THE MALlGN INFLUENCE

The following is the opening edito
rial in the New Time, under the new
management, and it is with much
pleasure that we quote the article:

The day of personal journalism has
gone glimmering down the dim vista

tended when it is used for the purpose
of f-glorification, to malign and
cCyeltly attack the character of a
fellow citizen for some fancied griev-
alice, or to decry each and every
movement for the betterment of To-
cal conditions unless ye editor is
conceded the honor and credit of in
itiating such reforms. Many intellec-
tual misfits and ambitious journalistic
derelicts in Idaho appear to have
achieved the sum total of success
along the lines of human endeavor
when they assume control of G.
Wash. two-revolution perfecting hand
press, a bucket of type and a few
subscribers on whom to unload their
prejudices. to exhibit their lillipu-
tian brains and the pig that is in
them and which sooner or later rises
to the surface to harass the towns
in which they live. The province
and the proper sphere of usefulness
of a newspaper to the community in
which it is published, is to record
matters of fact, the encouragement
of worthy enterprises and in the ele-
vation of the moral, intellectual and
religious well being of it's readers.
When this is lost sight of in the
frenzy to pose as an oracle, leader
and the only noise meandering down
the pike, then the boot and the to-
boggen is the only alternative. In
the newspaper business, as in every
other line of human endeavor, you
can't fool all the people all the time.

COMMERCIAL CLUB HOLDS
SUCCESSFUL MEETING

After a short business meeting
Thursday evening, the members OF
the Commercial Club and their friends
gathered in the opera house and en-
joyed the program which had been
arranged by the committee.
After a selection by Reeds orches
ira, Judge HOWE spoke, giving a
short, interesting history of the irri
cation system.
Then came a charming violin solo
by Prof. Horn.
e. J. Colthorpe talked Interestingly
about the necessity of all working to-
eetLer Tor the success of the cause
and the advantage to be gained by
thorough advertising.
Mrs. Minney favored the audience
with a vocal solo and then Mrs.
Hughes gave an original recitation
which was we'll received. The entire
poem will be found in another column
of this issue.
Ex-Governor Brady then gave a
valuable talk, urging on people the
great necessity of working together
to accomplish the good that may be
wrought for this community. AS
usual, Mr.. Brady filled his hearers
with confidence in him and his inten-
tions and strengthened their belief in
the coming prosperity of those who
have labored hard and waited patient
ly.
Another selection by the orchestra
and the audience passd into the club
room where refreshmnts were served
and a social hour enjoyed.
AS a fitting climax to an evening
OF unusual pleasure and profit, the
floor was cleared for dancing and
all who wished had an opportunity

SETTLERS SELECT DRY FARMS
Local Land Office Busy Issuing Per.
mits Under Recent Order
OF President Taft.

Many settlers took advantage yes
terday of President Taft's new order
including 20,O40 acres of land in
Ada, Boise and Canyon counties in
the dry farming belt of the state.
The federal land office here was
kusy all through the day with the
entries made under the presidents s
instructions to the department BY
an executive order, this large body
Of land was placed under the pro-
visions of the enlarged homestead
act. The settler Is, therefore, enti.
tied to 800 acres for a home, if he
wants that much under the land laws
of the government.
The rain for the last few days put
q damper on the land business in
this office. Settlers have not been
looking at the governments domain
and have not filed their applications
fcr slices Of, it. A few have made
selections, of course, but not the
number the department would natu-
rally expect at this season of the
year.
President Taft's order makes many
lew dry farms for the state. The
land which lies in this body is near
Long valley and includes some of the
finest wheat raising sections of the
northwest. 1t is not capable of irri
cation, but is just as good land as
that from which most of Idahos fa-
nous wheat comes.
The order went into effect yester-
day. 1t was made several days ago,
al d was received at the office here
from the commissioner of the gener-
al land office. The officials believe
many other entries will be made as
soon as fair weather sets in, enab-
ling persons from other parts of the
state to make the trip to the land
office of the district.-Statesma

HEWITT is GIVEN ORDER TO
SELL POWER PLANT.
Judge Dietrich Sides With Tacoma
Millionaire Against
L. L. Num-.

Henry Hewitt, Jr the Tacoma mil,
lionaire, yesterday secured an order
Of sale for the Mountain Home pow
er plant from Judge Dietrich in the
federal court. The order will prob
ably be issued today after which the
plant will be advertised for month
before sale Is made.
I he suit has been in the court for
some time. Charges that L. L. Num-,
president of the Beaver River COM
Iany, had bought the plant from
Roy C. Dwyer with the intention OF
abandoning it were made in the com
plaint. Hewitt claimed Num- simply
wanted to get the plant out OF the
field and that he would gradually
deplete the machinery until he decid-
ed to abandon it altogether. The
property is valude at about $4,000.
Roy c. Dwyer bought the plant from
Hewitt some time ago and then
transferred his interest to Num-.
The sale of the plant will be made
without redemption, the usual provis-
ion of the Idaho State law granting
the right of redemption within a
year after sale being refused because
this is a public service corporation.
At the time Num- bought the plant
he did not assume the mortgage
which amounted to about $4,000.
Dwyer made no defense.-States-

TAFT
RESENTS INSULTS
Attacks Of Theodore Roosevelt
Full OF FalSeho0ds.
HIS CAMPAIGN UNFAIR ONE
Representation ViIification, Abuse
and Assaults of Roosevelt viii
No Longer Be Tolerated.
Former President Would
Wreck the Party.

After enduring with infinite pa
tience, not only because of the dignity
of the high Office which he holds, but
| also because of the personal friend
ship which he has enjoyed and had
hoped to maintain with former Presi
dent Theodore Roosevelt, President
William H. Taft has finally been
forced to resent the misrepresenta-
tions of his actual position on public
issues, the rntruths which have been
uttered with respect to his official ac-
tions and to the conduct of this cam.
paign and attacks upon him which not
infrequently involved his personal
honor as a man as well as his integ-
rity as president of the United States.
The president and his campaign
managers have sought throughout
this campaign by dignifed and fair
course of conduct to maintain the Re-
publican party as militant power
for good In the land, with a view to
another triumphant victory at the
polls In November
On the contrary, Theodore Roose-
welt and his friends and hackers have
conducted an organized campaign to
wreck the Republican party, not only
by engenderlng personal animosities
by attacks on individual leaders Of
the party in various states, but by of
fering and supporting a national plat
form which is rank Socialism AS a
result of this situation Director VIII
liam B. Mckinley of the National Taft
bureau, issued the following state
ment to the public on April IA;
"The outcome Of the Pennsylvania
primaries is plainly indicative of the
fact that national issues are playing
only a small part in some states In
the campaign for the Republican nom
inatjon for president
Instead of constructive statesman
ship being put forth In an effort to
solve the problems before the country
and as a bid for votes on the ground
of merit, a nationwide campaign of
willful and malicious misrepresenta-
ton, villifcation and assault on the
president of the United States has
been substituted. Such a campaign
amounting In fact to a conspiracy
not only to humillate the president
personally, but to commit the Repub
lican party to rank Socialism, has
been countenanced and conducted by
former President Theodore Roose.
velt
"The time has arrived to call halt
on such proceedings
President Taft, always mindful of
the decencies of human conduct be.
lieving that friendship is a sacred
thing and that like truth ii should be
maintained even at a personal sacri-
fee, and also believing that the Ameri-
can people expect the occupant Of the
highest office In the gift Of the nation,
as well as those who have formerly oc-
cupied It, to respect the dignity Of that
office, has, during the course Of this
campaign, patiently submitted to mis-
representation, yillifcation and insult,
without reply
"The result is that his opponent has
thrown all restraint to the winds Sen
