THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

The papers of the state are Just
now devoting much space to the di-
rect primary law which was enacted
by the Tenth legislature, and in view
of this and the further fact that
this year viii give the people the
first real test of its efficiency. it is
interesting to note the utterances of
President A. Lawrence Lowell of
Harvard University. an eminent
student of government and govern
mental systems. On the motif of
reform. generally, DR.. Lowell in a
recent speach delivered himself
thus:
Many good people stand aghast at
methods in public life which they
commonly employ themselves in more
private affairs. They rail at a poll
teal machine of any kind. when
they are in fact conducting with great
complacency a little machine of their
own in some society. They regard as
abnormal in politics a mode of con-
Quoting business which they adopt
naturally in carrying on a club or
even reform movement
Refomers are always prone to be-
live that any new device of their
sponsoring will work as they believe
it surely Will and when it does not
they are tremendously disappointed
They are far too prone to think that
they have a panacea which will
change humanity, whereas man is
pretty likely to remain as he was be-
fore he tried their scheme-some
good, some bad. and the mass indif-
ferent to matters which do not touch
their personal interests.
Continuing and touching directly
upon the question at issue. the
learned gentleman said:
The subject of direct primaries is
burning one at present. Public
opinion on this question is in a
strange state of chaos. The cam
paign for its adoption in New York
IS in full cry at the very time that
in Boston it has been abolished as
a failure. Substantially every one

This is the first intimation we have
had that we were "slobbering" over
anyone and, as the appelation-ist is
worthy of reward for having so ap-
pelated, we hasten to 'restitute."
The Maverick is not supporting
anyone for the nomination for gov
ernor, as yet. But it is supporting
the present Republican administra-
ton of the state, from the governor
down, Just as it would do, were the
official roster occupied by entirely
different names.
Were our governor of other than
our political faith, we should still
embrace the opportunity to pat him
on the back for every good and
beneficial act.
AS between parties, we chose the
Republican faith. When it comesto
state and party or state and man, we
are for the state every time.
The press of Idaho, generally is
head over heels in politics. A paper
writes a vicious political editorial,
commencing Brady to succeed him
self, and in the next breath, curses
some contemporary for speaking in
praise of ONeil, and warns it that
the campaign is not yet on.
Well, truth is, the campaign is
not yet on" but it will be very. ma
terially soon, and the powe that is
forcing the issue is the Brady press.
We may support Brady and we
NAV support O'Neil. Possibly we
may dig up an entirely new stick
timber and label it as the ne plus
ultra of all things gubernatorial. We
don't know yet. We haven't had our
eye glued to the bunghole of any
particular brand of barrel, and we
have no master" Governor
Brady has done and is doing some
mighty good things for Idaho, and we
have and will commend him in work
well done, but this does not of nee.
essity mean that we consider him
the only man in Idaho who is capable
of occupying the wheel house of the
Ship of State, and steering a course
that is true.

IN Boston. including the leading
politicians of both parties and re-
formers. agreed that either system
was better than the method of direct
primaries which had been tried for
several years.
We have no comment to offer on
the subject. During the campaign of
1908 we maintained our equilibrium
on this point of issue in as dignified
manner as possible, astraddle the
fence. We are still securely perched
in that position and perfectly willing
to tumble on either side
1t is said that the Idaoho law is
far an daway the best that has been
enacted up to date, and will prove
efficacious and satisfactory in every
way. If this proves true, then the
future campaigns will simmer down
to the same nature as those of the
patent medicine house or breakfast
food firms--a matter of advertis-
publicity The candidate who
is able to get his name and brand
of virtues most thoroughly and IA
military before all the people should
be the favorite in the nomination
race, and while he may not be the
certain individual upon whom the
party leaders. in convention assem-
bled' would have placed the laurel
wreath, it is quite certain that he
will be selected from among those
available" under the old system.
Up to the present year we have had
but one republican machine This
year bids fair to give birth to a good
half-dozen.
What will the harvest be?"

sNIUDGING.

Elsewhere in this issue you will
find the paper" "Smudging to Save
Fruit" which was read before the
meeting of the State Horticultural
association at Nampa last week by
Judge w. c. HOWE of this city. 1t
is learned article from a man whose
experience along the lines touched
upon is of that practical knowledge
which counts.
The people of this vicinity look
upon Mr.. HOWE as an authority in
all matters pertaining to fruit cul-
ture, and his reputation is becoming
more than state wide
The advantages of smudging as a
protection against the late spring
frosts have passed beyond the ex-
detrimental stage, and the practical
mode of procedure, as set forth by
our fellow townsman. will be of in
calculable value to the fruit raisers
of the state

THE HOUSE OF GOVERNORS.

Gov James II. Brady is now in
Washington for the purpose of at
tending the conference of the gov
ernors Of all the states, which takes
place next Tuesday and Wednesday.
In the invitations, which were sent
out by Gov. Augustus E. Wilson of
Kentucky the purposes of the meet
ing are fully explained as follows:
The conference has no legal an
thority of any kind At the previous
conferences, the conservation subj
ject was the one chiefly thought Of
and it viii be what the governors
will recommend on the income-tax
constitutional amendment may come
up. The matter of handling extradi-
ton papers is important. Uniform
state laws on matters of universal
interest, school laws, road laws. tax
laws commercial paper. warehouse
receipts, bills of lading. etc: the con-
troll of corporations. Of which taxa
ton is one branch; the action of the
states in regard to water-powers
within the states: marriage. divorce
wills, schools, roads. are all within
the range Of this conference. and the
agreement Of all of the governors
on some of these subjects. and by
many Of them on any. would be OF
useful influence.
The meeting has further interest
and importance in being for two DAYS
in touch with the National Civic Fed.

governors a chance to learn what that

prominent men of this country is do

at which many matters of local in

While there is neither desire or

A COMMON SENSE ACT.

Mountain Home school children
are enjoying a forced vacation this
week. owing to the coal shortage and
the common sense action of the
school board in diverting the one car
of coal that came in to them last
week to the needs Of the people who
were in dire distress as a consequence
of the fuel famine.
Our school board cannot be to
highly commended for the course
persued. Il fully realized that a
warm and comfortable school build
ing was but an aggrivating and use

ANNOUNCEMENT.

1t has always been the aim of the
present publisher of the Maverick to
give Mountain Home a paper of
which every citizen might well be
proud. We have at all times stood
for progressiveness and advocated
those principles that seemed best for
our local conditions. We have pub
lished a paper just a little better
than the general business conditions
seemed to warrant, but the apprecia-
ton as expressed by the substantial
patronage has well repaid us for our
efforts.
During the past year and especially
the past few months the business of
the paper and especially the job print
ing department has increased to such
an extent as to demand additional
help on the business and editorial
end of the establishment In view of
that fact we have secured the services
of one of the best newspaper men and
editorial writer's in the west and take
pleasure in introducing to our read
ers Mr.. Truxton Talbot. former editor
of the Pocatello Advance" and the
Boise "Idahoan"
Mr.. Talbot is well and favorably
known to the newspaper men of Ida
no and to most of the public men of
the State. One Of his greatest recon-
mends is that he has made bitter enc
mics as well as warm friends in
fighting for the right and that in his
writings he talks plain. to the point
and calls things by their proper
names.
We believe you will like Mr.. Tai
bot, as he numbers some of Idaho's
best citizens as his staunch friends
and this further recommends him to
us.
Our new editor is a practical print
er and an advertising man of ability
In fact he is capable of giving a good
account of himself in any and all
branches of the business. He is a
student of people and conditions, as
well as books and papers. and his
writings will appeal to you as being
from the heart.
He is a great believer in the people
thorough optimist and contends not
only that all clouds have a silver lin
ing, but that the world is surely grow
ing better.
He believes in Idaho, has a splen.
did knowledge Of the resources of the
State and the possibilities of the fu-
ture. You will not find the gentle
man visionary. He talks too much
hard sense" for that One thing
however, we can vouch for, you can
depend upon his telling you the truth
We consider this all the introduc.
ton necessary, as Mr.. Talbot has a
faculty of speaking for himself. and
making himeslf heard.

also iambasting the railroads.
We are in an agreeable" mood as
we pen this. We lost about $50
hustling for coal. and paid a vari-
gated assortment of prices for what
we did get. Therefore, we agree with
all that coal dealers shall hereafter
be recruited from the ranks of the
weather prophets and shall be
drawn and Quartered if they refuse
to put in one million tons of coal
each and every new moon. We also
agree to damn the railroads and. in
so agreeing to be agreeable and dam
nable, we likewise agree that we
have contributed our requisite pro-
portions of damns to all the damn
nonsense, and will now attempt TO
talk common sense.
During the summer months the
railroads have every opportunity and
facility to haul all the coal needed
to all the towns and cities. and the
reason they do not do this is that
they have no orders to fill for such
delivery The mines are closed down
and the miners out of employment
for the same reason-lack of orders
1t will be generally noted that the
condition of the great middle class
is not one of extreme opulance, and
that, owing to the increase of prices
of necessities, with no corresponding
increase in the price of labor, the
people who compose this class are
not, generally, in a position to put
in their winters supply of fuel in
the summer and fall, as they once
We're. On the other hand, those who
can well afford to put in their coal
and wood during the summer months
will not (barring the usual excep-
lions that prove the rule) do so, and
there is no law, nor can one be
enacted, to compel them to pursue
such a course. And, remember. to
add to the stress in times of famine.
these very people of wealth are the
ones who receive the first attention
and are supplied with one, two of
more tons, while the poor man can
only get sack here and there, at
an exhorbitant price Another factor
is that the big hotels, office buildings
and department stores contract their
coal for delivery as they need it. Not
summer delivery. mind you, but de-
livery at times when the supply is
normal, short of panicy. AS with
the smelters of the north, the rail-
roads must supply these business
places according to contract, and this
means the employment of miners in
digging. and railroads in hauling
this supply to the detrimentl Of the
general market.
The whole matter SINNERS down
to but one proposition: Some ar.
rangement must be made by the
government to keep the miners work
ing all the time and. in conjunction
each municipality must arrange
through the system Of subsidy OF
guarantee of sale, for the storms
of the winters supply of fuel durins
the summer months
1t must be remembered that ship
ping facilities do not and canno
keep pace with the increase of popu
lation in these western states. ane
all the damning and "hot air
burning against the railroads anc
coal dealers will never solve the vex
ing problem.
Common sense alone viii do it.

MOST DEPLORABLE.

Stern necessity" has caused the
President of the United States to re-
move Clifford Pinchot. honest, be-
loved, Woodworking and respected
servant of the people, from the office
of Chief Forester. a position he has
held since its inception. and of which
he VAS the responsible creative
agency.
Never in history has a public
official conducted the affairs of his
Office with greater ability or a
sterner sense of his obligation to the
people of his country. Therefore, his
forced retirement seems in the nature
of national calamity, insofar as
the consideration of the fact that
honesty in public Office is a flower
of rarest fragrance"
Mr.. Pinchot is an exceptional man.
He combines the rare qualities of
wealth, intellect, energy and honesty.
A combination of virtues which is all
too conspicuous by its absence in the
public official and private business
man oftoday. He is undoubtedly the
4 greatest forester the world has ever
known, and. while some of our papers
and our sheepmen choose to justify
their anti-Pinchot course by minor
disparaging remarks relative to his
being a dreamer his work in con-
serving the natural resources of the
country to the benefit of the people,
will figure in the future histories OF
the nation with the noble acts of her
greatest and most self-sacrificine
men.
While being we'll aware Of the fact
that the Pinchot letter to Senator
Dolliver, and its public reading in
the Senate, made it necessary" in
support of the tenability of his posi-
ton, for the President to pursue the
course he has taken, we cannot re.
frain from comparing the known
relative worth to the public OF the
men concerned.
What President Taft will be to his
country remains for the future to dis.
close. The universal wish of the
people is that he may so act that hi.
memory will forever live in the
sacred archives of love where the
spirits of Lincoln and Garfield are
now enshrined, and where a mich,
