an article in the New Time, to the
effect that | write editorials for the

vations of THE New Time Method" !"
| believe it to have been wholly con-
jured up from the brain of the editor

further that | have nothing whatever
to do with either writing nor shaping

OF the Republican, and that | write

These notices state that the question

the meeting, which is set for |: 80 D.
m, Monday, April Is. Keen interest
is sLoNn in the matter of the elec

cate in the person OF Mrs. Ella

The Republican believes that the

unlairness hitherto existing and
lloNe to lie step in the direction
If giving the south siders the relief
for which they have so long striyen.

Taft Does Things.

According to the opinion OF Repre-

the New England states are solid for
President Taft, because, as he puts II,
he does things" In few sentences
Ar Roberts gives his views as fol-
i0ws
When the administration of Presi-
dent Taft Is reviewed In the calm
light of history, 1t will be found to
have been one of the great periods Of
accomplishment of the history OF this
country. Not only has he inaugu-
rated and carried through many valu-
be principles, but he has seen to It
hat promises and hopes held out BY
ais predecessor have been accomplish

ENGLAND ON ROOSEVELT REDl
VlVUS
VlVUS
Daily Mail Thinks Roosevelt Is a
Back Number.

The English press, as a rule, does
not expect Mr. Roosevelt to move into
the White House next spring. In a
country like England he might be a
great party leader, occupying the post
OF prime minister from time to time
with 10 question of second, third, or
fourth term, but Ameri "a is not T.
gland, and those British observers
reason With that fact we'll in view.
He may, of course, prove an excep-
tion to all rules, as some of his enc
mics have found out by bitter expert
ence; his exhuberant youth and ener.
gy separate him from the general
run OF retired presidents and make
1t possible for such a nature to keep
out OF the fight and meekly seclude
himself in the quiet of an editorial
office. But as a matter of precedent
Mr. Roosevelt's nomination in No
vember is doomed to- failure, we are
reminded.
Says the London Daily Mail:
1T would seem that Mr.. Roose-
yelt's day as popular idol is over.
Yet his friends show no signs of dis
couragement. The newspapers, they
say, no longer represent popular feel
ing. When the people are heard
from it will be different story. If
Mr.. Roosevelt should succeed in win
ming the Republican nomination from
Mr.. Taft, he will establish a new
precedent in American politics for
Lever in the last fifty years has a
President desiring denomination been
rejected as candidate by the national
convention.
ITO break this precedent Mr.. Roose-
yelt has two chances: one is im the
movement for direct choice of candi-
date by the people; the other chance
is the hitherto unparalleled Roosevelt
luck"
The London Daily News thinks that
Mr.. Roosevelt presidential record
as we'll as his attitude toward Presi-
dent Taft have passed fatal SEN
tence upon him:
Mr.. Roosevelt has commenced his
candidature for the nomination by
explaining that when im 1904 he said
Under no circumstances will | accept
another nomination., he meant anoth-
er consecutive nomination. Nobody
read that into it until this moment,
and the subtle qualification comes
strangely from the apostle of virile
direcmess in the very hour of direct
ing an assault upon the legal subtle
ties OF the judges. However, the
main thing is that Mr.. Roosevelt is
after the Republican nomination. He
is not likely to get it. The American
press lis almost solid against him. BY
a common impulse it has branded
him as a wouldbe Napoleon, and the
brand will lose him many State in
democratic America which has no
stomach for autocrats

INDUCEMENT OFFERED FOR
GOOD CORN GROWN

With the idea Of furthering The
corn industry of southern Idaho ant
the contiguous farming country, tht
Gem State Rural and Live STOCK
Journal, of Caldwell, Idaho, an
nouIced a contest for the best acre
of corn raised in this territory in its
April number, while full details of tn,
contest with several articles special
ly prepared ON the growing of good
corn will appear in the May number
Some $25000 will be offered in
prizes, ard already two have been
secured, one $4,000 two-roW corn
planter, and one $500 one-row
corn planter. The implement prizes
will be supplemented by liberal cash
prizes. The contest Is divided into
two divisions, one for men, the priz
es going to the man raising the larg
est quantity per acre, while the 9th
er contest is for boys under the age
CT Is years, for the best 20 hills OF
corn.
The idea of the management of tht
Gem State Rural-Journal is not only
to make this contest of interest to
those taking part in it, but to make
it of educational value and with this
in view, each contestant will be re-
quired to furnish the Gem State
Rural-Journal with from 10 to Is
ears of his product, from which an
exhibit will be arranged for the va
rious fairs this fall and for other
opportunities when there is a chance
to assist the industry in Idaho.
No conditions are stipulated re.
garding seed and fertilizer, it being
intended that the contest be of edu-
cational value. After the completion
of the contest the data will be care
fully gathered and published in the
Gem State Rural-Journal in order
that the results of others may be of
benefit to a great number.
For those that may care to raise
more than an acre of corn, stipulated
in the contest the Gem State Rural
journal has ascerrained that the
Caldwell Milling & Elevator Co., of
Caldwell, Idaho, will buy all Of the
corn, the concern being an extensive
manufacturer of corn meal. In fact
under the present production of corn
in this country, which the manage
ment of the Gem State Rural-Journal
believe to be highly favorable to the
raising of good corn, this one con-
Germ is forced to buy many car loads
from the corn belt states each year
to supply the demand for corn meal.
This contest is open to all, and
there is no necessity of your being a
subscriber to- the Gem State Rural
Journal to participate. The rules
will be published in full in the May
number of that paper, but there is
nothing to hinder your getting busy
now, select an acre, your seed, and
enter the contest. 1t may mean that
you are rendering an assistance to
what may become one of the greatest
industries of Idaho.

THANKSGIVING
AT MT. L0RETTO
More Than 1900 at Dinner
at Institution.

The annual Thanksgiving dinner
at the Mission of the Immaculate
Virgin, Mt. Loretto, Thursday, was
one of the most elaborate affairs that
has been held at that institution in
many a day. Rev. Mallick j. Fitz-
patrick who is in charge of the mis-
sion, was ably assisted by Rev.
Father Doyle and Rev. Father Pelli-
u in supervising the dinner. With
the aid of the sisters, who saw that
all in their charge received a share
of the good things, the dinner was
a success. This year there were
more than 5000 pounds of turkey,
several barrels of cranberries, many
punches of celery, bushels of nuts,
and a large quantity of candy to 60
around, besides other things that go
to make up a good DINNER of this
kind. The 1900 inmates of the In
stitution, besides many of their form
er boys who came down by special
train at this time, were well provid-
ed for. The boys famous band and
drum corps of the institution furn-
isned the music.
Because of the weather there was
no football or other games outside
in the afternoon.

An Extensive Shave.

When Salmon P. Chase was a school
boy at Worthington, O.. he was one day
left at home with orders to kill and
dress a pig while Bishop Chase and
most Of the older members Of the fam
lily were gone In telling Of this expert
ence he wrote In an OLD letter:
81 had M trouble in catching and
slaughtering a fat young porker. Ihad
the tub Of water all ready for plung1ng
him In. preparatory to taking of his
bristles. Unfortunately, however, the
water was too hot, or perhaps when I
soused the pig I kept him In too long.
At any rate, when I undertook to re-
NOV the bristles l couldn't start one
Of them. They were set! But that pig
had to be dressed. I b~ethought me Of
my cousins razor-a new one, just pur-
chased by that spruce young clergy
nan. No sooner said than done! l got
the razor and shaved the pig from tail
to snout."
Phis is undoubtedly Of the most
extensive SLAVES on record.
