column of what we should classify as
hogwash or bullwash, and SAID that
1t was splendid set of city officials.
a splendid mayor, that they would
give the city splendid administra-
tion, and that they WOULD leave a
splendid record. Good taste would
dictate that you not use one word un-
til you wear 1t out, and that as the
word splendid" in Its chief modern
use means brilliant, bright, shining,
of dazzling hues or colors that re-
fleet the light or easily attract the
eye, that you refrain from holding
a lot of office-seekers UP in that light,
for the duty you owe to the public
in using pure English, and for fear
also of having another libel suit to
fight.
If you will come to Blackfoot on
the Fourth of July we will show you
a parade that will be splendid. There
will be bright colors galore that will
reflect the sun and easily catch the
eye. Among other things we expect
to have a hundred mounted Bannocks
who will be decked In splendid ar
ray of beads, blankets and paint, and
the splendor of the occasion will be
a fit subject for your pen.
But to return again to the press
supplement, the locality that enter
tains the press club at its meetings
and furnishes them free hotels and
free transportation in all directions,
does 1t with the tacit understanding
that the newspaper men will give
their locality some free publicity
when they 60 back home. The press
supplment affords an inexpensive way
to do this and at the same time give
the public valuable information and
much interesting reading matter. The
publishers who decline to use it are
taking an unfair advantage of and
showing ingratitude to the commun-
ity that showered favors upon them,
and those who carry the matter so
far as to hold everybody up to ridi-
Guile who help the good work along,
will soon come to be known by their
deeds, and be assigned to the rank
in which they belong.

said:
There they come; the rest Of the
crowd is coming.
At this the Indians cried "Me no

But soon they rode back in the
direction from which they had come.
Tormented by the fear of their re-
turning, we girls insisted on journey
ing toward town, thinking we might
make a fire in some ravine nearer

The Man insisted that we should

AT the last canyon, the only place

TO THE IDAHO FALLS POST

Last Saturday you took occasion to
say things In your morning paper that
reflect discredit upon yourself and
your community, and, were they ac-
cepted as correct, would slur all the
citizens Of the state.
Your station in newspaper work
entities you to be credited with sim
certify, and we assume that as live
newspaper men you are In search
OF the facts and this being the case,
we hand you herewith some state
ments that are In contradiction of
what you have said, and it is for you
to make acknowledgment or to re-
flute them In a manner becoming to
the rank that you aspire to take In
newspaper work. s
We refer to the article In which
you said that q supplement had been
sent out under authority OF The
Eastern Idaho Press Club that pur-
ported to be record Of the pro-
ceedings OF the organization at Its
last meeting, or history OF the de-
alterations Of the club with informa-
ton as to who attended the meeting,
and that as such 1t was a neasly fail
ure; that nobody circulated 1t except
those whose names were mentioned
In it; that most of 1t was banquet
hogWasho such as you would not
deem acceptable even as paid adver-
Using; that 1t might interest members
of the press but could be Of no inter
est to the public.
Permit US to say that Of your many
assertions in the article, only two
are correct, and the others may be
rated as absolutely untrue or as mis-
taken assumptions.
1t is true that the supplement was
sent out. 1t Is also true that it was
sent out under authority Of the club.
las to the rest Of your assertions, we
will direct attention to each in its
order.
The supplement did not purport to-
be a record of the proceedings OF the
meeting, nor was 1t ever designed to
be filled with such matter. 1t was
designed to convey to the public such
matters OF principle or mutual inter-
est as the information in the resolu-
tions published in last supplement
about the losses both to the printers
and to the people, of having the gov
eminent 60 into the printing business
as competitor and soliciting bust
ness from the public In addition to the
printing needed in government de-
partments. The chief purpose of the
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1909-06-11

press supplement was to give the pub
lie reliable Information about the To-
calities visited by the club, and this
has been done by illustrations and
descriptive articles, and by publishing
speeches made on such subjects or
on any matter OF common interest to
publishers and patrons.
The supplement contained state
ment showing what papers circulated
1t. Your slur that no names were
mentioned in the list except those
that used 1t, seems uncalled for and
prompted by pique. Your statement
that only newspaper men would be
interested in getting such informa-
stion as was condensed in Elk Governor
Gooding's address abous the great
reclamation projects around Good
ing, Dietrich, Jerome. Wendell and
Shoshone, and that Major Reeds adj
dress on how such great projects are
organized and financed, is an assump-
tion on your part that you and your
readers are not made OF the same
kind Of stun and are not Interested
in the same things.
We wish that you would define
s'hogwash" and banquet hogwash"
and then without changing your def
inition, turn to your files following
the summer meetings of 1906 at
Idaho Falls and Soda Springs and see
how you will classify a lot Of the mat
ter published in the Morning Post,
giving to its readers such matter as
you are slurring now. Tell us also
how you will classify that certain
original effort Of your own at the
banquet, that began In rhyme and
gradually changed as 1t went through
the many pages and ended In prose
that scarcely commanded attention.
IL this hogwash you speak Of is
not acceptable to the Post even at
space rates as you say, why did you
get out supplement then to give 1t
to your readers, and why do you
put so much matter In the paper now
that is no better?
We all feel a pardonable pride in the
two metropolitan dailies" published
in our district, but suffer humiliation
when we note that only one Of them
can command a flow of pure Eng
fish in their editorials. For example
you use the word proposition" as
common filler where it has no mean
ing, and destroys the force. Of your
sentence. In the article we are re-
plying to, fifth line, you say, As
a proposition of record it is a measly
failure" The supplement did not
propose anything, and 1t was not
proposition. The sentence would have
been purer and consequently strong
er, If you had simply said, las a mat
ter of record 1t was failure.
Young men should be progressive,
and should improve with age; and If
they do not or cannot improve on
their own observation and initiative
they should be grateful for sugges-
tons from others, and assuming that
you are broad and DESTROYS of inn
provement, we direct your attention
to your improper use Of the word
splendid" in your editorials. For
when the county convention
nominated it's candidates for Offices,
you said 1t was a splendid ticket.
When the state ticket was nominated
YOU said that was splendid, and when
the municipal election WAS over ir,
April you printed something like a

DEFENDS RAOE SUICIDE.

Limi! the number of children iu each
family and limit the immigration to
the United States, or else there Is grave
danger that the population may exceed
the available food supply.
Such is the advice OF Scott Nearing,
Instructor la economics at the Wharton
School of Finance and Commerce Of the
University OF Pennsylvania, In Philadel-
phia.
Speaking before the Hebrew Literature
Society yesterday afternoon on Grace
Slicide, Professor Nearing ridiculed ex-
President Roosevelt's pet theory of the
sdvisability of big families, declaring
that the snti-rsce suicide sentiment was
responsible for the increased cost Of llV.
ing expenses.
Professor Nearing Is a member oi
the socislistic colony at Arden, Del ,
that numbers among its members
some Of the leading cltzsus Of Philadel-
phis.
"The human population will soon
overtske the means of supplying it,"
he began. "If the Americans want
TO maiDtan their standard OF living
they must restrict the number Of persona
who immigrste to these shores.
Grace suicide Is good thing because
it presents an increase In population
greater than can be provided for, 1t al-
go means an easy life for women. How
can they enjoy life when they spend
their pine 10 bearing children? Families
are not beard of In America because we
have such great resources. But II the
population increases more rapidly than
these resources can be developed, they
may sgaIn appear. The population of
China is great. All have many child
rem. Bat they do not live: they
exist.
"We do not need so many people In
this country. 1t lie no longer the function
Of women to bear children, but to rear
children. If q mother Is TO spend 80
years of her life In childbearing she
cannot retain her ideals She will be-
come weakened aud she cannot bring
up her children in the way that Is her
duty"

II may sstound many, and cause some

but FIVE per cent OF these going from

cslly sIl the catch Of Accomsc county.

SAYS TIE WOMEN WILL VOTE.
"Female sDffrsge will come. Mt
fully at once, but by varying steps,"
Supreme Court Justice David j. Brewer
thus expresses confidence in the ultimate
success Of woman suffrage, In an article
which will appear 10 the December issue
of the Ladies' World.
"Woman's border education" says
Justice Brewer, "her increasing familiarity
With business and public affairs, will
lead to it. And Why moi? The chief re.
ply Is the home. God forbid that it
should be jeopsrdlzed, for upon It in all
It's fulIness depsnns the best social life.
10 fact, 1t ls the basis upon which grow
ing humanity depends. And in 1t q
woman must ever be the great factor and
unchsllerged queen.
"But female suffrage will not dsbsse
the home or lesssn its power and iuha.

duce a refining and uplifting power into
our political life. Il will not stop mar
risge, neither will a higher education.

1t is disappointing to learn that we
are not to have Mrs Pankhurst here
after all. There are not many rabid
suffrag gists here, to. be sure, but there
are a number of ardent sympathizers,
and if the distinguished leader in the
cause had been entertained. in this city
there certainly would have been no end
of excitement and not a little surprise
in store for the conservatives.
highly militant woman was given a
popular ovation in New York with
women's unions, clubs and settlements
joining in her triumphs. There was a
tremendous meeting. it seems, with the
united forces of Mrs. o. F. Belmont,
Miss Shaw, the Maud Maloners'' and
other extremists, as well as the milder
educational suffragists" who do not
believe in parades and attacks on the
authorities, but are for suffrage on
principle.
We read that her reception in Bos-
ton was no less exhslarating. Ii is
matter for criticism among the eastern
papers that many conservative women
stood in the crowd to greet their cham
pion. wearing the big badge of their
voting conviction.
Then there are the protests recorded
against Mrs Pankhurst's methods.
They say that the means for advertis-
ing are SO frankly vulgar that thought
full people must be appalled, at the
probable general effect of such doings
on the next generation. 1t is deplored
that women might lose their sense of
humor If they went the way of their
English sisters. Perhaps 1t is the saving
grace Of our generation, as some one
says. that we can still laugh at our
own follies and that a general and pro-
longed regime of the Pankhurst type
