SHOULD PAY DEBT

on old friend. Aaron f. Parker,
of Grangeville, this week announces
his candidacy for treasurer of Idaho
county. Regardless with which party
Mr.. Parker affiliates, the people OF
this county owe to elect him to any
office to which he might aspire.
There have been few things worth
while in Idaho; and none in Idaho
county where he couldn't be found at,
or near the head, always battling for
progress and activity, spending his
own time, money and mentality, re-
gardless of the monetary returns TO
him.
Idaho owes him much, and Idaho
county and his home town of Grange
vile. owe him more than he will ev-
er ask. or they will be able to pay.
The above facts concerning MT.
Parker appeared in the last issue or
the Ferdinand Enterprise and we
agree with the editor Of that paper,
commencing with the first word and
ending with the last. Indeed Idaho
county owes him a debt which they
are going to pay this fall and the
voters of Cottonwood are going to
help O. k. the ''bill" by large ma
jority.
If the effort of lifetime, spent SO
unselfishly for Idaho county and
Camas prairie are worth anything,
vote for Mr.. Parker. It's the first
public office he has ever asked for.
Let him know that it was appreciat-
ed while he is yet able to enjoy the
gratitude of his friends.-Cottonwood

H. F. SAMUELS
|SPEAKSAT THE
COURT HOUSE
Next Possible Governor Of
Idaho Gives Address In
Grangeville, Tuesday Eve.

About one hundred voters gathered
at the district court room at the
Court house Tuesday evening to listen
to II. f. Samuels, progressive candi-
date for Governor of Idaho. The
speaker was introduced by Jas D.
Lyttle, progressive candidate for state
senator.
Mr. Samuels, who is an earnest, but
not a flowery speaker, used chart
to Illustrate his points as he progress
ed in his talk. After stating that ths
progressive party were in accord with
the teaching and policies of Thomas
jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, he
launched into an attack on the Fed
eral Reserve System, which, he claims
has robbed the farmers of the United
States of thirty five billion dollars In
the last four years.
The Esch- -Cummins bill also got a
share of criticism, and was held up
as a special privilege law.
In discussing the state issue, Mr..
Samuels stands squarely on guar
antee bank law, altho he did not out
line his plan of making it work.
able law. In his address he stated
that he "had rather not be elected
governor of Idaho than to be elected
and not have legislature to back
him up.
While several questions were asked
the speaker at the end of his address,
everything was good natured and no
heckling or acrimony was introduced
into the meeting, and everyone went
away glad that they had attended and
listened to the> ideas bought out by
the next possible governor of Idaho.

TWO FIRES BURNING
IN THE FOREST

At least two forest fires are burn
ing at the lower South Fork country
of the Nezperce Forest on which it
has been necessary to place fire
fighting crews. 1t is expected that
these fires will be controlled in the
next day or two. 1t is very unusual
for fires to require crews at this
season of the year and merely goes
to show how dry the woods still are.
The probability of the origin of these
fires were caused by hunters who
threw away cigarette or who left
their camp fire.
Forest Supervisor HURT states that
unless hunters exercise great care
with smoking and with their camp
fires in the woods, that it may be
necessary to have certain portions of
the forest closed to any form Of use
including hunting, until more mois-
ture falls.

their everlasting arms. What fel.

The Grangeville Troop of Boy
Scouts is beginning to receive rec
ognition and support from the Com
mercial Club of the city, which means
that the boys may anticipate Some
very lively Scout activities.
Starting from early last winter the
troop has developed from a member
ship of seven to a present member
ship of twenty-seven with waiting
list of six aspirants waiting 10 De
received into the patrol.
The Scout organization is the
greastest organization for boys in the
world. 1t is the boys lodge and in
it. when properly directed, the mem
ber takes great pride and puts forth
much effort to become worthy of his
position.
Fifty-seven different countries,
within whose boundaries live ninety
one percent of the population of the
world, have Boy Scout organiza-
tions. If all the Scouts of these
countries were to march in close for
nation in one review, it would take
eight days of twelve hours each for
them to pass a given spot.
The Boy Scouts of America have
thirty-twO thousand scout-masters
and assistant scoutmasters and the
need for more is increasing. Thous-
ands of boys are in the waiting line
wanting to become Scouts, wanting
leadership which will make Of them
real, live, red-blooded, right-hearted
citizens of tomorrow.
The Scout organization is non-sec-
tartan as to religion, but it upholds
a high moral standard. In the first
place the doors to the Scout Han
are locked to the tough and hard
boiled element. In the second place
the scoutmaster has the power to
throw a member out of the organi-
zation for indecent conduct-but this
last mentioned power seldom has to
be exercised.
What the Grangeville Troop needs
now and in the future is the In
fluence which the business can throw
into the plans and programs of the
local organization. The boys like to
be honored with the interest of sue
cessful men. Lets all do our best to
give the best boys organization in
the world real opportunity in

ing to Antonio R. Barcelo, chairman
of the Porto Rican delegation to the

seeking dependence is untrue and un

to have the right to select their own
governor. The commission is composed
Of representatives of all three Of the

government, but none Of them are ask
ing for independence, he stated. The
people of Porto Rica do not desire to
sever their connection with the United

their form of association they desire
to remain within the United States,
whose freedom and opportunities they
have, and in whose future progress
and prosperity they desire to share.

Following this statement he was

whether 1 would seek to block EFFORTS
to have Jack Dempsey meet Harry
Wills or Wills meet Luis Firpo. All L

fullest loyalty to the constitution OF N

specifically declare that there shan De
no discrimination because OF race COZ
or or creed in any way, and that being
the case. how can the commission draw
- color line against Wills meeting
Dempsey if they find a satisfactory pro
moter. Negro boxers of lesser reputa-
ton than Wills are engaging with
white boxers in New York State, anu
the bouts have raised little objection.
There could be no interdict against
Wills merely because of his color.
Brewer doesn't believe that pubic
