ANNOUNCEMENTS.
For Circuit Judge.

We are authorized to announce
HON. Il. +. EDWARDS,

Lincoln, jackson, VIM, Caldwell and

Judge Drew Announces for Circuit
Judge.

uQSS ". ~. DiSW 10 q SesiiNA
date for reelection to the office
of Judge of the Court of Appeals
from this district, and his for
NAL announcement appears else
where in this weeks paper.
He was appointed to the posi-
ton he now holds on the circuit
bench by Governor Sanders in
February, 1911, succeeding Judge
L. K. Watkins who resigned to
take up the practice of law.
Judge Edwards, who is Judge
Drew's only opponent in the
present contest, was also the only
candidate that contested the APP
pointment honors with him. At
that time Judge Edwards and his
friends made a very active fight
to secure the appointment, but
the Governor finally decided in
favor of the Webster parish can
didate.
Judge Drew gave up his posi-
ton on the district bench to ac-
cept this appointment and his
friends feel that he is at least
entitled to a full term on the cir
cult bench, the term he is now
holding being only an unexpired
one. His claims to reelection
are further strengthened by the
fact that he has made good dur
ing his short encumbency of his
present position, making the cir
cult an able and satisfactory pre-
siding judge.
Judge Drew is one of the best
known lawyers in this section of
the State. He has a long and
distinguished career both as a
lawyer and as a judge. He is
learned in the law, and has had
nearly or quite twenty years ex-
perience as a presiding judge.
He was parish Judge of Webster
parish before the Constitutional
Convention of 1879. When this
office was abolished by that con-
vention he was elected Judge of
the district then composed of
the parishes of Bossier, Bien-
vile and Webster, serving two
terms of four years each, when
he retired from the bench to
take up the practice of law. He
was a member from Webster par
ish of the Constitutional Conven-
ton of 1898. In 1904 he was
again elected District Judge and
reelected in 1898. He was with
out opposition at both of these
elections.
With his long years of expert
ence on the bench and his splen-
did attainmentS as learned and
able practitioner, Judge Drew is
eminently well qualified to fill
this high position, and there is
every good reason to be urged
why he should be his own sue
cessor at this time, especially as
he is now filling only a short UNI
expired term.
There are ten parishes in Judge
Drew's district alone, which is
only one-third of the circuit over
which he presides with his two
colleagues on the bench, and as
this court will be in session for
the next two months he will not
be able to enter actively into the
campaign for some time yet.
However, just as soon as his
court takes a vacation he hopes
to be able to see personally as
many of the voters of the dis
trict as possible. In the mean
time he submits his claims for
reelection to the people, assur-
ing them that he will appreciate

CLEAN THE SEED GRAIN

Plan now to own or rent good
tanning mill, and clean and grade
all seed grain before sowing next
spring. In section of the coun-
try where wild oats is practically the
only weed of moment, the value of
tanning mill cannot be overestimat-
ed. Stop seeding wild oat with the
seed grain and the problem will be
much more easily solved.
A mill of the gravity" type is far
superior to the old form where the
separating is done principally by the
screens. Do not understand that the
screens are not essential for they are.
What is meant is combined form.
The screens to sort and separate as to
size, the blast to further separate as
to specific gravity. The ideal seed
grain is that which Is free from foul
matter and which has been graded
to kernels of uniform size and weight.

two editorials in one. He alleges,
first. that the scheme to make Holden
governor is nothing but political dust
throwing. We find this half of his
editorial difficult to understand be-
cause it is so indefinite. 1t is not
clear what kind of dust he thinks is
being used, nor is it plain just what
the dust aforesaid is being thrown
against. But one gets a general i'm
preston, after reading and rereading
his philippe, that he fears the Holden
hackers are attempting with some un-
named, fell purpose to obscure ma
tional issues in Iowa by raising
cloud of dust over immaterial home
questions. Just why the men re-
sponsible for Holden's candidacy
should want to obscure national is
sues in this or any other way is not
stated We find it impossible to
imagine without further specifications
how the Holden movement any more
than the Clarke movement is going to
put national issues in the background
of the 1912 Iowa political campaign.
We think Mr.. Pierce should elaborate
this part of his editorial by adding
postscript or two. AS it stands, it
of an inebriated gentleman who is
hard up for argument.
But the second half of Mr.. Pierce's
editorial is clear enough. Here he
does a little expert dust throwing
himself by raking up the dead ashes
of the first of criticism that was di-
rected against Professor Holden last

RIGHTEOUSNESS is
NEEDED

The address delivered by Judge F.
S. Dietrich at Nampa on Tuesday
evening last was one of the most
forceful arguments ever put forward
in support of the contentious that
men should take an active part in
the services and management of the
Christian church. He touched upon
many features of the subject of men s
relation to the church, calling atten-
ton to the obligations they were un-
der and to the duty they owe to the
Christian religion. During his ad-
dress he took occasion to emphasize
the claim that morality rests upon
Christian precepts in Christian exper-
fence and that it cannot be main
tanned in any satisfactory degree
without adhesion to those principles.
The following paragraph illustrates
the tenor of his talk on this aspect
of his subject: eve cannot have
permanent civilization, we cannot
have an honest government, we can
not have equal opportunities, unless
there is personal righteousness"
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-02-09

This can be accomplished only by the
use of mill of the type mentioned
above.
In grading, adjust the screens so
as to remove the largest and smallest
kernels, retaining only the medium
sized ones. And you will note how
surprisingly uniform they are in size.
They are not however uniform as to
weight and if you have had wild oats
on your farm, some will be found
here. Adjust the blast so as to re-
move any chaff and light grains and
most of the wild oats will also be
removed. The result will be seed
grain, the kernels of which are strik-
ingly similar as to size and weight,
free from chaff and dust and almost
If not entirely free from wild oats.
