In view of the fact that Williams

question may result in the State

the area Of Idaho is tied up in forest
reserves, embracing some OF the
most fertile agricultural and fruit
lands In the world. Yet Golfers
would wither the growth OF this
state and deprive thousands OF In
dustrlous people Of the right to take
up and develop this land under the
homestead laws. It prefers trees to
men, in opposition to the wishes of
the people OF the west to conserve
the forests OF the mountain ranges
and untillable lands, while opening
agricultural and horticultural land to
settlement and development. We want
the land suitable for that purpose
reclaimed from Its primitiveness and

commercial and Industrial injury OF
this part OF the country and It's in-
habitants, when government statistics
show that not more than fve per cent

mined and that the supply, under the
most wasteful methods of use, will

end OF which time. II the human race

serves to perish from the earth.

makes Golfers the enemy OF the
west and OF western people who are
anxious to develop their natural re-
sources and make them subject to
the will OF man for his benefit and
enjoyment. These are some OF the
reasons that cause the Press to
criticise the policy OF Golfers.

There was a time a few years ago
when the city could have purchased
the water system at cost OF less
than $4,000. The city council at
that time refused to even consider the
matter and It did not get far enough
to call for vote. The blunder made
then Il apparent now. During the
last city campaign the question Of
municipal ownership OF the water
system and street improvements
were the only Issues, in fact these
two questions were so popular with
the voters that both tickets were
boosted as fayoring them. The city
administration Is carrying out its
pledge TO the people and II Is to be
hoped that the voters win not repeat
the blunder made BY the town coun-
cil a few years ago, by turning down
the opportunity to own a municipal
water system. In few more years
the system Wal be worth $500. 900 or
more. and possibly be beyond the
reach OF the city, while 1t can now
purchase the plant, pay the interest,
pay the bonds, and make all improve
nients and extensions indefinitely out
Of the profits OF the system. II the
plant In ten years becomes worth
half million the city will have made
that much money without taxing the
people one cent, The proposition. no
matter from what point YOU look at
Il. Is a benefit to the people and we
believe they see It In that way. The
only danger OF its being defeated
comes from the fact that II must re-
ceiye a vote OF two-thirds or the tax
payers to carry and 1t will be neces-
sary for every one to register and
vote who wants the city to own the
water plant. The question is one
that cannot come up every year or
two for q vote and TO defeat II now
win be equivalent to settling It for
many years. Register and vote.

CAPITAL NEWS IS BRADY
ORGAN ONCE MORE
Is a Case Of History Repeating
Itself.
(Boise Citizen)

(Boise Citizen)
When James Brady subsidized the
Capital News by the payment Of a
large sum OF money to the editor he
Immediately caused the paper to
make a most venomous attack upon
Hon, w, u. Borah. This was at the
close Of the campaign Of 1904, when
Brady was hoping that senatorial
lightning might strike in his Vicinity
and ne forced the assault upon Bor-
ali for the reason that the latter was
then the most prominent senatorial
candidate In theerace.
Brady saw the effect OF his sub
sldy and followed 1t up by secret
loan to part OF the owners Of the
paper and got his grip upon the sheet
to such an extent that Mr.. Sheridan
was forced into the courts and to
raise large sum of money in order
to get rid OF the influence. These
things are matters of court record.
We refer to them now for the reason
that the Capital News has again be-
come a Brady organ. 1t is pursuing
the same tactics now that 1t did
when It fell under the Brady In
fiuence few years ago; II Is making
a great pretense OF independence and
singing Its own virtues while doing
Jim Brady's dirty work. AS Mr..
Borah stood in Jim Brady's path
then, he was the object of the papers
attacks, and as Barney o'Neil now
contests with Brady, the lickspittle
organ hurls It's invectives at o'Neil.
The people OF Idaho should know
that there Is no depth to the Brady
hypocrisy, nothing to which Brady
will not stoop for his own aggran-
dizement and the debauching OF an
opposition newspaper In order to
wreak his vengeance upon some mem
Der Of his own party who may chal-
lenge his leadership IL a. nothing to
this Kansas adventureF who has Jared
so well in Idaho. II there can be
lower depth for a party leader to
sink than to subsidize daily news
paper to make attacks upon other
members OF his party we have failed
to hear OF II. That the Capital News
is now the Organ OF Brady just as 1t
was when II assaulted Borah every
one knows. The earmarks are so
plain. the collar Is so visible that
even the wayt1ring man OF Holy
Writ could not fail TO realize the
truth.
