IMPERTINENT IGNORANCE.

Mr.. Gibson, the state chairman OF
the Bull Moose party has issued an
open letter to the candidates on the
Republican state ticket demanding
that they reform him whether they
stand for Taft or Roosevelt. Since
the Great Bull Moose himself dis.
claims further membership in the
Republican party what business it is
of Mr.. Gibson whether the Republic
can candidates are for or against the
Bull Moose? If they are for him
they are not Republicans for Roose-
welt says he is no longer Republi-
can. Why should the Republican
candidates be questioned regarding
their loyalty to their party by the
chairman of the Bull Moose party
rather than the chairman of the
Democratic party? There is but one
reason and that is that the chair
man of the Bull Moose party is but

cording to the new law.
About four years ago the postal
department ruled that it would no
longer carry newspapers at the us
ual rate for publishers who did not
get settlement with their subscrib-
ers once year, and it had the af-
feet of cleaning up the lists by drop
ping a certain class of people who
read, but seldom pay and of putting
lot of publishers out of business
who had been relying largely on that
class of people to keep their lists
large enough to attract advertisers.
Publishers who carry on legiti-
mate business ard maintain their
self lesrect are not hit by these laws,
and they rather enjoy the connection
it makes. One of the new laws re-
ferred to requires tie publication

paper. Simply printing the name of
the company is not sufficient, the
name of each partner or stakeholder

The new law that went into affect

The present shortage of freight

Present conditions serve to estab-

present facilities are inadequate yet
year after year the same conditions
have prevailed and the same trouble
has been faced. The volume of pro-

ion whatever has been made for this,
certainly none which offers any mea-

HAWI,EY'S AMBITION

For several years past the demo-
Gratis of Idaho, in common with their
brethren in nearly every other state
in the union, have been demanding
the direct election of United States
senator's. They declared for it in
their state platforms and their speak
ers have advocated it from every
PLATFORM, 1t has in fact been their
paramount issue in several cam
paigns. But in Idaho this year,
when we have a United States SEN
ator to elect we not only find the
democrats silent On this question,
but they have actually turned their
back on this policy. That is, the
leaders of the party have done this
principal among which is Governor
James H. Hawley.
Now everybody knows that Gov
ernor Hawley has a burning desire
to 20 to the United States senate.
His desire to be reelected governor
is equally as great and by having
defeated the proposition of having
the democrats name their choice for
senator at the time Of the primary
election. he hopes to accomplish both
ends, providing the next legislature
is democratic.
Hawley not only refused to stand
as a candidate for state senator be-
fore the primary election, but he and
his friends succeeded in preventing
any other democrat from seeking this
endorsement, preferring to leave the
question entirely with the legislature.
Mark this prediction. Should
Hawley be reelected governor and
the democrats control the legislature
he will Immediately announce him
self as candidate for U. S. senator
on the ground that he is the strong
est democrat in the state. So eager
was the governor to ride two horses
at the same time that he discarded
the democratic principle of the pop

is A CHANGE NEEDED?

Six business houses and additions
to older buildings, each with two
stories and basement are in course of
erection in Blackfoot now, and a.
number of residences.
Some that we have not mentioned
before are Priests residence on the
Catholic Church property, cottage
26x40 by Frank Hess for w. E. Cur
It's in the Younie Addition, Karl Neff
a residence 24x30 north of town.
Mr.. Beesley and w. F. Bruce each
residence north of town. a couple of
houses in the Parkinson Addition,
David Benson, and 2Sx30 cottage at
Groveland, George Rupp brick resi-
dence at Portervi1Ie.
The Gem State Lumber Company
report that their sales for September
were the largest in the history of
the business. Besides the buildings
enumerated above, there is consi-
derable acticity among farmers build
ing storage of some kind for grain
and potatoes, repairing and adding
to buildings and making beet racks
and hay racks for handling the big
crop.
Carpenters and cement contractors
have all had very busy season, and
farmers may be seen in town almost
every day looking for men They
are scarce, and many people did not
get to attend the fair because of the
necessity for doing as much as pos
fsible of their own work in the har-
vest, owing to the fact that enough
help could not be found. Every
body who will work is employed,
either for himself or for somebody
else.
The policy of the Republican nat
fonal administration produces and
maintains these conditions. Prices
are high, but everybody has money.
If their opponents the Democrats of
the nation are given control and the
tariff is revised as it was in the
nineties, prices will be disturbed and
people will not have markets nor
money to buy at any kind of prices.
Only one thing will be certain and
that is the AK bill, and the record
of the present administration under
our Democratic Governor Haw1ey and
his hobby of cash values, has raised
the taxes forty to fifty percent over
last year, and last year was a SUBJ
stantial raise over the year before
which was under a Republican state
administration.
In view of these facts how are you
going to vote? Can you afford to
vote for Roosevelt to beat Taft? Can
you afford to vote for Wilson Just
to beat Roosevelt? Can you afford
to vote for either Wilson, or Roose-
welt and take the consequences as
they came to us during the last
d. mocratic national administration
A vote for Roosevelt is half a vote
for Wilson, and vote for Haw-
ley and the Democratic state ad-
ministration is vote for Demo-
cratic U. s. Senator who will vote for
revision of the tariff on the basis
of tariff for revenue only, which we
had in the nineties when we had no
money to spend and thousands of
cases men had to let even their life
insurance lapse because of the i'm
possibility of getting any money to-
gether.
This is good time to do some
sober thinking
