THE NEWS LET'S OUT A Wall

The Caldwell News in its last issue
took Hon. VIM. Balderston to task
because he had seen fit to have final
proof notices published in Republi-
can newspapers. 1t is a heinous Of
fence and Mr.. Balderson should alter
his ways. The idea of giving adver-
tisements to friendly newspapers is
entirely wrong. They should be given
to political enemies Of course in the
ordinary course of business we pa
tronize those we like best, or those
who give US the best service. Once
you find yourself in public Office you
should Immediately adopt the oppo-
site course. The News don't do it,
neither does anybody else-but what
matters that? 1t is theory we are
now advocating-to heck with prac-
tice.
We do not know what the News is
politically. We have been told that
it has Democratic tendencies. If so
at the proper time it will support the
Democratic party; advocate Demo-
cratic principles and shout for Demo-
cratic candidates. Suppose the Demo-
Gratis should win in county, state and
nation. The News would be the very
first one to demand its share of the
fruits of victory. 1t would ask for
the county printing and undoubtedly
get it; it would ask for a portion of
the work from the state Offices and
undoubtedly get it; it would demand
the final proof notices, and deserved
ly get them. In case the Democrats
should elect their candidate for the
presidency, Mr.. Balderston would be
one of the first to get what was COM
ing to him. Can any sensible man
blame him for not giving aid and sue
cor to his enemies? We think not.
1t is not human nature.
1t is simply a matter of common
sense and ordinary business. The
News has patrons who for one reason
or another would not give The Tri-
bune chance even to bid on Job
work. That is their business. We
have no just complaint because they
feel that way toward us. To their
minds there is good and sufficient
reason for the position they take. The
News should feel the same way
toward patrons of this office. 1t
should not take to heart the fact that
public official does not see fit to
give it his Office printing and adver-
Using.

Wherein Little Children Could Lead
Them.

| The press reports brought the item
yesterday that children of Spokane.
| over 2OO of them-are going to school
hungry and unfed, and says nothing
about their fathers and mothers, nor
does it say about Seattle and Tacoma
and other larger cities of the state.
Spokane is typical small western
city, with the abundance and freedom
and generous impulses common to
| the west, and with its exemptions
from the hard, sordid and cynical en-
vironment that attaches to the larger,
older and more crowded cities of the
east. Still, in Spokane. in the land of
Righteousness and opportunity, little
children are going to school unfed.
Meantime the state of Washington
and the city of Spokane have in
dulged themselves in the exploitation
OF government with an eagerness and
intensity that not even Oregon or
Kansas has surpassed. Practically
every power that can be invested in
government has already been so in
vested or is in process of being So.
Everything is duly and nicely regu-
lated, from exclusive governmental
occupation of the forests and the va
can't phblic domain down to the hours
IN which women may earn an honest
| living, and as to cigarettes, hotel
sheets and tips. The whole progress
sivized system is in operation there,
even to the prohibition of child labor
but the little children are going to
| school unfed, the innocent, tender.
trustful little children, for whom
most parents would cheerfully walk
into their open graves if it would save
| them from care and pain. Washing
ton has it all settled to formula
about how to hold elections, about
how to regulate corporations, about
how to restrain mankind, about how
to protect the forests and the lands
from the people, about how to pre-
vent error and excess and all the rest
Or thinks it has-and the only
trouble so far with the system is that
int hasn't learned how to keep the lit
tile children from having to 20 to
school hungry and shoeless, pinched
and wan. 1t now has only Just one
little lesson to learn, and it has mere
ly to go back a few thousand years to
learn that. That simple lesson is, not
what gives the politicians more pow
err and spoil. but what gives the peo-
pie more work and opportunity. One
thing certain is that governmental
ism does not make opportunity, but
destroys it; does not create wealth.

the district is inadequately supplied
with water The proposed drainage
system will reclaim the swamp lands;
protect low but still uninjured lands,
and provide water for other lands.
After thorough investigation the
board of directors decided that it was
the part of wisdom to take early pre-
caution against an excess of water in
some parts and a dearth of water in
other parts. With this in view they en-
gagged Mr.. Hedden to make prelim-
mary survey together with an esti-
mate of the cost of the works. This
was done with the result that the
board decided to submit the question
to the people of the district. The Tri-
bune commends the action of the d.
rectors We believe that they have
acted wisely and for the best interests
of the district. We believe that the
farmers generally will approve of
their action and authorize the bond
issue.
The district is in good condition
financially will be seen by the fl
nancial statement which appears else
where in this issue of The Tribune.
There are very few outstanding war
rants and most of these have been
called in The interest on the bonds
has been paid promptly and there is
ample funds in the treasury for the
purpose of taking up the bonds now
due. The system is in good condition
and the maintenance cost will be less
year by year from now on. The pro-
posed bond issue will work no hard
ship on the people in the way of
taxes. 1t will simply reclaim the land
already swamped and provide against
any more land being injured in this
manner. 1t will also increase the wa
ter supply of the district, We are
firmly convinced that the people can
not afford to let this opportunity pass
without providing for the future. In
one way or another every farmer in
the district is directly interested in
this bond issue.

THE PIONEER IRRIGATION
DISTRICT.

A bond election will be held in the
Pioneer Irrigation district, Friday,
FEB. y, for the purpose of voting upon
the question of issuing bonds in the
sum OF $330,2oO.OO. If the bond issue
be authorized the board of directors
viii Immediately take steps toward
he construction of complete drain
age system for the district; which in
addition to draining marsh lands will
also supplement the water supply of
the district. A competent engineer,
Mr., Ed Hedden, has thoroughly in
Vestigated the condition of the dis
trict and has submitted a plan that
is both physically and financially
practical. The action of the board of
directors was taken in response to
the demands of the situation and of
the farmers living under the district
canals.
This section OF the country is now
confronted with the condition that
mas sooner or later confronted every
section which is compelled to rrigate.
In many sections drainage was post
poned for so long that thousands of
acres were permanently injured and
in many cases absolutely ruined. 1t
is thought that by providing drainage
at this time little land will have been
injured permanently. 1t is a fact that
there is considerable land at present
under the canals that is useless with
out drainage. The amount of land
rendered useless in this manner will
increase year after year unless some
thing is done. 1t is also a fact that

There are exceptions to be sure
There are three or four men and
women in Caldwell who are success
full school teachers. In anger they
may slap a child but they try to con-
troll themselves. We readily see that
strong provocation might excite a
well balanced man or woman to shake
UP a child, but that man or woman
would not defend his action after he
had cooled off. He would not insist
upon maintaining his right to shake
up children as he saw fit. He would
probably be ashamed of himself. At
any rate he should be.

hos position in regard to the differ
ent candidates for the Republican
nomination for president. Those who
desire to attend the state convention
should avail themselves of an early op-
portunity to make known their pref
erence to the people of the county.
The Tribune is convinced that the
sober minded, substantial Republi-
cans of Canyon county are heartily
in favor of the denomination OF
President Taft. If so they must be
careful at the primaries to elect only
| Taft men to the state convention. Ida
no should send an instructed delega-
ton to the Chicago convention. There
are some slippery politicians in this
state and such ducks should be given
no opportunity to sidestep the in
structions or desires of their constit-
uency. The mandate of the conven-
ton should be clear, direct and un-
| equivocal 1t should instruct for
Taft first, last and all the time. There
is no question but that the people of
Idaho endorse the Taft administration
and that they want to see him re-
nominated and reelected. There is
tendency in some quarters toward
insurgency but this will amount to
but very little. The people of Idaho
do not want La Toilette; Cummins
is joke; and they have had enough
of Roosevelt for the time being.
The next national campaign will
have to be fought out by the Republi-
cans on the record of the Taft adj
ministration. No matter who the
nominee may be he will have to appeal
for support on the record made by
the persent administration. That rec=
rod is so good that there are any
number of Republicans who would
accept the nomination at the hands
of the Chicago convention, and make
their campaign on the accomplish
ments of President Taft. Even Roose
welt and LaFollette have not been able
to justly criticize President Taft on
any matter of importance. If either
had been president he would have
done what Taft has done, provided
he had the courage and ability, only
in little different manner. Roosevelt
or La Toilette would have retained
Jimmy Garfield in the cabinet and let
Clifford Pinchot run things to suit
himself. President Taft grievously
| offended Roosevelt when he insisted
upon forming his own cabinet and
running his own administration. The
people of the country will not feel
bad that President Taft insisted upon
being president after they elected him
to that position. If they had wanted
Roosevelt they would have pressed
him into the service. If they had
wanted the Wisconsin statesman all
they had to do was to say so. If Cum
minis had been the man he was avail
able then as much as now. The people
wanted Taft; they nominated TAFT,
elected Taft, and Taft has been presi-
dent; and the best one since Lincoln.
The state and national conventions
are long way in the future, but it is
we'll for the people to remember that
they are approaching rapidly. The
people of Idaho are directly interested
in the stand this state shall take at
the Chicago convention. They can
not afford to overlook the primaries

PROVIDE WORK FOR COUNTY
PRISONERS.

The board of county commissioners
is considering methods of employ
ment for prisoners under sentence in
the county Jail. There has been on
an average of five prisoners in the
Jail for several months past. These
men have nothing to do but play cards
and read and the county officials are
of the opinion that the prisoners
themselves as we'll as the county
would be better off if they were other
wise employed at least a part of the
time. We are also informed by Clerk
Stovel, that the county has been COM
PEELED to maintain the families of two
of those confined in the Jail for some
time past Maintenance of the Jail
and support of the families of the
prisoners is becoming very expensive
and will continue to get more so as
the county increases in population.
These prisoners should be put to work
in some way or another. Clerk Sto-
vel suggested that the county and
city join hands. He proposes that
the county buy rock crusher, and
as Caldwell already has stone quar-
ny the two could work together to the
advantage of each other. This rock
could be put upon the city streets
and county roads The rock crusher
is something the county needs. A
similar arrangement might be made
with the other towns or the crushed
rock could be furnished them at cost.
This system would profitably employ
the prisoners and in few years build
up at least few good roads.
The employment of prison labor on
the roads and other public improve
ments is occupying the attention of
great many people. Experience has
taught those who have made a study
of our prison system that the men are
better physically and morally for be-
ing compelled to work. Under the
present system, especially in the
county jails, the prisoners spend their
time in idleness, either bemoaning
their fate or plotting revenge. So
ciety as whole is really worse for
having sent the average man to Jail,
unless his perverted ideas and crimi-
nal tendencies are changed by incar-
ceration. The idea of punishment for
crime was long ago abandoned. We
now restrain, for two purposes, viz:
in order that society may be protect
ed and in order to reform the criminal.
Incarceration and enforced idleness
may do the former for the time being
but it certainly does not do the latter.
The Tribune would like to see the
county commissioners work out some
scheme for the employment of pris-
oners in the county Jail. The rock
crusher and quarry combination of
Clerk Stovel's is the best that readily
suggests itself. This labor would in
no wise compete with free labor; it
is close at hand and one guard could
handle dozen men; the roads need
the rock and the prisoners need the
labor. We understand that at the
next session of the board the problem
will be thoroughly discussed. In the
meantime the general public is invit-
ed to express its opinion, either
through the press or in private con-
versation with the county officials.

POINT IN UNDERWEAR
FIT AND QUALITY HAVE lMpOR
rANT DRESS VALUE.
Chic in Dress Is More Than Surface
DeeP-Carelessly Chosen Under.
Garments Can Spoil the Fit
Of Any Costume.

The French have n saying that chic
In dress is more than surface deem.
and those who are acquainted with
the attention the French woman gives
her underclothes understands the
meaning of the assertion.
Carelessly chosen undergarments
can spoil the fit of dress quite as
much as dressmaker Therefore the
fit and quality of the underclothes are
decidedly important factors in the eff
feet one wishes to achieve in n cos
tune.
In making underclothes, or In buy
ing them, n keen eye must be kept
for right proportions. 1t is useless
to hope that the back or armhole of a
blouse or coat will fit satisfactorily
over bullying combination suit or cor
set cover.
Underclothes should not only fit
carefully about the shoulders and arm
holes, but also about the waist and
over the hips. Petticoats should not
only hang correctly in the matter of
length, but they should not gather in
unsightly wrinkles at the back, ride"
up In front, or wrinkle over the hips.
And 1T is not enough that under
clothes fit properly. They must be
put on carefully. They must be ad-
justed so that there are no lines or
wrinkles in the wrong places. What
fullness there is must be put where
ii belongs.
But this care not only means that
ones dress will look better, but that
the underclothes will wear better. II
the underclothes are so adjusted that
they will not pull or wrinkle where
they should not, there will be no
strained seams or stretched laces or
embroideries. Thus they will last
longer.
So that care with the underclothes
achieves not only chic, but also. econ.
omy.
