When Governor Wilson said at Car
negie Hall, Il don't want to be the
ruler of the people; l want to be the
spokesman of the people," the great
audience cheered, and then cheered
and cheered again. He had
uttered the most intimate word of
that democratic faith that binds him
to the electorate.
In Wilson the democracy of Thorn
as Jefferson revives and breathes
again. Wilson is thorough.
He refuses to believe that some men
are born saddled and bridled, and
others booted and spurred.
Democratic government, according
to Wilson, is not an elective despot-
ism, tempered by a time-limit. 1t is
the organized energy and intelligence
of the whole people.
Wilson insists that this campaign
is a life-and-death struggle for real
democracy-thatw we stand at the part
ing of the ways. He insists that Taft
and Roosevelt both draw toward an
undemocratic kind of governments
government that assumes to take care

men are behind 1t. He abhors the
kind of business that is fiatulent and
dropsical with fraudulent finance.
Mr.. Wilson said in Pittsburgh, that
some of these small men should be
forcibly secluded, so that they may
have leisure and quiet to think larger
thoughts. This, too. was true word
Of the spokesman.
The regulation of competition, for
which Mr.. Wilson contends, means
that a sharp distinction should be
made between two very different
kinds of competition. 1t is all right
that private persons should compete
with each other for power to serve
the public; it is all wrong that they
should compete with each other for
power to tax the public.
Governor Wilson is speaking a Ian
guage familiar to the American PEG,
pie when he reminds US that the fluent
and on-going life of democracy de,
ponds upon the ceaseless competition
of all individuals to excel in the serv,
ice of the commonwealth.

Columbian Club Taking an
Active Interest in City
Beautiful Movement-Ad-
dress Is Given.

Civics have taken an important
place in the club life, of Boise ever
since the early history of the Co
lumbar club, and in that one line
more has been accomplished in the
past in the identifying of the city
than has perhaps been done by any
other one power. Large results which
stand as monuments today to the
splendid efforts put forth in the in
FAINT years of the Columbian club by
women who thought and planned care
fully encourage newer members to en-
deavors in various other lines of civic
duty.
The civic department of the club
today, is experimenting with satisfac-'
tory returns in the needs Of the mu-
| nicipality which grow in demand as a
! city grows in population and area,
and the vacant lot and good lawn con-
test, dandelion day, the potato grow
ing contest and other like matters
will be considered during the year. 1t
was demonstrated by the civic depart
ment this year that one particular va
cant lot OF 5Ox122 feet produced IA
tons Of potatoes, a very remarkable
result. The department hopes to en-
| list the cooperation Of the local i'm
provement committee Of the CONNER
cial club in its work this year. The
department is also planning a party
on December 2 and st. Patrick's
party on March II, the proceeds to be
applied to a children's playground.

fruit Waste. GREAT
ALL over THE STATE

Moscow, Nov. 4.-"Every year thou
sands of tons of fruit go to waste in
Idaho which can be turned to a go ID
profit" says Professor c. c. Vincent
of the College of Agriculture. Ere
quently the market is glutted and good
prices cannot be obtained; 1t Is diff
cult for many ranchers to get their
fruit to a market; and always culis
and imperfect fruit are left on hand.
Eve have installed a small canning
plant at the university and are DEM
onstrating that canning is most
profitable method Of marketing fruit.
For instance, we bought peaches on
the open market for 40 cents a crate
and from one crate produced IL cans
which retail at from rs to So cents
can Even II the producer were to
obtain only half this amount at whole
sale, the profit would still be much
greater than under the plan of mar
keting the fruit while fresh. Cherries
plums, pears, berries and fruits Of al
kinds and also vegetables, such al
corn, beans, peas, tomatoes and pump
kin, can be handled in this way. AS
have already said, the grower dispose:
of not only the first class fruit. bu'
also culls and defective fruit which
would otherwise go to waste
The apparatus is inexpensive ant
easy to operate. The cans containing
the fruit are placed in a steam-tigh
receptacle, submitted to a high tenn
perature, and then sealed. The plan
may be set up in the open air. From
four to eight people are required t.
run 1t, according to it's size. The cos
of a complete plant ranges from 81
to 5000. The small one has capacit,
of one to two thousand cans day. tn
largest one from five to ten thousand
all depending upon the skill of the op
orators. Cans cost from two and
half to three cents each. The exac
cost Of operating the plant has no
yet been determined, but is Sigh
The experiment has progressed fla
enough, however, to show increase
profit in this method of marketing.
