Ihe mound stands fifty feet high

Program Appeals.

MOORE'S constructive program is
appealing to the people of the state
in manner indicating the fullest con-
fidence in the progress and develop
ment ideals of the Republican party.
Here and there we find our Demo
cratic friends indulging in billingsgate
and much misrepresentation. 1t
dawns on the thinking person, how
ever, that campaigning of that sort
does not get anywhere. 1t offers no
solution to the evils of the times.
Reconstruction on sane lines is re-
CURED in every industrial and COM
mercial field. Farms and farm pro-
cesses must be gone over, markets
created for new products, and the re-
sources of the state brought up to the
highest standard of development
Moore's program saves the situation
and encourages the creation of wider
fields of output and activity.

History's Light

Advices from the United States Gus
tom houses show that during the last
few days preceding the final enact
ment of the McCumberF ordney tariff
and its signature by President Hard
ing, the rush of importers to get goods
into this country under the Underwood
tariff rates broke all records, with the
possible exception of the record they
made in 1897.
II is interesting to recall that i'll 1897
the Dingley protective tariff was en-
acted 10 take the place of the Wilson
act. The Wilson act was the free
trade law enacted when the Mckinley
law was repealed. 1t was the free
trade act which brought about the ter
rible panic in 1898 and succeeding
years. Practically all of the indus
tries of the United States were COM
pletely closed as result of the Will
son tariff. Those conditions gave the
Republican party in 1896 its campaign
slogan of open the Mills and not the
Mints"-in answer to the Democratic
party's claim that what the country
needed to restore prosperity was free
coinage of silver
One Of the Democratic members OF
the ways and means committee who
helped frame the Wilson bill that
brought about the terrible panic oil
1893 and successive years was William
J. Bryan, who recently announced he
intends to take the stump in this cam
paign and make the tariff an issue.
The Democratic party fought the
enactment of the Ding1ey tariff pusr
as it has fought the enactment of the
Nc Cumber- Fordney tariff 1t made

position as a Republican in Idaho is
gone forever.
Just what effect Senator Borah
would have in this campaign is prob
lematical. He has prodigious strength,
it is true. Borah may swing votes
enough from the Republican party to
elect Progressives or Democrats. And
that at once leads to further conclus-
ions.
Alexander never will support di-
rect primary law in Idaho if he is
elected governor. Today he is the
Democratic standard bearer because he
has been assured the nomination for
senator two years hence. And the
Democratic leaders certainly cannot
guarantee him that nomination with
primary law on ldaho's statute
books.
The Tribune is far from convinced
that a politician of Borah's ability will
jeopardize his position in Idaho by
combating the party he has so long
followed.

Borah In Idaho.
SENATOR RORAH today star

SENA1 OK 6OHAd today stands
at decidedly critical point in his
political life. He has come to Idaho
ostensibly to advocate state wide
direct primary and to assail the Ford
ney tariff law. At least, that is the
announcement made from Washington
before the Idaho senior senator staff
ed west.
No one denies that Borah possesses
the courage of his convictions. No
one for one minute will believe that
if Senator Borah did come . idaho
to advocate direct primary and to
attack the protective tariff that he
will fail to do so.
And yet perhaps Borah has not rea-
lized the import of what he proposes
So far as the tariff is concerned, Sen
ator Borah is on the wrong side Of
the fence in Idaho. Idaho producers
are unanimous in asking that farm pro-
ducts and livestock be given the ad-
vantage of protection. They are will
ing to pay more for sugar and clothes
if they can get good prices for hay
and wool and grain.
On the primary, Borah holds posi-
ton directly contrary to Republican
opinion in Idaho. Republican op-
ponents are making political capital of
Borah's stand and are making wild
and furious charges against the Re-
publican machine" which, they aver,
would deny Idaho voters the right to
name their candidates.
The Tribune's position that until
Idaho can learn to use a county pri-
mary and can develop a method Of
safeguarding state law, the present
county primary is best, is too we'll
known to require exploitation here
Senator Borah has been elected and
reelected by the Republican party in
Idaho to long and honorable career
in the United States senate. But
should he advocate a direct primary
for Idaho, playing his own game and
insuring his nomination two years
hence on the Republican ticket, and
his efforts fail, Borah would have no
more chance of obtaining Republican
convention nomination than he has of
forcing American recognition of So
Wet Russia. In Brief, if Borah casts
the die in Idaho and loses now, his

Lest We Forget.

1T is recalled that during 1915 when
Moses Alexander was governor, the
King Hill project was declared by him
to be worthless and defunct, and
measure of benefit to that important
irrigation project was vetoed. He
blew hot and cold on the proposition,
and after turning down proposed bene-
fetal legislation he suggested that a
$450,000 bond issue would solve the
problem for the district and complete
the work. In the next breath he re-
pudiated even that suggestion.
1t is needless to go into a discus
sion of the troubles as we'll known
to the people of that district, which
is now operating under government
direction to good effect and is a COM
munity of happy and contented peo-
pie and prosperous farms. There re-
mains, however, the. fact that its very
existence was fought by Alexander.
The Homedale bridge item is an
other thing that will not be forgotten
by the people of the Gem irrigation
district. Not only did he tell the peo-
pie of that section that they should
have bridge and pump them full
of campaign promises, but told peo-
pie of other sections where bridges
were badly needed that it would be
his purpose to see that they were
constructed. That he vetoed the
measures after they had hard strug-
gle thru the legislature is matter of
common knowledge. HIS has ever
been a campaign of bunco, deception
and Misrepresentation.
He is pursuing the same tactics in
the present campaign.
And it should not be forgotten that
he took the sacred endowment funds.
dedicated to the schools, hospitals
and humanitarian institutions and ap-
piled them to pay administration ex-
penses in order to make a showing of
small taxes.
He did the same thing with the
money obtained from insurance on the
burned Lewiston Normal and Sol
diers' Home, instead of using the
funds to reconstruct the buildings
Appropriations of $96,67O for the Gem
irrigation district, $4,000 for the
Steunenberg memorial, $4,000 for
bridges, all went into the general fund
to make false showing. He vetoed
a $4,000 appropriation designed to save
the farmers against the alfalfa weevil,
and it cost them hundreds of thou
sands, and resulted in heavy quar-
antine against the state
He has no defense on these ruth

costly and incompetent, and he left

the sure punishment that it metes out

have again become active in Idaho.
Thus far the situation is far from
critical. There is no need 70 become
alarmed, no need to anticipate that
the destruction of property, such as
marked the last |. W. w. invasion of
the state, will be repeated this fall or
winter. But perhaps by another

found a profitable market for his pro-
ducts. During this period of II years
there was more development of Amer
lean industries and more development
in the agricultural states of the Miss
issippi valley than in any period of the
countrys history.
1t is safe to assert that just as these
things followed logically after the en-
actment and operation of the Dingley
tariff so will similar conditions follow
as result of the McCumber-Fo or dney
tariff, which has just became operative.

hottest Place on Earth.

The Dead sea, at the southern end
Of the Jordan valley, in Palestine, is
said to be the hottest place on earth.
II is Al miles long, ten miles wide,
and lies in depression 1900 feet be-
low the level of the sea. Hence 1t has
no outlet to the sea and the waters
that now into 1t are disposed of by the
rapid evaporation caused by the heat.
Five million tons are thus daily taken
up by the atmosphere. There is not
Il deeper trench than this on earth. As
perpetual snow rests on the tops of
high mountains because they are out
Of the blanket of air to some extent,
SO the Dead sea is always hot because
II Is under so thick blanket and also
situated well southwark. The water
of this curious lake Is five times as
salty as the ocean, and one cannot
sink in It, The water is bitter to the
taste, oily to the touch, and produces

BIG IcIcLEs BLOCKED TRAIN
Serious Delay Caused by Freak Tenn
perature in Tunnel Through the
Cascade Mountains.

Huge icicles stopped transconti-
mental train in a Cascade mountain
tunnel for several hours until the OBJ
structions were cut away. Water
dripping from some mysterious source
poured through the roof and formed
into icicles three feet in diameter,
blocking the tracks. The train, NOV
ing at a snail pace, was brought to n
stop within few feet of the blockade
and delayed for some time while the
ice columns were sawed OFF. During
this operation the wheels of the engine
froze to the rails, and jets of steam
had to be used to free them. The tenn
perature in this one tunnel has always
been mystery. The interior of most
tunnels is usually warmer than the
temperature at the portals, but in the
single instance hoar frost sometimes
forms on the steel rails several inche;

Unless you have visions which lead you
to see

He figures its height and its girth;
How many board feet II would yield to
the saw,
And just what the boards would be
worth.
And yet to the man who has vision, it
stands,
A miracle sprung from the sod,
A green living glory that ever proclaims
The spirit and purpose of God.
The practical man sees a practical world
And runs 1t in practical style.
He's safe and he's sane as an everyday

But still. every once in while,
Though practical people make living run
