From Flint.

George Birmingham, from near
ing brought in a part of his wool clip
to this market, but as the sales day
Flint, was in the city Sunday, hav-
ing brought in a part of his wool
clip to market, but as the sales day
was past, he has arranged to have
1t sold at he next. Mr.. Birmingham
is one of the prosperous ranchers
and stock growers of his section of
country. Flint is rs miles from
Caldwell and is in rich mining
section, but as the ore is base 1t
has to be transported to a smelter
which makes T. improbable to mine
under the present conditions, but
when the Golden Gate road reaches
Sheaville, the products of the mines
can be made to pay, but until that
time arrives there will be nothing
to do but keep up the assessments.

THE CANDIDATES.

Destiny seems to be shaping the
ends of the Republican party, both in
national and state affairs, in the mat
ter of selecting candidates. While
destiny seems to be doing this, we
rather suspect that the good sense
good judgment, and strict attention to
the business before them, of the men
mentioned for the different nominal
tons is the primary cause. In every
respect the Republican party has been
fortunate in having good, honest, level
headed men in charge of public af-
fairs. Nationally, William H. Taft SO
appealed to the people that his nomi-
nation was assured months ago. SEN
ator Hepburn has made such a high
and enviable record that his re-elec-
ton is admitted on all sides. The Boise
Statesman, always at the tail end of
the procession, has been forced to
abandon its fght. 1t has snarled it's
last snarl and will gracelessly accept
the result. Burton L. French has
earned a reelection and will receive
1t by unanimous consent.
In state affairs the party is equally
fortunate. One can almost name the
ticket now. Outside of treasurer,
auditor and attorney general, no fight
may be anticipated. Mr.. Brady, Mr..
Hastings, Mr.. Landson, Mr.. Bell, Miss
Chamberlain and Judge Ailshie will re-
ceive the nomination for their respec-
tive Office with little or no opposition
1t is a good condition of affairs that
exists in Idaho, and the best part of
it is that the Republican party has so
conducted affairs during the past six
years as to make such a condition pos
sible. There have been no scandals.
no graft and no incompetency. Every
thing is in good condition. The Re-
publican party deserves we'll of the
people; the people deserve well of the
Republican party, aud both will get
their just deserts.

CONVENTION NOMINATION.

The rumor gained currency some
months ago that an organized fight,
headed by the Statesman, was to be
made against Senator Hepburn. when
he came up for reelection. This fight
was to be made in the dark; in fact
would not come to light until the leg
islature convened. Owing to the we'll
known friendship between Senator
Borah and the Statesman, his name
was mentioned in connection with the
conspiracy. 1t gives The Tribune
pleasure to assure the people that
has been party to any such a
scheme. This statement is made in
justice to Mr.. Borah.
However, the rumor of such a con-
spiracy still persists. The Statesman
denies it, but as the Statesman never
was right about anything, it's denial
must be taken with grain OF salt.
Make the grain a big one. Whether
tnSkV CfSI was d conspiracy
matters little. The people will take
no chances. They will insist upon
nominating Senator Hepburn at the
state convention and thus set at rest
all fears Of q miscarriage of their in
tentions. The people will insist upon
the reelection of the Senator. He
has made a brilliant record in the
United States senate. During the next
six years he will do a great deal more,
as he will not only have had the ex-
perience, but will also have the help
of one Of the most brilliant men in
the senate-Senator Borah. These
two men should make an ideal team.
They will bring credit to Idaho and
reflect glory upon themselves.
However, as the rumor has gained
such currency that the calm, dignified
Statesman felt called upon to deny it,
the people should insist upon a con-
vention nomination.

convention. They have had enough,
and we don't blame them. A small
dose of Idaho Democracy would sat-
isfy any self-respecting community.
AS predicted time and again by
The Tribune, Senator Dubois con-
trolled the convention. His Mormon
cockatrice was sufficient to madden
all beholders. After the anti-Du-
bois element found they were in the
minority, they bolted the convention
and proceeded to organize one they
could handle. Two sets of delegates
were elected to the Denver conven-
ton. And the last stand will be
made in the national convention, or
rather before the national commit
tee. We predict that the regular,
or Dubois, delegation, will be seated
at Denver. We further predict that
a strong anti-Mormon and anti-po-
lygamy plank will be adopted. This
will give Senator Dubois such a boost
that the anti-Dubois wing cannot ex-
pect to do anything in the campaign.
The Democrats of Idaho would not
dare repudiate their national plat
form at Wallace, even tho they
could wrest control from Dubois.
OF course, they have no chance of
controlling the Wallace convention.
1t looks to us as tho the Senator has
the Idaho Democracy In his pocket.
His opponents were engaged in poor
business, politically, when they bolt
ed. They can expect little consid-
GRAFTON at the State convention. We
think they will have little appetite
for the fray after the meeting of the
national Democratic convention.

RUICK'S REMOVAL.

Norman N. Ruick. United States At
torney for the district of Idaho has
been removed. Mr.. c. H. Lingenfelter
has been appointed to succeed him.
The cause of the removal Of Mr.. Ruick
as stated in the press, is that at some
time or other in the past eight or ten
years, Mr.. Ruick got into debt in the
sum of $4,000, and that the claim has
never been paid; and further that he
is not in harmony with the department
of justice at Washington. The par
ticular point at which he is out of
harmony is not stated in the press
dispatches. The Tribune Is compelled
to think that the causes given for the
removal are mighty flimsy. There
may be other and deeper causes.
which have not been given publicity.
In one way we hope there is and in
another we hope there is not. For Mr..
Ruick's sake we hope that everything
is out, For the sake OF these who
caused his removal we hope they have
substantial grounds. There is prob
ably two sides to the three hundred
dollar business, and II there be not,
the department might better turn its
collections over to collection agency.
If those who caused the removal
would be more explicit, the public
could better Judge the merits of the
case.
We have heard that Attorney Ruick
has been too perniciously active in dig
ging up timber frauds, and we have
also heard that Mr.. Ruick acted un-
der direct instructions from the de-
partment at Washington. Perhaps
both rumors are true. II they are
they afford little cause for removal.
We rather suspect that the lack of
harmony is between Senator Borah
and Attorney Ruick. The latter was
very active in opposition to the Sem
ator's election. Naturally, Mr.. Borah
would not feel kindly toward him. We
think that he should have come out
squarely and said: ''Mr. Ruick is
pretty good fellow and an able law
yer, but he isn't on the right side. He
has been too active against me, and l
am going to get his scalp" Perhaps
Mr.. Borah did say something OF that
kind once on a time.

TAFT THE MAN.

Honorable William Howard Taft,
Secretary of War Of the United States,
has been nominated for the presidency
of the United States by the Republican
party. For nearly ten years Secretary
Taft has been one of our most promi-
nent public men. With that unerring
instinct which always guided him,
President Mckinley selected Mr.. Taft
as the first encouragement of the
Philippine Islands. How well he per-
formed his duty may be slightly real
lied, by the present condition of the
islands and their people, and by the
love in which they hold him. His next
great duty was the settlement of the
friar lands problem in the islands.
This mission was successfully accom-
plished at Rome with the utmost sat
Is faction to the Catholic church, the
people Of the inlands and the people
OF the United States. Mr.. Taft then
succeeded Hon. Elihu Root as Secre-
tary of War, which position he has
since filled with credit and distinction.
As Secretary of War his duties have
been varied and diversified. He has
kept an ever watchful eye on the Phil
ippines; has made great start in the
construction of the Panama canal;
Strengthened out the entangled affairs
of Cuba; has soothed the ruffied feel
ings of Japan, while securing from
that country the assurance that this
country need have no fear of excessive
immigration of Japanese laborers.
These multifarious duties have occu-
pied only part of his time and at
tention. Ever he has been a messen-
ger of good will and peace among and
from the American people. The Re-
publican convention did well its work
We congratulate the party and the
American people. -Four years more of
peace with dignity and prosperity with
honor are assured.

ROBERT 8. LANDSON.

A word concerning Robert s. Land
son, secretary of state, and candidate
for denomination, may not be amiss
for denomination, may not be
amiss at this time. We are not
sisting Mr.. Landson to get the nomi-
nation, because that is already as
sured him. In fact, we are now speak
ing in order to justify the position
The Tribune took nearly two years
ago, when mean, cowardly, con-
temptible fight was being made on
him. At that time some of his po-
litical enemies made grave charges.
These charges were made at a time
when he could not possibly disprove
them before election. The voters with
that rare good sense which has al
ways distinguished the American peo-
pie, and is the safeguard Of govern
ment by the people, clearly saw
through the tiimsy accusations. They
elected him and time has shown the
wisdom of their course. Mr.. Landson
has served nearly two years as secre-
tary of state. He has made one of the
best officers the state has ever had
There have been no charges of fraud OF
graft. In fact, he has done exactly
as his friends anticipated, that is, he
has made good, honest, capable Of
ficer. The Tribune is pleased that Mr..
Landson has been INDICATED and the
people justified.

Contest Decided.

The Boise Land Office handed down
decision in a contest case which
doubtless was correct, although not
strictly according to law. The case
was United States VS.. Elizabeth
Hochesteter. The decision follows:
THE improvements are meagre,
consisting of house 12x12 feet, els
tern and some fence, worth about
500; that claimant has resided with
Mrs. Kate E. Green, by whom she is
employed as domestic, and that she
has never resided on the land; that NO
crop has ever been raised on the
claim"
After reviewing the testimony, the
decision concludes:
There is much to suggest that the
entrywoman did not maintain such a
residence on the land as is contem-
plated by the homestead law, but we
are obliged to announce the conclu-
sion that in our opinion this has not
been established by the testimony
Furthermore, it is shown this entry
woman is poor, that she was ambitious
to have a home OF her own and that
she has expended what was to her a
large sum in improving this property
This would incline us toward a lib
eral construction of the. testimony
even were it considerably stronger
on behalf of the government.
For these reasons we find the con.
test should be dismissed"

Commercial Club.

There will be a special meeting of
the Commercial Club next Monday
night, at which time N. s. Miller will
submit a report of his trip to Oregon
in the interests of the dairymen of
this section of the country. Mr.. Mil
ler's report will be interesting and in
structive. 1t is expected that there
will be a good attendance. The farm
ers are interested more if anything
than the citizens are in getting con-
densary or commercial creamery es-
tablished at Caldwell. Mr.. Miller will
tell all he knows about the proposition
OF establishing condensary in this
city.

Last week The Tribune called atten-
ton to the condition of the Caldwell
public school buildings and directed
attention to the necessity of voting
bonds. We think that our position is
amply justified by present conditions.
The Lincoln school house is too
crowded, is unsafe and unsanitary. BY
making few changes the building
can be made safe. healthful and pleas
ant. The Washington school has not
been completed. BY finishing the
building the CONGESTION at the Lincoln
building will be relieved. The amount
asked is only 100000. This small
bond issue, IL 1t should only make the
Lincoln building safe, should be made.
The people Of Caldwell do not care to
take chances on the lives of their chill
dren. They should not jeopardize
their health by combining them in i'll
ventilated and ill-lighted rooms. The
100000 will relieve the situation for
some time to come. The Tribune
urges its readers to vote the bonds.
