woman who writes to the American
Magazine about race relations In the
South touches on this point to say that
the dangerous negroes are dangerous
to all women and girls, white or black
that the negro children go to school in
groups, as the white children do: and
that the negro women, like white wom-
en-, in the South recognize that 1t Is
not safe to go far from home unpro-
tected. This statement has probability
in it's favor, and for various reasons
sounds true. 1t was worth making !;
the more SO that we do not remember
to have seen it in print before. We
have all along known and deplored the
peril to the white women and chill
dren, but no one before this has thought
1t worth while to mention that the
negro women and girls were in any
danger. The reason why this ought to
be known is that a common danger Is
strong tie. and the blacks and whites
in the South are developing antag-
onisms so fast that no tie that remains
ought to be ignored. After the Atlanta
riot decent people, white and black, got
together to discuss preventive meas
ures. That was the right way Shot
gun methods will only increase their
perils.-Harper's Weekly.

MAKING BUSINESS OF BENEvoLENcE.
By John d. Rockefeller.

It takes a practical mind to make
a fortune Men have often said in
my hearing, ooh, how l wish ! were
rich! II had money l should do this
great work or that" Now, those men
will never be rich. They haven't got
&e purpose and practical bent Of
mind for it. They think of the fruits
of victory without the struggle. 1t
is necessary to fix the mind pretty
firmly upon the making of money be-
fore it Is possible to plan it's spending.
l remember clearly when the financial
plan-if l may call it so-of my life
was formed / was in Ohio, under the
ministration of dear old minister
who preached, Get money; get 1t hon.
estly, and then give it wisely" l wrote
that down in little book. have
the little book yet, with that writing
in it. l have tried ever since to get

IN THE WASTE-BASKET.
TF<<FFFFFF%T<TTFF;

The recent death Of Miss Julia Bry-
ant, the daughter of William Cullen
Bryant, has called forth number OF
"reminiscences Of the poet and his fam
lily. Although always kindly, Bryant
was not a man Of winning personality.
He was too dignifed. But at home
he could unbend with his children and
their intimate friends he could occa-
sionally even romp. With strange chill
dren the poet perhaps being a little
shy of them, became even more than
usually dignified, with the result of re-
ducing them to solemn and hopeless
good behavior.

vaguely with the Old Testament, and
revered him accordingly. Such beard
and such brow were his as / knew
only in Biblical illustrations depicting

have shocked me, am sure, to see
him laugh"
With another little girl, whom he
knew better, however, he often laughed
and used to perch her on his desk to
listen to her amusing chatter. When
he had had enough Of 1t, and wished to
resume his writing, he would put her
In the big waste paper basket, carry it
outdoors, and merrily tip her out on the

small to be overconvcrsational, but

Not until the grooming stopped did
her father need to give her any further
attention, but silence was a signal not
to be disregarded, Tor 1t meant that she

Just a Word.

1t is an open secret that there are
Republicans in the county who are
opposing the election of Mr.. Van
Duyn for county attorney. This was
to be expected when an officer does
his duty, and there is no Office in the
county where if the occupant performs
his duty faithfully that is as liable to
incur the displeasure of people as
that of prosecuting attorney. Conse-
quently there are some who oppose
his election, not on the grounds of in
capacity but from personal motives.
Scratch any of these fellows and you
will find that it is a personal matter
A vote for Van Duyn is vote for an
experienced and competent attorney
and experience is one of the essentials
in making a successful prosecutor
With clear record for four years
who can say that he is not better
equipped for the Office than his op.
ponent?

Court Business.

Judge Bryan held a session of court
the latter part of last week and Mon
day of this week. The following cases
were disposed of: r. A. Cowden VS..
Samuel Holt; judgment was rendered
in favor of the plaintiff. The divorce
case Of Emma Leitriz VS.. Charles Lett
riZ was called and the defendant fail
ing to put in an appearance the di-
vorce was granted as prayed for. The
case of Sarah Lawlis VS., John Lawlis,
another divorce case, called but the
defendant failing to put in an appear
ance, judgment was rendered in IA
vor Of the plaintiff.
The case of the State VS.. G. A. Rob-
erts and Cora Stanfield, charged with
adultery, was easy as the divorce
cases. Both the prisoners plead gull
ty as charged and the judge sentenc-
ed them to the penitentiary for nine
months. They were taken to the state
Institution at Boise on Monday.

The Result.

1t is generally conceded by the
knowing ones of the Democrat party
that they have no license to elect a
sinble county officer in Canyon coun-
ty and if they do, it will only be
through the stupidity of the Republic
cans in not looking after their in
terests. This county is normally Re-
publican by from 1900 to 1900 ma
jority. The ticket is composed of
some of the best of our citizens. The
platform is sound on all issues which
the people are asking for and the can
didates are all men who can be trust
ed to stand by their pledges. Then
why should not every candidate be
elected? While the Democrats have
equally as good men for some of the
offices, yet the Tribune is frankly and
truly of the opinion thta when il
comes to ability that the Republican
candidates far excel those of the
Democrats.

About the Commissioners,

Mr.. Taxpayer, have you given the
candidates for commissioner any par
ticplar thought, If not, why not? This
Is one OF the most important offices
within the gift Of the people Have
you thought about the kind of a man
you would select if you were going to
turn your business over to him. If
you had varied interests you would
select a man adapted for one particu-
lar interest; you would not select a
farmer to do your clerical work, nei-
Their would you select clerk to per-
form the farmers work The Repub-
licans of Canyon county never made
better selections of men to fill the Of
flee of commissioners than the present
candidates. Mr.. Rinehardt has had
just the kind of training and expert
ence which will make him valuable
to the county when the question of
bridges confronts the board. He has
had years of experience while his
Democratic opponent has never had
any experience in that line with per-
haps, what little he got when the
dredge for the Pioneer Irrigation dis
trict was being built and it is best to
say nothing about that.
You ask who is the man who can
do the figuring when complicated bills
come before the board: That's easy (;

TX. l.. Boarding House Burned.

Fire destroyed the 1. x. L. boarding
house at Pearl Tuesday at eleven
o'clock. Ernest Myers, foreman of the
mine, was living in the boarding house
at the time of the fire. Mrs. Myers
was entertaining Mrs. Tibbs and two
children and the first intimation they
had of the fire was when the ceiling
burst into flames. Mrs. Tibbs caught
I'D one of the children and ran for
assistance, leaving Mrs. Myers to take
care of the other child and get such
things from the building as was pos
sible. She managed to get the bed
ding for one bed and could have saved
more had it not been that the little
girl kept running into the house call
ing for her mother. The loss is es-
timated at $1,000.
The building was erected about IL
years ago and was not very expensive
the walls being of boards and the
roof of heavy canvas and everything
was as dry as finder. The fire caught
it is supposed from the stove pipe. A
trunk containing SIS in paper money
was entirely destroyed together with
all the furniture and clothing with
the exception of the bedding saved by
Mrs. Myers. A new building will be
erected as soon as Mr.. Dorman car
get to the mine.
