North Idaho TO Ran y'hiugs.D

1t would appear modest for Northern
Idaho to let the question of the future
state capital to the selection of these
in orested.-N. z. Times.
The above quotation, Including the
caption, is the modest suggestion Of the
Times to the people Of North Idaho to
keep silent on the question Of state
capital, and let Washington territory
alone make the selection. and yet it
says: "Northern Idaho, which we are
also laady to welcome into our fold of
statehood"
If We are to become part Of the
new state, what portion of the state OF
equal area and population is more Gin
teresfed' than the three counties OF
Northern Idaho? / would appear from
the Times that il expected US to suffer
Washington territory alone to make q
constitution, adopt it, arrange all the
preliminary legislation for the new state
aud then expect US to come into its fold
to help support the government which
we had no part in establishing. Would
not that be modest expectation on the
part of the people Of Washington? A
few spirits in the constitutional conven.
ton tried that game with us. After
they had established the boundaries OF
the new state, including. our people
they then tried to prevent our people
from having the privilege of voting
upon the instrument. But that card
could not win, aud the Times is oqual,
as silly in its attempt at this late period
to muzzle either the press or the paoplt
upon any question affecting the leeisla
ton of the new state. So Mr.. Times
don't chafe in the collar. We are no
vassals. We know our rights and dar,
maintain them.
