The effort should be to build Of trained

Pullman Tribune.-The farmers
Of Nez Perez county are advocating
an issue of $500, 900 worth Of bonds
for permanent road building in
that county. The campaign appar-
emily is being conducted by the
farmers organizations and in the
rural communities, and the rural
press of the county has been the
most active and loyal in forwarding
the work. The rural communities
are to be congratulated upon the
alertness and interest which is be-
ing displayed in this work for better
highways, and a number Of COM
munications from farmers have ap-
peared in the papers in the adjacent
sections of Idaho which set forth in
a thoughtful and informed manner
the advantages and benefits to be
derived from a better system of
roads. With this movement in the
sister state, the people of this Sec
ton are most heartily in sympathy.
The Palouse country has been fam
Gus all over the Uniteds States as a
farming district. The people have
labored at first for better local
highways and gradually have come
to realize the necessity for the ex-
tension of these highways and for
connections with the highways of
adjacent states. 1t is an advantage
for the people of this section to be
able to get to all parts of this state,
but it is also an advantage to be
able to get easily and conveniently
to Nez Perez county and to the
Camas prairie and Nez Perez prairie
sections of Idaho. A good means
of intercommunication and contact
with the adjacent portions of Idaho
is almost as valuable to us as good
local roads, so it is matter of in
terest to see that the neighbors in
Idaho are fully awake to the advan-
tages and benefits to be derived by
the improvement and permanent
construction of the highways in
both states.

what kings envy peasants. pluto

clean conscience, the voice of a
pure soul, the birth cry of mirth,
the swan-song of sadness.

KENDRICK

The Gazette regrets that lack of
space forbids the publication of
Governor Alexander's message to
the people of Idaho, showing how,
unassisted by a Republican legisla-
ture, he far more than redeemed
his pledge to reduce appropriations
million dollars, but the totals,
which are published, prove his
statements. The amount saved by
gubernatorial vetoes, will effect a
reduction of thirty-seven per cent
in state taxes and had the Republic
can legislators redeemed their
promises and helped cut expenses it
would have been much greater.
The criticism Of the governor by
the Statesman and the little flock
of journalistic "Me too" pee wees
that ape it, will only result in call
ing attention to his splendid record
and to the unenviable record of the
legislature.
