Schoenecke's Platform

The announcement of my candi-
dacy for the republican nomination
as state senator from Elmore county
carries with it, of course, my pledge
to abide by the republican platform
as adopted after the candidates have
been selected. | confidently believe
that the platform will embody only
such measures as will work for the
general good of the people; and | be-
heve that the sentiment of a major
ity of the people of Elmore County,
without respect to party, is in favor
of the sane views of Governor Bra
dy, as publicly expressed on the liquor
question, on a Carey Act Commission,
on Reduced Taxation. and on 9th
vital matters.
Aside from these issues. ] shall
favor state aid in the construction of
roads, as an incentive to the develop
ment of the state as whole and of
isolated districts in particular; also
the construction jointly by Elmore
and Owyhee Counties of a bridge
cross the Snake River as an aid to
the great agricultural and stock in
terests of Owyhee County and the |
of Mountain Home and !
Glenns Ferry.
| believe that the 1.-TWO Mile Limit |
Law" Is a permanent statute, and viii
oppose any attempt to repeal it or

whom they did not like, or could not
use from offering himself for public
service, upon the solicitation of his
friends. And now We are regaIed with
the edifying sight of one little paper
crying to drive out of the primaries
fine respected citizen. Apparently
there Is no cause in the world for
such action but the New Time must
nave reason, what is it? Our sense
OF decency and fair play and the pro-
test and displeasure of fair minded
citizens in general which has been
voiced in no uncertain terms forces
us to give this matter editorial no.
t1ce. The New Time has helped tho
man whom 1t tried to "trod out of
the party more than it has injured
him by its petty displeasure. No good
man can be injured by such foolish
venom. When 1t insists that although
there are two democratic candidates
one is the only real candidate and
that the other has not even the right
to run and let the party decide which
shall be Its nominee, we are treated
to sad spectacle Of petty vindictiye-
ness that gives cause to the question
who told you that you must do that !?
Who pulled the string that made you
Jump that way? There Ia reason.
What Is 1t? The New Time says moth
Ing against the candidate himself for
the very good reason that there Is
nothing that can be said. They are
all three good men and we are sup
porting no one of the three but why
in the name of all that Is unfair and
queer the New Time graciously in
iicates that 1t and its owners will
De counted to have either the repub-
lean nominee or the other democrat
preferably the other democrat
elected but will not have 1t any 9TH
er way. We trust--and believe--that
all three of the candidates stand
acuara'y for enforcement Of the laws;
then why is the New Time so petu-
lent at Mr.. Harley, who certainly
stands squarely for impartial enforce
ment of the laws? All who know Mr..
Harley, know that he has first hand
knowledge of the duties and respon-
sibilities of the sheriff's office, hav-
ing been deputy sheriff in Owyhee
county and having borne himself with
great credit during some pretty siren
uous times, and that he Is one of
those quiet men who can always be
found at his post doing his work
whatever 1t may effectively and
well. The average citizen loves fair
play, and believes in decency and ne
is displeased and chagrinned at the
lack of both in the treatment of Mr..
Harley at the hand of the New Time.

'THFRE'S A
REASON
An Analysis of the Opposi-
ton to Governor Brady
In Elmore County

Is there any real opposition
amongst the Republicans of Ell
more County to the denomination
Of Governor Brady? THERE is
NOT.
Who and what then, is back
of the frenzied attempt to thwart
the wishes of the Republican vo-
tiers? THE READERS MAY
DRAW THEIR OWN CON-
CLUSIONS FROM THE FOL-
LOWING ANALYSIS OF THE
OPPOSITION:
Its mouthpiece is the NEW
TIME, "a paper published for the
first time in June of this year,
not because there was any de-
mand or warrant by business or
financial conditions for a third
newspaper in Mountain Home, but
because the other newspapers,
knowing the sentiments of the
people and concurring in them saw
fit to withhold their support
from Barney O'Neil, self-con-
stituted candidate for the guber-
material nomination, in whom
certain element sees a Moses who
may be able to bring about re-
cessiOn OF the waters and lead
that element out OF the bondage
in which it has been placed by the
local option law and the aroused
sentiments against the iniquities
Of the liquor traffic.
So Mr.. Truxton Talbot, jour
nalistic nomad with a personal
grievance against Governor Brady
and in the same spirit that prompts
dog to bite the hand which fed
him, saw an opportunity primarily
it may be supposed, for personal
gain, but carrying with it the
means Of giving vent to his crouch
and permitting a display of egoisn
which constitutes his great stock
in trade. He enlisted first of
all, the financial aid of Barney
O'Neil, Ga fact admitted by Mr..
O'Neil when he was last in Noun
tain Home), and with this as
nucleus, proceeded to complete
his organization under the name
of the Mountain Home Publishing
and Printing Company. The ar
tlcles of incorporation of this
company, on file in the office of
the County Recorder, give the fol
lowing list Of stockholders and
directors.
Truxton Talbot, George L Gran
dial, George P. Hall, Edward f.
Goddard, U. A. Couverette, +. C.
Melrose, d. L. Lewis, Ed. Weaver
and James A. Purtill.
The original directors were ap-
pointed to serve only until June
!, 1910, and since that date, ac-
cording to the best infor-
nation, new stockholders have be
come interested and another di-
rectorate has been chosen.
The New Time had it's birth in
the necessity of Barney O'Neil |
and the hybrid interests back of
him, to have some medium of pub
lie expression in Elmore County,
and as man is known by the cons
pany he keepss it will not be amiss
to point out the strange bedfellows
of Mr.. O'Neil for whom the New
Time provides scanty covering.
Of the original stockholders those
who contributed the largest a.
are:
Truxton Talbot, (money un-
questionably furnished by Barney

High School Graduates ignorant Of
Geography

oSO9iuPAJ
That graduates of the high schools
who enter colleges are extremely ig
norant of the location of important
cities, mountains, rivers ETC., is
shoWn by the results of recent tests
given to freshmen in the University
OF Wisconsin.
Ola class of 1852 who We're exam
ined in the simplest geography, one
fourth failed, one-fourth made poor
showing, on-third did fairly well, and
but one-sixth made a satisfactory
showing. Only two displayed I'M
usual knowledge.
A surprising ignorance of the loca-
ton of prominent cities in the United
States was discovered. The pupils
were asked to name the state in
which the cities of Richmond, Mo-
bile, Memphis, Butte, Syracuse,
Nashville, Spokane, Atlanta, Key
West, and Scranton were located.
Many could name but few while
the number who could name all was
very small.
The greatest ignorance was shown
with respect to location of noun
tains. A considerable number of
students could not locate single one
of the five mountains, Pyranees,
Caucasus, Himalaya, Sierra Nevada,
Mt. Mckinley, while nearly half
missed two or three out of the five.
: Next to mountains the greatest
ignorance was displayed in locating
the rivers Rhine, Volga. Ganges,
Orinoco, Euphrates. Fully two
thirds of the pupils showed an
amount of ignorance that was startl-
ing, as for an example, such as plac-
ing the Rhine river in South
America.
Many students were unable to
place more than four out of the ten
foreign cities: while very few could
locate all although only the country
was asked to be named. The cities
included in the list were: Vienna,
Venice, Lisbon, Bombay, Buenos
Aires, Hong Kong, Athens. Moscow.
Shanghai, Melbourne.
That the high school student
whether he goes to college or enters
business should possess some know
edge of those cities which are impor-
taHt centers of the world S commerce
or those which are frequently written
about or talked about among educat-
ed people, of the principal noun
tains, rivers, seas. CULTS. etc., of the
globe. and the main political di-
visions of the continents is now the
general belief. Since. no text book
in high school physical geography
provides review of these features
the teacher must provide it.
