The Value of Town Harmony.

One Of the great problems which every
movement for civic advance has to meet
is that of lining up all elements for
team work. Harmonious cooperation OF
all interests is necessary.
A great many communities are cursed
by petty jealousies. Their power for
mischief affects every public enterprise
II one man starts a movement, all the
people who do not like him begin "a
throw cold water They make sarcastic
remarks about his project The result
is that people feel disiuclined TO take
hold and push for fear lest they make
themselves ridiculous
II is difficult enough to promote pub
lie objects under the most favorable con
ditions The moment that people let
personal feeling enter in, il becomes i'm
possible 70 get unity OF action. One set
OF people will try one thing only 10 see
il fail under a wet blanket OF ironical
skepticism. They feel disguised, and the
next time anyone else starts anything.
they in turn stand back and jeer.
The practical outcome is that everyone
feels afraid OF starting any new move
ment Ii il easier to stand on one side
and make superior remarks about the
poor Judgment Of your neighbors than TO
take hold and push. Civic sentiment dis
sipates. and the town growth languishes.

for reciprocal aid in the treatment OF
its own race questions. The force bill
of the early '90s 1t will be recalled, was
killed not by the South alone, but by
unexpected succor from the Pacific coast.
In addition to these groups OF states
there could be added the anti-English
influence which the Germans would mus
Ter in the Mississippi valley. Right here
the attitude of the Irish element becomes
of the utmost Importance, and so the
amicable settlement of the present home
rule question. If that issue should
eventuate in such way as to reopen
| the sore, sending this element of the
population into alliance with the Ger
mans in desire to do" England at all
hazards and 50 to "do" Japan, we should
have the making of a very pretty quar-
rel. Offhand.. it looks as il these ele-
ments OF our voting strength would con-
stitute an actual majority, or at least
give enough strength in the North to
make, with the "solid South" ma jor-
ity of Congress and the electoral col
lege Shall we have presidential cam
paign forced on this issue?
just now the personal point of view
of Woodrow Wilson prevents such an
alliance from early contamination. His
attitude in the Panama canal tolls, re-
sisted by all the chronic foes of Great
Britain, is too fresh in mind to permit
his falling into such a scheme. And so
long as he is the Democratic party--two
years or six-these speculations will re-
main without force But there is Champ
Clark, sturdy rival steadily in sight, |
who killed Taft's Canadian reciprocity /
enterprise by declaring on the floor of |
the House, in a rather militant way, for |
Canadian annexation. He might grab |
the next nomination away from Wilson
on this very issue.
If we can live through this war with
out its becoming our dominal political
question, we shall indeed be fortunate.
We have had one terrible experience OF
this sort. Our own South used 10 d.
vide on economic issues. Southern states
sent Wing members TO Congress, and at
times supported Wing presidential candi.

Wing states. But they regard issues no

Safety First" being the slogan of
the First National Bank of this
place, it's officers are ever on the
alert for any device that will assure
this safety not only to its depositors,
but to the bank itself. With this end
in view they have just added a new
adding machine which will assure
correct results in every instance.
This machine is one of the latest de-
vices for this purpose. and not only
takes care of the adding but does the
posting of the individual ledger. in
surfing not only correctness, but a
saving of at least two thirds of the
time heretofore spent in posting the
individual accounts.
To insure further safety to the de-
positors, another section of safety
deposit boxes has recently been in
stalled which affords a most desir-
able place to deposit your valuable
papers and other articles of value
where they are absolutely safe from
destruction by fire or loss by burg
larry.

4 Flour Mill for Jerome.

At meeting OF the Business Mems
Association on Tuesday evening, Mr..
J. d. Turner, of Boise, representing /
the Peoples Milling & Elevator As
ISOLATION. appeared before the meet
ing and briefly outlined the objects !
of this association. which Is the
building of flour mills and elevators !
throughout different sections of the
10 warrant this, and where the pro-
per cooperation Is given 1t by the
people who become directly benefited
by the establishment of such mills.
In an interview with Mr.. Turner
he assures US that after a careful in
vestigation he considers this all ideal
location for mill. as the quality of
the wheat raised here is unsurpassed.
and the acreage sufficient to warrant
mill He also advised us that he
had met with hearty response from
the citizens and farmers OF this sec
ton TO such an extent that he could
| positively state that mill would be
erected here and in operation by the
first of the coming year. 1t is the in
tention of the association to erect a
mill here with capacity of 25 bar
rels OF flour per day. which capacity
will be increased as fast as conditions
will warrant.
II Is probably unnecessary for us
to 90 into the details regarding the
benefits to be derived from the cree
ton of such mill at this place. II
Is "a we'll known fact that situated as
we are from the markets, 1t become:
necessary that means be devised
whereby we can ship the finished
product If we expect to realize thu
full benefits from our land. Herr
then is the opportunity for the farm
er who Is devoting his attention t
the raising of grain. to get the full
