Again We Repeat.

The Progressive knows no pol
itics. We have at times forgot
ten the political affiliations of
some of our friends. We care
not whether you are a Democrat,
Progressive, Prohibitionist, Re-
publican, or Socialist. We are an
xious to see the right man, and
not a party, in power. We be-
lieve in government by all the
people. and if you will follow US
a long you will be convinced of
this fact before the present cam
paign is over. We care not how
weak or how strong an official
has been, but we are concerned
about any prospective officials
present condition to fill a place
of honor and trust from the peo-
pie, and we think our concern is
in line with the honest and I'M
tainted citizenship of today,
We are making this statement
for the benefit Of our friends, as
a gentle reminder that their faith
fulness in us may wax greater.
True friends are among our great
est assets. Are you a true friend
of The Progressive?

Heart Burdens.

There are a great many men
who h ave business burdens.
When we see a man worried and
perplexed annoyed in business
life, we are apt to say, He ought
not to have attempted to carry so
much. " All, that man may not
be to blame at all. When man
plants a business, he does not
know what will be it's branches.
There is many a man with keen
foresight and large business fac
ulty who has been flung into the
dust by unforeseen circumstances
springing upon him from ambush.
When to buy, when to sell, when
to trust and to what amount of
credit, what will be the effect of
this new invention of machinery,
what will be the effect of that
loss of crop and thousand other
qeustions perplex business men
until the heir is silvered and deep
wrinkles are plowed in the cheek.
There never has been a time
when there have been such RI
valries in business as now. 1t is
hardware against hardware, and
a thousand stores in combat with
other thousand stores, and amid
all these seventies of rivalry in
business how many men break
down.

HAPPINESS IN MARRIAGE.

Thomas Jefferson wrote t he
following excellent advise. There
is a great deal of human nature
and good sense in it:
Harmony in the married state
is the first thing to be arrived at.
Nothing can preserve the affec-
lions uninterrupted but a firm re-
solution never to differ in will,
and a determination in each to
consider the love of the other of
more value than any object what
ever on which the wish had been
fixed. How light, in fact, is the
sacrifice of any othor wish when
weighed against the affections of
one with whom we are to pass
our whole life. And no opposi-
ton in a single instance will
hardly in itself produce alienation
yet every one has his pouch into
which all these little oppositions
are put, and while this is filling,
the alienation is insensibly going
on, and when filled it is complete.
1t would puzzle either to say why
because no one difference of
opinion has been marked enough
to produce a serious effect by it
self. But he or she finds his or
her affections wearied out by a
constant stream of little checks
and obstacles. Other sources of
discomfort, very common, indeed,
are the little cross purposes Of
husband and wife in common con-
versation; a disposition in either
to criticise and question what
ever the other says; a desire al
ways to demonstrate and make
him feel himself, in the wrong,
especially in sympathy. Nothing
is SO goading on the part of eth
er. Much better, therefore, if
our companion views a thing in a
light different from what we do,
to lease him in quiet possession
of his view. What is the use of
rectifying him if the thing be un-
important? and if important, let
it pass for the present, and wait
for softer moment and more
conciliatory occasion of revising
the subject together. 1t is won
derful how many persons are
rendered unhappy by inattention
to these rules of prudence.
Govern your thoughts when
alone and your tongue when in
company.
The foundation of happy homes
is laid in the kitchen.

Ue Challenge CteUens and
The EUening Courier

The Evening Courier acknowledges being
Stevens organ, and complains that The Idaho Repub
lican has been abusing and vllifying the Judge In
other words they finch when we publish some of his
record, and try by abusing Byrd Trego to stop the
process of exposing Mr.. Stevens They try by rehash
ing the Trego impress Trego with the fact that
he is going be tried again the fall of court
and they try show that publishing Stevens record is
helping his campaign That being true the wishes of
the Republican and the Courier are mutual, and we
challenge them and Mr. Stevens to aid in the work.
We invite Mr.. Stevens to explain through the
Courier just what it that Byrd Trego said him
in the campaign of 1870 when he, Stevens, asked
why The Idaho Republican not supporting him
for denomination for district Judge.
We invite Mr.. Stevens to explain through the
Courier whether he observed that the Republican in
dcated the 24th of May, 1914, that the editor
pected spare him the humiliation of any publicity
in his private life of respect his loved ones
him. We invite him to say at this time whether he
appreciates such generosity and whether not
titled hold up his official record public view when
we have first made that exception in his favor.
We invite the Courier to explain whether they
want the job of defending their candidate against that
class of charges which at first indicated that he
might better be spared from

river and it's freaks, and the associa-
tion filed objections to anybody un-
acquainted with the river taking so
much responsibility. They showed
thing that the new man, competent in
everything else, but stranger to the
valley and the river and it's peculiar
physical conditions, was sure to make
mistakes during the period of low
water and sacrifice great values in
crops. When these matters were
brought to the attention of the de-
partment the wishes of the farmers
were granted.
Mr.. Empey referred to the appoint
ment of the present commissioner,
who was expert in irrigation and the
handling of small streams, but was
stranger to the physical conditions
of Snake river when he took hold,
and now if he should be displaced
as result of a careless political
promise, and man given the position
who knew little of irrigation and
nothing of local conditions, the losses
to the farmers might be very great.
The organization expects to keep in
close touch with all such matters as
well as with legislation affecting the
rights of the water users, and if all
emergency should arise any day the
officers, can set responsible men to
work within the hour in Washington
or Boise or through the valley as the
needs might make it best. An effort
was made in the legislature to have
the statute relating to priority of
water rights repealed, and it was
pushed vigorously by Twin Falls in
terests where the rights are newer,
and had it not been for the prompt
action of the Aberdeen-Springfie
Canal company acting through their
representative, A. j Snyder, it would
likely have been accomplished. By
keeping in close touch by wire with
water users in the hot season they
had frequently found companies that
were ready to turn their water into
waste bitches and waste it in the
plains, and through the organization
it would be cut back into the river
at the intake, and delivered to other
canals that were short. Still other
cases arise in returning the water to
the river through waste bitches which
would seem to the casual observer to
get the same results, but the Twin
Falls projects claimed all of the ere
turn fiow," and keeping it out of the
canal kept it labeled as the natural
flow where that point was raised. The
intelligent handling of the water un-
der the decree by means of the organ
ization was the means of preventing
severe losses this summer, and with
out either the decree or the organi- /
zation for the past few weeks the
losses would have been appalling.

WATER USERS
MET MONDAY
CLOSER ORGANIZATION NECEs-
SARY. WATER DECREE ALONE
NOT SUFFICIENT. NEEDS AN
EFFECTIVE WORKING FORCE
BACK OF 1T. LOCAL CANALS
WILL JOIN.

Monday afternoon there was a
meeting at the City hall for the pur-
pose of explaining the work of the
Farmers Protective association COM
posed of the water users of the Snake
river valley.
John Empey, the president OF the
organization, explained the purposes
and the work already done and rep
resentatives of canal companies, who
were there adopted resolution to
recommend their boards of directors
to make their various canals mem
bers.
Twenty-six companies were already
members, and they pay fee OF two
mills per inch of water belonging to
them per the decree. This sum may
vary in amount and frequency ac-
cording to what they undertake to
do and what they eXpend. The board
of directors constitute working unit
to look after the rights of the great
est or the lest of the companies, and
have prevented the undue waste OF
water, the unjust division of it, and
in variou ways have protected against
water famine.
A competitor of water against all
the interests in this upper valley has
-, mo tinn nf lands
in the Twin Falls and Minidoka
country, so that there is an effort on
their part to grasp our water. The
jackson Lake reservoir stores water
them. and enables us to have the
natural flow of the river, but there is
always the problem of just which or
how much is natural flow and what
is storage water Then there is the
problem of the waste water from our
canals returned to the river, called
the return fiow," and that belongs
to us if we can utilize it before pas
sing the last of our canals. There
is the problem Of waste by evapora-
ton and by seepage through the bot
tom of the river, and there is the
question of ownership of water added
to the river by rains and the addi-
tion through lack of evaporation dur
ing showery weather. The whole mat
ter becomes so complicated it Is i'm
possible to arrive at exact results,
but by keeping the records of meas
urement as the government has done
for many years, the matter is get
ting systematized so that those who
study the question throughout the
year can act intelligently and set
aside much of the original guess
work.
An effort was made a short time
ago to have the bulk of water in the
Aberdeen Springfield canal cut off on
account of their late date of acquir-
ing their right, and their representa-
tiyes protested and showed that they
we're prior to certain other canals
that we're still drawing. An injunc-
tion was granted them, and by the
time it was their turn to be shut
off the period of famine had passed
and the flow was allowed to continue.
Water Commissioner Norton, of
McCammon has many assistants to
help govern the river, and President
Empey says the organization can ac-
complish much by looking after the
appointments of water commissioners
and assistants when changes are to be
made. He said the reclamation SER
vice was to have sent one of their
photographers to take responsible
place in the work this year but he
was man who did not know the
