oNEIL FAvoRs A CONVENTION

If the mass of the republican voters
of the state are in favor of holding a
meeting or convention, or whatever
they may choose to term it, prior to
the direct primary election, l am in
favor of it. 1t is a question that is
put to the people and so far as I am
concerned in the matter l am content
to be governed by their feelings. l
have heard suggestions made by some
of the party leaders that it would be
advisable to hold a state meeting
prior to the primary election, in view
of the trouble that has been exper-
fenced in the Oregon and Washington
primary elections, but of course the
question has only been discussed in
a casual manner. No steps toward
this end have been taken.-B. F.
O'Neil.

THE ASSEMBLY" METHOD.


The assembly" method is the name
given in Oregon to the plan of hold
ing conventions or advisory meetings
for the purpose of determining party
sentiment regarding candidates for
nomination in the direct primary.
The matter of adopting this plan in
Idaho is attracting much attention in
the press throughout the state, from
which it appears that the sentiment
for and against is about evenly di-
vided as far as the republican party
is concerned. There is certainly moth
ing in the letter or the spirit of the
law that can be urged against this
plan, nor can there be under our
form of government, for the right of
free assemblage and discussion is one
our most cherished privileges. But
there are those who insist on being
"shown" even if the price of their ex-
perience is democratic rule for at
least two years. They are not willing
to profit by the experience of other
states who have discovered the weak
ness of the direct primary law and
are unanimously in favor of the cas-
sembly method to remedy it. In order
to humor these theorists, assuming
that their motives are worthy, who
still regard the direct primary as the
cure for all political evils, it might
be well to let the law operate on it's
merits. Let the budding ambition of
every freak political reformer burst
into full bloom on the primary ticket.
If Idaho must pass through a period
of mixed democratic, socialist and
populist rule, perhaps the sooner we
take the dose the better; and it may
be that now is the most favorable
time while the republicans are in
control of the national government
and Idaho has two stalwart republi-
can senator's to take away the curse.

WONDERFUL SURGERY.
Without Mouth, AesOphagus or StOm.
ach He Still Lives.


His guIlet closed and his stomach
turned to gristle by copious draught
of hydrocholoride acid, which he had
swallowed, Charles Allen, of Oakland,
Calf, is nearing recovery after a SER
les of operations, the last of which
involved the replacing of the mans
mouth with silver tube in the prox-
unity of his diaphram through which
he takes predigested food. The oper-
alton disclosed an almost hopeless
state of internal affairs. The asoph-
agus had closed so that the man
couldn't swallow. On exploring the
region of the stomach it was found to
have turned to a gristly ball which the
surgeons removed, leaving a pouch as
big as a fist. All the mucous mem
brane had been destroyed so that nei-
Their gastric juices nor pepsin could
be secreted.
The stomach was drawn close to
the abdominal wall and tube was in
serted through which the food was
introduced. His condition is such that
the surgeons have begun to feed him
in small quantities of undigested food,
thinking that the mucous membrane
is gradually being restored in the rem
ant of the stomach. Today it was
found that Allen could swallow again
and another operation probably will
be made to connect what is left Of the
aesophagus with the spire of the
stomach in the hope that the lost It's
sues will be replaced by notifications
of the existing membranes. The case
has afforded the first real opportunity
for the study of predigested foods and
their use.

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS

One thing that can be said to the
credit of the present city administra-
ton is that the improvements being
made be permanent. The street
crossings and side walks are all of a
substantial and permanent nature.
AS one of the councilmen expressed it,
I'VE are going to spend the money,
but the people will get something for
their money" We think the people
will not kick much at reasonable ex-
penditures, provided they get some
thing in return. The trouble has been
that the money has been squandered
in the past. 1t was frittered away
uselessly. OF all the revenue raised
by taxation in the last twenty years
in Caldwell-amounting to tens of
thousands of dollars-all the city has
to show for it is half dozen street
crossings. Expenditure of money
that brings some real tangible result
is seldom objected to. We think the
people of Caldwell will endorse the
present administration methods.

About the only conclusion the people

THE HookwoRM

San Francisco, Nov. 4-The hook
worm disease has been brought to San
Francisco from Hawaii and the Orient,
and hundreds of cases of hitherto un.
explained detection, laziness and sup
posed lack Of moral initiative are now
attributed to the inroads of the little
parasite. DR.. Herbert Gum, who is di-
rcctlng campaign of physicians
against the disease says:
Il have treated more than 100 cases
OF hooiWorm in this city. | recall at
least one death due to it, that of a
boy who died in the Lane hospital two
years ago. The disease has not been
known to exist in California except in
very rare instances, until four years
ago. A colony of laborers who We're
born in the West Indies came here
from Hawaii and Is per cent We're
found to be seriously affected"
In addition to the islanders. many
soldiers Of the Philippines and trav-
elers and business men from the
Orient have returned afflicted with
the small vampires.
The parasites in the country districts
are usually acquired through the skin
of the bare feet Infected water and
cooked vegetables also spread the dis
ease. Army officers and private SOL
diers have been known to pick up the
worm in their wet shoes while tramp

Application of a polceman's twisters
saved the life of Frank Mullen of Bat
hurst, n. b., Tuesday night at Old
Town, after he had attempted suicide
by severing an artery in his wrist.
Mullen, who is employed in the pulp
mill there, had been drinking for sew
eral Gays, but was trying to sober up.
He borrowed a dull jacknife from q
friend and going to a barn slashed
himself in the throat and both wrists.
His condition was discovered and when
a policeman attempted to arrest him
Mullen went into a frenzy. The ofFl-
GERS tWisters played the double pur-
pose of subduing him and stopping the
flow of blood. which. the physicians
say, would have been fatal in a snor,
time. Mullen was taken to the City
hospital and his recovery is believed
to be a matter of a short time.

mers' Ability Wilde 0Verta1ed.
Plenty Of Soil Products Now, But
Wrong Methods Used.

washington, Nov. 4-Some day the
steady increase of population in the
United States is bound to overtaX the
ability of the farmer to provide for its
sustenance; but that day is very re-
mote, according to Sec. Wilson of the
agricultural department. Nor will it
be necessary in the immediate future
to import grain for bread, notwith-
standing the doleful predictions OF
some publicists. Everything depends
upon the disposition Of the American
farmer to make the most Of the re-
sources of his land, and to improve his
methods of agriculture in accordance
with the needs of the people.
The secretary is optimistic just now,
and he pointed to the figures of the
crop production within his reach,
showing that the value of the Amerl-
can farmers output for one single
year aggregated the enormous total
of $3.50, 900, 900. That was for the cal
endar year 1908, but the secretary was
confident that having in mind the
higher prices of the present, the total
for this year would certainly be as
large or perhaps larger.
the production of wheat is excellent in
the opinion of Secretary Wilson, Last
wear no less than 60,000,000 bushels OF
Durum wheat were grown in the Unit
ed States and DR.. Galloway, VINO IS
making a special study of the posi-
bilities of this new grain, seconded the
secretarys hopeful view of the stu
alton by the remark that at Il STA
tions in the West investigators were
ascertaining the conditions best
adapted to it's growth. Durum is ST.
berian grain, peculiarly fit for SOILS
where but a small amount of moisture
is present.
But the department does not like the
methods that are being pursued by
the growers. Soil robbery" eXclalm-
ed Dr. Galloway, and the secretary as
scented to the designation Syndicates
are farming tracts of 10000 acres IN
wheat, planting the crop again and
again without regard to the necessary
rotation that would insure the soil
against exhaustion.
The secretary pointed out as worthy
O: imitation the European practice,
where on lands that had been farmed
for ages. food grams were Steaulls
and prctitably grown. The secret was
in the rotation.
One last question was asked the sec
rotary: "Wll American wheat go be-
low 81 again."
"Probahly no." he replied but there
is 10 telling what might follow such
disturbance in the industrial and
financial world as we had in 1907, and
should we again meet such crisis it
is possible that there would he again

TWO ROBBERS ARE RUN DOWN
Posse Battles With Three Men Who
Looted Number of Stores In
Splckard, Ne.

Thenton, Mo-, March 30.-Every
road within radius of fifteen miles of
this city is being watched Monday
night in an effort to capture the last
of the three robbers who early In the
day looted a number of stores in
Spickard, twelve miles north Of here,
and later seriously wounded Marshal
George Caraway in a flight at James
port. Two of the men have been cap
tured and are now in the Gallatin Jail.
One Is wounded and may not recover.
The fight at Jamesport occurred
when the robbers got OF a freight
train there, after leaving Spickard on
a hand car. A posse was organized
after Caraway had been shot and after
a short chase engaged In a battle with
the bandits. Two were caught. The
third was surrounded and his capture
seemed certain but he eIuded the
posse.
Most Of the loot secured by the rob-
bers has been recovered.
