troduced in the legislature. But the
legislature, being Republican, prompt
ly overwhelmed the measure.
An then The News clinches its
argument:
1t begins to look as though the
opposition to Mr. Alexander has
to perch on some pretty narrow
roosts. They seem to have
hard time coming good campaign
dope and must resort to abuse
and untruth in order to make a
case for themselves.
Two things the editor of The News
has evidently overlooked. One is the
obvious fact that Republicans do not
need to "coin" campaign dope" Mr.
Alexander himself affords an mex
haustible supply every time he make:
an address.
And then perhaps The News does
Mt know. this but in 1917, when Mr.
Alexander was again governor o
Idaho, when he had Democratic leg
islature, when his platform contained
bank guaranty clause, when Their
was no Republican majority in tn
Legislature to vote down bills that tn
democrats introduced for political Ell
feet and not with any desire that the
become Idaho law, THERE WAS NJ
lBANK GUARANTY MEASURE
INTRODUCED IN THE LEGlSLA
lTURE.
Mr.. Alexander excuses the omiss'o
with the contention that such la
was not needed in 1917. That is,
course, mere political subterfuge' re
a law that is a good law sometimes
a good law all the time. And ii sue
measure was not needed IN Januar
of 1917, it certainly was not neede
in October of 1916 when the Demo
I cratic party pledged such law to tt
neople of Idaho in their platform.

Growers are entitled to more than
40 cents per hundred for potatoes that
retail, when they can be had at all,
in Chicago for five cents per pound.
The trouble is that brokers, and COM
mission men and wholesalers and re-
tailers all get a dig out of the pro-
ducts of the farm before the consumer
has a chance to buy the stuff
Yet it is interesting to note that
the Idaho potato is coming into its
own from the standpoint of national
recognition. w. H. Redway, of Cald.
we'll, who is visiting in Chicago fav-
ored The Tribune this week with q
communication and with it this clip
ping from a restaurant advertisement
published in The Chicago Tribune:
The big Idaho baked potato, with
a lug of melted butter, which we
give you for only Is cents every
day from S p. m. to 8 p. m is
. good example of what we mean
when we speak of our big por-
, tons. Recently we weighed sew
eral hundred OF these potatoes,
The smallest one weighed a
pound and half-some weighed
two pounds. A peck of regular
grocery store potatoes contains
about IS. A peck of the Idaho
> potatoes we bake contains 8 or 9.
So the ones we bake are about
: three times the size of the usual
potato.

Moore, the Man.

c. c. MOORE made lot of friends
in Caldwell Wednesday evening Ad-
vance press notices, particularly be-
fore the campaign was we'll under
way, gave Idaho the impression that
Mr.. Moore was not fluent talker,
and implied that the public was not
to expect too much from him in his
addresses.
1t is true that Mr. Moore is not an
orator. But his common sense, fluent
presentation of Idaho issues, We'd
nesday held a big audience at high
point of interest, caused little ripples
of laughter to sweep the crowded
theatre and prompted spontaneous out
bursts Of applause. Starting rather
slowly and clearly showing the eff
fects of a long and hard campaign,
Mr. Moore quickly warmed to his
subject, the crowd became at once
responsive to his discourse and he left
the impression that here is an Idaho
citizen who knows what he is talk,
ing about and who is thoroughly &C.
quainted with the problems of, mo-
only the state but the states citizen:
as well.
Mr.. Moore is man who inspires
confidence. In St. Anthony where HI
has lived for % years, Mr.. Moore i
held in high regard by every person
who knows him. And that include
everyone in that region. The highes
compliment that any man can receiv
is that he is honored and respecte'
where he is best known.
c. c. Moore, the man, is eminentl
qualified to fill the duties of Idaho
governor.

Jail Breakers.

FOUR prisoners in the county Jail
resumed their privileges as freedom
dictates last Sunday evening by mere
w walking out of the Jail doors. So
far they have not been recaptured.
Canyon county possesses the con-
tradiction of a Jail that is not jail
With more men in the institution than
the building was ever designed to &C
comodate. with ramshackle struc-
ture that any man can break through
almost any time he tries, there is no
way that prisoners can be safeguard
ed. Escaping is just question OF
trying it.
No person could ask that the sheriff
of Canyon county sit astride the jail
roof with a gun to prevent his charges
making breaks for liberty. No tax
payer wants guards stationed there
every hour of the day for no othe'
purpose than to keep the prisoners II
iail. And yet, with the present pro
vision for holding prisoners, nothing
else will suffice. There are severa
cells at the Jail, it is true, but no per
son can jam 20 prisoners in four cell
at night.

When the city editor of a small
town newspaper gets to his office at
7 a. m, he throws off his coat, rolls up
his sleeves, fills his pipe with his
favorite brand of so-called tobacco,
lights it, pulls new pencil from
drawer, sharpens it and sits down.
Suddenly the telephone bell rings
and he picks up the receiver. The
voice of woman on the other end OF
the wire Indignantly wants to know
why the item regarding the ice cream
and strawberry social to be given by
the Ladies' Hope Society of the
Presbyterian church wasn't in the
paper the night before. 1t was such
an important item and so many friends
fof the church were looking for IT.

You'll find the item buried on page

ioshes the woman for overlooking it.
His days work has begun. He's in
his element. He's happy.
Some one, probably about the time
when the earth was emerging from
chaos to order, remarked that variety
is the spice of life. He must have had
in mind the city editor Of the small
town daily newspaper. What variety
is. he gets. No two 10-minute periods
of long working day are the same.
He's the buffer between the public
and the publisher. He gets blamed for
all errors-typographical, grammatical
fact; and if there's a suit for libel, he's
the cause Of it. He's got TO know his
town and what's more, know the peo-
pie in it. He's got to know their char
acteristics, their likes and dislikes. He's
got to know what to print and how
much of it, and what not to print, and
sometimes it's more important to know
what not to print than what TO print.
In the plant he's panned by the cir
culation department, chided by the ad-
vertising department, lambasted by the
composing room and cursed by the
prcssman. Even the newsboyS take a
kick al him. But they all love him
and he loves them all. And his report
