Dickens-Strickland.

Thursday, the 21st of March, when
the Vernal Equinox marks the equal
ity OF day and night and when Sprin
steps in with Joy and hope. vas a fit
ting wedding day for young manhood
and womanhood to declare their
equality and to enter into a common
Joy and fortune. Mr.. Clarence A.
Dickens and Miss Alta r. Strick-
land, both of Bruneau, were united
in marriage, at seven o'clock ON the
eve of the 21st, Rev. C. E. Mason Of
ficiating, at the Congregational par
sonage, the ring ceremony being
used. Miss Florence Dickens of Bru-
neau, sister of the bridegroom, was
the only attendant.
It is a pleasant incident to note
that brother Of the bride and a
sister Of the bridegroom, Mr.. and Mrs
Joe G. Strickland, were married at
the same place three years ago last
January.
The bride made very pretty ap-
pearance, quiet, bright and gracious
in manner. The bridegroom is ma
tive Of Iowa, enterprising and of gen.
tlemanly address. He has had a
ranch in Tyndall for several years.
After a weeks stay at Tyndall Mr..
and Mrs. Dickens will 60 to Grass
q ranch. Grassmere is a new and
promising town and offers good op-
portunities for this worthy couple.
The best wishes of their many friend
follow them.

would cost the taxpayers of this coun-
try not less than $5,OO0,00o immedi-
ately.
The hysteria occasioned by these
conditions Is now passing away and
the foremost fact staring the voters In
the face are the progressive and def
mite policies of President Taft and the
certainty of an immediate improve
ment in business conditions all over
the country following his denomination
and reelection This fact is of vital
interest to all classes of citizens, espe
cially when they are confronted with
the alternative of a change in admin
istration, change In policies and
continuation of business depression
and general unrest,
In estimating the probabilities of
President Taft's denomination and re-
election 1t is necessary to recur only
to recent history. The president car
ried every northern state in 1908. Be-
tween the election of that year and
1910 occurred the tariff legislation
known as the Payne tariff law. 1t Is
a well known maxim of politics that
that party which revises the tariff Is
defeated at the next election and the
only exception to the rule in recent
years was the passage of the Dingley
law, which was followed so closely by
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war as to bury the tariff issue In a
wave of patriotic enthusiasm. The
more recent bye-elections In the big
Republican states east of the Missis-
sippi river, notably in New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, have shown
return Of Republicans to the fold
and a restoration of the old-time Re-
publican majorities, which justifies the
prediction that they will be safely In
the Taft column In November That
they will so unanimously support any
other Republican candidate, particular
ly if the third term issue is injected In.
to the fight, is denied by the best in
formed leaders In those states
AS to the nomination there is no
longer the least doubt that President
Taft will have majority of the dele
gates both from the north and the
south New England will be practical
ly if not entirely, solid for him. he
will have sweeping victories In New
York, Pennsylvania and the other
middle Atlantic states Ohio has never
yet failed to support favorite-son
candidate for president. Indiana, ILL.,
nois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Kan
sas Nebraska, South Dakota and Okla
homa Of the middle western states will
all have their quota of Taft delegates
In the convention, four of them having
already instructed delegates In some
districts for the president. The
southern states will be almost unani-
nous in their support of the president,
while in Utah, Montana, Idaho, Colora-
do, Wyoming, Arizona and the Pacific
coast states there Is every assurance
of solid Taft delegations. Present in
dications point only to a scattering op
position to President Taft's ronomina-
tion

CITIZENS DIDN'T
LIKE THE IDEA
PROPOSITION TO BUY TRlANGU.
LAR TRACT DOES NOT
MEET WITH FAVOR

The school election held last Mon
day was a decided victory for the
opponents to the purchasing Of the
triangular tract adjoining the school
ground which the school board wish
ed to buy for vocational training.
Owing to the fact that the notice
had been read only by the very few
who favored the proposition, very lit
tie concern had been occasioned un-
til the old reliable Republican call
ed attention to the undesirable fea-
lures OF the transaction, with the
result that the vote stood: Al In fav-
or to 1856 against. The very light
vote cast was, no doubt, due to the
tact that the notice did not reach
the people.

Old Soldier Returns

An old friend, whom we esteem 1t

mate of the Soldiers Home at Boise.
He has just returned from the home
at Sowtelle, near Los Angeles, Calf
where he had spent the time inter
vening betwixt the holiday season of
1911 and the present. Mr.. Dickens
was for four years one of the north
ern legionaries during the great Civ
II war, after the close of which he
came west, and in all the Indian up
risings OF the past in Idaho and Ore
gon among the first to arm and vol
unteer for service In protection Of the
white race, rendering worthy and eff
ficient service in its behalf. Now, at
the age of nearly four-score years, br I
ken In health and body, this splendid
old soldier of the Republic is an

Taft for Peace.

1t was only by the exercise Of rare
discretion and tact that war was
averted with Mexico nearly year ago
Had President Taft yielded to the de-
mands of some of the "Jingoes" of the
country the United States might easily
have been plunged into conflict with
its neighbor over fancied wrongs
Without permitting the rights of
American citizens to suffer in any re-
spect, Mr.. Taft handled a ticklish
diplomatic situation with such good
Judgment that trouble was averted and
the friendly relations with Mexico
were undisturbed
