NEW POWER IN POLITICS.
Major Reed Tells Of New Power
In Idaho Politics.

The great irrigated area of central
southern Idaho is becoming a power in
Idaho politics. and in a very few years
will be a host to reckon with Thous-
ands Of new people are coming to this
section from all parts Of the United
States. They are high-class people, Of
brains and intelligence, who know moth
ing and care nothing for the old sores
and scars of Idaha's political past.
They are not in sympathy with the old
jobs and manipulations of the machines
and intrigues Of any of the parties
who have not especially added to the
glory and advancement of Idaho's poll
tics They care nothing about Mr.
Dubois mormon plank or the machines
of either of the old parties. They
come here to make homes for their
wives and children in a land where to
them conditions are new and clean.
They come full of hope and energy,
and most of them with some money.
They are capable of taking care of
themselves and are posted on public
matters and understand the ethics of
clean politics, and what is more, they
are not going to be juggled with.
In these new people lives the hope of
Idaho, and by and through our new cit
izenship viii Idaho indeed truly become
the ''gem of the mountains -
This article is not intended to con-
denim all men who have steered the
ship of state in the past, for Idaho has
had many loyal, splendid men who have
honestly and intelligentiy filed their
respective Offices with dignity and
CT ledit to their sacred trusts. But there
are some pages of Idaho's political past
that it is well to silently lay away for
ever-not reverently or tenderly, but to
submerge in a strong solution of chlor
ide of lime and pass on to the next
cage.
The new men and women who are
now coming to dwell in our midst viii
be a mighty power to work shoulder to
shoulder with the right-thinking people
who have so valiantly fought for the
upbuilding of Idaho. There can be no
doubt bat that, supplemented by the
new citizens. Idaho's advancement to-
ward cleaner and better politics in all
parties viii be more rapid and satisfac-
tory and to the credit Of our beloved
state.
A new day in Idaho's politics is dawn
ing Men who want exalted positions
in the gift of the people must show
them. They must be able 10 stand
out in the limehght OF public scrutiny
and prove worthy and well qualified or
they will be relegated to the rear double .
time
The writer is not bilious over the sit
uation: he does not believe Idaho is dis
or dying Of dry rot, but he
knows there is room for improvement
in past political methods; and in the
new, assisting the old who have been
lighting for honest. clean politics, he
sees better things and more rapid ad
for those things that are
best for Idaho and Idahoans.

 The above is a poetical ebuli- tion of one of our young gentle men under the inspiration of his first love. We withhold the name of the author. When l see a youth with his gloves
 turned down,
 And cigarette stuck in his face, And a loud check-coat and horse
 cloth vest,
 And half-inch shoe lace, And bunch of hair that hides his ears
 and line of senseless drool, Then I paw the sward as 1 say: "Oh
 Lord,
 Was I ever that big fool?' When I see a youth with his pants
 turned up,
 And his beautiful socks on view, And over one eye perched little brown
 hat,
 With ribbon of mauve or blue, And the fourteen rings and seven pins
 That he got at his dear Prep school, Why it strikes chord-I say "Oh Lord,
 Was I ever that big fool?''
