Waiting for Full Force.
1t Is not likely that the entire army
will reach the capital for some time,
as Husni Pasha and his military asso-
ciates deem it advisable to withhold
their advance until they are strong
enough to win success by overwhelm-
ing numbers.
They hope that the so-called reac-
tionary opposition will yield without
fighting. The bringing up of the rein
forcements is under the direction of
Niazi Bey and Enver Bey. The civil
direction of affairs continues at Sa-
loniki, at which place constant COM
munication is maintained with Con-
stantinople.
The new government at the capital
has been conducting the administra-
ton for the last week with few or no
changes in the personnel.
The war ministry under Edham
Pasha has been inactive, except that
appointments and promotions have
been made to fill the vacancies caused
by the killing of officers, which it is
estimated number 200. There have
been practically no preparations, so
far as can be observed, to resist the
advance of the Saloniki troops.

Even though the rumors OF the sui
'an's abdication are unconfirmed they
seemed to produce feeling of dis
tinct relief in Constantinople and the
advance of the Saloniki army, which
is slow but steady. makes the settle
ment of the question of administra-
ton a matter of hours The general
belief is held that the enveloping
movement will be completed by to-
night or early tomorrow morning
The soldiers of the garrison appear to
be thoroughly cowed by the advance
of the third army corps, and the only
cause for apprehension is the attitude
of the fleet WHICH is held to be doubt
full.

to send five battalions into the city

Constantinople. Apr. 20.-The report
that Sultan Abdul Hamid had abdi-
Gated caused the greatest excitement
IN the Hobbies of parliament and
spread with lightning-like rapidly
throughout the city.
A rumor OF the flight of the sultan
on a warship followed closely on that
of his abdication, but neither could be
confirmed.
Large crowds gathered at the Brit
fsh embassy, where, other reports had

there also were scores Of inquiries at
the Russian embassy concerning the
truth Of the rumor that his majesty
was under the protection of Russia OF
one of its guardships.
Reports Are Denied.
At both of these embassies all
knowledge of the sultan's movements
was denied and the Turkish foreign
office also gave a strong denial to one
and all of these rumors. The abdica-
ton of Abdul Hamid, however, appears
to be not improbable and it appears
that within day or two the consti-
tutionalists may accept as his sue
cessor Prince Yussof Izzedin, the eld-
est son of the late sultan, who is Sec
ond in line, as they are strongly dis
pleased with Abdul Hamid's attitude.

Married at Fargo.

At the home of the brides parents,
in Fargo, Sunday, April 4, 1909, oc-
Cured the marriage of Joy l. Weeks
and Grace E. Look, w. B. Rice Off
ciating.
Only the relatives of the contracting
parties were present. AS the BRIDE
has never entertained or been enter
tanned at $780," she cannot be said
to be leader of society, in fact, she
cannot tell a ten-spot from an ace.
The groom has never been a white
aproned soda-fountain boy or bell
hop in a swell hotel, although he has
herded sheep and has SO-acre ranch
near Boise, where the couple will
make their future home.
AS the bride has never won any
the pasteboards, the relatives came
to the rescue and remembered them
with several substantial presents.

THE CHRIST Is RISEN.

Tomorrow the festival OF Easter
will be celebrated throughout Chris
tendon. Besides being commemmo-
rative of the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, Easter. observance is a memoir
ial of the Christian passion-of the
atonement wrought by the death of
Christ upon the cross. Since time i'm
memorial day was set apart by the
pagans to the goddess of spring,
whence came the name. The Jews
celebrated the day of the passover of
the Angel Of Death, and the escape
from the bondage of Egypt The
great majority of the Christians at
taching greatest Importance to
Christ's resurrection, celebrate the
first day of the week. This day,
Lords day, our Sunday, was the day
of the resurrection of Christ. And so
by custom the chief significance of the
day throughout all Christian nations
is the Resurrection.
Upon this day all people cast off
the gloom of sombre death and assume
the purple of the living. In this ma
ture joins, appropriately connecting
1t in sympathy with the Gods plan of
salvation as revealed in the life and
by the death of his Son. Easter is the
source of inspiration and the cause
for the hope of all mankind. 1t is
in the springtime of the year. 1t is
in fact the resurrection of nature it.
self. The pagan celebrated the ad-
vent of spring, because the season for
the appearance of the fruits of the
soil was approaching. The Jews cell
ebrated the occasion to commemmo-
rate their deliverance from earthly
bondage; and the Christian, because
of Christ's victory over death; and
the hope 1t gives him for life after
death. So for all Easter has the
greatest significance of any day in
the year. 1t is indeed the day of hope.
1t is the day in which the promised
Christ and messiah is risen.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

The Tribune is watching the pro-
gress of the investigation of corporal
chastisement in the public schools
with interest. Last Monday the prin-
ciple of the schools made an investi-
CATION and he will undoubtedly report
his conclusions at the regular month
ly meeting of the Board of Trustees,
which occurs Monday evening. At that
time the Board will take action in all
probability. The investigation made
by the principal was confined to Sc
curing the versions of the mother and
the teacher. The mother offered to
produce witnesses, but the teachers
evidently thought that witnesses
might disturb the solemnity of the
occasion, so none we're introduced.
For the present, it was decided that
the principal, instead of the teacher,
should administer the punishment.
The Tribune was informed by one Of
the trustees that the principal would;
and by one who attended the investi-
CATION, that he did, inform the mo-
Their that if the child were to blame
he would either go to the pubic scmjol
or to the reform school, There is a
sample of four-fushing that should be
called. It's a bluff that no man should
use at such a time. 1t was the ex-
preston of an excited man, and had
no place in a fair and impartial in
vestigation. The principal was NOT
dealing with criminal that needed
to be intimidated. But these matters
will come before the Board in the re-
port of the superintendent of schools.
One thing is clear from the inves-
tigation and that is that the teachers
propose hanging on to corporal pun
ishment to the last ditch. They hate
to give it up no matter what hap
pens. We cannot understand this
stand on the part of teachers. AS
class teachers stand high. They are
educated above the average in every
respect. They should be more gentle
and more self-controlled than the av-
erage. We think nine out of ten of
them are. But now and again there
is one who is not. For the purpose
of upholding this one the whole fra
ternity accepts, defends and main
tains corporal punishment. Nine
teachers out of ten will privately adj
NIT that such method of punishment
does not appeal to them; that they
hate to resort to it; and that SO times
out of a hundred it does no good. For
the one time that they think it does
good, the system is maintained The
Tribune trusts that the Board of Trus-
tees will abolish the system that is no
longer in vogue even in prisons and
penitentiaries. It is pity that the
worst criminals can be held in disci-
pline without violence, but that little
children must be ever held in fear of
the lash.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1909-04-10

the recent election is that hope, con-
fidence and courage has returned af-
ter last years depression. Readers
of this paper will remember that in
former issue The Tribune said: at
will probably depend upon the wealth
err April 9th as to which ticket wins"
meaning, of course, that if the people
had recovered hope, they were ready
for improvements all along the line.
The election campaign was made on
the issue of municipal improvement;
and those favorable to progress won.
The election is the voice of the people
announcing confidence and authoriz-
ing an advance. The defeat of Mr..
Gowen would have meant that conf
dence was not yet fully restored and
that the future must be approached
with caution. The Tribune congratu-
lates the people, not on the election
of Mr.. Gowen in itself, but upon the
deep significance which attaches to
it, The signs are favorable. AS
nothing succeeds like success, so
nothing begets confidence like conf
dence. A feeling of security in the
present and of faith in the future now
prevades Caldwell. The great MAORI
ty of the people had strong hopes, but
they needed the encouragement of
each other to get abiding faith. The
result of the election, as stated before,
furnishes the encouragement.
The institution of public improve
ments will certainly act as an incen-
tive for private enterprise. There will
be an era of building-of construc-
tion-of development. The surround
ing country is now up to the city, and
with water on our farming lands, will
soon be ahead of it. 1t is high time
that Caldwell should awaken. We
need new enterprises and new indus
tries. We must have a Touring mill,
canning factory, securing plant,
wholesale and distributing establish
ments. Many of these institutions are
now on the way. They will come to
Caldwell, and each in time will open
new evenues of endeavor. The es-
Establishment of one new enterprise, Ell
Their mercantile or manufacturing,
will cause a great cloud to dispense
from over our city. 1t will restore us
to knowledge of the possibilities of
Caldwell.

TENTH SESSION WAS HONEST.

The Rexburg Standard has gone
through the members of the tenth
session with a microscope. 1t has
found that there is not suggestion
of dishonesty against them; not
against one of them," and concludes
that its readers should accord the
members 1.-The praise to which their
honesty entities them"
The Tribune heartily agrees with
the Standard. If the tenth session is
entitled to praise for honesty, by all
means grant it. The session will get
little praise for any other grace of
mind or heart. But it would be hard
to find body of 76 persons who had
not one redeeming feature; and when
you find such body with only one it
certainly would be unfair to deny it
the praise that feature entities it to.
We hope that the Standard is certain
on the honesty question. It would
be humiliating indeed, If some one
should disclose a flaw in the tenth
sessions record for honesty. Suppose
some heartless wretch should discover
that member or two had made use OF
railroad passes to the extent of TWEEN
ty-lve or thirty. OF course this
would not absolutely prove that any
member was dishonest, grating OF

even influenced, but it would mar the
setting of the picture; nda a picture
like the tenth session has mighty lit
tie margin to work on. While we are
bestowing our praise upon the mem
bers for their honesty, let us not
forget the Rexburg Standard, the dis
coverer of the sole virtue of the tenth
session.

ment at the hands of many of the
property owners on those streets. In
deed, we think that nine out of ten OF
the owenrs of lots are favorable to
paving. Caldwell cannot afford to per-
NIT neighboring towns to get ahead
of it in public improvements. Paw
ing is a profitable and a permanent
improvement There are a great
many taxpayers who are willing to
stand for paving, who would kick like
bay steers at making himsy i'm
provements, such as Caldwell has
many times made. There is now a
feeling of confidence abroad in the
community. There is feeling of GER
tainty among all classes, and move
ment to make needed municipal inn
improvements would strenthen
that feeling. The city must
now make up its mind to keep
abreast of the times, or else fall inn
measurably behind the procession of
the cities of Idaho. We cannot stand
still much longer.
The pavement that Nampa is laying
is the bitulithic This method was
considered the best at the st. Louis
exposition in 1904. 1t is in use in
cities from Portland, Maine, to Dali
las, Texas; and from Newport, Rhode
Island, to Portland, Oregon. The
municipal authorities throughout the
country are enthusiastic in their
praises. The cost is comparatively
nominal At the present time, The
Tribune is not advocating any partic-
ular method. AS the Warren Bros.
Co. is now at Nampa their plan is the
one that first suggests itself. There
may be other better and cheaper
methods. That is question to be in
vestigated by the municipal authori
ties of Caldwell. They must decide
that, and they cannot start too soon
investigating. The people want street
and they should have it.
