sentative just as long as he will
honestly serve them. During Mr..
Sims long career be has never cast
vote of which he is or was asham-
ed, or for which it was necessary
for him to apologize, nor has Mr..
Porter challenged a single act or
vote Of Mr.. Sims twenty years Of
activity. sufficient of itself to re-
elect the Congressman.
Every vote he has cast has been
in keeping with principle; he does
nothing for expedieEcy or for show /;
he has none Of the qualities Of the
professional politician and shuns
notoriety and evades the press
agent. He is conferred with by
President Wilson in presenting the
administration measures and enjoys
the esteem and confidence of the
President and Congressional lead
ers.
Our interest in Mr.. Sims dates
back many years before he entered
public life. He can not boast that
one grandfather was a Governor
and the other a member Of Congress
as does his opponent, but his grand
fathers were of the sturdy farmer
class who earned their living by
the sweat of their brow. Mr.. Sims
had to make his own way in every
thing he has undertaken in life.
As struggling young man he was
known to be so honorable and de-
pendable that he had no difficulty
in getting friends to lend him the
money to 60 to school and later as
a struggling young lawyer repaid
every obligation. He is conserva-
tive in act and temperate in speech,
and especially now when the honor
of the country is being tried, do we
need that conservatism and balance
of which he is possessed. The dis
trict should be congratulated that
Mr.. Sims offers for reelection and
our good fortune to have such
man to be our Representative.

LET'S BOOST A
CLEAN TOWN.

We find a disposition among
some of Camden's citizens to put
the blame for the unssnitary and
unsightly condition Of the town on
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
They overlook the fact that there
are no available funds for cleans
ing the town and that the present
officials eau not be held RESPONSE
BILE because they are new in har-
ness. They have also overlooked
another fact, that virtue and clean
illness can not be legislated into
people.
We seem to have gone mad on
the subject Of demanding laws to
curb or cure this and that evil and
decidedly Indifferent to enforcing
them. Camden has good sanitary
laws, but until we all join hands in
spreading the gospel of cleanliness
and getting right up behind the
Board Of Health they will not be
enforced. We had an illustration
of this last year.
Responding to call for that
purpose, the ladies Of Camden met
and organized the Woman's Civic
Improvement League. Cleanli-
ness, you know, is an instinct with
women which has survived in spite
Of the fact that man is fundament-
ally lazy and many are untidy.
With this idea in view, some of
our citizens who feel an interest in
the matter decided it would be
good policy to turn the town over
to the ladies.
The Chronicle took q keen inter-
est in the leagues organization, for
we felt at the time that it would
solve the problem of cleansing and
identifying our town. Bur THE
LEAGUE DIED BEFORE CoMpLRT-
ING ITS ORGANIZATION !! Why I?
The only plausible solution we
have to offer is, public sentiment
was overwhelmingly against it.
We make this statement advisedly,
for we heard many comments on
the league, not one Of which was
favorable to it.
Instead Of pledging support and
encouraging the ladies, we heard
such comments as "She never saw

AFTER TW ENTY
YEARS OF SERVICE.

the Congressional primary. 1t
goes without saying the Progress
never fails to find genuine pleasure
in the announcement that Mr.. Sims
offers for reelection. We have not
only been an observer Of local con-
ditions but we have keenly watched
the expressed sentiment throughout
the Congressional District, and
noted with satisfaction that the vo-
ter year after year becomes less ex-
cited over the personal ambitions
of the candidates aud more con-
cerned over the service to be rem
dered and, with a growing tenden-
oy, y,"to let well enough alone"
When Mr.. Porter made his an
nouncement to make this second
try-out as Congressional candi-
date, one tried to make a survey of
conditions as to his availability,
and, since we must Judge things
by comparison, we tried to figure,
even giving him the benefit of
every doubt, in what way he could
be considered as a more formidable
candidate than was General How
ard two years ago. General How
ard was quite the equal if not the
superior intellectually; a much old
er man with a broader experience;
he was a public official whose peo-
pie had reelected him and kept him
in Office for more than twenty years
as Attorney General, and no man,
especially one Of General Howard's
temperament, could SO long mix
with a people without making
friends, and such friends as would
have and exercise personal inter-
est in his political fortunes. Out
side Of Henry County there are
not 10 men Of political strength
who have a personal interest in
Porter on Porter's account, for
those who are supporting him are
not specially for Porter but just
opposed to Congressman Sims.
General Howard is a more "lika-
bic" man personally, better "mix-
err as it is called. He had large
personal acquaintance in eight of
the ten counties of the district,
knowing practically every voter in
seven of the counties where he
held court--he knew intimately
fifty times the number of voters
that does Porter; he had influential
relatives in five Of the ten counties
OF the district which gave him a
strength Porter can not command.
He had an Office to surrender in
event Of his advancement to Con-
gress and from political viewpoint
this was valuable asset; yet with
all this advantage as we see it in
lis favor as against Mr.. Porter's
availability, General Howard could
not succeed against Mr.. Sims, and
there was a. reason the reason be-
ing that the people felt that they
had in Congressman Sims man
wholly equipped for the place, who
stands as high as any man in the
Congress Of the United States, and
Whose every effort and attention
has been to serve the people Of
this district. The one thing that
Porter can gay that General How
srd was estopped from using is that
hs has never held Office and be-
heves in rotation Of public officials.
This is an argument, however, that
appeals only to the fewt the very
Few that aspire to Office, simply as

ernment service. The voter now

MANY TROUBLES DUE
TO WEAK KIDNEYS

It's no use advertising O medicine
unless the medicine itself is good
enough to back up the claims you make
for it," said Charles l.. JOY, the pop
ular druggist, to Boise man. "On
the other hand it is pleasure to sell a
medicine when our customers come in
afterward and tell us how much good
it has done them. And that is why
we like to sell and recommend Solvax,
the great kidney remedy Ever since
we first introduced Solvax in Boise our
clerks have been so busy selling it
that we have a hard time keeping
sufficient stock on hand. We have so
much faith in this article that we are
going to guarantee it in the future and
will return the money to any pur-
chaser of Solvax whom it does not
help. This may seem rash but our GUS
toners have said so many good words
i'll it's favor that we do not expect to
have many packages returned"
This shows great faith in Solvax
1t really is a most unusual medicine
because it overcomes the worst cases
of kidney complaint by removing the
cause. 1t goes straight to the seat of
the trouble. 1t soaks right in and
cleans out the kidneys and makes them
pass off all the uric acid and poison
Gus waste matter that lodges in the
joints and muscles, causing rheumatic
pains; soothes and heals the bladder

Nothing is more uncomfortable or

Nampa, March 2s.-Detaii arrange
ments for the big Chamber of Com
merce membership campaign have now
been perfected. It is the plan to di-
vide all present members into two
squads, each headed by a captain.
These members will be furnished with
pins bearing the emblem Of the or

blue pins and the other red pins. The
squads will be known as the blues and
the reds respectively, and every MEM
Der will be a campaigner for more

have extra pins to be given to those
from whom he takes application
1t is the plan that at the end of
the big campaign, the squad turning In
the fewest applications Is to foot the
expenses of a grand banquet at which
time all applicants will be duly elect
ed members Of the organization.
It is also planned, in order to inject
a little more competition between the
reds and blues, to have q large dial
erected on some prominent corner OF
the city. This dial will be painted red
on one half and blue on the other. It

be turned forward each day to figures
on the red and blue sides, indicating
respectively, the number of applica-
tons turned in by the reds and blues.
This arrangement, 1t is hoped, will
inject sufficient competition between
the TWO squads to boost the members
beyond the 800 mark set. Pins have
now been ordered and the dial is in
the course of construction. As soon as
these arrangements have been made

possible vigor. AS to the matter of
