BORAH HERE

Last Saturday night Progress hail
was filled with an enthusiastic audi

gressives to hear Senator Borah. The
senator spoke for two hours and twen-
ty minutes on the issues of the area :
est Importance to the voters of the
United States and those who have
been asserting that the senator would
not declare, where he stood on several
political subjects, should have no
doubts on the subject at this time.
He stands fer the republican parry
from start to finish and believes that
II reforms are needed in the party
they can be made within the party and
no. through a third party. He show
ed where his opponent in the dcmocra.
tic party, Moore, did not know what
he was talking about. Borah is
man, and has proven conclusively that
he is the only candidate for the SEN
ate on any ticket worthy OF the vote
OF the people. Vote the republican
ticket and return him tc the United
States senate.

IN THE YELLOWSTONE
Katharine Ridgeway Gives Readings
In Famous Park

During the spring Of 1911 and 1912,
when Katharine Ridgeway, Of the
Ridgeway Concert Company, soon 10
appear here, was in, Yellowstone Park,
she was called on one evening to give
some of her readings in the camp near
the Upper Geyser Basin. The guide,
wko was a minister.. recognized Miss
Ridgeway, as she had once appeared
on the lyceum course at his church,
and insisted that she entertain the
parry with at least one or two of her
selections.
There were about 200 people present
from all parts of the country. Out Of
this number there were A who had
heard her before in lyceum courses
throughout America. Not only did she
give some of her readings to the de-
light of this outdoor audience but she
gave little talk at the close Of the
program on the animals of Yellow
stone Park, drawing some lessons
along lines Of humane treatment Of ami
mails, which is a favorite subject Of
hers.

Developments In the
Telephone System

Ter and mechanic in the town is at

In the harvest field means a delay of
only hours, instead of days. In case
OF sickness or accident, the doctor can
be on hand in less than half the time
formerly required, and we could cite a
hundred cases in our own experience
where lives have been saved solely be-
cause there was telephone in the
house In case Of fire or robbery. the
country dweller can summon immed:at
assistance, and if you want to hear a
real enthusiast talk, just ask the coun-
try woman who has telephone how
much 1t has done to remove her fear
OF tramps when the men folks are
away.
Then look at the social side. In
the old days visit meant an entire
suspension Of work, long drive there
and back again, tired horses, cross
children (and husbands), and the labor
involved made real task out of what
should have been a pleasure When
you have a telephone, all your neigh
bors on the line are in constant touch
with you, and visiting among the la
dies, as rule, keeps the wires hot
through the leisure hours Of the day
and evening. 1

Ghost Of Dubois Again
The ghost Of Fred T. Dubois seems
to persist in turning up also to dis

leaders. They are doing all in their
power, in the same gumshoe way, to
counteract the evil effects of Dubois
on their campaign. Listen to the fol-
lowing sent by Secretary George E.
Hill to members Of the faithful in the
section of the state:
"BoIsES Oct. 1o.-Dear Sir:
In sending out the statement yes

tion with reference to- ex-senator
Dubois in his anti-Mormcn fight
in this state during past years,
there was an error made in the
I fourth paragraph of the state

Twin Falls convention ETC.; and
the other part Of that paragraph
that reads Mr.. Gray was against

Give To Your Eyes
The Attention They Desc rye

There comes a. time when letters
blure, when lines run together,
and reading becomes difficult, es
pecially in the evening. This is
caused by the eyes not being
able to focus at the normal read
ing D distance, fourteen inches.
The vision in the distance is
as clear as ever. and this fact
leads, many to believe that
glasses are unnecessary, but
this is Just the time when the
first pair Of glasses is needed.
A continuation. without glasses
causes an undue strain on the
muscles Of the eye, and q duh
headache is the result. A per-
son gains nothing by going with
out glasses when they are need
ed, in fact they gain much by

WILLIAM R. JONES FOR SHERIFF

Billie Jones, the popular republi-
can candidate for sheriff, has been a
resident of Bingham county for about
thirty years, during which time. he
has been a property holder and re-
putable citizen.
Six years ago he was sheriff Of this
county and would have been re.elect-
ed by an overwhelming vote at the
close of his term of office, but the
law at that time prohibited sheriff
from succeeding himself.
Billie Jones was a member OF the
tenth session of the Idaho Legislature

Weep Over Wrongs Of Bull Moose
In Order TO Catch More Votes

Democratic gumshoe artists are
abroad in the land. They are on a
still hunt for Republican votes, and
they are putting bread and milk poul-
tees on the sore spots Of the Bull
Moose.
1t is doubtful If more sneaking,
guerilla, fire-in-the-rear campaign
was ever conducted in Idaho. Demo-
Gratis are not depending on the meri s
of their own cause; in fact they have
little to say about their own cause,
but they are doing all in their power
in an underhand way to stir up dis
cord in the Republican ranks They
are doing all in their power to in
crease the vote Of the third party
where they find it impossible to in
duce the dissatisfied Republicans to
vote the Democratic ticket outright.
In secret communications to select
ed voters in each county, the Demo
cratic leaders are weeping big, croco-
die tears over the wrongs heaped
upon the Bull Moose; they are curs-
ing the supreme court-for the bene-
fit Of the Bull Moose; they are espec-
tally trying I'd insert their knives un-
der the rib Of Chief Justice George
H. Stewart.
Weep for tire Poor Moose
Listen to the following from George
r. Hill, secretary of the Democratic
state committee, sent to men sup.
posed to be in position to use it to
good effect:
"BoIsE, Oct. 10.-Dear Sir:
ReIativee to the supreme court de-
cision rendered on Tuesday,
knocking the names Of the presi-
dental electors of the Roosevelt
party off the ballot in this state,
wish to say there is good chance
for an argument to the people to
the effect that the court has made
mistake, because In passing
matter Of this kind up to the
people, upon which they were
going to vote, no possible harm
could have resulted to the peo-
pie, but it might have resulted
disastrously to political party
only.
"The people are the highest
court in the state and are the
sovereign power thereof and able
to decide questions involving a
voting privilege, such az this
question was. Also, In this day
and age ct the world, when the
Initiative; referendum and recall
are 50 popular. we believe that
the people should have had
right to settle this question,
which would have given them a
larger number Of names to select
from when voting. However, we
are not taking sides in this mat
ter, because we do not want to
offend any Of the sukewarm Re-
pubiicans who might otherwise
vote with US, because II might
drive them back into their party.
