The Virginia State Farmers Insti-
tute, to be opened in the city of Rich
mond, August 4th and continued three
days, it is predicted, will be the ban
ner meeting in the history of the or
ganization and the elaborate program
which has been published, showing
the subjects to be discussed and the
speakers of national repute, who Will
present their views on matters of
practical interest to all the farmers OF
the State, seems to warrant that con-
clusion.
No farmer who loves his calling and
believes that the more he knows about
it the better he will be prepared to
cultivate his soil with greater salts
faction to himself and with prospect
of better returns for his labors, need
be urged that it is his duty to be i'll
attendance. The farmers of the
Eastern Shore, as a class the most III
telligent in the country, especially
should make an effort to be present,
as they have the intelligence to com
prehend the merits of the subjects tc
be treated and will have the wisdom
to apply the knowledge to be derived
from them in way that will be tC
their advantage. The Institute toe
will have attractions of another kind
which they cannot afford to miss, il
the entertainment to be given then
by the Business Mems Association an(
Chamber of Commerce of the city o
Richmond, including an excursion
down the James river ard visit t.
some of the great farms on that his
toric stream. Men of every other pur
suit and avocation have their bushes
meetings and attend them, have thei
seasons of recreation and enjoy then
and surely the farmer, upon WHOM
everybody is dependent, ought to loo
well to his interest when the oppor
tunity is presented and enjoy an out
ing whenever he can, which will no
only be a recreation to him but an in
spiration to him in his future labors

Hon. William H. Taft, the Repub
hcan nominee for the Presidency,
misled by the "taffy" which is being
offered him by the Republicans of
Virginia, it is stated, is counting upon
Virginia in the coming election. An
astute politician even as Representa-
tive Slemp is quoted as saying, that
Virginia twill do her duty this year"
and cast her vote for Taft and Sher-
man. Of course such predictions are
nonsensical. On the contrary the ad-
vices are that the Democrats in Vir-
giuia were never more united than at
present and twill do their duty" and
give a majority for Bryan and Kern
which will not even be changed
noticeably by that democratic Taft
Club" which has been organized in
Richmond. AS Representative Hay,
who will be accepted as better au-
thority on the Democratic outlook in
Virginia, says: 1.-The Democratic
national ticket is virtually Virginia
ticket, as both the father of Bryan
and the father of Kern were born in
the Old Dominion. The ticket is GER
tainly acceptable to Virginia and it
will sweep the State. The Democrats
are united everywhere on the be st
platform and strongest ticket they
have had in years. They will win the
election. Why, even Ohio, Judge
Taft's home State, is doubtful" The
Republicans, indeed, seem to be in
sore straits in hoping for success in
States mpregnable against Republi-
can assault as Virginia, Georgia and
North Carolina are.

E. V. Valentines bronze statue of
Gen. Robert E. Lee which is to &C.
cupy a place in the Hall of Statuary
Washington, representing the State
of Virginia, has been inspected and
approved at Providence, r. l., by an
official party of Virglnians. The
statue is believed to be the nearest
reproduction of Lee, as he was in life,
in existence. All of the clothing in
the statue was copied from garments
worn by Gen. Lee, which are now in
the Confederate Museum at Rich
mond. The Confederate leader is de-
picted as in full dress uniform, with
sword and spurs. The statue is ex.
actly life size, and will stand ON a
pedestal five feet tall.

Judge Martin, of the court of law
and chancery, of Norfolk, Thursday
decided that personal payment of
taxes means that, before voter is
qualified to vote, he must present
himself "in the flesh" at the office of

the agency or check or messenger is
not payment under the law.

CASE DISMISSED.
John H. Garrett Arrested on Bad
Check Charge, But Released.

@. E. Norell swore out a war
rant against John H. Garrett
the first of the week on the
charge of issuing a check on
the Citizens State bank last
February without having funds
at the time at the bank suffi-
cient to cover same. A war;
rant for CARROTS arrest was is
sued Wednesday evening and
served by the sheriff and on
following morning he appeared
before Probate Judge Manion
for preliminary examination.
A large number of witnesses
were examined during the day,
all being called by the county
attorney, but at the conclusion
of the testimony the defendants
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1908-06-20

attorney moved that the charge
be dismissed for the lack Of
evidence sufficient to convict.
This motion was not opposed by
County Attorney Mclaughlin,
who stated to the Court that
the State had failed to make
out a case against the accused.
Judge Manion thereupon dis
missed the case. The check in
question was given to Norell on
the 18th of February and was
presented by him at the bank
on the day following. The
cashier refused to pay it and
marked it ''no funds" Tes-
timony failed to bring out the
fact that there were actually
no funds in the bank to Gar
rett's credit at the time the
check was presented and re-
fused and the Court therefore
had no alternative but to dis
miss the case.

choice of the convention was
then made by General WoodforG
who had nominated his principal
opponent, Governor Hughes OF
New York, but the nominators
of the other candidates were
ready with their seconds, and
with a whirlWind rush of enthu.
siasm the big Ohioan was declar-
ed the unanimous choice of the
Republican party to succeed
Theodore Roosevelt as president
of the United States.
When the convention was
called to order on the morning
of the first day, the Taft mana
gers freely made the claim that
their candidate would be nomi-
mated withoutserious opposition
but the allied Cannon-Fair-
banks-Knox forces kept up the
fight clear through to the end,
hoping that some unforeseen
contingency would upset the
plans Of the big mans hackers.
AS the convention proceeded, it
became more and more appar-
ent that unless the Ohioan could
be side-tracked by the announce
ment of a platform on which
he could not consistently run,
nothing would keep him out of
the nomination. Therefore the
fight was made by the allies on
the anti-injunction plank de-
manded by Taft, but without
avail. The platform as finally
adopted was in every way salts
factory to the president and to
his chosen candidate, and it's
adoption settled the result of the
contest.

REPUBLICAN PARTY PAYS
TRIBUTE TO ITS LEADER
Platform Submits Case to People and Party
Stands Squarely on Record of Its
President and Congress.

The Republican Nationalplat-
form for the campaign Of 1905
is a document of notable and
exceptional strength and will
not fail to give the party OF
Abraham Lincoln the renewed
confidence and support of the
American people in the coming
election. Standing squarely on
its record during the past ad-
ministration the grand old par
ty will again sweep the country
and return, with fresh tokens
of the confidence of the people,
to the solution of the problems
of government which, under
the able leadership of Theodore
Roosevelt, it has brought to
the front during the past four
years. The following selections
from this address to the Amer
lean people show the position
of the party on the important
questions of the day.
Once more the Republican
party, in convention assembled,
submits its cause to the people.
This great historic organization
that destroyed slavery, pre-
served the union, restored cred
it, expanded the national do
main, established a sound fl
nancial system, developed the
resources and industries of the
country and gave to the nation
hes post of honor in the coun-
ellis of the world, now meets
the new problems of govern
ment with the same courage
and capacity with which it
solved the old.

American advancement, the

ACCIDENT
TO SUNNYSIDE MAN
Hall D. Webster Struck By Flying
Fragment Of Rock Yesterday
While Drilling Well.

DR.. B. w. Mather was called
to Sunnyside yesterday after
noon to attend the peculiar case
of Hall D. Webster, a home
steader near Sunnyside, and re-
turned to this city last evening
bringing his patient with him.
The young man was injured
earlier in the day by a piece of
rock hitting him on the knee
and the head, the result of an
explosion of blasting powder in
a well that Webster and his COM
panions were digging, but at
the time it was not thought that
the hurt amounted to much.
Later the knee became worse,
and the situation was compli-
Gated by the delirious condition
of the injured man. 1t was
thought best to bring him to
Mountain Home so that he could
be better cared for.

Republican party reached it's
highest service under the lead
ership of Theodore Roosevelt.
His administration is an epoch
in American history. In no
other period since national SOW
ereignty was won under Wash
ington and preserved under
Lincoln has there been such a
mighty progress in the ideals
of government which make for
justice, equality and fair deal
ing among men. The highest
aspirations of the American
people have found their most
exalted servant represents the
best aims and worthiest pur-
poses of all his countrymen.
American manhood has been
lifted to a nobler sense of duty
and obligation. Conscience
and courage in public station
and highest standards of right
and wrong in private life have
become the cardinal principles
of political faith; capital and
labor have come into closer re-
lations of confidence and inter-
dependence. The abuse of
wealth, tyranny of power and
all the evils of privilege and
favoritism have been put to
scorn by the simple manly vir-
tues of justice and fair play.
The great accomplishments
of President Roosevelt have
been for the foremost, brave
and impartial enforcement of
of the law, the prosecution of
illegal trusts and monopolies,
the exposure and punishment
of evil doers in the public SER

900 acres of land. Of special
interest to the people Of Noun
tain Home and vicinity is the
additional statement, made by
Attorney Hays, that there will
be no extension of the North
Side canal to Mountain Home.
Such an extension, it is said,
would be impossible. Work is
already in progress on the
North Side extension and it is
probable that it will be COM
pleted within a year. These
new segregations will represent
an investment of close to ST.
