to Devote Attention to Wool.
The Caldwell Forwarding Co., one
of the largest implement and farm
machinery houses in the state was re-
organized this week. Mr.. J. B. Cow
en-, for many years manager of the
business retires and will devote his
attention to wool buying in the future.
Messrs. w. H. and w. c. Won Was
mer will continue the business under
the old name and in the same place.
They have been connected with the
business for a number of years and
thoroughly understand it.
Mr.. Gowen will buy wool in the flu
ture as in the past. In fact he retires
from the firm for the purpose of de-
voting his entire time to the wool
business. During the past year Mr..
Gowen has devoted a great deal of
time and attention to the wool indus
try and wooden manufacture. Rumor
has it that he is connected with New
England concern which will erect a
wooden mill in Caldwell within the
next year or two.
Mr.. Gowen has been one of the best
business men and most enthusiastic
boosters Caldwell has ever had. The
people of the town will be glad to
know that he will continue with us.

CALDWELL MILITARY
TROPHY HAS ARRIVED
Record Made by Company G at Tar
get Practice Wins Fine Gun.

eee 1AoSeee WINS rlne Cup.
Company G, |. N. G., won the sill
yer trophy for making the highe st
aggregate score at target practice dur
ing the encampment of 1911. The cup
was offered by the officers of the
Second Infantry as perpetual chal-
lenge cup to be awarded each year
to the militia company making the
highest score in target practice.
The cup stands in height almost IL
inches above the top of the ebony
base on which it rests. The design
is novel and appropriate, the cup be-
ing in the shape of a half egg, the
point resting on three stacked rifles.
On one side of the cup itself appears
the state seal and an appropriate in
scription, both worked in bas-relief.
The workmanship is excellent, even
the rifles on which the cup proper
rests being turned to show clearly
that they are government Springfield,
lock, stock, barrel and bolt complete.
Company G now has the right to
hold the cup until the encampment
this year, when it will. have to de-
fend the right to hold it against every
other company in the state.
The cup will be presented to the
local militia company in the near fu-
ture so we are informed by Lietenant
w. R. Cupp. The company will give
ball and banquet in the near future
which will be attended by the officers
of the l. N. G. and the state officers.
On this occasion the cup will be pre-
scented to the Caldwell militia COM
pany.
The target practice score card shows
that the Caldwell company has 10 ex-
pert riflemen; Is marksmen; first
class marksmen; 2 second class marks
men; and five third class marksmen.
This record when added to the record
made the year previous gives the
company all told IL expert rihemen, 2
sharpshooters, 81 marksmen, expert
pistol shooter and pistol sharpshoot-
ers. In the regiment there are only 2
expert pistol men, viz: Col. Edelblute
and Lieutenant Cupp. The expert RI
femen of the company are: Lieut.. w.
R. Cupp, Lieut.. A. M. Ley, Sar. Bruce
Lesser. Sar. c. L. Crew, Sar. F. Ha-
german, Cor. E. T. Lakin, Lawrence
Weymouth, c. J. Thurston, John
Garner, F. H. Deane, Sar. f. G. KEEL
sey and w. B. Cupp.
E. T. Lakin and c. ]. Thurston are
prospective candidates to be picked
from the entire national guard of the
state to attend the national shoot to
be held at Camp Perry, O., this year.
Candidates are selected not solely on
account of superiority at target prac-
tice. The character and habits of the
men are also taken into consideration.

The WAYS OF men
and AFFAIRS With
OUR Comment
Boise Votes Today on the
Commission Form of
Government.
PINCHOT DROPS ROBERT
Bryan Coming to Idaho to Straighten
Out the Leaders-Will Have Big
Job to Harmonic the Elements of
Party-Pure Seed Law is Causing
Great Trouble.

An election will be held at Boise
today for the purpose of determining
whether or not that city shall adopt
the commission form of government
as, provided by the so-called Black law.
The campaign has been waged most
bitterly on both sides. Ugly charges
and countercharges have been made
until every man looks with suspicion
upon his neighbor and in anger upon
former associates. 1t would seem to
one far away from the scene that the
proposed change in government would
afford principles and theories of gov
eminent sufficient for discussion with
out ringing in the character and per-
sonality of the individual. Intelligent
men may honestly differ as to the adj
visibility Of substituting the commits
sion form for government under a
special charter as Boise has at pres
ent. 1t is reasonable to assume that
the advocates of the one system are
as honest, intelligent and patriotic as
are the advocates of the other. Cities
throughout the country are we'll gov
erned under the system generally in
use in Idaho at the present time.
Cities are also well governed by COM
missioners. 1t really makes little diff
ference as to the form. The. men
who administer affairs are the real
factors. During the past few years
government by commissioners has
grown in favor, and the idea on it's
face, seems to fully justify itself. We
believe, however, that the enthusiasm
of adherents of the idea is more re-
sponsible for good results than any
intrinsic merit the idea has. Two or
three years of good government is
not sufficient to warrant any radical
change in the form of government.
For instance, Theodore Roosevelt
might be elected dictator for life as
the Moscow Post suggests and the
United States might be we'll govern
ed. But few people advocate such
course. A benevolent despot might
rule with courage, ability and pa
triotism but the next dictator might
be tyrant. So it is with municipal
commissioners. The first commits
sion might devote itself honestly to
the task at hand. The second might
devote its talents to plundering the
city, as city councils have done in
the past. The so-called Black law
attempts to compel commissioners to
work for the welfare of the people by
providing for the recall. The recall
does not necessarily offer protection.
Is it any more reasonable to suppose
that New York city would recall
Tammany officials any oftener than
they defeat Tammany tickets at the
municipal elections? There is no in
herent virtue in the recall that COM
pels city officials to work automati-
cally for the welfare of the people.
The Tribune believes in giving the
people every privilege that they will
exercise. However we would like to
see them perform the duties and exer-
else the privileges they now have be-
fore they assume others.
