tional Democratic Chairman. The
Monthly is just what the party
needed and we expect it to attain
a wonderful circulation. 1t is to
be edited largely by contributions
from leading democrats and will
without question reflect the ad-
vanced ideas of the party leaders.
1t is also official in character and
may be relied upon in all of its
utterances. 1t will become the
democratic text book and, should
be in the hands of every democrat
who desires to keep in touch with
the party policy. The price is

SUNDAY NIGHT MUSINGS.
BY T.. T. RAWALT.

Bro. Oliver had another inuuS-
trious fit last week and farther dis
cussed the amusement question.
Because he had to say something
about this editor he complains
because we agree with him in
some things and disagree IN
others. Now. my whiskered
friend. when should agree7 Is

ally that we can agree therefore

tunity comes. And again the
gentleman with the crushed
angle-worm beard finds fault be
cause we refuse to agree with the
churches when we believe they
are wrong. Churches are entitled
to respect in just that degree that
they deserve it. This week a
Methodist minister in Pueblo re-
signed his pastorate and with

mention the same thing in milder
language, we are a knocker that
wants to pull the holy church up
by the roots. Well. we will try
to live through Whisker's criticism
and just pause on the subject long
enough to say that this editor has
Eever assailed any sect that even
pretended to offer a solution to
the problem of human salvation.
We have never attacked any
mans religion. We have. and
shall continue, to attack hypoc-
racy and pestiferous meddling
with matters that concern not at
all the yaps who raise the cry.
And that will hurt the feelings OF
the Booster we doubt not, but we
cannot help it.
The pool hall ordinance was
passed last Tuesday and is now
being published the requisite time
in the Booster. Soon, likely we
shall have a resort of that char
acter in Paonia and it will fill a
long-felt want on the part of those
who seek relaxation and amuse-
merit. If it were permissible we
should suggest that list of those
who protest against its establish
ment be furnished the proprietor
and that he be prohibited from
permitting them in his place.
Every effort ought to be made to
keep the pool hall from destroy
ing the morals OF those people
who felt that its presence might
tend to demoralize them. We
are very much in favor OF safe
guarding the people who recog-
nize their own weakness. Partic-
ularly we think l. d. McFadden
and w. r. Crook ought to be
prohibited from going into that
sort of a place. If anything
were to happen that these our
two best and warmest friends were
to be led astray we should never
get over it.

THE PARMA EPISODE

It affords The Tribune great pleas
ure to re-assure its readers of condi-
lions in the Parma Public Schools.
From facts now at hand it seems the
child in the Mccoy case was accident
ally struck in the eye, and further
that the injuries sustained were not
at all severe. For the good name of
Parma and the teacher The Tribune
hastens to correct any false impress
sion that might have gotten out. The
teacher simply lost her temper and
struck the child. This frequently
happens with all of us, and The Tri-
bune would be the last on earth to
severely criticise anyone for a laps of
this character. Teachers are fire.
uuently sorely tired, but to the credit
of the great profession, it is seldom
that one loses control of himself.
Were it more frequent it would not be
remarkable.
There still remains the great ques-
ton that will not down. How long
will school trustees permit corporal
punishment in the public schools?
Is the time ever coming when this del
icate bit of savagry will be done away
with? Many years ago in all civil
lied communities, the infection of bod
lily pain upon criminals in prison was
stopped. For many years now there
have been societies to prevent cruelty
to dumb animals. A man training a
dog is careful to not hurt or brighten
him. Are dogs of higher, more sensi-
tive or more delicate nature than little
children? Why is it that we must
invite teachers to infict punishment
on our children? Not only do we per
nit it, but we even encourage it
Corporal punishment brings grief
sorrow and humiliation to the teacher
and child alike; it excites the com.
munity; and it has never done a sin
gle good to any one. Teachers hang
on to the privilege of Furnishing
children with tenacity entirely in.
comprehensive. One would thinl
that there must be some inexpressi
BILE joy in mauling little children, tx
Judge from the way teachers stay
with the idea. We know there is not
but why do they do it? The Parma
case is in point. Today the teacher
is by far a greater sufferer that TIN
child, but we dare say she would no
willingly surrender her perogative

ter. The Tribune has not space to
publish the report. However, there
was an editorial in the same issue of
the Register which summed up the re-
suits of the investigation. The article
in question follows:
"The state institution at Blacldoot
needs no defense. The conditions
which prevail, are all and more than
could be expected. The attacks made
on that institution by recent publi-
cation were uncalled for, unwarranted
and untrue and only for the reason
that those having friends and rela-
tiyes in that institution might be led
to believe some of the statements pub
lished is this defense made.
The sanitary conditions are as near
perfect as can be made, the rooms,
wards and halls, present models Of
scrupulous cleanliness and neatness.
The food served the patients is of
excellent quality, wholesome and as
well served as could be expected or
asked.
The bedding and persons of the in
mates are kept clean even unuer COLI
ditions which seem impossible. The
Discipline of the institution is remark
able those being confined seemingly
understanding that kindness and con-
sideration rules instead of force OF
harshness. The physical condition Of
the patients is well looked after, op-
portunity being given for light labor
and abundant recreation.
The management of the institution
and the farm surrounding it leaves
nothing to be desired and those who
are interested in the institution from
both the viewpoint of the tax payer
and those having friends and rela-
tives there may rest assured that their
interests are safeguarded."
There is stated the actual condi.
lions at the institution. 1t is not hear
say or reported conditions. The in
vestigation of the Register exonerate'

asylum. The facts reflect little credit

B0RAH HAS A BOOM

We note that Sen. Borah has vice
presidential boom on his hands. He
has not stated what he intends doing
with it. There are two things GER
tain and they are that Senator Borah
is of presidential size, and more
than that; and also that the people
of Idaho would be delighted to fur
nish the next vice-president Of the
United States. If Senator Borah
wants it we are here to see that he
gets it. Probably he would rather be
a senator of the United States than
the vice-president He has made q
wonderful record in the Senate, but
has just started. During the next
five years the senate will furnish
him a wider field for his activity
than any other place on earth. He
can do Idaho, the west and the nation
an immense good in the senate, but
the vice-presidency is not to be
sneezed at by anybody. 1t is not a
graveyard for promising statesmen,
nor the end of useful careers. Amer
lea has had q presidents, counting
Cleveland twice. Of those 81, eight
had previously been vice-president.
The position has been occupied by
such men as John Adams, Thomas
jefferson, George Clinton, John c.
Calhoun, Schuyler Colfax, three times
speaker of the house and Theodore
Roosevelt. Such men as John Tyler
Willard Fillmore and Andrew John
son achieved Immortality via. the vice
presidency route. In fact Theordoe
Roosevelt would never have been pres
ident had the vice-presidency moi
been forced upon him. John G. Cal.
houn is the only man who ever got
tired of the job and resigned. As
stated above seven vice-presidents
have subsequently become president
Four were elected and five succeeded
upon the death of the president. Si1
vice-presidents died in Office. ACTIVE
men of vice-presidential size are in
clined to decline the honor because i
temporarily forces thin into politica
inactivity in measure. But the cleo
ton to the e-presidency is equale,
in honor only by an election to tn
presidency, and not exceeded even b.
that. Few men would absolutely re
fuse such an honor if rendered them
notwithstanding the jokes of thu
jokesmith or the protestations of pol
iticians.

NOTHING TO CONCEAL

On another page of this issue of The
Tribune will be found the reply Of
President M. E. Lewis to the Pomona
Grange committee, appointed to in
quire into thte causes for the removal
of Professors French, Shinn and Hy-
slop. The letter from President
Lewis is SO clear and straightfor
ward as to at once inspire confidence
in the minds of all unprecedented per-
sons. The regents of the Univer-
sity invite the closest investigation
of all matters connected with the IN
stitution. They court inquiry and ex-
animation and are ready at all times
to assist any responsible committee in
it's investigation. The suggestion that
the committee meet at Moscow is
certainly reasonable and proper. AS
President Lewis says, the University,
the records and the experiment farm
are at Moscow, and the regents will
be there about the middle of October.
Moscow is the place to meet for such
an investigation. The Tribune hopes
that the committee will avail itself of
the invitation extended 1t. Having
gone so far, the Grange owes it to
itself, the people of Idaho and the Off
GERS of the State University, to make
thorough investigation. If the re-
gents are not working for the best in
terests Of the school; if the conditions
did not warrant the removal of the
professors; if decentralization will fol-
low in the wake Of the boards ac-
ton; or, if there is anything wrong
at the University the people of Idaho
want to know it. A great fuss has
been stirred up. To The Tribune it
looks as though partisans of Profess
sor French had exaggerated his impor-
lance to put it as mildly as we can.
We cannot believe that Mr.. French is
indispensable. We cannot believe but
that the regents of the University
acted for the best interests of the in
stitution. The frenzy OF the French
followers bear us out in our original
conclusions. But that is not the
point. The Grange has taken upon
itself to find out the true conditions.
We wish to urge it on. We hope moth
ing will interfere to cause the Grange
committee to fail to thoroughly and
searchingly investigate. 1t should
do it or forever hold its peace.

should now be dropped. 1t is time to
investigate and decide upon municipal
ownership. Caldwell is peculiarly for
tunate in more ways than one at the
present time. There are power COM
panies seeking markets. Mr.. Sebree
has no immense plant that the city
would have to take over, and the city
has granted no compromising or en-
barrassing franchises. Now is the OPP
perfume time for the city to go into
this business. Let there be nothing
done to the present franchise or any
new ones granted.

COMMISSIONERS TO GATHER

We read in the newspapers that
Governor Brady contemplates calling
state convention of the county COM
missioners of Idaho. We hope that he
will reconsider his proposal, or at
any rate insist that each commissioner
pay his own expenses. Idaho is al
ready too strong on official conventions
held at the public expense. The coun-
ty attorneys, the county recorders,
the county assessors and the county
sheriffs already hold regular annual
meetings, at the expense of the people.
Now to get the commissioners to-
gether for good little time is little
too much. The county recorders re-
Gently held a state convention at
Wallace. We presume they had a
good time. If they didn't there was
an immense waste of time and mon
ey. AS near as we can figure it, the
recorders did nothing of importance
or value to the state or counties ex-
cept listen to the virtues of the direct
primary as expounded by C. d. Goas-
lind. We think it would have done as
much good, and certainly would have
cost less, for the state to have pub
lished and circulated a tract on the
Goaslind method of government as
exemplified and demonstrated either
in Bear Lake or Oneida counties. The
assessors meet regularly. The sum
total of their achievements is a reso-
luton asking for a constitutional
amendment making assessors eligible
to succeed themselves. We haven't
the remotest idea in the world what
the county attorneys do for the good
of the county at their annual meet
ings. They can already succeed htem-
selves as often as the people will
stand for it. We can't cipher out
what the county commissioners will
find to do. Commissioners are all
alike. You could take the whole
bunch in Idaho, mix them up in q
sack, and we dare say there is not a
person in the state could pick out the
three that belongs to his county.
The Tribune has no objection to
conventions if they see fit to have
them. But we do see why the people
should not be called upon to pay the
expenses. We are all the time howl
ing at extravaganza and at the same
time every one of us is laying awake
nights devising schemes to make our
selves more costly to the people. Of

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

TIL ownership of lighting plants
by the municipality is not an expert
ment in America. In fact the trend
of public opinion for many years
past has been toward such an end,
with the result that cities through
out the country have installed or
purchased power plants as soon as
&c themselves able so to do.
80 rlltter of furnishing water and
light by individual effort is not looked
vor at the present day.
Situated as Caldwell is it is folly.
In this case we do not need an ex-
tensive plant with an immense finan-
cial investment. Power companies
are at our very doors seeking the dis
posal of their wares. All that is re-
quired of the city is plant for the
distribution of the power over the
city. There is here such distribut-
ing plant upon which the city has
an option. The thing for Caldwell
to do is to take advantage of the
wisdom of the fathers who tackled
that option onto the franchise grant
ed in 1902. Those fathers probably
builded a great deal better than they
knew. The time has arrived when
the people realize that a franchise
is a thing of value. Caldwell would
indeed be foolish to give away her
valuables. If the purpose of govern
ment is the accomplishment of the
good of the greatest number, then
Caldwell should look out for the in
terests of the individual citizens and
residents of the community. Is there
man in Caldwell who would sell
out our present water works to a
private corporation for thrice it's cost ?
Such a one would be hard to find.
Then take heed, and let it be the
same with the lighting plant. The
people of Caldwell want municipal
ownership and they look to the coun-
Gil to see that none of their rights,
powers or privileges are lightly dis
posed of.

The Grangeville Globe says: At q
convention of the Southwestern Idaho

Nampa, resolution was passed COM
hitting that organization in favor of
a special session of the legislature for
the purpose of passing a state-wids
prohibitary law. Charles Hackney Of

the convention and favored the reso.
luton. The teachers institute of Ada
county recently in session at Boise,
also passed a similar resolution
asking that a statewide law be en-
acted prohibiting the sale and manu-
facture of all kinds of intoxicants.
The press, the public instructor and
