NO. 7.
MAYBE MOSES KNOWS WHEN HE
HAS ENOUGH.

The Caldwell Tribune has informa-
ton which 1t seems disposed to credit
that Governor Moses Alexander will
not be candidate for a second term,
and that a statement will soon be
issued giving the reasons which impel
him to retire to private life. Governor
Alexander has discovered to his dis
appointment that a promise to per-
form is one thing and performance is
another He made his campaign on
a promise to save million a year to
the people of the state and to clean
out the state house from cellar to gar
ret, and he has failed ANONYMOUSLY in
both. True, he has devoted most of
his time to skipping from place to
place both within the state and out
side, thereby neglecting the real dut-
les of his office, and haranguing the
people with self-praise on his achieve
ments, while his daily organ in the
capital has devoted columns to figures
to show that he has made good his
promise to save a million year. But
the governor has not been able to fool
the people on his record and he there
fore knows that he can not again fool
them into supporting him for reelec-
ton. This explains why he will not
be candidate to succeed himself, re-
gardless of what his explanation may
be.
The Tribune learns that John f. Nu-
gent Is being groomed for the demo-
cratic nomination, a selection that
seems to meet the approval Of the
party, but for different reasons. Some
of the faithful think that Nugent
might be elected and will support him
for that reason, while others want to
bury him so deep that he will never
again STOW sign of political life ami
hey believe that his nomination for
governor would give them their OPP |
Between these two con
licting elements in the Idaho democ
acy, Nugent would certainly be
doomed to defeat, but he has shown
wonderful recuperative powers in the
ast and he would probably be able
again come back to plague those
Tho were responsible for his down
all.

will assemble In ST. Louis next June
and solemnly give its endorsement 10
this same Underwood law and reiter-
ate It's adherence to the doctrine OF
free trade and on these declarations
it will ask the people to continue 1t in
power fer another four years. The
democratic party will go before the
country and ask for vote of confid-
ence with a depleted treasury in spite
Of the enormous revenue derived from
the income tax and special war tax
Confronted with this record of incon-
sistency and incompetency, it would
seem that nothing short of a repeti-
ton of the split of 1912 could prevent
the republican party from sweeping
the country In November, without re-
gard to the numerous other failures
and shortcomings of the democratic
administration in handling our rela-
tons with foreign countries.
The European war has more than
ever impressed the Importance of an
adequate protective tariff, for without
this safeguard the close of the war
will bring American producers of raw
material, manufacturers and wage
earners into more ruinous COMPETE
ton with the poorly paid labor of Eur
ope than ever before. The democratic
party could not if it would and would
not if it could meet the emergency by
the enactment of such a law and at
the same time create a home market
for our own products. But the repub-
lican party will if given the opportun-
ity, for protection is the foundation
upon which it is built and is the
principle upon which all elements of |
the party are agreed. Protection Is |
the crying need of the country today. |
Our prosperity now is due solely to |
the demands of war; and when these |
are satisfied and peace prevails in |
Europe, the tide will turn against us
unless the party is in power that |
stands first and last for the protection
of our own people This is the real |
issue of 1916.

lDAHo'S GREATEST INDUSTRY is
MINING.

Although mining is the largest single
productive industry in Idaho and over
80 per cent of the mineral product of
the state comes from the Occur d'Alene
district in Shoshone county, it is sur
prising how little the people of Idaho
at large know of the mining re-
source and its Importance as a con-
tributing factor to the prosperity of
the people, This condition is account
ed for to a great extent by the failure
OF the leading newspapers of the state
to give the attention to mining news
that the industry deserves. Some of
these papers assume a position of an
tagonism toward mining, and appar-
entity labor under the impression that
successful mining simply means large
dividends to stockholders outside the
state with no compromising benefit to
the people of the commonwealth. Act
ing from this point of view they would
foster sentiment that would place
unjust burdens upon the industry un-
der the false assumption that the load
would be borne by residents and
to that extent tighten the load borne
by those whose interests lie within the
state.
This view is wholly wrong and is a
serious reflection upon the enlighten-
ment of those who are responsible for
1t. In the first place there are MANY
stockholders Of dividend paying mines

TIME TO FIGHT.
(Boise Statesman)


State Mine Inspector Bells exposi-
ton of the menace to Idaho develop
ment contained in the Ferris bill
ought to arouse every citizen of this
state to action.
Under the terms of this measure the
resources Of this state will be more
securely placed under federal control
and more continuously withheld from
use.
1t would seem that representatives
of eastern states would hesitate to
perpetrate such an outrage upon the
west, but between thoughtlessness and
selfishness this bill may become a
law.
There is one way Idaho people and
the people of the west can assist in
defeating it and that is by writing to
members of congress from eastern
states formerly their homes.
If the rank injustice of the Ferris
bill shall be brought home to eastern
representatives by former constitu-
ents it may have some effect. Unless
the west can enlist the opposition of a
number of eastern senators and rep
resentatives, the Ferris bill will like
ly become a law and the west will suf-
fer further paralysis through govern
mental theft of it's resources and the
of heavily recruited car
pet bag administration.

THE PRESIDENT AND MEXICO.

President Wilson seems utterly in
capable of grasping the attitude of the
American people toward his Mexican
policy. Since the punitive expedition
entered Mexico there have been grave
apprehensions that the appearance of
the United States troops on Mexican
soil would lead to serious complica-
lions and possibly induce the lawless
bands of Mexieans to raid the border
states, just as Villa attacked Column
bus. For this reason the people of the
states bordering on Mexico sent ur-
gent appeals to Washington for addi-
tional troops to be sent to guard the
line. Newspaper correspondents on
the ground reported the threatening
attitude of the Mexicans and describ-
ed the condition, which was unques-
tionably alarming. President Wilson
seems to have taken exception to
these reports and issued a public APP
peal to newspapers to refrain from
publishing such reports, which he at
tributed to sinister influences at work
for the purpose of forcing armed in
PREVENTION with Mexico
There is no sinister influence trying

Mexico. If the president believes there
is, 1t simply shows how little be

There is feeling, and it is not con-
fined to the border states, nor has it
been created by any sinister influ-
ences that can endure ''watchful

SAYS GERMANS CAN
 NEVER TAKE VERDUN
Bishop of Besieged Town Confident French Defenders Cannot Be
 OuSted From Village.

Paris, April 10-Monsignor Ginis- ty, bishop of Verdun, is the latest arrival in Paris from the shell-swept city, whose cathedral and bishops palace are now in the center of smok- ing ruins. The bishop departed from the city on the foot board of a To- comotive, the only means of con- Veyance which was available for a civilian. He came to Paris to see those of his parishioners who have taken refuge here. Regarding 'condi- tions at Verdun he said:
 '"The Germans are assailing Ver- dun with fury but while their shells may demolish houses they will never get the town.''
 The bishop has established tem- porary headquarters at Bar-Le-Duc, 30 miles south of Verdun, to care for the homeless persons who have been compelled to leave Verdun.
