John L. Bradley
Announces

Former Senator John L. Bradley Of
Desloge, st. Francois county, is the
first candidate to file for State Au.
ditor. He gave out the following
statement, declaring his platform
reviewing his public record and Civ
ing reasons for asking for the nomi-
nation.
Eight years ago." he said, II was
q candidate for State Auditor, and
was beaten by Mr.. Gordon by only
HOO votes, carrying rs out of ia
counties, Notwithstanding | had a
strong opponent in an adjoining coun-
ty of mine. ! stumped the State fif-
ty days for the ticket in that cam
paign, and four years ago | did not
offer myself as candidate when Mr..
Gordon sought the nomination for a
second term.
Following is my platform:
81. | believe in the old Democrat
ic doctrine of rotation in office; that
no man is entitled to more than two
terms of any State office.
"2. If l am elected / shall not
place any of my family on the State
payroll.
SO. l shall never O. X. or sign a
warrant on the. State Treasurer in
favor of any person unless he or she
has rendered services to the State.
"a. As a member of the Board Of
Equalization, ] shall do all in my pow
er to adequately equalize the taxa
BILE property in the State and to do all
in my power to help locate the taxable
property not now taxed.
"5. l shall never take trip out
side the State or within the State at
the expense of the taxpayers unless
directed to do so by an act of the Leg
islature or commissioned by the Gov
ernor.
"6. If elected State Auditor / shall
discharge the duties of that Office
with fairness to all and promise not
to use it as means of reelection.
at is my desire that the interests
of the party and the taxpayers be
placed above my candidacy as it
should be above the candidacy of any
man seeking this or any other Office.
~ cannot place my claims before
the voters through an organized Of
flee force or by any political machine
that l have had years to build, but
can only do it personally from the
stump and through friends. If l am
elected / will conduct the affairs of
that Office in way that will elimi-
nate all censure and criticism.
"My legislative record in the House
and Senate in behalf Of the wage
earners is an open book. / was au-
thor of many laws affecting their in
and an investigation will
show that introduced and cham
pioned safe, sound, clean and con-
structive legislation and voted right"

"R" THE DOG LETTER"

The letter R was called the "dog
letter" by the ancients because the
manner in which they pronounced it
resembled to degree the snarling
Of dog. 1t is the last letter that
most children learn to pronounce.
They use wv" instead, saying vewy
for very, or Wobert for Robert. The
Chinese invariably use 81" in the
place of "r", which they cannot pro-
nounce. Germans also find it hard
to sound 9Th" as found in the words
tenth, and death, or the and thus.

The Court of Last Resort

Around the stove Of the cross roads
grocery is the real court Of last re-
surt, for it finally overrules all 9th
ers. Chamberlain's cough remedy
has been brought before this court in
almost every cross roads grocery in
this country, and has always received
a favorable verdict. It is in the
country where man expects to receive
full value for his money that this rem
edy is most appreciated. Obtainable
everywhere. (adv.)

SHIPPED EGGS MUST BE FRESH
Five Per Cent Bad Win Constitute
Pure Food Law Violation.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 28.-Eggs
not 95 per cent good will be barred
from interstate commerce hereafter
under ruling today by the depart
ment of Agriculture. Shippers pack
ing more than s per cent bad eggs
will be regarded as violating the pure
food and drug acts by adulteration.
Investigation has shown, the de-
partment's announcement says, that
through the method of Gambling ship
pers may eliminate all but five per
cent of bad eggs.
Decomposed eggs to be used for
tanning or such purposes must be re-
moved from the shell before ship
ment to render them incapable of be-
ing sold for food.

Their fact that every progressive road
law, school law, bank legation law,
corporation regulation law, railroad

measure now grazing the statutes of

cratic action. The Gardner Land
Bank Act, the first rural credits meas
ure bringing relief to the farmers in
the matter of loans to be enacted in
the United States, was passed by a
Democratic Legislature and approved
by Democratic Governor. We chal-
leneg the Republican leaders to name

ty has brought to Missouri.

Elihu Root has erupted again, This
time he says that Wilson's foreign
policy has been weak, and not backed
up by force. And again we beg to
remark that if the nation hasn't suf-

foreign policies, the fault lies solely
with the Republicans, who had almost
continuous charge ever since the civil

CITIZENS OF CALDWELL
PROMPTLY RENDER
FINANCIAL AID

Thirty-two public spirited citizens
of Caldwell and vicinity responded to
the plea for a permanent fund for the
families of members of Company c.,
the total amount subscribed being ap-
proximately $500 monthly. The re-
Spouse of the public to the request has
not been as general as was expected,
due largely perhaps to mis-apprehen-
sion existing regarding the expendi-
ture of the money raised.
The money subscribed by Caldwell
people will be administered by a COM
mittee of five, Messrs. w. P. Lyon; E.
H. Plowhead Fritz Miller and Mes
danes E. L. BRYAN and L. w. Botkin,
and will be used primarily in assisting
dependents of men now with the COM
pany at the border. No part of the
money will be used to provide for the
officers or enlisted men, but will be ex-
pended for their benefit as the sound
business judgment of the disbursing
committee dictates.
The government has made no pro-
vision for the assistance OF members
of families whose bread winners re-
sponded to their country's call and
that duty will necessarily devolve upon
the community. The pay of enlisted
men is $1,000 monthly scarcely enough
to meet incidental expenses of the
, men at the front, and leaving nothing
| for the support of the families.
The subscription blank is published
| elsewhere in this issue. Fill it Out
while you have it in mind and mail tc
First National Bank, Commercial Ma
tonal Bank, Western National Banl
or the Caldwell Commercial club. The
amounts already pledged vary from 2!
cents to one dollar per month. Surely
YOU, whether businessman. clerk o.
farmer can afford to contribute small
amount for the welfare of the lovet
ones of those who are serving thei
country and are making 1t possible TO
you to live in peace and prosperity.

CUPP SAYS RE:
CRU|TS ARE NEEDED

Captain Cupp has been at Nampa
be in Nampa again Saturday and ex-
poets to visit Payette, Emmett and
Weiser next week and will be in
Caldwell again Monday August 7,
Traders Day.
Under orders from the War De-
partment, Captain Max B. CARRIER, U.
S. Army mastering Officer at Boise,
mustered into the United States SER
vice Captain S. w. Sponey, Walter R.
Cupp and First Lieutenant Hal Shat
tuck.
Under orders from Major General
Bell, commanding the western divis-
ion, these officers have taken up their
work.
Active recruiting for the National
Guard in Federal service has been
launched throughout the state. First
Lieutenant Shattuck has the northern
part of the state with headquarters at
Occur d. Alene; Captain Sponey has
the southern part with headquarters at
Pocatella and w. R. Cupp has the cen
trail part with Caldwell or Boise as
headquarters. A recruiting Office will
be open regularly in Boise either on
Main street or in the State House.
Captain Cupp is quoted as follows:
"The recruiting is done now under
Federal authority, by virtue of the
joint resolution adopted July l, 1916
declaring an emergency. The recruits
if accepted go into the United States
service with the National Guard al
once and will serve during the 'emer.
gency' after which they will be re
turned home.
"All recruits from this section will
be rendezvoused at Boise for examin
alton and enlistment
when enlisted they will be sent tc
Fort Douglass, Salt Lake. Utah, where
they will be equipped and instructed
for short time when they will b,
sent on to their companies with TIL,
regiment on the border.
will there be any fighting in Mex
leo? Well, that depends upon the back
ers of Mexico. Mexico is getting read.
to fight us, she needs time to ge
some supplies on credit given her TO
that purpose from outside sources.
"If we show strength then hacker
might withhold support and wa
might be delayed but from the show
ing we have made thus far in the cal
for volunteers, we are but coaxin
the Mexicans on, and reports and let
tiers from there show they are losin
no time getting ready to fight us.
"There certainly will be some fight
ing, as to how much no one can tie
at present. There will probably be n
fighting of consequence until after tn
rainy season has past. That will b
about September 5th. And they ma
delay for months if the leaders ca
control the situation"

STONE APPEALS FROM
ORDER BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS

Alfred F. Stone filed an appeal to
tain orders of the board of county
commissioners of Canyon County, al
lowing fees to attorneys who assisted
County Attorney Griffiths in the &C
tons brought to foreclose tax liens.
Mr.. Stone states that he deems the
orders mentioned to be illegal and
prejudicial to the public interests, and
lavish. improvement expenditure Of
the public funds
Objection is made to an order of
the commissioners on June E, 1916, al
lowing the bill of Plowhead and
Wallace for services in foreclosing tax
liens in the sum of $3.50 made upon
June 8, 1916, ratifying and confirming
the employment of H. A. Grifiths.
county attorney of Curtis Hayden, NJ.
| H. Eustac. ]. J. Plowhead, and H. E.
Wallace as special counsel to assist
in the foreclosure Of tax liens and that
order made upon July H., allowing
the bill of NJ. H. Eustace for services
in foreclosing tax liens in the sum of
SIS. The appeal is taken from the
whole of said orders and each and
every one of them to the district
court of the Seventh judicial district.
Says No Order Made
The complaint on appeal alleges
that no order employing the attorneys
mentioned appears upon the records
of the proceedings of the board of
county commissioners. and that no
such order has ever been made and
that the board did not act as a board
in the employment of counsel, if it
ever in fact did attempt to employ
them.
Further complaining. the appellant
alleges that the county attorney has
no authority to employ counsel to as
S sist him in any manner whatsoever
' and that the attempted ratification
of such employment by the board is
5 invalid and of no force" Concluding
r the complaint respectfully demands
that the orders complained of be re.
! versed.
Employment Excited Comment
When it became known that the
County Attorney had employed at
torneys to assist him in these cases a
$500 per head great deal of com
ment and criticism was provoked.
\ was charged at the time that this wa
a, gentlemanly raid on the taxpayers
j for the benefit of Democratic attor
neys. All told $o25.0O is involved il
fees which these extra attorneys wer'
to have been paid. Of the tota
e amount $425.O0 has already been pait
: out by commissioners. If it is hel,
t that the action of the board, is illega
e recovery suits will probably be file'
I. against county commissioners an,
y their bondsmen.

SOLDIERS COMPLAIN OF
FOOD FURNISHED BY
GOVERNMENT

What of the quality and quantity of
food that is being furnished the mem
bers of the National Guard at No
gales. Arizona? That is the question
that the people of Caldwell are putting
at each other every day. The govern
ment says that the food is ample in
every respect Officers have been pro-
hibited from soliciting donations from
the public for the purpose of buying
more or better food. Members of the
company have written their home
folks both criticizing and commend
ing the food supply.
The Tribune was informed Wednes-
day by man who has a son in Com
pany G., that the son writes that every
thing is fine and that the boys are in
need of nothing.
The Other Side
The Tribune is in receipt of let
ter dated July Goth from member Of
Company G. which says in part:
The rainy season hit here the same
time as we did and so that at least
is one thing to be thankful for. But
take it from me, between rains it is
something herce-the old sky-light
and machine is an ice-box along side
of this.
"We're sure drilling heap-reveille
until retreat-and what rockies! we
have are coming to the 'front.' in fine
shape.
"There is quite little kick about
our grub which is sure government
straight and short at that-We have
no mess fund, at least there appears to
be none Several claim money was do
mated, etc.), but as it is we get nc
vegetables at all and if the meat Is
spoiled we have no fund to send it tc
Ell Paso for fresh supply. That i:
where we have to get vegetables, etc.
also, you see where we stand with nc
fund for that purpose. We are not ask.
ing for any steady donation under
stand-if we could get $500 or $40(
in our mess fund we would havN :
basis to work on and eventually saw,
on the government straight and ge
ahead. AS it is it is the worst prop
