The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-12-27

While Governor James H. Hawley
was in Washington last week, 1t was
observed that he had great deal OF
strength among both Democratic and
Republican Senator'S for appointment
as Secretary of the Interior. and It Is
the opinion of those who are watch
ing the proposition closely that he is
the strongest candidate at present for
this position. In addition to being a
man OF National prominence, he pos
sesses exceptional ability and is a
Western man. The latter being a
big argument in his favor, when you
consider that the Jurisdiction Of the
Secretary of the Interior docs not ey-
tend east of the Rocky Mountains.
Only the western states are vitality
affected by this, appointment. anc
great stress is being made on this
grave mistake of previous adninis-
trations placing Eastern men il, this
position. Other candidates are Gov
ernor Norris. Montana; JOS. U. Teal,
Oregon; Josephus Daniels, North
Carolina; and Ex-Governor Adams,
Colorado
Senator Borah's reputation as a
forceful and efficient champion of
any cause in which he becomes in
terested is well established here in
the east and there are frequent de-
mands upon him to take part in
campaigns for reformed governmental
conditions Recently he was pre-
vailed upon by delegation from the
Young Republican club of New York
to assist in the coming mayoralty
fight in the effort which is to be
made to clean up that city and make
two or three speeches for them. His
first speech was at dinner in hon
or of District Attorney Whitman,
Thursday night, who it is probable
will be the candidate for mayor, and
his remarks drew much favorable
comment.
Among the Federal appointments
affecting sldahe, to be acted upon at
this session of Congress are the Re-
ceiver of the land Office at Black
foot, and postmasters of Idaho Falls,
St. Anthony, Grangeville and Paris,
While there has been considerable
controversy as to the confirming OF
Republican appointments made be-
fore March 4th, it is the general
feeling that appointments in the Re-
publican States will not receive this
opposition

STRIKE OF MINERS MAY SPREAD
TO NEVADA FROM BINGHAM

Ely, New, Sept. 24.-President Mo-
yer of the Western Federation of Mi
ners, who attended the meeting Of the
Mill and Smeltermen's union at Nc
Gill last night, is spending today at
the mines Of the company with G. r.
Miller, member Of the miners union
executive board. Lane miners union
will meet tonight. President Meyer
refuses to talk at present. It Is said
that many new members joined the
union at McGill last night. There is
much opposition to strike among the
laboring men, many Of whom contend
that the desired advance in wages can
be obtained without strike II recog-
milton of the union is not made an
issue.

DEMOCRATIC TARIFF REVISION

The fact that the Democratic ma
jority in the House of Representatives
passed certain tariff bills at the last
session is no indication Of what they
might or might not do If they gained
control of the Senate and the presi-
dency.
The passage of these bills was mere
ly an attempt to make political capi-
tai. 1t is one thing to pass bill
when you know fellow at the other
end of Pennsylvania avenue is laying
for it with big club. 1t is quite
another thing when that bill is going
to become law, and exert its power for
good or evil in every home in the
land.
The Democrats were in the position
where they could get all the credit for
the bills with those who would not
be affected by them. while the people
who would be injured by them would
never suffer any i'll consequences.
In 1893 and 1894, the Democrats had
entire control over the machinery of
government. They passed tariff bill
after their own heart. But their own
president did not like it. He called
it work of "perfidy and dishonor. -
CA the leopard change his spots, or
thd Ethiopian his skin?
Presideat Cleveland refused to sign
his own pasty's tariff bill because it
was sectional, The men who passed
it were indifferent to the appeals of
the manufacturing cities of the North
for protection enough so that their
goods could be made on American soil
But in districts that were represented
by Democrats, for some subtitle rea-
son it was decided that protection was
necessary and proper.
The Democrats made such a miser-
able mess of their tariff revision, that
the country threw off the yoke as soon
az possible, and up to date has kept
it off. How muchr better can they do
in 1913 than they did in 1898?
Since that time large manufacturing
interests have grown up in many De
mocratic districts, particularly in the
South. Does anyone think that they
will consent to the enactment of a
tariff law seriously affecting their pre-
lection?

FAREWELL TO THE HARvEYs

The Harveys. who directed the Altar
Society production of "Bobbie Blake"
have a soft spot in their heart for
Blackfoot and are generous in their
praises of the friends they made dur
ing their short stay. Mr.. Harvey was
fairly in love with the pony chorus
and made them the subject Of conver-
sation when ever the opportunity pre-
sented itself, declaring them one Of
the best pony choruses he had had the
pleasure of training during his twelve
years experience. The feeling was
mutual, however, between the chorus
and Mr.. Harvey and on the closing
night the little ladies presented the
Harveys with beautiful gold souvenir
spoon of Blackfootl Mr.. Harvey, who
is always equal to the emergency at
tempted to respond, but the love Of SO
many pretty little girls thus expressed
was too much for him. His voice was
gone, but his actions expressed full
we'll his great appreciation.
The Harveys left Friday for Poca-
tello, where they will put on another
Of their splendid plays under the aus
pices of the Catholic Church Of that
city.

eoRAA AND HIS CRITICS

Senator Borah's reply to his critics
is worthy of of place in the voters
scrapbook. It is sermon, in itself,
for the weakened individual who has
been in the habit of voting blindly for
party name, or for a party leader
without regard for his policies or his
acts. 1t is fitting rebuke for the
leader, real or imaginary, who de-
nounces as false and unworthy all be-
liefs save his own. 1t is a righteous
demand for freedom Of political
thought and political action, that will
find a quick response in the minds Of
all those who are seeking to make the
republican party the medium through
which the best interests Of the people
of the state are to be served.-Idaho

1912 CAMPAIGNING

AS the campaign approaches the
final weeks, the methods of political
solicitation grow less and less like
those of 20 years ago.
The campaign club of that period,
with it's toEch-light professions, house
illuminations, seems as remote from
1912 as the hard cider campaign of
1910. :.
And yet the older method was bas-
ed on a skillful estimate of human
nature. 1t performed the same service
for the political cause that the pink
tea does for the church organization.
Young people choose their church
affiliations much more because they
had a good time getting up "Box and
Cox in a certain society than because
they have seriously examined and pre-
fer a certain creed or ecclesiastical
system of government.
Similarly, the politicians figured that
if young man went off on marching
trips with set of good fellows, he
was apt to vote their way in Novem-
ber, even if he could not name a sim
gle article in the party creed.
A number of causes have changed
all this. First, the prohibition of cor
poration contributions and publicity of
expenses has dried up the once never
failing springs Of cash.
Second. the campaign managers see
much more direct returns frcm a poll
tical advertisement in the newspapers
than from the purchase of uniforms
and torches.
Third, the parties are all on the de-
fensive, as the result of the high cost
of living, the general disclosures of
graft, and the need for control of the
trusts. ..
Formerly all it took to set the
''boys" cheering was house with a
candle in every window.
Now, they want to know what the
candidate has done to make life lit
tie easier for the wife and the kid
lets at home.
1t gives one more faith in the fu
ture of our republic that this change
has taken place. Election by torch
light procession was the most illogica
method of government that the hui
man consciousness ever evolved. Com
pared with such a frivolous basis, thu
ancient method of drawing lots look:
comparatively good.

MARATHON Mixers ON A
BIG DAIRY FARM

On the aveage dairy farm the man
who can milk Is or 20 cows twice a
day is ranked as an excellent mixer.
Yet on a milk company's, farm in New
Jersey, 10 operators are milking $50
animals twice daily, an average of 35
COWS per mixer. Ever since modern
dairy husbandry began to approach an
intensive development the problem Of
the milk farm has been how to most
efficiently utilize the labor of tho milk
ing force between milkings. In the
winter time especially this was a hard
nut to crack:
The manager of this eastern dairy
got his mind to working overtime and
devised the plan of developing his
mixers into specialists who MIXED
for 10 hours day and performed no
other labor. He correspondent with the
managers and owners of other large
milk farms in order to obtain their
opinions concerning his new method,
and found they did not believe it woul
work. In no wise discouraged this
progressive manager put the propo
sition before his mixers and asked
them if they would be willing to test
out the plan. They enthusiastically
assented. His plan as successfully car
ried out is explained in the October
Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Advertise Your Potatoes

For a number of years this paper
has endeavored to impress upon the
farmers the benefit to be derived from
having Cards printed, with the name
and address of the producer thereon,
and put one in each sack of potatoes.
Last year large number of them
were sent out over the United States
Southeastern Idaho and especially
Bingham County has a greater acre
age of potatoes this year than ever
before. This office will print cards
etc.. at an extremely low cost. II suf
ficient orders are secured for them, an
we suggest that every farmer place
his order at once with The Twice-A
Week Optimist for what cards he car
use, this year.

BOUGHT HIS SOCKS IN SCOTLAND

Governor Wilson, is a free trader
and is so recognized by the rank and
file of his party. The truth is empha-
sized a little by the fact that he buys
his socks in Scotland.
His apparent Indifference to the con.
dition Of American laborers may be
due to his ability to get along with
out being obliged to eat bread in the
sweat of his brow.
He has been extremely fortunate in
this respect. His autocracy has been
deeply tinged with aristocracy during
his entire career as an educator and
dabbler in literature
He has neither by personal expert
ence or observation acquainted himself
with the actual struggles and needs
of the ordinary wage Garner.
During the trying times that this
country was under the blight Of free
trade in 1894, '95 and '96, Woodrow
Wilson was enjoying liberal income
that was in no degree affected by the
deplorable conditions surrounding the
labcrers in this country.
Mr.. Wilson is not to be condemned
for his good fortune. On the contrary
we should be disposed to congratulate
him, but in self interest the less for.
tunate should protect themselves
against the enforcement of his tariff
theories and policy, a trial of which
has been given more than once with
deplorable effect upon the industrial
life of this country.-Trenton Gazette

N. S. SAGE Out On Bond

The account Of the sentencing Of
N. S. Sage, given in the CapitaA News
recently, seems little premature It
now develops that County Attorney
j. e. Good, who argued the case for
the state recently in Boise, has com
PEELED the raising of Sage's bond, from
$4,000 to $4,000 pending tho re-hearing
of a petition of the defendant for a
new trial and Sage is still at liberty.
This means that he will be at liberty
sixty days longer pending the hearing.
Sage bears the distinction of being
the first banker convicted Of embez-
element in the state of Idaho.
