Going Some

The Kendrick Harness Shop re-
.ceived rush order over the phone
last Saturday morning at ten o'clock,
to send set of heavy dray harness
to Lewiston not later than Satur-
day evening. A description. of the
style of harness was given and as it
was a special order, of course it had
to be made up. N. E. Walker and
his assistant. Tom Sampson, went
to work on the set and had it ready
to send down on the 9:O5 train
Saturday night. This was pretty
quick work and goes to show that
Kendrick has a we'll equipped har.
ness shop. The reason for sending
to Kendrick from Lewiston for the
harness was that it could be bought
here much cheaper and also the
buyer had heard of the good quality
turned out of the Kendrick Harness
Shop.

Good Roads

1t is better to borrow money and
pay interest and have good roads
while we are paying for them, than
to pay our money out for this per-
petual repairing of bum roads and
never have roads worth anything,
says the Clearwater Republican.
Good Roads cost little for mainte-
nance, reduce the cost of marketing
the farmers crop, and make for
better living conditions in a COM
munity. They make life worth
while. Plugging along through
mud or dust is needless and USE
less waste of money. 1t is worse
than waste. 1t shows lack of good
business sense. 1t is on par with
the fellow who went to mill with a
little corn in one end of the sack
and stone in the other to make
the bag balance. We know better
than that today. Let us do better
when it comes to building roads.

big event in Boise since my last
letter. Preliminary announcements
indicated that at this banquet the
lid would be lifted and all the
speakers would be given the privi-
lege of expressing their feelings as
the spirit moved them without ref
erence to political expediency. Of
course the day was first fittingly
celebrated IN an address by Judge
Walters of Twin Falls who did full
justice to the immortal Lincoln,
but after that
There were 300 guests at two
dollars each. They were apparent
ly out for good time and they
seemingly had it. The "high cost
of living" cut the menu down to
the lowest limit, but the service
was elaborate. Each course disap-
peared about as soon as it was
placed before the guests and this
kept the walters hurrying and the
diners waiting. In due time how
ever, we came to the last course,
cigars and cigarettes, and the fun
began.
1t proved to be time for self
criticism and the Republican party
in Idaho was handled by Republi-
cans in way that doubtless caused
the Democratic Donkey to bray
long and loud. 1t was admitted on
all hands that the defeat of the
party was decisive and would be
lasting unless the party could again
be restored to the confidence of the
people, a confidence which had been
lost through bad leadership and
self-confessed criminals.
The Primary was decried by every
speaker and were we TO point out
the paramount cause Of the disrup.
tion of the party, as discussed by
the speakers of the evening. we
would unhesitatingly call it the Pri.
mary. 1t was clearly stated by g
present state senator that two years
ago the Legislature had been un
faithful to it's trust in not submit
ting a plan to alter the direct Pri
mary law and that the cause fo,
that unfaithfulness was "highel
up" and Senator Borah will now
have a chance to explain why HI
wrecked his party in this state.

man that will do some big politi-
cal stunts before many years. He
was clearly the most polished speak
er of the evening.
D. w. Davis, who also ran for
governor, was there, likewise Cap
tain Davis and opponents of his
in the primary. Both spoke. 1t is
not hard to understand how these
two excellent gentlemen felt when
Senator Randall spoke of the neces-
sity "of finding a man we could all
get behind two years hence" and
then concluded with slap at Gov
ernor Alexander by saying, "But it
would be better to go down to de-
feat behind a man fitted for COVER
nor than to win with a mere vote
getter.'
The Governor came in for his
share of attention. He was alluded
to as "that son Of Israel" "the
Jew," "a FOOL" and "a vender of
overalls." To all these epithets the
governor pleads guilty unless he
should deny that he is fool. But
assuming all that was said of the
governor to be true, how would
you classify the majority of the
voters of this state?
There can be no doubt that this
splendid body of men really mean
to revivify their party along lines
that are strictly honorable. They
frankly admit that they were mis-
represented by their officials in the
years that are past but rather
cloudy distinction was drawn be-
tween "a man fit for office" and "a
mere vote getter." 1t seems tt
the writer that a man fitted for of
flee is "a vote getter" unless W.
are forced to the conclusion thai
those exercising the right of fran
chise are not honorable men ant
women.
The only criticism we have to of
fer on this Lincoln Day banque
lies in the fact of the absence O.
women. There was not singl

part of our citizenship present. O.
course there are reasons for this

Idaho Seed Growing

Indicative of the interest eastern
seed merchants have in the produc-
tion Of garden and field seeds in
this state is an inquiry recently re-
ceived from the Peninsula Produce
Exchange of Maryland. This COM
pany writes the university expert
ment station to find out whether
farmers in Idaho make speciality
of growing peas and beans for seed
purposes and, if there are any such,
whether contracts could be made
with them for the production of
garden pea and bean seed.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the DeKalb county,
Illinois, Soil Improvement associa-
tion year ago entered into con-
tract with farmers in the vicinity
of Aberdeen, this state, for the pro-
duction of carload of alfalfa seed.
The contract for the growing of
this seed was secured for the farm
ers at Aberdeen through the activ.
ity of l.. c. Aicher, superintendent
of the Aberdeen sub-station. The
contract specified that all seed pro-
duced for this association should be
cleaned over the experiment station
mill at Aberdeen. graded and pass
ed upon by the superintendent.
Mr.. Aicher reports that the contract
has been filed to the entire satisfac-
tion of the parties concerned.
The farmers in the vicinity of
Aberdeen also produced under con-
tract this year large acreage Of
peas of the Kaiser, Carleton and
Chang varieties for bureau of the
federal department of agriculture.
Superintendent Aicher reports the
grading of the seed and the submis-
sion of samples to officials of the
bureau who report that the contract
has been fulfilled to their entire
satisfaction.
A state leader of county agents
in Minnesota is trying to close a
contract with Aberdeen farmers
for the production Of a large a.
mount of Grimm alfalfa seed for
the farmers of his county in Mime
sofa. A similar movement was
started recently by the agronomy
department of the University of
Wisconsin for the production of
seeds at Aberdeen in this state for
sale in Wisconsin to farmers who
desire pure strains of high quality
seed. It is perfectly evident from
inquiries similar to the ones noted
above and the contracts and inquir-
les reported by Superintendent
Aicher of the Aberdeen sub-station
that the seed business is assuming
large proportions in Idaho.-Star-
Mirror.

automobiles than for the entire
public school system.

the subject of our public schools.

ed his expression becomes. Then

and watch shis face brighten up. He
will sped an hour in telling you
which isshis favorite car and why.
Is this as it should be? Is the auto
mobile of more Importance than the
mental development of our children?
Man is creature of evolution.
We have outgrown the old belief
that he was created six thousand
years ago with the same intelligence
and the same tastes that he has to-
day. Scientific research has brought
to light the fact that he has been
tensan d perhaps hundreds of thou
sands of years developing into what
he is today.
There are human beings on the
island of New Guinea, who are in
such backward state of mental
development that they are not
even aware of the fact that they
can think. They live a life similar
to that of a wild beast, eating in
its natural state, any food that hap
pens to come to hand. With fact
like this in evidence, have we not
ample grounds to believe that at
one time the entire human race was
in similar state, and if so, what
has led up to our present state of
civilization and culture?
To this question there is only one
answer Education or mind culture.
This mind culture has advanced
a hundred fold since the printing
press and public school system came
into use. Cultivation is the whole
secret of advancement, by cultiva-
tion the scrubby wild apple has
been developed into the perfect
fruit we eat today. By cultivation
the Glove apple" or wild poisonous
tomato has been developed into a
delicious food. So by cultivation
of the mind man has conquered the
land and sea, and is conquering
even the air. 1t is. through long
years of mind culture and concen-
tration that man has been able to
produce the automobile and now
shall we begin to neglect the devel-
opment of the power that produced
these results?
l believe l am justified in saying
that the country public schools have
advanced the least during the last
generation of any institution we
could name. We are using the
same old school houses with their
same old-fashioned windows so in
jurlous to the eyes. We still allow
or rather compel the teacher or jan
itor to stir up the germladen dust
with an old-fashioned broom. We
still pay one teacher to handle eight
grades as was done twenty or thirty
years ago.
We are very indignant if our
taxes are increased a few dollars in
order to improve the schools, but
we cheerfully buy an automobile,
pay out from fifty to hundred
dollars year for it's maintenance,
and pay the state fifteen or twenty
dollars a year for the right to run
it on the public road. Still we are
more interested in the car than we
are in the school.
l don't know how others feel
about it, but l for one would like
to see our interests at least more
evenly divided.
