EBNER CLOSING UP
RABBIT CAMPAIGN.


U. 8. Elmer, who has been in charge
Of rabbit determination work In South
eastern Idaho since about the first Of
the year. returned from Fremont and
onneville counties the first of the
week, to check up on his work here.
He reports excellent progress in the
upper country. In days drive in
one Of the worst infected sections two
months ago he saw only one rabbit.
Bossneville counties the first of the
bait pleced In one corral. He reports
a. many AZ 600 rabbits being killed
with one ounce of strychnine.
Mall awaiting him here brought m
tsresting information relating to the
work west Of here. Around DIETRICH
they are getting 700 rabbits with an
ounce Of strychnine and are hauling
them away with four horse team.
Around Jerome the rabbits are said to
be transmitting hog cholera by carry
ing the infection from one farm to an
other. II the infection can be car
ried by dogs, or ON the shoes Of men,
there 10 no reason why 1t con not be
widely distributed by rabbits.
Mr. Elmer expects to finish here IN
about two weeks, when he will leave
for Moscow, via Bo..e and after q
short stay there take up groundsQuir-
rel determination in the Dakotas for
the summer.

in order to reach a common ground
upon which all can stand. We do this
in business and social affairs every
day. Otherwise there would arise a
condition which would disturb busi-
ness and disrupt society.
Cooperation is the cornerstone of
our form Of government. 1t 10 the
foundation upon which business must
rest and the cement which holds so
ciety together. Divided we can ac-
complfSh little. United almost any
thing is possible OF achievement.
! am glad to note that the Repub-
licans Of Idaho and of the nation are
getting together. By Republicans
mean those who believe In the policy
of protection for American industries
and labor. the conserving Of the rights
and interests OF our own people rath-
er than comforting benefits upon for
eign peoples to the detriment OF our
own, and other Republican policies
which have brought stability and pros
perity to our country. The differences
we're not Of principles. but OF method
and prefermmt. These differences
have 30 largely been reconciled an
to give hope that they Will soon dis
appear, leaving those who believe In
protection to American labor, pro-
ducers and manufacturers, free tolls
for American shipping through Amer
lean canals. and prote 'tion Of the per-
sons and property OF American citi-
zens at home and abroad, arrayed SOL
idly against those who do not so be-
lieve, or at least whose policies do not
secure these ends.
Through the efforts OF, and under
the leadership OF such men as our
own matchless son, Senator William
e. Borah, the people Of Idaho and OF
the nation who believe IN prosperity
through protection are uniting for q
grand victory In November. Without
regard 10 polidcs1 utilization, ell the
people of Idaho may well have pride
in the standing and influence Of Sen
ator Borah. He b recognized - the

like Views AZ he Idaho should re-
sound with one rousing cheer for
Borah for President Of the United
States, from now until the leader is
chosen at the Chicago convention.
Our full duty, however. cannot be
performed by being loyal to Borah and
his ideals. We have our own prob
lens to solve. and cooperation IN solv-
ing them n essential TO success. These
are better living conditions, better
marketing and producing conditions.
better educational advantages and
better government at lower cost The
attainment Of all these 10 possible,
partly through community coopera-
ton In social and business affadrs,
and partly through legislation. The
important things are to first learn
what should be done and then to
unite for the purpose Of accomplish
ing IT. One thing that appeals strong
ly TO me 10 better education for our
boys and girls, to equip them to as
sumo the FUN responsibilities OF cit
izensh1p. Upon their shoulders will
soon fall the responsibilities we now
carry. and upon their training will
depend the future greatness Of our
country. II we do not give them .
better start than we had our lives
have been failures. They should not
only be given high ideals, but their
hands and heads should be tradned.
Instead Of going to school TO learn
how TO avoid work, they should be
taugh how to work anc lifted for the
work they are 10 follow. Our future
farmers might we'll know q little less

and . good deal more about agricui-

children are destined to follow agri-
cultural pursuats. Why not give them

contentment and prosperity, and lay
the foundation for better citisens than
any OF he higher studies can bring.
I do not mean to curtail our present
courses of instruction. but to enlarge
them by adding agriculture. and MAX
ing certain studies optional with ad-

will be Of practical benefit to thom
throughout their lives.
We have another duty, and that II
to make Idaho . taxless state. To do
