as the boldest footpads that have ap-

began, are being sought by the police
Monday. They Keld up w. P. Watts
Of No. As Highland avenue, at 6 o'clock
Monday morning, within a block OF
his home, and, after relieving him of
$50. threatened to shoot him because
he did not have at least 800, which
they declared was usually the limit of
their operations.
We will take your little $685. the
police say they told Watts. because
we need the money; but usually we
do not take anything less than $100!''
Hours Search Fruitless.
Watts notified the police depart
ment Immediately after the robbery,
and a squad of officers was dispatched
to the scene. More than an hour was
spent searching for the footpads, but
without success. The police declared

street, near his home, and had opened
his place for the days business.

in their homes. At Highland and

At BOISE

William Balderston, one of the pio-
neerS of the state, former editor of the
Boise Statesman, register of the u. S.
Land office at Boise, died at his home

ston has three other children, William,
jr.; Elizabeth and Katherine.

1856. He went from Maryland to
Colorado, where his young manhood
was spent. He was engaged in the
profession of journalism.
In 1892 he came to Idaho to ac-
cept position as editor of The
Statesman. He held that position
until 1908, when i'll health forced him
to abondon newspaper work.
Mr.. Balderston was active in the
work of St. MichaePs cathedral, and
the members of his family are COM
municants of that church. Mr.. Bald
erston was president of the Boise
lnter-church council.

ROUSING BLACK CANYON
MEETING HELD
YESTERDAY

Headed by the Idaho State Band
the school children of the city led the
big parade to the Methodist Cchurch
where the Black Canyon meeting was
held yesterday afternoon. The ap-
pearahce of the children surprised
many of our citizens. A double line,
boys to the right, followed the band
for blocks, and made an extremely
credilable showing.
Following the children came the
the Governor and his staff and other
dingHataries.
The meeting was called to order in
the church by ]. H. Lowell who after
a few Introductory remarks spoke
feelingly of the record of a man who
always labored for the settler as best
he might; man who having done
his work had been called home. He
asked the audience TO stand as a mark
OF respect to the memory of William
Balderstons and as one unit the big
crowd rose and stood with bowed
head for moment in silence.
The big building was filled with
Black Canyon enthusiasts who fire.
quently interrupted the speakers with
applause. Governor Haines and the
state officials all declared that they
stood ready and anxious to do all that
they could do to further the interests
of the project.
Representatives from Parma, Ros-
we'll, Payette, Emmett, New Ply
mouth, Notus, Middleton, Nampa-
in fact from all the towns in this

Mitchell. with Joel Priest in the chair
of the leader.

way and the spirit of determined eff

produce favorable effect in Wash

CANYON COUNTY FAIR"
DELIGHTS LARGE
AUDIENCE

The Canyon County Fair" the one
act musical comedy presented under
the auspices of the Commercial Club
and the public schools at the Huree
Theatre on Monday and Tuesday
evenings OF this week, was one of the
most pleasing home talent entertain
ments ever given in this city. The
comedy represents a county fair in
tull swing, and was characterized bv
humorous situations, unique costumes
and clever local hits. Crowded houses
greeted the performance each night
Over 200 characters were required in
the cast, and each part was admirably
taken.
The musical and dancing numbers
were especially fine. The 'Boogie
Boo curtain raiser by 100 small
children with Tom Bailey and Verla
Post as soloists, made decided hit.
The Indian chorus OF rs boys and
girls, Glenore Fisk and Noble Dixon
taking solo parts, was also well re-
ceived. Two solos sung by Mrs w.
J. Ross in her usual charming man.

of this highly successful entertain

WEEKLY REVIEW STATE
NEWS WITH OUR
COMMENT

The meeting of the Democratic
state central committee which took
place at Boise Tuesday proved con,
clusively that Hon. John F. Nugen,
is in full control of the party machine,
He was able to elect his state chair
man. The meeting was called to &C
cept the resignation of Mr.. Ben R.
Gray as state chairman to to elect his
successor. Joseph T. Pence, ex-may-
or of Boise and a prominent member
of the Nugent faction of the Demo
cratic party, was elected chairman by
vote of 20 to 10. Votes taken on
resolutions and motions which came
before the meeting showed that Nu-
gent controlled the state central COM
mittee by about to /.
1t came to light at the meeting of
the committee that a very bitter feel
ing exists between the Hawley and
Nugent factions. Senator Macbeth, a
Democrat who by virtue of discovery
is state senator from Custer county
in fee-simple, stated at the meeting
that Nugent was digging the grave
of Idaho Democracy by his high
handed proceedings. Evidently the
job of sexton to the party suited Mr..
Nugent as he proceeded with the ex-
cavation. The Hawley forces tried to
elect man who is not closely identi-
fed with either faction. Several pro-
minent Democrats were suggested
but they were rejected by the Nugent
members. Mr.. Walter Grifiths of
this city, was the man finally voted
upon in opposition to Mr. Pence and
with the result above noted.
The state Craftsmanship is a yery
prominent Office in the party organiza-
ton. He conducts the campaign:
usually his endorsement carries great
weight in the matter of appointments;
and at all times he is the head and
mouthpiece of his party except when
the party is assembled in convention.
The election of Mr.. Pence gives MI
gent great advantage in his cam
paign against Governor Hawley. Not
only does it place a Nugent man in
position to help directly but the moral
effect both at home and abroad is
great. At home the rank and file of
the party naturally look to the state
chairman for advice and direction.
Abroad, which here means Washing
ton, it looks that Mr. Nugent is the
choice of the Democrats of the state
and should be the choice of the ma
tional administration. 1t is expected
that henceforth the administration
will openly lend Mr. Nugent such as
sistance as it can. The pork will be
distributed with an idea of strengthen
ing the hand of Mr.. Nugent as a can
didate for the United States senate.

Gooding Opens Campaign.

Governor Gooding has opened his
ton for the United States senate. Ac-
campaign for the Republican nomina-
cording to press reports of his key
note address, made at Gooding, he
will make his fight upon his record
in public life in Idaho with a platform,
the principal planks of which are the
restoration of protection to American
industry and the maintenance of the
law exempting American coastwise
shipping from the payment of Panama
Canal tolls. He could not find two
planks for his platform which would
make stronger appeal to the people
of Idaho. The people of this state
are in favor of protective tariff and
have so expressed themselves on
numerous occasions. We also be-
lieve that Panama Canal exemption
law appeals to people who are and
for years have been believers in pro-
lection of all kinds. In this connec-
ton we would remind our readers
that the law which President Wilson
asks Congress to repeal has been
upon the statute books over two
years. Up until a few weeks ago, the
justice and the right of the United
States to exempt our coastwise ship
ping from the payment Of tolls, was
not seriously questioned. 1t was the
Mexican trouble that suddeningly
made our integrity" national hon
or" etc, ad nausea a reason for the
repeal of the exemption law. There
is not man in the country who does
not believe that the repeal of the ex-
emption law is a part of the price the
United States is asked to pay for En-
glands support in Mexico. This is
the view that Governor Gooding takes
and it is one that will appeal the peo-
pie of Idaho. OF course the other
candidates for the senate will prob
ably take the same view of these two
principles. Governor Gooding is the
first in the field and we are pleased to
see that he will make his campaign on
principles that are fundamental with
the Republican party. OF course Mr..
Gooding and other candidates will
discuss a great many issues. 1t is well
that there is a common ground for
them all This will enable the party
to decide which can better and more
ably represent them in the senate.
