S1.00 PER YEAR
THE SEASON TO KEEP
IN THE SPEED LIMIT
Health Department Urges Brakes On
During Hot Season

With the prospect of long haudi-
cap race with the weather. the av-
erage traveller on the road OF good
health will be careful to keep within
the speed limit IL he observes the
warning just issued by the State
Board of Health. Applying the
brakes and going on a lower gear
until cool weather. with due regard
Tor the condition of his machine, he
may hope to escape the worst places
on tue road and TO reach October
without serious injury.
Go slow in hot weather" is the
keynote of a special summer warn
ing sent out few days since by the
State Board of Health. Says the
bulletin:
Most Of the discomfort of summer
is due to the desire of people to Of
serve the same strenuous regimen in
hot weather that they followed in the
bracing days of winter. They rush
as rapidly and work as hard and
blame the thermometer for their
trou bles. TO go slow should be the
first rule OF conduct in hot weather.
Proper clothing and diet are al
most as important. There is no e1-
cuse for overdressing in hot weatLer
The careful citizen will change MS
clothes with the changes Of temper
ature and, in extreme heat, will re-
duce Superfiuous clothing to a mini
mum. This is especially important
in the case of babies and young
children who are extremely suscep-
tible to hot weather. On hot DAYS
babies should have on no clothing
that is not essential to their comfort.
As the temperature becomes lower.
the clothing may be increased. BY
avoiding drafts when lightly clothed
one may escape colds and neuralgia.
AS for food, no man should eat
as heavily in hot weather as in cold.
The body does not require as much
food and will become overheated uu-
less the diet is light. Heavy meats
should be avoided and vegetables
should be eaten in moderation. Iced
drinks should be taken with ex-
treme care and should be avoided
altogether when one is overheated.
The general prospect is for
temperate summer without an un-
due amount OF sickness. This
should encourage the citizen and
supply him with the other thing
necessary to combat hot weather.
good cheer and optimism. Don't
worry about the weather and don't
look at the thermometer.

Under the caption, Mount Wat

nings Bryan.

any popularity Mr.. Bryan enjoys.
He confesses that he did not consult

suit Mr.. Watterson when he intro
duced the resolution against Nor
gan, Ryan and Belmont (wonder il
Mr.. Watterson feels sighted, like
one of the financiers did, because he
was not includedO and Mr.. Bryan
did not consult Mr.. Watterson when
he declined to join with Mr.. Murphy
in nominating a candidate for PreSi-
dent. Mr.. Bryan has pursued the
course which seems to him most
calculated TO advance the interests
OF the Democratic party, and
through the Democratic party the
interests OF the country. He has
done most OF his work not only
without Mr.. Watterson S aid, but in
spite of his opposition. He has
lived to see things he has advocated
become the accepted doctrines of a
great nation and he awaits without
fear the verdict OF the people upon
his work at Baltimore"

Mr.. Bryan Was Considerable

A story OF how William Jennings
Bryan, in order not to hurt the feel
ings of Mrs. Taft, wife Of the Presi-
dent, omitted from the original text
OF his now famous Ryan Belmont
Morgan resolution certain caustic
references to the so-called steam
roller" methods of the Republican
convention and President Taft az
the alleged recipient of favors from
the interests" is told by Robert
f. Rose of Helena, Mont, former
private secretary of Mr.. Bryan, W no
acted as his confidential stenopra-
pher at Baltimore.
On going to the convention hall
in Baltimore" says Mr.. Rose, Mr..
Bryan was told that Mrs. Taft was
in the audience and out of consider
alton for her feelings he struck from
the resolution all reference to the
President. After the resolution
was adopted / asked if he purposely
omitted that part of the resolution
dictated TO me.

sired to do nothing which would
subject her to humiliation.

To Cure Drunkards and Migrants

The new law of Virginia, chapter
40 of the Acts of the late Assem-.
bly,, contains some very stringent
provisions. The law was approved
by Governor Mann. and is now In
full force. The object of the law is
to deal effectively with drunkards
and Migrants and dope fiends and
wife heaters. in fact, the terms of
the law are broad enough to cover
all cases of men who fail to take
care of their families. They are
not to be sent to Jail, comfor tably
housed and fed in idleness. They
must be sent to do useful work on
the roads and in that way be COM
PEELED to contribute to the welfare
of the community. The sentence is
to be indeterminate. The defenders
must continue to work until they
give satisfactory evidence of refor-
nation. The law may appear severe,
but it is just. The man who shirks
his duty and refuses to meet bis
obligations to society must be made
to recognize his responsibilities and
perform his part as good citizen
II he doesn't like the punishment
he can escape it by reformation.
Then he and his family and his CON-
munity will be benefited by the
transformation Of q nuisance into a
useful member of society.-Lynch.

Virginia Press Must Take Lead
In Development
SAYS PRESIDENT ADDISON
Commerce and Agriculture More I'm
portant than Politics

portant than Politics
Walter E. Addison is the editor OF
the Lynchburg News, and is now
ex-president of the Virginia Press
Association, his term of Office having
expired with the annual meeting OF
the association held at Blue Ridge
Springs last week. 1t is customary
for the president to deliver an ad
dress at each annual meeting.
Mr.. Addison said in part:
The Importance OF these annual
occasions should be obvious. We
represent the journalism OF a great
Common wealth. We are united into
an organized body for the purpose
of promoting-the interests of a high
calling. We are bound together in
the ties OF fraternal sympathy that
should be broad and strong and
deep and lasting. And as each year
goes by, we gather at one place, in
one communion, to advise one with
the other as to how fares the Fourth
Estate, and to catch inspiration
from the association, so that the
more bravely, the mo re confidently,
the more resolutely we may go for
ward to another period of service.
Permit me to express the hope that
when the proceedings of the present
convention SHALL have witnessed
conclusion, they will be regarded
as having been altogether worth
while. and as having afforded profit
able and pleasant experience to
those in attendance.
Three years ago at Rock bridge
Alum Springs, this association
listened with earnest interest to
stirring appeal from Mr.. John Stew
art Bryan. of the Richmond Times
Dispatch, for a larger measure of
atteu ton at the hands of Virginia
newspapers to matters that pertain
to business progress-to farming
development. and especially TO the
good roads movement, to the en-
couragement OF agricultural en-
deavor; and heard the distinguished
journalist urge the vital, present
need of increased publicity for the
work then and now under way TO
promote the demonstration of the
splendid agricultural potentially
of the Common wealth. Resolutions
were adopted at that meeting pledg-
ing the association to work along
the lines suggested by Mr.. Bryan,
and observation has convinced
that the stimulus thus afforded for
the broadening of constructive
journalistic endeavor in Virginia
produced helpful results. Your pres
ident, however, would again com
mend this matter to your careful
consideration. He would remind
that the dictates OF duty and respon-
sibility should impel a newspaper to
afford vigorous support to this cause,
and that newspaper in failing to
recognize the force of this obliga-
ton, fails woefully in understand
ing the true newspaper mission.
He would urge the importance oil

BULL MOOSE CONVENTION
TO MEET ON AUGUST 5TH
Colonel Roosevelt Issues Call to His
Followers


A call to the people of the United
States who are in sympathy with
the National Progressive move
ment" to send delegates to the
National Convention to open in Chi
cago on August 9Th has been given
out by United States Senator Joseph
NJ. Dixon of Montana, Theodore
Roosevelt's campaign manager. The
call is signed by members OF the
committee chosen at a meeting held
in Chicago, and also includes sigma
lures of Roosevelt followers in forty
states.
The call says in substances:
To the people of the United
States, without regard to past polit-
ical differences, who, through re-
peated betrayals, realize that today
the power of the crooked, political
bosses and OF the privileged classes
behind them is so strong in the two
parties that no helpful movement in
the real interest of our country can
come out Of either.
Who believe that the time has
come for a National Progressive
movement, a nation wide movement,
non-sectional lines, so that the peo-
pie may be served in sincerity and
truth by an organ ization unfettered
by obligation TO collecting interests.
Who believe in the right and Ca
pacity OF the people to rule them
selves and effectively to control all
the agencies of their government,
and who hold that only through So
cial and industrial justice, thus So
cured, can honest property find per
manent protection.
Who believe that government by
the few tends TO become, and has in
fact become, government by the sor-
did influences that control the few.
Who believe that through the
movement proposed can we obtain
in the nation and in the several
States the change demanded by the
modern industrial evolution.
who hold that the commandment
delivered at Sinai. Thou shalt not
steal, applies to politics as we'll as
to business.
To all in accord with these views
a call is hereby issued by the pro-
visional committee, under the reso-
luton Of the mass-meeting held in
Chicago on June 90 last to send
from each State q number of dele.
gates whose votes in the convention
shall count for as many votes as the
State shall have Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress, to meet in
conventian at Chicago on the 9th
day of August. 1912, for the purpose
of nominating candidates to be sup
ported for the positions OF President
and Vice-President of the United
States"
This call is signed by one or more
persons in each CT the forty States.

A Competent Man For Assessor
Moscow, Idaho, October 80, 1912.

MOSCOW, Idaho, October 80, 1912.
Taxpayer-Not having the time to meet you in person to discuss the
issues of the campaign which touch upon my candidacy for Assessor and
Tax Collector, I take this means of stating to you some reasons why feel
justified in asking your support for this office, which comes closer to you
than any other county office.
Ihave resided in this county for about II years, being at the present
time past 81 years of age. During my residence here l have received a
university education, and having spent about four years as clerk in the
Assessors office, I have famiiarized myself with the system Of handling
the office, which is important.
In-as-much as the county pays all clerical help needed in the office it
is to the interest of the taxpayers to save a much clerk hire as possible.
Thus, If an official is not competent to do the work of his office, it re-
quires the hiring of help not needed were such official capable of doing
the work of his office. This is especially true of the Assessors Office,
as all the work requires clerical ability. I wish to state that if l am
elected the office will receive my undivided time and attention.
l am qualified to do the work of the office as well as the outside work,
and will thus be able to effect a saving to the taxpayers of at least $500
each year in clerical hire.
The records of the office are yours, and you will be welcome in the
office tall times, and any grievance that you may have shall receive my
best attention.
If elected I guarantee to all impartial and courteous treatment, and
shall at all times strive to effect an equitable assessment of all property in
the county.
Respectfully,
adv. THEO. E. MARTlNSON.

Along the Garden Paths.

When watering plants do not force
the water against the plant; let it fall
in the form of a shower.
Cabbage and all other plants Of the
cabbage family require a very fertile
and cool, moist soil for good growth.
Carrots are splendid for folks who
need iron in their blood. One Of the
best ways to get it is to eat these nice
roots.
Sunshine, rainfall and temperature
are three important factors in canta-
loupe culture beyond the control Of the
grower.
If your beet rows are too thick pull
out some and boil them for greens.
Nothing better in the world for this
purpose.
Let no cucumbers go to seed or the
productiveness Of the vines will be
stopped. Pick them often, whether
you want them or not.
