TO THE VOTERS OF
BINGHAM COUNTY

l desire to announce my candidacy
for the position OF County Clerk and
Recorder on the Republican ticket,

My experience OF the past has been
such that the work OF the County

to do all in my power to adopt them.

MY KANSAS FLOWER.

You should see the stately sun
flower, CROWN by my kitchen porch.
Like Waterman on the campus,
hOldin' up his regal torch. Every
day he plays obeisance to the author
of his power,-smilin' at the master
planet, every minnit-every hour.
Not a frown from constant service
ever clouds his patient face. On he
grows-to full perfection, standin' in
an humble place. Keerin' nOthin' fer
environs-thoughful only of his plan,
--settin' forth a rich example fer his
hapless neighbor, Man.
Though our station be the hum
blest, there is alters room to grow.
Angels from the heights is calm
Glory beckins-let us go! Amt no
harm to over-shadder smaller bios
SONS if we can Never will be no
objections to bigger, better man!
Sunflower sets a splendid pattern az
she towers above our head,-firmly
rooted-crowned with glories,-what
more fittin' could be said? Amt no
limit to the CROWN when our time
is wisely spent. Every passion wuth
the knowin'' lifts US from environ
ment!

this conviction, so frequently in fact
that 1t is time we turned the micro
scope on this very vital assumption
Morals are largely geographical and
always subject to the times. The
theory of right today may be wrong
tomorrow. In the early days princi-
| pies in government may have been
more vital than men. Indeed this
may be true today, but it is certain
that today the character of the men
we choose to serve us is more vital
than ever before in history, for in
matters of government we are COM
PEELED to put blind faith in the men
we choose to serve us. Government
has become so highly technical, so
amazingly complex, that it is quite
beyond the understanding of the av-
erage individual. The subtleties of
civic finance, the intricacies Of export
trade, the complexities of transpor-
tation problems by land and sea, the
technique of tariff, the bewildering
contradictory elements entering into
scientific taxation, not to speak Of the
dazing problems Of foreign relations
have removed government so far
from the ken Of the average citizen
that he has lost all touch with It; he
feels it is something with which he
has grave concern, but in which he
dares not express an opinion. His
happiness, his welfare, depend on the
skill with which these technical
r~O1,1o,,oc oro oo~%ror<od not ~,
can be man-handled to his complete
undoing without his even sensing the
folly of his representative. Summed
up, government has gone completely
from the hands Of the people: It
seems to have outgrown the people
The people have not kept up with the
procession. The press has been in
sufficient as an educational force
not for lack of desire, but because
the press must exist ana the people
demand as the price of support the
publication of trivialties. The great
city newspapers have come to be a
mixture of Diamond Dick, Sherlock
Holmes and Laura Jean Libbey, strip
ped Of personality, often devoid Of
principle, pandering to the intellect
Of the f1apper and assuming mis-
leadership" based on bluff and bus
ter which rests on the inability Of
the people to tear away the mask Of
mock heroics and disclose a half
baked understanding Of our national
vitamines. 1t seems as if we must
turn back the cloak and take more
careful measure of the integrity and
ability Of those we must trust to do
for US the things we are unable our
selves to understand. If not this,
then we need some new system Of
education in the land.

HIGH SCHOOL, AND AGRICUL-
TURAL CLUB NOTES

Agricultural meetings are schedu-
led for Thomas, Moreland and Black
foot for this week At these meet
ings the boys discuss the work on
their farm plots, where they are cor
relating their school work with pra-
ctical farming. At these meetings
the boys have the advantage of ex-
pert advice from the county agent
and the high school agricultural
teacher.
Over a hundred club members and
high school students who are spec
ializing in Agriculture are planning
to take the excursion picnic with the
farm bureau members on July 18th.
The purpose of this trip is to study
the existing conditions on most sue
cessful farms in the county and to
learn wehat the experiment station
at Aberdeen is doing to aid til farm
ing industry.
Boys who ar raising pigs will as
semble their pigs at Starkweather's
ranch, where the caravan will make
one of it's stops to see what the boys
are doing. Many of the boys, plots
along the route will be visited on
this trip.
Both the high school students and
the club members will wear badges
as an aid in becoming acquainted
with each other and the farm bureau
members.

MEASLES AND
MOSQUITOES.

DR.. Royal s. Copeland, Commits
siOner of Health for the City Of New
York, makes the fiat assertion that
measles can be completely wiped out
in this country in forty-eight hours
In the same breath we are authorita-
lively advised that the pestilent mos
quito cannot fly more than one thous-
and feet and live.
What a reflection on the United
States Government, If these asser-
lions be correct, and there is no rea-
son to doubt them. The one great
necessary step; namely, passing this
Information under government auth
ority directly to the people, is ig-
nored. Consequently. measles still
carry death and suffering to the
young. and mosquitoes spread their
poison over almost every inch of the
United States.
It may be possible for the press
unaided by the government, to bring
some relief, though lack of unified ac-
ton undoubtedly must end in failure
II the mosquito cannot fly more
than one thousand feet, then every
householder has 1t within his power
to establish for himself at least a
mosquito zone. Clean up for one
thousand feet. See that old bottles
and tin cans containing water are

WHY NOT A
FIRENIEN'S DAY?

What a fitting tribute it would be
to the volunteer tiremen who guard
the lives and property of so many
millions of our people if common
day were fixed to show public appre-
citation of the unselfish service Of
these splendid men. Flowers In the
coats of men on Mothers Day are
beautiful and inspiring. There Is
even little sentiment here and there
for Fathers Day, and perhaps this
idea may grow to greater proportion.
Father, however, can wait, and he
will be glad to wait If we can see a
Fremen's Day come into being. When
is does, let us hope it will take a
practical turn. State laws pretty
generally fail to protect the volun-
teer fireman, and villagers are quite
incapable through taxation to guar
antee any adequate fund to take care
of the widows of those who die for
us or for those dependent on the fire.
man when he is rendered incapable
of further work or service.
To some extent insurance can be
used, but even this form of protec-
ton has it's limitations. Pending
some state or national recognition
every village can we'll afford to as
sumo leadership and endorse a local
tiremen's day. The village authori-
ties undoubtedly would approve such
plan. Games could be arranged In
the afternoon. and at night mon
ster entertainment could be staged.
Suppose every person in the COM
munity were to pay one dollar for a
ticket, it would not take long to raise
a fund that would be practically
beneficial and that could be admins
tered by a selected committee of cit
liens in whom confidence rests and
whose interest in our brave laddies
is we'll known
Perhaps other and better ways of
raising such fund might be suggest
ed, Of course. The point for our folk
to consider is that something should
be done and done quickly.

PRINTER WAS PEEVED.

A printer in Fort Worth, Texas,
got slightly peeved at a letter from
doctor who wanted bids on several
thousand letterheads, different sizes,
different grades, and different colors,
and wanted the printing form held
standing. So he took his typewriter
in hand and. wrote:
cam in the market for bids for one
operation for appendicitis. One, two

ether-also with or without nurse.

are kept closely sealed, that house
cutters are kept clear. Sprinkle sus-
pected spots with kerosene, the CO.
operation of every citizen.
For measles DR.. Copeland's receipt
is even more simple Keep the pa
tient absolutely isolated for forty
eight hours. How easy it would be
for the government to lay down prac-
tical rules to destroy these evils and
to enlist the people in a united cam
paign to that end, asking in plainly
signed advertising under the sigma
ture of the President of the United
States, if necessary, the cooperation
of every citizen.
If the gentlemen, now so busy flirt-
ing for the vote, would press thor
ough legislation of this character,
perhaps they might stand better
chance than they will by rolling the
pork barrel.

Seattle, July 1.-THE dreadnought
Idaho is now in Puget Sound with
81 other ships of the Pacific Fleet
and the vessel, which is commanded
by Commandant Pringle, is receiv-
ing hundreds of visitors each day.
The Idaho is in the harbor with
the Tennessee, California, Pennsyl-
vania, the two tankers of the fleet,
the Vestal, repair ship, the Mercy
(the hospital ship Of the fleet) and a
division of destroyers, while at the
Tacoma harbor there are moored the
battleships New York and Texas.
The Pacific Fleet will be on Puget
Sound until early in September, and
the Idaho will remain after the bal
ance of the fleet goes on winter
cruise, for general overhauling at the
Puget Sound Navy Yard, II miles
from Seattle. Sailors from the Ida
no have been deliberately entertain
ed by the citizens of Seattle since
the arrival of the fleet, July 2, and
the Idaho gobs had an honor place in
the great Fourth or July demonstra-
ton here. Visitors are allowed to go
aboard ship each day, and one day
this week 5000 people went on the
Idaho alone.
Special visiting hours will be ar
ranged for the Idaho merchants who
come to Seattle to attend the Pacific
Northwest Merchants Convention
July oath to Goth, and the merchants
will also be entertained at an inspec-
ton and dance on one of the govern
ment's OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES passenger
ships running between Seattle and
the Orient. They will also be guests
at a performance of "The Wayfarer,"
a pageant enlisting the services of
5000 volunteer singers and actors. 1t
is produced in the stadium, which
seats 10000 people.
The Merchants Convention will oc-
cupy 10000 square feet of exhibit
space and will be the most complete
exposition of articles manufactured
and distributed by Pacific Northwest
firms ever held west of the Mississ-
ippi River.

VOTE SWAPPING
BECOMES A SCANDAL.

The accepted practice of swapping
votes in state legislatures has reach
ed pass where it is akin to national
scandal. The public interest is sac
rificed on the altar of county cupid
ity, though as a fact the home folks
in the long run pay dearly for their
supposed favored legislation. "You
vote for my bill and I'll vote for
yours" is the battle cry. "The pro-
visions of my bill will not affect your
territory, and nobody cares anyhow.
The custom, of course, is the out
growth of the Washington pork bar
rel scramble where favored noses are
so brazenly thrust into the national
money trough. There 1t is bad
enough, but when the practice is
brought more nearly home the effect
is demoralizing. Unprincipled legis-
lators are enabled to entrench them
selves in office so firmly that it soon
becomes next to impossible to up
root them. They always make good
for the home folks, and that is as
far as the vision goes. The rest, to
quote the melancholy Dane, is ST.
lence. The practice lowers the NOR
al fibre Of the people and legislatures
become simply distributing centers OF
graft and special favors, state bud
gets are swollen beyond all necessity
genuine expenditures do not count
nothing counts, indeed, but moves
that will keep the tawdry politician
in his legislative job.
