Are you saving a little for

cent of men are dependent
upon their daily earnings,
or on their children, for su b.

tical period; when the sbn

son begins to change his
mind, and to conclude he
doesn't know, as much as he
thought. HeNthen considers
the father a man of fair judg-
ment. Between 35 and &c
the son realizes that life is a
pretty serious matter; he be-
gins to realize death and the
fickleness of friends. Forty.

JOHN j, JONES, Secretary.
Protect the Country Printer.

The fact that one man was
arrested for violating the
state law prohibiting county
official from purchasing print
ing outside of the state, when
it can be procured at home,
is insufficient cause to repeal
that law. For the one who
violates the law there are
perhaps "a hundred who are
content to practice patron
izing home industry when
inducements from outside
firms are received.
We pass laws to employ
white labor, only, on public
improvements, taxpayers on
road work; we refrain from
putting our prison inhabit-
ants to work for fear that il
will rob citizens of employ
ment, and in many other ways
we protect home people and
home industries. Why should
the county commissioners in
convention assembled pass
resolutions to put the country
printers in competition with
large printing houses in other
states who have no interests
here? These same commits
sioners depend upon the sup
port of the country press for
their positions aud are
among the first to look for
favors when election time
comes around. Certainly the
men who do nearly all of the
free boosting for the state
! and the communities should
kreceiye some consideration at
the hands. of public officials.

Fred I. Dubois to Lead
the Clark Forces in Idaho
Especial correspondencel

A'DRCOAeAA
Boise, Jan. l5-Despite his declara-
tons that he has permanently retired
from politics, declaration made sew
eral times in public print both in Boise
and elsewhere in the state, it is just
dawning upon the democrats of Idaho
that former senator Fred T. Dubois
never played shrewder game in his
life than that he is now playing to place
him absolutely at the head of the demo-
cratic organization in this state.
The true situation did not begin to
dawn upon the Idaho democracy, many
of whom had been inclined to take the
f! willy senator at his word and who were
happy in the belief that he had perman-
entity retired to his farm near Black
foot to close his days in peace and quiet
ude far removed from any scenes of
political turmoil and strife, until few
days ago when Judge K l. Perky re-
turned from an extended trip through
i the east, with the announcement that
The had met the former senator in WASH
ington, and with the further informa-
zion that Senator Dubois had been plac-
ed at the head of the organizat ton which
ie expected to make Speaker Clark the
democratic nominee for president.
Coupled with the information inno-
Gently given to Judge Perky was the
further statement that former Senator
Frank J. Cannon of Utah, inseparable
associate and political crony of Senator
Dubois, is waging hot campaign for
the purpose of landing Governor Wilson
of New Jersey in the presidential chair
TO those who do not know the close
relationship existing between these two
political waits, these two announce
mehts indicated but little. but to those
who know something of their methods
and their tactics, it meant much.
This is the situation; Senator Dubois
and Senator Cannon have wisely chosen
their several paths which, however,
viii both lead to the same end--the
and of Cannon in Utah and Colorado.
with both holding high positions in the
next national administration, should
deIAocracy win.
To Frank Cannon has been allotted
the championship of Governor Wilson,
SUPPOSED to be favorite among the
democrats of the nation and therefore
the most likely to win of all those mem
toned as likely nominees for the presi-
dency.
10 Fred T. Dubois has been assigned
the leadership of the Champ Clark
movement. thus placing him at the very
! tipltop pinnacle shonld this, apparently
the most likely of dark horse candi-
dates win.
Should Wilson win, Cannon can be
depended upon to pull his friend Dubois
albng with him intp ascendency. Should
Clark regarded by them as the most
likely second chan5e. and known to be
regarded by Dubois as the first most
likely candidate, win the nomination
and election, Dubois can elevate with
himself his friend Frank Cannon. and
thus they have figured it ont that they
Ore playing ten TO nne shot, to nse n
gambling phrase, to place themselves

boomers to send him there. Cannon
expects to o TO the national convention
from Colorado. and he is expecting the
Denver News and the Wilson advocates,
backed by the Clark friends. to send
him there. Dubois will be elected ma
tional committeeman from Idaho and
Cannon will be elebted national com

the two they will have lost all their

Politicians are watching. not without
admiration, the results of this move,
which is regarded as one of the shrewd-
est that has come from this Idaho poll
tician known for his shrewdness in for
mer years. 1t is regarded as indicating
that Dubois enforced quietude and rest
for the last four years have served to
sharpen anew his political wits, aud
that far from subsiding with the sui :

believe that he has accepted, he never
was more,active in his life, and. poss-

dream of regained supremacy in the
democratic ranks.
