- tens and methods, all of them wholly one-sided and arbitrary and rendering the producer defensc'ass to save him sell from being imposed upon if any one shoald be desirous of taking ad- vantage of him. It certainly seems to be eminentk fair and just that the government should fix le~al systems that cannot be deyiated from nor changed, save by the government IL self. the power creating them.
 How many grain growers. how many cotton raisers. old or young, can sam pie and grade their products? Are they not always at the mercy of the buyer. whoever or whatever they may be. as to the quality of their goods9 A farmer would be ashamed of himself if he couldn't examine a horses moW and tell it's age. look over It's body all limbs and detect all it's blemishe spavns. windgalls, etc, or tell aboy it's eyes CT be ignorant of the thing. he should know when he went to bua mich COWS. or beef cattle, or hogs. Then, why should be be ignorant of the quality of his wheat, or corn, or oats, or cotton?
 The Farmers Union saw the point early in its life and began the move ment to educate its young men along these lines and established cotton grading schools in the South. Now We see the business colleges advertising a cotton grading department in their courses Of study. Really. the agricul tural colleges of the States should teach these things. Through the ef- forts of National President C. 5. Bar ret the agricultural college of Georgia has added the grading of cotton to its curriculum. Every agricultural eoi lege has it's textile department. and the grading of cotton could readily be made a part of the course of learning in these departments. Each one 0. these colleges also teaches it's students how to groW grains. and it would be very easy tC add how to grade them. Especially will it be easy for these col fuSe2. Ser :ae h"si:ses5 colleges and fe the Farmers Union cotton schools to teach these things if the government will establish fixed grades so that ing the same thing.-Co-Operator.

LYDIA E. PINkHAM

No other medicine has been SO successful in relieving the suffering of women or received so many gen. uine testimonials as has Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 In every community you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. Almost every one you meet has either been bene. fited by it, or has friends who have.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, any wOmaEany daymay see the files containing over one mill lion one hundred thousand letters from women seeking health, and here are the letters in which they openly state over their own sigma lures that they were cured by Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved many women from surgical operations.
 Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made from roots and herbs, without drugs, and is whole some and harmless.
 The reason why Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound is so successful is because 1t contains in- gradients which act directly upon the feminine organism, restoring 1t to healthy normal condition.
 Women who are suffering from those distressing ills peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia k Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore their health.
