Business Method, chanoino.

Merchants should consider well all
phases Of any proposition that will
eventually work to their detriment.
Year after year conditions are chang.
Ing. The retailer is finding the screws
becoming a little more frightened.
There is bound to be q reaction. Re.
bates in the way of railroad rates, In
the way of trade in general, are being
pretty well aired by the government.
The time is not far distant when the
interests Of the consumers and the re-
tailers will be much better protected.
For the carrying out Of these purposes
there Is necessity for stringent action.

Daniel O'Connell had got man of

Organizations Which Prey Upon the
Business People as Well az Others.

Now and then comes the news OF
the formation of some new-fangled or
ganization. Many of them are de-
signed to do away with established
systems of business. Most of them are
schemes devised by insincere persons
who think that they can make some
easy money through the work. Plans
proposed are Of the most impractical
and visionary kind. Not long since
what was known as the South Dako-
ia" plan was undertaken, and it in.
volved a complete revolution of es.
tablished business methods. 1t was
proposed to have the backing of
Standard Oil interests to the extent of
$20,000,000, and with this great amount
establish supply houses in large cities,
issue immense catalogues with the
names of merchants who would use
them, and supply all these merchants
with the goods listed. It was bril-
liant scheme. Should such a plan be.
come operative and successful, it
would be the building up of a man.

the land or compel them to become
merely agents of the concern. There
is only one way to fight the trade.
away-from-home evil, and that is By
educating the people to the fact that
the system is wrong, is unjust and con-
trary to economic laws; that the farm.

tedious process. It is an expensive

1t affords the Tribune pleasure to
state that Mr.. G. w. Warren of the
Golden Gate" railroad, has decided

cided to go ON with the undertaking.

printed on the best grade of book pa
per, handsomely and profusely illus
trated. The cover page will be in four
colors. At the top of the page will be

Ant Architecture.

An interesting article in Popular
Mechanics describes the life, work
and methods of ants, showing by illus
tration how the ant hill is in reality
a complex series of passages and
compartments, each devoted to some
particular use. The article says:
THE compartments for the mich
cows, however. may be little con-
fusing to the uninitiated if not ex-
planned. Ants have their aphids, or
milch cows, and dairymen look after
them very carefully. When spring
time comes the attendants drive the
aphids out to pasture on the blades OF
new grass, each day taking them to a
new place. Then at milking time the
milkmaids take the ant-cows and
stroke them with their feet until they
yield drop of milk"

POLITICAL POINTERS.

On Saturday night, October the 31st
the Republicans of Canyon county will
have completed their campaign and If
the voters are to be relied on, a grand
Republican victory will be checked up.
AS usual, the Democrats are predict
ing a Democratic victory. They have
time they will really make themselves
believe it. With their headquarters
switching automatically from Sheriff
Thorp's Office to that of the county re-
corder, and then leaping to the Pio-
neer Irrigation Office and accumulat-
ing data at each jump, 1t Is no won-
der that by the time the material
reaches the office of Editor Burroughs
OF the Caldwell News, Democracy's
Official chimney. that the smoke there
from arising would paralyze a com
munity.
The Caldwell News in its last Issue
meekly states that the Democrats
clean and holy in their white gar
ments, do not intend to throw mut
this campaign and that anything thu
Republicans may say about any of tn,
candidates is untrue and should no
be believed. This is a strong state
ment to issue from the Caldwell News
the paper that last week came out Il
an article attempting to villify tn
name of Frank Breshears, the Repub
lican candidate for sheriff, when
we'll knew that no cleaner man eve
stepped on Canyon county soil. Wa

The following letter is copy of

My dear sir-On last Sabbath even
ing, October 25th, you announced from
your pulpit that you and your associa-
ties have been making Investigations
with reference to the candidates who
have been nominated on the Republic
can and Democratic tickets and had
reached the conclusion to recommend
to the people that Mr.. C. w. Whiffin,
the nominee on the Democratic ticket
for state senator, Mr.. H. e. Wallace,
nominee on the Democratic ticket for
son, nominee on the Republican ticket
for representative, be supported at
the approaching election as they were
| considered safe men. Since that time
we have been informed through relia-
! BILE sources that you and your asso-
ciates had also endorsed the following
gentlemen: T. A. Walters, nominee
for county attorney on Democratic
ticket, F. A. Hagelin, nominee for pro-
bate judge on the Republican ticket,
and N. s. Oils, nominee for county
commissioner on the Democratic tick
ct, all of the above named gentlemen
being from Caldwell. If the plan
above outlined is successful the other
sections of the county would be de-
prived of representation inasmuch as
these gentlemen all live in or near
Caldwell
We assume that the object of this
action is to secure the election of peo-
pie to office who are in favor of local
option. l enclose herein for your in
formation a copy of the Democratic
platform for the state Of Idaho In
which you will observe no mention Is
. made of the local option issue. l also
enclose copy of the Republican state
J platform in which you will observe
that local option is endorsed. W.
would respectfully request that you
and your associates reconsider tn,
