JACKSON STOOD FOR TARIFF.

1t is we'll known to the country that
when President Jackson was serving
his first term as president. he took the
position that there should be adequate
protection for American labor and Am
erican industries and that he especially
declared that he would never stand for
any tariff policy that would open up
the flood gates to European labor and
European goods to the detriment OF
American labor and American pro-
ducts. 1t is also well known that Pres
ident Jackson was renominated on n
platform declaring for such protection
and that his majority at his second
election was much greater than at the
first.
In short, the position which Presi-
dent Jackson took on the tariff was for
the American doctrine, which is exact
ly the position of the republican party

brilliant, with the principal industl les
working to full normal capacity, with
trade distributed on continuously ex-
panding lines and with business senti-
ment becoming daily more confident
and buoyant, the whole situation both
in fundamental conditions and in v;i-
ume of transactions is better than it
has been for years.
The problems now are not those Of
depression, but those of prosperity. 1t
is no longer shortage Of orders, but
capacity to supply demand and in
some cases consumers offer premiums
for prompt delivery.
A shortage Of labor, not alone in the
wheat fields, but in some industries, 10
reported. Railroads are buying liber-
ally OF supplies and are placing heavy
advance orders, but there is prospect
of shortage OF cars to carry the traf-
flc of the country. 1t Is noticeable that
merchants now are disposed to buy
more freely for advance needs.

between the republicans themselves
that made the democratic victories
possible, and this is fact that the
democrats are well aware Of. This
year those differences do not exist. The
party leaders are working together in
harmony, working enthusiastically and
with the one object Of carrying the
election. The voters give frequent and
hearty approval to the ticket, which
Is an exceptionally strong one. The
issues Of the campaign are live and
real, and they have direct bearing
upon the interests of every individual
living in the Occur d'Alene district In
short, there is no good reason why any
man or woman in Shoshone county
should not support the republican
ticket this year and there will be a
sufficient number who do support II
and vote 1t to give the republican can
didates the much desired time ma

TWO GOVERNORS TO SPEAK.
Coming Waterways Convention to Be
One Of Most Important
Held.

LEWISTON, Aug. 29.-One of the
most important waterways conventions
ever held in the Pacific northwest will
convene at Lewiston, riday and Satur-
day, October AS, 1912. The gathering
will be known as the second annual
convention of the Columbia and snake
River Waterways association, the or
|ganization and first session of which
was held at Pasco. Wash, April Is,
1912, at which time a definite cam
paign was launched for the improve
ment of the Columbia waterway.
The Lewiston convention has adopt
ed as it's slogan Adequate Compress
sional appropriation for the immediate
completion of the Cello canal and the
opening of the Columbia and Snake
rivers to free navigation"
Among the prominent men who have
been invited to speak at the Lew ston
meeting (and the topics assigned) arc
Hon. M. E. Hay, governor of Washing
ton, 1.-THE Waterways Of the S. te of
and Hon. James II.
Hawley, governor of Idaho, How the
Open River viii Benefit My State"
One hundred and fifty commercial
organizations of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho have been invited to send
delegates to the convention, and the
governors Of Montana, Wyoming. Ne
vada, Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
as well as the congressional delega-
tions of these six states have been in
vited to participate as ex-officio dele
gates. Invitations have also been sent
to the newspaper editors of the Pacific

the states mentioned.
1t is estimated by the U. S. eugin
GERS that the sum of $1,250000 will be
sufficient to complete the Cello canal
and open the Columbia Snake river
waterway to steamboat navigation and
resolutions asking congress for this
amount will be introduced at the Lew

REPUBLICAN VICTORY ASSURED.

1t would be expecting too much to
look to the democrats for predictions
Of republican success In the coming
election in Shoshone county, and yet
1t is known that they view the situa-
ton with grave doubts, If not genuine
alarm. Many of the democratic lead
ers are known to be decidedly anxious
and not little worried over the out
look, while the republicans who are
in closest touch with the situation
are more than hopeful and certain OF
carrying the entire county ticket and
giving good majority for the repub-
lican state ticket as well.

county stands on the Threshold of a

IOAHO'S SCHOOL LAW
COMPELS ATTENDANCE
ENACTED BY eleventh SESSION
OF THE LEGISLATURE
IN 1911.

The approach Of the first day of the
fall term of school calls attention to
the regulations of the Idaho statute
governing the attendance Of children
lat school. It is probably true that the
law Is violated more frequently
through ignorance of its provisions
than through intent The section per-
tanning to compulsory education is as
follows:
Section 100. In all school districts
LOT this state, all parents, guardians
and other persons having care Of chill
dren shall instruct them, or cause them
to be instructed, in reading, writing,
spelling, English grammar geography
land arithmetic. In such districts
|every parent, guardian or other person
having charge of any child between
the ages of eight 81 and eighteen uS)
years, shall send such child to a pub
lie, private or parochial school for the
entire school year during which the
public schools are in session in such
district; Provided, however: That this
chapter shall not apply to children
over fourteen QD years of age, where
such child shall have completed the
leighth (S) grade or may be eligible to
enter any high school in such district
or where it's help is necessary for it's
own use or its parents support, or
where for good cause shown it would
be for the best interests Of such child
to be relieved from the provisions of
this chapter; Provided, further that
iii reputable physician within the dis
trict shall certify in writing that the
child's body or mental condition does
not permit its attendance at school,
such child shall be exempt during such
period Of disability from the require
ments of this chapter 1t shall re the
duty of the superintendent Of the
school district, if there be such sup
lerintendent, and if not, then the county
superintendent of schools, to hear and
determine all applications of children
desiring, for any causes mentioned
here, to be exempted from the provi-
sions of this chapter, and If upon such
such superintendent hear
| ing the same shall be of the opinion
that such child for any reason is en-
titled to be exempted as aforesaid,
then such superintendent shall issue a
written permit to such child, stating
therein his reason for such exemption.
An appeal may be taken from the de-
cision Of such superintendent SO pass
ing upon such application, to the pro-
bate court of the county in which such
district lies, upon such child making

THREATENED COAL STRIKE.

1t looks now as If the threatened
coal strike in this country would be
aareality on April 1. Representatives
of the miners and the operators have
met and failed to come to al agree
ment. The men want more wages
and the operators absolutely refuse
to grant their request. AS both sides
refused to give in, there was nothing
to do and the conference broke up.
1t is now declared by the operators
that the matter is up to the public.
If there is an increase in wages 1t
must be added to the retail price of
coal. 1t remains to be seen who will
win.
AS was the case in the former
strike, If the miners go out on the
first of April as they now threaten,
ahe general-public will be the great
estssufferer, Ever since the former
strike we have been paying a dollar
more on the ton than we did before,
There is no doubt that the cost of
that strike has been made up many
times over by this increase in the
4-asr-
price of coal, The operators con-
tinue to pile up their millions, how
ever, and pay large dividends on
their stock, but when their employees
ask for q fair advance to keep
abreast with the added increase in
the cost of living, the operators re
fuse unless the public shall pay the
difference. In other words. the oper-
ators who are now making millions
of dollars, refuse to reduce their own
incomes in the least, but tell the
miners that II they want more pay
they must get it from the public.
Ths fact thai the people r thus
brought into the matter al a third
party Is a reasonable excuse for the
government taking a hand in this
difncuity. Either there should be

PLAYGROUND misunderstood

1t is very plain that. a great many
people of this city are still in ignor-
ance as to what a playground really
means. Some cannot. get the idea
out of their head that a playground
is merely an open lot where the
children are turned lose to enjoy
themselves to their hearts content.
1t is on this supposition that the
objection arises, claiming that the
playground will be too noisy and
Will be a nuisance to the neighbor-
hood In which it Is located.
1t should be understood that the
playground is in charge Of a compe-
tent instructor who regulates the
play of the youngsters and sees to it
that everything is carried on in an
orderly and satisfactory manner He
trains the children to be fair and
honorable in their fun and; at the
same time, shows them how to use
their amusement in a way that will
be of the greatest benefit to them.
Not until the playground Is thor
oughIy established will the people
get a correct idea of what 1t is like.
But even then the typical play
ground, as it is known in many
places, will hardly be realized, as
there is no roo on the site selected
here to lay out baseball diamonds,
tennis courts, skating Kinks and
other sources of amusement which
go to make UP such a field.
The playground, as 1t is proposed
for Perth Amboy, however, can be
made very complete and will answer
the purpose IN every way until the
city is prepared to go further in the
matter. Once the people who live in
the vicinity of Lewis street and
Madison avenue find out what the
playground is. we believe they will
change their opinion entirely as to
It's objections.

HI AMBoY D

There is no good reason why the
state should not take over the con
troll of the Amboy bridge across the
Raritan river. This structure has
become an absolute necessity to the
public and, during the summer, Is
used far more by people living out
side of Middlesex county than it is
by local residents.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been appropriated to dig a ditch
in the southern end of the state to
connect some of the bays and water
ways, which is of absolutely no use;
more thousands of dollars are being
appropriated to build an ocean
boulevard from Atlantic Highlands
to Cape May. Besides these, the agi-
tation is now an for the state tostake
over the more important roads which
connect the various county seats. 1t
would seem, therefore, that the
simple request of the state to pro-
vide for the maintenance of the Am
boy bridge is no more than fair,
This bridge is, perhaps, the long
"HHf "H
est wagon bridge in the state. There
is nothing like 1t anywhere. It's
necessity cannot be disputed and
Middlesex county has rendered a
great aid to the public by having the
bridge constructed. 1t cannot be de-
MED, however, that 1t is expensive to
keep In repair and, as the state at
large cannot now do without 1t, it
being the main highway for the auto
traffic between the cities and the
coast resorts, the state should as
sumo the expense. Senator silzer's
bill now before the legislature to
that effect is a Just measur and
should be passed.
