SOUTHEASTERN IDAHO
FAVOR5 GOVERNOR HAlNES.

Under the above heading the Rex
burg Standard emphatically declares
that southeast Idaho IS strongly COM
mitted to the candidacy OF Governor
John NJ. Haines. The standard says:
"All the leading newspapers Of south
eastern Idaho are supporting Governor
Haines for denomination and re-elec-
ton clearly and Enthusiastically reflect
ing the sentiment in thar part of the
state" The Standard then follows this
declaration up with a strong state
ment OF facts as to why John NJ. Haines
is the logical candidate of his party
for governor
The opinion of the Standard is con

For Go"ernor:"
The people Of Idaho will soon be con-
fronted with the question of selecting
by ballot man for the executive head
Of the state. There are several worthy
men presenting their claims for pre-
ferment, and among them the present
governor John NJ. Haines, who has
served the state for two years and has
served the state well. There has been
criticism and there will be of any man
who occupies the exalted office, but
when the matter is reduced to facts
John NJ. Haines has made a good, clean
honest and capable executive and is en-
titled to the denomination and election
at the hands of the people of the state
From all that can be learned, Haines
will receive the nomination at the
hands of the people of the state, Of the
Republican party, and will be re-elect-
ed He is qualified is worthy, and is
absolutely entitled to be returned to
the office.-Adv.

Widest PANIC
IN THE Grain PIT
Situation in Europe Is the
Cause of Advnce in

Chicago, Aug. War talk this week
upset the grain situation and threw
the wheat pit into the widest panic in
nearly half a century. Small fortunes
we're made and lost early in the week
but despite this fact no failures We're
recorded and at the close today pit
leaders agreed that conditions had

The net result of the upheaval that
started the first of the week, September
at the close today was Az c higher than
at last Saturdays close and December
showed a gain for the week of csc.
July futures, which closed out yester-
day made corresponding gains. Threat
ened war in Europe was the cause for
the spectacular jump of from 6 to 10
cents in wheat prices within a few
minutes. When later developments
showed the general European war, the
trade suddenly reversed itself and in

suited and prices were drivenNdown.
The first thought early in the week
was that with Russia and the Danube
country involved Europe would be
forced to call on this country for
wheat When later developments in
dicated the likelihood of a general war,
pig leaders saw that a blockade of Eu-
ropcan ports would follow and Ameri-

that the few American ships would be

Finance and Public Life
(From the wall street Journal).

Recent discussions, at Washington
and elsewhere, have revived the old
charge that the business men of the
country do not care 10 give their time
to the public service. and therefore
their criticisms may be ignored The
charge is no longer sweepingly true,
as. for an instance. the organization
of the Federal Reserve Board sufli
ciently proves. But there is another
reason, and II goes deeper than the
politician supposes.
There are few rewards I'm a repub-
lie. But every man likes to be dec
Grated. In England they make him
peer and treat him with respect;
they give him social prominence. and
decorations to wear upon his hand
some uniform. They do this on the
Continent also TO an even greater
extent But what reward of the kind
have we? The charge that republics
are ungrateful is true. Look at the
heroes we have idolized on the front
pages of the newspapers. only to
cruelty them subsequently in the
editorial columns.

The politician thinks it is money. and
he is wrong. II is power Money

WHY INDIANS LOVE
BRITISH ARMY

From the Worlds Work.
The faithfulness OF the British army
of the wild men Of the Indian border
is almost pathetically touching. At
the beginning of the Tirah War in
1897 the present commissioner of the
Northwest frontier province, was com
mandant Of the Khyber Rifles, a regi-
ment recruited entirely from the hills
through which the Khyber Pass runs
and existing to hold that pass. There
were in the regiment several compan-
les drawn from the tribes with which
the regiment was about to fight. The
COmmandant assembled these COM
panies and, addressing them. said:
MY country is going to war with
your country. We are sportsmen. So
are you. We do not expect you to
fight against your own folk. Go home
if you like. AT the end of the war re-
turn to US and we will take you back
into our service"
Not a man accepted the offer. Some
went up to fight against their own
folk One native officer assisted in
the blowing up OF his own family
tower.
That was a story told me in the

IMPOnrANT AGRICuLTuRAL MEETINGS.

A GRICULTURAL and horticultural advancement in
this State is due largely TO three things They
are education directed generally by the Department
of Agriculture the Experimental Station at Newark and
farm journals; organization represented by the State
Grange. the Peninsula Horticultural Society the Della
ware Corn Growers Association and kindred bodies
and facilitaion due in the main to improved appliances
for the performance of farm work
TWO Of the important factors in such advancement
will meet in Wilmington next month. They are the
Peninsula Horticultural Society and the Delaware
Corn Growers Association A reading Of their pro-
grammes shows that many subjects of vital interest
to farmers and fruit will be discussed by men
well versed in the matters upon which they have been
selected TO speak Such addresses because of their
illuminaye power should be productive Of beneficial
results in many lines Of agricultural and horticultural
effort
Wilmingtonians also should be well pleased that
two such representative organizations have selected
our city for their place of meeting. thereby making It
more than ever a convention town.

Rumania. looking askanee at an un-
due aggrandizement of Bulgaria, inter-
yened on the side Of Greece and Seryia,
and Bulgaria, badly. beaten, had final
ly to accept the hard conditions Of
the treaty of Bucharest.
II Rumania is now ready TO give
back the territory she took from Bull
garia in 1913 it must be because she
wants TO assure herself Of free hand
in trying to take Rumanian Transyl-
yania away from Austria-Hungary.
Rumania and Greece would like TO
join the Allies, but before taking that
step they feel it necessary TO secure
a guarantee Of Bulgarian neutrality.
Rumania has made good a part of
Bulgaria's losses. Greece would not
like to give up Salonica, which is
largely Greek. But the recession Of
the Bulgarian sections of Macedonia
which She now holds would really
strengthen her, since It would be of
little advantage to her to try to as
simulate an obstinate subject race,
alien in language, religious afliliauon
and sympathies.
1t is the aim OF Russian diplomacy
to convince Seryia that she, too,
would be wise TO give back to Bull
garia the Bulgarian districts Of Mace

Was natural expansion is toward the
west, and Bosnia ad Herzegovina,
which are Serb provinces. would
more than compensate her for a par
tial withdrawal from Macedonia.
Weakened as she is by three wars in
succession. Servia needs the aid of
Greece and Rumania in expelling
Austria-Hungary from Bosnia and
Herzegovina. and she should be will
ing to pay the price of that aid, which
can be safely given only after Bull
garia's neutrality has been thorough
ly secured.
Rumanias offer to Bulgaria looks,
therefore. like the first step toward
the renewal Of an understanding
among the Balkan states preparatory
to the entry of Rumania and Greece
/ into the war. Balkan politics
brought on the great crash in Europe
Il would be only natural for the Bal
kan States, Bulgaria excepted, to take
hand in the remaking of the map OF
Europe which must come out of the
struggle and sacrifices Of the present
war.
