HENRY RINES
TO BE SPEAKER
Mora Man Wins In Three Cornered
Fight For Control OF House
OF Representatives.
ALL FACTIONS SATISFIED.
Prediction Freely Made That New
Man Will Make Excellent
Officer.
ALL FACTIONS SATISFIED.

Henry Rines, an editor of Mora,
will be the next speaker of the house
of representatives in this state.
This decision was reached when P.
H. McGarry of Walker and Garfield
w. Brown of Glencoe withdrew from
the contest.
Sure He Will Be Fair.
Mr. Rines is classed with the pro-
gressives and his record justifies this
classification but he is not prejudiced
and it is freely predicted in ST. Paul
and out that he will give everyone
fair deal and name committees sat
isfactory to the best interests of the
state as whole.
Says Election Is Certain.
Following the withdrawal of his op-
ponents Mr.. Rines issued this state
ment:
1.-THE action of the eight Republi-
can members of the Ramsey county
delegation in pledging their support
to me for speaker has undoubtedly
settled the speakership contest.
"Sixty-eight Republicans are now
pledged, without qualification, to sup
port me, giving complete control of
not only the Republican caucus, but
of the entire house.
'In addition to those pledged there
are ten other Republicans who are
friendly to my candidacy, but who
have not as yet signed a formal
pledge.
Not A Personal Victory.
This victory is not personal one.
1t was made possible through the
loyal and unselfish support of my
friends who desired my selection as
speaker, not for personal reasons,
but because we stood for certain prin-
ciples which the people of this state
are demanding shall be enacted into
laws, and because we stand for re-

forms in legislative procedure.
Made No Promises.

"The speakership fight has been
won without making single pledge
or promise, except the promise that
the house will be organized along
clean lines and solely in the interests
of the people.
Old Order Passing.
Having been able to win the fight
under these conditions is extremely
gratifying to me. It demonstrates
that the old order of things is pass
ing away in this state and that it is
no longer necessary to barter away
committee appointments or patronage
plums in order to be speaker of the
house"

be improved and made to produce
greater crops and needs manure; and
farmers need greater profits which
careful stock raising viii alone in
sure.
Raise Live Stock.
Gas the result of most thoughtful
study Of the live stock situation. this
is our opinion addressed to every corn
belt farmer:
'Get into the stock business-there
was never a better time! Talk to your
banker-he will help you to start.
There are no better loans than cat
tie loans. Don't worry about the mar
kets-the man who loses is the specu-
lator. Feed your stock, ship when it
is ready to market-be generous to
the earth which yields you her har-
vest and a sure and rich reward will
be yours"

TAKE HIM OUT
BREAKS PITCHERS HEART

Take him outs" is. the dirge
which has always broken the hearts
of pitchers and which always viii
break the hearts of pitchers. The
pitcher grins, but that repeated cry
grinds his nerves. already strung out
to the limit.
A pitcher is frequently beaten, not
because he loses his grip. not because
of any physical let-down, but be-
of those three foolish words.
very often yelled by the thoughtless
fans of the home town.
Why can certain pitchers always
beat certain teams and look like
'bushers" before other teams? Why
does Brooklyn find Chicago easier
than New York? Why do the
Yankees wallOp DETROIT and curl up
against Cleveland?
It is the psychology Of baseball,

SOCIALISM ON TRIAL.

The question of whether an alien
who is a socialist is eligible to citi-
zenship in the United States is now
expected to come before the national
senate, through an effort to impeach
Judge Oldham of Seattle~-who re-
voked the citizenship papers of
Leonard Oleson, because he is a So
cialist. Should the Judge who thus
dared to proclaim his belief that
socialist foreigners are not entitled
to citizenship be brought before the
bar Of the senate, the principles Of
socialism themselves will be placed
on trial.
Judge Oldham declared that a So
cialist could not be a loyal citizen Of
this country. If he be impeached,
he will have to prove that his stand
was correct, or be condemned to lose
his seat on the federal bench. This
may be a crucial point in the history
Of socialism in the United States.

CITY MARKET STALLS
49, BRING RECORD PRICES

Denver, Colo, June All but
nine of the 23S stalls at the mu-
nicipal market have been disposed
Of for the season at auction. The bid
ding was the most spirited at any of
the annual sales, and the prices
brought for stalls was the best in
the history Of the market.
This market is situated along the
bank of Cherry creek. between West
Colfax avenue and Champa street,
and is operated by the city. The
stalls are used by growers of pro-
duce and commission men to display
their goods, which are sold at both
wholesale and retail. The market
season opens May 1 and lasts for
about six months, and the stalls are
rented at 50 much per month to the
highest bidder for each stall, at the
annual auction. Stalls brought this
year from So to SO per month, or an
average of about 1925 per month.
The price paid is based on the To-
cation of the stall. After paying
the salaries of the market master
and his assistant the receipts from
the rentals go into the city general
fund. The market Is considerable
of a moneymaker for the city and
il is an important distributing pont
for fresh vegetables, fruit ana other
produce from the country.

NOT A HERO, AT A

j. Bruce Ismay, president Of the
company which owned the Inflated
steamship Titanic, who saved him
self when the ship sank, can scarce
ly be said to be alive and happy.
Alive he is, It's true, but, with the
whole world asking: why did you
a yourself, while leaving hun
dreds to perish, who had entrusted
their lives to your care?" he must
indeed be a most unhappy man.
What he did perhaps many an
other man in his place might have
done. Self preservation is indeed a
powerful INSTINCT. Perhaps Ismay
did nothing wrong in the real sense
of the word, but he has earned the
scorn OF a vast number of his fellow
men. And, whatever else may be
said Of him, Ismay is at least not OF
the stuff that heroes are made of.

He likes money a good deal, 50 he

The 18TH of June draws near and,
contrary to its usual custom, the
republican party still continues TO
be divided. Generally, no matter how
widely the party may have been torn
apart in the campaign for the nomin-
alton, the party has been able to get
together by the time Of the national
convention, and in the subsequent
fight pesent a. unbroken front to
the enemy. In the present instance,
however, the hatred and rancor Of
the fight between the two leading
candidates for the G.. 0. p. nominal
ton seems to have SO embittered the
opposing factions. as to make it al
most impossible for them TO harmon
ize in the coming convention. Still,
it remains to be seen what will be
the result.

Meridian's Big Business.

The Oregon Short Line cash
freight receipts in Meridian for
the month of April, 1912, are ap-
proximately $500 greater than for
the same month year ago. Dur
ing the month of April just closed
there were shipped from the O. s.
L. station at Meridian about 600,-
600 pounds of freight in the shape
of hay, oats, potatoes. and some
live stock. During the same month
there were shipped over the Ore
gon Short Line into Meridian
about 100000 pounds of freight in
the shape of agricultural imple-
ments, coal, lime and the effects of
several immigrants, several new
families having located in the Me-
ridian vicinity during the past
month. This would indicate more
prosperous conditions at Meridian
than prevailed here year ago.
Eight hundred tons of baled
alfalfa are being shipped from the
o. s. L. statious at Meridian and
Beatty, to Missouri river points in
cluding Omaha and Kansas City,
where hay is short and is bringing
a big price.
A car load of potatoes was ship
ped in April from Meridian to
Denver. There was big shortage
in the potatoe crop in 1911 in Col
orado, whereas Idaho had big po-
tato crop. During the past six
months many cars of potatoes have
been shipped from Idaho points to
Colorado. Capital News.

Electric Railway Work.

This week the railroad graders
are working full time on the new
Boise Valley line between Merid-
ian and Nampa. Contractor Gossi
has use for more men and teams.
That the culverts are to be of a
substantial nature is evidenced
from the fact that car of cement
was received for the road at Me-
ridian Tuesday.
The grading crew are doing a
lot of work at the cut and fill on
the A. R. Stalker place, three
miles west of Meridian.
A substantial fence is being put
all along the line, and is appreci-

A Matter of Regret.

The result of the $4,000 bond
election Tuesday was a deep dis
appointment to many who had
hoped that new quarters would be
provided for the school children
this fall. The vote was 212, and
Of this number l40 were in favor
and Y against the prop ,sition.
It thus lacked two votes to have
the necessary two-thirds to carry.
Twice a majority of the citizens
have asked that bonds be voted,
and the former election was lost
by II votes, and this by smaller
number.
The school board express a deep
disappointment and state that
there will be a serious handicap in
taking care of the scholars that
will ask to attend school this fall.
The directors of District 33 state
that they cannot accommodate
high school pupils in either of the
school buildings as all the room
will be required for the grades. 1t
seems to be up to the rural high
school district to hunt quarters for
themselves. This can only be done
by renting vacant rooms around
town.
The Times believes those who
voted against the bonds Tuesday
made a serious mistake, as
it means that no new quarters will
be provided for year at least. AS
far as higher taxes is concerned,
this action can only result in di-
dect tax being levied to meet the
temporary needs, and this tax will
be higher than the amount of the
interest on the bond issue.
Besides, the sentiment as ex-
pressed by those who twice voted
down the plan to provide addition
al quarters, is discouraging to
those who are endeavoring to pro-
vide high school in the Meridian
district that will attract and keep
our students at home. The action
of Tuesday is practically saying to
all those over the eighth grade
that they must seek other schools
in Boise or elsewhere-if they
wish to pursue the studies found
in an up-to-d date town school, and
that Notwithstanding that the dis
trict has an assessed value of ST.
100000 we are too poor and tax
oppressed to provide quarters for
those who wish to advance beyond
readin, ritin and rithmetic.
