pared to lead as they are to follow.

INSTRUMENTATION for the minis-
ters, that they will be able to teach
the people a practical religion, a re-

all agree with me that the difficulty
lies, not 80 much in the fact that our
people are not religiously inclined,
but in their inability to adapt their
religion to their every day lives and
necessities.
Perhaps in the attitude of the
minister; perhaps in the manner in
which the gospel is prescribed to
them; perhaps In their own disinter-
estedness; yet the sad fact remains
that the young people. Of the race
are growing to regard religion as
something apart from them and has
no place in their common activities.
These conditions can only be cor
rected by the trained minister, the
one who will have an eye to the prac-
teal needs Of the people he serves.
The hope of the race lies in the sal

Senator Bacon thereupon made a
statement attacking the proposed

did wrong! In reply Senator Scott
said:
II wish to ask the Senator before
he sits down to suppose, for instance
that one great concern controlled in
measure the entire cotton produc-
ton of this country and yet the SEN
ator in his state had some inpendent
cotton producers, would he not
think 1t hard if there was not some
way by which his independent cot

Mr.. Bacon found this proposition
hard one to answer and lodged it
by saying that it would be inconceiv-
able to make comparison.

GOOD FRIENDS.

Caldwell has two good friends in
the persons of Messrs. Robert Altman
of Boise and Finley Mckenzie of
Rockville. Owing to the efforts of
these two gentlemen the next meet
ing of the Idaho Wool Growers asso-
citation will be held in Caldwell. The
city should feel extremely grateful to
the association in general, but partic-
ularly so toward these two prominent
sheepmen. The three leading indus
tries of the state are the wool, timber
and lead industries. OF the three
southern Idaho is chiefly interested in
sheep and wool. In fact the whole
prosperity of this section Is In great
measure sustained by the industry.
1t is the great factor that brings mon
ey into this part of the state. The
city should spare no pains in making
the next convention of the wool grow
ers' the most pleasant and profitable
in the history OF the organization.
Helping the local sheepmen to take
care of our visitors is the best way
in which we can show our apprecia-
ton of the efforts of Messrs. Mckenzie
and Altman. Caldwell is advanta-
geously situated for conventions. 1t
has good railroad facilities, excellent
halls for public or private meetings,
good hotels and plenty of them. In
behalf OF the city of Caldwell The Tri-
bune extends a hearty and sincere
welcome to the sheepmen of Idaho.

those burning the timber to have the
balance taken off the market. Supply
and demand certainly regulate the
prices of lumber. The agriculturists
is effected because the stock industry
is the main stay of the farmer Take
the sheep out of Idaho and hay
wouldn't be worth stacking. These in
terests simply ask to be permitted to
carry out their respective occupations
without undue hinderance. OF the
two contending parties the sheepmen
have certainly shown broader Mind
edness than the government officials.
All they condemn is the policy as adj
ministered by incapable, unexperienc-
ed and incompetent officials. The
men who conduct the forest bureau
do not know conditions, being pos
sessed of hobby and ignorance, they
have done much to make life miser-
able for sheepman, miner, farmer and
lumberman, without accomplishing
a single permanent good.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

The municipal election will soon be
here, and rumors, those harbingers
of elections, are already in the air.
Two candidates for mayor have al
ready been mentioned publicaly, while
whispers of scores of dark horses can
be heard on every corner. We under
stand that Mayor c. c. Smith and DR..
A. F. Isham are those spoken of pub
licly. Both men have had experience
in the Office. Both men are familiar
with the needs of the city. We pre-
sumo that in case of his reelection,
Mayor Smith will continue along the
lines he has followed in the past two
years; of course changing as circum-
stances and conditions change. On
the whole we are inclined to think
that Mayor Smith has done very well,
and the people are reasonably we'll
satisfied. In our judgment some things
could have been handled better. These
matters we will discuss from time to
time. We do not know what DR..
Isham proposes to do, or upon what
kind of platform he proposes to run.
1t is safe to say that he
will give us a safe, sane and con-
sentative administration. He will look
carefully to the public expenditures
of the peoples money. He has made
no statement, to our knowledge, as to
the course he may pursue. We
might look back to his past admins
tration, but conditions under a thriv-
ing city and struggling village, are
so different as to give one a very
small clue as to what may be ex-
pected. Both are good men, and there
are hundreds of other good men, only
find them. 1t is time that the people
consider this matter. Within the next
two years crisis will face Caldwell.
Then it will be up to the people to
decide whether this city is to con-
tinue to grow and prosper, or wheth-
er 1t will remain practically station
airy. We need broad-minded and
broad-guaged men during the next
two years. Let us consider we'll.

A DenRrted One.

Miss Media Riddle, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Matthew Riddle, departed
this life at the home of her parents
in this city Sunday afternoon after a
year of intense suffering from a can
Ger. All that medical science could
do was done for the patient but the
dread disease could not be arrested
until death released her spirit. Miss
Riddle was born at Lodi, Wisconsin,
in 1877 and came to Caldwell about
two years ago with her parents, hay
ing been for short time in the mil
linery business. She was a teacher
in the Baptist Sunday school and was
also a member of the Rebekah lodge
of this city.
The funeral was held from the
house under the auspices of the Re-
bekahs. Rev. Steelman of the Baptist
church OBLIGATED. The deceased leaves
besides her father and mother, one
brother and two sisters, and a large
circle of friends. The bereaved fam
lily have the sympathy of the commu-
nifty in the loss of a daughter and sis
ter. The remains were laid away in
the Canyon Hill cemetery.

The Commissioners.

There has been 40 billiard and pool
licenses issued for the present quar-
ter.
The commissioners have rejected
all bids for the county physicians
job. 1t appears that the bids were
all too mystifying for the board to
figure out what they meant. So in
order that they made no mistakes the
best Latin scholar on the board will
fix up just what is wanted from the
doctors and submit it to them for bids.
The probation officer is also giving
the board some worry. 1t appears
from the bills that the present in
cumbent has been rather too expen-
siye, as his per diem and expenses
exceeded that for the sheriff's office,
being over $500 for the last quarter.
The commissioners contemplate MAX
ing the office salaried one, at about
$1,000 per month, which would ma
terially reduce expenses.

STATE PROHIBITION,

For a few days past we have been
in quandry concerning the inten-
tons of a man whom we always con-
sidered warm friend. This man
stopped the writer on the street and
gave him copy of a recent issue of
the Boise Statesman. We do not know
what to make of him. If he gave us
that paper thinking the paper to be
what 1t pretends to be, he was merely
a poor, misguided friend. If he gave
us the paper knowing 1t to be what 1t
is, he is a mortal enemy, and need ex-
pect no mercy at our hands. However
we took the paper home with us, and
after reading the sonorific editorials.
glanced at the news columns. Accord
Ing to the Statesman, several minis
ters have decided that statewide pro-
hibition is more desirable, and more
feasible, than county local option.
This is the position taken by The Tri-
bune several months ago. We urged
the Republicans of Canyon county to
make fight for state prohibition.
and If they could not get that, to then
fall back to county local option. The
experience in other states is that
unless county local option is simply
stepping-stone to state prohibition,
that 1t is more than useless. Not
many months ago the people of Geor-
gia, after a thorough trial of county
local option, abandoned it and enact
ed state prohibition law. In Geor-
gla the larger cities were left wide
open. The people soon found that the
cities were debauching the country;
and that the cities needed the prohi-
bition of the sale of alcoholic LIQUORS
much more than did the county; and
finally by letting it come into the
state, that the restriction of its sale
IN large cities was an impossibility.
The people of Idaho will have the
same experience. They will soon find
that no halfway or compromising
measure will accomplish the good. We
are glad to see the clergy of Boise
take this up. May success attend their
May we soon see the time
when Idaho will be totally dry instead
Of mostly wet.

Tribune is in receipt of one of the
first issues. The weekly is very inter
esting in many respects. We note,
however, a proneness to sameness,
which, unless overcome, will never
make a successful national weekly.
The main features of the magazine
is railroad, railroad rates and rail-
road rebates. A man with a single
idea in life may accomplish wonders
along that line, but publication with
a single idea will not long hold pub
lie interest or mold public opinion
People soon come to look upon such a
publication as simply machine by
which the publisher may exploit his
own particular hobby. The Tribune
is in hopes that the editors of La Fol-
lette's magazine may soon awake to
this fact. Such a publication as La
Follette's could be made a wonderful
power in the nation. The people nat
urally have great confidence in the
man in whose honor the publication
was named. They look upon him as
an honest, sincere and determined
mana little given to fads and con-
ceits-but on the whole worthy of
their esteem.
