WfiDXKSDAY, JAN. 27. 1909.
Congratulation.
For the pa.t seven years the
country has been presented with
the spectacle of n republican presi
dent wot king vigorously in bchatf
of the ptople and in behalf of good
government, and yet having to
pound and force every desired mid
badly needed law through a re
publican congress against the bitter
opposition of republican senators
and republican representatives. If
the people, having become tired of
this, occasionally elect a democrat
to congress, whose fault is it? And
if the democrat so elected is one
who states that he will support
Roosevelt measures, why should
there be any worry about hi elec
tion? And if the democrat so elect
ed is one who has made a .record
as a good and honest governor of a
great commonwealth, why should
there be such a hub-bub and hulla
baloo by a few machine republicans
because of his election?
Yes. Chamberlain, a democrat,
has been elected Uuited States sen
ator by a republican legislature of a
republican state. To the rank and
file of the people, that is uo cause
for worry. In fact, as it is looked
upon by these same people it is a
matter for congratulation. They
believe in George E. Chamberlain.
They had- watched his record as
governor and they believed he would
serve the people in the United
States senate. Hence, last June
they said by their votes that Cham
berlain should be the next senator.
That's the whole thing in a nut
shell. You may talk until you're
hoarse and figure until you're blind,
the fact still remains that a ma
jority of the people want Chamber
lain for senator.
Party ties hold men lightly these
days. The last seven ears have
opened the people's eyes to the fact
that the sort of congressman that is
wanted is not necessarily a republi
can or democrat, but rather an
honest, upright man who will work
for the good of the cpuntry as a
whole, who will work for the peo
ple as against lawless corporations,
and who can not be bought. The
fetish of party loyalty has lost its
charm. Of late there have been
too many Foraker, Depew, Piatt,
Aldrich, Ulkins, Bailey and Has
kell disclosures to make anyone
violently in love with his party.
The one great issue before the
American people today is the ques
tion of clean, honest living and
clean, honest government; the ques
tion of whether this government
shall be run for and by the people,
or for and by a lot of multi-millionaire,
resource-grabbing, law-defying
corporations. And a democrat
cun pass on these questions as well
and as ably as a republican.
So let's have done with all this
tommy rot about the state going to
the demnition bow-wows because
Chcmbcrlain, a democrat, has been
elected senator. There will be no
great cataclysm of nature as a re
sult of it, and peace and prosperity
will still reign in Oregon. The
Bulletin congratulates the people on
their political independence. Per
haps if they send a few more honest
democrats to congress and reduce
the majority of trust-tied republi
cans, they, will be able to get a few
law3 passed in behalf of the com
mon people.

Profit in Feeding Sheep on Irrigated Land.
by every farmer in this section. It
is an important subject. The au
thor mivs he has made fiotu $3,000
to $5,000 a year on a 1 Co-acre ranch
stocked with sheep, and the profit
was made in uu irrigated country.
It is said that it is possible to make
this profit when there is plenty of
pasturage. In time there should
be a great abundance of pasturage
in the bend country. The soil litre
needs to have humus put into it,
and one of the best ways to do that
is by planting fields of alfalfa and
clover and eventually plowing them
under. This method will undoubt
edly be followed extensively in this
sectiou and will afford much pas
ture and hay. Farmers should
plan ahead and figure out how best
to make their farms pay when that
condition exists. The article above
referred to gives some good pointers
in that line, and Mr. Mullen seems
to have solved the question by go
ing ito the sheep business. It
does not take a great amount of
capital and brings quick returns
Hence most farmers will be able
to engage in it, at least on a small
scale.
In out Issue of Deceinlwr ao, we
printed 11 letter bv I) 0 Mullen of
N urn pa, Idaho, telling how he hud
uiude niotiev by raising sheep on
Ins irrigated ranch. In this issue
we take up the publication of other
letters by Mr. Mullen on the same
subject, the letters having npciucd
111 the Hoiso Capital News. As con
ditions on the irrigated lauds of
Southern Idaho are so similar to
t'lose in the Hetid country, what
ever Mr Mullen says vill apply
with equal force to this section.
He says a man can make ftotn
53,000 to $5,000 a year 011 a 160
acre ranch stocked with sheep.
Read this letter and those that ate
to follow and learn how.
How disgusting and how rather
sickening a scene was presented by
those Statement No. 1 legislators
who cast their votes for Chamber
lain under protest. lucy were
anxious and ready enough to secure
the votes of the people and their
own election, by subscribing to the
Statement. Why then did they
not stand up like men and cast
their votes as they had promised to
without uttering a sickening whine
about it. Did they subscribe to
Statement No. 1 because they be
lieved 111 the principle that the peo
ple should have a voice in electing
their senators, or did they take the
pledge simply to secure their own
selfish elcctiou? It certainly looks
as though the latter reason was the
one involved. It they believed iu
the fundamental principle of the
Statement that the people should
rule they would not have mude
the sorry spectacle of thcni'elves
that they did when they cast their
votes under protest. They would
have stood up like men and backed
up their pledges to the people.
I ueir action in the legislature indi
cates that they signed the State
ment in order to secure their elec
tion and then when the anti-Statement
men got after them they easily
succumbed to the opposition's crafty
game and cast their votes as the
anti-Statement forces dictated un
der protest. How absolutely back
bone-less some moitals are.
Which is better for the country
to have a Roosevelt democrat in
the senate or an anti-Roosevelt,
trust-tied republican?

Range Versus Farm.
Iu his first letter to the Capital
News, Mr. Mullen contrasted con
ditions on the rauge'aud the farm
as follows:
I have read with great interest
the letters you published from Mr
Haltautync and Mr. Graudjean
about stock on the forest reserves.
Mr. Hallautyiie fears the govern
ment is trying to drive the sheep
men out of business iu Idaho. If
this is true let me put Mr. Uallau-
tyne onto a way to beat Uncle Sam.
Just buy a ranch and tuke your
sheep there. Get the agricultural
yearbook Mr. Graudjeau speaks of
and study it. Not only docs Ohio
raise millions of sheep, but every
other Eastern state has sheep, even
to little Rhode Island. After try
ing sheep on the farm right here in
Ada county for six years I can as
sure Mr. Iinllantytic he can make
from $3,000 to $5,000 a year on a
160-rauch stocked with sheep. If
that isn't enough income for him,
let him double or treble his ranches
and income likewise. Uncle Sam
will never object, and the people
can all see at last that the sheep
men are n benefit to the state.
Some people have doubted this
heretofore. It is very disagreeable
to go where you are not wanted, so
let us quit the forest reserves.
My experience is that sheep will
eat trees from six inches iu diame
ter down, and I believe every word
Mr. Grandjcan says about destroy
ing trees four or five years old, and
it is a dead sure thing they will kill
out the underbrush and therefore
destroy the main object of the for
est reserves, to hold snow and flood
waters. I have found a simple way
of keeping them from trees on the
ranch, but it would not be practical
in forest reserves.
The range sheepmen have looked
with contempt on the small fry
sheepmen 011 the farm, but I cau
show them from my account books
that every sheep iu Idaho can be
put ou the farms in the Twin Falls
tract when completed or on the
lands of the Uoise-Payettc project.
Southern Idaho farms can just as
well as not have 10,000,000 sheep
and not a single one ou the public
doui.iin or forest reserve. They
not only can lie but will be If the
newspapers that have the teal Inter
est of Idaho at heart will agitate
uud discus this question, It must
be worked up like any good thing
If Idaho farmers would only give
their hands a little rest uud read
and work their heads a little, you
couldn't find n "broke" farmer iu
the state.
It would not butt some of the
range shccptncti to rest their mouths
11 little and give their brains a show.
They tell us wc buvc ouly tried
sheep ou 0 small scale, and could
not make good ou n quarter sectiou.
That the farmer starts with pasture
enough but keeps adding sheep
without enlarging his pasture un
til none of them can do well, uud
finally starve to death. This Is the
way the range men have u?cd the
range and they nuturally think the
farmer don't know auy better. Per
soually I know of a number of
ratine men who cun not iigute a
stack of hay which they buy from
the farmer, and I just have assur
ance enough to think I can handle
1,000 sheep on a ranch as well as
such men can run from 5.000 to
jo, coo on the range.
Like any other business, success
conies to those who stick to it and
give it personal atteutiou. The
rangemen had better tkc tbe time
they are spending fighting forest re
serve questions to studying sheep
ou the ranch, and not pass It by
with a laugh and wave of the hand.
The blind can see that the range
men arc bring closed iu ou all sides
and it is only a question of time un
til they are driven to farm or aic
put out of business entirely.
The farmers, too, ou all the
enormous new lands have a prob
lem to study. What are they go
ing to do with it? Stock is their
only salvation and sheep take the
least capital and give quickest and
most profitable returns and is the
ouly product that canuot be over
done. What Idaho needs is more people
making a good thing and not a few
making a big pile, and the rancher
is satisfied with a square deal and
110 favors, forest reserve or other
wise. I am not politic as an expert,
only a common city-bred farmer,
and rav profits do not compare with
those of others that were given at
the farmers' institute at Nampa.
Still $3,000 qud over a year looks
good to me from 160 acres.
If the Capital News or anyone
else wauts exact figures aud facts,
I will be glad to give them or
would, talk this subject to any gath
ering of farmers who are interested.
Have an iutcimc interest in it
myself aud can sec that the more
that go iuto it the better for each
one. D. C. Mullkn.

UNLESS IT'S A GOOD
STORE IT WILL NOT
PAY to ADVERTISE IT!
UNI.USS you know a person uti!es that person conies
into your life iu some way you are not greatly con
cerned uhotit whether he is good or bad, desirable
or objectionable.
It's so with n store. The people who never visit it
care nothing ubout it one way or the other. It doesn't
cxUt for them. Hut when they ure twrsttaded to patron
ize it when they come to turn the spot-li(;ht of their at
tention 011 it when it comes to huvc a part iu their lives,
ns some stores must have iu all lives then it's dillcrciit;
then it DOKS matter whether it strives to win .confidence;
it docs matter whether or not its price concessions arc ncnu
itic, dependable.
If it meets nil tests that a good store must stand when
it Is advertised when it thus Invites the critical atteutiou
of people then ndvcrtisiiiK "makes" the store. If It fuiU
iu most of the vital things if It proves, under the light of
publicity, not to be much of a store, TIIKN ADVHRTIS
INQ WILL NOT l'AY-for it will emphasize short
comings as well as merits.
For these same reasons It Is generally
assumed that the store which docs not
advertise Is seeking to avoid close In
spection and comparison, and that the
store which does Is courting them.
