isn't hurting him with the common
people.
As president Taft has been presi-
dent of the whole country. He has
tried to inform himself of the condi-
tons and needs of the east, the south,
the west and the north. The west in
particular should remember Taft. He
threw out Pinchot; re-opened land to
entry; promoted irrigation and as
sisted in securing from Congress mil
lions Of dollars for the reclamation
service; is trying to do something for
Alaska; has fastened the construction
of the Panama canal; and has assisted
in securing for San Francisco a
great worlds exposition. He has
been q friend of the west though not
to the detriment of any other section.
Next year will be a Taft year.
The people need have no concern Of
Roosevelt or LaFollette. They are
simply passing fads. Taft is the choice
of the sober minded American people
and they are still largely in the ma
jority.

HIDES AND THE SHOE.

You undoubtedly remember the
high cost Of living in 1911. Indeed
the high cost of living still abides
amongst US and will probably do so to
our dying day. May all Of Us re.
member that. Some of us remember
w. L. Douglas. having seen his pic
ture in many a elose-knit advertise
ment. No open-work advertising
goes with Douglas. He was, on a
time. elected governor of Massachu-
sets. Republican state and he a
Democrat The burden of his plea
was free trade and cheap living-free
hides and cheap shoes. All of you
remember now. Well keep that in
mind. It's good thing to remember.
Under the Dingley Bill which
caused the election Of Mr.. Douglas,
the tariff rates were IS per cent ad
vaiorem on hides. Under the Payne,
or Payne-Aldrieh. bill hides are ad-
mitted free Of all duty. Have you
noticed any remarkable change in
the cost of shoes! We wot not. Ia

reduced price1 We are inclined to

VAN DUYN MEETING WITH IA.
VOR.

Hon. Q. M. Van Duyn announced
himself candidate for the Reoubli-
can nomination for attorney-g' neral
some time ago. Very favorable have
been the comments of the state press
on his candidacy. During the last
three years he has been assistant at
torney-general and in that capacity
has been enabled to extend his ac-
guardianship over the state and show
the people of Idaho his real worth. The
comments of the press attest the man.
ner in which he has done both. His
announcement is hailed with delight
by all Republicans who wish for a
good, clean administration of state
affairs. AS attorney-general Mr.. Van
Duyn will be able to do a great deal
for the state of Idaho. We imagine
that with such man in that Office
affairs of state will not remain long
IN boraska. He has the desire. the
ability and the force of character
to serve we'll the people of this state.
Canyon county has known Van
Duyn for many years. Three times
they elected him county attorney,
and three times more they would have
done the same, if he had so desired.
He was a successful practitioner be-
fore he was elected to Office. He is
conscientious in whatever capacity he
is employed. We can honestly say
that we believe that at the Republican
primaries he will get oS per cent of
the Republican vote of Canyon coun
ty. not matter who nor how many are
against him.
The Tribune sincerely hopes that
the Republicans of Idaho will look
favorably upon the candidacy of o. M.
Van Duyn. If they do they will make
no mistake. He will serve the state
we'll. He win add strength to the
Republican ticket.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1912-01-12

think that he is not, having priced
them yesterday. Was Mr.. Douglas 4
humbug? He was not. He simply
made q great mistake.
The tariff inflicted upon the coun-
try by the Payne act undoubtedly in
cresses the cost of living. but to such
a small extent as to be unworthy of
consideration on that score alone.
Take common sense view of mat
tiers. Here in Caldwell the average
family fifteen years ago could live in
comfort on sixty dollars a month. We
mean comfort for that day. A fam
lily in the same circumstances today
would spend one hundred dollars per
month. How do they spend the extra
forty dollarsa by having telephones,
electric lights, city water, sewers, ten
cent shows and the attendant lux
uries; by being better fed, clothed and
shod; by having better schools, better
churches, and more and greater social
advantages. They travel more and
in better class; see more and in
greater comfort. They are better off
in every particular. They deserve to
be better off still and The Tribune
fondly believes that the day is not far
distant when the average family will
enjoy . great many more comforts
and luxuries than it does today.
This is no argument against a
downward revision of the tariff. We
wish simply to call attention to the
fact that too much should not be ex-
pected from low tariff. Shoes and
hides tell the story. Why elaborate?

says: that there has been an active
manager in charge of the Champ
Clark boom has been apparent fol
some little time, but SO adroit was
this manager that his identity was
not disclosed during the early months
of his labor. 1t now comes to light
for the first time that Fred Dubois
is the man to whom Speaker Clark
has entrusted his political fortunes,
and the frequent visits of the former
senator to Washington, New York
and other eastern cities is at last ex-
planned"
All of which foreefully impresses
you with the necessity of carefully
reading the Caldwell Tribune. This
mystery would have been explained,
and so would have the visits
been explained, and the identity dis
closed if the people of the United
States had read The Tribune with
care and fidelity. But they will not
do it. Even when lying to our ad-
vertisers the best we can say is that
two thousand American citizens are
constant subscribers. If the balance
insist upon remaining in darkness and
ignorance may the heavens pity them.
Champ Clark could have gone a
long way without finding better
man to manage his campaign. Sena-
tor Dubois is a remarkable politician.
He was successful for many years.
In 1896 he guessed Alright so far as
Idaho was concerned and in 1898 was
reelected to the United States senate.
Since that. time he has been a prophet
who hardly came up to the Mormon
standard. In fact he has missed time
and time and again. 1t remains to be
seen whether or not he has guessed
Alright this time. If 50 we wish him
we'll. Wild-eyed as he is we believe
Champ Clark to be the best man so
far spoken of for the Democratic
Speaker Clark says
things that other people are thinking,
that probably the great majority are
but he seems to have no
idea of the time or place to say them.
He is indiscreet. To use a phrase of
vulgar parlance he has contractt d. the
habit of going off half-cocked. We
fear that he would make an indi ,creet
president; and We also fear thu he
has little chance of landing the NOM
nation. However that may be-. we
are pleased to see Senator Dubois
coming to the front again. If we
must have Democratic admir- istra-
lion let Champ Clark be at its head
ind Dubois its prime minister. |

Kentucky journalist. is credited with
having said recently that if Theodore
Roosevelt were again placed in the
White House he would never come
out except feet foremost. We cannot
believe with Col. Watterson but his
warning is most timely. Theodore
Roosevelt is an ambitious politician
hut he is no Caesar. He is not of the
..eaiiber. He has not the army and he
.as not Roman people to deal with.
There is NO question in our mind but
that Roosevelt would seize the gov
eggment If he had the courage and
the ability. Lacking both he could
probably he elected for the third time
with no immediate danger to American
institutions. However. he would pave
The way for a real Caesar. He would
lay the foundations. He wants an i'm
mense army and the strongest navy in
the world. If he were elected he could
force Congress to take steps to pro-
vide for both But it would take years
to accomplish his ambition in view
of the fact that the United States is
= peace-loving nation and the Ameri-
can people can see no danger from a
foreign foe at the present time. But
he would make the start and the first
ambitious military hero would take
advantage of the situation. The time
to nip such designs is in the bud The
thing to do now is to see that Theo-
dore Roosevelt is not the next presi-
dent. We apprehend little danger
from Roosevelt. The American peo-
pie respect the counsel of Washington
and the traditions of the presidency.
But should they momentarily forget
both still there would be no danger
from Roosevelt. William Howard
Taft will be re-nominated and re-
elected president. He has made good.
He has preached less and done more
than Roosevelt. He does not have to
howl his record from the house tops.

met with the approval OF the people,

He has fulfilled most of them and
with credit to himself. He had the

tariff commission will gradually work
out through Congress the revision of
the tariff downward. The protection
