Irwin was elected president and general manager and empowered to negotlater and close a deal for site for fair grounds.
 No Bate fund is. available to, the district this year, the Legislature having failed to make any appropria- tion for agricultural fairs, and the dis trict will have to depend upon private subseffptfons and upon receipts at the gate to pay expenses. The subscrip- tiofl list was opened, at the. close Of the meeting, and directors contributed several hundred dollars out of their own pockets for a starter Next year the sum of $5,OO6 will be available from the state fund for premiums.
 1t is, the purpose of the directors to begin work. on the grounds and the track. as. soon as the site shall be secured and to have all preparations fofSThe fair completed in time for exhibftorssto make their arrangements and getr their stock in condition Premium lists will be prepared and published as soon as possible.

PASSING OF OLD HAYsEEO.
Farming Has Become Profession and
 The Farmer a Force in Politics.

The farmer who was known as old Hayseed and the farm boy who was ashamed of his country birth are taking their place in the story of our nation rather than in the actual life of it. In 1862, in the teeth of the Civil War. our national history was illuminated with one of those flashes of inspiration that was not at the time apprehended. It was at this time that the Congress of the United States determined upon the establishment of agricultural colleges No public land grants were ever invested in more profitable enterprise than those that endowed this branch of industrial education and translated the agricul- tural vocation from trade to scien- tific profession.
 Old 'Hayseed is dead, the country boy is once more proud of his birth right, and well he may be. A college graduate said to me lately: 'T must and will have country life and coun- try work. The professions have left their attraction. I hold my diploma for four years of clerical study; am now going to an agricultural col lege for two years more. I hold it tn. ho a trIrn nncf- h1Infp It carries me farther than the older institutions in the way of placing me in command of latest science and most vital knowledge. It not only teaches sciences, but applies it. I wish to know the world around me, and to feel that I not only can buy and sell, but can create what is bought and sold,' He added that in no other way could he feel that his manhood would be brought to the front.
 In all ways the position of the country home maker has of late been ennobled. In politics he has become a distinct force. It is this fact that has brought about, more than anything else, the dethronement of bosses. The appeals of Governor Hughes and ex- Governor Folk have been distinctly to the people; a return to that pure de- mocracy which depends upon the in telligence and trained will of the land owner. Forty years ago the farmer fell easily under the control of po- litical masters; to-day this is impos- sible-E. P. Powell.

FUNCTION OF STATE FAIRS
To Help the Farmer Improve His Own Fortunes and so Improve the State.
(R. L. Jones in Collier's.)

When the old adage that Uncle Sam had farm for every man" was a common slogan, the American far mer was a careless, independent, wasteful tiller of the soil. "You can't tell me anything about farms" said an old, good -natured rural Yankee; I've used up three" He is the far mer who has reveled in the lazy, shiftless task of exhausting virgin fields, and when this was done moved with impatience to other acres yet unbroken by the blow. He is the far mer to whom the flair" has only been festival, a combination of big pumpkins shelved in friendly rivalry and an amusement park of merry-go- rounds Indian dentists and pink lem onade stands His kind is being re- tired through the multiplication of our population. It is no longer easy to find new homestead farms. The vir- gin fields are cleared.
 Farming is a sober business. The problem is no longer one of robbing the soil and reducing the valuation of the narrowed field-it is that of en- riching the soil and increasing the valuation of the farm. This is one of the things the State fair has set out to teach.
 The economic salvation of Uncle Sam's household is infinitely depend ent entirely upon the scientific intel ligence of the farmer To help him improve his own fortunes is to help to improve the fortunes of this great family of States. The State fairs are fast assuming this important task
 Because farming is of fundamental impoStanes--to -the State, the State fair has become to all purposes a far mer's. fair interpretating for fuller

THE POWER OF IDEAS
Growth of Insurgent Movement Un paralIeled in American Political
 History.
(Collier's.)

Substantially all the party primaries and conventions have now been held, and it is possible to sum up the prog ress of the Insurgent movement. Quitting Democratic States entirely, the following are the Republican States in which the Insurgents are completely in control. The clasifica- tion is made on the basis of party pri- maries or conventions held during the past six months: California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dokata, Iowa, Minne- sota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire.
 All these States have had primary elections in which the issue was squarely Insurgent versus Standpatter, and the Insurgents have won; all of them have nominated Insurgent Re- publicans either for Governor or for United States Senator, or they have nominated Insurgent Congressional delegations, or adopted Insurgent par ty platforms. In addition to these, Indiana. although it is now Demo- cratic State, is completely dominated, so far as the Republican Party is concerned, by the Insurgent Senator Beveridge, Moreover, many Stand batter or Democratic States, like Ohio and Nebraska, have nominated Insur- gents for Congress in some districts. In this classification, the benefit of every doubt has been given to the Standpatters: For example, there is little question that New York and Massachusetts, so far as they are not Democratic, are Insurgent. The his tory of political parties in the United States does not show a parallel to the rapid growth of the Insurgent movement. The word Insurgent was first used as the name of a political faction less than two years ago, and the first vote cast by group of men acting as a body under that name was recorded on March 15, 1909. Today, the Insurgents dominate the Repub- lican Party in the country. It is an impressive demonstration of the power of ideas.

WHEN REUBEN GETS THE AK
Something Will Happen If the Farmers
 Ever Get Together.

If all the seas were one sea, what a
 great sea that would be! If all the trees were one tree, what a
 great tree that would be! If all the axes were one ax, what a
 great aX that would be! If all the men were one man, what a
 great man that would be- And if the great man Should take the great ax And fell the great tree Into the great sea
 What a splash, splash that would bel"
 What a splash, splash there will be when the American farmers, our real Colossus, find out their strenth, and, ax in hand, begin to act as one mani If, of course, he ever turns out to possess the organizing ability to do it
 The farmers have no interest in bad government-good government is good for them
 What will happen when all the far mers-or even half of them-are one farmer? Doubtless he will cut some wood. There may or may not be a splash But this we may take for truth-there are symptoms that our national colossus is stirring with the prevalent mania for collective action, and that a lot of things are likely to happen when Reuben gets the ax.- Herbert Quick.

application all the best devices for improving the condition and yield of the soil. We have developed much -skilr-and wisdom~since the last days of the eighteenth century, yet even then George Washington, himself a countryman, declared: Agriculture is the most healthful, most useful, and most noble employment of man" . Italy's great historian, Professor Ferrero, sums up the experience of nations by saying that the only tri- umphs. permanently won were won by the blow.
 The farm is the State, now as in the past, but the fun of farming is new. A decade almost measures the new movement. There are thirty eight State fairs now. Practically all of these are now subsidized in part at least by the State. Minnesota has invested nearly a million dollars of State money in her great fair The Legislature of New York has recently : sanctioned a State fair plant to cost
 two and half millions of dollars.
 There is no single industrial enter prise that, measured in so brief a
 term, has exercised a greater force for
 a commonwealth's good.

Law In Entirety Upheld BY SUI
preme Court
MERELY RULES ON ELECTIONS
Minis Case Goes Adversely in
Connection

The supreme court holds the Idaho
local option law constitutional. The
opinion which constitutes sweeping
victory for the local optionists, dispos-
es of several cases. The opinion lays
down the following: No person in the
state of Idaho has vested right to
engage in the sale of intoxicating
liquors and the regulation, control
and prohibition of the traffic is a
proper exercise Of the police power
The law is not uncertain or ambigu-
Gus.
Where there is no specific provision
for matters pertaining to elections and
registration the general election laws
obtain. Registration commences on
the first Saturday after notice of spe-
cial election is given and continues up
until and including the Saturday next
preceding the election.
The court holds that the different
sections of the statute governing its
enforcement and the method of carry
ing out the will Of the people, are in
dependent and separate provisions and
in no way govern or control the meth
cd provided by the legislature for the
submission of the question to the
electors. Under this ruling, the dis.
cussion%in the opinion is limited to
matters pertaining to provision fol-
elections. Issues raised as to the pro-
vision for the enforcement of the law
are not considered.
An entire act will not be declared
void or unconstitutional by reason Of
the fact that a section may be uncon
stitutional and void where the latter
is distinct and separable from the re
naming provisions.
Holding that injunction is not the
proper proceeding to restrain enforce
ment of the local option law upon the
ground that such statute has not beer
legally adopted by the electors Of tht
county, the supreme court today hand
ed down an opinion touching upon th'
local option law as raised in the cas-.
Of Raymond Minis vs.. J. M. Gilmore
ct al, a corporation case to the Can
yon county local option case and ap
pealed by the plaintiff from the dis
trict Of Idaho county. The decision
is against Minis, who is engaged il
the liquor business at Cottonwood.

Moscow Man Asks City for a
Franchise
ANOTHER ELECTRIC COMPANY
Another Electric Co. Ready to
Ask for Franchise

w. A. Clark of Moscow, who con-
ducts the gas plant in that city, has
asked the city council for twenty
five years franchise in Grangeville for
the purpose of laying gas mains in the
streets and alleys to convey gas to
various sections Of the city for the
purpose of lighting and heating and it
is said the council looks with consider
able favor upon the granting of such a
franchise.
Mr.. Clark agrees, if granted the
franchise, to begin the construction of
such plant at once and have the
same completed within ninty days and
not to charge more than two and a
half cents a foot for the first 100 feet
used, two cents foot for the next 100
feet and one and three quarter cents a
foot for all over 200 feet, this scale
being based on acetylin gas. If coal
gas is used it is much cheaper. After
four years he agrees to pay the city
one per cent of the net earnings and at
the end Of 10 years is willing to sell
the plant to the city if it wishes tc
purchase for the exact cost of the same
at that time.
Mr.. Clark has plant at Moscow
and it is said the citizens of that city
are well pleased with it and especially
do they find it economical for cooking
purposes.
The council took the matter under
advisement and will consider the sam,
at the next meeting. Mr.. Clark ha,
made canvass of the business men O
the city and finds them very favorable
to the proposition.
Since Mr.. Clark has arrived we un
derstand the rumor of another electric
company is again being heard and il
is said another electric company il
about ready to ask the city for fran
chise. There sure must be big money
in the light and power business if th'
city will pay dividends on two electric
companies stocks and gas plant.

Grants New Trial

Judge Steele last week granted a
new trial in the case of Steve Win
chester VS.. Ira McGary. In this case
Judge Steele some time ago granted a
Judgment to the plaintiff on a replevin
proceeding involving ore to the value
of $500, the ore coming from prop
erty in the Dixie camp, the ownership
of which is claimed by both litigants.
Recently a motion for new trial
was presented, the contention being
that suit in replevin was not a proper
proceeding where both parties claimed
the property, but that instead the ac-
ton should be one for damages. This
contention was sustained by Judge
Steele in granting the new trial. At
torney Casady represents McGary in
the matter and attorney Scales Win
chester.
