E. C. Denison, dealer for the F. co car in this district, though naturally an enthusiastic supporter of that car, has little to say on the merits of his motor. He prefers to leave it to his customers, of whom there are many hereabouts
 He has handled the car for over four years and according to his find- ings the car 'is nearer the perfect car than any other Cbtainable for any, where near the price you pay for the Reo." For cheap upkeep the car is in a class by itself. Mr. Denison states that he does not make enough on re- pairs on the Rec cars to pay one mans wages, although he has sold to many owners. He states that it is seldom that one will be found in his repair shop and asks anyone interested to call him up in order that he may give the curious one the names of Reo owners in the city who will readily

go down and take the northern row of states in Mexico and
stop for good the atrocities that have been perpetrated
there day after day and week after week for the past four
years. Evidently Villa is trying to bring on just sucn an
interposition. He hates Caranza with a nameless person
al hatred; in addition he sees no hope for his country IN
der Caranzas presidency; he knows there is no hope for
himself while Caranza is in power and morally backed by
the United States, and he does not care what means are
taken to GUST Caranza from his present rule. He is smart
enough to know that the men of the southwest are heartily
sick of the "watchful waiting" program which President
Wilson inaugurated long ago, and is trying his best evil
IDENTIFY to invent atrocities which will finally so enrage the
people across the border in the United States that they
will spring to arms with an irrepressible determination to
wreak vengeance on those scoundrels in Mexico who are
only not cit to govern themselves, but are not fit to live.
There is a double reason why President Wilson should
serve notice on Caranza to establish order in those NORTH
ern states at once, and if he cannot, then the United States
will. One reason is that the United States has already
postponed interference too long, the other is that If the
war in Europe were to suddenly cease, there would be i'm
minent danger of a new alliance across the sea involving
those who are now friends and enemies there for the pur-
pose of taking and partioning Mexico, despite the United
States; for the subjects of half a dozen of those nations
have been ~despoiled in Mexico, and the United States,
which has assumed the responsibility of protecting them
has utterly failed in keeping the implied covenant.-Good

SENATOR DAVIS HEARD FROM.

Senator d. w. Davis, of American Falls, has been heard
from and he did not leave his namesake a monopoly of the
publicity business for any great length of time. The Sen
ator got before the public at the meeting of the Swine
Growers association last week. The title of this associa-
ton is not very high sounding, but the Senator used his
opportunity to splendid advantage, and his speech and
his picture are now appearing in the newspapers. 1t was
a good speech with lots Of meat in it as he was talking to
meat producers.
The Senator offered two propositions that will attract
much attention. One was to put the livestock sanitary
board on a non-partisan basis, and under civil service. In
fact, he would put all boards having to do with productive
interests under civil service. He declared that the pro-
ductive interests were too vital to be subjct to the change
of every incoming administration. The other proposition
was his advocacy Of the early conversion or property
valued at from $50 100000 to $100,000,000 now tied up in
unproductive, unimproved lands, into interest bearing Sc
curties secured by improved lands. He would use the in
tereest thus earned to help defray the expenses of the state
and in time make Idaho a taxless state so far as state taxes
are concerned-CaldweIl Tribune.
The Tribune can safely strike out the word state IN
the last line of the above and be on safe grounds. Inc
plan of Mr.. Davis will take care of all school taxes, state,
county and special and maintain the state institutions
without direct taxation whatever, and more. 10 get a
full understanding of the truth of this, it is only necessary
to wear out a few lead pencils in making figures. When
this is done all doubt will disappear, and every taxpayer
will enthusiastically support the plan. Everyone VINO mas
so figured is lending hearty support to the movement pro-
posed by Mr.. Davis and there is not the slightest doubt
Of it's adoption in the near future.
In Power County the school taxes are about fifty per
cent Of all taxes paid for all purposes. When people come
to un arstand that these schoolfaxes can be wiped out en-
thelEn about ten years And that the procees of wiping
them out will supply money at greatly reduced rates OF In
terest for development purposes, by the adoption OF simple
business methods, then nothing can stand in the way OF
this change.

behind his stomach; that if the stomach of a man is per-
petualy making dissatisfied speeches, they have direct
action on the nervous center, and the man himself in a lit
tie while is prone to give up his smiles and to take on that
look of dissatisfaction that originates in the stomach. We
are aware that this is a dangerous subject to pursue, but
we are bound to tell the beautiful girls that to insure that
which they dream of a large amount of prepar-
.edness is needed on their part. Considering the animals
which they are expecting will share their homes and if
they do not have that preparedness in their homes after
a while they lose their own smiles, and the man who was

bring his troubles up home and to begin to unload them
on the household just so soon as his dissatisfied stomach
begins to taunt his nervous center with the fact that he
had not sense enough before his marriage to send his fl
ancee to a cooking and housekeeping school for six months
and the beautiful girl that was, will be looking across the
table and wondering why she did not have the sense to
choose some one of the really good men who paid court to
her, rather than the old crouch at the other end of the
table. 1t is necessary for a nation to be prepared to meet
any foes from without. 1t is necessary for men and wo-
men, before they link their lives together, to be prepared
to meet the enemies that spring up in the homes of those
who before marriage did not so prepare themselvs as to
ward off the attacks of those Incompatible foes, such as
Ignorance, incompetency, want of patience, that lie in wait
to destroy the peace and happiness of married life-Good-

O A ADMINISTRATION.

"The day has has arrived for road administration under
men holding office soley upon their merit" is the broad
and very sound principle laid down by Logan Walter Page,
Director of the United States Office of Public Roads and
Rural Engineering in an address to the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science in Philadelphia.
Not men chosen because of their value as political workers
but men noted for their constructive gifts and engineering
ability. What difference does it make to the farmer haul
ing his crops to market, or to the merchant transporting
his merchandise home, or to the traveller journeying from
place to place whether the road was built and is maintained
by a Democrat or a Republican or a Progressive? The
road is the thing. Yet, speaking generally and of the coun-
try at large, road construction and road maintenance have
been largely committed to more or less desirable political
workers with the result that not less than $50, 100000 is
wasted annually by the carelessness and incompetency of
the men charged with the supervision and administration
of the public highways of the country. 1t is not so much
the fault of the road officials hemselves,-they want the
money wasted upon them in the way of salary, and need
it-but of the political system which makes their selection
possible; and before there can be any substantial improve
ment in the character and efficiency of the men the sys-
TEN must be destroyed.
There are in the United States three thousand counties
and approximately one hundred Thousand local road offic-
ials, supervisors who do not know how to supervise, over
seers who lack both the technical knowledge and admins
trative ability to oversee, insufficientlyp paid for competent

BUSINESS PROGRAM.

The Republicans of Idaho may we'll feel proud of SEN
at0r Borah. He is recognized as the foremost orator IN
the party and his ability is in demand upon all great occa-
sions. It was Borah who was selected to give the key,
note address at the banquet of the Republican National
League and the League of Republican State Clubs, at
Washington, last December. The speech attracted nation
wide attention and brought Senator Borah more than ev-
err into consideration for the Republican nomination Tor
the presidency. There is scarcely a paragraph. IN the
speech as printed that is not a gem. 1t ought 10 De reau
and considered by every patriotic American Inc Sen
ator summed up the national situation in the following
lofty language:
II agree with those also who urge a saner program for
legitimate business, a real and effective system of farm
credits, and the building up of a merchant marine. l agree
with those who urge that humanitarian legislation winch
looks to the welfare of the millions from whose toll comes
the wealth of the nations. But back OF all these things
and over and above all these issues, overshadowlng and
dominating all else, are the dignity and inviolability OF
American citizenship, the integrity, effectiveness and the
worth of these institutions, the standing prestige, power
ard mission of this United States.
"When the Republican party was organized the supreme
question was whether we should have peace at the price OF
disunion, as so many well-meaning people urged, even IN
the north, or whether we should have peace only and alone
when the Union should stand forth united and disenthral-
led. peace at any price or peace with honor and the ten
derest heart that beat beneath the flag said peace but
peace with honor. / venture to declare that IN just as true
a sense democracy as a theroy OF government is today on
trial. 49,
al do not stop to argue, but l believe as the American
people believe, that while the questions which affect our
material welfare are important they are all incidental and
subordinate to the higher questions of national honor
that we cannot afford to play the merchant with the mis-
cries of the human race or barter the lives of our people
for industrial advantage"

PREPAREDNESS.

That word preparedness is about the biggest in our
language. It means to be ready to meet opposition.
AS recently used it has been only applied to meeting an
attack from foreign powers, but that does not begin to
cover all its meaning. We put a lock on the door in de-
Tense of possible burglars. That is one form of prepared
ness. We put on mittens and mufflers when we go out into
zero weather, that is another form. We drain stagnant
ponds to discourage the fever that may be waiting to
mount on the wings Of malaria and charge upon the health
of the household. We say the nation should be prepared
to meet any attack, but the states should likewise be pre-
pared. An idle and hungry man is a danger to a state
and the state should be prepared to give such an one en-
ployment and wages for his work. The pest that attacks
fruit trees is a danger to be promptly met. Some of our
horticulturists have learned to be prepared against the
spring frosts that may steal in and attack the orchards
when in bloom.
The prudent man insures his house to be prepared
against fire. The prudent state sees to it that all the chill
|dren are enrolled in the schools as means of preparedness
against that very worst enemy of man, ignorance.
AS it is often easier to prevent sickness than to cure it,
so a prudent city sees to it that the vices are not Haunted
in the faces of children or vulgar plays or pictures pre-
scented. A humane city keeps tab on its poor to see that
suffering is prevented and that there is not through want
an incentive given to the very poor to commit crime.
Men. women and children are like birds. Some are de-
pendent, others are like birds of prey, and when society is
enlightened it sees to it that the strong do not crush the
weak. Thus we see that the chief end o fthe enlightenment
of the earth is to try to keep the world prepared against
enemies. These enemies are cold and hunger and disease
and sorrow and want as well as the strong hands that some
to despoil their fellow men.
Foreign powers do not often attempt an invasion and
conquest but these other enemies are always on watch and
ready to attack any weak place.
When a cold wave is on the march and headed this way

Preparedness is a splendid thing for a nation, it is more
splendid when all the people of the nation are prepared
against idleness, ignorance, want and sorrow-GOodwins

TALK WITH OUR GIRLS.

There is a multitude of beautiful girls in Salt Lake City.
They all carry that expectant look which set to words
would read: 1--WE expect in the next one, two or three
wears to be some mans wife, to have a home of our own,
and there is no doubt we will make it the happiest home in
the world. Just now there is a great deal of debate as to
the preparedness which should be made to insure the
safety of our country against hostile attack. Do these
girls ever give a thought as to whether any preparedness
Is necessary on their part to insure the happiness OF the
homes they expect to preside over? How many OF them
can make a biscuit? How many of them can tell the pre-
siding genius in the kitchen how to tan a ~beefsteak, make
the dressing for a turkey, convert what is left of a roast
of beef into wpalatable hash, or put up canned fruit In the

IDAHO BOYS BEAT FATHERS III CORN RAISING.

The value of agricultural extension work and the

"When the prizes were announced in connection with
the seedgrowers' convention the members OF the agfl-
cultural extension department who have been teaching
the boys and girls the science of farming were gratltled
to find that in two cases boys had won prizes over their
fathers. This was a proof to them that scientific farm
ing brings better results than the traditional haphaz-
ard methods generally followed.

The rural schools have the advantage of the county
agent who is hired under the provisions OF the Smith
Lever bill which gives $1,000 from the federal govern
ment to this office, so that in the small schools Where a
special instructor in agriculture can not be afforded this
study may be carried on. The students were given SIX
