Judge Alton B. Parker, late Demo-
cratic candidate for President, is to be
congratulated upon having the courage
of his convictions. In the face of the
growing sentiment in his party for re-
call of Judiciary he boldly declared in
an address before the South Carolina
Bar Association the other day that
recall of the judges spells in the ulti-
mate result a recall of the judicial sys-
tenn and the substitution of the vigi-
lance committee. Brave words, these,
and as true as they are fearless.

The Des Moines Register and
Leader, an able and influential sup
porter of Senator Cummins. is to be
credited with a plain statement of
fact coupled with some good advice.
In recent editorial article it de-
clared:
President Taft will be renominated
on the first ballot: certainly on the
second, or not at all. The Iowa dele
cation will in no way determine that
result.
In case the President is not to be
renominated, of what advantage will
it prove to Senator Cummins to have
engaged in a bitter contest here at
home to make sure that the President
is not the second choice OF his dele
gates?"

GREAT INTEREST IN MEET
INGS AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The meetings which were COM
menced at the Christian church last
Sunday have been a success from
the beginning. Even on Monday
night the main part of the house was
filled with people. The large chorus
composed of forty voices is making
music which attracts large numbers
of people. The sermons are plain
gospel sermons, and the entire services
have been made attractive and profit
able. ...1.
Mr.. George Walter Scott, a soloist
and chorus leader of large experience,
is in charge of the music. Mr.. Scott
has rich baritone voice, which is
very effective in leading large Choir
uses. His solos are interpreted with
very deep feeling. In fact, all OF
Mr.. SCOTS solos are surrounded with
perfect musical atmosphere. 1t is
worth any ones time to hear this man
sing. Sunday morning Mr.. Scott will
sing the solo, There Will Be No
Tears in Paradise; Sunday evening,
"Be Merciful To Me-" written by the
author of the "Holy City"
Besides Mr.. SCOTS solos each even
ing, there are other special musical
numbers Next Monday evening the
children's chorus will sing some spe-
cial hymns.
Already there have been a number
to respond to the gospel invitation
and publicly confess their faith in
Christ. Others are interested and all
ore urged to pause in the mad rush of
everyday life and consider some of the
more important questions of the soul,
the bible, salvation. God and eternity.
Every man ought to realize that he is
more than an animal and give his soul
a chance.
The Bible school is held Sunday
morning at 1890, followed by the
regular preaching at 1880. The Sum
day evening service is held at 7:3O;
every night during the week at 7:4s,
except Saturday night when there will
be no services. The meetings will con-
tinue throughout the coming week,
and perhaps longer. All are most well
come. D. B. TITUS,
Pastor and Evangelist.

CHARGES news
HDIRTY WORK

Caldwell Idaho, October 10, 1872
Editor Caldwell Tribune, Caldwell
Idaho:-Dear sir: l thank you for
your kind offer to publish statement
from me through the columns of your
paper relative to the controversy be-
tween the editor of the Caldwell
News and myself. As is we'll known,
my opponent in this campaign. the
editor of the News, in his issue of
September 10th, stated editorially that
the total value of lumber in Canyon
county showed $1,000. personally
tcalled his attention to the fact that
instead of the various lumber dealers
of Canyon county being assessed at
$1,000. the records show $4,000 in
round numbers. He agreed to make
| correction of this statement in his
issue of the 3rd instant He made
the retraction in such a way as to
mislead the public Then again in his
issue of the 10th instant he has more
to say editorially on this question,
and makes the unwarranted statement
that if did not assess the lumber
dealers at $4,000 have then laid my
self liable to a $500 fine for not
making the proper classification. I
wish here to challenge the editor of
the Caldwell News to cite one soli-
tary instance where I have failed to
comply with the law literally in this
matter of the lumber assessments. l
further charge him with a deliberate
attempt to misconstrue and misinter-
pref the public records for the sole
purpose of gaining votes for himself
1t is true that the law provides that
the assessor shall classify personal
property according to forms prepared
by the state auditor, and l suggest
her that if the editor of the News will
take the pains to carefully examine,
not only the law in this matter, but
also the printed blanks furnished by
the state auditor for abstracting, he
Der as bought and sold by our local
dealers, but the manufactured product
as found in the mills. AS matter of
fact in Canyon county at the present
time we have only one saw mill-the
McNish mill of Emmett-and it was
the lumber of this institution that
classified as lumber, and which is
distracted, carrying the said value of
%UUU. 1t should be borne in mind
that the various lumber yards Of Can
yon county carry coal, sash, doors,
cement, etc. 1t must, therefore, be
apparent to anyone who reflects on
this matter at all that it would be
impossible to classify their stocks
under any other name than merchan-
disc, which l did.
/ grant my opponent perfect right
to attack me on the general grounds
as Republican, if he so wishes, as
that is mater of opinion and never
proves nor disapproves anything. l
deny him the right to deliberately
misrepresent the work which l have
actually done.
l am candidate for reelection upon
my record and shall be perfectly will
ing to abide by the decision of the
voters on the 5th of next November.
| have given my very best energies
to the duties imposed by my Office
and expect to be judged accordingly.
