CHAUTAUQUA
DATES ARE FIXED

The date for the Caldwell Chautau-
qua has been definitely settled as the
first week in July.
Some of the very finest attractions
on the Chautauqua circuit have been
acquired for this, CaldwelPs debut as
a Chautauqua city. Prominent among
these may be mentioned Sig. Salvatore
Ciricillo's great Italian band. This
band and its famous director have
played before the largest Chautauqua
assemblies of the country with emil
nent success.
DR.. Gunsaulus, "The Preacher of all
Chicago" as he is known throughout
the entire country. president of the
Armour Institute and one of the most
intensely interesting figures in Chau-
tauqua work, will be on hand, as well
as Ng Poon' Chu, the celebrated Chi
nese ambassador of San Francisco and
Shanghai.
Peter Mcqueen is too big a nation
al character to need any introduction.
He is friend of Teddy's and a great
traveller and lecturer. His subject
will be in all probability one of alb
sorbing interest-Mexico.
The Ellison-White Chautauqua sys-
ter has promised Caldwell frst-class
week and it is keeping its word in a
very pleasing manner From the few
attractions mentioned above it may be
inferred that Caldwell will be crowd
ed to its utmost capacity to take care
of the crowds that will flock here for
Chautauqua week. The management
declares that there will be something
every minute--and something Of true
Chautauqua standard.

REDUCTION OF TAKES AND
RETRENCHMENT -.

People complain OF high taxes,
but they are not in earnest. The
only way to reduce taxes is by re-
ducing the cost of government; by
doing without some of the things
which we now enjoy. When it
comes to retrenchment the tax pay
ers are not ready. This was illus
trated at Nampa a few days ago.
Nampa, like Caldwell, has a heavy
tax burden. One of the causes of
high taxes is the school. Schools
cost money and especially where all
the frills are given. The school
trustees of the Nampa district pro-
posed to cut out the departments of
music, art and physical training un-
til such time. as the pupils taking adj
vantage of these courses, shall have
Increased. Do you think that the
patrons of the Nampa schools would
stand for that? Not on your life.
they were up in protest at once. A
public meeting was called at which
the problem was discussed. The re-
suit will be that Nampa will retain
these departments.
1t is the same ali along the line.
We demand every comfort, conven-
fence and luxury, and then howl
about high taxes. The Tribune has
noted upon more than one occasion
the real reason and the real remedy
for high taxes. The trouble with us
is that we do not want to apply the
real remedy for the disease. II
some one will show us how we can
live like lords on a laborer's income
he will give us solution of prob
lem that we fear will never be solved
in any other way.

will be candidate; and the Repub-
lican party will be strongly united in
support of an administration that
has passed without criticism even
from its political enemies. In view
OF past experiences we can see no
reason why Governor Haines should
not be reelected. His administra-
ton has been clean; his campaign
promises have been carried out, and
there is every promise of great ac-
complishment during the next two
years provided he has an opportun-
ity.
The Mountaineer need labor I'M
der no misapprehension. Governor
Haines will be renominated and re-
elected

LETS ALL GET BEHIND BoRAH

The Nampa Leader Herald is con-
WINGED that Senator Borah is in di-
rect line for the presidency. The
greatest factor toward landing Sena-
tor Borah in the White House is the
solid support of the people of Idaho.
Therefore all are urged to join us.
We call upon Messrs. Nugent, Haw-
ley and Alexander to arise to their
opportunity. They should lay aside
partisanship and ambition. We ask
Sheridan S%oek ss and Martin IN to oE DO
men should not stand in the way Of
the ambition OF Senator Borah. This
is the first time that Idaho has been
called upon to furnish a president,
We should not neglect the opportu-
nifty. The Republican party will do
its part. Are the other parties as
patriotic and unselhsh!

MoUNTAINEER IS FEARFUL

The Koosia Mountaineer says
that Governor Haines cannot be
elected il nominated. We are i'm
clined to think that the Mountaineer
does not reason well. At the last
election Mr.. Haines was elected.
That may be admitted 1t was a
Democratic year and President Viii
son secured &he electoral vote OF
this state. Col. Roosevelt is un.
doubtedly the most popular man in
Idahol uHe wrought havoc in the
Republican party in every state in

doubtedly a popular man. He did
not support the Republican state
ticket. In spite Of all this Governor
Haines was elected. This coming
election the Democrats win not be
