private gallery in st. Petersburg, accord
ing to a report published in Russian

THE NAMPA BURGLARS.

Before the building of the interur
ban line to Boise there were citizens
who freely predicted the most dire
results as far as the commerce OF
Caldwell was concerned. The line
was built nevertheless, and instead OF
failing in business, there has been
steady and decidedly healthy
growth. This would seem to entirely
disprove the pessimistic principle in
volved.
But, as one of the great modern
philosophers has so aptly remarked
one can never tell. There has but
lately been completed an interurban
line to our sister, Nampa. Last week
some bad, bold, and misled men bur-
glarized three of the mercantile en-
poriums OF Nampa. They were able
by opening the three safes to round
up eight cents, according to the Nam
pa Leader-Herald. The citizens of
Caldwell will undoubtedly feel deeply
grleved if the new line has injured our
sister city to such an extent as this
and besides. it is unfortunate that pes
simistic principles should receive the
least corroborative evidence.
Then there is the sympathy that
VIII probably be by some people doled
out to the hungry burglars. and in
this way comendable enterprise may
continue to be misdirected.
viewed in any light we are sorry it
happened.

THE THIRD PARTY.

No one appears to know exactly
what "Progressivism" really means
but among the obscurities and per-
picking generalities of its doctrine one
may gather an idea that it would have
the people rule, by means of direct
selection and election of public Off
GERS. and refer legislation and other
public policies directly to them for
determination.
This is a popular doctrine. 1t fiat
tiers the people by inferring that they
are better informed on questions of
public import than are men who make
these same questions matter of close
study and tedious research. The best
informed men readily recognize the
fallacy of such doctrine. as applied to
themselves; their reason and exper-
fence convinces them that apart from
their own sphere, they are not so we'll
qualified to decide on proposed legis-
lation as are men who can give the
time, thought, investigation and delib-
Grafton so necessary to the sane and
careful working out of many public
questions.
The leaders of the proposed Third
Party know this as we'll as anybody
and proof has come from the very
fountainhead of the movement. Col
onel Roosevelt in his call for nation
al convention of boilers, states that
there will be only half as many dele
gates as in the major conventions.
This because, he declares, his conven-
ton is to be "deliberative" BODY,

OUR RAILROAD DEATH ROLL.

While Our country is having such
terrible railroad fatalities, they seem
to get along in Europe with very few
serious accidents. Perhaps this would
be considered terribly unprogressiye
in the United States.
In many ways one would think that
railroad travelling would be more baz-
ardous in Europe. The rolling stock
is very much lighter than ours. If
subjected to the bumps and strains
OF American railroading, it would be
reduced to kindling wood very much
quicker.
There are two reasons for orr had
railroad record. one of which the
American people are not to blame for
and one of which is the result of ma.
tional temperament.
Distances in this country are so
much greater. that hastier and flimsier

which appeared in last Sundays pa
per.
1t is not necessary for The Tribune
to discuss Mr.. Morrison's connection
with the murderers of former Gov
ernor Steunenberg. The matter has
now received all the publicity neces-
sary. Mr.. Morrison was formerly a
resident of Canyon county, and has a
great many sincere friends here. He
has miserably failed to satisfactorily
explain his action, and his friends
would much rather he had remained
silent. His effort to escape culpabili-
ty by hiding behind the skirts of wo-
man has merely placed him in juxta-
position with the man whose hand
placed the deadly bomb. Harry Or
chard-both have now received pub
lie expression of friendship.
1t is true that no matter how helm
Gus an offence, man may repent and
grow a larger and better man in ratio
to the sincerity of his repentance. Yet
if Mr.. Morrison cannot offer better
excuse than any he has yet brought
forward, he is guilty of that which
makes it exceedingly unwise for him
to ask for the highest honor the state
can give; for 10 matter how his
friends may condone his action, in the
exercise of the right of franchise this
feeling cannot enter.
Mr.. Morrison will fail of nomina-
ton.

BUSINESS AND PUSH.

The seller always has to take the
initiative. The time has gone by
when he could sit down in his store
and wait for possible customers to
drift along, read his sign, look in his
store windows and come in with the
vague hope that they may find what
they want. People no longer buy
goods that way.
Any business which is moving along
in routine sort of way, on the mo-
mentum of past success, can be enor-
mously increased by going out after
new trade.
People do not stick to one store
with the loyalty of our fathers. They
are unuder no obligation to buy any
where, they often like to change
around from place to place. One may
disapprove of this changeability, but
it is human nature, and good business
men adapt themselves to it.
This makes it very easy thing to
build up new trade for the man who
has the goods and will let the people
know that he has them. Here comes
in the power of advertising. For one
person who starts out for a certain
place for thing he has had there be-
fore, there are a dozen who will go
somewhere else, provided they are
shown convincingly through advertis-
ing that the new place is giving bet
ter values.

provide transportation. Perhaps this
could not have been avoided.
But when it comes down to Ameri-

to make the same time on single
track railroads incompletely equipped
that can be made on highly safeguard
ed lines.

WHAT is THE MATTER WITH
THE DEMOCRATIC PARITY"

In view of the situation this year
it will be of interest to many of our
readers to know the opinion of the
Democratic party held by one of the
great thinkers of this country, Col.
Bob Ingersoll.
Col. Ingersoll was asked what is
the matter with the Democratic par
ty" and he had a very we'll defined
idea on the subject. This was his an
swer:
What is the matter with the Dem
ocratic party? l will tell you, my
friend. The Democratic party was
born under the planets that were in
opposition. 1t lives in the objective
case. Like mule, it has no pride of
ancestry; no hope of posterity. 1t
never originates anything. 1t shines
by borrowed light. 1t has never been
united in honest wedlock to a princi-
pie, but lived for years in open adul-
terry with harlot called slavery; lived
with her until she died of corruption
and was buried amid the sobs and
groans of her paramount.
"The atmosphere that surrounds
Democracy is full of noxious vapors
that breed moral pestilence and
death. The sun never shines through
it; vice reeks in it's shadows and cor
ruption grows lusty under its influ-
ence. Springs of purity are never
found in Democracy. Its waters are
torpid, lifeless, covered with the scum
with which stagnant pools and wave
less waters always offend the eyes
of men. The soil which Democracy
has cultivated has failed to yield har
vests of value to the nation, but has
given crops of worthless weeds and
briars. Democracy has no love of
country; believes in states instead of
nation; drives loyalty from it's doors
and welcomes treason to its habita-
tons; holds the deeds of our sailors
as naught; weeps over the lost cause ;
hates the blue and loves the gray;
stabs loyalty in the back; binds up
the wounds of treason and speaks
words of hope and comfort to its de-
voices; applauds when helpless blacks
are stricken down in the south, and
caresses the hands red with innocent
blood; denies the right of American
citizens to make homes for them
selvesinthesouth ;justi6esthemanfiBk S
selves in the south; justifes the man
that shoots them down or drives them
out.
Democracy is curse to the land,
the source Of our bitterest woes; the
haven where vice finds friends and
crime its apologists and defenders.
Democracy is original sin let loose to
rend and destroy; it is the spirit of
evil filling the swine of the land, the
incarnation of unholiness; the child
of the devil; its home should be in
that outer darkness where there is
weeping and wailing and crashing of
teeth. Such family pictures, my
friend, what the matter is with the
Democratic party"

Association Receiving Letters

About Local Show

The Western Kennel Association is
in receipt of letter of inquiry concern
ing the October dog show on every
mail. These letters, while mostly from
points within the state and Montana
and Minnesota, are also being receiv-
ed from all over the country. Today
a letter was received from Pennsyl
vania, and yesterday one was received
from Texas.
The premium list will be ready to
be mailed in a few days, and list
of names is being prepared to whom
these lists will be sent. The Kennel
Club wishes all the local dogs possible
entered. Local classes have been pro-
vided in many cases Entry blanks
can be obtained from the secretary.
From all indications the dog show
promises to be one Of the big shows
of its kind in the Northwest this year.
A dog show circuit has been formed,
consisting of Lacrosse, Milwaukee,
Minneapolis, Des Moines, Sioux Falls
and Bismarck. 1t is hoped everyone
Will boost for big show this fall.
