FROM THE FRONT
Hon. 5. D. Taylor Tells Of Situation
In Political Circle As He Finds
1t at Boise
SHOULD REFLECT GOV. HAINES
Tells Of Carey Act Policy In Southern
Idaho


(Taylor and wife left this morning
for their home at Boise, Idaho,
after a few days visit here with
their many friends.
Mr.. Taylor is now Carey Act
commissioner, one of the most i'm
portant appointive offices and one
which requires great tact and dip
lomacy as we'll as unlimited hard
work. But Mr.. Taylor has and is
making good.
In an interview given to the
Herald today Mr.. Taylor had the
following to say of the work IN
which he is engaged:
Irrigation is working wonde4S
in Southern Idaho i'll the way OF
recla inning the desert and making
prosperous homes. There are
three systems of financing the
various projects. One is the dis
..rict plan, organized by the settlers
themselves. A second is the gov
eminent reclamation plan, wherein
the federal government advances
the money necessary to construct
the system. The third and most
important is the reclamation OF
lands under the Carey Act. Carey
Act projects are financed by large
corporations, under contract with
the state. The Carey Act company
builds the irrigation system that
conveys the water to the lands and
is permitted to sell water rights to
the settlers to reimburse the COM
pany for its expenditures and such
additional charges as will enable 1t
to make reasonable profit. An
immense acreage has been re-
tclaimed under the Carey Act.
More than 1000, 900 acres have
been included in these projects, OF
which approximately $50, 600 acres
has been proved up on by settlers,
and over 800, COO acres have actu-
ally been placed under irrigation
aud cultivation. Over $50, 900,
600 has been expended on the con-
struction of the irrigation systems,
and the land reclaimed is worth
from $50 to $50 per acre. Spleen
did. cities have been built up on
these reclaimed areas. Several
prosperous counties have been
created where formerly all was
desert. 1t is safe to say that the
Carey Act has brought more than
500, 900, 900 of wealth to Idaho,
besides thousands of settlers.
There have been some failures oil
course, but no more than in any
other line OF business.
Asked about state politics, Mr..
Taylor stated that very little activity
had been shown as yet. He said
'Chief Justice Ailshie, Former
Governor Gooding, and Senator
Brady are in the race for U. S
Senator, and each has strong
following.
For governor, the present ex
ecutive, Gov. John M. Haines
will most likely be renominated by
the republicans without opposition

And an through these centuries that

Again this spirit Of factionalism has Ia

1t is not often that the daily papers Of
the State take interest enough in local
political battles 10 comment editorially
on the fitness or unfitness of aspirants
for Office. There are exceptional cases,
however. Saturday the Lexington Herald
contained one of these exceptional cas-
es. In speaking of Hon. w. A. Byron,
of Brooksville, KY, who formerly repre-
sented the Twenty-sixgh Senatorial dis
trict in the State Senate, the Herald paid
Mr. Byron a tribute accorded TO few
men. In part that paper said: 1--WE
think it fortunate 10 have Mr.. Byron Of
fer his services SO that the people Of the
State may have the benefit of his expe-
rience and ability in the State Senate. >
The members of both branches of
the Legislature should be men Of the
best ability. the highest character, and
thewidest experience who can be induced
10 serve. and il Is because Of this fact
that We express our pleasure that Mr..
Byron has offered himself for the Ser
ate and hope that he will be elected"
Mr.. Byron was a member of the State
Senate in 1902, and was selected BY
Gov. McCrea'y TO place his name before
the democratic caucus for United States
Senator. which nomination was con-
firmed by the Legislature. His speech
on that occasion won for him high rep
utation as an orator, which was further
augmented by his mastery address on

Parents are often puzzled as to what

conscience to have Pegasus stand useless

According TO Miss f. A. charlesworth,
Superintendent of typists at the govern
ment board, London, women in business
are believed to be less likely than men

Giving evidence before the royal COM
mission on patronage, Miss Charlesworth
stated that many employees of labor had
told her that they preferred women clerks
10 men because they were loyal to their
employers and did not communicate the
contents of documents to other people in

representative of "Womans Platform,
OF the Standard, this view is generally
held-by women in business.
One firm near the bank employs only
women clerks. and our representative,
who ventured to put the query to the
manageress, was met with the curt but
decisive answer: "Of course!" Ten
female clerks lifted ten heads from ten
leGgers. and smiled their approval where
upon the manageress commented at some
length on the disinterestedness and value
of all women clerks.
women she said. are not likely to

never with a stranger at any time, be-
cause women are instinctively loyal. They
do not, as a rule, allow business affairs
to creep into their conversation, because
they treat their busines in a much more
serious way than men. The modern busi-
ness girl knows that she is competing
with men, and she knows that men show
her no mercy in the labor market Men
are so apt to take things for granted,
and they are not so thoughtful for the
