EDITOR GOT RICH FARMING.

d. L. Bailey, former editor Of the
Idaho Odd Fellow, published at Boise
became affiliated with the lure OF
the farm, and in trying to crafty
his desires he became the owner Of
q piece Of land, team and gears,
an incubator, some Plymouth Rock
egglets. Jersey Cow, q Milk buck
ct and other things too numerous to
mention. y
He developed a good muscle, COM
muned wiz nature, purified politics
(theoretically,) developed such an ap
petite that he could digest a cork,
and became so fat from eating fried
chicken, Jersey cream, home made
butter and garden sass, that when
he dropped cleyis pin he couldn't
pick 1t up but had to lie down at q
distance and roll to the place.
He writes that he has rented the
farm and moved back to Boise to
enjoy the thought of being pluto
cratic land owner. The only disap-
pointment about oit is that he can't
sit on thes curbstone and see himself

patrons how righteous he is, how
people have been imposing upon him

ID no sport anyway, and that he has
overlooked getting at the facts IN
many things he writes upon.
We suggest that he sober up and
make some inquiries to find out
where the boundaries Of his ward

say that he lives on South Shilling

3. M. Snyder who lives just north
Of Snake River Bridge, has named his
farm Shady Lane. 1t is at the north
end of a pretty lane with trees on
both sides, and Is cool and the road
is damp and hard when other places
are hot and dusty. The timber along
the fence row is growing into good
values.
Miss Chico Harris is looking for a
name for the Harris farm In Bannock
county about fvc miles out from POI
catello on the north side of the Short
Line track extending to American
Falls. The farm is on a slight ele-

Is just opposite the point of the noun

A BUSINESS NEED HERE.

Bingham county and other terri,
tory in the southeast need represent
alton on the state boards. We need
1t because such matters as the equal
ization Of taxes between counties,
the leasing and other disposition OF
state lands, and many other matters
of vital Importance come before these
boards that are made up of the gov
ernor the attorney general and the
secretary of state, and in case of the
land board includes also the state
auditor and the superintendent of
public instruction.
The board Of equalization has great
power in tax matters, and the people
of Bingham county have long been
clamoring for a representative on the
board, but have neglected to take
proper steps at the right time to get
one.
In the present primary campaign,
leading men in the southeast are
anxious to secure the nomination Of
j. H. Peterson for attorney general
because Bingham and Bannock are
considered his home counties. His
interests and sympathies are with
the southeast, and it is a simple
business proposition for the south
east to give him their solid support.
He has been for the past six years
engaged as assistant attorney gen.
eral, and could take up the work or
rather continue the work without
any considerable change in the Of

American Falls Press:-The CANT
dacy OF Judge Alfred Bulge for the
supreme court is being received with
evidence of marked favor. He has
been on the district bench for ten
years, during which time he has
proved his eminent fitness. He has
never been reversed in a criminal
case, and his reversals in civil cases
have been remarkably few. He is
lifted temperamently for the position
as well as legal learning and expert
ence. No better selection could be
made, and those who are in a posi-
ton to appreciate the great benefit
Of clean and able state court Of
last resort are numbered among his
warmest supporters. N
Measured by any standard, he
meets all requirements. He is ment-
ally and morally sound. He is at
the zenith of vigorous manhood, able
to meet any demands that may be
made upon him. His life, public and
private, practically all Of which he
has passed in Idaho, is without re-
proach. He is clear headed, calm
and dispassionate, firm without
being austere, and ever careful that
the rights of all shall have protect
ion The vote which he will receive
at the primaries will be great COM
pliment to him, and deserved tri-
butte to his worth.

from the time they go to the train
until they get home again, and Will

pie who have had such work done IN
past years to see how they look upon
the work. after years Of use.

SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED

The Blackfoot Fruit Growers and
Farmers Association was organized
to handle the fruits that have been
largely wasted, or lost by shipping
to markets where commission men
have taken advantage. There is
thought to be enough fruits here to
keep some firm busy handling them
and the supplies needed for shipping
them, and the whole population
should give this firm chance to
build up their business for the rea-
son that it will be the means Of
turning much fruit into money that
has heretofore been lost.

TEST THE PRIMARY

1t is being charged that represen-
tative government is failure be-
cause some people take more interest
in pushing their representation than
do others, and it is being said that
the direct primary will fail because
people will not leave their work long
enough in summer to go to the polls
and vote; that they do not as rule
prize their rights OF sovereignty
enough to set aside time to 60 to the
polls once in two years to nominate
their choice of fellow-citizen who
shall be candidates for offices Of pub
lie trust, yet they have complained
of the convention methods where the
ambitious ones who had devoted time
to organizing forces, carried a great
or measure Of strength than others
who had done less or nothing.
1t is also charged that the direct
primary gives advantage to the weak
er party, and that in practice the
weaker party does not vote its full
strength for its own candidates, but
by concentrating a small percentage
of the votes upon its best candidates,
and swinging the rest to the weakest
candidate on the enemy's ticket, they
can nominate the best Of their own
men and the worst Of the enemy's
and then elect their own ticket at the
regular election. .s.
This, X practiced. would keep par
ties alternating in power for all time,
or for 90 long, as good men could be
found to strive for nomination on
what 10 considered the stronger tick
ct before the primaries, and this
would not BE- very long. 81
These are two vital questions con-
fronting the people OF Idaho to-day.
Will people use the instrument placed
IN their hands to protect themselves
from bosses? VIII they defeat the
intent Of that instrument. the direct
primary by STOPPING to unfair met

men by thousands are watching this
matter and IL the men nominated at

tn are not found to be a fair ex-
preston of the choice Of majorities
in the parties they represent, we
predict prompt repeal of the law at
the next session Of the legislature.
This feature of the law is on trial

ment two years ago, but men had
patience and said, "Give it a fair
trial before passing final judgment"
And this year will be fair trial. 1t

wishes of the people and drives good
men out OF politics besides, there is
nothing that can save it from repeal
