GRIM TRAGEDIES OF OCEAN
Many Vessels Abandoned at Sea That
Arc Constant Menace to
Navigation.

There is a grimness about the brief
news dispatch which states that the
derelict destroyer Seneca, of the Uni
ted States revenue cutter service,
weighed anchor and steamed out OF
New York harbor to search for dere-
licts of the seven-day storm which
ended recently Vessels that have been
abandoned a: sea. unless deliberately
destroyed. continue to be menace to
shipping for long period following
their abandonment. For many years
1t was customary for sea captains, on
coming into port. to report such dere-
licts as they had observed during a
voyage, and the government published
charts IN which the position Of the re-
ported derelicts was shown, in order
that sailing masters might be on their
guard against collision with them.
There was at one time some. talk of in
ternational cooperation in the task OF
clearing the sea OF these floating
ships, but nothing came Of 1t, and the
United States government finally
took the matter up on it's own account,
being for long time the only govern
ment which did so, and presumably it
occupies that position to this day. The
vessels designated as derelict destroy
ers are specially fitted out with dyna-
mite and other means of destroying
and sinking the floating menaces to
navigation, and the significance of the
departure of the Seneca lies in the
fact that the storm of last week is
supposed to have caused many wrecks
off Hatteras and along the coast OF
the Carolinas.

TO HONOR FILIPINO HERO.
Monument to Jose Rial to Be Erected
In Manila.

A monument to liberty, the work of
Herr Kissling. the well known Swiss
sculptor. will be erected In Manila to
the memory of Jose Rial, the national
hero of the Philippines.
The monument is an excellent piece
of work and the principal figure rep
resents Rial himself. The work was
completed some time ago. but the
sculptor awaited the coming of an
American commission to examine It
before starting his masterpiece on the
long voyage to the Pacific. The cost
of the undertaking. including it's trans
portation and erection In Manila. lt is

CONSERVING HOME TRADE

Conservation is watchword OF to-
day. Businesses are being made more
profitable, often times not so much BY
extending to new and untried fields
as by developing the existing and saw
ing leaks.
Similarly in the life of the trade
community. Securing a new industry
to locate here would be profitable to
our community. But if our people
can be persuaded to buy the products
of home industries, rather than pat
ronizing the industries Of some Other
town, the same result is accomplished
and with much less risk of loss.
The money is placed in circulation
here and it helps to build up our own
town, rather than helping to build
up some other town.
The man who breaches and practices
the idea of patronizing home indus
tries and enterprises is helping tc
build up his town just as surely as IL
he made it some fine gift. And II
costs nothing to talk up home In
dustries. :.
Prices of goods tend to equalize
themselves the world over. If you
get an article for less in some dis
tant department store, it is because
you have to take more pains and time
to ge it, because of the fact that the
guarantee of good value is less salts

PRESIDENT TAFTs SINCERITY

When President Taft sees a task
which he believes needs doing, he
gives little thought to its effect on his
own success as a candidate. Probably
he would be more effective if he were
more of politician But in this time
serving age, straight forward sincerity
is refreshing 1t takes broad minded
man to work that does not promise
immediate results that will be good
issues in the next election.
1t is easy enough to make fun of
the failure of the Standard Oil and
Tobacco dissolutions to reduce prices.
No one expected that they would have
any immediate effect favorable to the
consumer. All that could be hoped
was that in the future it would make
it easier for the man who is trying to
get an independent foothold. To get
a good law on the statute books, the
only possible way often is to enforce
some bad or imperfect law already ex-
listing. The preliminary work brings
few apparent results and many kicks
ad cuffs.
The ordinary politician never tack
les anything so bare of quick returns.
1t is one the fine features of Presi-
dent Taft's work, that careless of his
own personal fortunes, he has plunged
into this jungle of perplexity, emitting
road in pioneering fashion through
which one of these days we shall
emerge to more workable law.

balance of power At the primary
election upwards of 10000 votes
were cast, of which over 10000
were Republican. The primary in
dicates. if it indicates anything-of
which we are doubtful-that the
people of Idaho want Republican
administration of state affairs.
There was division in sentiment as
to whom the candidate should be,
but there was none as to what
political party he should belong to.
Now one of the candidates who,
simply because he was not the
choice of the people, comes with a
proposition to deny the people the
thing they want, i. e., a Republican
administration. He is encouraged
by other disgruntled candidates like
McCracken, McReynolds and Shaw
han. They have no purpose in the
world except to defeat their sue
cessful rivals for the nominations.
Such a condition is brought about
by the direct primary law-the
rankest fraud that was ever put up
on our statute books. The people
should give this law their earnest
consideration. 1t simply promotes
corruption in politics and rascality
among men. A wholesome disgust
exists among the people for the
present system. In their wrath they
will not long tolerate the law. II
not repealed it will swiftly pass into
desuetude and no demogogue will
ever be able to resurrect the prac-
tice. The sooner this occurs the
better. Complete dissolution Is to
be preferred, but as few men OF
character and courage LAMP in the
legislature this is hardly be ex-
pected for a few years. Misuse OF
the law will be sufficient for the
present. This will be little tough
on Clagstone ct al of the ilk, but 1t
will prove a blessing to the people.
The people cannot use Stag in
public Office, hence they cannot use
Clagstone.

VISITING SCHOOL.

You look out carefully for the ex-
terror of your boy as he sets OFT to
school in September. He must have
shiny shoes, we'll brushed hair, clean
necktie, or he would better stay at
home. But do you know anything
about what they are putting into his
head?
The old-fashioned school used to
have a throng of visitors for "exhi-
bition day." The children sang sweet
little songs about daisies, and spoke
pretty little poems about the brides.
The question whether they could keep
a cash account or write hand that a
human being could read was much in
the background.
If a parent happened into the school
on any day but the closing one, a hush
of awe spread over the little faces at
the unaccustomed sight. Teacher
ratified her papers nervously, and the
children missed.
Visitors are more common in the
modern school. But probably not
one parent out of ten manages to enter
school room once-a term.
And yet the question what they are
doing with your children is vastly
more important than what the styles
for children's coats are. But the par
ents do not seem to think so.

AN INTERESTING SCHOOL

Gathered in the great auditorium
at Chicago recently were thousands of
the foremost educators in the United
States, and significant is the attention
paid to the trend towards a higher
community life. Teachers were con-
sidered in the light of social servants"
and as such, the necessity of their
keeping in touch with every essential
Of phase of community life, was urged.
The child was to be taught not "How
to know" but "How to grow"
The movement for healtful, whole

be the most effective anti-vice, anti

Wilson said: "Have the farmers
boy and daughter live in the country
until they are l8 years old Let them
sleep in their own home, eat at their
own table, learn how to farm, and to
respect their fathers occupation. Then
you will have farmers who own the
land they till, who will be interested
in the productivity of their land. They
will not be outlaws. They will build
schools and churches that are worth

miles up the Short Line, at the head
OF which Professor French of this

But still he keeps on Flooding
Through mysteries dark and deep
Between the stiff board covers

That round about him hovers
The departing baby dreams.

Has outgrown his baby ways,
Though added charms come, maybe,
With the advent of school days.

And hard she tries to smother;
Her new pain in his new joy.

That his path may be as blest-
When mothers hands are tired
And are folded on her breast.

SOME COURAGE

In this day when the courage of all
men is in question, we mean moral
courage, it is refreshing to find man
who has the courage of Mr.. Justice
Oliver Wendall Holmes of the United
States Supreme Court. In glancing
through the Congre ssional Directory
authorized and published by the Con
gress of the United States, wherein
every man holding responsible posi-
ton is permitted to tell of his past
achievements and of his inner great
ness, we find that Mr.. Justice Holmes
admits that during the Civil War
at the battle of fredericksburg, at
Mayes Heights and on May 3rd, 1868
he was shot in the heel. The Tribune
believes that Justice Holmes is the
only man in the country who would
acknowledge being shot in the heel.

PAUL GLADSTONE SLAG-THAT's
ALL.

Paul Clagstone once arose to the
full stature of a man. The Trib-
nne together with thousands of
others Immediately assumed that in
the past he had been misjudged
and FASTENED to clear away the
prejudice created. In our haste
and enthusiasm to render unto Clag-
stone that respect which we had for
merly withheld we forgot the things
that had caused the prejudice
against the man to exist. AS you
cannot make bronze statue out of
Stag, you cannot make a man out
Of Clagstone. Both are dross, no
matter what veneer is applied. At
times GLADSTONE assumes a virtue
but 1t is pure assumption and can
not wear. For moment he stands
on his feet but Stag crumbles away
even in the sunshine.
This man appeared before the
people of Idaho as candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor. At that time he was either
a Republican or contemplate
hypocrite. AS he possesses no politi-
cal virtue we are forced to think
that even while seeking the support
of Republicans he was trying to be-
tray the party. He is nothing but
Stag; he never was anything but
Stag; and without divine interven-
ton, he will never be. anything but
Stag. Some men continually be-
moan the corruption that exists in
political parties and in their pious
hypocricy are guilty of the gross
est frauds themselves. Such are Stag
and such is Paul Clagstone. He
even has no excuse to offer. He
does not claim that The election Of
his opponent was unfair. He can
not accuse the people of Idaho of
using the steam roller. Like his
master, he wants the job and that
is all there Is to it. In his morality
anything that Roosevelt does is
right; and wrong or right he will
come as near to doing what Roose-
welt does as his mean abilities and
scant opportunities will admit.
He will have his little day and
then be gone forever. Paul Clag-
stone is of little moment. The sys-
tenn which permits the present con-
dition Of affairs to exist is worthy
the consideration Of the people OF
Idaho. They have had grated upon
them law which enables the weak,
the puny and the disgruntled to
