The planters of tire oyerfiowed
sections of the Red river valley
are displaying their wonted energy
and courge in the midst OF ad-
verse conditions. They are de-
stroying the cotton stalks and
preparing the land for next years
crops. More lands have been
plowed than has been the custom
at this season of the year, for q
long period. 1t is also noted that
greater area than heretofore is
being prepared for alfalfa and
other crops, and to be planted in
oats and provender for the stock.
This indicates that determined
effort will be made to circumvent
and foil the boil weevil. While
the area in cotton Is likely to be
considerably reduced. every
known or prescribed method is
being adopted to escape the raw
ages of the cotton pest. Ii Is
recognized that the use OF an
early variety of seed, united with
constant and intensive methods
of cultivation are the wisest plans
to adopt in the hope anil effort to
successfully cultivate the staple
crop of the South.

keenly felt after the milder at

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
the thermometer reg
istered "a. 26 and % degrees,
while everything was covered
with hoar frosts thst looked like
snow. Ice was plentiful and the
breath of winter reigned supreme.
This seasonable change will be
hailed with delight by the farmers
who have fat porkers to- kill and
cure. Will. it will materially aid
in the destruction of the boil
weevils and other insect pests.

blue. The change in the atmos-
phere gives fresh activity to the

THERE'S ONE in BOISE

The following estimate Of self-styled indeDendent,

ances are responsive to the need of its sinass
office
"a newspaper can be no more independent than an
ndvdua for the Of newspaper is an indivl,Ta1

independent editor he who has convictions and honestly
maintains them matter what may be the consequences
** It is old saying which do not believe to he
true that there two sides to every question There
S only one side and that is the right side There NAV he
two opinions but there not twosdes 70 any question
**** The question, therefore, is which side is wrong
and which side is right Both may be wrong but both
cannot be right That is rfable proposition So we
have the precedent of divergence of opinions one advo
eating one thing and another the opposite If the former
swayed by prejudice the love of gain he is not indie
pendent If the latter inspired by the belief that he
right he is in the very broadest sense independent It
matters not much what principle the editor NAV advance
but it does matter very much what actuates him whether
personal partisan prejudice honest conviction
is for this have little faith in the nopartsan
newspaper AS general rule the nonpartsan journal
ready to swing in any direction. Usually it is without
anv permanent conviction. Usually it is purchasable
At least you depend upon the partisan newspaper
it is honest-and believe the great majority of parti
newspapers honeStt will be found day nI
the where it at the beginning 1t not thing
today and another thing 1t stands like the
eternal rocks for what it may believe to be right and there
fore the stricteSt independent. As stated atI
the outset, newspaper be independent than
individual Hence it must be partisan wholly with
out principle. The it may support not in theI
calculation 1t the principle that is involved and when
editor abandons principle to support who areI
opposed to that principle though they may be known as
good men,, he isa traitor He is not in any sense indie
