Negro Modest; Only Wants S Months.

More than that, it is right that they
should. It may be mercenary, but
most of us are tinctured a little
with cupidity. At any rate, we
never heard of but one minister
who refused to respond to call
where a higher salary was offered.
And, mind you, we do not blame the
ministers for so doing. Nine times
out of ten they simply performed
their plain duty. Why, then, must
the merchant or banker, the imple-
ment dealer or lumber man, be
blamed for promoting his own well
fare? We hold that this is simply a
business proposition, and that under
present conditions, the anti-local OPP
tionists, as we commonly use the
term, have the best of the argument.
The theory has been advanced that
the saloon is not producer, and
consequently creates no wealth. 1t
is true. The merchant is not pro-
Queer and hence creates no wealth;
neither is the banker, but this would
be sorry county for the farmers
and laborers and the printers and
the preachers and all other produc-
ers here. There is often the rankest
ers here. Thor yis often the rankest
fallacy. The idea that because a
man does not produce something he
cannot enrich his community is abb
surd on the face of it.
So 1t is with the saloon. AS a
business proposition If the saloon
brings trade to the community, or
helps hold it for the community
it is good for that community to
have saloons, so long as there are
saloons close by. The business meI
of Canyon county say that outside
trade that formerly came to Canyon
county towns is now going to Boise
and Ontario. They even say tina
Canyon county trade is going tt
these two towns. We mean tina
Canyon county people do business
in Ontario and Boise, when the!
would rather do 1t at Payette, New
Plymouth, Parma, Caldwell, Nampi
and Emmett. They claim that tn
saloon draws this trade to the out
side towns. They have inquired o
their customers why they go outsid
and have been frankly told tn
reason assigned above.

Boise has both grown and enhanced
remarkably, according to all re-
norts. Neither town is, OF course
the whole county, and yet each Is
q fair tyne and measure of the pro-
gress and values of their respective
counties. The farmers voted the
prohibition policy upon Lewiston
wear or SO ago, closing 20 or ~
business houses, some of them sa-
looms and some of them houses
whose business was adversely al
fected. while the money then spent
for rent, wages, licenses, supplies
etc. here, is now sent away and
pays rent, wages, licenses, ETC., IN
other cities. OF course, it is said
we are morally better off for the
change but that is something that
each must determine for himself
and which does not affect the 'cash
value" contention, if answered either
wav. On the other hand, Boise has
met no backset, but has conttnu'
ally grown and prospered. 1t has a
large federal irrigation project up
on which, it has been estimated
some 100000 is being spent; II
is the scene of the $1,5OO,OOO ex
penditure on the state capitol, anc
its other public and private works O.
improvement are on a somewha
similar scale. For which reasons
and others, it is not unfair to pre-
sumo that the assessments Their
should increase at a much create
ratio than those here, without an
fault of the officials or the system

NOT NOW BUT SOON.

The Messenger is the name of a
published at Nampa in
the interests Of the churches and
local option. 1t is the most siren
uous, honest and able local option
paper published in Canyon county.
In its last issue the Messenger said:
"Local Option.
In this number we wish to pre-
sent some considerations for the con-
tinuation OF the present position OF
Canyon county toward the licensed
saloon; some reasons for voting
down the proposition for making
our county a wet county.
First: Local option has not had
a fair trial in Canyon county.
During the former local option
campaign which resulted in a large
dry majority, it was recognized
that the financial benefits of a sa-
loonless condition would not be evil
dent for time; we said more than
once that inthe radical change from
wet to a dry policy, some time
would be needed to make a salts
factory adjustment; that for time
it might be expected that the dry
policy would apear to be financial
failure. This would have been the
case under the most favorable con-
ditions. We contend that the time
has not been sufficient to make this
adjustment and give local option
anything like a fair trial"
Is that not a most remarkable
confession to come from the only
church paper published in the coun.
ty? The Messenger virtually says
that up to date local option has beer
a failure. After IS months expert
ence, results have not been achieved
therefore give us 80 months of the
same thing that we may show thai
local option is a success.
1t will strike the average either
that 10 months is ample time II
which to demonstrate a particular
system. At any rate after Il
months trial he will deem it danger
Gus to continue the system 81
months longer in order to give +
what the Messenger calls "a fail
trial" Local option has had a fail
trial in Canyon county and it II
condemned by the business men o.
the county, as well as by the Mes
senger. There are few of the radi
cal drys who so honestly admit itl
failure, while a great majority Of
the conservative temperance people
are in grave doubts of the efficacy
of the system. The business mer
of the county have no doubts at all
They know that 1t has failed. Eighty
per cent of the business men Of
Canyon county are against a closed
county. The Messenger is about the
same, but hates to admit 1t. We
congratulate 1t, however, on the ad.
mission already made and commend
its fairness to the drys generally.

A WORD TO THE WISE is sUFFI.

Boise Statesman: 1.-THE taxable
value of Nez Perez, Lewis and
Clearwater was increased from $11,-
O0O,OO to $4,000, 900. a gain of
143 per cent. On this same basis
Ada county's taxable value should
increase from $1S,0O0,OOO to s32,-
100000. If the ratio is not main
tanned, then there must be something
radically wrong with the officials or
with the system"
That does not necessarially fol-
low, by any means. There are sub
stantial, as we'll as argumentive rea-
sons why Ada's valuation might
easily be increased to $50,000,000
or even $6O,OOO,OO compared with
old Nee Peree's $27,000,000, with

NAMPA WILL LIMIT SALOONS.

At a meeting of the city council
of the city of Nampa held Friday
evening last a resolution was passed
endorsing the resolutions of the
Business Mems and Voters League
of Canyon County. The resolutions
appear elsewhere in this paper. The
council further went on record that
in the event the county should &c
wet in the coming election, an ar
dinance would be drawn limiting the
number of saloons in the city to not
tants. This would limit the mum
Der to not over five where there
were eight few years ago.

LET 1T BE FAIR AND DECENT.

A local option campaign is now
on in Canyon county. The Tribune
beseeches the leaders on both sides
to conduct their fight in fairness
and decency. Personal attack, VI
tuperation and abuse has no place
in the campaign. 1t is a serious
question before the people Of Can
yon county. Sincere, intelligent
men and women may honestly diff
fer. Some may be Disguised with
present conditions; others, like the
Nampa Messenger, may think the
system has not had fair trial.
The Tribune is convinced of two
thing, namely, that the moral con-
dition in Canyon county is no bet
ter and perhaps is worse than it
was when we had the licensed sa-
loon, and that the business interests
of the county have suffered severely
by reason of the present system. In
addition, the county, cities and
school districts have lost the Ii
cense money.
The consumption of alcoholic IL
quors by the people of the county
has not decreased. Some say it
has increased. Suppose it is about
the same, there has been no gain,
but a distinct loss, in morality. In
addition to the immortality of drink
ing, there is the crime of bootleg
ging. He who sells, or even gives
away a bottle of beer, is a Grim
inal in the eyes of the law. Such
men are legion throughout the coun-
ty, and yet they are not criminal
and in most cases they are not i'm
moral. The condition breeds con-
tempt for the law, disrespect for
the government and indignation al
the temperance cause. 1t accom-
plishes nothing. In fact, it defeats
its own ends. The attempt to in
still virtue by legislation in the
hearts of the people has ever been
failure, and it will continue to be
failure until human nature Is
greatly changed.
In business way the opinion oil
the business men of the county
should carry weight We venture
the assertion that 80 per cent of tht
business men of the county arr
against the present system, and tha
rs per cent of the business men O.
Caldwell are opposed to it. The!
are in the position to know. Thei
opinion is worth more than the opin
ion of all the cranks in the county
on such matters. They do the bust
ness, and they are against a DIR!
county so long as the county is sur
rounded by saloon counties. On
tario and Boise have reaped the re
wards of Canyon county's mistake
These business men, in most instan
ces, do not use liquors themselves
and they are opposed to their use
However, when they see the use un
interrupted and business going gu
of the county, they naturally look t.
the business side of the question
1t is reasonable that they should

NJ G0EY HAD AN ACCIDENT
Local Aviator Lost Out in Battle With
the Wind ct LangdOn Friday
Evening.

A strong wind was the cause of a
bad accident at Langdon on Friday
evening when Thomas Mccoy, the
Grand Forks aviator, when endeavor-
ing to rise into the air in his biplane
was carried by a strong gust of wind
into collision with barn and the ma
chine was badly wrecked although Nc
Goey escaped without injury.
Owing to the crowded condition of
the fair grounds at Langdon, the ma
chine was taken into corn field out
side Of the grounds for the ascension.
The rise was made perfectly but when
maneuvering and trying to get farther
up into the air a side gust of wind
veered the machine towards q barn
and in spite Of McGoey's efforts the
machine struck the structure break
ing several Of the ribs and uprights.
The parts however will be replaced
and the machine is expected to arrive
in the city this evening, when repairs
will be made. Messrs. Mccoy and
Kenworthy are expected to arrive
home this evening with the broken
machine.
