try, and demanding that he be i'm
mediately honored by election to an
office he cannot fill without resigning
the position he holds. 1t is the first
time in the history of the state that
a man has attempted to secure politi-
cal honors while serving in the state
militia. The militia is being worked
night and day by Captain Patch and
his friends. 1t would seem that the
regimental headquarters had been
turned into a political bureau which
has for the ultimate purpose the crea-
ton of Payette County.

The Tribune has criticised the
State Land Board on innumerable oc-
casions. At this time we feel that the
board is entitled to the heartiest con-
gratulations, and it would exhibit a
meaner spirit than we trust we have,
to withhold commentator for this
appointment. We are convinced that
the members of the State Land Board
have already done much to fully ex-
onerate themselves from error by this
appointment. The only disconcertlng
feature of the appointment is that the
State Board of Education loses a
splendid member.

RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

The decent, self-respecting candi-
date for office must be disgusted with
many of the things against which they
run in their canvass. There is an
element of sanctified hypocrites who
devote their time and talents to
creating and spreading false impress
ions; enlarging upon actual happen
ings; and dwelling with malignant
pleasure on trivial, unimportant state
ments, or the manner in which such
statements are made. These hypo-
critics feel that candidates are entitled
to no consideration and that the only
way of promoting the fortunes of one
is by misrepresenting and vilifying
the other.
There are four candidates for the
Republican nomination for governor.
These four men are decent, respect
able men, In their home communi-
ties they are considered good neigh
bors, good citizens and good men in
every sense of the word. Not one OF
them could get any considerable sup
port at home unless he possessed the
ordinary qualifications which are ad-
mired and respected. He must be
honest in his dealings, sincere in his
attitude of mind and ambitious OF
honorably serving the people of Ida
no. Such man, whether you wish
him elected to office or not, is en-
titled to the courtesy and considera-
tion that one gentleman always ac-
cords to another gentleman.
1t has come to our attention that
story is in circulation that one of the
candidates, while in Caldwell, gave
uterance to an oath. In consequence
OF this slip of the tongue this candi-
date has been called to account. There
are people who pretend to think that
an oath is more heinous crime than
a lie Isn't that an important matter
to use for campaign purposes?
Whether this candidate swore or not
is so trivial matter as to be un-
worthy of serious consideration.
We have noted that another can
didate is accused of having opposed
particular Sunday rest law some four
or five years ago. The present Sun
day rest law is farce and yet if
candidates pronounces the honest
convictions of thousands of people he
ie in the ,indS Of come Deon1e l1t-
terly unworthy.
q We note that still another candidate
is accused of not having been wild
over local option at some time or
other in the past. The question has
been settled in Idaho but this mans
view of eight or ten years ago, and
views which he may or may not en-
tertain at this time, are brought forth
as reasons why he should not be sup
ported by certain elements.
Still the fourth candidate was in
measure, uninterested to the extent
that he did nothing of public record
one way or the other. This fact is
urged as a reson why he should not
be elected governor.
Answering, explaining or defending
such trivial matters as these should,
and unquestionably does, disgust de-
cent men. 1t is a wonder that self
respecting men are willing to become
at all. .. f.. ...e

APPOINTMENT OF HARLAND.

The appointment of H. H. Harland
as register of the state land board will
go long way toward the complete
restoration of confidence in the State
Land Board. We know of no man
whose appointment to this office
would be more pleasing to the people
of Canyon county and the state OF

not believe that there is much wrong

Women Are Barred.

Women are barred from entering the
business of swordmakers in Japan.
Not only is prayer offered up before
the work begins. but various religious
rites peculiar to the Japanese are per-
formed in order that the swords, when
finally completed, may be said to have
been well and truly made. Even the
final processes of polishing and sharp
ening are characterized by certain re-
ligious ceremonies, and finally the
weapons are offered, one by one, to
the sword god to be blessed. The cere.
mony consists in placing the swords
in front of the goddess of the Shintos
on the wall. with an offering of sake,
rice and sweetmeats, after which
prayer scrolls are read and blessing
upon the work is invoked.

"could" Play the Game, But

Although he will not get many OPP
portunities of playing In cricket
matches this year, George Robey will
help to keep himself fit by practicing
at the nets at Lords.
The famouse comedian has a great
love for the summer game, and he tells
an amusing story of one of those off
days, when everything goes wrong,
which once befell him. He was watch
ing a game when enc of the captains
came up to him, explained that he was
"a man short" and asked him if he
would play.
Certainly" agreed Robey.
He went out to field, and chiefly dis
tinguished himself by missing two
catches, fumbllng the ball, and so on.
Not content with that, he made duck
when he went in to bat.
The captain who had got him to play
took things badly.
''Why, you can't play at all !" ne said
sneeringIy.

tically, "when you asked me to play
you asked me IL / would, not If I
could. And so that's that."-Pearson'

Pencils Made Sterile.

School physicians have recently de-

deadly work as disseminators of dis
ease germs. The lead pencils for an
entire room are usually in charge of
the teacher and are distributed when
they are needed for class work. Chill
dren habitually moisten the pencils In
their mouths, a practice more unsani-
tary than the use of the old fashioned
slate cleaned with saliva. 1t is now
proposed to have the pencils fumi.

WHAT IS YOUR WIFE WORTH?
Wisconsin Professor Has Tried to
Estimate Uxorial Value In
Dollars and Cents.

A Wisconsin professor of home eco
Monies has made an exact estimate
of what a wife is worth to her hus-
band in dollars and cents, says the
indianapolis Star. 1t Is asserted that
she should be credited with earning
the difference between the cost of raw
material and the finished product that
she turns out.
lust what this is he can learn by
estimating food items; for example
by noting the difference between the
cost of a barrel of -four and the cost
Of bakers loaves made from the con-
tents of such a barrel. A more direct
method. however, is by hiring house
keeper to do the cooking and dress
making and other labors performed
by the wife. Unfortunately this is
seldom done until the wife has gone
to heaven, so that she fails to bene
fit by the husbands discovery.
There is reason to believe, however
that no wife who holds herself In
due respect will accept this so-called
scientific estimate of her value to the
family. She knows very we'll that she
is worth more in actual money thar
