PLEDGES OF THE PLATFORM
OF 1908 FULFILLED.

The Republican party presents
its candidates and this platform
to the citizens of Idaho with in
creased confidence that both will
meet with their approval. This
confidence is born of a record of
promises fulfilled. Its platform
pledges of 1908 were carried out
to the letter by a republican gov
ernor and republican legisla-
ture. Our party, in its contest
two years ago, pledged the en-
actment of a local option law,
antitrust legislation, law for
highway improvement, an en-
ployers' liability law and several
other important reforms. All of
these and much more progressive
and reformatory legislation is
now upon the statute books Of our
state as a result of the work of
this political organization. In adj
dition to this magnificent record,
the party has given to our citi-
zens a primary election law which
enables the people of each politi-
cal organization to decide direct
ly who their candidates shall be.
ENDORSEMENT OF PRESI-
DENT TAFT'S ADMINISTRA
TION.
We congratulate our party and
the country upon the record mad
by our president William III.
Taft. Without ostentation or dis
play, but with calm, dispassion-
ate and judicial action, he has
proceeded to carry forward to
fruition the mighty work started
by his illustrious predecessor,
Theodore Roosevelt. He has sue
ceeded in having enacted into law
practically every great reform
pledged by his party and approx
ed by the people at the polls.

GRAIN COMMISSION.
We favor such amendments to

such adequate appropriations for
the use of the grain commission of
the state as will make fully eff

said commission because of their
special fitness for said work.
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
Our system of public education

numerous public schools and high

dustrial school at st. Anthony,
and the University of Idaho, com
posed of college of letters and
arts, the college of agriculture
and the college of engineering,
located at Moscow, should be the
first concern of the people of the
state. We therefore pledge the
republican party of this state to
maintain the integrity of these
state institutions as described by
the act creating them and to sup
port each of them in maintenance

of the state will allow, recogniz-
ing that on the growth anddevel-

youth of Idaho. And to this end
we urge the Legislature to take
up and pass the appropriation

liable institutions as soon after
converting as possible, and before
the other work of the legislature
shall be taken up.

OCEAN MONSTERSIN BATTLE

Early on the morning of August IA last. while
engaged in building new quarters for the light
house keeper at Breaksea island. near Rottnest
Western Australia. the contractor and his men
noticed bull whale with COW and calf passing
the island some distance on.
An hour or so later-about nine o'clock to be
exact-the men we're startled by an extraordinary
noise apparently coming from the eastern end OF
the island a noise unlike anything they had ever
heard before. Dropping their tools and starting
toward the east they behed such sight as 1t falls
to the lot OF few people to witness. There not 500
yards from the shore was being waged battle
to the death-a fight between the great COW whale
previously seen and a school OF thresher sharks
The sharks. as though acting In accordance
with some preconcerted plan. had completely sur.

that nothing to be feared from the calf. con.

and again they charged In upon her. their jaws

sea red with blood. Meanwhile the COW lashed
her tail furiously. hurling up sheets OF Redeemed
water and occasionally crashing down with ter.
rife force upon one OF her voracious opponents.
Presently the spellbound spectators realized
two facts-frst that the calf had disappeared In
the melee. and secondly that the tortured whale
was undoubtedly becoming weaker. II was obvious
that the unequal struggle could have only one end

Chicago.-The old problem OF
whether a snake can commit suicide
by biting itself has been solved to the
satisfaction Of Bosco, a six-foot rattler
which was residing temporarily In
Chicago. In an effort to make late
supper out Of a guinea pig Bosco's
fangs missed their mark and sank into
his own body. He died Of snake bite
few minutes later.
The suicide OF Bosco was accom-.
plished In the Office Of DR.. Frederick
Everett, 346 Center street. where the
rattler was in captivity for the pur-
pose OF supplying the venom used by
physicians I'm extreme cases OF blood
poisoning or in other emergencies
where a powerful irritant is neces-
sary.
Bosco was sent to Dr. Everett from
Brownsville. Texas, last November.
The snake apparently did not like the
Chicago climate, for from the time 1t
was Gagged In the physicians Office 1t
refused to eat Such delicacies as rats
and mice were spurned. Eventually
zoologist suggested that a young
guinea pig might tempt the reptiles
appetite.
DR.. Everett secured the guinea pig,
but when II was placed in front OF
Bosco's glass cage the snake merely
looked bored. The physician decided
that his snakeship could continue his
fast as long as he wished TO, and
made no further effort to feed him.
The guinea pig was kept in the Office,
and became a greater pet than Bosco
could ever hope to be.
Returning to his Office at a. m,
after a midnight call. Doctor Everett
found Bosco in terrific rage. The
! Office was In darkness, but the ply
sician could hear the snake threshing
around In the glass cage. 1t was ap

back the glass door of Bosco's prison
and held the pet where Bosco could

guinea pig. Before the physician
could close the cage door the pig
had leaped from his hand and had
fallen into the cage.
