\ Great Range of Volcanoes In the
Heart of Africa

Sreat mango OF Volcanoes In the
Heart of Africa.
1t is not very generally known that
right in the heart of Africa at the
southern end of Lake Albert Edward
is Il great range of volcanoes. They
are eight in number, and. though it is
true that. unlike Rukenzor. they carry
no permanent snow, the highest peak
is over 14.OOO feet in height. These
volcanoes are particularly Interesting
on account of their comparative new
ness. Running through the middle of
Africa there is Il trench many hundred
miles long, in which lie the great l,i,sps

Not very many thousands of years
ago the volcanoes. generally called
Mfumbiro. burst up through the mid

until. not being able to flow over the
barrier of the volcanoes, they formed

miles distant. OF the eight volcanoes

Gov. Brady has redeemed every
pledge made by his party platform In
the 1908 campaign; If there is wrong
In any of those pledges. 1t is the
fault of the PARTY and should not be
charged to the governor. No man
who believes in living up to public
promises can find just cause for re-
fusing to vote for Gov. Brady on such
grounds. Redemption of a pledge is
the stamp of manhood and honesty.
Isn't that the kind of a man you
want for GO eiLor? If you do not
like the platform, you must at least
admire and respect the man, who
after being elected By the people, on
certain promises made. lays every on
of those pledges at their feet redeem

As an active, public spirited. pro
gressive executive, no governor in
the northwest has ever surpassed
James II. Brady. He has been the ad
vocate and promoter of more public
improvements in a material, educ a.
tional and moral way than any man
who has ever occupied the executive
chair in the state OF Idaho, and that
can be said without reflection upon
any of his predecessors. He is the
friend of the good roads movement:
he Is an ardent advocate of the con
servation of our natural resources
within our state and by our state: he
has done more TO promote irrigation
both in a private and public way.
than any man probably within our
state boundaries; he has an unsur-
passed record on educational matters
among the state institutions, and has
contributed both of his time and pri-
vate means in the advancement of
private educational Institutions; he
has been one of the chief movers
in and contributors to the childron's
acme finding movement in this state;
through his efforts Idaho was brought
more prominently to the front at the
Seattle exposition than was any other
state in the northwest. and that with
some fifty per cent less appropriation
for that purpose than any other state,
wnich activity was acknowledged on
the part of the exposition authorities
through President Chilberg who com
plimented both the governor and the
state OF I1aho en- the valuable assist
ance rendered in making the expoai-
ton a success. These are few of
the many things which Gov Brady
las voluntarily taken up for the ad
aacement and betterment of Idabo's
general interests. That he has made
good there is no doubt.

in Spokane last Saturday to take up

Herman B. Walker, of the Newark

continent to lend a helping hand to
Poindexter, and will soon be in the
thickest of the battle. He is an old
friend of the Washington insurgent,
and will leave nothing undone to

The progressives seem to be in a
fighting mood, right now. and so far
as the battle has been waged, have
many scalp locks to their credit.

both gone up against the buzzsaw

are strong indications that they both

THINKS INSURGENCY is
SPREADING.

Herman b. Walker, correspondent
OF the Newark. N. J. News, who is
now in Idaho, says the east, as well
as the middle and extreme west, is
taking fire with insurgency, and that
the spirit of revolt will yet become
national. In speaking of these. cen
ditlons Mr.. Walker said:
During the past few months |
have been in practically every east
ern state, many of those In the mid
die west and several western states"
and everywhere and upon every
hand l have found an active growing
insurgent sentiment. In some states,
notably In Massachusetts, this disrup-
tion In the Republican ranks Is likely
20 result in Democratic victory. 1t is
also apparent in those sections where
the Republican regulars won in the
primaries. the election will be carried
by the Democrats.
1.-THE same situation exists In New
Jersey taat you find in Massachusetts
The insurgents will probably not de-
feat Senator John Keane for re-nom,
nation In the primaries. but the Dem
Ocrats have an even chance of win.
ming in tae regular election.
1.-THE insurgents have carried all be
fore them in Maine. Senator Hale
of that state announced his withdraw
al from political life after being de
feated for Endorsement by a caucus
OF his fellow townsmen This Is moi
generally known In the west, but the
evening before Senator Hale astonish
ed the country with his announce
ment that he would not seek re-elec
tion to the senate, the Republicans II
mis- own town met to choose delegates
to the state convention and the vote
was unfavorable to the senator
When his own town voted against
him. Senator Hale was wise enough

SHOULD HAVE HAD MORE.

State Treasurer G. A. Hastings in
a statement which has been published
in a number of Idaho papers claims
that up to January next year he will
have earned interest for the state
upwards of $4,000 since taking hold
of the office four years ago. Those
who oppose third term for the Lewis
ton man contend that ii Hastings had
obeyed the law he would have added
many thousand dollars to this amount
of interest and earned for the people
of the state of Idaho sums of money
which, as shown by the report of
State Bank Commissioner w. S.
Cnaney, now president of the Bank OF
Commerce of Lewiston. went into the
Golfers of favored Boise banks These
banks they point out did not pay one
cent of interest to the state and fail
ed to provide proper security as re-
quired by law, although the accounts
held by them aggregated more than
one-quarter OF million dollars.
Treasurer Hastings gievs out fig
ures showing interest from state
funds as follows: 1907, $1S,266. "a;
1908, $22, SSS.13; 1909. s3S,109.19; to
July l., 1910, $9,4342.26.

A number of papers which are op
posing Gov. Brady's denomination
have been iauding the attitude assam
led by Secretary of State Lansdon
toward Mr.. Brady's candidacy, be-
cause his denunciation of the
present administration has been
rabid and extreme. Lansdon him
self is member of the ad-
ministration, and yet he Is going
about over the state denouncing the
administration. He mai:es no specif-

ing, political bushwhacking and char

could be expected of a character like
Lansdon; a man who as member
OF the state lanu DOdru went d3 idt

without laying himself criminally IL

During the month of April the in
quiry into the affairs of the office
was instituted and within the space
of a few days the amounts in the
free accounts were reduced from
1888, 10000 to but few thousand dol
lars. Treasurer Hastings, as de-
Tense, commended that this practice
IVES necessary to conduct the states
business and persisted In maintaining
small accounts until after the 1908
election. Since that time, however,
as a result of the vigorous warfare
waged against his system, the ac
counts have been abolished altogether
and all state funds on deposit are
accounts in part for the showing of
increase in earnings for the years
1908 and 1910 over 1907 and 1908, tax
ing the treasurer's own figures.
In the recent report of Treasurer
Hastings referred to it is shown that

Bank of Commerce. Loise, an institu-
ton which has been out of business
for a year, having been merged with
the Idaho Trust and Savings Bank,
accepting the name OF the latter.
Mr.. Hastings plea for support
from the north for a third term, as
against Mr.. o. v. Allen, Is that he
Is a northern man and intimating
that IL there Is any section to be fav-
ored in the distribution of funds
among the banks, 1t will be the north
The history of the past shows to the
contrary-while Mr.. Hastings has
distributed funds among the banks of
the north, he has been more liberal
with the banks of the southern sec
ton. Mr. Allen, his opponent In the
contest, while a southern man, Is
known to be thoroughly honorable
and upright. and truthful beyond
question. and he pledges himself
openly to prorate the funds among
the banks according to stability. and
not as to location. Mr.. Allen, II his
neighbors tell the truth of him, 10 a
gentleman who would not stoop to
seek revenge for political rebuffs by
means of raising the taxes OF the
counties which nigh. fall to support
him as heartily as he desired. as 1t
Is openly charged the present inoum-
bent has done both In Idaho and La
tab counties. Whether In spirit OF
revenge or not. 1t is fact that Mr..
Hastings has been instrumental In
raising the taxes of Idaho county
and was only prevented from doing
so again this year by the positive
stand taken by Gov. Brady and Other
members of the board of equalization
