F Farmer's Day
at Gooding
Idaho.

Governor Haines addressed
the people at Gooding on
Farmers Day, July. 10 in a we'll
prepared talk on local conditions
and needs. and the attitude OF
the state government towards
new and old settlers.
The'e governor began his speach
with a complement to the people
of southern Idaho for the mar
velous development OF the last
few years.
He spoke heartily in favor of
agriculture as a part of the edu
cation of both boys and girls in
the schools.
The governor next spoke OF the
efforts of the state to encourage
agriculture by establishing the
Carey Act Commission; the work
OF the extension department Of
the State University; Aud the
work OF the Live Stock Sanitary
Board.
All these things show the
active interest of the state and
OF all interests in the state TO-
wards farming and its activities
The governor pleaded for CO.
operation OF all, and especially
of the older residents of the state
to assist the new comers who
are not acquainted with our
local conditions.
Two noteworthy subjects which
are OF vital interest to the apri-
cultured industries were touched
upon. The governor advocates
a constitutional amending pro-
viding Tor a more rapid sale of
state lands SO that the land will
grow more rapidly and so reduce
the taxation required for govern
mental purposes; the other was,
that there should be new arrang-
nlent in the bonding of irriga-
ton districts so that the lands
will not maturegfor twenty-five
or thirty years.
The whole address gave evid-
ence OF much careful thought,
and evidences the active interest
ot our governor in the farming
community and in every thing
connected with the welfare of
the Idaho Farmer.

A Worthy
Charity.

The children's Home Finding
and Aid Society of Idaho is do
ing a splendid work in our state.
The name OF the organization
shows the broad scope of its
philanthropic work. There is
no nohler or crater work than
that can be done by this society,
having as its members and
patrons the greatest and best OF
our state.
Not yet six years since it's org
anization the society has done
and IS doing splendid work.
Orphan children are placed in
good homes and so given the
opportunity of becoming useful
and good members of society.
All sociologists know that the
home is the best environment
for children. and this society is
taking up the little derelicts of
humanity and putting them
where they can have all oppor-
tunitieS that came to all in the
environments of a good home.
While the little children are in
the care of the efhceint super1nt-
endent and his aides according
to their age and advancement
they are taught in the school
room attached to the home,
Here they are taught the ord
mary branches of learning and
in addition vocational work, as
sewing etc.
The organization is in need OF
funds to carry on this work. 1t
has not yet received the support
it deserves.
We advocate an appropriation
by the Legislature to keep the
work gong. Anything that
aims at the betterment of the
little mo therless and fatherless
boys and girls of the state has
our support, and the support
both moral and financial of
every member of the Community.

Says Money Act
Can't be Passed.

There are a whole lot of people
who are not enthusiastic over
Senator Penrose, but none of
them who have followed the
giant from Pennsylvania very
closely, entertain mistaken no
tions as to his political sagacity,
and his accuracy of conditions in
the Senate. Penrose makes few
prophesles, so that Importance
may be attached to his state
ment that there is not the slieh h.
test likelihood of currency legis
lation at this session." Senator
Penrose bases his prophecy upon
the anti-tariff revision program
III the Senate, which he claims
will consume all the summer.
ard make it possible to put
through any other general legis-
lation like that of currency
measure. His inference is that
the currency legislation will go
over until next winter, and in
this opinion he is supported by
many other Senators and Re
presentatives. However Presid
ent Wilson, who is having his
own way, says the special ses-
sion must pass this legislation.
And we are yet to see who is
guessing correctlyl
