Saloon or Anti.salOOn?

The saloon element is organizing it's
forces in Blaine county to defeat the
Republican national, state and county
tickets.
Its alleged reason for this action is
that the Republican state platform
pledges local option while the Demo-
cratic platform is silent upon the sub
ject.
The move is ill-advised; but is must
he met. The issue thus raised is:
Saloon; or Anti-saloon?
Are the temperance men and women
of Blaine awake to the gravity of the
issue? 1t means either that the saloon
is to dominate our county, state and
national government, or that it will
not do so. But there is no middle
ground
The persistence of the saloon ele-
ment everywhere in meddling with
politics has led to it's downfall. Moth
ing is so alarming to the peaceable,
law abiding citizen as the Eruption of
the saloon in politics. And this sense
of alarm has not only usually led to
the driving out of the saloon from pol
itics, but to the permanent closing of
the saloon by prohibition or prohibit
tive statutes.
The saloon element of Blaine having
forced the issue it must be met. The
Republicans and other temperance
people must uphold their platform,
and in so doing defeat every candidate
that the saloon element supports.
A straight vote for the Republican
ticket will do 1.-THE Wood River

The first person to spend actual
money in the effort to preserve the
American bison from total extinction
was the late Austin Corbin, who many
years ago fenced some 5000 acres at
Blue Mountain Park, New Hampshire,
and secured a herd of bison. The Cor
bin herd became in course of time the
inspiration of the national movement
which is now furthered by the Ameri-
can Bison society This society, of
which President Roosevelt is honorary
president, and William T. Hornaday
director of the New York Geological
park is president, was founded in
1904, and the Montana bison range is
directly the result of its efforts.
Details of the management of the
herd in the new national bison range
will be worked out as soon as the herd
is purchased, when the construction
work on fences and buildings will also
be begun.

Cochran on Taft.

There is a remarkable unanimity
of opinion of Judge Taft in all parties
and in all sections. Men pay tribute
to his remarkable ability even where
party politics may exert such an in
nuence as to demand the espousing Of
the rival presidential candidates
cause. AS an illustration w. Bourke
Cochran in an interview at Boston the
other day said:
YES, shall support Bryan: he is
the best candidate the Democrats
could put up. Taft, however, is the
greatest and best qualified nominee
ever offered in any republic in the
world. lie is a greater man than
Roosevelt, and when surrounded by
the same environments that made
Roosevelt great will prove a bigger
man. Taft is wonderful administra-
tor. The greatest the country has
ever seen, and is a wonderful worker. "

If an old English writer be true In

q very simple bird, for he declares that
It puts its head In the ground and

The same author says that 1t was also
captured by another curious plan. A

It was sure of being seen. By and by

Tests With Barley.

At the Montana experiment station
the average results Of two years tsst
with twenty-three varieties of barley
showed that Guy Maybe, dark ksr-
neled hulless variety, gave the largest
yield. New Zealand, two rowsd high
grade brewing barley, stood second.
The hulless varieties produced the lar
gsst quantity of feed. The two rowed
varieties gave much larger yields than
the six rowed varieties, and In the six
rowed sorts large yields of grain were
associated with large yields Of straw.
The average results show q yield Of
1.25 pounds Of straw for each pound Of
grain in the two rowed varieties, 1.81
pounds Of straw to each pound Of
grain in the six rowed varieties and
one pound of straw to each pound of
grain in the hulless barley. Early ma

Hamer ut Caldwell.

One of the best political meetings
held in Caldwell during the present
campaign was held Thursday after
noon at the city hall. Col. II. R. Ha-
mer, Republican candidate for con-
gress, and B. p. Shawhan, candidate
for the state senate and Col. l.. V.
Patch, candidate for representative,
were the speakers. w. G. Compton
presided and introduced the speakers.
The two county candidates both made
short addresses, just consuming suffi-
| cient time to clearly state their posi-
ton on the subject of local option.
Both speakers clearly stated what
they would do in case of their election.
If there has been any doubt as to
| their position on this question there
can be none after their statement at
this meeting. Neither of the speakers
have attained notoriety as orators but
the frank open manner in which they
expressed themselves as favoring a
local option law fully convinced the
duuleuCe Oh tnelr JruLnIulneSS.
Col. Hamer was the principal speak
er, but owing to his time being limi
ted, his remarks were brief, but to the
point. Col. Hamer Is one of the best
campaigners in the state and has the
faculty of holding his audience with
Gus causing feeling Of WEAKNESS to
pervade the hall. The entire audience
was with him from start to finish.
There were over 100 present and no
more intelligent or critical audience
has greeted a speaker in this city
than was present at this meeting. At
the close of the meeting nearly every
one present was introduced to Col.
Hamer and expressed themselves as
having been amply repaid for the time
spent during the busy hours of the
day.
Col Hamer was billed to speak at
Nampa in the evening and left soon
after the meeting adjourned. He ex-
pressed himself as having enjoyed his
short stay in our city and was greatly
pleased at the reception he received
as he had not anticipated meeting
with such an audience as greeted him
at a midday meeting in Caldwell.

no one Is known to have succeeded
In finding two integral numbers such
that the sum of their cubes would pro-
duce the cube of whole number. The
cubes of the first ten numbers give the
following series: 1-S-27-64-125-2
512-729-1, O00 This series may be pro-
longed indefinitely. The problem would
then be to find two members Of the
series such that their sum is just equal
to another member. Adding 125 and
216, we get BAL. which is certainly
pretty close to 343. Again, adding 216
and 512, we obtain 72S, which is with
in a single unit of 729, another member
Of the series. Another example Of be-
ing very close. but not exact, is that
100 plus 1000 gives 1.729, which is but
a single unit more than LIPS, the cube

first twelve cubes yield two cases
where the approximation is but unit
out of the way. AS the possible cubes

none of the alleged news matter CIV

vouching for 1t as news.
The imaginative chairman gives
Bryan 301 electoral votes, or SO more
than necessary for his election. This
Is pretty good-till one observes that
in order to get these votes he includes
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Nebraska,
Nevada, Indiana, Ohio, Delaware, Kan

gins to have fears. For we suspect 1t
Ia not certain that Bryan will carry
any one of these states, and the prob
abilities are immensely against his OBJ
tainment of majority of the electoral
vote which they represent.
The New York Herald, which has
been very friendly to Bryan through
out the campaign, and has used Its
news columns specially for presenta-
ton of his appeals and all news In his
behalf, offers an estimate quite differ
ent from that of Chairman Mack. In
Yesterdays issue the Herald presents
complete summary by states, col
lected through its own agencies, by
which 1t assigns to Taft 2S0 electoral
votes, to Bryan 156, leaving AZ doubt

Fed on Farms.

Fed on Farms. 4
Much question having arisen as to
the conditions Of the corn crop, which
the completion Of husking has revealed,
the American Agriculturist, aften an
independent investigation upon this
point, reports in part as follows:
1t Is the almost universal testimony
of the correspondents In the important
corn states, and particularly In the
Ohio and Missouri valleys, that the
quality Of the crop is even poorer than
was believed a month ago. Completion
of husking emphasizes the fact that
the grain this year is unusually i'm
mature, soft and full of moisture and
that 1t is not of a quality to insure its
safe keeping.
Heavy Farm Feeding.
The comparatively high prices ruling
having led some to the opinion that
larger part of the crop would be market!
ed in commercial channels than usual,
the returns upon this point in a decided
majority of cases were that more than
the ordinary percentage of this years
crop would be fed upon farms. This
Is accounted for by the poor quality of
the crop, which renders a large part of
1t unavailable for commercial purposes,
by the liberal supply Of hogs and cattle
for feeding purposes and by the fact
that on account of Its inferior nutritive
value larger amount than usual must
be fed in order to accomplish the same
results.
Fortunate Districts.
On the other hand, In good many
localities, particularly in Kansas, Mis-
souri, and the more southern part of the
belt where the crop dried out better,
the present disparity In price between
corn and fat hogs and cattle makes the
sale of corn more attractive, and there
are indications that it will be sold
| close and animals carried over for fu-
| ture feeding This tendency, however,
apparently Is about Offset by the fact
| that animals already fitted for market
are being held and further fed because

PARDON FOR POWERS.

There is a movement in Ken lucky to induce Gov. Wilson to pardon Caleb Powers, who has been a prisoner for nearly eight years, and who has been tried in court four times without a deter mination of his case This move ment is based primarily upon the presumption of his innocence, but is urged on the ground that, Wheth- CT innocent or not, he has already been made to suffe~ a heavy penal ty of imprisonment and mental suffering which may be indefinitely continued. This request for g pardon is, in effect, crit.sm upon the judicial system of the state, which has failed for eight years to determine the merits of the case against Powers. but, should the re- quest be granted, it would be an extraordinary exercise of the par doning power, which. according to the usual language of state eonsti- tutions. is conferred upon thu gov ernor to be exercised only after the conviction of the person to whom the executive clemency is extended. An executive is not authorized to interfere with the processes of court to prevent the conviction or acquital of defend ant. The governor, in tt Powers case, it would seem, could not par don man for crime of which he nas not been legally convicted, or take him out of the hands of a court by any sort of executive or der. It is the duty of the courts to render reasonably prompt justice. and if this be delayed to the extent of actual injustice and public re- proach, the resort would seem tc be to legislative action if relief cannot be obtained by habeas cor pus proceedings Nashville Ban Nor
