THE recent death Of the unfortunate
Viscountess Kingsland ended a life OF
strange vicissitudes. She was married
in 1919 to Viscount Kingsland. the
needed representative Of an old title.
AT his death she fell into the greatest
poverty, and occupied a small room 10
the back street OF Lambeth. with
hardly any furniture. By making
shirts at cents apiece she managed
to earn from 50 to IS cents week.
For nearly twenty years she continued
her employment of shirtmaking, re.
ceiving occasionally outdoor relief
from the parish. When she was 7g
she applied to the Universal Benefcent
society for aid. The committee imme.
diately made her an allowance of g. Sc
per week, and eventually secured for
her gift of $500 from the royal bounty
fund. Afterward a special subscrip.
tion was raised and government pen.

A Salt Lake View,

The Salt Lake Times overlooking
Idaho, expresses the following opin.
ion of the situation: "Viewing the
field at this distance, the Times is
of the opinion that the republicans
of Idaho will make a great mistake
if they go back on Delegate Dubois,
who in the fight for Idaho's admis-
sion made an excellent record. AS
one of the United States Senators
from Idaho Mr.. Dubois would do
honor to the new state. The dem.
ocrats, however, are making a very
vigorous fight, and while it is pos
sible for them to win it is hardly
probable. Under the circumstan-
ces the republicans cannot afford
to have any dissensions in their
ranks, but as there are several SEN
atorial aspirants, the prospects are
that there will be some bitter fac
tional fights which will seriously
affect the chances of the republi-
cans. The political situation in
Idaho is certainly becoming very
interesting, and is being watched
with much interest by politicians
all over the country"

The Republican Convention Of
: Alturas County.

The slate went through the repub
lican county convention straight
and the mutterings of the coming
storm were heard all along the line
during the past two days. The
Dubois interest in Alturas was tri
umphant, and is now jubilant; the
other faction went home enraged
and revengeful. We shall see the
outcome in the near future. When
ever a convention supposed to rep
resent the whole party dominates
all of its candidates by acclama-
ton, there is something "rotten in
Denmark" Men do not go to con-
ventions for the purpose of being
silently laid upon the altar, and
laughed at. They carry home their
bruises and remember the whirligig
of time.
There was a powerful element in
the republican party of this county
that left Ketchum yesterday dis
gusted with the result. 1t was evi.
dent enough from the start that the
scheme had been planned, and it
was energetically executed. That
was clear to the outsiders. The
managers are entitled to credit by
their side of the house for the skill
and determination they manifested.
Whether they showed as much dis
erection as courage remains to be
seen. The element they trampled
upon is restful and unforgetful, and
will surely cause disturbance that
will make matters unhappy in the
family. The delegates are for Shoup
and Dubois, but the people are not
neither is the heart of the repub-
lican party Of Alturas. The slate
was written, and bold, able men
had to fall down before it; men
who have fought the republican
fight in this county for many years.
Their protests amounted to moth
ing; their feelings, ambitions, were
as worthless as the winds. They
have gone home swearing venge-
ance. The bread and butter brigade
was too much for their strength.
Federal officials held the strings
and strangled them-held them up
to defeat and ridicule. The legis-
lative ticket is for Shoup and Du-
they are elected-which
is not likely ever to occur.

HE Statesman is of the opinion
that 1.-The republicans are entering
upon the fiercest political campaign
that will ever be known in the his
tory of Idaho. Hence it behooves
the party to put forward only men
whose personal popularity and rec
ord shall command universal re-
spect and unite all factions in one
united pull for the ticket from now
until election day."
Probably after the conventions
are over the Statesman will inform
its readers that there are only about
four democrats in Idaho. In the
midst of the present connection,
however, it expresses fact that is
likely to be realized.

THE Boise Sun faction got away
with its fight against Dubois, and
then expressed the following SEN
timent:
"The republicans of Idaho were
we'll satisfied with Mr.. Dubois
course as delegate. Had he desired
reelection as representative we
don't think there would have been
any opposition; but when you in
sist that he SHALL be a senator
and press federal patronage, more
or less, into that service-you
awaken conflicting interests, chal-
lenge differences Of opinion and are
fighting on much weaker line than
the line of party success. This
lesson, also, may be gathered from
the result of Saturday, and may
not be too promptly considered by
the managers of the republican
party of Idaho"

The Normal Price of Silver,

The Financial and Mining Record
of August 9th, contains an inter.
esting article under the title OF
The Normal Price of Silver-$1 %
per ounce" 1t announces that the
Department is prepared to admin
lister the new silver law on and after
August 18th, and that four and one
half million ounces will be bought
every month, without reservation,
and that the full market price will
be paid for the amount, whatever
that may be, provided only that it
falls within the limit set by the
terms of the law.
Mr.. Edward O. Leech, director of
the mint, being asked:
SIS there any apprehension of a
failure of the law when it comes
to the redemption Of these silver
notes in gold coin?" he reminds
his questioner that the United States
notes to be issued in payment for
silver purchases are to be full legal
tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate, customs dues included, and
answers further: "The notes issued
will have basis satisfactory,
probably, to the mass of the peo-
pie, and doubt whether there
will be any demand worth men,
tioning for redemption in gold. l
may say this, however, that the
Secretary will meet every demand
for gold as long as he has a dol
lars worth left that he can use for
that purpose. If the supply runs
dry he will resort to means pro-
vided by law to replenish his stock,
or appeal to Congress for further
legislation"
The Record expresses the opin-
ion that there will be abundant use
for all the silver obtainable in the
full employment awaiting the notes
which shall issue and circulate as
money. 1t adds!
''We shall even confess ourselves
surprised, indeed, if our Treasury
may constantly be able to procure
its full quota of four and one-half
million ounces monthly, at the pre-
scribed limit of price; and the
Treasury notes emitted be found
sufficient for our already vast and
eVer-expapding domestic trade"

SHOTGUN Law.

The following from the Salt Lake
Tribune is very suggestive of the
methods to be used in the near
future in this state. 1t is rule OF
ruin:
Erred Dubois is all right" said
a prominent Idaho man yesterday
to a Tribune reporter. ''He and
Governor Shoup are ordained by
fate to be Idaho's first Senators"
eyes, but how about the threats
of Israel that they will vote, or as
certain by shotgun analysis why
they are debarred?"
"They won't do anything of the
kind. They dare not. If they are
spelling for fight, we have four
good companies of militia and
United States troops at two posts
upon whom we can rely; and if that
is not enough Forts Russell and
Douglas are not far away. No, the
day has passed when the Latter-Day
Saints dare show their teeth to the
Government. Moreover, the Re-
turning Board will throw out every
precinct in which the Mormons
manage to stuff the ballot-boxes.
Then the Supervisors of Election
are appointed by the District Courts.
So, taking it all around, l don't be-
lieve we will have any trouble with
the long-lost children of Israel"
"How will the Legislature stand?"
"Fully two-thirds Republican.
Dubois and Shoup will be the Sen
ators and Sweet the Congressman
without fail"
