A word-picture of the tragedy of

The governor then dwelt briefly on
each of the following great measures

bill, rural credits law, income tax.
"As result of the rural credits law"
said the governor, "the lands of Can

Woodrow Wilson is the liberator of

Mother Praises Remedy
That Relieved Her BABY
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Is a Dependable Family
Laxative.

Nearly all the sickness incident to
baby's life Is due to constipation, or
inaction of the bowels. At the first in
dication of irregularity in this import
ant function, relief should be afforded
promptly. A mild laxative should be
administered to gently carry off the
congested waste and leave the stomach
and bowels free to perform their al
lotted tasks.
or the various remedies recommend
ed to relieve constipation, the combina-
ton of simple laxative herbs with pep
sin, as prescribed by DIR. w. b. Cald-
we'll and sold in drug stores under the
name Of DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin
is the most effective. 1t contains no Opt
ate or narcotic drug, is pleasant to the
taste. mild and gentle in action, and
quickly brings the desired relief in an
easy, natural manner.
Mrs. c. j. Douglas, Mason, ILL.,, writes
that she cannot say enough in praise OF
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin as a de-
pendable family laxative. Little Mary

Il promised to lower your taxes, and
1 am here to tell you what I did"
The governor then told the story Of
his wonderful fight against the united
and most bitter opposition to reduce
the state taxes. Again summing up the
result of bis great fight, the governor
said: It saved $535,000 in taxes, $685.
900 in bonds and $4,000 in vetoed
bills, making total saving of $1,120,-
900 to the tax payers of the state"
There are just as honest men
among those of one party as in any
other party said the governor. He
made it clear that the politicians tried
desperately to put him in a hole by
making the taxes higher instead of
lower. But the governor won his fight,
and saved money for the tax payers.
my message to you tonight is that
saved the state $1,120.000," he said.
You heard the story about Nose and
the million dollars Well. Nose is be-
fore you, and the million dollars Is In

The governor urged that the Demo-
cratic legislative ticket be sent to the
| legislature next winter.

PIONEER OF THE
NORTHWEST DIES
IN California
4. H. Boomer, Former
Prominent Resident of
Boise, Passes Away at His
Home in San Jose.

A.. Fl. Boomer, one Of the pioneers of
the northwest, whose name is linked
with the history and development of
Idaho, and whose estimable wife is
known as the Mother of the Idaho
regiment" died this morning at his
home at San Jose, Cal. A telegram re-
ceived this morning by Craig Coffin
from his son, Preston II. Boomer, brief
ly announced the death of the well
known pioneer.
Mr.. Boomer came west in July, 1870,
~ representative and manager of the
Northwestern Stage company, COM
posed of a number of eastern capital
lists, who had purchased the stage in
terests of John Haley. Mr.. HALEY met
Mr.. Boomer at Kelton, Utah, and there
turned over to him the books and
holdings Of the company, which he
managed successfully for number uf
years, after which the stage lines again
passed into the hands of Mr.. HALEY,
who took over the management, al
though Mr.. Boomer retained his inter-
est. In 1870 Mr.. Boomer went into the
Wells Fargo Express company's office
as their agent, and in 1883, with two
s other associates, purchased the stage
I line business again and continued to
operate 1t until crowded out by the
railroads.
a3 ORGANIZER OF BANK.
Mr.. Boomer was one OF the organiz-
ers of the Boise City National bank
and was one of the first directors OF
that institution. He was also interested
in other business enterprises here and
was known as shrewd and efficient
business man. After residing in Idaho
for a number of years, he returned east
and going to New York took big con-
tract there to deliver all the mail II
that city to and from trains and steam
ships and successfully carried it out
for a number of years. Falling health
caused his return to the west and after
O short residence here, he moved his
family to California and made thai
state his home although both Mr.. ant
Mrs. Boomer have made frequent visit:
to Idaho and have really claimed Boise
as their home.
During the Spanish American war
Mr.. and Mrs. Boomer were residents O.

evRoPE's CRUSHING WAR DEBT

Exclusive Of Bulgaria and Turkey,
the nations at war in Europe have
contracted debts during the two years
Of conflict aggregating approximately
5000, 100000. The total population
Of these six nations before the war
was lOS, 500, 900, and their aggregate
debt then was s26,1so, 100000, or ss4
per capita.
That debt has thus been almost
doubled within two years for war pur-
poses exclusively. and their grand TO-
tai Of debt now stands at about s1e7
per capita. This is exclusive Of local
public debt. The net public debt Of
the American people, inclusive Of mu-
nicipal debt IL about $50 per capita.
This does not tell the story in all its
impressiveness.j Russia still has q
small debt per capita-hardly more
than $50.
But the figures as given in detail
show for Germany war debt already
amounting to 5000 per capita on the
basis Of ante-bellum population, and
Germany started the war with per
capita debt Of SIS. They show for
France . per capita war debt Of near
$3.50. with an added per capita debt
before the war Of s160. They show
for. Britain q per capita war debt OF
near $500 (part for her allies). with a
per capita debt before the war Of $780,
And the war goes on. The unprece'
derted mountain Of debt will be piled
still higher. No one Of these nations
~ yet shows signs Of financial col
lapse. No one Of them is likely to in

Mr. Hughes told the farmers OF
North Dakota that he believed In pro-
lection. That he stood for tariff
that would protect the farmers with
out abuse. That sounds good and was
uttered purely for vote-catching pur.
poses. There is no such thing as a
tariii that will protect everybody. A
tariff that protects certain classes,
levies tax on those not protected to
pay for 1t. For instance, II the man.
ufacturer Of shoes in the East is pro-
tected by a high tariff, the wearers OF
the shoes in the South must pay this
