All! Who would dwell In the Arctic Zone!
Where deas and bel bugs are unknown.
Where skeeters never buzz nor bite,
No files to poster. day nor night,
Where maids for oy sters do not sigh,
And topers lack their good old rye,
Where Ice creams not-except the Ice

Where there's no social dance or hop,
Where SWANS and root beer never "pop,"
Where show or circus never HES,
Where folks ken not the posters lies,
Where chestnut jokes are things non est.
Where punsters don't grow rich on jest,
No lover feareth toe Of boots.
No fish horn eer the to0ter toots,
No lonesome berry In the cake,

No politics to breed great foes,
No picnics there tn cause great woes,
No "Glorious Fourth" with thunderous tone.

WE PASS THE BUCK.

The genial philosopher who tried to hit
himself by his bootstraps made little progress;
and one of his descendants wanted to know what
would happen in case an irresistible force
should strike an immOvable body. The line OF
descent remains unbroken to this day as there
are those who for instance say: I'VE are not very
strong for prohibition We think the principle
is I'M American and that it is not within the pro
vince of the law to do more than regulate the
abuse Of the habit and not the use. But under
present conditions we are advocating state wide
prohibition because we believe that only IN that
way can the situation be handled" They do
believe nor the "provnce of the law" This
same descendant of our original philosopher
says: 'some of our contemporaries have jumped
to the conclusion that city manager is part
of the policy advocated by this paper Such is
not the case in toto - We believe in the con
centration of responsibility and therefore in the
concentration of authority but have not yet de-
cided whether or not the idea is popular. Again
in approaching the problem of school expenses
they say "we are approaching it with an open
mind, retaining the privilege of changing our
base Of operation at any moment and without
specially advocating the elimination OF the stu
dies to which we are going to refer" as we may
wish to dodge such advocacy later on. mo one
wants to impair the efficiency of our school sys-
tenn" but if there are any frills which cost
terested, "they should be discovered and cut
off - bear in mind, however, that we do not com
NIT ourselves to this as time may show the wis
dom of retaining even these frills which have
not been discovered or cut off
lis our contemporary making any more pro-
gress in the solution of the problems than did his
forebears. We can't see it.

AILsHIE ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY

Judge James f. Ailshie has announced in
letters written to Lewiston and Grangeville
friends that he will be a candidate for the I'm
tied States senate. If anything were needed to
encourage Judge Ailshie in his candidacy it
was the apathy with which the announcement
of Congressman French was received. What
ever may be his worth the people of north Idaho
will not support Mr.. French They favor ALL
SHE above any other candidate that has an
nounced himself. just how far sectional sup
port will go is question. The friends of Judge
Ailshie think that it will give him the support of
north Idaho.
Judge Ailshie has served the people of Id
aho with honor and fidelity He has been a
member of the supreme court for nearly twelve
years and undoubtedly the abliest man we have
ever had on the bench with possibly the excep-
ton OF one man. He is a clear thinker; force
full speaker; and a man progressive in thought
and action.
In his letters announcing his candidacy
and the fact that he will resign from the sIl-
preme court before the primary campaign
Judge Ailshie says:
81 feel that it is due my friends and
the people generally that make it known
whether / expect to be a candidate to sue
coed myself on the supreme bench or enter
the race for the United States senate That
there may be no misrepresentation about the
natCeI, desire TO make 1t plain at this time
that | will be a candidate for the senate
and that when the time arrives | will pur-
sue such course and make such a campaign
as | feel the conditions demand. In the
meanwhile. it is fair to the people and to
aSspirants for the supreme iudgeship that
they know certainly what my real inten-
tiOns are in the matter
Il have had the honor to serve the
people of Idaho almost II years in the SUI
preme court, and in reaching the determi-
nation to retire from that office and run for
the senate, | may add that L believe the
manhood and womanhood of Idaho are go
ing to take deliberate account of the merit
and qualifications of the respective candi-
dates, candidly selecting that one who most
nearly approaches their ideal of worth and
fitness for that high office For this purs
pose they should have time to consider the
standing of all candidates.
1T is also my intention to tender nv
resignation as chief justice prior to the pri-
mary election, to be held next September

THE WAY OF SUNNY SLOPE.

We are pleased to see that the spirit which
made possible the reclamation and settlement OF
the great west still prevails to a great extent.
The settlers who have come upon the Boise pro-
iect for the purpose OF making homes for them
selves have the same confidence in themselves
and the same willingness to help their neigh
bors as did their fathers before them. This
was Illustrated at Sunny Slope the other day
when the neighbors gathered in to assist wo-
man who had taken up a homestead. The
pluck she exhibited in locating won the sympa-
thy and good will of her neighbors. They want
ed to assist and did so in practical manner.
This is not the first instance of the kind that has
come to the attention of The Tribune. During
the past few years whenever hOmesteader,
through sickness or from any other causes was
unable to prepare his ground, irrigate his land
or harvest his crops, the neighbors have done it
for him. The hardships and delays they have
endured have bound them together with ropes
of steel. The necessity for cooperation in the
past will be of inestimable benefit in the future
They know how to cooperate When the water
system is turned over to them; when they de-
eide to build creameries stock their farms; and
undertake other things in which the community
as whole is interested; they will be prepared
They have had their schooling
The Tribune looks forward to wonderful
development ON the Boise project during the
next few years. Our settlers have shown cour-
age, initiative and ability in all the things which
go toward building up and developing a new
country. Their progress during the next few
years should be wonderful This kindly spirit
toward each other will not be one of the least
factors in their progress

CONGRESSMAN SMITH ON RIGHT TRACK

Congressman Addison T. Smith is attempt
ing to do something for boys who have not reach
ed their majority. He has introduced bill to
extend the privilege of making an entry under
reach the age of 18 years instead of requiring
them to wait until they are 81 years old. OF his
proposed amendment to our land laws Con-
gresham Smith says:
In order to encourage the settlement
of the public lands the laws applicable to
them must be made more liberal There
is no good reason for making young man
ineligible to entering a homestead until he
reaches the age of 81 years. We gladly
accept his services at the age of IL for duty
in the army or navy and yet the present
laws withhold from him the right extended
to men over q years of age to enter home
stead on the public domain. The great ma
iority of our young men when they reach
the age OF 18are planning totsettle down to
some business or permanent occupation, and
it they were able to enter a homestead and
improve the same they would, by the time
they are q years of age have established
themselves and be in q position to settle
down in life, where if they are required to
wait until they are II they may have con-
Guided to seek their fortunes In some other
direction than by agriculture 1t seems to
me that the enactment of a law of this char
acter would be great benefit to those young
men who are anxious to secure a home and
take advantage Of the opportunities offered
under the public land laws"
In case privileges of this kind are to be ar
bitrarily limited by age the age limit should be
low enough. If young man of Is is willing and
able to comply with the requirements of other
entrymen there is no reason why he should not
be permitted to secure home from the public
domain. Many boy of 10 is older in exper-
fence and wisdom than are others of 30 Many
of them are doing man s work and are under
a man s responsibilities They should take a
mans place in the world.
