THE AGRICULTURAL BLOC.
(Boise StatesmanA

(Boise statesman
All defenses of the agricultural bloc
are alike. They lay elaborate stress
on the aims and objects and have little
to say about the method-and it is the
method that is wrong
The defense made by the American
Farm Bureau federation is not an ex-
ception. J. r. Howard, its president,
in recent address in Minnesota laid
great emphasis upon the bloc's aim
which is constructive legislation for
the farmer. To use his own words, the
bloc seeks "a square deal for the mid
die west and the other agricultural
sections"
But nobody, certainly nobody in an
agricultural region like south Idaho is
attacking the objects of the bloc-they
are good. It is the method that mat
ters. The method of a bloc is the
method of the man who cuts off his
head to cure a cold in his nose In or
der to get what it wants a bloc will
stop all legislation. jam the wheels of
government and, by developing a new
political weapon. endanger the future
welfare OF tine nation Those who de-
nounce the bloc denounce. not its OBJ
jects. but its methods.
Mr.. Howard. like all the other de-
tenders of the agricultural bloc. apol-
ogizes for the method, passing it off
with the simple statement that it
works. 1t produces results. The farm
ers simply must have what they want
and anything that will get it for them
is all right. So says this defender of
the bloc in effect in not in words
When Brutus and his followers stab
bed Julius Caesar they cured him of |
dangerous ambition. but they lost a
strong leader to the state and really /
hurt Rome. The ambition might have
been corrected in less disastrous ways.
So perhaps the interests that stand in
he way of the farmer. the legislative
that inks him and every
hing else he thinks Injurious to his
anse could he brought around to his
by some better method
han that of blowing them to smith
reens from a bloc house.

PROTECTION OR REPUTATION.

Republicans in congress should de-
cline to be stampeded by the ancient
bromides of anti -protectionist about
Chinese walls" and "prohibitive tar
ifs"
The truth is that owing to democrat
lied industrial and financial conditions
in Europe, particularly the fall in ex-
change, no tariff will be protective
which is not much higher than any
that would have bee necessary few
years ago.
1t is the duty and obligation of the
majority in congress to establish a
tariff on all articles of general Ameri-

in labor cost at home and abroad ex-

Diamond Drill for Oil.

Experiments with the diamond drill
as a means of driving oil wells have
been talked about more or less fol
some time. The first successful deep
well driven by a diamond drill seems
to have now come in. This we'll has
been for Mexican Standard Oil sub

The hole was started at inches, at
ledge and was finished at az inches,
at the depth of 215O feet from the sur
face. 1t is now producing heavily. It
is stated that the entire cost of the
work was about $4,000. or say so per
cent of what it would have been under
the usual plan of a percussion well

have been trifling, only about cent
foot, it is reported; if true, this was
due in part at least no doubt, to the
fact that the rock passed through was
largely homogeneous sandstones and
shales, neither of which is very hard.

WHY THIS STRING OF LETTERS
FROM CANNON?

The Miner has received Letter No

of agriculture for the state of Idaho
This as were all others. is addressed
to THE bankers of the state of Idaho"
and gives Mr. Cannon's conception of
THE Third House" 1t is in mimeo-
graph form and covers five closely
written pages These letters are sent
out on official stationery and il is as
sumed that they are prepared and
mailed at the expense of the state.
Presumably these letters are sent out
for the purpose of calling attention to
the heavy handicap under which the
agricultural interests are laboring in
the hope of securing remedial legisla-
ton, or possibly to place the farmers
in more favorable position with the
bankers of the state Both of these
purposes are doubtless commendable.
but why should the commissioner OF
agriculture assume the task of bring
ing them about in this unusual and we
might add questionable manner? Pos
sibly the political aspirations of the
commissioner are also included in this
propaganda in behalf Of the farmer.

FALL IN; FORWARD MARCH,
(salt Lake Mining Review.)


Now is the accepted time for all Of
us to forget the past and turn our
time and talents to building for the
future. THE mill will never grind with
the water that has passed" We've all
been hit and hit hard; but what is the
use of repining? We are gradually
emerging from the enervating atmos-
phere that cast a nearly impenetrable
cloud over the western mining horizon
during the year just closed and the
rift in this cloud is now broadening
with each passing day
A gigantic revival in metal mining
is shown to be at hand and the capi-
talist and investor will find many real
pointers on how to make money. To
those who have been weathering the
storm of adversely during the past
year or two. we wish to say there is
much to hope for in the near future.
All that now is necessary is to swing
nto line and join the procession.

Go Forth and Do
Edgar A. Guest.)

The great were once as you.
They whom men magnify today
Once CROPPED and Numbered on life's
way
Were fearful of themselves, and
though
BY magic was mems greatness
wrought;
They feared to try what they could
do;
Yet Fame hath crowned with her sue
cess
The selfsame gifts that you possess.
The great were once as you
Dreaming the very dreams you hold.
Longing yet fearing to be bold.
Doubling that they themselves pos
sessed
The strength and skill for every test;
Uncertain of the truths they knew.
Not sure that they could stand to fate
With all the courage of the great
Then came day when they
Their first bold venture made:
Scoring to cry for aid,
They dared to stand to fight alone,
Took up the gauntlet life had thrown.
Charged full to the fray
Mastered their fear of self. and then
Learned that our great men are but
men.
oh. man, go forth and do
You, too, to fame may rise:
You can be strong and wise.
Stand up to life and play the man
You can if you'll but think you can.
The great were once as you.
You envy them their proud success:
Twas won with gifts that you possess.
