Back to the City.

The cry OF back to the hand Is
good, but 1t has Its dangers. 1t GER
tainly works mischief when city bred
people without any experience Of

necessary to have any previous know
ledge of farming to at once win sue
cess as farmers. 1t is a strange de-
lusion that people who see the rea-
sonableness and even necessary Of
beginning at the yoot OF things In
order to gain success in trade or the
professions imagine that any green
horn can make an immediate success
of one of the most scientific of in
dustries.
Not unlikely poets and painters
are largely to blame. One class has
sung In glowing verse, and the other
has depicted In mo less glowing col
ors the beauty, contentment and ar
cadian happiness and simplicity OF ru-
raj life. Vatican shepherds, as in
nocent looking as the sheep they
tend, and dairy-maids in classic cos
tune lightly tripping over the pas
ture to milk meek-eyed cows may be
all very well In sonnets and paint
ings but are not often seen In real
life.

MUNICIPAL UNIT
LEAGUE MEETING
The League is unalterably oppos-
ed to Prohibition and will
Fight to the End"

J. w. Holmes Of northern Idaho
was in Mountain Home this week and
called a meeting Tuesday evening for
the purpose OF organizing Municipal
League. but no League was formed
at this meeting.
Mr.. Holmes Is one of the most en-
thusiastic members of the Municipal
Unit League, is engaged In organiz-
ing branches of the League in cities
and towns Of Southern Idaho. The
object OF this League is to secure an
amendment to rhe local option law by
which choice on the liquor question
will be left to the cities instead of
counties. This Is but a step toward
the overthrow of prohibition-a fact
plainly shown by the efforts being
made to nominate and elect the
strongest wet" candidates on the
Republican tickets.
Mr. Holmes, who is known as the
strawberry King" Of Northern Ida
no, was very active In the local option
fight waged In Bonner county, doing
everything in his power to save the
county for the 'wets" In spite Of
his efforts, however, the county went
dry" by an overwhelming majority.
Then Mr.. Holmes joined the Mum
icipal League and became one of its
hardest working leaders. His candi-
dacy for the legislature is announce
ed on the Republican ticket of Bon
ner county.
Mr.. Holmes Is quoted as stating
that, THE League Is unalterably OPP
posed to Prohibition and will fight
that issue to the bitter end"

James A. Smith, A. Nj, President
of the Smithsonian Business College
of Ogden, Utah, spent few days
here this week in the interest of his
school and to visit his cousin, Mrs.
Longfellow. That Mr.. Smith thor
oughly understands his line OF edu-
cational work is evident from the
growth and development of his col
lege, Eighteen years ago he began
with seven pupils and the college
now has corps of six competent in
structors who thoroughly train the
students in whatever business line
they take up. Mr.. Smith was a caller

ICANT--I COULDN'T.

We are in receipt of letter from
Congressman Thomas R. Hamer sta
ting that the recent edition of the
National Magazine will contain an ar
ticle laudatory of himself and begE
leave to send us one.
The letter was received in a FIR
ank" envelope and we were led tt
ask what right the government officl
al has to use the government Prank
to boost his private ambitions. Il
there were less of this kind of thing
there would surely be less talk aboul
raising the second class rates anc
common mortals would have better
postal Accommodations.
We did not respond but the mag
azine came just the same. The artl
Gle was there and it contained a lo1
of stuff about the Colonel's war rec
ord and how he, Thomas r. Hamer'
was responsible for the present tar
iff on WOOL copper, hides and sugar
Of Hamers war record the people
know a great deal more than the re
porter of the National Magazine VINO
interviewed him We know who was
the first victim of his deadly pistol
We know where and how he was
shot. We know how many battles he
fought and we know what the mem
bers of the First Idaho Infantry thnl
of him. If we don't, we have only tc
ask them.
AS to the tariff question, we are
long way from Boston, the home ol
the National Magazine, but we pre-
tend to know something of that too
Colonel Hamer has made a record
unequalled in but two things. First
his constant use of the words, 81
CAN'T" and second, his entire dis
regard of the opinions of his constlt
uents and his presumption that the
people of Idaho are all fook-fit sub
jects or the insane asylum, as II
were.
In spite of all this tomfoolery abou'
his making up the tariff schedules
on copper, WOOL sugar and hides re-
gardless of the wishes Of the senate
and the other 384 representatives he
hastens to admit in an interview IN
the Statesi an at Boise the other day
that he COULD NOT without join
ing in with the organization and
proudly proclaims to the voters that
this was the reason he bowed his
neck to the Cannon yoke and slept
soundly in the capital corridors du-
ring the sessions until he was ava
kened by the organization whip when
there was a close vote on.
When the people of Grangeville
demanded that the postoffice
main at the presen t location he

walked up rolled over and groaneo
Il CAN'T When the people of Ilo
wanted their postoffice restored his
only answer was, Il CAN'T" When
the farmers of North Idaho demanded
free sacks and twine, he did not e.
ven wake up long enough to say 81
CAN'T" There is another side tC
this Il CAN'T business. One of the
state officials said the other day
There is one thing sure, when Fren
ch was in, we could get something
done, now we can't get d-n thing
attended to.
The people of Idaho demand a live
representative. We don't want a
dead one" as he is dubbed by a
prominent labor leader In Washing
ton.
In his dope about the tariff HameI
presumes our ignorance. In Wash
ington this year there was a great
contest ON over the tariff. The man
ufacturers of New England were seel
ing high tariffs On manufactured
goods and free raw materials. This
bunch was lead by Aldridge in the
senate and Cannon in the house
Boston, the home of the National
Magazine, is the hub of their uni
grafters, ON the necessities of life
that Hamer of Idaho, cast his lot af
ter pledging the voters of our state
that he would not 1t Is from this
bunch he claims to us, he got tar
iff on raw materials.
Pitted against these high tariff ma
ufacturers and free raw material ad
vocates were the western senators
and representatives lead by Borab
and Hepburn of Idaho, Cummins OF
Iowa, LaFollett of Wisconsin and
Poindexter of Washington, who de-
manded a tariff on raw materials II
there was going to be high tariff
on manufactured goods. 1t is these
staunch representatives of the rights
of the people of the West whom the
old standpatters are pleased to dub
insurgents" In spite of all they
could do in the premises an investi-
cation of the tariff bill shows tina,
the tariffs ON raw materials are only
about one fourth as high as those
on manufactured goods. If few of
the representative and senators of
the West, like Hamer, had not sold
their birthright for a mess of pot
tage, dig In the pork barrel, this
unjust discrimination could not ex.
ist. A few of our citizens who will
live in the shadow of a public build
ing or two may be overjoyed and
blinded by the prize package they
drew, but the great mass of the vo
ters of Idaho will not be blinded on

the issue. Even in this there are
times when a man gets more for be-
ing a man and fighting than he does
by groveling at the feet of others;
and Hamer did not get any more pub
lie buildings, and not as much OF an
"Open River" appropriation as did
French.
The people of the Great West and
of Idaho are right in their Demands.
They demand men to represent their
interests and they are going to have
him in the person of Burton l.. Fren-
ch, a manwiho has our interests at

Hunting for clam shells has a great
fascination for many who are Mred
by the idea that they will be fortu-
nate enough to discover valuable
pearls. No doubt a few are reward
ed for their search but the many are
not. 1t is safe to say that tilling
the soil is on the whole far more re-
munerative than searching the beds
of rivers, even where the shells a
bound, for there is more money for
wheat than In pearls.

The Water Works Question.

chat for year or two the taxes are
increased. The fax levy in Moun-
ain Home for city, county and state
amounts to So minis, this is collected
to defray the town, county and state
expenses and if the bonds are voted
that levy will be augmented Z ad

proyement bring additional people
here to assist in carrying not only
the mills but also the So now i'm
posed?
The levy is large now because the
rendered assessed valuation is only
100000 if the valuation was doubl-
ed the levy would be just one half
what it is today.
If the installation of these improve
ments does not induce new settlers
among us it will fail to do what il
mas done in all other towns where
tried.
If the bonds are voted the coun-
Gil will submit the plans and specifi-
cations to competitive bids, afetr set

When the bids are opened and If
the work can be done for less than
