MRS. BERGER MAKES
AN UNOFFICIAL TOUR
Of PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Wife of Socialist Representa-
tive Studying the Capt.
tails System.

Mrs. Victor Berger, wife of the So
cialist Representative from Wisconsin,
spent today looking into the workings
of the Capitals public school system.
Accompanied by a teacher from the
Ludlow School, who acted as guide,
Mrs. Berger inspected several of the
largest schools in the city, going
through the class rooms. examining the
equipment of various schools, and lis
tening to some of the children at their
recitations.
Mrs. Berger served last year as a
member of the board of education of
Milwaukee, and is interested I'm every
phase of public school work. She has
for many years past taken an active
part in educational work in Wisconsin,
and before her marriage to Mr.. Berger
taught in the public schools of Mil
waukee. She Is giving particular at
tention to the subject of vocational
training, and believes that ii should be
the function of public education to fiji
the child for some trade or profession,
and to prepare him to become self-sup-
porting.
Mrs Berger also believes that the
public school should extend the age
limit of its pupils indefinitely. so that
any man or woman of whatever age
could be admitted.
Many boys and girls" she says,
leave school at twelve, thirteen. and
fourteen. in the hope Of becoming self
supporting at once, and of accommodating
means early in life. Within a few years
time they are baffied and discouraged.
Their labor has been unskiled. they
have been unequlpped for the battle of
life. Even though they are past the age
of twenty-one, they ought TO be able to
go back to school and complete their
training"
The Inspection made by Mrs. Berger
today was not official. She IS interest
ed in all public work, and since her hus-
bands appointment to the District Com
mittee of the House she has been study
ing several phases of the Capitals mu-
DiCIDaI affairs

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgotten?
The reason is plain-the article did not
fulfil the promises of the manufacturer.
This applies more particularly to a
medicine. A medicinal preparation that
has real curative value almost sells it
self, as like an endless chain system
the remedy Is recommended by those
who have been cured, to those who are
in need of II.
In an interview on the subject PROM
inent local druggist says Take for ex-
ample DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for
in almost every case it shows immediate
results, as many of my customers testi-
fy. No other kidney remedy that
know of has so large a sale"
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root Is due to the fact that II fulfls
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver.
and bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles, and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
A free trial bottle will be sent by
mail, absolutely free. Address DR..
Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, n. Y, and

ties sold at all druggists-5oc and S1.00.

"Soothing Sirup" Is Free
List Idea of Minority

The farmers free list bill is treated
with contempt by a minority report pre-
sented TO the House today by the Re-
publican members OF the Ways and
Means Committee The minority report
is remarkable for it's brevity and for
the character of the language employed
by the Republicans.
Instead of taking up the items con-
tained in the free list bill and discussing
them pro and con. the Republican mi
Dority practically accuses the Democrats
Of playing politics: characterizes the
bill as political soothing SYRUP" and
demands an immediate adjournment in
order that the country may be spared
from further political exploitation.
The report says:
1.-The pending bill was ordered report
ed not only without investigation, but
without the semblance Of consideration
by the committee. 1t was stated in the
committee that Il would reduce revenue
about 81, 200, and II is now admitted
that il will cut down the revenue by
more than $l0000,000, and later admis-
sions are likely substantially to in
crease this amount.
THE measure was christened by it's
authors the farmers free-list BILL and
il represents a transparent attempt at
the manufacture of political capital In
view of the title which its friends have
given 1t. it would a. least have been
proper to investigate the effect It is
likely to have upon the agricultural
interests. The President of the United
States felt ii his duty to call Congress
in special session to consider the Ca
madam reciprocity bill. That bill has
already been acted upon by the House,
and instead of bringing forward tariff
bills, Ill considered or not considered
at all, for the purpose of administer
ing political soothing syrup 10 partic-
ular classes Of population, the under
signed are Of opinion that the interests
OF the farmer and of everybody else
will be subscribed II the country is
spared from further political eXploita-
ton and further tariff legislation at the
present time and adjournment is taken
promptly after the reciprocity bill shall
have been finally acted upon

with the conclusions reached in
the nice editorial it published last
week on the governor and the
bill he signed, and the possible
reasons why he signed it, in
which the Globe, with its usual
magnanimity, was willing to give
the governor the benfit of the
doubt. And it is yet, even though
that editorial was written before
the issuance of that marvellous
message of explanation" to the
Legislature which, reversing the
Scriptural order, carries with it
the voice of Esau while disclosing
the smooth hand of Jacob. Nor
does the Globe wish to be under
stood as intimating, because it ad
verts to this Scriptural incident
of sharp practice, that anyone
directly or remotely connected
with the enactment into law of
the search and seizure" bill sold
his birth right for a mess of pot
tage or assumed the role of the
gay deceiver'' for the purpose
of securing unto himself an in
heritance. But it, like hundreds
of other seekers after the truth,
is casting about for fairly reason
able and sensible grounds upon
which to harmonic the writing
of the message and the signing of
the bill without doing violence to
its conscience or injustice to the
governor. But from some cause
it does not seem to have made
much Roadway. If anybody can
do any better, with the material
at hand, and not say anything
mean about the principals in the
case, the Globe will gracefully
yield the platform.

GOOD PRICES FOR HORSES.

Horse buyers from Wash
ington were in the city last week
and bought through Cy Overman,
ten head of cracking good horses,
said to be the cream of the sur
rounding country, paying good
prices therefor. j. d. Long sold
his span of grays, weighing 290O
pounds, for $500; T. w. Irwin re-
ceived $475 for fine team weigh
ing $3.50; James Murphy sold an
other for $500 which weighed
$3.50; Fred Callison sold one ami
NAL weighing 1850 for $3.50; l..
Stewart one for 5000 weighing
400, and M. F. Rogers a team
weighing 1920 for $475. The
horses were shipped out Tuesday
morning of this week to Rosalia,
Wash, where they will be used
on a grading contract for time
and later will be sold on the coas
market. This bunch of horses av
eraged in weight 1887 pounds an
the average price paid per head
was $3.50, or IA IL cents per h..
which is more than twice as mucl
as beef cattle sell for. What is
the matter with the horse in
dustry?

What between the "'stick

ticle, that carries with it the ex-
hilarating Jingle, and a final mad
sudden death warrant, the Nez
Perez reservation braves are said
to have mounted the toboggan
slide for a rapid and inglorious
scoot for the happy hunting
ground, and an appeal has been
made to the Idaho Legislature for
the enactment of laws that will
reach out and arrest them in their
mad race toward extinction. The
Nez Perez is probably the best
tribe of Indians that has ever op-
Grated on this continent, and oc.
cupying that position it would
seem that they, of all others, are
entitled to consideration on the
part of the whites.

And now it is claimed on what
is said to be good authority that
John +. Nugent is responsible for
the fact that Gov. Hawley signed
the search and seizure" bill in
stead Of having it passed over his
veto, and that it really was "a
force put"
One version of the case is that
Gov. Hawley locked himself up in
a padded room for twenty four
hours and wrestled with search
and seizure" bill, without feed
or water, and like the Irishman
and the log in the roll down hill,
the governor, be it said to his
credit, seems to have been on top
at least half the time, and it ap-
pears to have been the last half,
for the decision was reached to
veto the drastic measure. But
when in his weakened condition
from prolonged fasting and
swearing and mental agitation,
his Nemesis, in the form of John
F. Nugent, the man who has pro-
baby caused Mr.. Hawley more
worry over this liquor question
than all others combined, came
upon him in company with a doz-
en- other influentials, and he fell
a victum to their Establishments
and seductive wiles and reversed
himself. And it is said, that is
why Mr.. Hawley's message to
the legislature which accompanies
the signed bill, reads more like
forty-three reasons for vetoing
the bill" than it does like an ex.
i PLANTATION of why he signed it
He is quoted as saying that he
would "sign the dodgasted thing
but he would be double ID
if he would re-write his message,

proved this and this alone-that
a conspiracy existed among the
democratic messengers to gain
office at any sacrifice of state

did not expect an investigation,

had no evidence to sustain their

PERTINENT QUERY.

The Caldwell News, which
served in the capacity of demo-
cratic state organ during last
falls campaign, must have mater
iall revised its views. 1t last
week gave utterance to the fol-
wing well advised editorial re-
marks, the pertinency of which
must be apparent to the most OBJ
fuse. It asks:
"Will the people of the state OF
Idaho again permit the fair name
of Idaho to be 'besmeared' with
political slime as was done in the
last campaign. Political mud
singing was entered into by in
dividuals of both parties. The
mud rake was brought into use
on every hand. And what of it,
"The Macay Dam," "The Land
Board" the high price of Carey
Act land projects, was Haunted
in the faces of the people. What
was Lansdon's testimony before
the joint legislative committee
concerning the public letters sent
out by him during the heat of the
campaignf The public had con-
fidence in Lansdon. The people
thought these were charges that
he was making, and that these
charges could be substantiated.
What must have been the conster
nation of the investigating COM
mittee when on the witness stand
he emphatically stated that his
open letter published during the
campaign meant nothing so far
as preferment of charges were
concerned but was written purely
for political effect.
"How can we understand why
the present land board since the
election can unanimously author
ize a Carey act land project at
$50 per acre when it was an in
justice approaching criminality te
do so before the election.
why were the people living
below the Macay dam so ner-
vous and excited fearing a flood
last fall during the dry season
and why were they so reconciled
since the election and kept still
for at least month and ahalf
at a time when a few warm days
| would loosen the flood waters in
the hills.
"The recommendation of the
state engineer asserting that the
condition of the Macay dan
does not endanger the lives OF
the citizens of Macay or their
property, has been received, ac
cepted and ordered executed will
out modification, by the present
state land board, without dis
senting vote.
"The report states that the only
damage which could result from
the dam in it's present form wouk
be to flood the low lands anG
wash out a few bridges and this
would be averted by the construs
ton of a spillway.
| Regardless of party the PEG
pie should not forget to place thu
stamp of disapproval upon any
man who tries to sway the publ,
mind through false pretenses
The individual or business firm
the man or party that canno
stand upon his own merits doe
not deserve the suffrage of thu
people. F"
