GRAFTERS IN THE ORIENT.

The American people will feel bet
ter to know that the Japanese are not
perfect. The latest developments show
that members of the chamber of dep
uties are guilty of grating; and that
there are traitors among the subjects
of the mikado This of course is de-
plorable, and yet it is comforting.
During the past four years the people
of the world have been lead to think
of the Japanese as perfect beings,
mentally, morally and physically. They
were Drawer and more patriotic than
the citizens of any other country; they
had reached higher plane in the sci
ences and arts, than any other people;
they could fight harder, endure more,
and see further than any other ma
ton; said the admirers of the Japan
csc. They were supposed to be above
reproach in honesty, fidelity and pa
triotism. They were the model for all
people to emulate. Our own presi-
dent, was so taken up with them, that
he took lessons in their peculiar
method of personal attack and de-
Tense. We all considered them little
less than demi-gods, and all of them
praise and fearful in our minds. The
military authorities of the world look
ed upon them in establishment. The
yellow peril doomed up bigger and
more frightful than ever before. This
being the case the knowledge that they
are not invulnerabler in character is
reassuring. If they are not perfect
morally we have good reason to think
them imperfect in other respects. The
disclosures will knock off several
pounds of glamor from the Japs.
Its about the same as it was with
the American Indians. Novelists witt
vivid imaginations once painted tht
Indian in the liveliest colors in theil
paint shop. The Indian was grea
hero in the novels. Closer acquain
lance proved him to be lazy vaga
bond at best, and a treacherous scoun
drel at worst. He was dirty, lazy
/ gluttinous. If he ever had virtue
was buried in the dim and distar
past. Closer acquaintance with th
Japs will show that they have SON
virtues and many faults. 1t will sho
them to be capable, after several gel
erations of training, of coming up
} the white man. The recent disclosul
} proves only, we think, that the Jal
anese have cultivated the faults ;
well as the virtues of civilization.

The Clock Stops Again.

Standing room was at premium
at the Fair yesterday when the large
30-day clock in their window was
unveiled long before the time an
nounced for the unwilling. The
crowds with their time tickets began
to gather at Caldwell's most popular
trading place, promptly at $50 p. M
the clock was unveiled by Mr.. Aven
and it was found that it had stopped
at 4 O'Clock, thirty minutes and 55c
and the time ticket stamped nearest
that time was held by G. Mason, and
he received the first prize of $500,
with Mrs. Gibbons as close second
and receiving second prize of $500.
Mr.. Aven announces that the clock
will next be unveiled on Friday, May
7th, at $50 p. m. sharp. A time ticket
will be given with each $1.O0 cash pur-
chase of goods at the store.
Mr.. Aven announces that special
bargains will be shown in his Big
Place to Save Money store each day
until the next drawing.
Keep all your tickets. They are
good, and get as many more as you
can.
Remember the time-Friday, $50 p
M, May 7th and be there with your
tickets.

will come to Caldwell either to see us
on the Fourth, or to see pumpkins
and rutabaggoes at the Fair. We
have decided for all time, we suppose,
that the rutabaggo exhibition is the
best for Caldwell, and will let it go at
that. This is only another manifesto
ton of the fact that commercialism is
rapidly overcoming everything else
in American life Today the citizens
of Caldwell estimate that for fifteen
hundred dollars we can have quite a
blow out, and so many hundreds of
people will come to town who will
spend so many hundreds of dollars.
That is the whole thing. If we can
get more people who will spend more
money on some other occasion, the
latter is the one for us. 1t is simply
a question of dollars and cents.
The Tribune thinks that July the
Fourth should be celebrated by every
city, village and middlesex in the
country if for no other reason than to
remind the youth of the day commem-
morated. Parents should instil in
the minds of their children a sense of
patriotism. They should remember
that government by the people has
not yet been proved success. The
republic is not yet beyond danger. In
our strength and pride we grow ar
rogant, with but little credit to our
selves. Republics have been born,
lived and died before. Civilizations
fiourished and passed away ages ago.
1t is only the fool who thinks America
safe from the despot. 1t is only the
foolhardy who neglect to exercise that
eternal vigilance which is the price OF
liberty. 1t is a sad sign when commu-
mites become SO absorbed in other
things that they cannot afford to de-
vote one day in the year to the cult
walton of patriotism, the love of coun-
try.

COLLEGE ENTHUSIASM.

The people of Caldwell are getting |
more enthusiastic every day over the
for college at Caldwell.
1t is now morally certain that the
conditions of DR.. Pearsons and Mr..
Carnegie will be met. If this be done,
the way is open for more and greater
donations and endowments. The first
step is the hardest one, and at this
time 1t is imperative that the people of
this community show their faith and
confidence in substantial manner.
The people of the East, list of whom
appears elsewhere, have made 1t pos
sible for Idaho to have great edu-
cational institution. They and others
will help the college in the future,
provided we make good now. The
conditions imposed seemed onerous at
first, but on second thought, we real
ize that none of the Eastern subscrib-
ers have asked too much. We are now
starting a great school. The people
who are contributing do not do things
by halves; they do not waste their
money; they do not start things they
cannot finish. They are now laying
the foundation, and they have a right
to ask the people of Caldwell to show
that they are in earnest. They have
a right to make us assure them that
this is no hot-air institution started
to advertise our resources or sell real
estate. We must convince them that
we not only have faith in the future,
but are willing to add our money to
that faith. DR.. Boone has been conn
PEELED to convince Eastern men that
Caldwell was on the map, and also
that it would stay on the map. He
had to show them that there were peo-
pie here, that more were coming; and
that all could make living when they
got here. In short, that Idaho was
big enough to need a big institution;
and that Caldwell was the very spoa
/ where that institution should be To-
Gated He has almost done this. There
remains only one thing to do; and that
is to raise $100,00000, as an evidence
of good faith on the part of Caldwell.
This is now up to the people here.
They will do it. The Eastern people
have done their part. A little more
college enthusiasm in the shape of
$4,000 subscriptions is what is now
wanted.

THE NEW WARDEN.

The new warden of the state peni-
Tertiary, Hon. John w. Shook, of
Lemhi county, has taken charge of
that institution. He has the best
wishes of the people of Caldwell and
Canyon county irrespective of politics.
Mr.. Shook was members Of the tenth
session of the Idaho legislature. He
was careful, far-seeing legislator.
The people of this county feel particu-
larly kindly toward him because he
took position against the division of
Canyon county, and stayed with it to
the end. He could not be hoodwinked,
bought of scared into going against
the best interests of the people of the
county. In other matters that came
up for consideration he took a prom
inent part. AS a man, Mr.. Shook is
of a high order. He is energetic, de-
termined and responsible. He is vel
known throughout the northeastern
part of the state. The Tribune be

cessful administration of the Idah
penitentiary during the next tw
years.

to law or the public good. He has

of the West will breathe a sigh of re-
leaf when respect for the law is again
enthroned in the bureau. President
Taft is of an entirely different order
of man than ex-President Roosevelt.
Under his administration a great many
changes will be made in all the de-
partments of government. The change

welcome in Idaho

Cabbage, tomato and young plants of
other kinds will be much stockier and
more vigorous If they are transplanted
several times before being set in per
manent bed. The process of trans
planting seems to develop an excep-
tionaIly strong root system. which en-
ables the plant to make vigorous
growth when it is finally set out.
Since cultivation is given growing
crops not only for the purpose of de-
stroying weeds, but for the stirring OF
the soil so as to facilitate a proper cir
culation of moisture in the soil and
radiation of heat, pains should be
taken to cultivate growing things
whenever possible shortly after heavy
rains. so as to prevent the earth from
baking and thus interfering with the
processes above referred to.
Contrary to the opinion which may
be at first quite naturally held by some
of the little folks who may now and

instead of growing on trees and bushes
as do most other varieties of nuts

SIOUX CITY LAD OFFERED A HALF
MILLION FOR PATENTED
REMOVABLE STOPPER
FOR BEER BOTTLES

Refuses Offer of Half That Sum
Stopper May Be Repaced-General
News of the ststs. as,
speoia, q Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, April 5.-Moses Aliber,
a Jewish lad of is, years, employed in
a loan office at 400 Metropolitan block,
is assured of riches exceeding those of
any other man in Sioux City, by the
high value of patents on a self-open-
ing beer bottle stopper which has just
been issued to him by the United States
government thru his patent attorneys.
Conservative estimates place the val
lie of the patent at S1,0O0.0O0. The
Crown Cork and Steel Company, which
now controls the bottle stopper indus
try, is capitalized at $12OOO,oO0 and
the patents expire this month.
Young Aliber has been offered
5000 for his rights in his inven-
tion, but refused the offer. There is
little question that the possession of
the patent, and the royalties that will
develop from the idea, means an enor-
nous fortune to the -Aliber boy.
Moses Aliber is the son of n. Aliber,
a grocer of Des Moines. His educa-
ton was obtained in the public
schools of Des Nloines like that of
hundreds of other children. Altho
he was naturally bright there was
nothing to distinguish him from the
ordinary school pupil of his race.
Like nearly all other useful inven-
tions the bottle stopper perfected by
Moses Aliber is so simple that every
one who sees it asks: why hasn't it
been done before?"
The new bottle stopper is stamped
out of ordinary sheet metal from
which bottle caps are now manufac-
tured. Heretofore it has been neces-
sary to use a special wrench or tool
to remove the caps from beer, mineral
water, pop and other bottled drinks.
With the Aliber patent every bot
tie is a self-opener. BY inserting the
finger nail beneath the little metal
tongue and prying it upward the cap
is loosened and the bottle opened.
The invention works quickly. saves
time and the increase in cost OF the
cap is trifling. The cap may be re-
placed on the bottle when it is de-
sired to preserve the contents, a fea-
ture not possible with the present
style cap.
