The Line-Up

The citizens of Idaho are no To-
niger in doubt as to the actual line
up in this State. 1t is the Saloon
against the Republican Party. The
men who wish to perpetuate the
reign and dominance OF the Saloon
ia this State have taken refuge III
the Democratic Party and are
now useing that organization to
accomplish their purposes. Their
can be no doubt as to this sltua-
ton. There is not saloon keeper
IN t.llS State nor man VINO belle
YES III the open saloon nor anyone
who can be influenced by the sup
porterS OF the saloon who Is not
working, might and main, for the
election Of Mr.. Hawley and the
defeat of Mr.. Brady. Where sho-
uld dry Democrats be found IN
this fight! " Where should all
self-respectlng citizens be found
in this crisis Where should the
women of the State be found /!
irrespective OF party should they
not be found firmly united for the
protection OF the home against the
SaIOOn and Tor the man who Is
reading the fight for themselves
and their children, for the purity
OF the home, and against whom
the shafts OF SANDER and abuse
are masSod by those who wish to
perp, tuate the saloon in Idaho and
thus contribute to the moral des
tructlon of that which is falrest
ana purest and noblest in Idaho.
Womanhood stands for the pro-
lection OF the home, for the Wellbe
ing OF the children. 1t stretches its
white arms about the precious ia
mlly circle and extends before the
advancing hosts of darkness the
sheen OF Its spotless robe which
like the robe of Venus, thrown
protectingly before her son in his
tight with mighty enemy, saved
hls life. When the women of this
State enter the booths to vote on
the Sth of November, their eyes
should look hey ond mere partisa
Il issue. They should see the homes
OF the people ofthls State filled |
with bright and happy children
whose interests are menaced by |
the saloon and they should cast
their vote to shield them from the
harm that threatens, from the dead
liest enemy OF the human race.
A vote for Governor Brady and
the Republican ticket at this time
Is vote for the home, for the
children, and for the young men
and women of this fair State,

1t is a source of regret that the sol.
emnity of the religious ceremonial
of the laying of the corner stone of
the new M. E. Church should have
been broken by the introduction of
political boosting and that, by a
minister of the church. The incident
furnishes cheap topic of gossip and
expressions OF disgust are heard on
all sides. The Rev. Gideon lmean-

The Republican is, and always has
-Republican-but we claim the
right OF every American citizen and
that is to have principle and the
right to stand by that principle ro
gardless of party politics. The pril
ciples which the Republican sland,
for are the same it has fought fo.
during the past year. We stand OPP
pos~d to the liquor traffic and stand
with Governor Brady for the closing
OF every saloon within the borders on
the fair state of Idaho, and with this
Republican state platform in the be-
lief that prohibition of the liquor
traffic should be written i'm the CON
stltution of the state. We must the
sure will stand for these principles

no direct power to make laws, we
want men who we believe will EN-
force the laws if placed on the stat
ute books.
There are a number of candidates
on THE Republican County ticket who

Nominee for Congress
Idaho has ever been fortunate in

A CROOKED STORY.

The Facts.
The records show that the land

to William L. Nchoi ut ftl an acre.
that the contract of sale was assign

In 1906 a water right was attached
to 40 acres of the land by , rchase.
In April, 1908, water right for 70I
acres more was purchase d and a pump
ing plant installed sufficient to irri-
gate practically the entire balance of
the land and the land was improved.
AT the time this loan was made, |
this land which had been sold by
democratic administration at $1,000, |
was worth at least $36 900, or $500 an
acre and the owner would not sell

CAl'sLS FOR BENEFIT
LESSON FROM EUROPE HOWs
HOW WATERWAY IMPROVE.
MENT HELPS RAILROADS.
HAS A CREATIVE EFFECT
Construction Of the Manchester ST.,
Canal Shown to Have Resuscitated
Many Dying Towns-Many Give
Similar Experiences.

In previous articles It was shown
that the waterways carry goods MOI
cheaply than railways do or can and
compel the railways to carry for less
than they otherwise would, and then
the claim was made that the improve.
ment of waterways is q benefit to the
railways with which they colnpeto
Several instances were given to sup
port this claim and many more might
be given if space allowed. for the
writer, who has studied the subject Tor
Is years, has found many instances
of benefit, and not single instance
of harm, to railways from the i'm
provement of waterways 1t Is now In
order to see II we can find q reason
for this rather surprising result.
Waterways, as has been said before,
produce benefits In three principal
ways-by direct saving in the cost OF
transportation OF goods carried by
water. indirect saving. by the lower.
ing of railway rates through the com.
pCtiliou vi WotOi iouloot Auu w WuHt
may be called creative effect 1t
is this last named effect which we
are now to consider.
Manchester, England, before the con.
struction of the ship canal, was
dying town. Hundreds of stores and
thousands of dwellings were empty.
factories were closed-some moved
away-and population was decreasing.
With the opening OF the canal all this
was changed. Factoriess reOpened,
new ones were built, the empty houses
were relilled and thousands of new
ones built to accommodate the popula-
ton that came pouring in. And the
benefits were not confined to Manches-
ter alone, but We're distributed over
the whole great industrial region, con
tanning over 100000 people, of which
Manchester is the center. 1t was not
only natural, but inevitable, that the
great increase in population and pros
perity in Manchester and the surround
ing region should be reflected In the
business and the profits Of the rail-
ways therein.

Liverpool Also Aided.

Liverpool Also Aided.
Liverpool fought desperately to pre-
vent the building of the canal and the
establishment of tbs new port of Man
chester; but instead of being injured
by the canal, the business of Liverpool
has increased faster than before. Dur.
ing the IS years before the canal was
opened the increase In the harbor re.
ceipts at Liverpool was only 100000;
in the same length of time after it
was opened the increase was 1885,.
900, The 100000 tons of traffic at
Manchester have not been stolen IRON
Liverpool, they have been created by
the canal.
Frankfort, Germany, before the
River Main was improved, was not a
dying city but was decidedly stagnant,
Mannheim and Mayence on the Rhine,
which had been improved. were grow,
ing rapidly, while Frankfort was grow
ing very little, AS soon as the canal
ization of the river was finished, which
was In 1885, the city began to grow
and has kept on growing ever since.
The population which was 1854 900 In
1885, has increased to $4,000 in 1895,
to $4,000 in 1905, and Is probably
more than 100000 now. Evidently the
people of Frankfort expect their city
to keep on growing, too. They spent
over $1,5O0,00O on harbor when the
river was first improved and are
hard at work right now building
new and much lalg harbor at cost
OF $4,000, 900 Just as In the case of
Manchester, the benefit was not con:
fined to the pity of Frankfort; the in,
dustrial and commercial life of the
whole region was greatly stimulated

industries were started, and today

Everybody Heaps Benefit.
AAuht tno WoIlu around anu always
and everywhere we find that the i'm
provement of waterways sets cities to
growing, factory wheels to humming,
and commerce to moving In a wider
anl swifter stream. Railroads gel
more business In big cities than In
small towns, In densely populated
region than in one that
is thinly settled. Waterways, there
lore, benefit railways-and states and
nations as well-by promoting an in
crease IN population, in manu- eturss
ana IN commerce. But for one who
likes to get clear down to the bot.
tom of things there still remains the
question: Why do waterways in.
crease population and create com
merce and Industry"
Consul General Mason, now In Paris,
out for some years at Frankfort, says
German craftsmanship was among
me hrst to fpresee that the time
would come when, railways having
cached their maximum extension and
there would remain vast
'urplus OF coarse, raw materials--coal.
'res, timber, stone, and crude metals
which could be economically carris6

'ortation. and that in fully de-
'eioped national system the proper
ole OF RAILROADS would be to carry
passengers and the higher classes Of
merchandise manufactured from the
aw staples that the waterways had
'rousht to their doors"
