THE COUNTY FAIR.

The Canyon County Fair was
huge success this year. The atten-
dance was above the average and
the exhibits in every department
were above standard. The program
was carried out according to the
schedule without hitch of any kind.
The fair this year reflects great
credit on the management. Presi-
dent French and Secretary Clark
are entitled to great praise. They
are new at the fair business, but
they handled the event like veter-
ans. They received great assistance
from Mr.. ]. B. Gowen, for many
years the secretary and one of the
best men in the country. Directors
VonWasmer, Elston, Royston, Han
nah, Carnage, Turner and Rock
wood were also valuable men and
helped out in many ways.
The fair this year was a financial
success. The officers Immediately
upon their election determined to
keep the expenses at the minimum.
The premiums, attractions and sports
were not cut down but all other
expenses were. The receipts were
not as great as was anticipated, but
the people were not as flush finan-
cially this year as they have been
in the past. In consequence most
of them attended only one day
where they had gone two and three
in other years. The management,
however, feels that it can pay all
expenses of the fair; take up the
outstanding warrants, and pay the
taxes and interest on the mortgage
Indebtedness. That puts the Fair
Association in good condition fnan-
cially.
The people of Canyon County are
to be congratulated upon the dis
play they made. Every department
was up to the best we have ever
had and many were far ahead. EN-
nett, Nampa and Payette had big
community displays. Parma and
Roswell were not far behind. A
surprise that was genuine was the
showing made by the dry land pre-
cincts, or rather the precincts that
are under the government project.
Those people have new places and
have not had water before in sufi-
cient quantities to do much good.
1t takes no prophetic eye to see a
wonderful future for the great
Deer Flat country. In ten years
from now 1t will be the garden spot
of Canyon county; and that means
the garden spot of the world

TAYLOR FOR GOVERNOR.

State Auditor Taylor seems to be
the most available man for the
gubernatorial honors from a Repub-
lican standpoint since Judge Ailshie
and other prominent aspirants have
laid down. During the past ten
months Mr.. Taylor has served the
people of Idaho truely, honestly and
faithfully as state auditor giving
the office his personal attention. He
is a capable man and the man for
the people.
Mr.. Taylor is a native of Wiscon-
sin and was born near Monsfort on
a farm in 1868. After receiving a
common country school education
he went to the Amity (Iowa) Col
lege from which he graduated. He
took up the newspaper profession
having entered a print shop" at
Maryville, Missouri, where he learn
ed the trade. He came to Idaho in
1888, where he made his mode
owning and editing the Bonner's
Ferry Herald for nineteen years.
His first appearance in public life
was as a member of the legislature
in 1907, where he accomplished
splendid results for his constituents.
He has been a lifelong servant OF
the Republican party and is now
entitled to the highest honors within
the gift of Idaho Republicans.-St
Anthony Peak-ChronicIe.

WHOLESALE EXPENDITURE OF
MONEY.

The Tribune directs the attention
of the people of Idaho to the fact
that in four states at least, in which
the direct primary system fiourishes
that wholesale expenditure of money
is alleged against public officials. At
present Wisconsin is the seat of in
vestigation and Senator Stephenson
Is under fire. Last summer Illinois,
with her direct primary system in
full operation, was in the lime
light with Senator Lorimer the star
performer. A few years previously
Oregon was the center of attraction
with Senator Jonathan Bourne the
hero of the fray. In the interim
Idaho enjoyed the spectacle of two
men cavorting over the state with
the sole purpose In view of getting
an Office by the reckless, indiscrim-
mate expenditure of money. Penn
sylvania has long enjoyed loose poll
tics and corrupt practices and that
state has the direct primary system.
When the legislature had before
1t the direct primary bill the Trib-
une time and again pointed out that
the direct primary would of neces-
sity force men to spend money reck-
lessly in promoting their candidacy;
and that in time the poor man
would be completely eliminated from
once in this state. The things we
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1911-10-13

there is no certainty that it will
not be everything in the future.
Immediately after Col Hamer
made the announcement that he was
a candidate for the nomination the
Capital News pulled OF q fit. The
burden OF its outbreak was that Col.
Hamer had been defeated at the
primary and should forever hold
his peace. We might remind the
Capital News that James H. Brady
was defeated at the polls and should
forever hold his peace. Mr.. Brady
will not do that and the Capital
News will not criticize him. In
spite of the big reformation some
time since announced by the Cap
ital News Mr.. Brady occupies very
influential place at the councils of
that paper.
1t might be we'll for Mr.. Brady
to recall the last election. During
the primary campaign through the
Capital News he made a most bitter
fight on Col. Hamer. The people
did not realize what he was doing
until after the primary election. At
the polls they did remember. Mr..
Brady was Inundated as no poll
tician in the history of Idaho was
ever before Inundated. His party
carried through its ticket with the
exception of the head. That was
cut off with very little ceremony.
Mr. Brady should bear that in mind
in the future. He cannot build up
himself by attempting to tear some
body else down.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1911-10-13

expected to happen have happened
or are happening today. The worst
feature of the direct primary system
is that the poor man, no matter
what may be his ability, honesty or
worth, has little chance in politics.
The two campaigns place an un-
necessary burden on the candidate;
and, the candidate must take
chance on getting the nomination
In the first place. If he fails he
has expended money he could i'll
afford to spend. If he succeeds the
two campaigns have at least used
up his first years salary. The bur-
den is too great.
The thing that will happen is
that some rich man will make up
the entire ticket. He will finance
the entire primary campaign for
his particular slate. We hardly be-
lieve that the people of Idaho would
care to turn the entire state govern
ment over to the rich, even though
the rich were always good. If they
do not want such a condition the
sooner the direct primary is multi
fed either by law or by practice the
better it will be,
The Republicans could hold a
convention as in the past and sub
NIT the ticket to the people at the
primary election. Such proposal has
been made on different occasions
but nothing was ever attempted. II
was thought best to give the system
fair trial. This was done. There
can be no reason now why We
should not go ahead with the con
vention. 1t would protect candi
dates; preserve harmony in the
party and promote the welfare o
the people of Idaho by assuring
them of clean politics and gooC
government. Men chosen in conVen
ton would at least represent thu
+ different sections of the state, al
we'll as be representative citizens.

PRESIDENT TAFT.

President Taft made a great i'm
preston in southern Idaho. 1t Is
reasonable to assume that he has
done the same thing throughout the
country generally. This trip has
undoubtedly made the nomination
and reelection of the President GER
tain. And why should it not? Pres
ident Taft is great man, and comes
nearer filling the office which he oc-
supies to the satisfaction of the
American people than any man in
public life today possibly could. He
has talked to hundreds of thou
sands of his fellow citizens during
the past six weeks. They could not
have helped being impressed, not
only with the greatness Of the man,
but also with his honesty, sincerely
and broad patriotism.
One thing that impressed every
person who heard the President was
his evident modesty and honesty of
purpose. When talking to the peo-
pie of Caldwell he stated that he
was in sympathy with the efforts
being put forth by Senator Borah
and his colleagues in Congress from
Idaho to promote the welfare and
alleviate the conditions of the home
steaders and settlers on government
land. He promised to assist in Sc
curing much needed legislation.
However, he said frankly, that he
could not do it all. He admitted
that in all probability the legisla-
ton secured would be in the nature
of a compromise-not entirely sat
isfactory to the west, but an i'm
provement on the legislation we
have at peresent. His entire speech
exhibited rare honesty and straight
forwardness. He held out no false
hopes; made no fake promises. It
seemed that he wanted to take the
people into his confidence, and
frankly tell them the exact condition
that they might know, advise and
council with him. The people learned
from President Taft, himself, that he
realized their worth, Importance
and good sense. How different from
his illustrious predecessor. If ex-
President Roosevelt had been maxi
ing the address he would have said
in substance: II know the west;
know the people; I am of the peo-
pie; I am the people; and when
get to Washington I will give you

HAMER A CANDIDATE.

Col Thos. R. Hamer has an
nounced that he will be candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Representative in Congress. This
will be good news to the people of
Idaho irrespective of their individual
political Affiliations. Idaho can i'll
afford to lose the splendid ability Of
such a man, and we believe that
the people will again avail them
selves of the opportunity to secure
his services. This state has a
great delegation in Congress at the
present time. 1t is the strongest
from a western state and strength
will be added by the addition Of
Col. Hamer. Idaho will have two
representatives in the next house
and those two will probably be
Hamer and French.
The only opposition that Col.
Hamer will encounter will be the

greatly to be priced by any one
seeking his own political advance
ment. At some time or another 1t
has opposed every successful man in
the state. 1t has fought Hepburn,
Borah, French, Gooding and the rest
Of them. A few men have sue
ceeded temporarily in spite of the
fact that they had the support of
the Capital News. None could last
long with such a handicap. The
people have got wise to the Boise
paper. When a newspaper makes
the announcement that in the past
1t has been bought and sold like
butter and eggs but promises to
do better in the future, and yet
makes no change in the control or
management, the suspicious of the
people are not allayed. They still
feel convinced that the future is
too uncertain. The Capital News

STATES.

No where on earth, except in
Caldwell, would an address by the
President of the United States, be
interrupted in order to pull OF a
dog fight or run horse race. That
very thing was done last Friday in
this city. The action reflects little
credit on the management of the
Canyon County fair. 1t was done
and the less said about it the better.
SO we are informed. The Tribune
feels that it should protest the feel
ings of the people of this commu-
nifty, notwithstanding our informa-
ton.
Whatever may be thought of the
man, the President, is entitled to
decent consideration. His Office de-
mands respect. 1t i'll BELTS an Am
erican citizen to so far forget him
self as to treat with contempt the
Office or the man.
The people did not attend the fair
on this particular day in order to
see trained monkeys or six legged
pigs. Those curiosities, interesting
as they are, could be seen any other
day. While our guideless wonder
is our most brilliant attraction and
the leading product of our soil, yet
there are people who would rather
see, talk and listen to men. 1t
seems that the President of the
United States is such a one; and we
believe that the majority of the
people of Canyon County are about
the same as the President. Presi-
dent Taft went out of his way in Or
der to see and speak to and with the
people of Canyon county. The

ing in subsequent years in the weed
fight on the cultivated land.
Many individuals keep these weeds
down around their places and thought
fully lay the weeds in the road to
hold down the dust and pack the road
and when we drive by such a place,
run free from a cloud of dust and onto
a real road, the buyer let go of the
bucking straps, wipes the neighbors'
dust from his eyes, draws clean
breath and asks who lives there, says
he must have come from the states,
and wants to know if it is for sale.
Usually it is not, or if it is the price
is that sum on which the returns pay
a good income and it looks too high
And as We drive on the buyer re-
news his death grip and toe-hold,
takes another long breath, shuts his
eyes and asks us to rouse him when
we get to the next farm.
This country has made a strong
progress in roads in the last l8
months. In fact it is astonishing.
NOHSlucIllS lH6 amount OF WOTk zone.
Those roads which have been worked
are the pride of the contiguous resi-
dents and all whose way lies upon
them. And this progress has been so
pronounced that it throws the roads
Of unfortunate condition into pro-
nounced contrast.
If the farmers of this community
could know, as the real estate man
knows. the effect of weeds and bad
roads upon the prospective buyer, the
man to whom this country is holding
out its most pressing invitation to
come and locate, they would very
shortly figure out some way to make
their road frontage present a more
pleasing appearance and the real es-
tate man would have less to explain
in the next world. for be it known that
'shiftlessness' is harsh word and we
don't use if there is anything else to
lay it on to.

add ten times the cost of it to your
price-and then see how much better

Canyon county never produced a
better fair than the one just closed.
From the standpoint of exhibits it
could hardly be improved so far as
quality is concerned. And right
among our own people are a great
many individuals who found them
selves surprised at what they saw,
whether they will admit it or not.
1t is unfortunate that the outsider
was not more conspicuous.
The 1dahoan becomes accustomed
to the productiveness of this land
and learns to expect to see prize win
ming products in maximum yields.
But the strange part of it is that
such great majority of farmers,
practically all of whom could raise
such crops, will let the minority do
the painstaking. careful farming that
raises the prize winning products,
while they drift along the lines of
least resistance banking upon selling
out upon the strength of what the
neighbor produces and not on what
their own place has produced.
A comparatively large per cent of
our cultivated area is thus farmed ~
with speculative intent and it is not
to the best credit of the country at
large that the real estate man is forced
to explain in so many cases that this
owner or that owner is forced,
through reasons ranging from multi
plicity of affairs down to pure shift
lessness, to neglect the place, let his

full of weeds and generally present an
unlnviting appearance.
Every dollar spent upon destroying
weeds, and rubbish. cleaning bitches
of weeds, seeding all available ground
and keeping gates, fences and inn

And it would be a big paying in
vestment if the farmers would take
up the ditch and fence weed question
by communities and keep them down
thoroughly and completely. And the
gain in appearance and STABILITY
