BUT WE DIDN'T

1t has been persistently reported
that our statement of last week about
the bill for $500 for stenographer's
work and for typewriting the testi-
mony in the investigation at St. An
thony was not correct and that II
should have read $4,000, that II
was case of placing the dot in the
wrong place, etc.. but we have to in
form our readers that what we said
about that matter was printed just
as we intended it, and the writer in
formed himself before writing the
articles. When we find we have mis-
stated anything we correct it in the
next issue.
We have exercised great care in
what we have said in this campaign,
for although we are anxious to see
the Republicans win, it will be long
time before we beat the Democrats
by deliberately disappearing
things. The Republican party is
good enough to win on its record and
its merits, or take defeat and rise
again after people have tried some
thing else.

SENATOR BORAH SPOKE

Senator w. e. Borah Spoke Sat.
urday evening to large audience al
Progress Hall. He is every inch a
stateman and Of the type that works
for legislation that betters the con-
ditions Of the people who are not
doing we'll and who need only
chance, in order to better their condi-
tions.
He is the author of the Three Year
Homestead bill, the Enlarged Home
stead Act, the Child Labor Bureau,
has helped to get some of the notable
investigations made by the U. S. SEN
ate for lettering the conditions of
laboring people and for exposing cor
ruptions. His sympathies are al
ways with the under dog in the strug-
gle, and he frames legislation ac-
cordingly
He made "a happy hit near the
close of his speech when he referred
to his own candidacy for the U. s.
Senate, and said, "By the way, do you
know who my opponent is? I can't
find out, and the whole Democratic
party is unable to tell me. There's
Hawley and Nugent and Perky and
Tannahill and Moore and Clark, and
we'll the brush is full of men who
might be the one but nobody knows
they are firing at me from the
bushes but I don't know who to re-
ply to. You don't know what kind of
men they would elect if successful
nor what are his views and his prin-
ciples.'
The audience was delighted with
Mr.. Borah and his speech, and the
the convictions seem general that he
should be returned to the senate, and
that it would be very serious loss
to Idaho to fail to return him.
The way to give him our support
is to vote for the Republican legis-
lative candidates, and they will vote
for Borah's election in the legislat-
ure. P. G. Johnston and A. S.
Dickinson are pledged to support him
II elected and you can help to re-
turn him to the senate by placing an
x opposite the names on the ballot.

and in this election the differences
are chiefly those of principle, not
men. None Of the candidates on any
of the tickets are drunken men, and
none of them get drunk periodically.
But to get back again to the re-
cord of p. G.. Johnston, man who
has introduced and defended so many
bills looking to improvement and
progress, protection of children, the
Sunday Rest Law, the local Option
and Search and Seizure laws, and
who is always aggressive and sober
and thoughtful is not fit subject
for such attacks.
w. R. Jones, one of the older resi-
dents of the county and against
whom nobody says word except in
the dark, a man who as member
of the Legislature worked steadfast-
ly with the temperance forces, is not
going into the saloon business. He
was recently appointed administra-
tor of the estate of T. J. Kearney
who formerly conducted saloon in
Shelley and since the county went
dry conducted billiard hall. This
old saloon and billiard hall is part
Of the property involved in the es-
tate to be settled. and that is the bas-
is of the story that he has bought a
saloon.

JUDGE THEM YOURSELF

The character assassin is abroat
in Bingham county. He is busy stab.
bling people in the back so-to-speak
Telling things about candidates that
he would not say in their presence
and that cannot be traced up and YER
flied ..........
Among things that malicious minds
have started about candidates is the
statement that Representative P. G..
Johnston ives drunk in Pocatello a
couple of weeks ago, that he has
been in the habit of drinking before.
and that he ships in liquor and keeps
it in his home. Another story is
that w. r. Jones, Republican candi-
date for sheriff has recently purchas-
ed a saloon business and is now in
control ,.,.,.
The writer heard these things and
did not give them moments
thought, and did not suppose any
one else would who knows the men,
but much to our surprise we find
there are people swallowing the stor-
les whole who ought to know better.
This paper is not saying much in
praise of candidates, not because
they are not worthy but because we
take the view that all are worthy,

A FEW REASONS,

Why it is cheapest and best to have
your eles properly fitted by SCAR
BOROUGH.
First:-He understands what is
BEST for your eyes and will PRO-
TECT you from your own his-judg-
ment.
Second:-He sells glasses from SO
up; but if your eyes have compli-
Gated defects he will know, and will
tell you what your eyes honestly
need; for he wants your FUTURE
PATRONAGE, and will not sell you
cheap glasses and do harm to your
eyes, because he is building for the
future. He protects your eyes in
terest. A man who sells you SIS
glasses when your eyes need 30 ones
Is your eyes worst enemy, and you
may not find it out until it is too
late.
Third:-Dr. Scarborough has re-
sided permanently for the past six
years in Idaho Falls. Four other
men have come from large centers to
Idaho Falls in that time; promised
to stay; but are not there now.
Fourth:-The only man who can
afford to cheat the public is the one
going" all the time-or that stays
My short time.
Some of you know the meaning of
the above from experience. Those
of you who don't-don't play with
the worst kind of fire-your eyes are
too valuable. Be honest with your
self-protect your eyes by having
them attended RIGHT. See DIR.

ELEVENTH HOUR REPORTS

Campaign matters that are sprung
in the eleventh hour when it is too
late for people to Investigate, are
generally unworthy of notice. No
matter who they are about or what
Is the nature of the charges, it is
a safe rule to pay no attention to it
unless some valid reason appears for
its not having been brought out in
time to be discussed and verified.
1t is cowardly act to keep quiet
all through a campaign and then
start reports about candidates on the
eve of election

STRUGGLE FOR THE SENATE

The house of representatives Is
Democratic and there are only hall
dozen more Republicans than Demo
Gratis in the senate. Both political
parties are concentrating their natl.
onal efforts to capturing the senate
by electing their candidates in Ida
no, Illinois, and Colorado.
The way to- secure Republican
senators to represent Idaho is to
vote for Republicans in the legislat-
ure. In Bingham county vote for
P. G. Johnston and A. s. Dickinson.
