With three days set especially aside tor features of the intermountain fair io be held in this city next month and several other days which will be de signated for Boise, Canyon, Elmore, Ada and other counties, as well as "Baby Day" the coming fair of the Inter-Mountain Fair association will be larger and better than ever and will assume more the appearance of a state fair than it ever has before. Secretary Gibson states that the prospects at the present time never looked brighter and that indications point to the fact that there will be more people in attendance this year than last. Derby Day. The first of the three big days is to be known as "Derby Day," when the great race of the entire meet will be pulled off. A large purse Is offered the winner and many of the fastest horses in the northwest will be en tered. The race committee has made arrangements to hold their meet dur ing the six days of the fair and four days afterwards, making a 10-days meet in all. Entries are now being made for this event and many of the horses and time breakers that will ap pear at Portland, Seattle, Spokane and Walla Walla, will try for purses in this city during the fair and the four following days. "Oregon Day" will be the next of the three big days set aside for the tair and at this time many eastern Oregon people from Ontario, Vale, Baker City, Pendleton and other places will be in attendance. Secre tary Gibson states that he has been in correspondence and working hand in hand with the Ontario Commercial club, with the result that that city will put forth every effort to make "Ore gon Day" a howling success. Grand Parade. The third day falls on Thursday and is to be known as "Odd Fellows Day." At this time the grand lodge of that order will be In session in this city and it is expected that between 400 and 500 Odd Fellows will be In attend ance. The local orders will combine with the fair association management to see that the guests are properly entertained and shown the time of their lives. On Wednesday evening before "Odd Fellows Day" the Imper al Order of Muskovltes, a branch or der of the Odd Fellows, will give a big parade In the city with at least 400 members In attendance. They will en deavor to entertain the populace with their costumes and various portrayals of characters true to their order. It is expected that this will be a grand spectacle. County Days. The counties named above are to be especially honored with days dur. ing the big fair and every effort will be made to influence the residents of these counties to be in Boise at that time. have been obtained on all of the rail roads which means that the fare to Boise from any point within a reason able distance will come within the reach of all. The various counties are planning on exhibits at the fair and It Is expected that this feature alone Special transportation rates will be an attraction. It will be on a larger scale than ever before. Fair Advertised. Secretary Gibson stated today that he has opened his campaign of ad vertising and publicity for the fair and that many of the newspapers of the state are carrying "ads" as well as writing up the big six and ten-days event. Special rates were given by the papers in the state to the fair management, making it possible to carry more advertising. The advertis ing of the fair through bill posting has been cut down this year, the manage ment believing that it pays to address the public through the newspapers. Considerable advertising is being done through the medium of bill boards, however, and the display matter for this arrived recently and is being put in place. is a ers ly IT HURTS THEM. It is interesting to observe the fenzy of righteous indignation which some of the Democratic newspapers of the country profess to feel over the action of the president in throwing the great weight of his personality into the pres idential campaign. Among these is the Boise Capital News. In a double col umn editorial headed, "Roosevelt Com mon Politician," it declares he has laid aside the dignified robes of his of fice and descended into "dirty" poli tics. It scolds at him as those only scold who find their party given a fa tal blow by some commanding person age, able and willing to strike hard whenever necessity may arise for such action. But scolding at the president can not set aside the truths he proclaims, nor can it prevent these from taking a deep hold upon the minds of the peo ple. Those who indulge in frantic scolding only weaken their own case. They disclose the measure of the dam age done their cause by the utterances of the president. Those hurt always cry out in some manner, excepting in rare cases, and that is as true in poli tics as it is in any situation in life. That is what is hurting the Democrats and leads to such fulminations as that indulged in by the Boise paper. In stead of raving at the president, such papers should return devout thanks that we have an executive who is ready to take a bold and righteous stand for the people on the great ques tions that are now before them. Theodore Roosevelt was needed in this country; that has been amply demonstrated in the past few years. He came to the front at a time it was essential that some man with the con science and the courage and determin ation to accomplish results should step forward and take the giant com binations by the throat. He did that in the name of and for the welfare of the people of the country. He is just as earnest in that cause today as he ever was In the past and he knows that It is essential to it that William H. Taft be elected president. He does not hesitate to discharge his duty to the people whom he has so well served by casting the weight of his Influence in favor of the candidate who he knows will carry n the great work he has begun and prosecute It to a con clusion that will be lastingly bene ficial to all the people of the country. The Democrats cannot cork him up In a bottle when he feels that there of on ed ed he on is work for him to do in connection with the great cause which bears his name. When he found the trail of the Standard Oil serpent leading into the Democratic headquarters, he felt it was his duty to speak to the public on the subject. Instead of echoing the lugubriations of the Democratic lead ers and papers, the masses give forth a shout of rejoicing over this renewed evidence of Theodore Roosevelt's de votion to the principles he has es poused, and his assurances that Wil liam H. Taft is as loyal as himself on these great questions and on all oth ers affecting the welfare of the nation, cause them to return thanksgiving be cause of his fearlessness and truthful ness in speaking his mind to them so freely. It hurts those Democrats who desire success at any cost, but fhe people, in spired by his utterances, are march ing forward in confidence that the great statesman chosen by the Repub licans of the country to continue Roosevelt's work, will be triumphant ly elected.—Morning Post, Sept. 29. SKETCH OF SENATOR WELDON B. HEYBURN. Weldon Brinton Heyburn, senior United States senator from Idaho, and the Republican nominee for re-elec tion to that office, has been a resident of the state since 1883. He settled per manently in the Ceour d' Alene mining district in the early part of 1884, and early rose to prominence in political life, soon becoming one of the fore most figures in the young common wealth. He is a native of Delaware county, Pa., and was born May 23, 1852, com ing from sturdy English Quaker stock on both sides of his family. After re ceiving a liberal academic education, including complete courses in civil and mining engineering, metallurgy and other scientific branches. He studied law and was admitted to practice be fore the courts of Pennsylvania in June, 1876, and was afterward admit ted to the supreme courts of the west ern and northwestern states, the Unit ed States district and circuit courts and the supreme court of the United States. For over 30 years he has been extensively engaged in the practice of law, largely connected with mining litigation, but his practice has cover ed every branch of the profession and he has met with conspicuous success. Senator Heyburn was elected a member of the .constitutional conven tion of 1889, which framed the consti tution of the state of Idaho, and parti tlcipated actively in all of Its delibera tions, serving as chairman of the com mittee on the judiciary, as well as on other important committees. Although not a candidate for the of fice, he was nominated for congress on the Republican ticket In 1898, but was defeated on account of the free silver disaffection at that time. He was a delegate to the Republican national conventions of 1888, 1893, 1900 and 1904, and served as national commit teeman for Idaho from 1904 to 1908. In 1906 he was elected to the United States senate, receiving all of the Re publican votes In the législature. Up on entering the senate he was made chairman of the committee on manu factures, which had charge at the pare food legislation la the senate, and dls tingulshed himself by the magnificent fight he made for the passage of the pure food bill which is now a national statute. During this fight he demon strated that he was one of the ablest debaters in the upper house of the na tional legislature, and since that time has mantained his reputation on many an occasion. BRADY IN THE NORTH. James H. Brady, the Republican can didate for governor, is making a great campaign in north Idaho. He is preaching the gospel of honest citi zenship and good government, and he is creating a splendid impression. The Republican candidate does not pretend to be an orator. He is a business man. and a plain man—one of the people. He has experienced the hard knocks of the world in his efforts to make a living and his sympathies are all on the side of the masses. As a broad gauged business man, though, he en courages the investment of capital in his state. He says to it, "Come, and if you do right you will have the pro tection of the state if I shall be placed at the head of affairs; if you do wrong, you may expect to suffer for it." He says to the laboring man, "We want capital, but we must have the men to do the work. We want them well paid and we will protect them in their em ployment, but they must obey the law." Rich and poor alike must obey it. As a citizen he stands for those things that are lofty and inspiring. He wants good government and is advo cating a direct primary as one of the best means of securing it. He is talk ing those things over with the peo ple. They have confidence in him and in his words and they propose to make him Idaho's next governor.— Boise Statesman, Oct. 7. TRANSMISSIPPI CONGRESS.
