county seat should be removed to
Grangeville,
While we realize that a two-thirds
vote Is necessary to remove the county
seat, we also realize that under our laws
county seat election can not be held
or the proposition entertained for six
years. See Constitution State of Idaho.
Article XVII. Section 2:
SEC. 2. No county seat shall be re-
moved unless upon petition of a MAORI
ty of the qualified electors OF the conn
ty, and unless two-thirds of the qualih-
ed electors of the county. voting on the
proposition at general election, shall
| vote in favor of such removal. A prop
osition of removal of the county seat
| shall not be submitted in the same coun-
ty more than once in six years, except
as provided by existing laws. No per-
son shall vote at any county seat cleo
ton who has not resided in the county
six months and in the precinct ninety
days.
We believe that when the foregoing
section of the organic law of the state is
thoroughly understood, nine-tenths of
the people will see it is to their interest
to have the county seat at Grangeville,
because another election cannot posi-
bly, be had for the term of six years.
We will further address the electors
on this subject at later date.
With malice toward none and charity
for all, we subscribe ourselves,

Address to the Electors of Idaho County,

Address to the Electors of Idaho County.
To the People Of Idaho County:
The people of Grangevlle respectful
ly submit the following reasons why the
county seat should be moved from Mt
Idaho to Grangeville:
One-third of the total vote of Idaho
county is cast in Grangeville precinct,
and very large proportion of the re-
mainder find Grangevile the most con-
venient point for the transaction of bus
mess. Under present conditions more
than three fourths of the population of
the county have to pass through Grange
vile to get to the county seat. thus
greatly and unnecessarily increasing
taxation by adding to the cost of jurors
and witness fees.
Grangeville is the largest town of the
county, having the largest and most per-
manent buildings, is the center of COM
mercial and mining business, and has
more extensive hotel and restaurant ac-
commodations than any other town in
the county. All the practising attor-
neys of the county have found it to
their advantage and convenient to their
clients to locate in Grangeville. All
lines of business are represented, and
with the growth of the town great com.
petition will spring up.
The people of Grangeville will donate
to Idaho county suitable and ample
grounds for all county purposes, with
better court house than the one now
owned by the county, together with
brick Jail and fire proof brick vault for
the proper preservation Of the comfy
records. The money for this purpose
is already pledged by private subscrip-
ton, and bonds will be given in due
time to secure the county against ex-
pense.
Acting on the principle of the great
est good to the greatest number, the

The Homestead Case.

AT Homestead, Penn, is taking place
an event which is perhaps more i'm
portant than anything which will occur
in this country for years. A superficial
observer would say that it was strike,
because the Carnegie Company would
not pay certain wages to its employees.
1t is called by the harmless name
"strike," the inference intended being
that the men have simply stopped work
because the wages do not suit them, as
any man has perfect right to do, if he
gives a reasonable notice. The real
facts of the case, however, are that the
former workmen have organized into
strong secret society for the purpose of
forcing their employers to employ them
on their own conditions-namely, as
union men and at certain wages. If the
force used were moral and intellectual,
the plan would have something to be
said in its defence. Such is not the
case, however. Physical force was used
when the works of the company were
broken into and the Pinkerton watch
men were prevented from entering the
premises. Physical force was used
when non-union men were assaulted
and driven away. Physical force has
been threatened all the time since the
first of July, as the presence of sew
eral thousand soldiers and the fact that
the new non.union men were compelled
to remain behind the walls of the es-
Enlistment made plain. And now,
once more, physical force has been en-
ployed in its most diabolical form-a
clearinghouse in which forty or fifty
non-union men were sleeping having
been shattered by dynamite bomb,

early Friday morning. Such is the sit
uation. The former employees propose
to enforce their demands in what seems
to them the most effective way.
One would suppose, from what has
occurred, that the men must have been
exceedingly i'll paid at the time of the
beginning Of the trouble. Such
struggle surely should not be allowed
to take place over tri1es. Yet Rev. A.
E.. Winship, a well-known Massachu-
sets man, says: With reasonable
familiarity with the great industries of
our land, having had special oppor-
tunities for the study of steel plants, l
was amazed at the grandeur of this
plant. AT the time of the strike more
than three thousand men were at work,
and the paymaster said to me that for
some years there had been no man
on the payroll who received less
than 500 month, twenty-five days of
eight hours, and vast numbers re-
OOlNOu tIOlu RAOO w RiUO pOl LuOuIu'
Again, Mr.. Winship says: "Who are
the new men? One whom we con-
versed with has been for ten years
a practicing physician in Pitts
burg. He saw the salaries and
the light hours, and he decided. The
81 900 or $4,000 year, with no anxiety
and no establishment to run, was more
tempting than lifetime struggle in
his profession; and, with his trained
mind, in eight days he was master of
the situation. Another had studied
medicine; but he concluded that the
Carnegie works, which gave him all
his evenings with his family and large
assured salary, was more TO his liking
than pills and plasters. Very many of
the office clerks and book.keepers have
doubled their wages by exchanging dirt
for dickey." Statements like these will
compel many men to revise their
ideas of the condition of things at
Homestead and the issues involved.

Alfred TennysOn.

The poet laureate of England died
early Thursday morning. One of the
physicians present said his death was
the most glorious he had ever witnessed.
There was no artificial light in the
room; the beams of the moon, pouring in
through the window and falling upon the
face of the dying poet, gave all the light
that was needed. He was unable to
speak, but twice during the night he
smiled to those about him. The end
came so gradually and quietly that it
was difficult to tell the exact moment.
Lord Tennyson was the son of
clergyman of Lincoln, and was born on
August 4, 1909. He was educated at
Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1929
he received the chancellor's medal for
a poem on Timbuctoo "--certainly a
novel subject for poem. In the fol-
lowing year, while he was still an under
graduate, he put forth his first volume,
entitled Poems, Chiefly Lyrical" but
IL OlO nOb dlLldSb dLltnllOhs Al
1882 came another volume, containing
such poems as "The Miller's Daugh-
ter,"" The May Queen" and Lady
Clara We're de We're" The book was
severely criticised, but some of its
poems became popular. 1t was not
until 1912 that the next volume APP
peared. 1t contained Locksley Hall "
and a few of the poets best known
longer poems. From this time on
Tennyson's popularity increased, and it
has never waned. In 1850, the year in
which "In Memoriam appeared, and
also the year in which he was APP
pointed laureate, he married Miss EN-
lily Sellwood. His last composition of
Importance was the drama of " The
Foresters," presented for the first time
at New York last winter.
He was honored in many ways by
the nation which he had sung about for
sixty years. In 1884 he was raised to
the peerage with the title of Baron
Tennyson of Aldworth and Earring
ford. The crown also had conferred on
him a pension of e200 in addition to
his salary as laureate. The University
of Oxford gave him the degree of d.
G. L. in 1855. His body will rest in
Westminster Abbey.
The personality of the man was what
might be expected by reader of his
poems. He was reserved, thoughtful,
aristocratic, perhaps a trihe affected.
He did not give his friendship to many,
but it was greatly priced by those who
possessed it. Above all men, he hated
crowd and being lionized. In per-
sonal appearance he was one of the most
striking and impressive men of the
generation.
The quality of his poetry which has
been particularly observed is moral ele-
walton and strength, touched by noble
impulse, and expressed in diction of
the purest melody. Not poet of the
world and of the masses, he was a Brit
ish poet who spoke for the best and
highest sentiment and purpose of the
sea-girt isle.' He was consummate
artist. In fact, the culture of Great
Britain was we'll summed up in the
man for whom that people and their
children in America mourn to day.

Mrs. HARRISON is reported to be
much weaker than she was last week,
and it is said that her disease is making
rapid progress. Her death is thought
to be but a question of time, and that
not long. The president is with her
constantly. 1t is most unusual occur
renee that a presidents wife should be
at the point of death during great po-
litical campaign. The event doubtless
has its influence in making this cam
paign far more free from personalities,
and on higher plane, than any other of
recent years.

QUOTING the last words of Renan,
the French philosopher, who died a
few days ago, the Boston Record says:
"There could hardly be more explicit
contradiction of the bulk of the theo-
logical writings of this eminent man."
What Renan said was this: " Au re.
voir. We will see each other again in
some other place. 1 do not know in
what form, but l am sure we shall
meet again" What the Record finds
in this that is inconsistent with the
general skepticism of the man it is i'm
possible to see. Renan did not deny a
future state, in which souls will recog-
nize one another. Like Spencer, he
merely asserted that to him it was un.
movable. That he had hope that
there is something beyond, is not at all
irreconcilable with a skeptical atti-
tude. The latter was necessity of his
nature, which was scientific and mag
NATIVE alike--a rare combination.
