EVERYBODY SHOULD HELP

The Tribune freely cOnteSses THAI
it does not like to see Idaho become too
strongly Republican. An active, in
telligent minority party is a necessity
of good government under our sys-
tens. For that reason VIC want the
Democratic party to maintain its or
ganization; to keep up the fight. In
its last issue the Boise Citizen stated
that it would have to suspend publ
cation unless something was done
right quick. The Citizen is a good pa
per and should be supported by the
people. We're convinced that Republi-
cans. could read the Citizen with little
harm to themselves. 1t has many of
the peculiarities and idiocracies of a
Democrat. 1t is ever wanting to tear
down instead of building up, but eV-
cry Republican in Idaho would be do,
ing the same thing if the Democratic
party had been in power for ten or
twelve years. There are only three or
-four Democratic newspapers in the
STATE. They should be supported by
Republicans as we'll as Democrats
The Tribune hopes that something will
be done to keep the Citizen alive. II
is we'll worth the one dollar a year il
costs.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY AGAIN

During the EAST campaign and dur
ing the session of the legislature, the
Leller-Herald was about the only pa
per in Idaho that cared to point out
thIt the direct primary would not az
conpli. u the results that were claimed
10. it. The people, however, seemed
o think they wanted it and the
Leader-Herald believed then, as it be-
ieyes now. that the people should
ave what they want. But that 1t VII
Jroyp disappointing this paper has no
cult. In its last issue the Caldwell
'r,Dune gives some ideas regarding
he primary that would indicate that
he Tribune has been giving the ques-
iln some intelligent study. 1t point

lous. Anyone who thinks the people OF
Caldwell have any intention of dong
! such a thing is not acquainted with the
people of this city. The sewerage system
is a necessity to the health and well
being of Caldwell. That fact is gener-
ally recognized and acknowledged.
The water works extension is absolute
w necessary to tho sewerage system.
The latter is useless without the for
mer.
We're there no $50, 100000 already in
vested in the sewer system, the extern
sion of the water works system of the
city would still be a necessity. The
health of the community alone would
Justify the expenditure. A sence OF
fairness to the people in the second
and third water districts demands that
they receive some of the benefits of
modern conveniences made possible by
tn municipal government, They are
payinU interest on the bonds issued to
put in the present system and yet re-
ceive no direct benefits 1t is time that
tn benefits be extended to all parts |
of the town. If Caldwell is to grow |
t. be the city we all expect it to be,
it must keep abreast of the times. In
this day and age people demand the
modern conveniences. They will not
locate nor invest their money in
,ity that fails to keep up. Cald-
well must go ahead with these inn
provements or give up the struggle
for supremacy If we are to continue
irving to build a city here, we must
ID. stop for single minute. We be-
ieve the people appr ecate these facts
md we apprehend no trouble from the
taxpayers.

THE POLITICIANS ARE BUSY

We see that Governor Brady has re-
turned from Washington; that Pau
Clagstone has been down to Boise
and has gone home; and that B. f,
O'Neil is now due at Boise. From
these circumstances it seems that the
political pot is commencing to boil a
little. Down here in Caldwell we
don't pay any attention to politics.
We don't know anything about the
game and are interested only as cas-
ual spectators. 1t would take more
than political compaign to arouse
Caldwell to interest; and consequently
we can hand out cool, yes cold, politi-
cal dope that is straight. In this con-
nectiOn we arise to remark, anent the
direct primary system, isn't it conven-
lent to say the least, that the pros
pective candidates are not laboring
men, or farmers? Here is Paul Clag-
stone for instance. He has been gal
avanting around the state for six or
eight months now. He was up in Bon
ner county; then next heard of in
Kootenai, thence he springs up at
Twin Falls, drifts through Bannock
and Bingham counties, darts into Ada
and finally wends northward. We are
assured that he intends devoting the
year travelling over the state. Now if
he were a laborer, a farmer or even
q poor man, he could not do that. He
is a man who is quite wealthy in his
own name and knowing that the direct
primary law was enacted for the rich,
intends taking advantage of it. In
this respect Paul Clagstone has the
rudiments of sence. A poor man has
no business in politics. Here is B.
F. O'Neil. Mr.. O'Neil came down
from Wallace to see the Idaho Wool
Growers meet; he went to Twin
Falls to see the Elks meet; he pro-
ceeded through POcatello to Ogden and
Salt Lake on general principles. He
returned home and is now overdue at
Boise again. A poor man could not
afford to travel so far. The direct
primary was not intended for the
poor. There is the Governor, him
self. He is in no danger of immediate
poverty and can stay in the game to
. fare-you-well. He can travel as far
3. As any Of them. He goes some himself.
He does not care for the expense. He
can afford it and he can afford to stay
in the game. Wouldn't poor man re
main in politics long time before he
would become Governor of Idaho via.
the direct primary route? Paul
Clagstone says give the direct pri-
mary fair trial. You bet he does.

az believe that no man not hereto
fore holding public office and thereby
largely known to the public has any
chance of election without an ex
tended personal canvas of tho state
extending as far as possible into each
hamlet and village. | have been max
ing such canvass since the hrst OF
October. nearly three months"
At some length Mr.. Blount then de-
scribes the physical discomfort and
actual illness which resulted from the
exertions OF hia canvass. Not only,
he concludes, was it apparent that his
continuing in this campaign might i'm
pair his health permanently, but it
was equally evident that it might
leave him unfit to perform the duties
Of the office which he sought.
The second reason for his withdraw
al which Mr.. Blount gave seems to
us even more valuable and pertinent
to the present discussion:
"Therc is another reason, less tan
gible, but to me no less real; my re-
pugnance to the personal solicitation
of votes, either by a direct request of
the voter or by an exhibition of my
self to him for the sole purpose of a
tacic solicitation. ] foresaw hest
fancy on my part to do this, but l
thought that a short practice would
make it a thing first endured and then
embraced, but l find the disinclina-
ton growing greater day by day. Of
course l would have strength enough
to endure this during campaign ev-
en- though it were much more oner-
Dus, but l do not feel the prize is
worth the constant standardization
and the total subversion of my habits
Of life and thought. Besides even if
am elected, the same course, though
to a lesser extent, would have to be
by me to secure a re-elec-
ton. While there are other men of
mould and different modes
of thoughts to whom politics might be
a pleasure, to me it would be an un-
ending pain,
OF Mr.. Blount's qualifications for
the office he sought we know nothing.
His reasons for Withdrawing howev-
er, strike US as peculiarly unlikely to
appeal to a La Toilette, a Stubs, or
any other equally characteristic pro-
duct of the direct primary. Neverthe-
less we venture to suggest that there
still remains a considerable element
in the community for which they
have some Importance. If self-adver-
tisement be the first essential for
successful craftsmanship, Mr..
Blount'a withdrawal was a thing
wholly desirable. If weight at Wash
ington rather than noise in Florida
is desirable, however, the incident
seems less fortunate.-New York Sun

LET NORTH IDAHO WAKE UP

LET NORTH IDAHO WAKE UP.
In looking over the advertisements
in the Sunset Magazine, printed at
Los Angeles, recently we noticed that
twelve (12) different sections of south
Idaho were advertised therein while
not a line could be found regarding
north Idaho. In nearly every in
stance the home seeker was directed
to write t. a secretary OF CONNER
cial club for information. Now comes
the word that the League of Southern
Idaho Commercial clubs will shortly
publish a handsome booklet advertis-
ing the general resources of that part
of the state and that these booklets
will be scattered broadcast through
the eastern states next spring. And
in the meantime North Idaho contin-
ues to slumber. Commercial clubs are
formed at various times in the differ
ent towns but soon die a death of
stagnation and indifference.
What is the reason? Is south Ida
no so much better than north Idaho?
Has it a finer climate? Has it more
varied resources? Has it a richer
soil? Has it greater opportunities
Is it more inviting to home-seeker or
investor? No! thousand times No!
1t has none of these things to COM
pare with north Idaho-but it HAS
more energetic class of citizens who
are making use of their opportunities.
Every town in the south has its &C
tive commercial club and these clubs
have formed a league over the entire
south half of the state. An irrigation
project is hardly conceived there un-
til it is heralded to the entire world
in word pictures of the most glowing
| character.
And the result is that south Idaho
has drawn hundreds of thousands OF
eastern home-seekers to it's territory
and millions of dollars into its avenues
of trade within the past few years
while north Idaho has lain supinely
by and done nothing to hold its own
Had north Idaho adopted similar tao
tics it could have doubled it's popula-
ton and trebled its resources and made
even greater progress in advancement
than its sister territory to the south
1t is not the fault of the newspapers
OF north Idaho that this condition OF
affairs has been allowed to exist
Warning has been sounded times with
out number. The resources of every
section of the country have been ex-
plotted to the fullest capacity and ia
the newspapers of north Idaho is due
the credit that this portion of our
state is not. entirely in obscurity. But
the newspapers cannot do all alone
They must have the support and CO.
operation of all the residents of this
territory. A huge advertising cam
paign should be planned and carried
out to the minutest detail. Even then
We will have a hard fight to regain
the ground we have lost.
Let the commercial bodies of north
Idaho wake up and take on new life,
form an active league and get to worl:
in earnest or we will soon be so far
behind the procession as to be out of
the running entirely.-Cottonwood
| Chronicle.
