PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

The sunshine and the rainfall
will not be influenced particle by
the fact that this is presidential
year. The farmer who will attend
to business, apply scientific methods
and system to his farming opera
tions and live stock raising, will
make just as much or more money
this year than he ever made before.
The local business man who keeps
cool, attends to his affairs and
pushes for business, will do just as
well this year as an other. If the
world must be turned topsy-turvy

KENDRICK IDAHO FRIDAY JUNE 22 1915

and business be stagnated durin a
presidential year, let the city folk
and politicians do it.
Country people ought to have
more sense and they at least will
have if they stop to think a mo-
ment. The difference between
what tow men think about politics,
especially if they happen to be
politicians, amounts to very little
too little for any sensible citizen to
pay any attention to. Go right on
with your personal affairs and wait
until election day to save the
country. Whichever way the major
ity goes will probably not be far
from right.
By way of variation the Idaho
state land board managed to get
into the headlines of the daily
papers. To do this it was necess-
airy to decapitate several appointees.
Further decapitations are promised
both of the before and after election
variety.
From the support given to Robert
N. Dunn of Occur d'Alene for the
nomination of Supreme Judge it
would seem that the people are
awakening to the fact of necessary
change in the personnel of that au-
gust tribunal.
Go to church next Sunday. Every
sermon has message for you and
the quite respite from toll and
strife will make easier the activities
of the week before you.
A wonderful example of advertis-
ing has just fitted across the
country. Few people realize it, yet
all have been influenced by it, and
the promoters have accomplished a
great undertaking. The steel mag
mates the munition manufacturers
and the war supply contractors have
converted America to preparedness.
It now looks as though it would be
swift and easy sailing to sell to this
country untold billions of army and
navy equipment.
Miss Bernice Mccoy, state SUPER
intendent of public instruction, is
busily engaged explaining the some
what peculiar coincident by which
she indorsed the candidancy of Miss
Redfield Of Lewiston for the position
of state superintendent in the same
issue of the paper carrying the
announcement of Miss Dryden of
Moscow as candidate for the same
Office. If there is anything the
electors in Idaho dislike it is an at
tempt even remote to dictate to
them who is best qualified for an
Office, especially if the Endorsement
comes from a retiring officer. They
believe candidates should be given
a clear field. The Endorsement of
the present state superintendent
coming at the time it did was a
surprise in view of the fact Idaho
now has primary law. Both Miss
Redfeld and Miss Dryden are candi-
dates for the office from which Miss
Mccoy says she will voluntarily re-
tire at the end of her present term.
1t happens that both are from north
ern Idaho. Other candidates will
probably enter the race for the en-.
tries are still open.-Capital News

QUERIES AND ANSWERS


What is the cheapest entertain
ment? From what source can you
get the most value for the least
cost? The Play? Hardly. One
pays at least fifty cents for a seat
at the opera and if all the family
attend it means two or three to six
times that amount for two hours
entertainment. A base ball game?
No, that is twenty-five cents for a
single admission and if your favor
lite team is defeated it is dear at any
price. The movies are cheap, yes
but that is ten cents for three quar-
tiers of an hours entertainment aud
every member of the family must
pay if they enjoy it.
What is cheaper? Why the local
home paper will furnish a half
hours entertainment to every men,
Der Of the household that is old
enough to read. There is nothing
cheaper or better. What could one
buy in these times of high prices
for three cents that would beat it?
BUSINESS SYMPOSIUM
In an effort to get at the truth of
the business situation, an eastern
firm sent questions to $500 men Of
affairs throughout the country.
There were ITO replies. There
was an almost even division on the
question as to whether business
would be directly affected by peace
in Europe. An overwhelming num-
Der said that consumption Of goods
had not been appreciably lessened
by high prices. In about the same
ratio there was the declaration that
no unemployment existed. As to
labor troubles, however, 598
answered that labor was not con-
tented, while 1877 answered that it
was; 900 expected no strikes.
Only 1853 indicated distrust of the
federal reserve law, while 1874
expressed confidence. Three hum
dred and seven fear that there is an
imitation Of currency or credit. This
condition is denied by 1149. Build
ing activity is revealed by the
nature of the replies from a major
ity Of the communities. The real
estate market, which is generally
believed to be the last feature of
business to respond to prosperity, is
reported to be gaining. There was
a vigorous answer in the affirmative
to the following: "Are the business
men in your section content that
the tariff question shall be taken
out of politics by the creation of a
tariff commission"
Only 1913 persons indicated that
antagonism toward the railroads
persisted, while 1880 reported that
this feeling was abating. Along
this line also 912 expressed the be-
lief that an advance of say 5 per
cent in railway freight rates would
be paid without serious protest by
shippers or consignees. To this
question SCI negative answers were
given. 1t was a majority opinion
that better times did not, in most
cases, turn wage-earners to extra.
vagance. A large number of bust
ness men were in favor of liberia
expenditures for preparedness. anc
it likewise was their conviction
that the war in Europe had in
creased the sense of civic responsible
ity among American people.

The recent soaking rain has put
the 1916 wheat crop in the Potlatch
in fine shape. A rain was needed
and it came at the right time as
it usually does in this part of the
country. The farmers in the Pot
latch have less to worry about in re-
gard to weather conditions than
farmers in other parts of the coun-
try. The soaking rain of the last
few days surely ought to put a
damper on the croakings of the
pessimist.
