KEEP THE REAL ISSUES IN MIND.

The election is growing near, and every day and
night between now and election day Republicans should
keep in mind that, no matter what they hear from the ros-
trums, the real issue this year is, shall the Democratic
president and congress be given a vote of confidence for
what they have done since March, 1913, and given a letter
of credit to go on in their work" All outside of that.
practically, is buncombe. To vote Democratic would
mean an endorsement of tariff assassination, an endorse
ment of the charging of tolls to American coast shipping
II they seek to pass through the Panama canal; an afirma-
ton that we have no interest in seeing the American mer-
chant marine restored to its old place on the sea; that we
believe it is right to place American working men on a
par with the naked workers of Cuba, and the pauper hosts
of China and the payment of $500, 100000 in gold annually
to foreign ship owners, which is as much lost to this coun-
try as though it was sunk in the sea. Stripped of all dis
guises, the issues are very plain and simple and no doubt
the result would seem like doubling the sense of justice
in the hearts of men and Coo Weekly.

BORAH'S ENDORSEMENT OF SMITH.

Referring to Addison T. Smith, Senator Borah re-
Gently said: "Mr. Smith is one of the NOSE efficient, hard
working, vigilant memoirs of congress. His long SER
vice in Washington in connection with matters of legis-
has familiarized him with Idaho, with her every interest
and with the different localities, their peculiar local inter-
ests, and he is almost as well equipped for service in the
House as if he had spent those years in actual service in
that body. think it can be truly said that there is no mem
Der of the delegation that has more minute knowledge of
our great state and her varied interests than Mr.. Smith,,
and certainly there is no one more tireless in looking after
the interests of the people of the state. have found Mr..
Smith exceedingly helpful in dealing with such matters
as land legislation and other matters of peculiar local con-
Germ, 1t would be difficult for Idaho to find a more eff
Gent, courteous and obliging public servant than Addison
Il. Smith. We like him."

For Whose Benefit.

From Speech of Speaker Champ Clark, March 81:
br whose benefit did we build the canal? We are not such
hbmbskulls as not to know what we built it for. We built
= primarily for our own benefit. That is what we did,
hi nobody can lie out of it. Secondarily, we built it for
be benefit of the world, but it was to be used under rules
And conditions that we and nobody else prescribe. The
british government has just as much right to prescribe
the rules for the government OF that canal as it has to
rroscr;be that | shall wear a white flannel suit in mid
sv;ntar. as Mark Twain used to wear in the coolest wealth
~ WHY did we build it? There is the crux of the whole
situation. What did we do it for. What did we spend

Let us not deceive ourselves, Senators, the free-toll

FARMERS WERE POOR AND WHY.

A few wears ago the farmers of this locality were in
Strengthened circumstances. A great many of them We're
borrowers, and many others were not able to borrow, at
least not up to their requirements. They came here with
money, most of them, but found that the expenses of put
ting their lands under cultivation, and the making of
necessary improvements was greater than they had an
~ticipated, and their returns were smaller. In other words
they were paying out more than they were getting i'm.
The inevitable happened. In a short time they were in
very poor financial circumstances but understood the
cause of it, however, and kept working away and now they
are beginning to get returns.
m. During the first six months under the new tariff law
the United States purchased abroad $122, 100000 worth
more than it did during a like period the year before, and
sold for export $4,000, 900 less. Thus in six months the
loss to us was $248,000,00, which would have EMPLOYED
nearly half a million laborers for the six months at So
per day. 1t will be seen that we are paying out more
than we are taking in, and furnishing labor for foreign
workers while our own are becoming more and more idle.
We are getting in the same condition That the farmers
were when they were paying out more than they were
taking in-or were buying more than they were selling.
The same business principles underle the operations of
Uncle Sam as underlie the operations of the farmer-each
must sell more than they buy to be prosperous. We now
have a war tax to make up the loss between the receipts
of this government and its expenditures. We are giving
employment to foreign laborers by buying the products
of their labor to the exclusion of our own. How long
could the most prosperous of our farmers remain pros
porous if they hired their neighbours sons to do their
work, leaving their own sons idle and unemployed all or a
part of the time, and buying more than they were selling.
Would not ne and his family rapidly become financially
embarrassed? 1t is the same with the government. 1t is
even now becoming poor, and an increasing number of la
borers are becoming idle because the work is going to for
labor. This is all there is to the tariff question. It
is simply a business principle applied.

The commissioners Of Power county are entitled to
credit for a part of the economy that has been practiced.
They have not been parsimonious, just economical. Dep
.uties can not be hired without their permission, and all
the bills pass under their inspection. They are the business
managers for the county, and their record is before the
people-and a record that has not been equalled in the
entire state.
