HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and
remain healthy are those who pre-
pare their systems in advance Of
baby's coming. Unless the mother
aids nature in its prenatal work the
crisis finds her system unequal to
the demands made upon it, and she
is often left with weakened health
or chronic ailments. No remedy
is so truly a help to nature as
Mothers Friend, and no expectant
mother should fail to use it. It
relieves the pain and discomfort
caused by the strain on the liga-
ments, makes plant and elastic
those fibres and muscles which ma
ture is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the
Inflammation of breast glands. The
system being thus prepared by
Mothers Friend dispels the fear
that the crisis may not be safely
met. Mothers Friend assures a
speedy and complete recovery for

RATIFICATION OF THE NATIONAL
PLATFORM AND CANDIDATES.

The Republican party of Idaho here
by reaffirms its unfaltering allegiance
to the principles of the Republican
party as exemplified in the splendid
administrations of Presidents McKin-
ey Roosevelt and Taft. We ratify and
endorse the nominations made by oui
National Convention at Chicago fol
President and Vice President, and the
progressive and constructive platform
VI principles there adopted. While rec
OgniZing that there existed honest diff
ferences of opinion concerning the
choice of candidates, we feel that the
best interests of our State require the
continuance in power of a Republican
National Administration. In this be-
lief, and with confidence in the result,
we pledge to each other and to Repub-
licans everywhere our earnest, ener-
getic and loyal support of William H.
Taft for President, and James S. Sher-
man for Vice President President
Taft has been a firm and consistent
friend of the West, and particularly of
the State of Idaho, as is shown by his
attitude toward such purely Western
questions as the Borah-Jones three
year homestead bill, the various recla-
nation acts, the restoring to public en-
try of large areas of agricultural land
enormously supposed to be chiefly
mineral in character, and particularly
by his order restoring to the State of
Idaho 100000 acres of it's public school
lands which had been included within
forest reserves and of whose use the |
State had been unjustly deprived.

tiers, especially when the brutality is
accompanied by a not too strong mind
tehy can not expect that such natures
will be unaffected by it,
1t is true that this has been a bit
ter campaign. The charge of SANDER
however, remains to be proved es-
pecially insofar as the names of Presi-
dent Taft and Govrnor Wilson are
brought into the matter. 1t is true
that Colonel Roosevelt has denied
some of the charges that have been
made in their behalf, but it is also un-
fortunately true that some of his de-
malls have been proved false by the
prepondering and sworn testimony of
disinterested parties in the campaign
funds probe, for instance. 1t is true
that the colonel has been charged with
an ambition to overturn the prece-
dent which prohibits more than two
terms of the presidency and that it
has been said that this bar removed
there would be no limit to his ambi-
ton. That of course cannot be proved,
for we cannot read the colonel's mind,
nor can we predict. unfortunately,
what he will do regards presidential
terms from what he has said in the
past that he will do.
This much is certain. The cam
paign has been bitter. But in all the
history of the campaign there are no
more slanderous statements and no
more bitter and malevolent attacks
than those made by Colonel Roosevelt
upon Mr. Taft; and it is evident that
the quarrel was not of the presidents
seeking, that it was as a knife wound
to him whose every instinct, us re-
vealed in yesterdays telegram was
conciliatory, deeply friendly and re-
gretful of the untoward situationa-
ton.
Bitterness there was in this cam
Daign, It's true. Bitterness was the
seed of the murderous attack upon the
colonel but the record of the cam
paien will show that the seed was
planted neither by nor in behalf OF
either President Taft or Governor
Wilson.

ENDORSEMENT OF COMPRESSION.
AL DELEGATION.

We heartily endorse the effort made
by the Republican members in Con-
gress to secure constructive Republi-
can legislation, and to prevent the en-
actment into law of destructive Demo
cratic policies and we commend to the
people of Idaho such able assistance as
has been rendered In this convention
by our delegation in Congress, Sena-
tors Hepburn and Borah and Repre-
sentative French. We especially COM
mend to the voters of Idaho the bril-
liant and constructive craftsmanship
shown by Senator Borah as evidenced
by his successful advocacy of such
important questions as the three-year
homestead bill, the direct election of
senators and his work for the estab-
lishment of a bureau of child labor,
and the enactment of other progressive
measures.

DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

The direct primary law passed by a
Republican Legislature and wisely
amended by the succeeding Legisla-
ture, has placed in the hands of the
people the nomination of all State and
County officers. Further amendments
to this law will from time to time be-
come necessary, and such desirable
amendments as experience may sug-
gest we pledge the party to enact We
declare at the present time that this
law should be so amended as to require
each voter at the time of registration
to declare his party affiliations to the
end that voting of the primary ticket
of one party by members of any other
party may be prevented Such an
amendment was passed by the last Re-
publican Legislature and we denounce
as petty, party politics the act Of the
Democratic Governor of this State in
vetoing it. We condemn the Demo-
cratic party of this State for it's at
tempt to nullify the provisions of the
Direct Primary Law by fixing up
States" of candidates for the various
offices, State and County, and pre-
venting more than one candidate from
filing for each office, in order that
members of the Democratic party may
help nominate Republican candidates
at the primary election.

MIR. TAFT SINCERE HEART.

The gentle dignity of President
Taft's message to Colonel Roosevelt
yesterday stands out in trying time
like a beacon in the night, and reveals
the sincere heart and the goodness
of soul of the president as it has been
revealed at no other time. 1t has the
true note of a deep feeling; it is with
out faint. of theatricalsm; somehow
hope and pray for your speedy re-
covery without suffering" his words
carry a conviction that is unmistaka
BILE. There is nothing in them of a
matter of form.
AS revealed in that, his message, the
president is seen to be that which we
know him to be, a man to whom the
scurrilous villification which had it's
inception in the pre-conyention cam
paign has been as knife wound. Mr..
Taft is a home-body of a person, deep
in his frienships, sincere in his pnr-
poses, and honest in his convictions.
His message yesterday reveals the
deep foundations of that firm friend
ship for Colonel Roosevelt which was
so long an example, and reveals them
in such a way as to convince us that
it was not through his seeking that the
friendship was disrupted.
We cannot, perhaps unfortunately
escape the obvious comparison of this
fine manifestation of deep feeling, sin
cerity, and fine sentiment with the
Colonel Roosevelt's acts Immediately
following the shooting were tinged
Not that we have the slightest sym

property in the year 1911, before the
necessary changes in our fixed 1evies,
based upon lower valuation, could be
made, thus causing all the taxpayers
and particularly those of the farming
class, to pay largely increased and I'M
necessary taxes. The present reye-
nue. law, while being an improvement
in some particulars over the old law, is
still far from being a solution of the
tax problem, and we pledge the Repub-
lican party to further legislation to
correct existing evils.
