HOME COUNTY TO
GIVE MAJORITY
G.. H. Martin Will Carry
Bonner-Rally Is Held
at Standpoint.

That G. H. Martins home county
will return him q handsome majority
after the votes are counted tonight
was evident from the enthusiastic rally
held in his behalf in his home city
Saturday. A Standpoint dispatch
says:
G. H. Martin, Progressive candidate
for governor of Idaho. spoke to a
crowded house tonight in his home
town. At Sis o'clock, when Mr.. Mar
tin assembled the platform, accompanied
by Paul Clagstone, w. F. Whitaker and
Myrvin Davis, the knights Of Pythias
hall was nearly filled and crowds kept
coming for the next half hour until
practically every chair was filled and
the rear of the hall filled with people
standing up.
The first snow of the season covered
the ground to the depth Of two inches.
There were as many women as men
in the audience. Tint and again the
crowd, numbering 800, applauded
heartily.
CIasstone Thanks People.
w. F. Whitaker introduced Paul
GLADSTONE. who took his first public
Standpoint and Of Bonner county for
their hearty support at the primaries.
He said he had been solicited to ac-
cept the nomination of the Progressive
party by some Of his friends after his
defeat at the primaries, but he did not
feel that he could do so without
making himself out a poor loser, nor
had he felt as though he could take
the stump against Mr.. Haines, even
though he was and always had been
a progressive. He said the recent ac-
ton in barring the Roosevelt electors
was outrageous. Recent attacks upon
Mr. Martin he said have no founda-
ton. He urged the people to give Mr..
Martin support because he stood for
progressive principles and because he
was a fellow citizen and citizen OF
Bonner county and knew the needs of
the county better than an outsider.
Mr.. Martin said:
Tells Of Iowa Statement.
ut does a mans heart good to come
back to his home town and be greeted
by an audience like this"
He then alluded briefly to state
ment appearing in the Boise Statesman
and signed by five men from Spencer,
Iowa, where he used to live. The
statement declared he has not a repu-
tation for veracity and. good char
acter.
One of the men, he said, Is now the
mayor of the town and his name heads
the list. Martin asserted the man was
convicted of gambling while prosecu-
ting attorney To each man on the
list he gave a similar clear reason for
malice and then stated leach man on
that list Is a personal and political
enemy. Mr.. Wright in the audience
used to know me, there and II he tells
you l had a bad reputation, don't vote
for me-
Mr.. Wright is a retired farmer. He
Immediately shouted: your reputation
Is all right" and the crowd applauded
uproariously.

LIGHT REFLECTION.
The Reason Why Foam Always APP
pears White In Color.

When water or liquid of any color is
violently agitated small bubbles OF
air are mixed up with it. and thus
foam is formed. and it's whiteness is
due to the fact that when light passes
from one medium to another OF a diff
ferent retroactive index it is always
reflected. and this reflection may be
so often repeated as to render the mix
ture impervious to light.
1t is. then, this frequency of the re-
Elections of the limiting surfaces of
air and water that renders foam
Opaque, and as each particle reflects
light in all directions so much light is
reflected that the mixture appears
white.
To similar cause is due the white
ness of transparent bodies when crush
ed to powder. The separate particles
transmit light freely, but the reflec-
lions at their surfaces are so numer-
Gus that the resulting effect is white.
Thus glass when crushed is q white
powder and is Opaque, but when it is
put under water it once more becomes
transparent, because the water fills up
the interstices between the particles
and the reflections are destroyed. Salt
and snow are also common examples
of this condition.

WHEAT PIT AGAIN
THROWN IN PANIC
Scene Today Nearly Equal
led That of Historic
Letter Collapse.
(National News Association

CHICAGO, April 15.-The widest
day the wheat market in Chicago has
seen since the historic Letter collapse
came down on the board of trade
this forenoon in a mad rush to cover
by the bear shorts. Reports from the
winter wheat districts continued as
bad as last week if not worse, and
there was panic-like clamor for grain
at steadily advancing prices.
Nothing like it in years" Nothing
worse at. any time said old traders to-
day The wheat fever has reached
point of delirium. May delivery of
wheat made another sensational ad-
vance over Saturdays phenomenal
closing price. After closing Saturday
at $1.O9A, only one-fourth of point
less than the days high price, May
wheat opened today at $1.10 to Sill,
and reached a high mark of $1.11B,
and lost ground only temporarily and
in scattered deals. While the shorts
were rushing to cover in hordes OF
great many professional traders were
selling at the advantageous prices to
suecre profits. More sensational adj
vances were probably checked by re-
ports from the spring wheat country,
where in all sections of our north
west and the Canadian belt, planters
are blowing day and night with steam
and gasoline traction plows and a
greater area than ever before is being
planted under ideal conditions, fol
lowing heavy winter snowfall and an
assuring spring.

VICTIMS OF HUMOR.
Proctor Knott and Sunset" Cox Be-
walled Their Funny Tags.


The late Proctor Knott seems 10 be
remembered chiefly as the author of
the facetious Duluth speech. says the
New York World. Yet he was a great
lawyer, and as chairman of the house
committee on the judiciary he had TO
do with serious and vastly important
affairs. Mr.. Knots single appearance
as a humorist fixed his reputation for
all time, and no amount of profoundly
serious work could change ii.
Samuel S. Cox had a similar expert
ence with greater reason. for in early
life he had cultivated the risibles
quite devotedly. Mr.. Knott lived long
enough to perceive that he was to be
identified not with learning or public
service, but with an oratorical exag-
geration. and Mr.. Cox found in his ma
turity that the speakership. the goal of
his career. was denied him because IL
was no place for a funny man.
Although never a humorist. Proctor
Knott accomplished something with
satire and irony in which most men
fail. He made himself understood
EVERYBODY knew that he was joking.
Nobody ever demanded an explana-
ton of his remarks on Duluth or a re-
traction or an apology. From that
viewpoint, therefore, he was one of
the successful men Of his generation.
