most beneficial one to Idaho, as
shown in affirmative legislation,
and more has been accomplished
for the benefit of the state than
during any previous congress. The
Idaho legislation has been vigilant
and active in protecting the inter-
ests of the state. Complete har-
mony and cooperation has prevail
ed between and on the part OF the
delegations, otherwise such good
results could not have been Sc
cured.
One of the most important meas
ures enacted was that providing for
an appropriation of $2O,OOO,OOO
for the completion of reclamation
projects in various states of which
Idaho will secure a large portion,
resulting in the completion and ex-
tension of projects now under way
without delay.
The appropriation of 100000
for the survey of public land in
Idaho will be of great advantage
to intending settlers and will has
ten the development of the coun-
try. 1t will accomplish in one
year in the way of making surveys
as much or more than would have
been accomplished in three or four
years without this appropriation
The extension of the dry farm
homestead law to southern Idaho il
another measure of great impor
lance and will aid materially il
developing large areas of land ii
the arid section of the state.
Another important law enacted
: was that proving that homestead
ers on reclamation projects coul6
J assign all or a portion of thei
homestead after a five year resi-
dence.
Another measure which becam
, a law was that providing for leav
J of absence for homesteaders on re
clamation projects during tn

Laws were also enacted providin

: sites on reclamation projects; a
appropriation for a public buildin

WORLDS Highest Electric Sign Erect

WORLDS Highest Electric Sign Erect
ed by The Prudential.
The Prudential Insurance Company
of America, with Home Offices at
Newark, has made another big adver-
tising hit by erecting at Hoboken,
directly opposite New York city, a
great electric sign of the Rock of
Gibraltar. The electricians who put
up the sign say that it is tie highest
electric sign in the world. The sign
operates automatically and in addi-
tion to flashing the rock. flashes the
company's trademark, The Pruden-
tial Has the Strength of Gibraltar
The sign is on the top of the new ter
minal building at Hoboken, and the
top of the rock is nearly 200 feet above
ground. Six miles of wire were used
fn connecting the lights. The letters
forming the word Prudential are ten
feet high. 1t takes enough electricity
to light the rock to equal the pulling
power of 100 horses The sign is built
a
to withstand wind pressure of $50
tons, and three thousand electric
lamps are used. The current would
light all the streets of Bayonne.
Below the rock an automatic cleo
trio talking sign changes constantly,
and on it appear forty-eight state
ments regarding The Prudential
The sign was built for The Pruden-
tial from plans drawn by f, r. Koe-
nigsberger, New York architect.
One of the expert sign craftsmen Of
the Electric Carriage Cali and Special
| ty company of New York, which erect
ed the sign, made a close study of the
topography of Gibraltar in order to
give correct delineation Of the rock.
The sign is placed so that it is visible
to persons on the river, and from a
large part of New York City. 1t can
also be seen from the Hoboken exit Of
the Hudson tunnel, Jersey Guy
Brooklyn, Staten Island and New
York bay.
The Prudential's Gibraltar" il
now one Of the most striking objects
in, New York Harbor at night and
people visiting the Metropolis will
look for it.
An official Of the company .said
:" The Prudential could not illuminate
the real rock of Gibraltar, and 1t has
built this electric rock on the shores
Of New Jersey as beacon light tx

MIR. RoosEvELTs RETURN.

Mr.. Roosevelt's career has beer
characterized by so much individual
ity that it has seemed entirely tittinf
for his post Presidential travels to bt
out of the ordinary and his home.co
ing the occasion of an altogether un
| ique demonstration of welcome. With
out giving ourselves up unduly TO what
Lord Morley has called the boisterous
old notion Of hero worship, we may
ungrudgingly coneede that men OF
commanding personality and achieve
mentS are never so numerous that
they can be ignored. Nor are the
honor and the profit of such demon
strations entirely, if even chiefly, OBJ
jective. 1t is a fine thing for a man
to be the object of peoples admira-
ton and applause. But it is no less a
fine thing for the people to render
such tributes, since next to being
great the best thing is to be able to
appreciate greatness.
During the period of his detach-
ment from public affairs at home Mr..
Roosevelt, at a distance, has rendered
services of no mean character, reveal
ing new phases of his many-sided per-
sonality and new illustrationslof his
inexhaustible vigor. He has demon
strated his adaptability to the newest
and StranQest environments and to al
together unwonted tasks. In so do
ing he has given convincing proofs
that he is able to solve satisfactorily
for himself the problem of the en-
ployment of our ex-Presidents. 1t
need not be feared that the man who
was equally at home and efficient in
the Nasal jungles. at the German i'm
perial court and at great British UNI
iversity will lack coneenial and prof.
table occupation in his own country.

FOR u. S. SENATE
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

excellent condition, and he will not
risk its impairment by adding to his
already multitudinous duties the fur
ther cares of public Office. 2
The positive refusal of Mr. Dryden
to permit the use of his name as candi-
date for another term in the United
States senate will disappoint and sur
prise his friends, who are more numer-
Gus now than in 1906, when the regular
republican legislative candidates who
we're pledged to his candidacy won
such pronounced victory over the
New Ideaites, as the "Progressives I"
were then called, at the primaries.
That, with the fact that Mr.. Dryden
was president of the Prudential Insur-
ance company at time when start
ling disclosures concerning the man.
ner in which certain foreign COM
panies had influenced state and ma
tional legislation, was seized by Ever
EFT Colby, then senator, as an excuse
for leading a revolt against Mr.. Dry
denis election.
Mr.. Dryden served as senator from
February 4th, 1902, to March 3rd, 1907
During that period the country passed
through financial crisis in which Il e
advice of Senator Dryden was in con
slant demand by President Roosevelt
and his cabinet. He was one of the
few senators, who, like the last demo-
cratic senator from this state, became
nationally prominent during the first
year of his term and retained the po-
sition until his retirement. Senator
Dryden retains his Washington home,
which is the scene OF as many impor-
tant gatherings now as it was while
he was in the senate.

A CENSUS report published only a
few days ago shows that the average
salary paid to clergymen in this coun-
try is ABOUT $500. Two years ago the
average income of Presbyterian
preachers was only 5000, so that the
pay Of the clergy seems to have i'm
creased at the rate Of $50 per year
since 1908, a weekly raise Of about
fifty-eight cents each year. Almost
any trade offers larger inducements
in the way of earnings, than the min
istry. and besides, the clergyman has
to go through long years Of prepare
tory education. If there were nc
other incentive than money for men
to 90 into the ministry, very few
would take up this profession. There
must be many thousands OF clergymen
devotedly doing good work and living
on much less than $500 year, anC
moved thereto by the highest possible
motives.

SEVERAL times recently, and more
notably at his Orange speech last Sat
urday night. the governor has directly
or indirectly charged that the late leg
islature was influenced by special in
terests, or in other words by the rail-
'Foad and other corporations, This has
brought out caustic letter from
joe Frelinghuysen, president of the
senate, who calls upon the governor
TO substantiate his allegations, and
suggests that a special session of the
legislature be called to prove whether
or not the members are dominated by
the so.called special interests" Sen
ator Frelinghuysen says that he Ii
prepared to vote for any measure that
may prove that the legislature is not
so influenced, and use all the influence
he has to have a new public utility bill
passed that will show that the mem
bers are not controlled by corpora
tions or anything OF that sort.

UNDER the caption Men and AT
fairs, the Sunday Call" says =
Senator Kean is keeping quiet in the
campaign for the succession to his office
but no one doubts that he will have a
big support when the election comes in
the legislature of 1911. He has thous-
ands of supporters throughout the
state, and they command votes, as
well as personal influence. Whatever
Jerseymen may feel, Senator Kean
would be greatly missed in Washing
ton. He has been secretary of the re-
publican caucus, and chairman of the
committee on contingent expenses Of
the senate. Both these places COM
mand great influence, for his advice is
sought on all committee appointments,
he has knowledge of the rules of pre-
cedence, and he has control Of the ex-
peditures of the senate. Every sena-
tor has occasion to consult him at
times, and often it is upon personal
matters which count for more than
political issues. The senator, too, will
help many of the orators to prepare
their arguments, and assist them
while delivering their speeches, al
though he himself seldom talks. He
is also the safest man in the chair,
when the vice president or his alter
nate is absent. AS a social light in
Washington, he also shines. This is
matter Of very large Importance in a
city where half the business of The ma
tion is settled over coffee and cigars.
Senator Kean is unmarried, but his
mother and sisters have long had one
of the most dignified Washington
residences, and their dinners and re-
ceptions have been long noted as
among the most elegant and distin-
guished in Washington social life. IL
was once said of Senator Kean that he
was the only man in social leadership
who did not have to employ a social
secretary

COLONEL BARBOUR NOT A CANDI-
DATE.


Colonel Barbour, in a recent inter
view announced that he is not sena-
torial candidate, taking practically the
same stand as Mr.. Dryden, and for
about the same reasons.
While expressing the highest regard
for the other names suggested, he in
ferred that the best interests of the
state may be served by continuing
Senator Kean in Office.
While appreciation the honor of
the mention of my name for the Office, I"
said Colonel Barbour, am not a
candidate and personally believe that
Senator Kean should succeed himself
say this with full sense of the en-
inent qualifications of others named,
like former Senator Dryden. and for
mer Governors Murphy, Griggs and
Stokes, any one of whom would reflect
credit on the state if chosen to repre-
sent it.
This is critical period, however,
in the history of the country, and the
party, and a rather unpropiUious time
to make change. With men like
Senators Hale and Aldrich about to
retire, the party can hardly afford tt
lose the services of man like Sena
tor Kean. He is always at his post Of
duty, and there is no one who car
truthfully say that his record has moi
been creditable and advantage
one TO the state"

The work Of pathfDding the route
for the Munsey historic tour, which
starts from Philadelphia, August 18th,
and finishes in Washington about two

The proposed route to be followed
by the contestants is from Philadel-
phia to Boston, Portland, Plattsburg,
Harrisburg, Gettysburg, Baltimore
and Washington.
The pathfinders are making a care

vide strict penalization for time, road
work, final outdoor test for brakes,
clutches, ETC., and final technical ex-
