MR. MARTIN ANSWERED.

Hon. George H. Martin. Progressive
candidate for governor. attacks Gov
ernor Hawley as a member Of the state
land board for voting against the sale
OF $4,000 acres Of land to the Pooatch
Lumber company, while stating that
IL he owned the land personally he
would have been glad to sell ut the
price offered. The question Is easily
answered by the record. IN Governor
Hawley's report to the land board after
a personal examination Of the lands
by which some 5000 acres Of agricul-
tural lands were exempted from the
sale, the company having applied for
the purchase of $4,000 acres. the gov
ernor says:
LAS preliminary I would state that
in my Judgment TT is NOT A PROP
Err GOVERNMENTAL POLICY TO
PERMIT ANY CORPORATION OR
ANY INDIVIDUAL TO OBTAIN THE
FEE SIMPLE TITLE TO LARGE
AREAS OF LAND BECAUSE NO MO-
NOPOLY COULD BE SO OPPRES-
SIVE TO THE PEOPLE IN THE FU-
TURE AS THE MONOPOLY OF
LAND. l realize, however, that In
carrying on extensive numbering OPP
erations it becomes absolutely neces-
sary for the owners to acquire great
areas Of timber lands for only by Sc
doing can they carry on their opera
tions successfully for many years and
thus be properly reimbursed for the
immense capital required as a prelimi-
nary expense in acquiring lands, build
ing mills, etc. for their future opera
lions. While the Potlatch company
| is at the present time the owner In
it's own right OF over twenty-eigh'
hundred square miles Of timber lands
| in the section have mentioned, anc
the acquisition OF title to the lands In
question would make only COM
| paratively small increase In proportion
to their present vast holdings, still
| do not believe It good policy to par
with the ultimate title even undel
such circumstances and even undel
| the opinion hold as tosthe major part
Of the lands in question not being 1T
ted for real agricultural purposes"

kfSSLER OUT FOR
STATE TICKET Of
THE THIRD PARTY
Letter Is Result Of State
ment Made by J. H. Peter
erson- Praises Martin and
States His Position.

Harry T.. Kesser. who was one OF
the many mentioned in recent letter
OF J. II. Peterson as progressive Re-
publicans who are not supporting the
Progressive state ticket, is out in a
letter today to State Chairman Clip
son OF the Progressive committee, de-
daring that he is for G. H. Martin, the
Progressive nominee for governor, and
moreover. declares that had it not
been for the excellent state ticket nom-
mated by that party. thousands of
voters In the state would bavc been
disfranclfised. Mr. Kessler declares he
will support Wilson for president, the
Progressive state ticket for state Of
ficers and the Republican Legislative
ticket in order to secure the return Of
Senator Borah to the United States
senate. His letter is as follows
September &c, 1912.
Mr.. j. II. Gipson,
State Chairman Progressive Party,
Boise. Idaho.
Dear Sir: have yours of yester-
day referring to the mention made to
me by Mr.. Peterson in his published
letter of day or two ago and asking
me to define my position in regard to
state affairs.
My Individual political convictions
are OF little Importance but have no
hesitancy in stating them to you
frankly. | believe firmly In the freest
rule of the people and propose to sup
port those candidates regardless OF
party, that I believe are most free
from all alliances with the special in
terests that thrive upon governmental
favor am therefore not ready to
support for president either the idol OF
your party or the leader heading that
party SO ably praised by Mr.. Peterson
The recent stand and past deeds OF
Woodrow Wilson 10 my mind stamps
him as the apostle of surest and fastest
progress. On the other hand ! do moi
believe that any party or it's candidates
have monopoly on virtue on po-
litical wisdom and think that any
movement that raises itself to the dig
nifty of strong political party has an
excuse for existence. In my opinion
the Progressive state ticket at least al
70 several of it's candidates stand.

A Hot Day.

1t was one hot day toward the last of
July, shortly after the beginning of the
dog days, that, while riding from Dem
yer to Omaha on one of our fast flyers,
my attention was called to a rather
tleshy woman with four children. re.
member very plainly the first day. The
children amused themselves by looking
at the scenery but the next morning
when we looked upon the plains the
heat affected the children more than the
rest of the travellers. The mother and
the youngest, who was four old, sat in
one seat, while the other three, the old
est of whom was eleven and was sup
posed to watch his bunch, sat directly
in front. The mother had carefully
selected this seat for the big three so
she could watch them and hold their
hats in her lap that they might not
bangle them out of the window and
accidentally let them go. In front of
the big three were two men, one rather
slender, the other short. heavyset
fellow with very bald head over which
at intervals he gently passed his hand.
1t was about half past eleven when
the sun was burning down very hot and
we were sweating like a roof on rainy
day, that the youngest boy saw fly
light on the bald head Being merry
though hot he turned and said very
excitedly.
"Oh! mamma, look at the fly on that
mans head"
1T looks like fly on adesert island :"
cried the oldest.
The mother, hardly able to control her
laughter, replied, Hush! boys don't
talk so loud.
The day was very still and whisper
could be heard all over the car, when
the nine year old boy, just at the age
of question, piped, Mamma why don't
hair grow on that mans head?"
Hush! Jack, !" was the answer.
But, mamma, replied Jack, getting
very hot and impatient, look, there
isn't a hair on the top of his head and
that fly keeps a coming back as quick
as he shakesit off. Don'tit look funny"

Trials Of the Railway Coach.

One day about two years ago near the
first of August l started for Creston.
When changed cars at Atlantic | sat
right behind man, and boy about six
years old. He seemed to enjoy the trip
very much, because he was always in
mischief, but nothing came of it till we
reached Red Oak and had boarded the
flyer for Creston. He sat quiet for a
while then he started again. Finally
he got too noisy so his father made him
sit still. Then he opened the window
and stuck his head out. His father
told him he would lose his hat but he
didnt pay any attention so he grabbed
it and put it behind his back and told
him he had lost it. At this the little
fellow started 70 cry so his father told
him he would whistle and it would
come back. The he said, Look out
the window He did so, and his
father whistled and put the hat on his
head. For about half an hour the little
lad kept still then he went to the other
end of the car. In about ten minutes
he came back and said, Papa won Z
you please whistle again."
His father asked, "Why, my SOM"
The lad answered "Oh, | threw my hat
out of the window and want it again.

In the English Department.
In a Railroad Coach.

One close hot, July day, last summer,
as | was going on through train from
Denver to Chicago, my attention was
called TO woman with four small
children who got on the train at small
town. Before they had been with US an
hour, the smallest, baby of two years
was asleep The other three gave their
mother lively time. While the oldest
a boy of nine, who was very fat for 50
young child, tried to wake the baby
by tickling it with feather, the other
two, blue-eyed girl of four and a
ruddy checked healthy looking boy OF
five, were running up and down the
aisle trying to attract the mothers at
tention from the older boys tricks.
The mother was constantly obliged to
speak little harshly to the children, as
they were much too noisy
