SEC'Y GIBBONS
SCORES BuLLSEYE

M. H. Gibbons, the enterpriscing
secretary of the best commercial club
on earth, or, so far as we know, any
where, has scored a distinctive bulls
eye in securing for the commercial
club 1000 copies of the report of the
Immigration Commissioner, S. J.
Rich.
Mr. Rich decided to let Caldwell
have the books for distribution as they
may see fit. The report is one of the
finest that has come to The Tribune
so far, the colored plates being pro-
fuse and artistic.
Mr.. Rich is to be warmly congratu-
lated on his splendid REPORT, and ma
turally Canyon county receives its
share OF attention, being the first
county in the state agriculturally and
horticulturally. The envelopes which
contain the report will call due atten-
ton to Canyons possibilities and
probabilities, and will prove a most
valuable addition to the ammunition
of the commercial club.
The book is from the press of the
Caxton printers of this city, which
again throws glory to the busy little
city wherein many of US find pleasure
and profit, and all contentment.
Mr.. Rich has gone to infinite pains
in the preparation of the report and il
should be read with attention by
everyone, containing as it does in pro
fusion, information that is valuable
to all.

gested by Governor Haines. They
are trying to economic in every
manner possible, save by being mig
gardly. The legislature is different.
In fact the, legislature is always dif-
ferent. The real progress made by
our legislature in the way of econ
omy is not observable to the naked
eye. For the soul Of us we cannot
point out a single thing done that
will really reduce taxes. The usu-
al log-rolling for appropriations for
the state institutions Is going on as
In the past. Appropriations for some
things are being held up In order
that the appropriation for the capt.
toll building will be ample. Except
possibly the bureau of immigration,
labor and statistics, no useless Off
COS have been done away with. 1t
is generally acknowledged that more
counties mean higher taxes some
where or other, yet counties have
been created and more are to fol-
low. We have not noticed any dis
position on the part of the legisla-
ture or of any department. of state
to reduce the appropriations for any
state office. In short we know of
no saving that has been made up to
the present time.

DISTRICT COURT
IS REVERSED

The supreme court Monday hand
ed down a decision in the case of
Frank Breshears against w. T. Cal
lender, which was appealed by Cal
ender from the district court of Can
yon county. The amount involved
in the suit was the exchange of bonds
in the amount of $1,000 in the Easter
Mining & Milling Company for a
horse. The interest upon the bonds
was refused and the plaintiff brought
an action to recover from the defend
ant upon the ground that he had mis-
represented the character and the
sufficiency and value of the bonds.
The district court rendered a judg-
ment for the plaintiff in the sum Of
$1,000, but the supreme court held
that there was evidence of fraud
and reversed the decision of the lower
court. The plaintiff wanted to re-
scind the contract, but the defendant
refused to cancel it. The decision of
the court goes mainly to the cancel
lation of the contract. Upon this the
of Messrs. Thompson&
Buckner were sustained by the ST.
preme court, Hon. ]. M. Thompson
before that honorable body.

O'Neil Found Guilty.

ONell FOunO Guilty.
The second trial of B. F. O'Neil,
the Wallace banker charged with
having made false statements re-
garding the condition of the bank
Of which he was president, resulted
in finding the defendant guilty. The
trial was held at Coeurd'Alene. The
lawyers for the defendant have
asked for a new trial, and in case
this Is denied by Judge Dunn, an
appeal will be taken to the state
supreme court. Other indictments
against the defendant will not be
brought to trial until the present
case is settled. It Is now IS months
since O'Neil was brought back from
British Columbia.
The. case against Barney O'Neil
has excited widespread interest. Per-
sonally Mr.. O'Neil was a very popu-
lar man. He was we'll known and
very generally liked throughout the
state. A great many people still
believe he is the victim of a con-
spiracy, others sympathize with him
because he had risen from the
streets and come to occupy a most
prominent place in the state. They
feel that he did no worse than hum
dreds OF others have done who es-
capped punishment. 1t is ever thus.
He who fails to awaken to a stern
sense of his responsibility when the
public conscience awakens, must
meet the fate which MBarney O'Neil
met. A dozen years ago the expen-
diture of vast sums OF money by
candidates for public office excited
only the mildest comment. Now
they lead to Investigation and some
times to expulsion from office. Look
at ex-senator Lorimer of Illinois.
His friends spent too much money
and he was routed from ONCE. Be-
fore that reformers like Bourne,
Stephenson, LaFollette had spent as
much or more money in their cam
paigns and nothing was thought of
1t. The public conscience has been
aroused. 1t behooves all, whether
they are engaged in business or in
politics to look closely to the man
ner of their lives.

cookery themselves; however, he
Is strong for any improvement, either
In quality or quantity, along this
line.

Arkansas Is in Line.

Arkansas Is in Line.
Idaho has one of the best local op-
ton laws of any state in the Union.
Any attempt to amend the law so
as to grant precinct option will meet
with defeat in this or any other
legislature. The people as whole
are very we'll pleased with county
option. It has worked out great
deal better than many of us be-
lieved possible. Where the senti-
ment of the county is sufficiently
strong to vote out the saloon it will
be found that the law is pretty we'll
enforced. Where public sentiment is
otherwise enforcement Of the law
Is impractical. At least SO it has
worked out in Canyon and other
counties. 1t is gratifying to know
that Idaho is one of the most favor
ed states in the handling of the
liquor question. It is also highly
gratifying to know that other states
one by one are adopting measures
along this line which seems to meet
the peculiar conditions of that state.
Arkansas has just passed a law
that practically prohibits the sale of
intoxicating liquors within her boun-
daries. In order to get the privilege
Of selling liquors person has to
get the, majority of the white adults
within the precinct to sign a petition
asking for the license to be granted.
This makes it obligatory upon the
applicant to secure the signatures of
a great many women. This provis-
ion 1t is thought practically sup
presses the traffic.
Along the line of progress in the
suppression of the liquor traffic is
the passage of the Webb bill-a
for the Kenyon bill
which prohibits the shipment of in
liquors from one state to
to be sold in violation of
the laws of the state to which the
shipment was made. This bill will
go to the president. He will un-
sign it. Such a law will
state prohibition laws. The tenden-
cy Of the times is toward the COM
plete suppression Of the liquor traf-
flc. All recent laws in all states
point in that direction. In addition
the cause of temperance has been
promoted by many of the railroads
and other large industrial compan-
les in refusing to give employment
to men known to be addicted to
drink. Men are commencing to
realize that many avenues are closed
to them is it be known that they use
intoxicating liquors. The laws in
many instances are passed in order
to help those who cannot help them
selves.

Paying Little Attention.

hVtCuJloH.
The present session of the legis-
lature is paying little attention to
the recommendations made by Gov
ernor Haines. The Governor wanted
the legislature to set the example In
the practice of economy in govern
ment. He. addressed a message to
the legislature in which he pointed
out a great many ways in which the
expenses of government might be
reduced. He also addressed a letter
to the county and municipal officials
of the state in which he asked them
to cooperate in reducing the cost
of government. We believe that
the letter addressed to the local
officials will result in a great saving
to the taxpayers. Here in Canyon
county the oficials are showing
to work to the ends sug-
l-i.M n
