THE chairman of the village
board has issued a proclamation
setting apart Wednesday, April
9Th, as a general cleaning-up
day, and to facilitate the good
work has ordered that all places
OF business in the village be
closed on that day between the
hours of two p. m. and five p.
m. 1t is to be hoped that all
good citizens will take notice of
this order and carry it out to
the letter. In the absence of
any sort of a sewerage system,
Mountain Home is especially Ii
able to several kinds of cpl
demic, and too much attention
cannot be paid to the matter of
keeping all refuse and debris
cleared up. We would suggest
that the village board might,
with perfect propriety, pass
such ordinances as would result
in making every day cleaning
up day in certain parts of town
where the accumulations are so
rapid that the premises are a
constant menace to the health
of the community.

! The fundamental error in th'
, business methods of this company
, and the error that lie working every
day TO the everlasting detriment o.
i Mountain Home, is the theory
that it is perfectly proper and le
Ultimate to sell a man anything
that he is fool enough to buy, re.
CARELESS OF whether the thing sold
has any value in fact, or ever will
have, or whether the seller has any
right to dispose Of it. This kind
OF Business is justified by the argu.
ment repeated in many forms, that
it is the buyers business to see TO
it that he gets value received for
his money, and that it is his own
fault if he does not. According to
this theory, it does not matter that
the important facts are misrepre-
sented and concealed; it is Of no
consequence that the buyer was at
the mercy of the seller on account
of his ignorance and experience
The main thing is, get his money
And nov we are asked to endorse
and stand back of a comapny that
is doing business on this theory,
and we are asked to do 30 on the
plea that this company Is doing
great things for Mountain Home
bringing lot of people here and
getting all their money and so
building up the town.
We have no desire to stir up any
personal feeling against Mr.. Gar
rett or any of his associates. They
are doing business, we must pre-
sumo, strictly according to law, else
they would have before this been
called before the bar OF justice
But we submit it to the honest,
fair minded people of Mountain
Home, that no success, no prosper.
ity that is worth having, can be
obtained by such methods as these.
What does it avail US, if we gain a
thousand in population, if nine
hundred of the thousand leave us
at the first opportunity? What
advantage have we gained, if by
trickery and fraud we get what
money these newcomers have, if we
get il at the price OF our good name /
as a community that gives to every
man a square deal? Every man s
who comes here and later learns
that he has been separated from :
MS money without getting value
received, leaves here as soon 10 he
,an, and spreads abroad the re.
port that he has been robbed, and
hat the whole town STOOD in"
md let the game 60 on. And if d
t so happens that the separation
has been accomplished without |
actual violation of the law, as is S
probably often the case, it does not t
lelp his feeling toward those who i
got his money, or toward the town 4,
hat permitted that kind of busi. !;
less togo on. Refused his redress
It law, he naturally takes the more o
abstraction in knocking the town i
wherever he goes.
Furthermore, even il we gain
ONE present prosperity by wink.
ng at these questionable methods,
is well worth the sober considera. o
ion of every business man in II
fountain Home whether we can p

nd lasting prosperity by such p
'eans. 1t is the old question, il d.

March % was but an Introduction
lT IS a significant fact, and on
that has been commented upon b,
all fair minded people who ar
studying the local situation, tina
IN all of the discussion that ha
been stirred up in consequence o
the position taken by The REpUB
LICAN in its Issue Of March 25
there has not been the least attemp
to deny or in any serious way con
rovert the statements made in thil
paper regarding the Great Western
Beet Sugar Company, and its man
agement of the great irrigation
project upon which the life OF this
community depends. The position
OF the company and it's apologists
has been, in effect, this: 1t is all
true; we cannot deny it; but for
the sake OF Mountain Home keep
still about it. Therein lies The
REPUBLICANS chief offense; it has
told an unpleasant truth. Several
gentlemen have come to us in a
friendly way, to demonstrate against
the continuance of the discussion,
but the only argument they have
offered is, that the discussion is
harming Mountain Home by
frightening away prospective in.
vestors, and depreciating the value
Of property.
The apologists for the company
have been busily engaged in trying
to impress upon the minds of our
business men and of the holders of
water rights from the company,
that the continued existence of the
company is absolutely essential to
the prosperity of the community.
That idea was EN- bodied in the res.
olutions passed by the Commercial
Club, in these words: 1.-THE wei.
fare of Mountain Home is ipse ar.
ably connected with the Great
Western Beet Sugar Company, and
as that company is injured so is
the community hurt" With equal
sense and propriety it might be ar.
gued against the performance of an
operation for the removal of a can.
Ger from mans body, that it |
would be painful to the man, and |
therefore ill.advised. If this com.
oany is so grated upon the com.
nunity that its removal will de.
'troy the business life of the town,
hen, perhaps, the performance of
he operation is useless and i'll.
advised. But we do not believe
his to be the cass. This is not a
me man town yet, although in a
air way to become one. There ia
10 reason for any one to think
hat without Mr.. Garrett and his
ompany Mountain Home canno,
i've and prosper, We must have
n irrigation system, but not nec-
ssarily a Great Western Beet
'ugar Company or a Garrett Il
,ther towns have grown and pros.
cred without either; Mountain
Tome can do as well. There ia no .
uestion but that Mr.. Garrett and
is associates have done a great
cal for Mountain Home. They
ave done much that is good, and
ill have an enduring place in the ,,
istory of the growth of the town.
ut that fact is no defence for {
lose things that they have done I
nd are doing that are a positive
amage to the town. As Mr. :
'olfe stated in his speech to the :.
commercial Club, this is not a y
after OF sentiment or personali. ;
ss. II is question purely of the C
'st interests of Mountain Home. @

that the Idaho was not in COM

There is only n way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
.inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be token out and this tube restored to
Its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine s out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

CHANGING TO PACIFIC.
Commerce With Orient Gradually Leav
Ing Tho Atlantic Coast.

Washington. July 2.-The detailed
review OF American commerce in the
fiscal year of 1907. which has Just been
issued by the bureau OF statistics, show
that commerce with the orient Is grad.
ually but surely shifting from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast. A year ago
1t was pointed out that this change
was taking place. and 1t o appears
that the change is more obvious than
ever. Nearly So per cent OF American
exports to Asiatio countries moved
outward through Pacific coast ports
in 1907. In 1901 the percentage of ex.
ports to the orient which passed
through the ports of the west coast
was less than Al per cent.
Despite pessimistic views OF the
situation and the fluctuations caused
by the late war in the far east and the
exigencies of local market conditions,
exports to the orient are increasing,
There is little II any evidence that
the United States Is falling behind In
shipments to China and Japan.

MR.. TAFT AND THE NEGROES.

In the last analysis the negro vote
will go to Mr.. Taft because the negroes
will realize In the campaign they have
nothing to expect from the democratic
party. With the democratic conven.
ton made up In large part Of south.
ern representatives of the Tillman-
Vardaman type, 1t will be impossible
for the negro to get anything. II he is
to get anything he will have to look
to the republican party and he will
naturally vote for the republican can
didate.-Booker T. Washington.
The common sense of the view point
here expressed by Mr.. Washington is
SO obvious that comment would be un-
j%ustifable II the negroes OF Chicago
had not recently been treated to a good
deal of rant against Mr.. Taft coupled
with oratorical threats that the negro
vote would bolt the republican ticket
rather than go to him. AS the Tri-
bune remarked when these platform
outbreaks occurred, they were largely
the result of an egoism infiamed by a
little brief notoriety.
There is a group of leaders among
the negroes OF the violently radical
and i~rrationally idealistic variety.
These men may be borne with because
their intentions r good If their social
and political wisdom is doubtful. But
the political boss among the negroes
who is disposed to trade upon pre-
judice for his wv profit to his peo-
pies hurt should be suppressed.
There is no alternative in the mind
of any intelligent negro to voting the
republican ticket. Even If the attacks
upon Mr.. Taft were not unfoundei
and unjust, even If 1t could honestly
be charged against him that he is in.
imical to the true interests, and politl.
cal and social rights of the negro,
which he is not the negro would only
injure his own cause by going over to
the democracy Of Tillman, Bailey, and
Vardaman.-Chicago Tribune.
