GUMBOOTS, MALE AND
FEMALE TAKE DEPARTURE
Pocatello Will be the Scene of Their
Activities for a While.

Saturday evening Mr.. and Mrs. H
+. Bradley, much to the relief of thu
authorities who brought them here
took their leave of Caldwell forever
let us hope. They went from here tc
Pocatello where they will gumshoe in
the interests of the Anti Saloon league
so we are informed.
This delectable pair came to Cald-
well from Payette for the purpose oil
capturing bootleggers. While prob
| ably not in the employ they were in
| active cooperation at all times with
the sheriff and prosecuting attorney of
Canyon county. Their true character
became known within a few hours af-
ter their arrival and in consequence
they were not admitted to the best So
cial circles. In fact they were not very
welcome in any circle except the one
in which the two officers mentioned
above circulate exclusively and alone.
They hung around for several weeks
and departed without paying their
hotel bill. This hotel bill was guar
anteed by Mr.. Griffiths and a Mr..
Wells, who succeeded the immaculate
Herwig as superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League.
Readers of The Tribune were kept
fairly well informed of the activities
Of the pair while they were here. 1t
is not necessary to go over the matter
again. Suffice to say no bootleggers
were apprehended in Caldwell. No
bootleggers ever operated in Caldwell
for any length of time and everybody
connected with the ridiculous farce
knew that no. bootleggers were operat-
ing here.
The Purpose Sought.
The whole purpose in bringing this
pair to Caldwell was the hope that
they might run across some citizen of
the community, who, before Boise
went dry had laid in bottle or two
of liquor for his personal use. The
discovery of pint of whiskev in the
possession of some otherwise good
citizen of the community would have
been great feather in the cap of
Henry Griffiths and George Froman.
The plan was we'll worthy the strategy
of these two officers. 1t would have
been great business to have made
capture. AS these two gentlemen
would have been entitled to the glory

EACH RESIDENCE MUST HAVE
CITY WATER METER
Business Blocks Arc Entirely Differ
ent Matter in Opinion of Supt.

The superintendent of water is no
on the trial of the residences. Ever,
residence must have a water meter
but business blocks are an entirely diff
ferent matter. 1t is probably RICH
and just that every residence be pro
vided with meter but why does no
the same theory hold in regard t.
business blocks? That question is il
the minds of great many people O.
Caldwell.
The Union block has in it drug
store, millinery store, meat mar.
ket, two restaurants, store and q
hotel. There is but one meter. The
Union block is owned by at least five
different men.
The Steunenberg building has a
drug store. a hardware store and a
clothing store and thirty or forty Of
fee rooms. 1t has but one meter.
The Eagleson building has a gro
Gerry store, a clothing store, IS or 20
office rooms and but one meter.
The Idaho building has the post
Office, a tailor shop, a grocery store
and hotel. 1t has but one meter.
The Commercial Club building has
one ground floor occupied by real
estate firms. cigar store. barber
shop, the Commercial club, several
offices occupied. 1t has one meter.
The Saratoga hotel building with
sour or five firms and the hotel, has
but one meter Miss Gilgan has four
ground floor rooms occupied and but
one meter.
Why this discrimination?

LOCAL AND PERSONAL
Forgetful Bill.

Bill Blobbins was forgetful-that's
what everybody said.
He couldn't get the names an dates
to finger in his head
His wife would tell him what to buy
in most explicit style,
But all that Bill brought home was an
apologize smile.
The things that Bill forgot provoked
lot o chaff and chat.
Sometimes he would forget to wear
his necktie or his hat
And friends would often speak of his
misfortune with jest,
But Bill, he didn't mind it, but forget
it with the rest.
We used TO say forgetfulness would
surely ruin Bill,
And yet he kept asmilin' an a-workin'
with will
For Bill forgot his sorrows, his resent
ments and his pains.
And even ceased TO worry bout his
losses and his gains.
The injuries he'd suffered or imagined
that he had.
He wouldn't think of long enough to
put him to the bad.
And as / see old Bill a-takin' hope an
heart anew
/ sort O. wish that I could learn to be
forgetful, too.

SECRETARY LANE TAKES
WALLOP AT WILL r. KING
Expression of Opinion Not Decision
of the Department.

Judge Will R. King, ambassador ex'
traordinary to the Democracy OF the
northwest, and chief dispenser of pat
ronage for this section, has run coun-
ter to Secretary Lane of the Depart
ment of the Interior.
The following is taken from The
Voter and comes to us via the Pen
dleton Tribune:
That Counselor Will R. King, oil
the Reclamation Service, simply ex-
pressed an individual opinion" mo,
a decision of the Department" is as
serted by Secretary Franklin K. Lane
in a note referring to Mr.. Kings let
ter published by the Reclamation
Service, stating that Improvements on
public lands are not subject to local
taxation until patent issues.
Secretary Lane cites numerous SUI
preme Court decisions controverting
Mr.. King. They are so interesting
we quote some briefly:
"The property of agencies of the
United States, of companies holding
franchises from the United States. and
rights and interests in or to public
lands separable and assembled separate
and apart from such lands, are subject
to taxation
"In the case of Forbes VS.. Gracey,
involving the taxation not only of the
mineral output, but of the value of the
possessory right of the Consolidated
Virginia Mining Co., in the Comstock
Lode, the Supreme Court held that
both might be made the subject of
taxation.
water rights held separate and
apart from 1and\are treated as separ-
ate property and taxable by the state
an the case of Trimble VS.. Seattle,
involving property leased by the state.

ALDERMAN DEMENT, IS STILL
TAXPAYER IN FIRST WARD
Rumor Given Currency by Mischief
Makers is Without Foundation.

The rumor has been circulated that
Mr.. ]. A. Dement,, Jr., councilman
from the First Ward, is no longer a
taxpayer in Caldwell. The rumor is
unfounded. Mr.. Dement, still owns
considerable real estate in the first
ward notwithstanding the fact that he
has recently sold some of his real es-
tate. The rumor was started by per-
sons trying to embarrass Mr.. Dement,
and his friends.
Since his election Mr.. Dement, has
given his Office considerable time and
attention. He is a careful. conserva-
tive young man and very useful to
the community in his present capac-
ity.

ROBINS DECLINES TO MEET
 MRS. FUNK IN DEBATE
Brilliant Woman Progressive Support ing Wilson Had Challenged Hughes
 Convert to Match Reasons.

Raymond Robins, who was chair man of the recent Progressive Ma donal Convention in Chicago, has de chned the challenge of Mrs. Antoin- cite Funk to meet her in public debate on the reasons why Progressive voters should be asked to vote for Charles B. Hughes when President Wilson Is in the field. In his refusal MT. Robins indicated that he would de cline all offers to match logic with opponents on the question of Pro gressive activity in this presidential campaign.
 Mrs. Funk is lawyer in Chicago and was one of the prominent leaders of the Progressive movement so long as Colonel Roosevelt remained at the head of it. She and MT. Robins fought side by side for Progressive principles and she was one of the most active campaigners for MT. Rob ins in the Senatorial campaign in nli- nois two years ago.
 Mrs. Funk now is a member of the Associate Committee of Progressives cooperating with the Democratic Na- tional Campaign Committee. She puts her challenge to MT. Robins on the high ground of public service, asking that her former associate submit the case of Wilson vs. Hughes to popu- lar juries.
 In her letter to MT. Robins. Mrs. Funk said:
 "In 1912. endorsing the Progressive party with my whole heart, left be- hind me tradition of middle western and New England Republicanism and when the end came in the Audi torium last June, I followed Theodore Roosevelt to the door of the Republi- can camp with faith that the Republic. can party of 1916 was in somewise different from the Republican party of 1912 that he and you and I con demned and I waited for a sign that would point the new way.

square deal for the farmer led him to make research abroad, and out of his efforts grew the International Insti- tute of Agriculture at Rome. This institution does for the staples of agri- culture of the world what the Ameri- can Chamber of Commerce does for the products of the American manu- facturer.
 Through his connection with the In- ternational Institute of Agriculture Mir. Lubin became interested in the rural credit systems Of Europe and led the movement which resulted in the passage of the Rural Credits by the Wilson Administration.
 Just before departing for Italy, re gently, Mir Lubin authorized an inter- view of 4,OOO words in which he gave his opinion of those acts of the Wilson Administration which directly affect the farmer, his home and his market. This interview has been furnished without cost to every leading farm paper in the United States. If the farmer does not read it in his farm paper it will probably be because the Editor does not care to use his col umns for discussion of economic ques- tions and government policies that yitally affect the interest of the farmer.
 MT. Lubin said: "In, the applica- tiOn of business methods of distribu- ton, America, until the present Ad- ministration, was about. 150 years be- hind Germany and several decades be- hind the rest of Europe. And yet in the very thing in which America is backward she should lead the world. She does not, because clique of spe- cial interests dictated public opinion and controlled legislation through the bosses of the Republican party. So cleverly have they worked that the average man is hypnodzed, his criti- cal faculties dulled.
 "President Wilson is neither fooled nor led by this crowd. He is tire less. patient, far-seeing. He has a historic sense of the past, a sympa- thetic sense of the present and a prophetically spiritual sense of the fu- ture. While his head is above the clouds, his feet are always upon the earth. He is idealistic on the one side, on the other practical. He is a good business man.
 'He knows that good politics and good economics are the same thing. He is fearless; in all my relations with him; direct or indirect, fail to find anything or anybody he is afraid of"

WHAT THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY
 DID TO AVERT STRIKE DISASTER

Before I consulted with them (the railway tives and the representatives of the enployes) made myself acquainted with the points at controversy.
 The first thing told both sides was that stood for the eight-hour day. We believe in the eight-hour day because does better work within eight hours than he does in extended day. said to the rail- road executives: "You asking that the result of the eighthour day be predicted and the prediction be arbtrated The reasonable thing do is to grant the eight-hour day not because the demand it, but because it is right and let get authority from Con- gress to appoint commission to observe the results and report in order that justice may be done the rail- roads in respect of the cost of the experiment.
 That was the proposal which they rejected and which Congress put into law proposal which made to them before conferred with it, which urged upon them every conference and which when the one side rejected and the other accepeI went to Congress and asked Congress enact did not ask either side whether it suited them and requested my friends in Congress to ask either side whether it suited them
 learned before the controversy began that the whole temper of the legislative body was in favor of the eight-hour day.
 In the House of Representatives the plan was passed, was sanctioned by vote which included sev- enty Republicans against fy-four Republicans. In the Senate the Republican members held conference in which they determined put obstacle in the of the passage of the bill Now this because the proposal reasonable and was based upon right From President speech New Jersey at Shadow Lawn, N.
