has farmed and raised cattle in this
county, and knows the interests of
his constituents. Some have raised the
criticism against him that he spends
too much time in Boise working for
good roads and for the direct pri-
mary. That is an excellent criticism.
1t is proof that he knows the desires
of Idaho county people and will do his
utmost to get what they want and
what they need.
For representative we present Lloyd
Fem and Edgar Fry. Fem has had
one term in the legislature and has
acquitted himself well. We are proud
of the record he made. He is Young
and enthusiastic and N'knows the
ropes Let us send him back, Ed
gar Fry, of Ferdinand, is a farmer.
Those who know him best, both in Ida
no county and out, say that he is one
of the safest men we could send TO
Boise. He knows what legislation the
farmers need and will work for it.
His closest neighbors will vouch for
him.
County Auditor
The fact that the Democratic party
could find no man in the county whom
they thought to be strong enough to
run against Henry Telcher is proof
that the Republican party has picked
a winner. He is truly representative
of the spirit of the Republican party.
Those around the court house say that
he never makes a mistake. 1t is no
wonder that he has no opposition.
OopYniesionarS
Dale Clark, Ed S. Vincent and Floyd
Church, will continue the policy of
the present board. Two of them are
holdovers in the office. Everyone has
been satisfied with them. They have
built roads, they have bought and
paid for a court house without extra
tax, they have saved money for the
taxpayers. Why should we displace
them?
Chester Arnold has record of hon
esty integrity and fairdealing in all of
his private relations for many years
in Idaho county. He has made an
efficient deputy sheriff. He knows how
the expenses of the office have been
kept down below what they were under
Sheriff Eller, although twice the work
has been done. Again let us say:
tWhy should we displace him9"
Assessor
Calvin Hazelbaker has been assess
or of Idaho county for two terms. He
has made a good assessor. There have
been very few complaints of unjust
assessment because he has many years
,ao,o;,+opoo NTH r,ronartu va1uaS IN
Idaho county. He is faithful to the
duties of the office. He deserves to
be reelected.
Probate Judge
We all know Judge Byron. He has
filed the office of probate judge for
two years with satisfaction to every
one. He has been constantly on
duty. He will stay on duty as long as
the people want to have him there. He
has been in Idaho county since the
very early pioneer days. He will
unquestionably be chosen to look after

he interests of those who need protee
School superintendent

the interests OF those VINO need prOtec-
ton.
School Superintendent
Elmer A. Carpenter was an efficient
county superintendent in idaho county
many years ago. No one doubts his
efficiency or his qualifications to fill
the office.
Prosecuting Attorney
For the office of Prosecuting Attor-
ney we again present the name of
B. Anger. He has served the county
well during the last four years. he
understands the law and its interpre!a-
tons and is fearless in the prosecution
of criminals He is a Republican who
has consistently lined up with the
forces which mean progress. The Re
publican party feels that it can point
with pride to his record of efficiency
during the last few years.
Coroner
A. j. Maugg has filed very satisfae-
torily the Office of coroner He is well
qualified for this place. He can with
out inconvenience get even TO the
remotest parts of the county. This is
point well worth considering in the
selection of this official.
When the votes are counted next
Tuesday we are confident that it will
be shown that the voters have reposed
confidence again in the Republican par
ty and its candidates. 1t is a question
of stability versus radiealism and SEN
sationalism.

British Loan Called
Pawnbroking Deal

Vienna, March 21.-It is estimated
that about 4,7oO,00O pounds sterling
will be available fro,n the three
credits, Czech. British and French
now seemingly assured Austria. The
question is now raised. by Austrian
newspapers whether this amount
will be sufficient to merely pay the
invalid's hospital bill until conva-
lescence can begin or whether it will
finance his recovery"
1t is agreed in all quarters that
the money must be used TO stabilize
the krone and not frittered away OF
thrown into the same rat holes that
heretofore have swallowed advances
That the British loan at least and
probably the French also, is to be
under the meticulous administration
Of British controller, Mr.. Young, is
regarded as assuring it's use in only
such directions as the leader ap
proves.
The press generally expresses con
of the loan and indicates it is shared
in governmental circles. Such terms
as the "OttomaNization' and "Tu
nization of Austria" "a foreign
colony" and similar phrases are useo
and the fact that the famous Gobe
Inns, in part at least, are in pledg>
for the British loan has come in foi
its share of denunciation as pawn
broking deal"
The immediate effect of the an
nouncement of he loans and the dis
cussion as to what level the kron,
shall be standardized was to harder
the Austrian currency against for
eign exchange.
| Financiers, economists and publ
officials fill the newspapers wi h ad
vice regarding the figure of standard
ization. These range from eigh
Swiss centimes (normally about l.
ccrts) for 100 kroncn to as high a
20 (rormally about 4 cents). D,
Rosenburg, until recently fnancia
advisor to the government, warn
against basis any higher than tn
internal purchasing power of tn
krone. Warnings are given by man
economists that the country canno
stand a too rigorous dehation in il
present social and economic condi
ton.
1t is understood that all the credit
involved in. the present negotiation
are eventually to be consolidated int
that proposed by the League of Ma
tions.

Smallpox

Washington, March 22.-The De.
nartment Of Commerce, through the
bureau of the Census, announces that
there have been very few deaths from
smallpox in recent years. Since the
beginning of annual compilations in
1900 the highest rate from this cause
in the death registration area Of the
United States was 6.6 per 100000 pop
rlation in 1902, while in 1908 it was
4.2 and in 1904, 81, since which time
the rate for the registration area has
never reached l per 100,0 popnla
tion. Much higher rates in certain
states and cities, however, clearly
show that the danger of smallpox in
an unvaccinated population must not
be lost sight Of. The high rate (9.2)
in 1920 in louisiana should serve as
warning.

VIM. Rockefeller's
$25O,O0O Tomb

William Rockefeller, brother of
John D., is to spend quarter-of- ami
lion dollars IN erecting a magnificent
tomb for himself, the newspapers an
nounce. This is sad Few men of his
wealth and opportunities have more
miserably failed to build for them
selves a worthy place in the hearts
Of thei; fellow men. The only "mag-
rificent" monument William Rookie
feller will leave will be this palatial
tomb. The neighborhood where he
lives is full of stories illustrating what
an unneighborly neighbor and citizen
he is. Some of the anecdotes would be
unbelievable did they not come from
men Of unimpeachable truthfulness
who speak from first-hand knowledge
Of the facts.
The contrast between John d. and
William Rockefeller is remarkable.
John ID. makes friends wherever he
goes; he is democracy personified; he
is giving away money at a rate never
;qualled by any human being-and
YOU haven't heard, have you, any
