it was with regret that he felt obliged to sever
his connection with this vessel and the Carne-
gle Institution officers, as they were the best
of shipmates throughout the recent cruise that
he made with them. Mariners without family

WE CAN'T BELIEVE 1T.

Instead of some of the papers
of the state that have been styled
satellites by the Caldwell Tribune
and accused of rejecting borrowed
light from others, they may be re.
fecting borrowed $$$$$$$ extracted
from some of the candidates. .Nez
Perez Herald.
OF course it may be that some OF
the candidates are making invest
ments in newspaper propositions, but
we hardly think so. The rumor Is
persistent, though still unverifed
that candidates are buying newspa-
pers. If they are doing so it is simp-
ly as business investments. Men OF
capital are looking for safe invest
ments. They are satisfied with a low
rate of interest provided the princi-
pal is safe. We do not know of a
safer place to put $6O,OOO.OO than
in a live newspaper. NotWithstand-
ing the rumors referred to above The
Tribune is convinced that newspa-
pers are rejecting only borrowed
light.

CONSIDERABLE WHIsTLING

The particular function of The
Tribune is to encourage everybody
and everything, who or which, as
the case may be, shows his head
above the horizon. We intend going
into the jollying business on a large
and ample scale. 1t has been our
experience that most men will stand
considerable praise and not a little
t1attery. You must use little discre-
ton in spreading it on, but you need
not put too fine a point on that. The
praise assimulative powers of us all
are well developed. Though We
know the fiatterer is lying, we thank
him for good intentions, rather than
despise him for patent hypocracy. AS
we have no ak to grind in any man
ner whatsoever, and as well placed
fattery makes the victim feel good
and does injury to no one, we feel
perfectly justified in the course we
are about to pursue. A diplomatist
would not take the public into his
confidence in matter of this kind,
but we are not diplomatists We be-
lieVe in exposing our hand in matters
OF this kind. 1t eases the conscience
and no one believes you. 1t leaves
open an avenue of escape for all time.
The public will forget in a week that
we have made the announcement and
no effect will be lost, while should
we pick up with horsethief and laud
him to the skies, we can easily say
In Justification, why certainly We
were simply following out a general
policy thinking the public would
take the proper discount" If any
thing you see in these columns is
coming 1t pretty strong, remember
our policy, but If it applies to you,
also remember that there are those
who deserve something pretty good
In the way of newspaper mention.
You can easily convince yourself that
you are one of them.
The people of Caldwell are a pref.
ty good lot any way you look at them.
The business men of this community
will size up well in any comparison.
We would not be afraid to enter our
leading citizens at worlds fair, al
belt we might wish to put a few of
them in the Background. But as
aforesaid, up one side and down the
other, Caldwell business men are
there with the goods. During the
past week the business men have sub
scribed ten thousand dollars to a !
publicity and general utility fund. We
do not believe there is another town |
of this size in the world, yes, worse
than that, in the state of Idaho,
which would or could so easily raise
