Responding to the call of Rev. w.
M. Case. 10 men of the Presbyterian
congregation assembled last Friday
afternoon armed with various .imple-
ments agricultural and proceeded to
level and prepare for seed the park
ing surrounding the church.
Such was their effort that Sunday
morning the church presented a very
much improved appearance and upon
due notice being taken by Mr.. Case
of the splendid work in the course Of
his remarks from thcspulpit a distinct
stiffening was noticed among the male
portion of the congregation-either
from pride or reminiscent twinges or
sore muscles. -
After the labor of the day the ladies
served Conservation Supper and
were rather alarmed at the effect of
the work upon the appetites of the
laborers.

THE REAL DANGER.

The people do not fear that Roose;
welt is plotting to make himself ar
emperor. Most of them have an idea
that even if he were elected again, the
republic would survive. The DANCE,
is not in Roosevelt himself so much
as in what it may prepare the way for
The no-third-term tradition is
founded on reason. Set by Washing
ton, the precedent was observed by
Jefferson. Madison, Monroe and Jack
son. Grant failed to overturn it. The
idea that Roosevelt is of emperor tim
Der is ridiculous. but his success would
mean the up-setting of a precedent
that has been q guard against posi-
bic Caesar that might arise. and the
violating Of tradition that has come
to have almost the force of consti-
tutional provision. The real danger
is in the entering wedge. Even now
there is agitation for a change in the
Constitution extending the term of the
President to six years and making
him ineligible for reelection. The no
third-term precedent has served to
limit the Presidents service to eight
years. If the President could be elect
ed to third term. there is no reason
why he could not be elected to a
fourth. a ffth-ad lib. We are not
Mexicans and will not have a Diaz
easily. We are not Romans living on
the spoils Of conquest. and another
Caesar would have tough old time
turning the United States into an en-
pire today. But we do not want. to
pave the way for another of a future
day. The first step is what counts
most-and costs most. The protest of
many Of Roosevelt's admirers against
his accepting the nominated for a
third term is ample evidence that the
American people are aroused by even
the faintest suspicion of imperialism
no matter how remote.

FOR PROBATE JUDGE,

To date there are only two men
spoken of as possible candidates fol
the Office of Probate Judge. Both are
we'll known in the county and par
ticularly we'll known in Caldwell
among the legal fraternity. They are
Messrs. w. c. Bicknell and D. D.
Harger.
The Office of Probate Judge has
grown to be one of considerable i'm
portance and it were we'll to select a
man with care. With each year a
more thorough knowledge of law is
required to properly discharge the du-
ties of this Office. Either of these gen
tlemen would creditably fill the po-
sition.
Mr.. D. D. Harger has been a resi-
dent of the county for a matter of
two years, coming here from Denver.
where he had practiced his profess
sion after leaving his home city of
Ann Arbor, Michigan. Mr.. Harger

Mr.. w. c. Bicknell has been init
mately interested in Canyon county
for some time. He definitely decided
to make Canyon county his home
little less than year ago. coming to
Caldwell and at once engaging in the
practice of his profession.
Mr.. Bicknell stood very high in his
profession and in the esteem of his
fellow-citizens of his former home,
as may be gathered from the fact that
he served as county attorney of Ste
vens county, Minnesota, for IL years.
He was member of the Minnesota
Legislature, representing the s7th
legislative district for two terms, 1907
1909. He is prominent in frater-
nal circles, is a man of sterling integri-
~ and is held in high esteem in his
profession. If elected. The Tribune
has no doubt that Mr.. Bicknell would |

THE LESSON OF THE TITANIC.

Less than three weeks ago the IT.
tanic went down, down to the beasts
OF the sea and the ooze. Already
the stories of politics and politicians
begin to head the columns of the
great dailies and the world grows
tired of the tale Of the awful disaster.
Soon the CHASTITY vision of what lie,
there breathless and silent in the wa
terry deep will be forgotten.

men and lovely women, pure infant
and grimy stoker-all swept down in.

A WORD TO REPUBLICANS.

row. They should be guided in thei,
transactions solely by the purpose Of
best promoting the interests of the
party and the people. We have nc
reason to believe but that the highes,
patriotism will guide them in every
acton that may be taken. 1t is a
characteristic of the Republican party
that IN the supreme and final test it is
always found on the side of the people
protecting their interests, advocating
their welfare.
On this occasion they can point
with pride not only to a national ad-
ministration which has come up to
the highest expectations of the Amer
lean people but to several admins
trations. The Republican party was
born in the throes OF civil war. II
arose to the occasion then and il has
never failed since. Many of the
brightest men. most sincere patriots,
and greatest statesmen this country
has produced during the past half
century were Republicans. The Re-
publican party is not lacking in pa
triots and statesmen today. He who
attempts to argue that the dead past
and only the dead past was great, is
: hbel on mans name and a disgrace

argue that now there is only one man
capable OF leading the party and the
people is little better. There are sew
eral Republicans in the United States
who can fill any position to which the
party might call them. Let not the

warrants the breaking of tradition
that more than one patriot and states
man has most earnestly asked to be
enacted into the written law of the

Corner Eleventh and Boulevard De.
cided Upon.
The four lots on the northeast cor.
ner of 18th avenue and the Boulevard
will be the location of the new Car
negie Library, according to the de-
cision of-the Library committee, which
reports to the council next Monday.
This practically settles the matter,
as it is not thought that the council
will undertake to review the work of
the committee. The property belongs
to Sam Shelton and is optioned at
$l20O ($3O0 per lot). which is consid-
cred very fair price for property in
this location.
Better than Original Site.
This site is regarded as having de-
cided advantages over the originally
contemplated location opposite the
city hall, and the committee is un-
doubleday to be congratulated on its
choice.
Improvements Started. :
1t is said residents in the locality
have already decided on improvements
in keeping with the distinction which
the new library will bestow. A GEM
ent sidewalk from 10th to 18th, on the
north side of Cleveland is to be put
in at once by the property owners, it
is stated. and the paving of 18th street
is in contemplation.
Work Started Soon.
While the necessary preliminaries
the approval by the Carne-
gle Corporation of the plans for the
new building, have not yet been COM
pleted, it is stated that these will be
pushed as fast as possible and that
work will probably be started by the
first of July.
