MOUNTAIN HOME MAVERICK
PARTY ENTITY.

There can be no question but that
the merits of direct primary nomina-
ton will more than counterbalance
any shortcomings that the measure
may possess. but, at the same time,
there is great danger of party de-
terioraton if there is not broad
minded Interpretation of the law.
Oregon, which is naturally and
thoroughly a republican state, has
had some unpleasant experiences,
which has resulted in the election Of
democratic governors and senators.
This has been due to schisms in the
republican ranks created during the
primary campaign, and which could
not be healed before election day
we do not question the right of any
man to contest for the nomination
to any Office. Where more than one
aspirant is in the field, the people
will surely be able to decide who
shall carry the party banner, and
whoever is designated for that honor
should have the loyal support Of
every member of the republican
party. We believe that the republic
can policies, as a whole. are essential
to the development and prosperity
Of the nation and state, and that that
party should be maintained in power.
We believe also. that the contest for
primary nominations, from governor
down to constable, should be con-
Quoted in a broad-minded and friend
ly manner and in the spirit of Let
the best man win" If this policy
is adhered to, there viii be no sores
to cauterize before election day, and
the usefulness of the party members
and newspapers will not be impaired
in the election campaign by anything
their zeal for their favorite candi-
dates may have led them into during
the primary campaign.

nation TO the county Offices have al
ready announced their candidacy in
the Sentinel. and there viii unques-
tionably be more such announcements
i'm the near future. Thus the pr0spec-
tive candidates are out in the open
and the people have the opportunity
of making the nominations. instead Of
"a small clique of men controlling
convention. as has been the practice
in the past The deals and trades
of former years the raining up of
a slate behind closed doors and other
notorious features of the convention
plan have no place under the direct
primary Under this law. a man
seeking nomination must stand on his
record In the community and I'm the
event of competition. the people de-
eide for themselves who is better
fitted to carry the party's banner,
and they are emancipated from the
rule of the political boss. The evils
which were possible under the old
plan have no place in the new, and
that alone is sufficient justification
for primary plan of nomination. II
should not be forgotten that the re-
publican party is responsible for the
enactment of this legislation. and
there is no question but that the
people will give that party due credit
for this step in the direction of puri-
/ flying politics in the state of Idaho

GOVERNMENT LAND RENTALS.
The Sum of St3O,010 Has Been Paid
For the Use of Land-Fund
Helps the Schools.

BOISE, July ga remarkable
growth of the business Of the land
department in rentals is shown by
the report of State Land Commits
sioner George A. Day During
period of is months under Governor
James H. Bradys administration the
returns from this source have ag-
gregated S13O,916, as compared 30
100000 for the preceding 10
months Before that time the rev
enue from rentals of state land
amounted to little or nothing.
The plan of making land leases for
grazing and agricultural purposes
was inaugurated under Gov Good
ings administration, and has been
carried out by the present chief ex-
ecutive and associate members Of the
land board 1t was first advocated
by commissioner George A. Day,upon
. whom responsibility of putting the
system as adopted by the board into
operation has rested and who has
been exerting every effort to obtain
a revenue from as large an amount
of the state land as possible.
A fee of $3.50 is charged drawing
each lease. which, together with the
rents. goes to the state and serves as
direct benft to the public schools.
Since Governor Brady took the oath
Of office. fees aggregating S17S2, in
addition to the sum of s13O,916. as
shown by the commissioners report,
have been deposited with the state
treasurer.
In urging the Importance Of a
leasing system before the land board
Mr.. Day argued
How is it that this land is not
bringing in a revenue? Users OF the
range are for land in the forest re-
serves. and the state is entitled to gel
a rental
Mr. Day states
This branch of the business o.
the state land department has beer
, growing steadily from the time OF lt'
inauguration. and we expect to con
= tinue making leases until every acre
is bringing in a revenue on its value
All land situated in the forest re

and the fact that this money come

But There Are other Honors 70
Whites.

(Richfield Recorder)
The great fight-though il really
wasn't such a great fight after all
between Jeffries and Johnson is over,
and contrary to the general expecta-
ton. the black man won. He did it
so easily that il was all but a farce.
The people have been so used to see
ing Jeffries win, that not many be-
lieved he could be defeated. But he
was. And it was not the clever negro
boxer but a grim old man with n
scythe that beat him. Jeffries has
led the soft and fiabby life of the
rich man with convivial tastes. He
thought he was as good as ever. Gut
without knowing IT, he had drowned
all the old magnificent lighting ma
chine over the bar and in the life
of ignoble ease. He was good enough
to the eye. maybe, but he couldn't
fight any more. and so a new cham
pion was made
1t is not a serious backset to the
ultimate destiny of the white race
that a gorilla-like negro proved to be
younger and stronger than the white
man who for years had been ths
champion pugilist There are a lo'
of important lines Of progress where
in the race is still supreme 1t wa.
a battle that stirred up the Whole
sporting world and a lot of the
more austere world that simply
couldn't help being interested. Blu

The antagonism which has appar-
emily arisen throughout the country
against showing the moving pictures
of the Jeffries-Johnson fight would
be amusing but for the fact that the
virtuous position assumed by officials
Of many of the states and cities is
nauseating in the extreme. 1t is
claimed that most of the states have
a law against prize fighting and that
the showing of pictures Of a prize
fight would be a violation of that
law Every state has a law against
train robbery. murder and less SER
ious crimes. but a good many films
that are exhibited throughout the
country. without protest, have some
serious crime as the basis.
The pictures of the Reno fight will
be well advertised and patrons will
know just exactly what they may
expect to see Those who have
scruples against such exhibitions win
be fairly warned and may remain
away. This is not always possible
with the regular moving picture
program. for if that contains any
thing Objectionable. the patron does
not know it until the picture is
thrown on the screen. AS a matter
Of fact. moving pictures are proving
great educational force, and nc
matter what the subject may be
there is usually some moral This
applies to prize fight pictures as vel
as to any other. This class of enter
tainment is a boon to the people, ans
particularly in smaller communities
where it is almost impossible, other
wise. to get good attractions in tn
amusement line.
And returning to the question o
the Reno fight. If it is imprope
and unlawful to exhibit the pictures
it is equally improper and unlawful
for the newspapers to publish &C
counts of such fights Such men a
