The matters most prominent in
me public eye during the week past
wore. President Taft's swing through
The state; the new investments
made by the Kuhn interests of
pittsburg; the politicians and the
state and county fairs. The latest
developments in the Bank of Com
merce affair at Wallace attracted
considerable attention as did other,
matters of more or less Importance
in the different localities.
President Taft in his swing
around the circle passed through
idaho. He has visited Pocatello,
Nampa, Caldwell, Boise, Lewiston
and Moscow. Press reports indi-
cate that he was warmly welcomed
in every part of the state. He made
a good impression wherever he met
the people. 1t is infrequent that the
chief executive of the nation visits
Idaho. In fact only three have
ever done so. Benjamin Harrison
visited Idaho in 1892 stopping only
at Boise. President Roosevelt drop
ped in now and again as a matter
Of course. President Taft in his
tIip covered the state most thor
oughly. OF course the President is
greatly interested in the west.
While the great reclamation work
by the government was inaugurated
under the Roosevelt administration,
the more important projects will
be completed under the administra-
ton of President Taft-proVided,
Of course, that he is reelected. The
denomination of President Taft is
a foregone conclusion. The boom
started for Senator LaFollette died
a borning Senator Cummings has
been mentioned from time to time
but has never been able to accum-
ulate much strength. The Taft
administration meets with the APP
prevail of the American people. They
may disagree with the President on
many matters, but they are with
him in the matters really worth
while.
The purpose of President Taft's
swing around the circle is two-fold.
he of course wants to get acquaint-
ed with public sentiment and create
public sentiment for his own par
icular policies. On the other hand
be Is candidate for denomination
and is looking after that too. The
visit Of the President has re-awaken-
ed interest in politics and politicians
In the State of Idaho.
He who is not interested in poll
Tics is poor citizen and has little
respect for the institutions OF his
country. You may say, do and
mink as you please but the man
Interested in politics is he who has
81 heart the welfare OF his country
Il is too easy to overlook our re-
possibilities. Most of us do thai
very thing.

lar as the Republican party is con
cerned. At this particular time We
