A MAN WITH GOOD JUDGMENT

With w. T. Dougherty secretary of state there will
be necessity for perpetual explanations for the
pie that all his acts will be adequately considered
before made and they will be founded upon proper con
sideration for the welfare Of the state and it's people,
Perpetual Expainer Barker has been driven to his
perpetual explanations because his acts have been done
rather for personal benefit through political prejudice
than because of real desire to the public fairly and
justly.
There is the difference between Dougherty and Barker
that there is between the leveheaded whose udg
ment is good and who acts in accordance with that good
judgment, and the who lacks in Judgment and who
acts not because he has his eyes fastened upon the public
good alone.
Dougherty is whose judgment is good Barker's
perpetual explanations sufficient indication that
he himself recognizes his poor judgment which he
required to excuse defend and explain through columns
of newspaper space upon every occasion when import
ant matter forces him to take position
The records of the boards of which he is member
contain official evidence of his shifty and uncertain dis
position shown by his official explanations entered
upon the minutes

Letters From the People
THE BEST PLAN YET.
The Hon. G. E. e. Whiz,
Care of Capital News. City.

Care of Capital News, City.
My Dear Sir:--I have Just had the
pleasure of reading your plan for max
ing Idaho q "taxless state" within four
years, and the idea is one that will no
doubt appeal to all readers of the
Capital News with as much and pos
sibly a great deal more force than
the Davis" plan of making us tax
less within a period of 40 years. How
ever, 1t seems to me that even though
you did originate the plan you should
be perfectly satisfied with your pro-
portion of the income and not start
robbing the public at the beginning
Of the second year. 1t is very true that
the investment would be only $50 at
the beginning. yet l fail to see where
you have any right to steal half of
this investment and especially at such
an early date in the history of the en-
terprise. Perhaps not many people
would miss one hen, there being so
many, yet when you stop to think that
the hen you are trying to get away
with would lay us just as many eggs
the second year as she did the first
year, you can readily see that you are
robbing the people of this beloved
state of ours, a snug little sum of
money, which, in following a principle
of honesty, should be divided among
the 100000 inhabitants of sunny Ida
no. Now II you will just leave that
original s25 hen where she belongs
you will find that we will have 151
good layers to start the second year,
instead of merely the 100 that were
produced the first year. OF course one
hen is not much to worry about, but
please consider the cost to our people
in the loss of her 800 eggs the second
year, which when Matched would mean
$50 more pullets for us to start the
third year. also $3.50 more to our Sc
cond years income as result of our
cockere sales. Starting the third year
with 1850 pullets instead of 22,500 as
you suggest, you can realize what this
might amount to in the course of n few
years. OF course by stealing the hen
from the state of Idaho. you have not
done anything that would be worth inn
prisoning you for, and with a IS cock
erel that you could buy from the state
about the same time you stole the fe-
male half of her original investment,
YOU could open up a Henery In oppo
sition to the one owned by the state,
and have a very modest income. / do
not lntenu 10 worry dooul thlS matter,
however. as will be kept pretty busy
within a short time counting my in
come from the state.
Assuring you that your plan to make
Idaho taxless Is the best one / have
heard of during the campaign and
trusting our legislature will not pass
an income tax law. ] beg to remain.
Yours very truly,
JAY TREBOR.

TIE CHAMPION SAVER.

To be singled out of a thousand peo-
pie presenting plan of life that best
evidences the habit of thrift as applied
to good living, and awarded the first
prize of $50, is Il worthy honor. to be
coveted by any man. This happy ex-
perience has recently befallen the Rev.
w. {. Poole of Dream City, Md, to
whom the award was made by com
mittee of prominent bankers and bus
mess men, in thrift contest conduct
ed by the New York Evening World.
Mr.. Pooles salary for the past 16
years has averaged but $733.1S aside
from house rent and donations This
is about SIS a week. He has saved
$1,000, visited two expositions, trav-
eled throughout New England by troll
ley. bought books and magazines, and
given to church and charity.
Mr.. Poole never buys on credit. He
says he has saved $50 year by buying
for cash and $3.50 on things he didn't
buy, because he couldn't pay cash. He
has kept strict account of all expendi-
lures and each year he has tried to do
better with the same money.
He started thriftward by saving a
dollar week and has steadily kept it
up. He appropriates ten per cent for
church and charity and ten per cent

WHAT SORT OF A FELLOW ARE YoU9

Why censure, condemn, cen criticise
The faults you may in another?
Just take out the beam found in your eye,
Then the mote will leave that of your brother
You talk of his weaknesses, follies and sins;
He has them-that is doubtless too true
But here is question ID like to PROFOUND,
What sort of fellow are YOU?
Do you hug to yourself the delusion absurd
That in you perfection is found?
Do you think yourself fautless? You know you
not;
Then why pull the other down?
1t will keep you quite busy safeguarding your
thoughts,
Without troubling what others may do.
You'll agree that it will knowing others will ASK
What sort of fellow are YOU?
Oh, the sins and the folles find in ourselves;
Then why should we our brothers?
Though they have their weaknesses many of them,
In ourselves shall find there are others.
Look not for the man who possesses faults,
For we all have them, many few
When condemnng another don't forget twill be
asked, .

PRESS COMMENT
MIR. HUGHES IN NEBRASKA.
(Indianapolis News.

Indianapolis News)
One point made clear by Mr.. Hughes
in his last few speeches may be re-
ferred to the Wilson administration for
candid consideration Many times the
president has delivered impressive adj
dresses on social justice and the posi-
ton we theoretically occupy in world
affairs-not commercially or politically,
but officially. Mr.. Wilson has also
had a good deal to say about our heri-
tage of principles. The documents of
colonial America are full of them
There is an immortal injunction in the
Declaration of Independence and a
constant reminder in the constitution
The spirit of these things is to have
the American people keep ever in mind
that the principles on which this nation
was established are not national. They
are universal. All admit this, but the
trouble comes in the application. Pres
ident Wilson has frequently EXPIRE sed
his belief that in the future America
has an important part to play But
how is this to be accompanied, by
theory or by practice?
1t Is Mr.. Hughes idea that we can
never impress any foreign people with
a sense of our enlightenment until we
first give them cause to respect our
principles and our people. I'VE wish
we'll to all people," said the Republi-
can nominee; I'VE desire to have pros
perty throughout the world. but we
have a particular care here. Unless we
take care of our own we shall never
serve humanity. Unless we develop the
great opportunities of the United
States we will serve no one whatever
am for America first. and America
efficient In other words, how are
we to expect foreign nations to regard
us as a good example when our for
eign policy. as actually followed. does
not inspire respect or assure our own
people protection? How can we ask
another country to safeguard neutral
life and property when American life
and property-as is the case in Mex
ico-are in practice placed outside the
law?
Then, again, how are we to encourage
American business to build a perma-
nent foreign trade If we denounce it
as gambling and unworthy of support,
as some of the Administrations sup
porters have done? 1--WE must remem-
ber,' said Mr.. Hughes. that it is per-
fectly idle to ask American merchants,
American engineers, American traders.
the boys who go forth in the various
opportunities that are afforded in con-
nection with branch houses abroad; 1t
is perfectly idle to ask them to go
forward in the interest of American
enterprise If the American flag does
not mean full protection to every citi-
zen lawfully engaged, wherever he is.
We can not have an extension of our
foreign trade unless we have a recog-
milton of the dignity of our own citi-
zenship and are prepared to maintain
our own rights"

ENEMIES OF EDUCATION.
(wallace Press-Tlmes)

(Wallace Press Times)
In a recent Issue of the Lewiston
Tribune Secretary of State George r.
Barker is quoted to the effect that II
Governor Alexander Is re- elected,
President Brannon will resign as the
head of the state university.
This effort upon the part of Mr..
Barker to make a political football Of a
state institution Is to be generally de-
plored, Idaho Is young state and her
educational institutions are to a large
extent in the formative state, We are
seeking to build here in the light of
the experience of the older states that
our youth may be afforded the fullest
possible educational advantages. But
if the politicians are to inject the virus
of politics and factional feeling into our
school system, then indeed. will our
efforts be vain.
It Is due to DIR. Brannon to note In
passing that Mr.. Barker has not here
tofore been clothed with authority to
speak for him. which fact in itself
raises the question OF the accuracy of
Mr.. Bankers statements. Our impress
sions of DIR. Brannon impel the belief
that he is too big, too broad for such
ker. DR. Brannon knows of course that
the entrance of politics in the conduct
and management OF our educational
institutions will certainly work their
destruction The wisdom of experience
has taught this and even Mr. Barker
himself must understand that in his
attempt just made. he is threatening
the future opportunities of the youth
Of Idaho.
That he would do this for temporary
personal or political gain would seem
almost unbelievable.
Idahos educational standing con-
Germs the whole people and not a po-
litical party. The coming generations
and the children of our children must
depend upon the foundation we are
now building for their educational
equipment. DR.. Brannon of all men
understands this thoroughly, and we
are firmly of the opinion that he would
be the last man in the state to seek to
inject politics into the management OF
the institution of which he is the head.
This being true, Mr.. Barker stands in
the position of not only debauching
our university through the attempt to
introduce politics into its management.
but also OF disappearing DIR. Bran
non, the head of that institution.
While il is fair to assume that Mr..
Barker does not seek the destruction
OF our university. the means he EN-
ploys for personal and political adj
vantage would produce that very re-
suit. Thus it matters not whether Mr..
Barker spoke truly or falsely; his ut
terances are indeed lamentable

Iction to reasonable amount?

forced the reduction to reasonable amount?
Governor Alexander has not of course personally
done every single administrative act any than he
has personally taken his position at typewriting ma
chine written all his letters but his has been the
guiding and controlling factor in the matter and there
is justification for trying to take the credit away
from him than there would be giving his stenographer
credit for particularly wewritten letter dictated by
the governor.
The opponents of the governor certainly driven to
absurd position in order to make campaign against
him.

people of the state Through the custom thoroughly
tabished the national house of representatives Of Civ
ing to congressman important positions upon committees,
where the best service for the state and nation is always
done who have served the longest continuous time the
election of Congressman Smith for another term will
insure to Idaho greater committee power than has
been held by Idaho representative. 1t will place him
well at the head of Republican representatives for
nuous service and his seniority therefore, will place him
well toward the head of many important committees
where he do great service to IDAHO
1t is this continuous service principle which has given
the south such great influence in the present Democratic
congress- 1t is the sort of service which has made
Wyoming famous for congressional influence. 1t is the
principle which will give Idaho it's opportunity through
the continuous service record of Mr. Smith, backed bv his
personal ability and POPULARITY at Washington.

world is bad; and it will remain bad until the nasty
