People who regard the big utility
concerns of the country as CLOSE cor

decisions. The railroads, electric
light and power concerns, street rail-
ways, and big corporate industries,
are usually built fro mthe wealth of
all classes of people. For the United
States is made up of people who are
investors. Mr.. H. B. Thayer, presi-
dent Of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company, in recent state
ment tells who owns the great con-
Germ of which he is the executive
head. 1t appears that there are 135 900
owners of stock of that company, and
about as many more owners of its
bonds. There are 46,l26 employees
who have purchased stock.
In Illinois there are 275,0OO men
and women who own securities i'll the
different utilities of the state.
Perhaps the war issues of liberty

many people, who learned from their

THE CONTEST.

From every possible standpoint, the
prize giving circulation contest which
closed Saturday night was . success.
As the result of the contest, The
Tribune is today going into many
new homes in Canyon county and
stands as the best advertising medium
for the use Of local merchants that
any paper in this section of the state
offers.
To those whose hard work and per-
sevefence placed them in the prize
winning class, The Tribune extends
hearty congratulations. Probably no
paper ever had more loyal group
of candidates. certainly II would not
be possible for some of them to have
done more than they did do. OF
course, not all could win the coveted
automobile.
Whatever else may be said. we be-
lieve that no one will contest the as
sertion that the contest was not hon
estly conducted and the prizes award
ed to those who won them fairly and
squarely. While from a financial
standpoint, The Tribune did not profit
to the extent that we had hoped,
nevertheless we sincerely believe that
the added prestige which q magnifi-
fled circulation will give that the con-
test even from this standpoint was
we'll worth while.

WAR HOLIDAYS.

Wars usually give birth to one hol
day. We of the United States have
our Fourth of July and our Memorial
day. Now, since the cessation Of hos
tilities in the one great war of all
time, we have Armistice day.
November IL. 1918, and each recur-
ring November II will have a world
Significance, that is only rivalled by
the international observance Of Christ
mas. Stories from France and Eng
land told how those nations paid hon.
age to those who gave their lives that
the world might continue to be free,
to work out its. democratic destiny.
From the tropics of the Congo to the
ice of the Aleutian islands, Armistice
day brought with it tribute to the
millions who lie in France.
Holidays grow with the years.
Armistice day is still SO young that
the manner in which it is to be finally
observed has not yet been fully hit
upon. Sometime its observance will
be almost standardized, even as our
observance of Memorial day and
Thanksgiving are at present.
This last Armistice day was OBJ
served variously. In Caldwell prac-
tically every place of business was
closed during the entire day. This
was well. But other towns did moi

his cabinet Booms for every politi-
cal leader of consequence who might
be willing or induced to accept
place as member of Harding's Of
ficial family will be in order, AL
ready many men have been men
toned for such positions. Among
these, Idaho is particularly interested
IN the suggestion that Governor Davis
might be the next secretary of the in
terror. Fred Reed has also been suR-
gested. Either, we know, would prove
of inestimable value to the west in its
fight for reclamation.
OF course, the west is vitality inter-
ested in the man who will fill this
position. The west, too long forgot
ten and neglected, must some day be
recognized. No part of this nation Of
fers greater opportunities for Develop
ment through government aid than
does the west, the northwest in par
ticular. Harding, by all means, should
name someone from these states to
direct the destines of the department
of the interior during his four-year
term.
But whoever Harding names, one
thing is certain. His cabinet will not
be cluttered with "amiable nonend-
ties" such as Woodrow Wilson desig-
mated as his uppets. We won't have
to stand for any Burlesons or Bakers
or Daniels.
For Harding is not what Wilson is
and was. Wilson regarded himself
as self sufficient. He didn't want con-
structive advice, he wanted to be the
whole show. On the other hand
Harding will be president who will
endeavor to keep close to the public
pulse. And the only way that is pos
sibie with a president Of the United
States today is by surrounding him
self with group of capable advisers
and then act upon their suggestions

ABOUT DA1L1Es.

According to the current issue Of
the New Freedom, state weekly organ
d the Democratic party, stock SELF
ing campaign has been launched to
plsce = Democratic daily paper in
Boise. In some respects, the desire
to give the Democratic party a proper
newspaper representative in southern
Idaho is laudable one. At present,
every publication Of consequence in
southwestern Idaho is Republican in
politics.
But daily papers are expensive lux
uries these days. About a year ago,
two new dailics were established in
Pocatello, the News and the Herald.
Pocatello is city of $4,000 population.
But it already had one creditable daily
paper, The Tribune, and the field, it
proved, was not large enough to sup
port two,' much less three, daily pa
pers. First the Herald suspended and
Saturday the News went out of bust
ness. g43g.,s
Prices generally are coming down.
But thus far there has not been the
slightest intimation that anyone Of
the factors which determine printing
costs have even - yet reached the
pinnacle Of high prices. On the con-
trary, they continue to soar. Paper
is almost luxury.
For some time, The Tribune seri-
ously considered the establishment
and operation of a daily paper in Cald-
we'll. We thoroughly Investigated the
cost Of production of creditable daily
paper in this field and found that it
would place an almost prohibitive bur-
den upon the community. In other
words, it is the advertiser who must
pay the cost of producing a daily
and as yet, Caldwell has not reached
the place, either from a population
or business standpoint, where daily
paper would not, be a burden upon
the community.
A year ago under the economic
conditions which existed it might have
been possible for daily paper to have
been established in Caldwell and to
have paid its way. Today, paper
that would be credit to the commun-
ity is virtual impossibility.
Bear this in mind, however. The
Tribune is building a plant with the
object in view of operating daily
paper just as soon as business con-
ditions in the community warrant this
step. To start daily paper that Cald.
we'll might take pride in offering as
an example of the progressiveness Of
the community would at present BIZ
virtual business suicide.

close for the entire day. Might it
not be we'll if everything, by common
consent, the wheels of industry and
labor should cease for the day at II
a. m. on each recurring Armistice
day anniversary? That would pro-
vide a desirable uniformity. And II
a. m: was the hour when hostilities
ceased, when Armistice day really
came into existance.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES.
CHICAGO GRAIN NARKrr

Chicago, Dec. 19.-Bearish econonic and financial developments had a good deal to do today with a sharp setback which took place in the price of wheat The market closed heavy, 1-2 to 6 3-4 net lower with Dec. 160 3-4 to 161 and March 157 3-4@15S. Corn lost 3 $40 1 l-2 cents, oats from 2 O 2 5-Sc and provisions 22c O 72c.
 Breaks in the value of stocks. cotton. silver and sugar put bulls at a disadvan- tage from the outset in the wheat mar ket. Much attention was also given to a statement from the federal reserve bank of Chicago. pointing to imperative need of liquidation of loans on the part of country banks. Besides, predictions were current that there would be a fifty per cent increase of wheat receipts in Kansas within a fortnight. Authoritative deni. als that any such increase was probably did not reach Chicago until after the mar ket had closed. Meanwhile the market continued to weaken although on the de- cline there was free buying to remove hedges on Canadian wheat that presum- ably would be shipped to Europe. Signs of domestci milling demand were like wise noted.
 Corn and oats showed independent
 weakness largely as result of nor, liberal offerings of corn to arrive, par l ticularly from Nebraska. Provision.
 gave way with grain and hogs.

 The sudden change in the date and place for the American league meeting al- so confused the junior league cub owners. some of whom were planning vacation trips to the south and objected to re- turning to Chicago after completing their business rere. An effort will be made. according to President Heydler, of the National league when President Johnson and Judge Landis arrive here tomorrow morning to revert to the original dates selected for. this city.
 President Heydler indicated that he was late today from Judge Landis notifying him of the change in the plans for the joint meetin:l A majority of the club owners of the National and American leagues had arrived in New York for the meeting tomorrow on the new national agreement and had arranged such plans that the trip back to Chicago will cause considerable inconvenience.
 President heydler indicated that he was favor of the original schedule of holding the joint meeting in New York, and said that the National league will be able i to finish the business of it's annual meet l ing in time to hold the joint session here l Wednesday.
 | Tonight the club owners, especially those who had planned to go on vaca- tions from this city; literally were ''up in i the air." It was impossible for them
 to get into communication with Judge
 Landis or President Johnson of the American league, both of whom had
 started for New York.
 i The meeting tomorrow will be the first session of the committees named by the National and American leagues and the National sCsociation of professional base
 ball leagues to draw up new national
 agreement. Presidents Heydler and Johnson and Secretary John H. Farrell
 of the National Association will meet with | the committees in an advisory capacity
 It is expected the sessions will continue
 until Monday or Tuesday, depending up on whether Sunday meeting is held.

 Beckett got in some good work in the second round and again Moran closed in. trying short arm jabs which failed to land. Moran got in a hard smash, but Beckett quickly retaliated with a pow erful right to the jaw. Beckett was floor ed 1, with a crashing uppercut during in fighting and was counted out when he failed to rise. The end of the bout came amidst intense excitement.
 Beckett's sudden collapse was most sensational as up to a few seconds. be- fore he was counted out he had land ed many more blows that the Ameri- can, who by comparison seemed much slower. Moran was again warned for elinching in the second round.
 The knockout blow was Moran's first effort at real fighting. He put all his strength into the right uppercut which landed on Beckett's chin and sent the British champion to the boards, where he rolled over and over until counted out.
