HOW AN EDITOR EXPLAINS II

When a man devotes his life to
newspaper work he comes to feel a
certain proprietorship in what he
writes, and when his reputation is
staked on what he says he becomes
very particular as to how he frames
it. G. J. Shorb, editor of the Idahoan,
at Caldwell, speaks of his werk in
this wise:
Frequently articles clipped from
this come back to us labelled lex
change" or from an exchange" We
are frank in saying that we don't like
this. 1t carries with it the idea that
the editors using them feel that we
lave stolen them. If any of our ex.
changes find anything in these col,
umns they think worthy of reproduc'
ton and have any hesitancy about
giving us credit for it, we should be
better pleased if they would clip il
and take the credit for it themselves
Then, at least, the press of this state
will have the credit for producing it
1t is probably a surprise to these edi
tors to find something in so unpre,
tentious an exchange as The Idahoan
They probably feel that if these arti
cles are the real product of an Idaho
EDITORS brain, he would receive cal
to some better and more lucrative pc.
sition. To these we wish to say that
we are entirely at fault in this matter
for we have received and turned down
some very fiattering offers. But we
value our independence, our liberty Of
expression more than we do money
We would rather have che privilege Of
saying what we want to say, when we
want to say it, and to say it in ouI
own way, even though we don't get a
thank'e for it, than to have to say
something that we don't want to say
at time we don't want to say it, and
after some othere persons method
even though we are paid well foi
doing it. We hope this hint will be
sufficient.

have a large middle and strong con-
stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good-sized teats.
Her head should be clean and an
gular in appearance, with the eyes
standing out prominently The neck
should be rather long and lean; the
shoulders pointed and the backbone
rather prominent. The skin should be
loose and soft to the touch. In select
ing herd bulls either mature animals
which have already demonstrated
their worth as sires or younger ami
mails from high-testing dams and sires
only should be used
The best and surest results will
always follow the use Of a mature
sire which has sired heifers with
good records. A good dairy bull
should be kept until he Is twelve or
fifteen years old; in fact, as long as
he is a sure sire. Real good sires are
80 rare that when we do find one he
should die only Of old age.
All breeders of dairy cattle should
secure yearly tests on each and every
cow in the herd. Shorter tests do not
really mean very much. It is the cow
that stays by her job that ia really
valuable

THE CITY PARK

The city park which lies west of
the fairgrounds was laid out last year
with a circular driveway in the CEN
er and triangles adjoining it, with
trees, shrubs and flowers. The Vii
Ilage Improvement society had charge
of the work. and have a man employed
this year to devote all his time to
for four months.
Many of the shrubs winter killed,
some were partly killed and some
lived through in good condition. They
were not cut back and protected in
the fall as it is necessary to do in
this climate to make sure of surviv-
ing the rigors of winter. If tender
shrubs are cut back some and wrap
ped or we'll mulched, and then are
cut back a little more in the spring
they are pretty safe for vigorous
growth. The ladies will probably ex-
pend several hundred dollars on the
park this season, and have the basis
for a nice piece of pleasure grounds.
They expect to handle rummage
as one means of getting money for
the work, and We suggest that a
heavier dog tax be levied in the flu
ture and that the funds arising from
this source be used on the park. Dogs
have run over the town to great
extent, and especially have they over
run flowers and shrubs and the gar
dens. For a long time those who
raised gardens and flowers kept them
fenced, but dog can always slip in,
and now that fences have been re-
moved, anybody who puts out a gar
den raises nothing but dog tracks for
quite a while. When flowers get to
blooming, there is nothing so delight
full for a dog as to roll among them.
There are so many people trying to
raise beautiful things in still-life, 1t
might be a good time to draw the
lines a little harder on dogs and
through the licenses make 1t easier
for the ladies to improve the park and
for all florists to preserve their prod
ucts.
Persons desiring to drive through
the park should 60 up Main street
and take, the street extending west,
just south of the fairgrounds.

LOUIS FELT TALKS OF COUNTY
CONDITIONS
Left over from last week

Louis Felt was in from Porterville,
Wednesday, and called at the Repub-
lican office to get a copy of the paper,
saying he loans his paper to the
neighbors and frequently doesn't get
to study 1t as closely as he likes.
Mr.. Felt is authority for the state
ment that the Republican is the paper
for the business farmer to read If
he wants to get the news and get it
right.
In discussing the political situation,
Mr.. Felt said it is going to be a
difficult matter to find good men to
fill county offices with credit, for the
reason that not all good men are
qualified to grapple with so many
subjects as come before the county
commissioner or they are not techni-
cally qualified to fill some of the
other positions. Mr.. Felt observed
that the successful farmer who serves
a term or two in an office seldom
again feels the same interest in farm
ing, and man who runs for Office
should think twice before taking this
step that may separate him from his
vocation. Hr. Felt says people
should make it their business to be
looking over the county to see who
saall take the positions, and be
studying the possible candidates in
advance of the primary.

/ SEWER EXTENSION
D. d. Sullivan acting in behalf of
citizens who want the sewer extended
distance of one block between Main

L. D. S. church is situated. The
property owners offer to advance the
money ON condition that they shall
Iibe reimbursed by the city when there
is money in the sewer fund available
for that ward and for that extension.
1t was shown that some of the prop
erty owners are unable to do their
Ipart now, and they are already pay
ing sewer tax. One man suggested
that the individual borrow the money.
Another asked why the individual
should borrow money to carry the
city's burdens and pay the taxes on
sewer bonds besides. Why should
not the city do the borrowing? Mr..
Younie said the city had already
reached the limit of borrowing. The
matter of the extension was left in
the hands of the sewer committee
with power to act.

dences on the sewer line where nuis-
ances exist, and the committee was
