VAN DUYN WILL WIN IN
WALK.

1t is gratifying to the thousands OF
friends and admirers of Hon. o. M.
Van Duyn in Canyon county that his
candidacy for attorney general is
meeting with such favor. This coun-
ty takes particular pride in Mr.. Van
Duyn. Here it was that he entered
into the practice of law. Here it was
that he made his first reputation.
Three years ago when General Nc
Dougall was looking about for ca
pable assistant in his Office Van
Duyn's name was suggested and he
was offered the position. He made
good from the start. We believe that
General McDougall has never had &C.
casion to regret the choice he made.
During the past three years Mr..
Van Duyn has grown immeasurably
in the estimation of the people of Ida
no. During that time they have had
an opportunity to know him; to watch
him; to study him. The verdict is
that he is the man for the position.
1t reflects creditably upon man when
he can win the confidence of a large
constituency SO quickly.
The only opposition to date is Mr..
Peterson, who has been in the Office
of the attorney-general many years.
The announcement of his candidacy
provoked enthusiasm in not a single
county in the state. The Tribune
predicts that his nominations papers
will nver be filed. Nh. Van Duyn
will run equally strong against any
man that may be brought forward, no
matter who he is nor where he comes
from.

THE PEOPLE WANT EXECU-
TIVE ABILITY.

In speaking of the candidacy OF
Hon. John M. Haines for the Repub-
ican nomination for governor, a
number of prominent and influential
newspapers have called attention to
the fact that the taxpayers of the
state will demand business experience
and executive ability in the successful
candidate this year. 1t is pointed out
that professional men are not trained
nor educated to handle big business
enterprises and that the government
of state is nothing more nor less
than a business establishment. The
record of Governor Hawley, certainly
a most able and conscientious man, is
held up to view as the result of good
theories badly applied. A plausible
practice of government does not al
ways work out as is shown by the tax
problems of the state at the present
time.
Mr.. Haines is a successful business
man of twenty years of experience.
He has been connected with some of
the largest enterprises ever undertak-
en- in the state. 1t is a we'll known
fact that every project with which
Mr.. Haines has ever been identified
has been a financial success to him
self and associates. and has also been
of immense advantage to the state.
For illustration there is the Boise &
Interurban railway. To Mr.. Pierce
personally has gone practically the
entire credit. We have no desire to
detract from Mr.. Pierce. But to the
firm of w. E. Pierce & Co. should
have gone the credit for this magni6-
rent enterprise. In that firm Mr..
Haines 10 as prominent as Mr.. Pierce.

This cry of "let the people rule" is
an insult to the intelligence and pa

to rule there is nothing to prevent
them. They have everything in their
own hands. The law was enacted
for the purpose of enabling the people
to rule. They have the machinery.
All they have to do is to use it. If

ENCOURAGING BUSINESS
SIGNS.

Probably the most encouraging
sign in the business world is the pres
ent activity in the steel mills. The
steel trade has become to be recognize
ed as the most reliable thermometer
of the business world. Reports show
the mills running at very nearly their
full capacity in filling orders. So
great is the demand becoming that
an increase in price is announced.
Shortly the railroads are expected to
place large orders for steel cars and
locomotives to accommodate growing
traffic, and it is also anticipated that
orders for rails will be more liberal.
All of which are excellent and relia-
bic signs of national prosperity. This
is the more encouraging because it is
a presidential election year, when
there is usually period of uncertainty
and depression.
The prospects for banner crops in
Idaho are most excellent. Fruit is
reported to be heavy and the outlook
for a good market never better. This,
coupled with the electric railway con-
struction, irrigation project improve
ments and additions, renders Caldwell
and Canyon county unusually attract
i've to the prospective settler.
The wool men report fine spring
grazing and while lambs may be
somewhat light. yet everyone feels
that good wool year will be exper-
fenced.
The time to prepare for better con-
ditions is always in the present. The
activity of steel is a pretty good guar
antee that not only has the depression
reached the lowest ebb, but that the
reactionary influence is so pressing
that it cannot be held back until after
election. The man who sees ahead is
the man that reaps the richest re-
ward. Now is the time. Show your
confidence fearlessly and another will
gain an impetus from you, and the
community will swing far into the lead
when the coming wave of prosperity
sweeps upon US.

SHOWING THE FARMERS OF
MISSOURI.

The new plan for disseminating
agricultural knowledge about to be
put into practice by the board of Gu
rators of the University of Missouri
is decidedly interesting. Experts are
to be placed in different localities to
advise and instruct farmers in the
communities in which they are en-
ployed. At first only few are to be
sent out, but the number is to be
increased as interest is aroused. This
interest will be measured in a practi-
cal manner. The county Or commit
nifty to which the expert is sent must
put up rs per cent of the money nee
essary to maintain him. The balance,
Is per cent. will be subscribed by
the college. No one Is barred from
contributing to the IS per cent fund,
but the amount has to be guaranteed
by some responsible financial house.
The farmers of Missouri have found
scientific farm management beneficial
in a real dollar and cent way. At 4
meeting of farmers in Columbia one
man of the soil declared expert ad-
vice had increased his years net in
come $500. another testified he had
made $500 more than the year be-
fore-and so on.
The university curators estimate
their first years expense will run
from $1,000 to $500.

SUMNER QUARTER AT
ALBION NORMAL SCHOOL

Opens July Is and Closes August 30
With Full Summer Course.
The growing efficiency of idaho ed
ucational institutions in serving the
educational needs of the state is evil
denced by plans for summer quar-
ter which will be held at the Albion
State normal school from July IS to
August 80.
The object of this summer term is
two-fold. Through a system of double
recitation periods a student may, by
doing this summer work, gain a full
terms credit on the regular normal
course. Thus teacher by taking ad-
vantage of the usmmer quarter to be
held regularly hereafter, and by avail
ing herself of the correspondence
courses already offered by the school
may make sufficient credits for a life
diploma or for any other of the state
certificates, excepting the work in
training school, and at the same time
perform her duties as teacher during
the regular school year. This will be
a great boon to teachers ambitious in
the profession.
In connection with this full summer
quarter = six weeks course will be held
to accommodate teachers desiring to
meet the requirements of the Idaho
school laws. This course will begin
July IS and close with the August ex-
aminations which will be held at the
school August 22-24. Teachers COM
pleting this course will be given full
credit on FIVE year rural certificates
and on FIVE year secondary certifi.
Gates. Review courses completed in
this six weeks course will be credited
on the life diplomas at the discretion
of the heads of the respective DEPART
ments in which these courses are Civ
en-.
The many advantages of doing sum-
mer work at state normal school are
at once apparent. The regular normal
school faculty will be retained. The
school laboratories. school library
and, all other normal school equipment
will be at the disposal of summer
school students. In short the work
will be made as efficient and thorough
in every respect as the work of the
regular school year.
The slight expense connected with
these courses place them within the
reach OF every ambitious teacher.
Board and room including use of fur
niture, light, baths and laundry room
will be offered in the school dorm;-
tories at $500 per week. An enroll.
ment fee of $500 will be charged each
student. Saturday sessions will short

economy possible. $40 should cover

Pioneer Scalploeks Unearthed.
A letter from Sites, Idaho. says:
Two more skeletons of Indians long
since dead have been dug up near
where the grave of the ancient chief
was exhumed by working men en-
ployed in the construction of the new
road up Cottonwood canyon. about
one mile southwest of Sites. These
other two were evidently not chiefs.
as none of the regalia, trinkets or
other insignia Of rank were found
buried with them. but one reason for
this dearth Of relics may be the prob
able fact that the skeletons, through
several generations, had slid down

of which they were buried in the
lonely canyon.

If only we'd speak the word right out
And tell of our sympathy.
How rich the reward that we would
gain
How bright everything would bel
If only we'd pause in anger and
Give kindness instead of hate:
How many an aching heart we'd spare.
And brighten the smile of Fate.
If only we'd tell while yet men live.
The things that we tell when dead:
How many heart would take new
cheer.
And back into love be led.
A word in the hour Of trial and care.
A word in the time of pain,
A word from 4 heart that seems to

Sets everything right again.

And welcome the kiss of the air.
