CHANGES AT THE COURT HOUSE

quite change has taken place at
the Canyon County court house in the
past few days. County ATTORNEY Van
Duyn has resigned to become Assis-
tant Acknowledgement of the State:
Probate Judge Hagelin has resigned
to become county attorney; and Pro-
patton officer Driscoll has resigned to
become probate judge. The line of
succession was complete. Canyon
county loses good man and a capable
officer by the loss of Mr.. Van Duvn
During the past six years he has well
and truly served Canyon county.
Judge Hagelin has a great record be-
lore him to come up to. In fact he
mas two good records to come up to.
lie Will have to make as good a county
attorney as did Mr.. Van Duyn; and
ne Will have to be as good a county
attorney as he was probate JUDGE
Inc people will expect it. They know
that 1t is in him and will insist mo,
MN bringing it out. For four years
he mas served as probate Judge with
credit to himself and eminent satisfac

will como up to expectations. JUDGE
Drlscoll had an enviable record before
him' He has made a splendid proba-

probate judge. We have great homes

COMMERCIAL CLUB OFFICERS

Caldwell is SO fortunate in having
good men and so many of them, that it
is next to impossible to make a mis-
take anywhere. 1t makes no differe-
ence what you want the Magic City
has it, when it comes to men of class.
Men who know how to do things, and
what is many times more important,
what to do, are not always to be had,
except in Caldwell Now where in
tho broad world could you have found
set of men like the new officials Of
the Caldwell Commercial Club? We
ask it; where could you have found
B. F. Holt, H. D. Andrews, E. r.
Place. ]. d. Kelleher. C. J. Sebring,
Fred Richardson and E. H. Plowhead,
all together, except in Caldwell? Does
anyone answer? Well, we guess not
and we don't often miss on our
guesses. A few years ago you might
have found B. F. Holt at Boulder,
Colorado; H. D. Andrews at Hoose-
vile, Indiana; E. R. Place, at New
York; C. ]. Sebring, at Blissfeld,
Michigan, Fred Richardson at Seattle,
Wash; and E. H. Plowhead at Boise,
Idaho. ]. D. Kelleher got wise young
and came to Caldwell. Not one of
those places above mentioned ever at
tracted all those men. Caldwell did
it. Just let that idea barnacle itself
to your mind. Caldwell gathered
these men to herself, and in the har-
vest gathered several hundred others
that sit in the front pew in any class
anywhere. That is what Caldwell has
been doing for these many years now.
Her net is always cast and mighty
few minnows have shown up yet. We
throw them back with the injunction
to go out and grow a while because
little fishes will have to grow in other
waters. The men of Caldwell are big
men and they are engaged in mems |
work. It's no child's play here. The
city seems to have men for every

punch that tickles us. We are all
prone to sing long live the king as

rider that dazzles and attracts. The

re men of accomplishment. They be-
leve in doing things and in doing

THE MAGIC.

The management of the Magic

lures sit up and take notice. Thew
are ITO Save Her Soul" the romance
of a little choir singer by the Bio
graph company, and ''The Heroine of
Mafeking," and other of the Sen,
South African war pictures.
The first subject wildly portrays
the lure of the Bohemian life. The
little singer is in the organ loft of the
little village church practicing her
music, and her marvellous, though un-
trained voice attracts the attention of
the manager of a prominent music
hall, who offers her an opportunity to
shine. Despite the pleadings of the
young curate, who really loves her,
she goes and is soon introduced into a
new and dazzling circle. Her debut
results in triumph, and the curate.
reading of it in the papers, decided to
go and see her. He finds her after
the performance attending a BANQUET
given in her honor, and would nave
killed her that her soul might remain
pure. She awakens to the horror of
her condition, and consents to return
with him to the little village where all
is honesty and peace.
The Heroine of Mafeking is another
triumph for the Selig company, ac-
cording to the critic of the New York
Dramatic Mirror, in its splendid eff
forts to produce big military films.
The battle scenes, the movement of
troops and the thrilling personal in
cident when the wife of the British |
colonel bravely drives the water wagon
through tho firing line to bring relief
TO the thfrst-crazed men in her hus-
bands command, all are worthy of
the warmest praise. She has followed
her lover from England to South Az
rica and they are married at the ont
'rea' OF hostilities, shell from the
'nemys cannon interrupting the mar
'iage ceremony. The engagement be-
ween the Beers and the British is
ihown with wonderful clearness and
'bsence of confusion, so far as our
of what is going on is
oncerned. There is plenty of reals
&c action in the battles, and the move

prosperity anu W u
nounce as thieves all who have desired
to continue and peruse the same poi
lev that the country has pursued,
heretofore, since the settlement OF the
West began.
His purpose to "nationalize" the
lands and forests and mineral depos-
its and water powers was depart
ure from the historic policy OF the
country. The laws do not authorize
it; but he proposed to read into the
laws a system that would stop the sale
of lands and require all who wished
to use the lands and waters and min
erals and timber to accept the United
States as the landlord, and to pay
such rentals as the commissioners
representing the United States might
require. That is, there should be no
private ownership as heretofore. Yet
men will not improve water powers
and open mines and invest in timber
lands unless they have the ownership.
The sense of private property has been
developed in this country from the be-
ginning and their instinct is against
feudality and rehabilitation.
The national government ought not
to change it's ancient policy. 1t can
not change it, will not be permitted
to change it. 1t should continue to
sell it's lands as heretofore. The jur-
isdiction then will pass to the states,
which will regulate the use Of them,
when affected with a public interest,
and prescribe such regulations as the
circumstances may require. The states
may be depended on to enforce re
strictions and taxes enough. But we
desire development, utilization oil the
water powers and the mineral and
timber lands-which never will come
under landlord system directed by
at Washington. Men will
not put money into development of
lands and mines and water powers
that they don't own. They are un-
willing to hold their rights as feuda-
tories. Nor is it fair to force this. on
the West, when every right of the
kind heretofore in the older states has
been taken and held under the gener-
al feoffment OF creation.
1t is too late to mako this radical
change in the policy. 1t would not be
just to do it. 1t would arrest the
general progress of the West to do it.
The policy under which the country
mas been settled and developed will
lot be changed to meet the notions
II theorizers. There will be a lot of
heap talk in congress, but that body
never will enact the Pinchot notions
nto law; thereby checking the de-
'elopment of the country and enor-
nously extending an already over
'rown ofticialdom. The day is too late
or restoration of tho feudal system.

the truth usually gets out somehow or
other. 1t has done so in this case
much to the chagrin and discredit of
Mr.. LaFollette. In a case at law on
account of matters growing out of the
campaign of 1898, Isaac Stephenson
testified. The suit was brought Wy
eX-Assemblyman Herman L. Ekern
against Assemblyman Albert T..
Tuesne. In his disposition Senator
Stephenson testified that the reason
LaFollette and friends turned against
him was that he refused to sweeten
La FollettG's presidential compaign
fund in the sum of $25O,OOOOO. La
Folletto's friends importuned Stephen
son for the amount stated; they ar
gued with him and followed him from
Marnette, Wisconsin, TO Washington,
,. C. They then asked for $25, 100000
inllly gladly accepted two checks for
100000 each. When Stephenson re-
used to be victimized La Toilette
wore vengeance and tried to defeat
stephenson in the legislature after he
mad honestly bought the nomination
ior S106,000.0O. Stephenson won out
md is the Senator from Wisconsin to
his day and will so remain until
1915. Isn't that a pretty mess of pol
tics? A Senator of the United States,
Official reformer, paragon of civic
virtue, candidate for Presidency of the |
United States, following a rich but
orrupt politician from city to city,
corruption fund, accepting
wo thousand dollars and then making
hue and cry against the giver be-
ause it was not enough. If the Pay
tie Independent still likes scalawags,

CARNEGIE LIBRARY LOCATION

Two weeks ago The Tribune sug-
gested that the proposed Carnegie Ii
brary be located on the shores of
Lake Howard. For a moment the idea
was hooted, but since then the people
have been thinking, and there is now
some little sentiment in favor of the
proposal. The Tribune each day
thinks better of the idea. The city has
this tract of land and is making no
use of t. 1t will be some day con-
verified into a park. A fine building
viii not in the least detract from the
park. In the meantime unless the
suggestion of The Tribune is carried
out the people of Caldwell will be
asked to contribute seven or eight
thousand dollars for the purpose of
purchasing a site for the Carnegie
library. The only objection urged
against the idea is that the land is
too far out. 1t is no farther out than
the court house or Lincoln school house
were when they were built. 1t is only |
seven or eight blocks from Main street |
and the town is growing in that direc-
ton very rapidly. 1t will not be
many years until Lake Howard will
be in the center of the residence dis
trict of the city. There is none so
hopeless, as to think that Caldewll
will not in five years have a popula-
ton of 10000. Business houses will
be built on either side of Kimball
avenue to Cleveland boulevard and
east on Cleveland. When this is done
Lake Howard will be close in. There
is no necessity or desire, for library
on a business street. 1t should be a
block or two off at least. The person
who would not go two or three blocks
to get book or to read an nour or
two, would usually read class of lit
erature that he could do just as we'll
without. Outside of distance, as
small matter at most, Lake Howard
is the ideal place for the Carnegie
library.

That electric road from Caldwell
down our way would suit us all right.

EFFORTS to get rural mail route es-

try, try again until we get it.
We understand there are two rival
petitions to the county commissioners

the society are: President, Mrs.
Caldwell; treasurer, Mrs. William
Jones; secretary, Miss Dorothy Will

Land in this valley sold at the
state land sale, recently held at Cald-
well, Tor $500 an acre, which shows
what people think of our fine soil
and ideal location. There is still
quite large body of state land IN
sold in this valley and we hope it will
soon be sold, as we would like to have

ONLY A QUARTER MILLION SWAG

You know Wisconsin. Wisconsin /!
Why, Wisconsin furnished the pattern
for the Idaho direct primary law.
Wisconsin is the home of that de-
lectable pair, Isaac Stephenson first
great beneficiary and Robert y. La
Toilette, gingo reformer and patron
saint of the direct primary. Well
Wisconsin is again bringing forth a
political scandal of no mean dimen-
sions. This time it is only blackmail
to the extent of a quarter of million
dollars. The game was concocted by
Senator LaFollette and Senat
Stephenson was the victim. It's sad,
but it's true. OF course the direct
primary is not to blame for this latest
exposure, but it all happened in re-
generated Wisconsin, that model of
civic virtue and political chastity, the
home of the direct primary. But it
was only two hundred and fifty thous-
and, small sum in direct primary
states, that La Toilette and his friends
attempted to extort from Stephenson.
Last winter when Isaac Stephenson
came before the legislature of Wiscon-
sin for election to the Senate of the
United States, La Toilette sn0 his
friends attempted to defeat him, al
leging and proving that Stephenson
purchased his nomination at the pri-
parry election for $lO6, 100000 The ex-
pendture of this amount of money
was prima facie evidence of corrun.
ton. La Toilette and friends of
course would have nought to do with
corrupt politician. The exposure
caused La Toilette great pain because
for years he and Stephenson had been
great pals. Everywhere throughout
The country, La Toilette was vocifer-
'usly applauded. He had again prov
IN himself the champion of the people
ana a pure and upright man. But

last week when it stated that Judge
F A. Hagelin would succeed Mr.. o.

Mr.. Tim Driscoll would be appointed
probate judge for these very things
have come to pass.
County Attorney Van Duyn's resig-

Hagelin's resignation as probate judge
