Politics and Cash.

OF all the evils OF public life
money is the mighty monster
that carries the day. When it
speaks the house and galleries
are always crowded. The
mighty question Of to-day is,
WILL 1T PAY? II is very gener-
ally conceded that on average
| il costs more to be elected to
the United States Senate than
the salary of the entire term.
Let it not be forgotten that
men who go into politics in this
sort Of business way go into 1T
to make it pay. The politician
simply says to himself in a busi-
ness like way, if / have to buy
the people l shall certainly sell
them in order to get my money
back. Fearfully lacking in
principle is that man who sells
his vote for any consideration.
There is an old saying that
every man has his price, but
the fellow who sells out for So
900 is not one whit better than
the fellow who sells out for 10
cts, only the first named is do
ing business on a larger scale.
We talk about the corruption
of notifies and what does it
mean? Nothing more or less
than the corruption Of the peo-
pie. The honest poor man who
aspires to a high Office is emily,
dreaming. Now, W. do not
mean that there are 10 honest
men in Office by any n cans but
we do mean to say That in a
contest between an honest poor
man and a dishonest one with
the cash to spend thai the poor
man will find himself fearfully
in the arrears when the votes
are counted.
Self-interest is at a premium
when interests are .eckoned.
Bribery is not often oien hand
ed. There are indirect ways of
reaching a mans pocket. Many
q man who would scern the idea
of selling his vote for 80 much
cash down, lets self-interest in
fiuence his ballot and it is brib-
cry after all. :
Money is a mighty power
that gilds a multitude of sins.
1t brings homage to many a viii
Ian worse than the biggest
thief unhung. And yet not
even the good man can despise
it; for without it he is powerless
/ to do anything.
After all in the sob = refec--
tion of mans best moments
money weighs very little in the
balance of life. Into the wild
race we rush for the golden
prize and miss many of the
brightest and best things of life
to find at last that the golden
bauble is but a misery we leave
behind. Life's truest and best
success is not always found out
| in this world, and life's truest
heroes seldom see their laurels
this side of the grave. But the
world on and from a merely
human standpoint it often
seems that life Is nothing but
a desperate battle for the AL
mighty Dollar and in no shape
does it stand as a greater evil
than its corrupt influence in
high places.

SMALL industries are what
Durham wants and what she
should exert the utmost energy
to establish. OF course large
industries are acceptable and
should be encouraged, but it is
little things that make great
things. and nothing assures the
prosperity of a city more than
diversified industries.

Last Friday the Durham Sun
celebrated another anniversary
and began its 7th half yearly
volume-and entered upon the
fourth year Of its existence.
Here's our -Sa Shine on, shine
on. 1t says:
We cannot say that the past
year was a very prosperous one
in journalism, but by hard work
and rigid economy we managed
to steer our little craft clear OF
breakers, and as the present
outlook is much more encour-
aging than at this time last
year it enters upon this volume
with colors flying and with the
confident hope Of smoother sail
ing through this years voyage.
While we haven't made money
in stacks, we alse haven't made
any debts. That's saying q
great deal. We have made some
improvements in the appearance
Of the paper. We shall spend
all we can make in this direction
and, if possible, make the Sun a
more fitting exponent Of Dur
hams vim, progress and adj
vancement. The Sun is run up
on and within its income. As
long as this is the case we are
safe. When that increases, and
our people display a liyelier in
terest in papers, we shall spread
out. We are endeayoring to do
our part. VIII you do yours ?
1t is our purpose, If we are
spared and have health, to
eventually make the Sun the
best daily in the State, with
press kilograms. Gut we must
first work up to this point and
it = enly a question Of time and
the patronage our town will ac-
cord US. We have put in three
years of pretty steady hard
work for Durham-and have
furnished you a paper just as
good as the patronage will JUS
tify. 0fcourse il the patronage
given US was larger there would
be improvements in every de-
partment.
We only ask Of Durham that
support commensurate with the
merits Of the SuN. We simply
call your attention to a few
thoughts relative to why you
should have mora town pride
and accord the SUN that hber-
ality of patronage which will

the town, increase its news ser.

The Rathdrum Ring is at its old an
ties. The democratic convention nom
mated Cash Cole and John Donahoe
for representatives. Cash Cole re,
signed, leaving Donahoe the nominee
for representative, it having been de-
cided to run only one candidate. Now
the central committee steps in, over
rides the work of the convention, puts
Donahoe's name on the ticket for Joint
representative. not the Office for which
he was nominated did it without his
consent or knowledge, and put on the
ticket that Mine Owners tool ana per
seeutor of the laboring man, Albert

Ring on Another Charge.

The vacillating policy that is being
pursued by the managers of the demo-
cratic eircus. in regard to their lesisla-
tive ticket, is calculated to weaken the
confidence OF the democrats who adhere
to that party from principle, rather
than love OF victory regardless OF the
manner in which il is obtained. In the
first place the democrats of Koo.enai
county held convention and among
other things nominated c. NJ. Cole, OF
Harrison and John Donahoe, OF Bon
ner's Ferry, for representatives. After
the nominations were made the three
state central committees decided that
members OF the legislature should be
| nominated in accordance with the con-
stitptisnsl apportionment instead OF
that made BY the legislature. This gave
koosenai county but one representative
and one joint representative with Latah
county, thus making a change in the
legislative ticket necessary. The change
was effected by the republicans without
trouble; but not so with the democrats
The ring that runs the machine go,
their heads together and placed Mr..
Cole on the ticket as joint representa-
tive, an empty honor and the cause OF
all the trouble, as the strong republican
majority in Latah caunty makes the
election OF a deEeerat slmost impossible.
Mr.. Cole positively declined the honor
and another ring conference was neces-
sary. This conference resulted in Mr..
