STATE SHOULD PROVIDE HOME
FOR GOVERNOR.

Those members of the Legislature
who opposed making an appropriation
Of $1,000 to pay house rent for Govern
or Moore during his two-year term of
Office showed a mental calibre that is
anything but creditable. regardless of
the purpose that prompted their ac-
ton II they did it purely on the
ground Of economy. then it is evident
that their conception of economy
caused them to make a display Of par
simony that is more Objectionable
than going 10 the extreme of extrava-
gance or wastefulness. If they are
actnated by a spirit of retaliation to-
ward the governor. then their action
was even more reprehensible But
whatever the motive back of opposi-
ton to the appropriation, it was Who'll
ly unworthy of a member of the leg
islature, and is the best evidence that
those who joined in it can not rise
above petty thoughts and personal re-
sentiments and are therefore out OF
place in the legislature
The state of Idaho should build and |
own a home for the governor, a home
in keeping with the dignity Of the po-
sition. The salary of the governor of .
Idaho is only $4,000 per year Ac
eording to the bill making the appro-
priation for rent practically one
fourth of this sum is necessary to
pay rent each year for home suit
able for the chief executive Add TO
this the many expenses which the
governor must meet in the way of
entertaining contributions and in
countless appeals which must be met
by him personally and it is evident
that even with the rent paid, no man
can hold the position OF governor for
two years and come out ahead of the
game Most states have a governors
mansion" and as soon as Idaho gets
back on "A normal financial footing, the
legislature should make an appropri-
alton sufficient to acquire a site and
build a home for the governor of the

NO FIXED PRICE OF WHEAT THIS
YEAR.

Senator Gooding's bill TO fix the
price of wheat at $175 died with the
sixty seventh congress. The senator
seems more grieved over this failure
than the farmers themselves The
fact is. the farmers have never warm
ed up to this price fixing proposal
which seems to have been taken up
by Senator Gooding without sounding
out the sentiment among the farm
ers. Here and there commercial bod
les i'm farming sections have passed
resolutions favoring the Gooding bill.
hut it is significant that organizations
made up of farmers have either kept
silent or have condemned the bill This
is practically admitted by Senator
Gooding in discussing the failure of
the bin to pass. although in his opin-
ion the bin was the most important
measure" before congress. Advocat-
ing the zone big union" idea, the SEN
ator said the farmers will never get
amy relief from congress until they
are properly organized Continuing.
the senator said:
THE trouble is that they have
too many organizations. There
are four national farmers organ
cations in Washington that rarely
ever function together and in my
fight for the sterilization of the
price of wheat 1 have had very
little if any support from any of
them. The farmers greatest need
is one great parent organization
which ought TO be recognized and
supported by all the farmers or
carnations in the country. for
after ALL the interest of all farm
ers is identical"
If four national farmers organiza-
tions with representatives in Wash
ington did not support Senator Good
ing in his efforts to fix the price Of
wheat what reason is there to think
that one big organization representing
these separate organizations would I

NEWSPAPER PRIZE CONTESTS
EXPENSIVE LUXURIES

An encouraging indication of the
advancement of the newspaper pro-
fession in the country has been the
noticeable decrease on the part of the
publishers to be drawn into the form
er popular prize contests in which an
automobile or automobiles is held
out as a lure to the subscriber. While
many of the metropolitan papers still
cling to this antiquated form of SUBJ
scription campaigns, due to their de-
sire to secure sufficient increase III
advertising rates, the papers in the
smaller towns have discovered the
weak points of such method.
The Sentinel is free to admit that
in the past the oily arguments of the
promoter overcame the natural OBJ
jections of the publisher and that we
have been guilty of staging such con-
tests, but it is from the experience
gained that our comments are made.
: Prize contests bring no advantage
to the paper, the merchants or the
subscriber. The promoter who se-
cures his percentage, win, lose or
draw, is the only winner; not even

in the afternoon that he sought his
friend. and asked him if he did not
want to take a ride in the country
he was going out to see Peterson, a
sick patient. Glad to throw aside
the care and worry of business for
the remainder of the day, the editor
of the Herald was quick to accept the
invitation, thinking of the pleasant
ride and the joyful companionship he
would secure. Before starting the
doctor took the precaution to notify
his companions wife that he was
taking him out for ride and told her
to wonder not if he did not turn up
for supper. Then the journey conf
menced. Happy conversation as to
tariff, crops, populists, the strike and
other less important subjects, inter-
spersed with spicy anecdotes-such as
the doctor keeps in stock-made the
time speed swiftly, until the sun was
almost behind the western horizon.
Ten miles and more had been put be-
tween them and Sank Centre. 1t was
then that the editor asked his friend,
"Say, where does that man Peterson
live" and to his horror came the re-
ply "a few miles the other side of
Chippewa Falls" Then there was a
lull in the conversation. Hendryx
lost all intrest in the doctors funny
sayings, the beautiful scenery and
the balmy evening air. His thoughts
were far, far away, and their desti-
nation was-over 80 miles distant.
No teams enroute to Sank Centre
were encountered, and as it was hot
and dusty and the road billy and
stony the faber pusher did not want
to walk home. Doggedly he took his
o'clock. the next morning, Peterson's
house was found. Here a rest of
few hours was taken, the weary trav-
-elers stretching their aching limbs on
some quilts in a small garnet, and
vainly strove to sleep, while fighting
mosquitoes and like insects, innumer-
able, and hopping off PRECIPITATION.
The break of day saw the editor ready
for home, but the doctor wanted
breakfast, Notwithstanding the fact
that the team was harnessed and his
companion impatient The doctor
had his wish and when the sun had
risen sufficiently high to make trav-
cling very unpleasant the home
journey commenced, and at 400
o'clock in the afternoon Sank Centre
was seen in the distance. Of course
the doctor has been busy since re-
turning in telling of the discomforts

ON TAKING A LICKING"

1t is up to Minnesota Re-
publicans to get together or get
licked next year., says the st.
Cloud Journal-Press..
"And this statement is made
the basis for well-reasoned plea
for a determined effort to select
candidates who will have the con-
fidence OF the public, who will
represent the majority of the
party, and who will not be-self-
nominated.
Cali of which is good sense,
but there is a more important
aim than just avoiding a lick
ing.'
"a worse fate could befall
the Republican party in Mime
sofa, or in the nation, than to
take licking. The worse fate
would be to fall into the hands
of leaders who are afraid to take
a licking.
Republicans of Minnesota
shouldn't fear licking as much
as they should fear the sacrifice
of principles to avoid licking.
The best way to get licking is
to become terror stricken at the
prospect of it to the extent of
forgetting everything the Re-
publican party should stand for.
And it's no hardship to take a
licking if you are fighting for
something worth fighting for"
The above is from the Duluth
News-Tribune. We agree with
the sentiment that it is much
better to go down to defeat
while battling for the right-but
when party is right is there
any sense in permitting self
seeking candidates to wreck it?
