FAIR AND CARNIVAL FESTIVITIES.

AS is usual customary and to be expected the tranquil
ity of mind of few people disturbed at the fair
activities and carnival festivities 1t does not take great
deal to disturb people and especially they who
looking for an opportunity to be disturbed. Most any
will suit the purpose all else failing
There are people who look upon public dance SER
ous upon the various catchpenny games as de-
vices of the devil for the encouragement of gambling
These people are always offended thing other
We sympathze with them but there is nothing that
can do for their peace of mind.
1t seems to that fair week passed off remarkably
WE'LL There were between 10000 and $1,000 people in
town during the week There only two or three
arrests no disturbances of consequence little drunkenness
couple of of pocket picking reported the
last day of the week The police officers had the situation
credit to the city and county peace officers.
The members of the carnival company conducted them
selves like ladies and gentlemen The great majority of
the people who attended the fair will be pleasd to
them back here at any time. We understand from re-
marks made that they will be glad back for ano-
Their fair This is it should be. Everybody is well
pleased All had good enjoyable week and at cost
everybody could afford The of carnival is
to afford amusement. The amusement furnished by
Campbell carnival company the satisfaction of 90
out of every hundred people who visited Caldwell
during the week We venture the assertion that the car
nva will be the attraction succeeding fair
as it was at the just closed.
Those who do not enjoy such festivities always re-
main at home Nobody will force them spend nickle
or see thing that is offensive to them.

that President Wilson and advisers awake to the
danger which threatens the country If they had been
statesmen of little greater breadth of mind they would
have the danger little time They would
not have back up the Underwood tariff law, be-
cause they would never have had it.
The danger which will threaten at the close of the war
had been apparent the great majority of the American
people all the time They had experience under the
Wilson bill during the Cleveland administration which
they never forgot They had experience under the
Underwood tariff bill which fast bringing the same

PRESIDENT WILSON FOR PREPAREDNESS.

President Wilson has changed his mind again Changing
his mind is of his principle activities. Our president
don't change his mind often he does his shirt but
he changes it quite often enough After trying every
thing else he finally gets right He has done in regard
military preparedness
short time ago the President in message to Con-
gress stated that United States prepared for all
emergencies from military point of view. The talk Of
the country being unprepared he attributed to false alarm
ists mitarists and denounced buncombe. He had
consulted with Secretary Daniels who had assured him
that the navy in fine state of preparedness. He
evidently did consult with Secretary Garrison who
not long afterwards pointed that the country not
prepared and who went to great lengths in the North
American Review to show that the country not pre-
pared Be all that may the President and Mr. Daniels
have mapped program that meets with the endorse
ment of the country. Now going to build navy
that will put second among the nations of the world in
stead of poor fifth We pleased to have the pres-
dent change his mind But just what do you think of
president who makes such sweeping changes every time
there is a change of the moon?
1t would be bad if the changes effected only
policy All policies are effected President Wilson has
changed his mind every question with which he has
had to do since becoming President of the United States
with the sole exception of questions growing of the
European He has repudiaed the Baltimore platform
upon which he was candidate; dismissed principles o.
government which he hal held to for years before be
coming politician; and completely turned face upon poll
ces which he has advocated since becoming president W.

THE BUILDING OF A BRIDGE.

Charles Benz Ross comes from the fertile and smiling
Roswell bench. Shortly after he became county commits
sioner became noised about that the Parma Roswell
bridge became alarming. 1t finally became dangerous and
is now dead The bridge will be torn down and new
structure erected Canyon county taxpayers will dig up
$4,000 during the FIVE for the purpose of
building bridge The Tribune has objections to
the bridge We interested solely in the inward work
ings of the Democratic mind when applied to public af
fairs 1t is stated upon good authority that the Parma
Roswell bridge in condition than the bridge
across the Boise river this city 1t also stated
on good authority that if the Parma
Roswell bridge every minutes that ten teams the
Caldwell bridge every two minutes However that two
bridges are in bad condition is why neither
should be replaced.
little while ago there up for consideration the
proposition of building bridge Snake river giving
the people of Owyhee county much needed outlet This
bridge needed and needed badly 1t would be great
convenience hundreds of people At that time, how
ever Canyon county poverty stricken that it could
not afford to contribute $4,000 toward the bridge 1t is
easy for the county find $1,000 for bridge at
, Roswell.
We call attention this matter in order that may
appreciate Democratic economy applied. The Demo
cratic mind works wonderfully when set in opera
ton Our present board of county commissioners are
simon-pure Democrats.

SELECTING SEED FROM
YOUR CORN CROP
Good Seen Increases Yield at Same
Expense thus Reducing Cost.

Select your seed corn now," is
advice as oft repeated at this season
of the year as, do your Christmas
and "Clean up" are at others. The
great value of good seed is the motive
of the injunction to save seed corn
at harvest time. Surveys have shown
that the yield of corn in one county
of corn state would have been in
creased by the sum of $2l an acre
throughout the county, other things
being equal, if correct selection of
seed had been made. Since "other
things were to have been equal" it is
plain that the cost would have re-
manned the same, so that the $2l
would have represented a net profit,
minus only the additional cost of Sc
lection. 1t is safe to say that at
least $40 an acre would have been
cleared by proper seed selection, dis
playing a profit of $1,000 for each of
the 100 farmers whose l00-acre crop
was surveyed. Additional harvest
cost would have been something, but
that is an item that growers delight
to pay.
Since Idaho is not, with a very
few exceptions, a natural corn state
and since by proper methods profit
able corn crops can be grown, es-
pecially for hogging off, silage and a
few other purposes, it is especially
necessary to take advantage of all
feasible means to increase the yield
and lower the production cost. Good
seed and acclimated seed are among
the most important of these means
and are entitled to leading place in
the program of corn production. Good
seed can be secured by purchase, il
one is willing and able to pay the
price, but seed acclimated to Idaho
conditions, cannot be purchased at any
price except as it was grown in the
locality for which the seed is intend.
ed
1t is thus apparent that the neces-
sity for proper selection of seed
corn is OF even more importance to
Idaho growers than to those in states
where the industry is we'll establish.
