ADA COUNTY EIATED

There is great rejoicing through
out the land of Ada. Already the
denezins of the gilded bells and the
harpies of the dens of vice are
gloating over the half million tribute
that Canyon county is expected to
pay during the next two years. The
business of the saloon and the indus
try of the brothel have already ex-
perienced a start. 1t is expected that
these two will stimulate all lines
of endeavor. For weeks now
the business interests" accord
ing to the Statesman have
been in allegiance. The great
city of Boise was dependent upon the
fate of a couple dozen saloons. We
are willing to take the Statesman's
word for that. However, we will re-
mark that Boise is founded upon a
very precarious basis. When the
principal industry of city is prosti-
very precautions basis. When the
ing whisky, that city is built upon the
sand. Where 10000 people are
dependant upon half hun
dred saloon men there are hard
lines ahead. That community will
need more than half a million tribute
from Canyon county.
We wonder how fond parents can
tell their children that their success
in life depends upon the prosperity
of "the alley" and the success of the
saloon. We wonder how some people
can convince themselves that they
are nothing better than buzzards cir
cling the p rostrate form of the sheep
herder, awaiting to feed upon his
wage. We wonder how intelligent
men and women are convinced that
such things are true; and that it is
a benefit to them to pander to the
vicious and appeal to the vice ridden
of humanity. Suppose there is a
half million in it. Can it then pay?
We note in Wednesdays Statesman
that a terrible condition exists be-
cause the Galley" is closed, and the
Evil still exists. The Statesman in
fers from that that blind pigs will
succeed saloons. Suppose they do. Is it

PAVEMENT BONDS CARRY

Caldwell did herself proud at the
bond election. Four to one in favor
of spending nearly one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in public i'm
provements, shows the spirit of the
community. There is an answer to the
croaking critics and dismal pessimists
that will be long remembered. When
the word goes out over the country.
that Caldwell stands four to one for
progress to the tune of one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, the people
will sit up and take notice. They will
recall to mind that great things are
being done in arid Idaho. They will
wonder, then investigate and then
come. Confidence begets confidence,
and confidence makes dreams come
true. The people of Caldwell have
confidence in the future of Caldwell.
They know that there is no power on
earth, save themselves, that can more
than temporarily stay the progress
and advancement of the city. Situated
in the midst of the finest body of farm
and fruit land in all the west; sup
piled with adequate water; endowed
whit the finest climate in the land;
why should they not look to the fu-
ture with hope, faith and cheer?
There is an empire at our very door
awaiting development. A hundred
miles in every direction, five hundred
in some, lies the country that will and
must acknowledge Caldwell as its
financial, commercial and educational
center. There is no escape. The city is
the natural center of great and grow
ing country. 1t must keep up with the
country. To do SO will keep the peo-
pie here busy for twenty years to come.
They must take an advance step on
every possible occasion. There will be
no time for rest or vacation. The peo-
work and growth. They may know
that the levy upon their energy has
been made. 1t cannot be avoided or
postponed. Today starts the real
growth of Caldwell. 1t is good that at
such time we have people who are
anxious for the fray. We have here
citizenship of strong men and wo-
men. They came here to participate
in the reclamation of desert; the Gre
alton of great community. The OPP
portunity is here and theirs, and they
are equal to it.

look into the contented, fatherly face
of Senator Carter without liking the
whole United States Senate. Senator
Carriers dimpled, rudy cheeks, BEEN
ing eyes and long, fair whiskers
would capture any heart. He
looks like our old friends, Britt,
the butcher, and acts like Pick
wick. Like Grimes, he is ga fine
old gentleman Senator Warren
impresses one with the idea that he
knows what he is talking about and
will do what he says. He is chary of
making promises, but you understand
from him that congress knows what
it's about, and will do the right thing
in the end. We believe it will. You
know all about our home congressman
so there is no need of minding
them now. Director Newell is just
the man we thought he was. He is
one of those who would "do no harm
to nobody" He is a man one would
like and respect for his high purpose
and integrity, but but would not ex-
pect to set any rivers on fire. We
imagine that checkers would divert
his mind and ping pong would excite
him. He certainly has the interests
of the people at heart. Altogether
the visit of the distinguished men
was profitable and enjoyable. We
hope they will come again; and that
their visit was as pleasant to them as
to US.

LEGAL ADVERTISING.
PROFESSORS FIRED,g

This is a hard day for professors
at the University of Idaho. The
board of regents have decided that
professors are just common men
some of them are mighty common. If
a professor nowadays, does not do
his work properly, or is out Of har-
mony, or thinks he is running the
whole show and proceeds to run it,
he is simply fired, like any other NOR
tai. Three have been fired already.
They are French, Shinn and Hyslop.
Each of the three thinks that he is
Indispensable to the University. Pro-
fessor Shinn knows that he is, and is
seriously thinking of not being fired.
We trust that he will change his
mind about that. The board of re-
gents is a hard headed lot and Pro-
fessor Shinn will have hard time in
convincing the board that he is not
and will not be fired. The board has
made up its mind already. The Pro-
fessor should have gotten in his work
earlier in the day.
The rumpus that is being stirred
up at the university shows very clear
ly that it were high time there was a
stirring up there. Without question
ing the ability, the fidelity or the in
tegrity of any of those teachers, the
public welfare demands a change
when men imagine that they are in
dispensible and proceed 10 create
trouble because they are removed.
They and their friends have caused
and intend causing as much discen-
sion as they can. They care little for
the university. 1t is French, Shinn
and Hyslop who are the concernment
of the partisans of the fallen pro.
fessors.

of raising the standard of civic
life," as our friend Goaslind says. If
they are not, the Reclamation Service
is certainly in weak hands, when
friends can only say there is no dis
honesty. The present trip of the SEN
ate Committee is largely one of pleas
ure. All members would naturally
exert themselves to make things pleas
ant for all concerned. After all their
exertions and in all their engenuity
this is all that can be said: "there
has been no incorporation Of
funds" We would think that in their
generosity and good feelings the COM
mittee would realize that in empha-
sizing this one thing, they are loudly
proclaiming Encouragement or in
competency on the part of the SER
vice.

WHY EMPHASIZE IT?

Readers of the public prints have
no doubt noticed that the Senate Com
mittee on Irrigation, at every point
at which it stops, calls attention to
the fact that in all the work under
taken by the Reclamation Service,
there is no hint of the misappropria-
ton of funds. The speakers all en-
phasize this fact. 1t Looks to The
Tribune as though the Committee had
diligently sought for something to
say for the service and in sheer des-
peration calls attention to this fact.
We may be mistaken, but thus
far we have noticed no other
made the service.
Honesty in the administration
Of public affairs is certainly COM
as high purpose is desirable.
But are both SO seldom seen as to be
worthy of the iteration and reitera-
lion If they are things have come to a
pretty pass, and the need is pressing

WHAT'S The Use?

L. ID. GoaSllnd, state insurance
commissioner, has been bearing his
testimony" before the county auditors
of the state at Wallace. According
to the press reports of the meeting,
Mr.. Goaslind holds that the time will
soon come when the selection of the
various county officers will be taken
out of politics; that the direct pri-
mary is going to accomplish wonders
in electing good men to office and
raising the standard of our civic life.
If reports do not belle those pious
men in southeastern Idaho, whence
halls Goaslind, much has already been
done towards taking the selection of
county officers out of politics. In fact
politics cut little ice there now. The
sum total of Goaslind's achievements
in politics was the negotiation of
right bower to Cal. Bingham at
Malad convention. Why is the direct
primary necessary? We should think
chat the spread of that benign influ-
ence that first secured and now holds
Mr. Goaslind's job for him, would
avail it all. Perhaps though, this
shining example does not appeal to
the people at large. They may have
noted Goaslind's erformances, and do
not care to accept the method in
vogue in southeastern Idaho. The
Tribune does not blame them. South
eastern Idaho of late years has not
produced, to our knowledge, any bril-
liant lights in the county offices. The
southeast is as free from politics as
people can well be, and pretend to
exercise the functions of American
citizenship. Its politics is cut out
for it by the church; and the stand
ing of the candidate in the church is
the measure by which his qualifica-
tions for the Office, is estimated. We
cannot see how the direct primary is
going to make much difference there
Neither can we see how G. d. Goas-
lind can explain matters at nome. He
has admitted that the standard of civ.
ic life is low in his section of the
state, and looks to the direct primary
to elevate it. Is the direct primary
greater than Joseph F. Smith? oil
John Henry Smith? or even Georgs
c. Parkinson? If it is, the Mormon
church will take mighty little of it
If it is not, what's the use?
The idea put forth by the insurance
commissioner is that there is some
thing in political parties that is MOI
good for county officers. We have
heard that before from faddists, pur
lists and demagogues. Men of Goas
lind's stripe are always finding come
thing in party politics to shock them
They are easily shocked as a rule
Their declarations are nothing bu
pious frauds. There is nothing il
American politics that will soil tn,
skirts of Mormon elder. A party
that can administer the affairs of tn,
United States can probably handle
Oneida county. If the people there
would use little more politics, i
would probably be a good thing fol
them, and immeasurably "raise tn,
standard of their civic life"

VISIT OE The SENATORS,

Caldwell verbally overlooked with
distinguished men Saturday. There
were here Senators Carter, Warren
and Borah, Congressman Hamer,
Hon. F. N. Newell, director of the
Reclamation Bureau, and many others
of attachments if of less distinction.
The purpose of the visitation was
that the Senate Committee on Irriga-
ton might get first-hand data and in
formation concerning the condition,
wants, desires and aims of the people
living under government reclamation
projects. The people of Caldwell had
expected the distinguished gentlemen
and were loaded to the guards with
information, inquiries, fancies, sug-
gestions and ideas. The committee
patiently listening to all our ideas, as
pirations, hopes and some of our hot
air. We hope that the object of the
visit was attained. We cannot see
how the committee could really get
much practical help from the trip
they are now making They spend
too little time at each point. The
committee does, however, raise the
public opinion of the Senate of the
United States. 1t would be a good
thing for that body if it had two or
three such committees out all the time
just showing themselves. The
rankest anarchist on earth could not

Due to the activity in the recent
trouble between Director French, who
was dismissed and President Nc
Lean and the U. of /. regents, Profess
sor j. R. Shinn of the Horticultural
department and R. E. Hyslop of ag-
ronomy have also been given their
walking papers. AS director of the
school of agriculture Prof. French es-
tablished quite a reputation through
out the state but the reputation was
backed largely by wind. During the
years of his connection with the U. of
/. there is little to show for his work
around the station and in our opinion
the school will not suffer in the least
by his dismissal. It is not likely either
that the work of the institution will
suffer any by the dismissal of the sub
ordinates who have so seriously taken
to heart the dismissal of Prof.

Since the above was in type Mr..

age. He was one of the commanding
figures of his time.

A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.

Not so many years ago theodore
Roosevelt spent most of his waking
hours in lambasting men of great
wealth. E. H. Hartman was particu-
larly provocative of the Executives
ire. Hartman was a "malfactor of
great wealth." "liar" and among the
"criminally rich" He was most any
thing that was bad. The people APP
plauded Theodore Roosevelt in his
most extravagant charges. Nothing
was too bad to say against Hartman.
The most. conservative of us pictured
him as a monster sucking the life
blood of the nation. But a great
change has come over the people as
is testified by the deep Government
for Mr.. Hartman in his fight for
health. Since his return from
Europe no man has received such a
kind reception as he has. We are all
now ready to acknowledge him
strong man, virile citizen and pat
riotic American. This illustrates the
change of sentiment. The awakening
of the conscience of the people was
accomplished by wild, ungovernable
frenzy. They had suffered long and
much, and in righting matters went
to excuses. The people are subject to
essays of error, but they may be de-
pended to soon right themselves. That
is the hope of popular government.
E. H. Hartman has a wonderful
mind for organization, management
and execution. 1t is not likely that
there is another man who could sue
cessfully manage his vast enterprises.
We do not mean that Hartman is
necessary to the country. His death
would be followed by disintigation
in large measure. But other men
could successfully handle the differ.
ent parts of the whole. In the end the
dissipation of these vast combinations
of enterprises is desirable; but al
present the business world would be
greatly stunned by such an event. The
people realize this and trust that i
may not come for a few years yet.

tent here lately. Secretary of Inter-
