Gov. Judson Harmon is making
excellent progress toward the
democratic nomination for pres
ident these days. Among other
wise moves he attached himself
to the western Governors Spe-
cial" and made friends of the en-
tire bunch Of governors on their
tour Of the east. While Champ

for the Missouri delegation after
it was pledged to the ex-governor
when Clark was assisted to the
speakership; his inexcusable
break in declaring for the annex
alton of Canada, and then repeat
ing it after his friends had tried
to explain that it was all a joke,
that Champ never meant it; and
his vacillating position between
conservatism and progressivism
since his election to the speaker
ship, which is being so severely
censured by Mr.. Bryan in his
Commoner, all tends to discount
his chances for the nomination.
AT the same time Gov. Wilson
has placed himself in q very poor
light before the thinking public
and the voter with the genuine
independent American spirit, by
having applied for a $4,000 q
year pension from the Carnegie
fund. With the two most prom.
inent and pronounced democratic
progressive opponents thus queer
ing themselves with the people,
Mr.. Harmon, as the conservative
candidate, is making good head
way, and he and his friends are
proportionately cheerful. Where

The Lewiston Tribune is dis
posed to criticize the new tax
law recommended by Gov. Haw-
ley for passage at the special
session which he has called.
Among other things the Tribune
says: Any scheme of revenue
reform that does not look to the
reduction of the public burden
is bound to prove faulty and un-
satisfactory, if not a failure. In
stead of reduction, however, we
find an increase, in that an ex-
pensive and potential tax commits
sion is to be saddled upon the
taxpayers at the very outset. If
a scientific revenue system, as
purported, is in reality being de-
vised for this state, it cannot well
overlook the fact of the percent
age of charges now levied against
the tax moneys, from the period
of authorization to that of final
outgo, which may be said to rep
resent wastage or loss Of effici-
ency, SO far as public utility is
concerned. Out Of the tax money
is to be paid the assessors de-
partment, then the collectors de-
partment, then the custodian or
treasurer, the auditing depart
ment and various other grades of
supervision, before the service
for which the tax was laid is
actually performed. There is but
a small part of the original sum
left to do the work with after
the tax has been handled in the
various processes, yet now as a
means of procuring scientific
management we are told we must
have still another board, another
set Of middlemen's profits to
come out of the taxpayer"

The greatest crowd that has
ever gathered in the new l. o.
0. F. opera house, assembled
there last Monday night to hear
the Williams Jubilee Singers,
which appeared here for the first
time under the auspices of the
Junior Aid Society Of the Pres
byterian church. As near a. can
be figured out, there were $50
people listened to the excellent
entertainment which this popular
musical aggregation gave, and
the universal verdict was that
they all received their money g
worth. The prices were IS and
Soc, over half Of the admissions
being at the former price. The
receipts were over $500, the en-
tertainment netting the enter
prising ladies something over
$500. The capacity of the opera
house was not great enough to
accommodate the crowd, and quite
a number were turned away.
There was q dance given at
the Schmadeka hall after the en-
tertainment which was well at
tended.

CONGRESSMAN FRENCH rs
PLEASED.

Congressman Burton L. French
who as a progressive, has always
shown himself to be level headed
and well balanced in his conclu-
sions on legislation and public
matters in general, and still car
ryIng with him the courage Of his
convictions SO strongly that he
has never hesitated to take issue
with administration recommends
lions and policies when occasion
arose, has the following favorable
comment to make upon the pres
ldents recent wool message.
1.-The message is brief, but it
is the clearest and most salts
factory pronouncement upon
Schedule K that has been made
by President Taft.
1.-THE president calls attention
to numerous features in connec-
ton with such legislation as will
take the place of Schedule X
which congress should not fail to
provide for.
In the first place, the pres
ident calls attention to the pres
ent method Of assessing the duty
which is upon wool in the grease.
This method has worked an in
justice upon the grower Of wool
and also upon the consumer. and
it has constituted most serious
means of enabling the manufac-
turer to juggle the prices to the
injury OF both the producer and
consumer.
"The president is right and we
should enact law that will place
a duty upon secured wool. Wool
in the grease may be 25 per cent
wool and the rest dirt, or it may
be rs per cnt wool. 1t has no
definite value; secured wool,
however, is definite.
Il am glad that the president
approves of a duty in specific
terms rather than ad valorem for
raw wool. This plan, if adopted,
will give the grower of wool in
the United States protection
when he needs it.
"The presidents position will
meet with the approval of the
country, and if congress will act
in line with his suggestions the
wool industry will continue as a
great industry for many years
within the United States and the
criticism that has arisen on ac-
count of present inequalities, will
be removed"

A NEW FIELD.

The rice fields are calling for
the Idaho National Harvester.
Rice Is hard to thresh-present
methods eat up in cost the bigger
part of the profits-growers of
rice have sought for years to re-
duce their harvest expense-but
until now this has not been pos
sible.
Watching the revolution work
ed by the Idaho in the harvesting
OF grain the big saving in money,
in labor, in worry afforded rails
ers by this wonderful machine
the rice growers are anxious to
adapt the Idaho to their needs
and to try it out. One of the
more extensive planters Of the
Arkansas rice fields has shipped
q quantity Of the bundled grain
to Moscow for the manufacturers
to conduct test with.
The Idaho has successfully cut
and threshed oats, wheat, barley,
field peas, Kaffir corn, or In
dian maize as it is some times
known and as a stationary
thresher has done perfect work in
the threshing Of beans. There is
not doubt but that it will prove
successful in the handling Of the
rice growers problems, thereby
opening to it's makers new and
unlimited field. Ga
The big increase in demand in
this new field will send the COM
pany's stock jumping upward
and those, who have been delay
ing the purchase Of stock should
avail thehselves of the opportun-
ity to get in before the raise.
North Idaho should be proud
Of this industry - should lend
every encouragement to this hom
business that is making our Sec
ton known and talked of all over
the civilized world.

Owen M. Van Duyn, assistan,

Owen M. Van Duyn, assistant
attorney general for Idaho has
come out as an active candidate
for the republican nomination for
attorney general of the state. Mr..
Van Duyn has served the state in
MS present capacity for two year
with still another year Of his ap-
pointment to run. He is said to
be an able attorney with twelve
years active practice, having
served as county attorney Of Can
yon county for three consecutive
terms, during which period he
met with unusual success in the
prosecution of criminal cases. It
was at this time that Gov. Steun-
enberg was assassinated at Cald-
well, and the work of running
down the criminals and securing
an indictment against Meyer,
Haywood, Pettibone and Orchard
fell upon the shoulders Of Pros
ecutor Van Duyn. This he sue
cessfully carried through, and
later when the cases were trans
ferred to Ada county for trial, he
followed them in the capacity Of
prosecutor, continuing with the
cases TO their close. The Boise
Statesman concludes a lengthy
article on Mr.. VanDuyn's candi-
dacy as follows: "As a candi-
date for the office of attorney
general Mr.. Van Duyn is deserv-
ing of the careful and serious
consideration Of the voters of
his party. His valuable services,
his clean record and his present
high standing in his profession
and in his party bespeak for him
a future of great usefulness to
his state and great credit for him
self"

WOODROW WILSON'S APPLI-
CATION FOR A PENSION.

There are acts OF even reason
ably smart and good men, COM
mitted under stress of circum-
stances or temporary mental alb
CREATION, about which it is the
part of wisdom to draw the man
tie of charity. 1t is left to the
Lewiston Tribune to do an ex-
ceptionally neat job of this kind
in the case of DR.. Woodrow Will
son democratic presidential can
didate, and his attempt to get
himself placed upon the pension
roll Of the Carnegie Founda-
ton" fund. DIR. Wilson failed to
impress the management of the
Foundation with the justice of
his claim for $1,000 year from
the fund, and consequently was
turned down. The Tribune after
speaking of the fund and the
purposes of Mr.. Carnagie in es-
tablishing the same, continuing
says:
1t was also thought by DR..
Wilson to afford the means of a
comfortable pension Of 100000
whereby he might be relieved of
the cares of breadwinning and
give all of his time to politics
and to regulating the affairs of
those who are still compelled to
engage in breadwinning. Fortu-
nately for politics DIR. Wilson was
unsuccessful in his application, for
if the bread-and-but problem
continues to confront him it may
alter his view as to what is best
for mankind. The man who has
to work, to buy and sell and bull.
and struggle and achieve cannot
long see things through the eyes
of the dreamer or the pendant but
must, first and last face the day s
cares on his own resources and
take his own chances among his
fellows. Such men are not going
to be mislead long, probably, and
the sooner all get back to the
hard facts of life the better for
all concerned, including DIR. Will
son.
