Some two and a half years ago,
during ex.Prosecutor Maher's
tenure of Office, he started a suit
against ex-Commissioner VIM.
Townsend to amerce the latter in
the sum of $32, 900 for being in
terested as a county commission
er in contracts with the county
and to secure the same for the
use of Darke county. There were
sixteen counts against Townsend,
the penalty being $4,000 on each
count. Townsend's attorneys fill
ed 4 demurrer to the prosecutors
petition to recover these penal
ties, holding that the statute of
limitation had expired and that
the suit should have been filed
within a year after the alleged
misconduct in office had occurred,
which it was not. Judge Tee
garden, who was on the bench at
that time and heard the case,
held that the statute of limitation
had not expired, as the suit was
brought in behalf of the state.
The attorneys for Townsend con-
tended it was brought in behalf
of Darke county. and the penal
ties could not now be collected
fer above reasons. The case has
since then been dragging along
through the courts and was final
ly appealed and submitted to

Flat Foot.

tat WIZ
The early pain of fat foot can
be quieted by having both sole
and heel of the shoe made
wedge shaped, with the thick
edge on the inner side. That
throws the weight of the body
on the outer side of the foot.
Sometimes the sufferer has to
have an "arch' in the sole OF
the shoe, but he had better do
without it if he can and discard
it as soon as the arch ceases to
show signs of giving way, Cold
douches or alternate cold ana
hot douches will also strengthen
the fibrous structures that nor
mally hold up the arch of the

SENATOR BoRAH AND THE PRESIDENCY.

Senator Borah The Tribune is informed has grown
wonderfully during the past ten years We had noted no
great change In years gone by he was little shifty-a
little timd as it were Now told he knows his own
mind and is not afraid that others know it. We pleased
to learn that Senator Borah has grown. Courage is
greatly needed public and the Senator has
hooked any great degree of it he have reached pres
Dental size. The Tribune will have to be shown.
In 1896 Mr.. Borah first into prominence in state
affairs At that time he was Silver Republican He was
close follower and great admiror of William Jennings
Bryan In 1898 Idaho still strongly prosver but
showing evidence of change of heart In keeping with
this change of public sentiment Mr. Boah started to feel
change of mind By 1900 Idaho again in the Repub
lican column and of course Mr. Borah the band
wagon. He remained Republican until 1912. In that
year the Progressive party threatened defeat the Re-
publican party and nation. When the Republican
party was in danger Mr.. Borah did know where he
was. Past experiences had taught him be careful in
changing his political allegiance He dared not leave the
sves He remained the fence running a Republican
nominee and flirting with the leaders of the Bull Moose
movement. Up to the time of the last election he still

the Progressive movement had collapsed Up bobs

The above paragraph gives Mr.. Borahs political history
in nutshell There may be Republicans who think that
he is ideal candidate for the presidency They look to
him a compromise candidate. He is Henry Clay, all
right, compromise but that is about all Borah is on
all sides of all questions He hopes that by constantly

RURAL CREDIT AND THE
WESTERN SETTLER
Editor, Caldwell Tribune:

Editor, Caldwell Tribune:
Long before Congress began to
haggle over the question of rural
credit, Europe realized that the first
great stride in solving the problem OF
the high cost of living is to descend
% the source of supplies, and by max
ing the producing unit more effective,
to increase the nations product. Rural
credit, the object of which is, by long
time low interest bearing loans, to bet
ter stock and equip the farms. has
been so successful in European coun-
tries that there it is a thoroughly es-
tablished institution.
1t is anticipated that the next Con-
gress will act on one Of the rural ere.
dit propositions now before the coun-
try.
By all odds the best proposition is
stitutlon for the purpose. The loan
would be made, either from the sur
plus funds OF the government, which
draw two per cent interest in the
banks, or bond would issue for the
face value of the loan, which would
sell in one of the markets of the
world and which, with the additional
security suggested further on should
ind ready market bearing as low
IN interest as per cent. About one
per cent would be added for expenses
connected with the bank, and one per
cent for amortization, making six per
cent annually paid by the borrower.
The one per cent amortization
would be applied from year to year
to paying off the debt Though the
debt would steadily diminish, the Dor
rover would continue 20 pay 6 per
cent on the face value of the loan, all
over interest and actual expenses 90

end of the loan period it would be
completely dissolved.

cles where it would be least expected.

stricted to agricultural sections.
In three particulars the benefits of
rural credit would reach all classes

THE PEOPLE WILL NOT STAND FOR 1T.

In special to The Tribune from Boise published in
our last ISSUE Captain E. G. Davis himself of
the opinion that the people OF Idaho Will not amend the
constitution as to enable the build north and
south railroad We believe that Captain Davis has rightly
gagged public sentiment The people of Idaho fear
full of the engaging in the railroad business north
and south railroad is highly desirable 1t would open up
for proper exploitation great land and timber
1t would bring sections of Idaho closer together
The great objection the enterprise is that would

not ready to create more avenues. for
spending the public moneys.

state county and the city issued bonds for the
purpose of building railroads Some Of these bonds have
not paid this day In other instances bonds were
authorized and sold but mile of railroad built In
one instance in Nebraska railroad built into town and
train in for the purpose of tearing the track The
whole history of railroad building in those is
