MORE REFORMS.

All the world that is not now
lighting is PROSTATE with grief over
the absolute failure" OF what is
termed Christian Civilization" Most
OF those who have not been pros
trated with grief, being so overcome
with the barbaric spirit as not to be
able to feel grief, have been or will
be Frustrated by weapons of warfare.
Many lost sight of the fact that moral
advancement has been made, and it
VIII continue to be made. To the
dispairing ones The World cites Cald-
well, and what has been done in Cald-
well has been done in other towns, in
Idaho, and elsewhere also Where it
has not been done it will be done,
and will be evidence of a gradual, al
though slow moral uplift
Caldwell is almost we'll, morally,
needing but little more doctoring to
be entirely cured Of sin sickness. 1t is
a wonderful reform town. Caldwell
has been reforming for many years
and is still going ahead seeking more
worlds of sin and evil to conquer. The
last and least are checker-playing and
tiddledewinks. The latter will wink
out when its time comes, and check
ers will not simply be checked, but
all its moves will be blocked com
pletely. When they go Caldwell will
be the center from which the millen-
MUM will spread and its ligh will il
illuminate the whole world. This
glorious effulgiencc is already begin
ming to radiate and surrounding towns
arc catching glimpse of it and re-
joice as they see it dispensing the
gloomy fogs of many forms Of sin
and unrighteousness
The Caldwell Tribune gives brief
review of reforms accomplished and
proposed, but The World is sorry to
see that said paper has not been thor
oughly regenerated. 1t sets up bo-

TOO MANY SPASMS FOR
KANSAS.

Even Kansas, the world-famed poll
teal experimenter, has found that the
direct primary law throws too many
political spasmS for its freak-loving
temperament to stand under, and a
bill will be introduced to repeal that
law during the present legislature.
The present Idaho law was a cross
between the Kansas and California
laws. and is said to combine the good
qualities of both; which if true, lord

compulsory clause VIII cause indii-
icrcnt voters to go TO the polls anil

the present primary law is to be con

the primary should he heavily fined
or the right to vote taken from them

when only some forty or fifty per cent
of the voters avail themselves of it

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE
PHILIPPINES.

All OF us. even those who opposed
him bitterly in his last race for the
presidency, are forced TO admit that
on one topic William Howard Taft
needs TO take a rear seat for no one.
On the Filipino question he is wise to
all the details, as is evidenced by such
remarks as the following, which were
made at a recent senate committee
meeting in answer to the inquiry from
Senator Hitchcock as to what would
happen il self-government were Civ
en- the natives at once, says the Glenn
Ferry Gazette.
"A Filipino in whom | have great
confidence" said Mr.. Taft, said to
me: Your steamer would not be
around Corregidor island before the
throat-cutting would begin verify
believe that is true. We find the same
condition in Mexico. The man who
loses a political fight has head for a
forfeit. That's what developed when
Aguinaldo was in power. I'm describ-
ing an actual condition there. I'd be

the MOST Beautiful woman no TAG
Ever Seen.

thousands of dollars in one evening by
the gift of her voice. When Hiram
Smith first took her in his boat he
stared at her till he nearly lost his
oars. She was the most beautiful wo
man whom he had ever seen. AND
when she sang, the world seemed sud
denly a thing of crystal and fire te

votion Of the young fisherman. Tc
her, a woman of the world, who had
won the homage of noblemen in al!
the countries of Europe, who had been
the sensation of seasons in Paris and
London, it seemed astonishing that he
should presume to love her. She
played with him, aping the ingenue
with skill that concealed something
of real emotion. In that week at Run
dies Bay she regained little of the
first freshness of her mind; it was a
new world that she encountered when
she returned, and that winter she was
the sensation of the operate world.
And on the last evening Hiram
Smith offered her his heart and
hand" Those were his words, she told
the laughing crowd at the hotel. He
wanted her to share his cottage and
his lobster pots! And when she had
shriveled his self-esteem with a few
kindly, yet cutting words. he said sim
ply:
II will win you yet"
That was the climax Of her story.
and the opera stars yelled as they
heard it told in Marian's inimitabls
way, and clutched at one another to
keep themselves from falling. Early
next morning the party went away

again. He disappeared for two years
When he returned he deposited .
thousand dollars in the bank and

and the shrewdest at bargaining. He

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 of 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 wen balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render service
by teaching the advantages Of modern
equipment throughout the columns OF
the rural press.
