Gov. Alexander turned down Editor Cunningham

reasons to suppose assured and made O. Broxon,
the Bull Mooser his private secretary instead says the
Grangevie Globe This act is said has caused split
between the governor and John F. Nugent who hereto

together The contention is made that the governor,
by this act slapped the active workers in his party
the face and bid them go away back and sit down. strong
y intmang thereby that of them worthy to be
given his confidence and share in his councils. 1t is
further charged that Broxon is political pirate, simply

Further that Broxon is still to continue editor of the
Boise Capital News while acting the governors

chasing immunity from the attacks of the foresaid Bull
Moose Capital News, which has in the past held club
the heads of all the governors and other officials

SOME CALDWELL BUSINESS HOUSES.

This week The Tribune is devoting little attention to
OF the Caldwell manufactures and other industries.
The annual business Of of business houses will
surprise great many people. The Caldwell Milling &,
Elevator company buys million dollars worth of wheat
year the business Of the Turner Horse Market runs
to 100000 year. local creameries buy butter
to the extent of $4,000 year. the semi-monthy sales
amount to $4,000 year. The poultry business alone
will to $4,000 per year These facts and figures
were gathered for two purposes, viz give Tribune
readers some idea of the size of present industries
and to show possible investors that the inducements
already established have grown and growing today
This country is producing the product and efforts
must be put forth during the next few years induce
of capital to establish plants for the conversion of
these products into the finished article of commerce.
We need mills creamerics and packing plants. Tie raw
products for these factories be produced here and
production in the Boise Valley in its infancy The land
just coming into cultivation 1t should be the aim of
every community to finish far possible every pro-
duct it produces
Idaho should export raw fruit and import canned

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by Civ
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am.
Oltlons OF humanity or by filing its
columns with the echoes of the strug.
giles of busy streets, or by ENCHANTING
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task
Too often the pages of the CITY dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitions
men in their wild lust for power and
many times the flames of personal
conflict scar the tender buds of new
civilization aud illuminate the patb.
way to destruction The rural press
Is the governing power of public senti.
ment and must hold steadfast m
principle and keep the ship of state
In the roadstead of progress The
rural press can best serve the inter.
ests OF the farmers by APPLYING its
to the solution of problems
the local community. It
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
ciues, sweeping before 1t a thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems OF
ciViilzation at their fountain head Its
mission is to direct growth, teach eff.
hciency and mold the intellectual life
Of the country placing before the pub.

BoRAH REPLIES TO WILSON.

Democratic newspapers do not go into details while
audng the indianapolis speech of President Wilson They
DO offer quotations exempiicatons of the states
manshp and greatness of the President They acting
much like they did during the late political campaign
They had whole lot say about what they would do in
the state but not much about what they had done in
nation They praise this speech whole but avoid get
ting down cases
Senator Borah has replied the indianapolis speech of
the President and he did remarkably good job of it.
The Senator took the Presidents speech and picked it to
pieces These pieces exhibited away from the grand
semble look lean and hungry. They not good ex-
hibs They indicate that the President had very little
to for himself and said that little ill., Senator Borah
made very able reply In fact he convinced The Tri-
bune that in the opinion of the Senator the Republican
party will soon return to power 1t is safe to be an
out and out Republican without the aid and consent of
COL Roosevelt any other man on earth When Sen
ao Borah feels safe politically courageous souls

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency OH the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School Trinity of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers, untc

ACCluIGE 1NdllOHdl dEInSFS Union
broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is ue- ded in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blaZoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ,
scures the substance A searching in
vestigation into che needs Of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un.
derstood and Illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in.
huences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation of the farmers to fully de.
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities: Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as we'll
as farm periodicals and such other
as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it, The local paper
Is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
ems. 1t is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
It's columns deal with subjects of most
vital importance to local life of the
community.

can strike out boldly The storm has passed.
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INTERVIEWS

Senator Dubois is much more than prophet A pro-
phet simply plies his trade without much regard the
feelings of those effected The senator is entirely diff
ferent He propheses in public and then he propheses
while his private statements worthy of serious
sideration. While at Boise days ago Senator Du-
bois rractised both in public and in private His pub
shed interviews to the effect that President Wilson
would be renominated and reelected without hitch 1t
would simply be ratification of what the people have al
ready decided upon. That interview was greedi1y de-
voured by the faithful Later in the day. and for
days. the Senator took his friends out one by one and
told them the truth He is quoted about as follows:
Tim it is all right say that Woodrow has cinch
but don't you place any money him. The Democrats
will get the wallop of their lives in 1916 All of you who
can had better make hay during the years The
Republican party will sweep the country the next cleo
ton"

The Power of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear
ly visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising col
umns of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives f our people
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries of life We need more art sci
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are well balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns of
the rural press.
