About all one hears now-a-days Is
discussion along political lines a. to the
merits OF tine prngn~siNes' and stand
pattcrs' ON the North Side We have
these two distinct class,s, who may bc
spoken nf in AN agricultural, instead OF Il
political scnsr Among the settlers on
this tract are those who have been salts
fled Ia conlinc their efforts to working
small portion of their holdings, looking
forward only to time when they can
sell ont at a profit. On the other hand Is
t. found tine progressive farmer who has
rNcrtcd every effort in bringing his en-
tire holdings under Il state ol cultivation.
Among this latter class We find Mr.
William Bennng who has his Si-acrc
tract near Appleton all under high
state of cultivation M. Bcnning came
here from Chicago in the fall OF 1905
and though credited with being lefty
farmer the result Of his efforts as dem
ulstratcd By visit to his farm are sIili-
crnt to carsc some oi thc old time 'prac-
teal farmers To- set up and take notice.

MIR. and Mrs. W. c. Warren. who live
about miles southeast OF Jerome, had
AN experience one day last week. which
they dn not care L. soon repeat. Mrs.
Warren had allowed their baby, bright
little fellow oi about three years of age,
Ia PLAY outside the house while she at
tended Ia her household duties About
: o'clnck. not hearing the baby at it,
play. she stepped nut and seeing nothing
nf him she called her husband and to-
gcthcr they hastily searched the imme-
diate vicinity hut without avail. The
alarm WAS AT once given and all the res
idents turned ont L. search the hrlsl
covered land. The country was thor
oughly searched ior miles around and a
. a. clock that night the distracted par
cntS received the clad tidings that thci
bahy WAS AT the north Blue Lakes t"l
house. unframed. How the little fellow
ever got that lar in safety will prohahl.
never he known, as the distance Is ahou

The views ni the Chicago Land show
and tine various scenes ui actnal farming
protraycd 10y moving pictures presented
under the direction oi Geo. /. Stevens
on Monday evening proved very EN-.
inyahle and instructive entertainment.
Actual photographic views i the exhibits
of the NarnnS states at the land show,
gave some idea ol the immensely ol this
exhibition tn those who have not had the
pleasure oi witnessing the original. The
feature most Interesting tn the farmers.
however was the views showing the pro
sr,ss made in farming methods, from the
crooked stick pillow drawn 10y AN OK. up

SAY GOVERNOR
WANTS A TOGA

BOISE, Nov. Ex-Governor Hawley
will be appointed to fill the unexpired
term in the United States senate of
the late Senator Hepburn until such
time as the legislature elects a SEN
ator to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of the former senior senat-
or from this state, providing the
plans agreed upon today by the dem
ocrats do not miscarry.
There have been many kilograms
received at the capital urging the
governor to take the senatorship and
local democrats have been busy in
fuencing Governor Hawley to re-
sign his position and allow L. H.
Sweetser, lieutenant governor, to take
the governorship and appoint the
governor United States senator. Re-
publicans as well as democrats are
urging the governor to take this step
and it was practically decided today
that unless strong influences inter
fere Governor Hawley would be Uni
ted States senator until the legisla-
-ure meets in January.

CLEANUP new JERSEY
BEFORE INAUGURATION

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. Ex-Governor
Wilson will aid in a cleanup" cam
paign in this state before he assumes
the presidents chair.
So much was made known this
morning when the governor motored
in from Princeton to meet with the
leaders in the movement at confer
ence at the capitol building.
Since before Governor Wilson's nom
ination at Baltimore plans have been
under way to clean out the vice rings
and political cabals which infest sew
eral of the most important cities of
the state. The governor has been in
hearty sympathy with the movement.
1t is understood that this is one of
the principal reasons he will not re-
sign the office of governor until after
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1912-11-12

the session of the legislature which
convenes the first of the year.
At that time remedial legislation
which is being proposed by the clean
up movement will come before the
Legislature and Governor Wilson will
in all likelihood lead in the fight for
its passage.
Two years ago when the legislature
met Governor Wilson forced through
the legislation promised in his plat
form by going to the constituencies of
the recalcitrant legislators and fore
ing them through public sentiment to
make good.
1t is believed the conference today
was over similar plans for the next
session of the legislature.

PLAN TO SIEzE
GRAND OLD PARTY

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia report
from Iowa that Senators Cummins
and Kenyon of that state and Cover
nor Hadley of Missouri had entered
into movement for the reorganiza-
ton Of the republican party along
progressive lines, was the basis of
much comment here today
The only progressive senators in
the city were Senators Dixon Of Mon
tana, who managed Theodore RoOse-
velt's campaign, and Senator Works
of California, who refused to support
either Roosevelt or Taft. Senator
Dixon was inclined to attach little
Importance to the movement and
Senator Works to favor it.
What can they do in view of the
fact that we took four million votes
away from the party?" Senator Dix
on asked. He refused to discuss the
question of the affiliation of progress
sives in the senate with either the re-
publicans or the democrats, but said
it was the purpose of the progressive
party to continue it's independent
course in the nation.
Senator Works warmly approved
the Cummins-H adley idea.
"If it is going to live the republic
an party will have to change front"
he said. "The reactionary or con-
sentative leaders will have to give
way to the progressives. The result

Held After Terms Expire.


COLUMBUS, O.. Nov. 2.-Discovery
was made today that four penitenti-
airy prisoners because they were in
sane and transferred from the states
prison to the state hospital, have
been unlawfully held for years after
their prison sentences had expired.
John H. Whaler, sent to the peni-
Tertiary in 1S45, has been confined
33 years after his term expired.
L. B. Chichester, foreigner, sentenc-
ed to the penitentiary for arson, has

100000 IS AMOUNT
OF WILSON'S PATRONAGE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Upwards
of thirty millions of dollars will be
the money value of the patronage thai
will be at the disposal of President
elect Wilson when he comes into the
White House.
This represents an army of office
seekers that will aggregate about
1000. These two facts more than
any other thing indicate the terrific
pressure that will be brought to bear
upon the White House and the I'M
ceasing hours of toll and labor that
are now before the new chief execu-
tive, without regard to questions of
public policy and legislation along the
lines of the party pledges and the pub
lie utterances of the candidate.
How Other Presidents Acted.
The offices named in the accompany
ing table are not protected by the
civil service. They are at the be-
stowal of the president, and the de-
mand for their immediate transfer
from incumbents to democratic as
pirants may be insistent By a stroke
of the pen many more could be re-
moved from the shelter of the civil
service
President Mckinley, who succeeded
Cleveland, found so many republicans
clamoring for the offices from which
for four years they had been elected,
that he made many exceptions and in
great measure, under pressure, mega
lived the force of the civil service law.
When Cleveland succeeded Harrison
he went to the other extreme and de-
clined to violate, either the letter or
spirit of that law and but few demo- |
cratic officials were appointed, except |
heads, who were res
DonsibIe either as chief or subordin- ,
ate officials, for the policy of the adj
How Mr.. Wilson will
act upon the return to power of his
party and the long absence from the
public crib is a question that remains
o be answered.
