Capper Lines Up With Coolidge

It is evident that campaign is
about to be launched by the big
dailies of the country to convince the
mass of people that everybody is for
Coolidge. Already there are rumors
being circulated to the effect that
Coolidge's popularity is growing
especially in the Western States.
This wave Of popularity that is
threatening to overwhelm the Presi-
dent is attributed to the great inn
preston that the Presidents mes
sage has made on the farmers.
The dullest fifth grade school ex-
pert can refute this ridiculous con-
tention with very little effort. The
fact of the matter is that certain
gentlemen of the Senate and House
who have arrogated to themselves
the unwarranted and unwarrantable
right to speak for the farming mas
ses ara lining up with Coolidge as
was to be expected. Gentlemen of
the type Of Senator Capper the mill
lionaire newspaper-farmer from Kan
sas and few weakened midwest
ern Senators are the only farming
masses rallying to Coolidge's sup
port.
1t is an open secret in Washington
that Senator Capper is very likely
going to be the reactionaries' choice
as Coolidge's running mate in No
vember. Appropos of this, the fol-
lowing report of the leading New
York papers is very instructive. The
facts as cited show precisely where
Capper stands and who he is. SEN
ator Capper has abandoned support Of
bill which was advocated by grow
ers of wool, farmers and agricultural
organizations and opposed by wooden
manufacturers. Instead he espoused
one introduced by Senator Lodge.

ing from an editorial in the Sem
ator's paper: 'TThe Topeka Capital. .:
"There is nothing in sight now to
prevent the nomination Of Coolidge.
lie is strong and growing stronger,
and his support is peculiar in not
being factional or sectional. It is
general among all elements Of the
party and all sections of the coun-
try. 1t is no stronger anywhere
than it is today in Kansas"
Needless to say the big mass of
farmers who are having the DEVILS
own time making their most limited
ends meet will not take Capper
seriously again. Capper and his tribe
have betrayed the farmers too often.
There comes a time when even a
Senator is known by his deeds as
well as his words. That time has al
ready come for Capper in the eyes
of the overwhelming majority of
the working farmers.

Safe America

We are glad, indeed, that we live in coun-
try where life and property are sacred and not
in some other country where anarchy reigns
We are reminded of this boon by some re-
marks of Chicago municipal judge who has
been releasing traffic violators on their own
signature to bond rather than force motorists
to at all times carry 800 on their persons.
1t is absurd to think these persons desired to
violate any law in taking advantage Of this
ruling, said the judge.
They have merely acted prudently, be-
cause ones life is not safe who is suspected
of having 500 in his pockets."
The Judge knows his Chicago--a typical
American city, whose bible is that great ex-
ponent Of law and order-ths Chicago

Beck, U. S. Solicitor, Looks Backward

Speaking at the Hamilton Club,
Chicago, with one exception perhaps
the richest and most reactionary
clique in America, James M. Beck,
solicitor general of the United
States, mournfully sighed for the
good old days" And his audience,
composed almost exclusively of
those who already have their swag,
sighed with him. "The times are
moving too fast" was the burden
of his lament.
"We are moving with express
train rapidity. It is a world Of
acceleration. Shakespeare with a
hand press could do more good to-
day than a string of rotary presses

What representative and responsive form
of government we are blessed with! In any
other country in the world with a so-called
democratic form of government, The Teapot

would have been the order of the day and the
administration would have been forced to
form new cabinet or call an election.

sss,ooo WORTH OF BEANS.

| That's what Turner Brothers, the
trio of progressive young farmers op
Grating on a large scale southwest OF
Nezperce, stand to harvest this fall
They are preparing to put in $50 acres
of beans, on what would otherwise be
summer-fallow wheat land, and 500
pounds to the acre is considered fair
bean yield, and five cents a pound a
fair bean price. Figure it out for your
self.
They are getting, through the Nez-
perce Rochdale Co., a ear load of spec
ial machinery planters, cultivators
and side-delivery rakes-to handle the
crop.
They win also summer-fallaw anoth-
er hundred acres with corn and peas
so acres of each. The corn they will
use for feed and the peas they win use
mainly for seeding a large acreage
next year. Last year they put in so
acres of corn and 200 acres of beans,
as an experiment. It was a very sue
cessful try. The corn made good
yield, and the beans, which were thin
ly planted, yielded 500 pounds to the
acre. The crops were carefully cult
waited and after they were harvested
the ground was clean as pin and in
fine shape for wheat. Then the corn
fodder and the bean straw furnished
the best of forage.
Others in the Nezperce district have
been successfully experimenting in
these summer-fallow crops, and still
others have been watching the process
with interest. AS result, the farmers
generally hereabouts will plant a large
acreage this year to beans, peas and
corn. Already orders have been made
by one local group for 10000 pounds
of seed peas--the hand-picked, fumi
gated quality; besides the large
amount of native grown seed that will
be used.

Some 200 delegates, representing the
w. o. w. camps of the ten northern
counties in Idaho, will attend the an
nual district convention of Woodmen
of the World to be held in Nezperce
on Wednesday, May 7.
The local camp took up the matter
of preparation for this convention at
its meeting last night, when many
neighbors were out and good spirit
of enthusiasm was much in evidence.
Committees for the preliminary ar
rangements were appointed and the
necessary machinery set in motion to
insure the proper entertainment of the
big gathering. The delegates will be
representative citizens from their var
ious communities, and it behooves us
to be prepared to show them the best
our town and country have got. IF
we do this, they will be glad they
came. The time of this convention is
not far distant.

NEzpERoE s,os2 ABOVE SEA.

The question is often asked as to
the elevation of Nezperce above sea
level This point is considerably low
er than much of the balance of the
Nez Perce and Camas Prairie plateau,
and on that account its surrounding
territory is better adapted to diversi-
fled farm crops. The Central and
Russell ridge sections are still several
hundred feet lower, and there corn
and beans do even better than in this
immediate vicinity.
AS a matter of general information
we give the following elevations of
various points in this and other Sec
tions of Idaho. These are figures
from the government records:
Boise, 2739 feet; Occur d'Alene

FENN DISTRICT VOTES HIGH
WAY BONDS.

The Fem highway district in Ida
no county on last Saturday voted a
bond issue of $4,000 toward the con-
struction of its link of the North 6
South highway. The matter of bond
ing that district for this highway con-
struction has been under debate for
the past two years, and interest was
very keen in the result of Saturday 3
election as the large vote cast shows,
there being 104 for and 33 against
the bonds. This bond issue will make
available $4,000 of federal road funds
and $4,000 of state funds, and insures
the construction of this lone missing
link in the north and south highway
from Boise to Lewiston. The compile
ton of this road between Cottonwood
and Grangeville win now be pushed as
rapidly as possible.
