Plowinq For erape Leaf Hopper.

Flowing For Grape Leaf Hopper.
Flowing is sometimes done by Cali
fornia vineyardists during the winter
season for the purpose of destroying
the grape leaf hoppers. This is partly
based upon the supposition that the
eggs may be in the leaves or in the
ground or that the adult hoppers are in
some way killed in the operation. So
far as having direct effect in de-
stroying the hoppers Is concerned,
blowing is of little avail. The only
ones that will be killed are few that
may not be disturbed from their rest
ing places among the leaves or other
wise accidentally buried by the pillow.
During the cold or rainy days there
may be few thus turned under, but
ordinarily they are active enough to
escape readily before the pillow.
Flowing, however, may have an in.
direct effect on the hoppers by depriv-
ing them of food or of suitable shelter
ing places during unfavorable weather
conditions, and if this practice is gen
orally carried out In neighborhood
1t will no doubt result in reducing
the numbers somewhat. However, a
field may be free from hoppers during
the winter, but this is not necessarily
an Indication Of freedom from spring
infestation. The insects are more gen
orally distributed in the winter sea-
son, but the bulk Of them will usually
be found in the vineyard or on the
vegetation of the borders Immediately

AS a result of the marriage
license law recently passed in the
state of Washington many of the
young couples from that state
are coming to Idaho to be mar
ried. This may be lucrative for
Idaho but it is not helping Wash
ington any. The only thing left
is for Idaho and Oregon to pass
similar laws and then the young
folks will find it too far to travel
to escape the laws provisions
and will then meet it's require

Every business house in town
is urgently requested to prepare
a float for the parade on July 9Th.
With the band, liberty car, hose
carts, fire engine, nice floats,
lodges, etc., represented the pa
rade will be worth seeing and
will go a long way to show that
our citizens are willing to go to a
little trouble and expense to en-

Let each one do his part and the
parade will receive the common
dalton of all who see it.

N. X. Kurdy will leave to-

to arrive there soon from New

the Dixon residence.
According to the Grangeville
Globe, 2129 persons have signed
the petitions calling for a local
option election this fall. This is
404 signatures more than the 40
per cent required and the people
will no doubt be given a chance
to voice their opinion on the
question.
A blast which was set off at
the rear of the Hoene lot last
evening threw a large piece of
timber high in the air and it came
down on the roof of the First
National Bank, breaking through
the roof and knocking off quite a
bit of plaster from the ceiling of
the bank. Had the stick struck
the roof squarely on end it would
propably have gone through to
the lower floor and caused much
more damage than it did.

THE FARMERS BOY. :
In Many Instances He Has Mistake"
Idea Of City Life.

m Many Instances He Has Mistaken
Idea Of City Life.
The great trouble with country boys
Is that they are not aware OF the CIT
cumstances under which the city boy
is compelled to live and work II ne mas
to earn his living by the sweat OF hiS
brow. The idea held up to the country
boy is to go to town and get nlce'
easy. soft snap such as So-and-so mas
How many Of them do 1t! Not one III
thousand. Far more 60 there to hno
work in some close, stagnant MILL 10
sweat amid the fumes OF steam OF To-
bacco smoke, or perhaps In some iron
mill or foundry, surrounded py the
curses of their fellow men, toll out
weary day of eleven or thirteen hours
and after the day Is over go nome
and to such home! Up some lttle
back street in bandbox built OF DrlcK
and named a house more than likely
our workman has his home, there TO
pass away the weary hours or the
night amid the heat and stagnatlon OF
probably a filthy street only few feet
wide, hot close and dirty. In any
large city on some sultry night one
may see the workmen and their faml-
lies in these little narrow city streets
stretched about the steps and pave
ments in all conditions. These are not
slums either, but fairly respectable
neighborhoods.
To such condition of life many
of our country boys have gone, and
many more are today preparing to
go. Fat pay and big pay envel-
opes? Not in these times. If our city
laborer averages $40 a week he is
lucky man. Tens of thousands get less
rather than more. Country boy, before
you make the change, in the name of
that country you have been taught to
hold in reverence, look and do not
leap! If you understand farming there
are just as many chances on the land
to be worked out as there are in the
city.
This is great country, and If
you do not like the kind Of farming
you are working at there are many
others. If you belong to a family that
follows the grind, grind system of all
work and no play, when you reach
your majority and start for yourself
follow out an easier system. Do not
condemn country life just because you
have been unfortunate enough to be
brought up in the home of man who
knows nothing but grind. Do not over
look the fact that if such man was
your boss in the city he would grind
your life away. Long long before you
were twenty-one years old you would
be occupying some six feet of green
turf, where at last you would not hear
the dreaded call and curse of the boss.
Country life may not be and probably
: is not what many would like to color
it; but, all things being equal, it is far
preferable to city life. That is just
where it comes in. City life is never
compared with country life on an
equal plane. Remember that if you
must work in the country for living
you will have to work in the city for
one, too, and if you possess the ability
in yourself to rise above the ordinary
workman in the city that same ability
will carve out home for you in the
, country. Look before you leap, con
= slider all things, and if you are sure
! you can better yourself in the city go
If not, stay on the old farm.

yard may be of little help. When
the blowing is done In a single vine
yard or over small area it is likely
to result simply in driving them into
other fields where there is a better
food supply. Once in these other sit
uations they may or may not come
back into the vineyard where they
were originally.

A Decent Primary Law.
A decent primary law should ignore
parties just as the present primary law
ignores factions. Here in Whatcom
county we have an Eldredee faction.
Fairchild faction and a reform fac
tion which is fighting both the other
factions; but so far as the law is con
cerned. we are all republicans.
\ decent primary law would ignore
parties, factions churches; would pro-
vide for primary ballot. Any candidate
receiving majority of the votes at this
primary election would be elected and
would not have to make second cam
paign. When a candidate received a ma
ioritv of all the votes, the two who
received the largest number of votes
would be candidates at a second elec
tion. OF course. as the law would not
recognize parties. the two candidates
would frequently be members of the
dominant party For instance, here in
Whatcom county the second election
would usually lie between a reform re-
publican and am Eldredge or a Fair

How To Do 1t.

If we had direct legislation and a de
cent primary law there would be nc
In order to elect our men we must take
we can, which is to adopt a platform
representing the will of majority OF
the voters of the state and nominate
and elect men who have signed that
platform.
We have agitated long enough, Now
let rs get something at every election
| norder to elect our men we must take
care to keep our platform free of UNI
popular measures. One of the socialist
demands was that the national govern
ment should loan money without inter
est to labor organizations to give EN-
ployment to out of work members. Pass
ing entirely by the question whether
this would be wise, it is enough for us
that it is not demanded by a majority
of the voters. Socialists can keep on ad-
vocating this measure, but it would be
useless to attempt to elect a candidate

Government by Minority.
Every well informed person knows
that our governments are manipulated
by minorities corporations and bosses
run our city, state and national govern
ments, except at rare intervals.
The First Step.
The first thing to be done is to get
100 or more members in each of ten
or more counties. Then when ten or
more counties are organized, let us or
ganize the state. BY January ], 1910, we
should have 5000 or 10000 members and
will be ready to adopt o urplatform.
As each member win pay a membership
fee of 81 we will have the beginning of
a campaign fund
The Second Step.
Then we will ask all candidates for
the republican nomination to any Of
flee to sign our platform, and we cnn
defeat all who do not so sign, for We

hcans

democrats will object to the republican

A Word to Socialists.

In the Chicago platform of the social
ist party there are some forty distinct
demands (woman suffrage and direct
legislation are separate demands al
though both are included in a single
plank or paragraphl. OF these forty
or more demands, some ten are popu-
lar and could very well be included in
our Majority Rule PLATFORM; some
twenty are not demanded by majority.
and some ten are distinctly unpopular,
Now, Of course the revolutionary so
cialists who. like one woman delegate
at Chicago, said she was opposed to a
short workday, for that would make
men contented with their lot. She want
ed nothing till she could get all. This
sort of socialist will see nothing desir
able in the Majority Rule league method.
But those socialists who see that So
cialism is to be an evolution, a growth
"a little here and little there"-these
will work with us to get all that ma
ority are ready for at every election.
Then at the next election we will get
all the people are ready for by that
time.

What 1t Is Not.

The Majority Rule league is not a
propaganda for unpopular reforms. \
proposed reform that is unpopular i, OPP
posed by the majority. The sole OBJ
iect of the Majority Rule league is to
enforce the desire of the majority. Our
measure is "Is it approved by major
ity?" If it is not popular we have moth
ing more to do with it. For instance,
[ am Il single taXer but | should very
strongly oppose putting single tax
plank in the platform of the Majority
Rule league. for the very good reason
that think majority of the voters
Of Washington are not demanding the
enactment of Il single tax law.
