And now the Father of Christendom
focuses the attention of the world
upon these Infamous acts. From the
Chair of Peter he denounces them and
places those guilty Of them under the
severest spiritual censure. If they re-
not grant it to them without being
empowered by his bishop to do so.
The words Of the Holy Father are:
I'VE wish, therefore, to reserve to the
local Ordinaries the power of absolv-
Ing penitents from such crimes in the
sacred tribunal of Pehance." In this
way the Holy See emphasizes the
Nervousness of deeds due to sordid
greed of gain. The heart of the Faith
er Of Christendom is saddened by the
knowledge of the wrongs done the
weak and defenseless victims in whose
behalf he raises his voice. "Our
mind" he writes, rs stricken with
horror and we feel the deepest pity
for that unhappy race. What, indeed,
is SO cruel and SO barbarous as for

THE CHAIRMEN.

The Tribune would congratulate the
Republicans of the state on the choice
Of Geo. A. Day, land commissioner
for state chairman. Other able men
were mentioned for this position. Any
of these would have made good in the
position, but we cannot help but think
Mr.. Day was the best and most avail
able man.
In Mr.. Hawkins the party in Canyon
county has splendid executive. Mr..
Hawkins has had great experience in
conducting political campaigns; is a
Republican of many years standing; a
man of broad mind and deep insight.
He will give the campaign the time
and attention it should receive.
The retiring county chairman, Mr..
Gowen, is retained on the executive
committee and will be able to render
much valuable service. Mr.. Gowen
has served for six vars as chairman
and for two years previous as a men,
Der OF the executive committee. He
has devoted his time unselfishly to the
welfare of his party. The campaigns
he has conducted were successful. In
his time he has built up an organiza-
ton that is invincible in the county.
Great credit is due Mr.. Gowen.

THE BOOSTER SPIRIT.

This is year that the Booster Spirit
should be abroad in this fair Idaho
and. The smaller towns should catch
it, and demonstrate their ability to get
out and let the advantages of their
town be known.
This spirit has far reaching effect
in curing many of the ills that are felt
to exist in communities.
Communities are much like indi-
viduals in this respect. They get a
notion that they are at outs with
someone and they carry that notion
about until it becomes a fact with
them; when these two individuals are
brought together in some way it usu-
ally happens that there is nothing
really serious between them. So it
is with the community, and any ener-
getic move with tendency to awaken
these people to the fact that they have
no quarrel with each other is a good
thing and should be encouraged.
Keep the good work up, even though
1t does take a little extra gasoline
and an occasional day away from your
business. Boosting is part of good
religion because it assists people in
dwelling together in unity. The bust
ness and professional men of Caldwell
should visit every section of Canyon
county at least twice a year. If you
should go out now and see what the
farmer is doing; see the bountiful
crops of all kinds; see the vast i'm
provements that are being made, you
would be the better satisfied with
your county, your neighborhood, and
yourself.

original leader in the state, Arthur
Allen, sprung into prominence as the
managing editor of Democratic news

but Democrat; the chief adviser in
the state, c. 0. Broken, was a Demo-

few years has been everything that
the Capital News has been, and that
has been everything except Repub-

has never really known what he is. He

itics. The same can be truthfully said
of the lesser lights; Cooper. HURT,
Ross, French and Plowhead No one
would class any one of these five as
Republicans in any sense of the word.

WILSON A SORRY FIGURE

Woodrow Wilson, Democratic NOM
inee for the presidency, is cutting a
sorry figure in the campaign. As
freely predicted by The Tribune, he
is unable to arrive at political man.
hood. He is still the school teacher.
His speech of acceptance fell fiat.
Later addresses have added nothing to
his prestige. The result is that the
managers of his campaign have re-
quested him to seclude himself at Sea-
grit. He will make a few speeches
during the campaign and these will be
carefully edited before they are given
70 the press. This is the pitiful posi-
ton occupied by the candidate of the
Democratic party. Meanwhile the de-
feated candidates before the Baltimore
convention are simply. attending to
their own particular knitting. 1t is
true that Hon. Champ Clark will make
few speeches in Maine and other
eastern states; but Mr.. Clark is doing
this because he will be a candidate
for the speakership in case the Demo-
Gratis keep control of the national
house of representatives. He cares not
a cuss whether Woodrow Wilson is
elected or not. In the meantime what
has become of Harmon, Hearst and
other prominent Democratic leaders?
Harmon and his followers have flew
the coop. While Hearst is undecided
whether he will support the ticket or
not. The probabilities are that he
will not Col. Watterson and Col.
Harvey have not enthused for several
months now. Where is Dubois
Where are the well-known, tried
Democrats? That question is up to
echo, whose particular business is to
answer such questions.
The facts are that the great major
ity of the Democrats never wanted
Wilson as their candidate. After the
nominating convention they accepted
him on probation. They thought that
he might arise to the dignity and re-
sponsibility Of his position. They are
finding that he is not of presidential
calibre with the result that all enthu-
siasm has effervesced. The candidate
stands high and dry; alone and con-
temptible were it not that he is so |
Ditiful.
