REPUBLICANS HAVE ADMIRABLE

Naturally the republicans of Idaho
look forward with confidence to elect
ing the entire state ticket 1t is COM
posed Of men of the highest type of
citizenship and of unquestionable
ability for the positions to which they
aspire. The candidate for governor.
d. w. Davis, is in striking contrast to
his opponent, the present governor of
Idaho. He is a dignified, unpreten-
tious man who has earned his way in
the world through persistent industry
and conscientious effort, and he stands
today as one of the states successful
men of large affairs. As a private
citizen and as senator from Power

state affairs, and particularly to the
Just distribution of taxation with the
view to reducing taxes to the
minimum. AS a business man he has

Geography and Supreme Court
All State Officers In South Idaho

For IL years the three justices OF
the supreme court resided in south
Idaho and the terms of the court were
held exclusively in that section, and
vet no one ever heard complaint that
north Idaho was not represented or
that the people of this section did not
receive fair treatment at the hands OF
that tribunal. On the geographical
argument upon which John c.. Rice
relies for election, the last issue OF
the Wardner- Kellogg News says:
Thoughtful voters will not be dis
posed to give serious consideration to
the geographical argument advanced
by John C. Rice in support of his can
didacy for the supreme bench Quail
fications should be the sole considera-
ton in selecting men for this exalt-
ed position, his place of residence be-
ing a matter that plays no part what
ever in the performance of his duties
Is he honest? Has his private and
public life been clean and free from
the shadow of suspicion? Is he quail
flied by education, training and ex-
perience to occupy a place in the
highest tribunal of the state? These
are the questions that should guide
the voter in making his choice for
justice of the supreme court. To APP
peal for support on geographical
grounds is unworthy of one who as
pires to this high position.
Judge Robert N. Dunn resides in
north Idaho. but he does not urge

"rhe stock argument of Mr.. Rice
that he should be elected because he
lives in the south, .or more specifically
the southwest, Is amusing as coming
from that section of the state. With
all due respect for Mr.. Rice, it must
be said that in advancing this argu-
ment he either unconsciously over
looked the present division of state Of
ficers as between the north and south,
or he purposely presumed upon the
ignorance of the voters with reference
to the same. At the present time both
United States senators, both repre-
sentatives in congress, the governor
and every other state officer with the
exception of lieutenant governor and
secretary of state live in south Idaho.

1t having been charged by the Capt.

can candidate for governor, had ex-
pressed his approval of the action of
Warden Shook, Mr.. Davis promptly
made this dignifed statement:

he has pointed out clearly that the
adoption of principles which are rec
ognized and are essential to business
success will accomplish the same re-
suits when applied to the state This
is substantially the platform upon
which Mr.. Davis seeks election, and
his plain, matter of fact way of pre-
senting his plans for state adminis-
tration have left a profound impress
sion on the people. There seems no
doubt that he will be elected.
And the election of Mr.. Davis means
the election of the entire republican
state ticket Indeed this seems to be
virtually conceded by the democratic
campaign management, which is d.
recting it's efforts to the defeat of on
ly one candidate on the republican
state ticket and that candidate is
George r. Barker, secretary of state.
About the only grievance they have
against Mr.. Barker is that he has ex-
posed the absurdity of the claims of
Governor Alexander that he has say
ed large sums in the interest of the
taxpayers, and that on the important
state boards of which he is a member
he has blocked the governors schemes
to make political capital out of mat
tiers in which he was entitled to no
credit. Mr.. Barker has made a faith
full and efficient officer and the people
will not be fooled by the false charges
the democrats are making against
him.

These are types of the men that
compose the republican state ticket

the governor showed his contempt for
the effort to give the workmen of Ida
no just compensation law by even
refusing to pay the small expenses of
the commission, the members of which
served without salaries.
His real reason for vetoing the COM
pensation law was because it provided
that the board should be composed of
state officers, including the commits
sioner of immigration and labor, who
should serve on that commission
without salaries. This denied him the
privilege Of making appointments to

The period of fireworks is over, and

and deliberate consideration of the
questions involved in the campaign,

attitude which directly concerns every

HEROES OF VALLEY FORGE COM
PARED TO MEXICAN BANDITS.

If there was nothing else in the
Wilson administrator to be condemn
ed, the fact that the president keeps
ems the bandits of Mexico to the Rev
dictionary heroes of Valley Forge, and
by doing so apparently approves of
the sentiment expressed by his secre-
tary of war, is sufficient to condemn
him in the estimation of every patri-
cite citizen and should make certain
his defeat at the hands of an aroused
and outraged people. This libelous
SANDER upon the men who made us
nation should not pass unpublished,
and If the American people vote to
retain in power the administration
that voices 1t and approves it, it will
be evidence that American manhood
has degenerated and the spirit of pa
triotlsm is no longer stirred by the
recollection of heroic service and self
sacrifice which has ever been the
pride and glory of every American.
The Oregonian has this to say on the
subject:
"There are many American soldiers
who still sleep at Valley Forge, after
the bitter and terrible winter of 1777-
rs; and grateful nation has raised
there magnificent monument to

It is possible to produce hogs in South Carolina at cost varying from three to five cents per pound, when they are grown and fattened on good pasture and limited amount of dollar corn There are two very i'm portant essentials to consider in the production of hogs for profit. First, pasture and forage crops; second breeding stock.
 Pasture and Forage Crops.
 The permanent pasture is essential and should be of good size. Bermuda and bur clover as a permanent pasture cannot be surpassed. A mixture of one-half bushel Italian rye grass, one half bushels of tall meadow oat grass, one-half bushel orchard grass and b pounds Mammoth clover will also pro dAce excellent grazing. Either of these mixtures will furnish grazing practically 12 months in the year and will give absolute satisfaction in many sections of the state. The follow ing rotation of forage crops will go hand in hand with the above perma= nent pastures in the production of cheap pork:
 Lot 1. Plow and plant in corn May l and broadcast one bushel eowpeas after last cultivation. Hog this down in the fall and blow remnants of crop under and put into winter pasture of oats. rye and hairy vetch, sowing this mixture about September 1.
 Lot ?. Plant one-half bushel each of early varieties of cowpeas and soy beans in rows two feet apart and culti- vate. This lot may be divided with temporary fence so as to pasture sep arately Turn the hogs in and after eating off follow In the fall with crop of rape, drilled in rows two feet apart at rate of four pounds per acre and broadcast about fifteen pounds of crimson clover. These crops should be put in in September and will afford pasturage during the winter months.
 Lot 8 Plant three pecks of peanuts per acre in July, drilling them in 12 inches apart in rows 21a feet apart and cultivate. After being hogged down follow with a winter pasture of oats, rye and yeteh.

TEMPERATURE OF THE CREAM
Thermometer Will Tell How Long Liquid May Be Kept, Provided
 Clean Methods Used.

First-grade cream should not con tain over 4-10 of one per cent (.40O) tactic acid
 The higher the temperature at which cream is kept, the quicker 1t will sour and the more frequently 1t should be delivered to the creamery or churned into butter on the farm.
 The thermometer will tell how long the cream may be kept, provided clean methods of production are used.
 According to results obtained, cream kept at S9 degrees F. should be deliv- cred daily; cream kept at TO degrees F.. should be delivered every other cay; cream kept at so degrees F. may be delivered every third day, and cream kept at 50 degrees F. would be sweet if delivered twice a week, and first grade. If delivered every fifth day, or possibly once week.-From Bulletin No 10s, Oklahoma Agricul- tural Experiment Station, Saltwater.

Stubble Needs Fertilizer High Tn Ni- trogen to Give It Good Start
 Ell Furrow Gradually.

Stubble cane needs fertilizer high in nitrogen to give 1t good start Cotton seed meal is recommended at the rate of 600 pounds to the acre. Stubble which has been banked against frost should be barred off and the crowns of last year uncovered and hoed so that they can sprout. Split the middles. Fertilizer should be ap' piled before the barred furrows are filed, and 1t will be ready to use when the roots begin to grow.
 Where canes are to be planted cut them In four or five joint lengths. Rows should be six to eight feet apart, according to C. K McQuarrie, state agent for the University of Florida extension division. Plant the canes in furrows about six to eight inches deep and lap them little to insure better stand Canes should be GOV cred slightly, barely enough to give moisture for germlnation.

FIRES AND TOWN PLANNING
Many Instances May Be Cited Where Little Foresight Would Have
 Saved Much Money.

Paris, Tex, which recently jumped greater part of the town, is busy with plans for rebuilding according to systematic town plan. A town planner has been imported, and when Paris rises from it's ashes it will be better built and more convenient town to get around in than it ever was before. if what is accomplished comes up to the expectation of the people.
 The people of Paris show remark able spirit when they are able to sur vey their ruined town and still have mind and foresight left to think of town planning along modern lines; but the chances of success would have been better if the plan had been evolved before the fire, when Paris had more time for deliberation and gradual upbuilding of public sentiment. When the village of Detroit was re- planned, more than a century ago, after a fire that burned every building in the place, mistakes were made that plague the city to this day San Fran CISCO lSHOFs1 US great opportunity decade ago. If Chicago had had a town plan back in the seventies Chi eago's present planning problems might not be half so formidable, and in this country of big fires any city may have it's melancholy chance to make new street lines or lay out new parks over it's ashes.
 The remoteness of the chance that confagration will visit any city may seem to make this consideration but a weak argument for town planning but it is not necessary to burn a whole town down to give the well-matured town plan chance. In Cleveland not many years ago the burning of a sin gle building gave the city an oppor- tunity to make an extremely valuable street extension in the downtown dis triet. If that particular extension had not been in the public mind for long while the chance might have been overlooked and a heavy bill for wrecked building would have been the result when the street was finally opened.-Chicago Herald.
