ONLY 5 DAYS MORE
The Amount of Work Put Into
The Herald Voting Contest for
the Next Eight Days Will De-
termine the Winner.

The Herald voting contest is rap
idly growing to close and every
moment tells in landing the winner.
You sure want to see your favorite
win and now is the time to put in
your best work and do your utmost
to turn the final count in her favor.
A $3.50 piano is something worth
working for and the opportunity to
win one this way is not often offered.
The Herald is offering over $700
in prizes and such generous rewards
call for earnest and unceasing work.
Those who have watched this con-
test have seen many sudden changes
in leaders and how unexpected con-
testants have forged ahead. Now
on its close the unexpected is likely
to happen and no one can rest secure
or feel confident of winning until
the last vote is put in and counted.
This fact should spur every contest
ant and their friends to leave no eff.
fort to secure back subscriptions, re-
newals, paid in advance or new sub
scription unsolicited, for many votes
will be needed as a reserve to cover
the unknown work of opposing con-
testants.
The contest will close Saturday,
September 22d at 2:30 pm, and the
judges selected by the three leading
contestants will then determine who
is the winner.
After Thursday noon, Sept. 21st,
no votes will be received by the pub
Usher of the Herald. Each contest
ant after that date will hand their
subscriptions and votes to the judges
on or before Sept. 22d at 2:30 pm,
and they will be counted with the
record of work done by each contest.
ant up to the previousThursday noon
This places the final decision in the
hands Of disinterested parties, select
ed by the contestants and outside
any one personally interested in the
Herald publishing company.
On these remaining eight days
hangs the results and it's wholly
within the power Of the subscribers
of the Herald to name the winner.
1t only remains for you to gel
busy as you never have before ir
this contest and place your favorite
in the lead.
The same generous offers as here
tofore given will remain good with
the exception that no two-months
subscriptions will count in the con
test.
The standing of contestants fol-
lows:

THE LEGISLATURES IN ITS RE
LATION TO THE STATE.

The Lewiston Tribune very fair
" sums up the work of the re
cent session of the Idaho legisla-
ture in the following editorial:
The always popular and usually
proper criticism of the legislature
must be f0reg0ne for this bien-
mum at least as far as the Tri-
bune is concerned, and the word
of appreciation and praise given
instead. There are, of course, acts
of commission and of omission
with which one could dissent and
even grow embittered in order to
play the role of critic and cynic,
but sensible and busy people have
more important things to interest
them than mere fault-finding, and
in that light it is not difficult to
realize that the state has, on the
whole, received good and faithful
treatment at the hands of the re-
cent session.
1t is generally considered that
the passage of the good roads bill
alone has justified the fourteenth
legislature, and this is true. 1t
means, in a large sense, rural
transportation where there is none
now worthy of the name. This
means, in turn, internal develop
ment and activity of more in
tensive sort than has been known
before. 1t means not only the cash
expenditure of one million dollars
carried in the bill but several
other millions besides. 1t means
that Idaho viii be a better state
to live in and to do business IN,
and that achievement is certainly |
a notable one, if there were moth
ing else
The educational and benevolent |
institutions have been well cared
for, ON a more appropriate scale
than has been known for the last
eight or ten years. They are now
enabled to make some external
improvement and to maintain in
ternal efficiency. None of these
institutions has yet been allowed |
to become great or distinctive but
all are proceeding along useful, i
methodieal and economical lines,
serving the state with diligence
and credit, and since they have
never been pampered are no doubt Ii
pleased with the modest increases
now given them.
In political legislation there has
been caution and good sense exer- Ii
eised. The law-making body has
not run wild over the new moral
code, or sought to exploit the lit
tie sins and foibles of the people |
by strange and multiplied harass-
ments. Some errors and defects II
of the code have been dealt with, I;
for better or worse, some platform Il
engagements have been complied
with, some electoral and achron-
isms have been remedied, and
changing conditions recognized by j
definitive law. The record here is Ii
unobjeetionable as well as credit
able. Some new bureaucracy has
been instituted and some old bu- 1
amplified. We are not
of the legislative body,
satisfied with that ineorrigible
