Yesterday about 8 p. N. Marshal
Dryden was phoned to come down to
the section house. On arriving there
he found six hoboes busy throwing
stones at the Greek section men and
at the section house. Just before he
arrived he saw them roll a key of
beer out of some bushes. His first
work was to surround the lot, but
there were too many for him to handle
at one time, but he brought two to the
cooler and then went after the other
four. After a tussle he landed them in
the city Jail and with the assistance
of a dray brought the beer up town.
There is room in the Jail for four but
six crowds it some. A stone pile would
materially help to make these tourists
give Caldwell the by-by-they are get
ting altogether too numerous.

EDUCATIONAL BANKRUPTCY.

Men of affairs have long realized the
impracticabihty of the present meth
DDS of education; but the laity is ever
timfd in its criticism, and consequent
ly modern pedagogy has not been call
ed to account. We accepted the the
cries handed down to us without ques-
ton. The idea and theory of educa-
ton, originating during the dark ages,
are still accepted and practiced, I'M
changed and unimproved today. She
theory is that the acquisition of prac-
teal knowledge is a matter of indif-
ference in education; that the thing
to do is to train or educate, the mind
by course in absetract mental gym
nastics; and that naturally the per-
son so trained will think intelligently
and act nationally in the affairs Of
life. To carry out the idea, the course
Of study is along lines entirely foreign
to everyday affairs. Reading, writing,
and arithmetic will do for the kinder
garten; but geometry, Latin and logic
are the proper gymnastics for the sec
ond grade and up. The results are
that the schools turned out graduates
by the thousands who could perform
their little intellectual stunts in a
highly creditable manner, but who
were incapable of taking hold of the
common affairs of life. They could
theorize but could not make a living
In short, to all practical purposes the
time spent in school was total waste
In other words the trained or educat-
ed mind had to get the experience af-
forwards, before it could do anything
in the line of accomplishment.
The Tribune knows that if it made
such statements, uncorroborated, il
would be hooted down. We have Ions
had these ideas in mind, but lacket
courage. In the current issue of tn,
Worlds Work magazine will be fount
an article from the pen of DIR. Freder
ic Buck, president of the San Fran
cisco State Normal school, in whic
he expresses the same views as W
hold, and in which he gives moder
pedagogy some things to think abou
DR.. Bucks article Is headed "Educs
tlonal Bankruptcy" and in 1t he give
the history of our present idea of edu
cation; and the results of the apphcS
ton of the theory. Teachers, who al
enraptured with present methods, wi
find little consolation in the articl
We call attention to this at the tin
because he intends publishing a serie
of articles, and teachers would d
we'll to carefully read them. AS the
are from the pen of a man of author

FARMERS GETTING BUSY.

The farmers and homesteaders on
the north side, assisted and encourag-
ed by a few Caldwell business men,
have decided to take steps toward re-
claiming their lands. They intend
holding meetings throughout thes en-
tire project this week, and to have a
big general meeting at Caldwell a
week from Saturday The purpose of
the meetings are to arouse and awak-
en- the farmers, themselves. The gov
eminent will be asked to either start
work on the north side project or else
step aside and allow private capital
to undertake the reclamation of the
land. 1t would seem that the govern
ment would have no excuse for longer
continuing a dog in the manger poll
cy. If it cannot start to work at once
it should let others get in. The Tri-
bune thinks that the majority of the
people would prefer private capital
to take hold of the project. This
would assure quicker and surer water
than under the government For six
or seven years now the government
has been getting ready to undertake
the reclamation of the north side; and
nothing has been done to date. If
private capital is interested the work
will be done as rapidly as men can
do 1t.
The circulars, a copy if which ap-
pear elsewhere in this issue of The
Tribune, appeals to the farmers to get
busy. The homesteaders are the most
vitality interested of any class within
the project, but everybody else is
greatly concerned. It means the

most respected and one Of the most in
fiuential citizens of his great adopted
state. He came with will and stay
ed with a purpose, succeeding, OF
course. But that only gives one IL
Illustration. Along the line of the
parade were a hundred men, who had
done likewise. Among the rich bank
ers, merchants, miners, stockmen
and farmers of Idaho, we will venture
the assertion, that there are not 5O
who came to Idaho with money,
friends or pull. They were shrewd,
Woodworking, determined lot of men
those early pioneers-and all credit
is due them for their successes. But
it must be remembered that the OPP
portunities were necessary to success.
Here in Idaho they found the oppor-
tunity, and that opportunity still
awaits tens of thousands more. 1t
will be easier during the next rs years
to make a fortune in Idaho, than II
was during the past 25 years. Much
of the hard, rough work has been
done. The way has been prepared
Idaho has become known and re-
spected. Capital is easily interested
All the state now needs is people
Every one of those who came with the
Drawn to work, the brain to think ano
the soul to stay a little while, will
succeed.
In 1881 Robert Altman came tt

Caldwell disguised in the same raj
ment. But since that time he ha;
amassed a fortune of wealth, and {
wealth of everything that makes
successful life. The youth of Idaho
should know that for them awaits thu
opportunity. All they have to do II
to go to work.

THE REGISTER CHANGES.

The Idaho Falls Register has passed
out of the hands of William E. Wheel
err. 1t is now owned and published by
Marshall B. Yeaman, who a year ago
purchased a half interest, and now
buys the other half. Editor Yeaman
promises to continue in the path of
Editor Wheeler, and in doing SO, the
people of Idaho will wish him sue
cess.
The change in the editorship Of the
Register is of more than passing in
terest. For over rs years the Register
has been one of the leading newspa-
pers of Idaho. 1t has been power
full factor in the political affairs and
industrial development of the state
Under the editorship of w. E. Wheel
er, the Register has been honest, fear
less and candid in the discussion o
public men and issues. 1t has won al
enviable reputation among the think
ing Ysn of Idaho. Under the new
management we wish it success. W.
also take this occasion to congratulate
Editor Wheeler upon his long and use
full newspaper career; and wish hin
success, prosperity and happiness 70
many years to come, whatever line c
endeavor he may take up.

PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

Two weeks ago The Tribune pub
lished want ad. to the effect that
we were sorely in need of one of the
new maps of Idaho. We are already in
receipt of two. One from Senator
Hepburn and one from Congressman
Hamer. These two gentlemen have
our sincere thanks. The Tribune be-
lieves in scratching the back of those
who scratch ours. Therefore we will
say again, that Senator Hepburn and
Congressman Hamer are two estima-
BILE gentlemen and able representa-
tives. They are doing we'll by Idaho
and of course, the moral is that II
pays to advertise in The Tribune.

A BUNCH OF
CRIMINAL CASES

F. C. Pierson, who was committed
to Jail on a charge of vagrancy, was
taken to the county poor farm Tues
day. Pierson is very low with con-
sumption.
Peter and Jess Garner were
lodged in Jail Tuesday night on the
charge of forging Charley Madden's
name to two checks, one for $40 and
the other for $500. They will have
their examination next week in Judge
Hagelin's court.
The eight prisoners awaiting trial
for robbing a freight car at Nampa
were brought before Judge Bryan
Wednesday and all plead not guilty
and demanded, through their attor-
ney, that they be given separate trials
1t looks now as though the court and
officers would not be able to attend the
exposition. There is one bunch of
eight prisoners who were arrested for
breaking into a Short Line freight
car at Nampa, then in addition to the
charge of burglary, they will also
have to face the charge of having at
tempted to make their escape. 1t
looks very much as though they were
elected for the penitentiary. But the
matter which confronts he court is,
that each one demands a separ-
ate trial and they cannot be denied it.
Then there is another lot of three who
also demand separate trials. If they
persist in their demands it will re
quire twelve or fifteen juries before
they are all passed on. Besides this
above there are three cases for hors'
stealing and one for embezzlement
and two for forgery. The crimina
cases will be disposed of first and tn
court may be able to sandwich in
{ divorce case occasionally just to re
lieve the monotony, but civil cases wi
have to wait.

DUG Up MONEY
after A YEARS

Harrington with a relic which was
most thankfully received. 1t will be
remembered that on July 4th, 1904,
was the last time that Caldwell cele-
brated the glorious fourth, by having
barbecue. The money for the af-
fair was raised by public subscrip-
ton. H. D. Blatchley was the Gus
todian of the funds. After all debts
were paid there remained a balance in
his hands of $500. Instead of blow
ing it in, he deposited it in one of the
banks until such time as another
barbecue would be pulled off in Cald-
well. The time arrived Thursday,
and on Wednesday he transferred his
trust, which had increased from $85
to S105.37 to Mr.. Harrington and It
will be ueed to pay in part the ex-
pences of Homesteaders' day celebra-
ton.
Photographs of Mr.. Blatchley can
be obtained on application.

BANKS should
Open in EVENING

EulUOF 1rtDun6.
The banks down east have a very
sensible custom. Between the hours
of and every evening, the banks
are open for the reception of dposits
and the merchants and others are ac-
commodated. Stores that close at 6
and $50 can deposit all the money
they have on hand, and are not made
to suffer the inconvenience of keeping
their money over from day to day to
make change. Here the merchant
must figure on keeping at hand
change enough to last from 8 to Z D.
m, and some day some passing crook
will learn of the Caldwell custom and
there will be some wiser merchants
and the banks will adopt the whole
some eastern custom. Why not adopt
the eastern custom before any serious
loss is sustained? In many places In
the east pay day comes Mondays and
on pay day nights the banks are open
until s or 8 o'clock that the working
people may have their checks cashed.
Could not Caldwell banks also have
their doors open Saturday nights for
this same purpose? 1t would be quite
a convenience. M.
