The state of Idaho will be the
scene Of one Of the greatest anti-sa-
loon crusades ever inaugurated in
this state is the prediction of the
Anti-Saloon league.
One of the prominent speakers OF
the campaign is Dr. San Small, the
noted orator and lecturer from the
south. Meetings have already been
arranged for in almost all of the
principal cities of the state.
superintendent Herwig of the Anti
Saloon league gave the following in
terview: "Our statewide prohibition
campaign will begin with a tremen-
dous rousing mass meeting here in
Boise on Sunday afternoon, October
2. Sam Small, who is often quoted
as a prince of the platform will
speak. Sam Small has lectured and
campaigned in almost every state in
the Union, resulting in the closing of
more than 10000 saloons. He is ac-
knowledged a leader of genuine plat
form work He has an encyclopedia
of information, a brilliant play of
imagery. an inexhaustible fund of
humor, wit and playful sarcasm. His
lectures are on solid themes of time
~ Importance, but his unique man
ner in treating them affords an en-
tertainment of delightful character.
I That accounts for the prominence
and endearing popularity of Dr.
Small with American audiences"

GIVE Us WATER WORKS.


The taxpayers Of Mountain Homo
quiet properly turned down the prop
osition to bond the town for $4,000
for the purpose of putting in a water
system. The subject. however.
should not be allowed to rest there.
but should be agitated constantly BIZ
every citizen, so that some action
may be taken which will insure a
supply of pure water for domestic
purposes before the next irrigation
season, if possible. The people Il
Mountain Home have been particul-
arly fortunate. in view of present
conditions, that there has been no
general epidemic of typhoid fever
and other diseases. but we may as
well look the situation squarely IN
the face and realize that if it had not
been for the deep well at the depot
this last summer which supplied a
great deal of the downtown portion
Of the city, typhoid would have gain
ed a foothold through the use of wa
ter from shallow wells which had be-
come contaminated by sub-flow from
the irrigation bitches.
IL is understood that there are
one or two applications before the
Village Board for franchise to be
granted to a private company: this
seems to be the proper solution OF
the situation. Ii the applications nov
in hand are not satisfactory. others
should be solicitated. The interests
of the people can be absolutely safe
guarded The general laws of the
state provide ample protection and
insure against unjust charges or en-
croachments by private company.
Under these laws there is no posibih-
~ for the creation of a monopoly.
The franchise can be so arranged that
it will be optional with the people as
to whether or not they will take wa
ter from the private company. A
commissioner may be named to regu-
late the rates and the town may be
given the option of purchasing the
plant based on its actual value. with
out allowing anything for the fran
chise. whenever it is in position to
assume the indebtedness which n
municipal plant will entail Because
the town is not ripe to assume such
Indebtedness at this time is no just
ification for the people being depriv-
ed of pure water so long as a private
individual or a corporation is willing
to install a system.

CHEER OLD GLORY
Blue and Grey Veterans of Both Sides
Meet at Atlantic City.

Atlantic City. n. j.. Sept 49,
The hotels, piers and board walk are
crowded with old soldiers and their
families here to attend the forty
fourth annual encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Every
train today brought re-inforcements
to the crowd that began arriving last
week.
Five thousand veterans gathered in
the Savoy theatre this morning and
listened to a patriotic sermon by tine
Rev. Robert A. Elwood, chaplain Of
the department of Pennsylvania
Commander Van SAINT and Hilary
A. Herbert of Albany, former secre-
tary and a general in the confederate
army, were the principal speakers ct
a large gathering of veterans on the
steeplechase pier this afternoon.
General Herbert eulogized the
members of the Grand Army. He told
how the wearers of the blue and che
wearers of the gray were welded to-
gether in the cause of the Union.
Commander-in-chief Van SAINT and
General Daniel E. Sickles both said
they would work for the proposition
advocated by General Herbert of
bringing the grizzled vetrans of the
north and south together. It is BE-
lieved that the demonstration of
friendly feeling will end the agita-
ton against the placing of a statute

years ago from Iowa and purchased
the Leader-Herald, then a daily and
weekly paper. He proved tc be ener-
getic and capable and was at once
recognized as an active man in 10
cal business circles. He was selected
president of the Chamber of Com
merce and his influence in political
affairs soon extended beyond the linn
its of the city and county into state
circles.
He is recognized as a man of sound
integrity and abundant capability,
and his appointment to the respon-
sible position is a source of gratifi-
cation to the citizens of Nampa. That
the work of his office will be well
done goes without saying. He has
had wide experience in the line of
work to which Re has been called be-
fore coming to Idaho and is not an
inexperienced man in such duties.
The Leader-Herald will continue
under Mr. Jenness' ownership bat
will be under the management of his
brother who will arrive soon to as
sumo the duties of business manager
of the Nampa Record.

RICH STRIKE IN BEAR CREEK
Prediction Made BY Chas. f. Hay
den Proved Correct.

Prediction Made by Chas. f. Hay
den Proved Correct.
This property was examined and
reported on by Ches E. Hayden,
mining engineer of this place. The
prediction made by him some time
ago has been fully verified in the
striking of the ore which in shown
in the great ledge now opened. In
their recent work they have follow
ed out the lines that he suggested in
is report at that time.
The entire Shelton district never
looked more prosperous from the
mining standpoint than it does ID
day. other properties in the district
will be mentioned in our next is
sue
The Bear Greek Mining & Milling
company of Shelton Creek mining
district has today more prosper
Gus outlook than even before This
mine has been worked by eastern cap
italists for the past five years, dur
ing which time they have been con-
fined to stringers of ore near the sur
face. But in their recent work they
have disclosed a body of milling orc
feet in width A test of the ore
which has been produced shows that
the entire width runs s25 per ton
and two feet of the ore is consid-
cred as very high grade of gold pro-
duction
This mine has a 5-stamp mill.
From the stringers they have been
working. a 25-day run has been made
and in that time over $3.50 has been
cleaned up.
The same class of ore is now rem
resented in the great vein which has
recently been found in the stringers
and this proves conclusively that il
is the mother vain of the country.
It belongs to the same vain that they
have been working on the Johnson
property the last FIVE years. lying on
ly 5000 feet to the west from the re-
cent strike of the "Old sam" the

CREATING A FIELD.

Not so many years ago the month
ly and weekly magazine proved well
come visitors to homes all over the
land. There were few high class
publications devoted to good literl-
ture. science and to discussions of
timely topics Then came the popo-
lar price magazine. which brought a
certain class of literature to those Of
moderate means. and this type Of
publication filled a wide and growing
field. Frank Munsey was the pio-
ncer in this field. and it may he
truthfully said that he has always
maintained a certain standard of eN-
cellence. no matter how many maya
zines he has placed on the market.
While his publications have not met
favor with the highbrows. they have
appealed to a large and ever increas-
ing clientele. and that is because
they have been devoted solely 20
light fiction. O., the drama and to spe-
cial industrial articles.
Along in 705 Everybody's Maya
zine opened the undertaking field
through Thoras w. Lawson's ''Fren-
zied Finance a series Of articles
which startled the country and un-
doubtedly we'd the way for man,

vice thus performed both Every

for having sown the seed-the crop
Of which is seen every month at the
news stands. where dozens and doz-
ems of magazines. all devoted to at
tacks upon men and institutions. con-
front the seeker after genuine read
ing matter and the old fashioned lit
erary magazine The microbe of
undertaking has infected all but a
few Of the older publications. and has
given birth to so many new ones that
even the vendor of periodicals cannot
keep track of them. One going into
news stand now and looking over
the magazines displayed for sale
must possess a strong character TO
avoid becoming a cynic. According
to them honesty has long since de-
parted from political and business
life. and we are nothing but slaves
to corruption. 1t is a more charita-
BILE construction to believe that we
are slaves to the habit of reading
what is now placed before us by
these magazines. instead of rising en-
masse and. declining to patronize
them, thus forcing them back to the
old time functions of magazine.

The Central Committee will not

by the reason that the old committee
is not active and there was little oI
no organization in the county to take

crowd cheered as General Sickles
grasped the folds of the huge silk
flag with Commander Van aant.
General Herbert stepped up and said:
HAD it been told when I was in
Antietam that in the days to come I
would stand side by side with federal
soldiers and grasp the stars and
stripes with them I would have been
insulted. But love the old flag now"
Commander Van SAINT said he was
proud of the fact that no American
army ever surrendered to anything
but another American army. He de-
clared there was no longer a north
and south, but all are one great peo-
pie
A ripple of applause greeted the
mention Of Colonel Roosevelt during
the G. A. R. leaders address. The
name of President Taft was not men,

has unquestionably been made a vic
tim Of the revolt against so-called
Cannonism. speaker Cannon himself
has been renominated by loyal con-
stituency. but the big figures in the
house who have been identified with
him. have almost to a man been de-
feated for denomination. Il begins
to look as though the wave of in
surgency will not have spent itself
until every vestige Of the old order
Of things has been swept out Of ma
tional politics.
Tawney's defeat is not so much
personal one as it is a protest
against what he is supposed to have
stood for; and in contemplating az
one is disposed to ponder upon the
drifting away from old moorings i'll
to untried seas. The greatest pro-
gress the country has ever made the
most wonderful progress the world
has ever seen-has taken place UNI
der conditions which Tawney and his
colleagues have helped to create.
Il is hard to believe that these con-
ditions have been created by abor-
tive means; but the great majority Of
the people apparently think so judy
ing by the startling regularity with
which men of the Tawney stripe are
being relegated to oblivion.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The statement of the principles up
on which the republican candidates
will seek the endorsement of the vor-
ers has been promulgated by the
state Central Committee The plat
form is concise and to the point. aud
has been stripped of all the unnec-
essary verbiage which usually has
the effect Of obscuring the real i'm
tent of the measures advocated The
salient points of the platform refer
to measures which should have the
support of all progressive citizens
without regard to party utilization.
The platform advocates the en-
actment Of law providing for a nom
partisan Carey Act Commission, with
full and complete powers under the
constitution to manage and control
and safeguard the Carey Act matters;
and also for the enactment of a law
making it a felony for any official oc
state employee or appointee having
anything to do with the disposal Of
public lands under the Carey Act. or
otherwise to acquire any interest,
directly or indirectly. in any sucn
lands or to receive any reward. com
pensation or thing Of value for SER
vices performed in connection with
the disposal Of such lands The en-
actment of such laws will safeguard
the interests of the people and viii
place the administration Of state land
matters on a plane so far removed
from partisanship that all grounds
for criticism will be eliminated Gov
ernor Brady has urged such legis-
lation ever since his election to Of

Upon the liquor question the plat
form is very clear. IL advocates
strict enforcement Of the local option
