HOME TIES,

There have been. few plays since "Way Down East.'' '@The Old Home stead,'' and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm at least this type of play, that has furnished local playgoers with the amusements they have derived from Byron ChandIer's newest play of pas theatre this evening, and it is hoped that all local theatregoers who en- joy a clean and wholesome drama, and to sec Home Ties,'' will take advan- tage of this opportunity tonight. It is one of the most genuinely pleasing plays presented here in a long while and it's vital and forcefully told story, grips you and sustains your interest from rise to final fall of curtain.

JUST A SUGGESTION

Some five or six years ago Mr..
Howard Sebree generously gave to the
City of Caldwell 20 acres of land to
be converted into and used for a City
Park. At the time there was opposi-
ton to accepting the land by some
who felt that the city could not afford
the luxury of a public park. How
ever, the council accepted the gift, on
behalf of the city, but afterwards
offered to return the land to the don
or. AS the council had no authority
OF law to thus dispose of municipal
real estate, the tract of land remained
the property of the city. In the shut
fie the deed given by Mr.. Sebree, or
more properly speaking the Caldwell
Land Company, mysteriously disap-
peared and has not been heard of even
TO this day. The deed was not re-
corded, and the ownership is in ques-
tion, although the city has undisput-
ed possession of the land. The people
are somewhat divided in opinion as

THE THIRD DEGREE

The opposition of the Washington
Sunreme Court to third degree
methods merits unqualified common
dation. To secure the conviction OF
one E. T. Montgomery, accused OF
felony, the Spokane public prosecutor
resorted to threats against female
witness. 1t appears also that lie
caused her to be imprisoned and
brought influence to bear upon the
frightened creature which looks
amazingly like subornation OF per-
Jury. The Supreme Court holds that
Montgomery's trial was unfair and
grants him another. This is exactly
right.
Convictions ara desirable, but,
when torture and duress must be en-
Moved to obtain them, they cost too
much. The courts can render no
greater service to the country than
to reverse every conviction which Is
tainted in the slightest degree with
the suspicion of third degree meth
DDS. They are utterly abhorrent, but
we might possibly tolerate them II
thew were useful The fact is, hoWev-
er, that they are more apt to elicit
falsehood than truth and they convict
the innocent while they permit the
guilty to escape.
1t is highly encouraging to see the
courts of appeal stamp the abomln-
able third degree with their disap-
prevail. This will do more than any
thing else to teach the police that
they must depend upon their mtelll-
gence to procure evidence against
criminals and abandon the practice
OF extorting confessions by torture,

civilization had outgrOwn this evil,
but men of certain grade OF char
acter never outgrow anything that IS
wicked and cruel.--Oregonian.

The duke OF Norfolk was once trav-
cling from London to Rome. At each
station he would get out and stretch
his legs, and on several of these occa-
sions passengers happened to stop him
and ask questions which the duke
courteously answered.
When Rome was reached a tired old
lady who had noticed this, but who
didn't know his grace of Norfolk
from Keir Hardie or Jack Burns,
caught him by his ducal sleeve and
said:
Nov, my good man, I've noticed
you at all the stations loafing about.
just make yourself useful for once in
your life. Pick up these bags and
rugs and get me cab"
The duke mildly shouldered the
bags and rugs, and, after the old lady
had got safely in her cab with them
she gave him sixpence. He pocketed
it and said:
THANK you, madam. shall never
part with this coin. 1t is tho first
money ever earned in my life.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

WHAT MANNER OF BEING is
THY GOD?

There is word picture in one of
the books of the lesser prophets
which represents 70 OF tho elders of
Israel offering incense to as many
gods as there were elders, for each
elder, while not bowling before a sep
arate image of wood or stone, for
images were not tolerated in Israel,
had different image of god in his
mind-and according to the writer
there was only one true god. We be-
lieve that what was true in the times
when the prophet wrote is as true
now. For, should we go upon the
streets and enquire of each of those
whom We should chance to meet,
What Manner of Being Is Thy God?
each would probably give a different
answer. For the artist would de-
scribe in Him in terms of beauty;
the woman in terms of love and self
abnegation, the wise would describe
his wisdom, the strong his strength.
For, now, each of us has a god of our
own and He appears to us to be a
being in whom are all the better quail
tiles of man perfected. Being finite
creatures, within the narrow compass
of whose minds two great thoughts
or emotions cannot dwell at once,
our dominant traits of virtue or char
acteristics of goodness is God mani
fest.
God, touching everyone of us as he
does at our greatest conception of
goodness and greatness, is large
enough for us all. With his varied
attributes, he finds for each of Us
something in Him large enough, deep
enough and broad enough to fill our
most extravagant desires of superhu-
man perfection. Being the sum of
everything great and good every one
sees in Him His highest conception of
Beauty, Truth and Love. At the
same time every description of Him
has something that arouses our dis
sent and disapprobation.
We cannot describe a being whom
we have never seen, whom we can
but indistinctly grasp, and therefore,
all description fall short of the real
Ity TO some, so perfect does He be-
come that He gets so far away that
they must drag in between Him
and us some other being or beings
and We are made to approach Him
through reflected images. But as we
go up the scale of greatness haugh-
tiness vanishes and simplicity ap-
proaches. For the truly great are
simple, humble folk, and, therefore,
the greatest being must be the SIM
plest, humblest being of them all.
But, perhaps, to the proud and
naughty, He is pride and haughtiness
personified. According to the limi-
tations of the individual to each he
presents a different aspect. But to
none of US can He be more than our
highest conception of any being. The

to the advisability of making park.
Effort thus far to do anything in the
line of improvement have met with
little encouragement and no enthus-
iasm. The tract OF land is now
worth six OF seven thousand dollars;
and it is said that there are people
ready to snap up this piece of land
at the first opportunity. 1t is clearly
the duty of the present city admins
tration to bring action to quiet title
to the land. The city should at once
establish it's ownership and then it
AN use the land as seems best.
The Tribune understands that Mr..
Andrew Carnegie greatly desires to
1erpetuate his name and fame IN
Caldwell by building here $15,OOO.OO
library building. We believe it is the
jenco of the people that the library
% accepted under the terms offered
~ Mr.. Carnegie. In case this is done
he people of Caldwell will be called
lpon to donate tho site. A suitable
lite will cost, it is estimated, $4,000.
IN the interests of economy, The Trib-
me suggests that the city furnish
he site on the shores of Lake How
lrd. In this way the people of Cald
veil will save themselves five thous-
md dollars; they will improve and
oeautify their park with magnif-
cent building at no cost to the city;
they will show a decent appreciation
ii the generosity of Mr.. Howard
Sebree. The Tribune invites the peo-
dc of Caldwell to consider this sug-
gestion.

A WORD OF WELCOME.

During the next week the members
of the Idaho Wool Growers associa-
ton will be the guests of the city OF
Caldwell. Several hundred wool
growers will visit Caldwell during the
convention. To them and to each OF
them The Tribune extends a hearty
and sincere welcome. The people OF
Caldwell appreciate the honor done
this city in selecting it as the place
of meeting. They are mindful of the
obligation they are under to properly
care for their guests. Caldwell is not
as large as some cities, except in ex-
pectancy, and our apology for accom-
modations is made by the thorough
ness and sincerity of our welcome.
What we will lack in conveniences we
will more than make up in good in
tentiOns and true hospitality. We
trust that every visitor to Caldwell
will realize that he is personally and
individually our guest of honor; that
the people of this community want
him to feel and be at home. We trust
that each individual citizen of this
city will feel personal responsibility
for tho welfore of the visitors within
our gates.

Their business demands courage, pa
thence, industry and intelligence.
Those qualities and characteristics
are necessary for their success. The
men who will meet in this city have
met with large measure of success
in life. They are the class that knows

They were the first substantial pion

of the land; they applied their intelli-

wealth for themselves, their neighbors
and their country. To them the peo-
pie of Idaho owe a great debt of
gratitude.
Back through the ages when yet
the earth was new the shepherds call
ing was an honored one among all
people. The flock-master's was the
first step in civilization and to this
day he has maintained his lead. The
tenderness and care of the shepherd
have been the inspiration of story,
song and fable. The highest at
tributes of earth were given to the
shepherd; and in fervid religion and
inspired poetry, the imagination
could father no worthier name for
Gods Messiah than the Shepherd of
his 1ocks, the Pastor of his people.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

In the face of all the plaudits OF the
populace, the general assertion that
direct primaries have transferred back
to the people the powers taken from
them by the bosses, DR.. Charles W.
Eliot, formerly president of Harvard,
has come out fatty with the statement
that the new system is expensive and
absolutely futile.
DR.. Eliot points out that the direct
primaries virtually call for two cleo
lions to carry the candidates into office.
This simply doubles the trouble of
the voter. 1t is hard enough to in
duco the average citizen to go to the
voting booth once, without increasing
the burden. incidentally, the cost is
double.
The real object of the primary cleo
tions was to take the nominating pow
er from the hands of the bosses. The
city boss had become a remarkable
American institution. Usually he
worked up from the bottom, where he
did handy work in his division or
district, until he became district
leader. Then he gathered unto him
self a few more district leaders, who
supported him, and after that they
called him boss.
There developed a gradual resent
ment on the part of the people
against the dictatorship of the men
not elected by them to any office-a
man who was nothing more than a
self-constituted ruler.
And at last came the direct pri-
maries. All the big cities put the
plan into effect. Even Philadelphia,
of Corrupt and contented' fame,
tried it. 1t was the new thought
movement in politics, and as reform
was rampant in the Quaker City at
the time they thought they would
give it trial. And they did. And
it worked beautifully-for the bosses
The old convention system was
done away with. Under the new sys.
tenn all the bosses had to do was tC
send word to the division leaders tc
line up the voters for SO and so. The
"heelers" rang doorDells, got out the
regulars" and the primary election
was carried with a whoop. The "in,
dependent" vote never too ready tC
run to the polls, row remained ever
more obstinat, ~ in his home, be
cause the work o. voting was doubled
So the bosses had things their owl
way.

new reform-"Too expensive and in
effective" 1t looks as though the di
rect primaries will have to go, anC
