ARE YOU READY


just as we were preparing to write
homily on the dangers and dissen-
sions of county politics, we found
our ideas exactly elucidated in the
Malad Enterprise.
This county is about to plunge into
one of the hottest political campaigns
ever known to her history. There
will be strife and contention and even
bitterness. Men will be worked up
to a pitch OF excitement that is en-
tirely new to them. Are you in the
proper frame of mind to enter the
contest? Can you define the differ
ence between politics and PERSONAL
ties? Can you withstand the most
stubborn opposition without becom-
ing permanently embittered and ac-
rimonious? In other words, are you
politician enough to oppose and be
opposed without letting your feelings
get the upper hand and run you to
personal hatreds and jealousies2 Are
you broad enough to allow others the
same liberties of thought and action
that you yourself claim? If you are
not so constituted, take our advice
and keep out of it. You are not
fitted to enter such a struggle. A
man who cannot enter political
campaign as be would a game of solo
or chess, has no business in politics
and had better shut himself up in the
privacy and seclusion of everyday
matters. A man who is miffed and
pouted because other men see fit TO
view things differently from what he
does should eschew politics as he
values his earthly happiness. Men
who are men will follow their own
judgment and inclinations regardless
of friend or foe, and this freedom
and independence is the browning
glory Of American politics and Amer
lean citizenship The more literally
it is exercised the more honor and
safety there is in any locality. You
should never expect to contine your
friends to your policy and it is the
height of folly to fret because they
do not agree with you. 1t is their
privilege and If they do not use il
they lack manhood, and but very
little dependence can be placed in
them. 1t is not right to expect that
because man is your friend, he
should boost you into Office. He has

THEY DIE WHOOPING.

What gives courage to the anar-
chist in the shadow of doom? A
few days ago in Paris, Santo, the
young and handsome anarchist who
murdered the president Of France,
calmly received his sentence Of
"death by the guillotineF' and as
calmly folded his arms and replied,
dong live the social revolutionl"
Several have asked the question,
What gives all this courage to anar-
chists?
In this country, in France, in Rus
STA, and elsewhere, they die crying,
"Long live anarchy and glorying
in their crimes. What is the secret
Of this remarkable manifestation on
the threshold of doom?
To all except christians and anar-
chists, death is an everlastingly
dreamlcss spell of cold feet and
darkness, followed in the ages to
come by rude awakening to some
sort of dread punishment, or some
sort of reward equally well calculated
to excite apprehension. But to the
christian death is a dreamless waiting
for glory, while to the anarchist it is
a rapid rushing to n glorious reward
for duty performed bloodily and
''right up to the handle. " To the
anarchist, death is II hand, an I'M
comfortably cold one no doubt, but a
hand leading him to triumph in some
fair realm beyond the blue beneath
which waves his banner of blood. So
he whoops, yells and shouts, "Long
live anarchy as he passes out of
mundane existence.
The principle is that death has no
terror for the criminal, to whom death
seems to unfold promise of reward
for his crime.

MAKE NO MORE MILLIONAIRBs.

The fight the San Francisco Exam
iner is making against an extension
of time by the government to the
Pacific railroads is noble one. The
Examiner is not and never has been
regarded as a champion of the peo-
pies rights except when the cham
pion business pays, and now it pays
to demand that the debts due the
government from these railroads be
paid at once The fact that we have
given the railroads too much time is
the hook upon which we hang dead
loads of grievance. 1t was our own
fault we confess, for we had the
power to place good men in authority
over the railroad lobby, and we failed
to do it.

Some time ago the SIGNAL pub
lished set of resolutions adopted by
the peoples party club of Council.
The populists Of that place can have
the satisfaction of knowing that they
have attracted more attention to
themselves than any club in the state.
All the papers have been commenting
in different degrees and styles on
their resolutions since they appeared
in the SIGNAL. The following is
from the Malad enterprise:
'The populists of Council valley,
Idaho, met and drafted set of reso-
lutions that are unique. Here is a
portion of the last resolve and it
clearly defines their position:
Whilst we recognize the art of dancing
as one Of the greatest accomplishment Of
U. 5. senators, and one that enables them
to keep time with the measured steps of
Washington bellies, we think it one that
should be acquired in the earlier educa-
ton, and no man should aspire for the po-
sition until he becomes master of the art.
This is indeed Il remarkable reso-
luton and we commend it to the
populists of Oneida county. 1t is a
resolve that speaks we'll for the third
party men of Council valley and goes
to show that they are well informed
of the movements of Idaho senators.
1t will no doubt surprise many voter
in this state to learn that U. S. sena-
tors indulge in an occasional trip of
the light fantastic, and the sensitive
feeling of the populists generally will
be shocked when they comprehend
that Senator Dubois has sufficient
command over his pedal extremities
to fit through the dreamy waltz with
out break. 1t can easily be seen
now why the senator was so anxious
to promulgate the senatorial scheme
at the coming convention. He is de-
sirous of maintaining his seat in the
senate in order to master all the in
tricate 6ips of the terpslchorean art.
Senator Shoup, too, although he has
passed the age of frivolity, would,
without doubt, enjoy old Dan
Tucker or The Girl | left Behind
Me with selected belle of Wash
ington society. tits perfectly dread
full to think that in the face of such
a resolution, ldaho's senators should
continue to patronize resorts where
dancing is the feature of the occas-
ion. A vice so degrading as this, our
senators should keep aloof from and
endeevor to evade the tempting
glances of bewitching maids who
would lead them from grace. The
Enterprise is in full sympathy with
the populists of Council valley and
would be in favor of hdving the leg
islature enact law prohibiting all
state officials from dancing or drink
ing whisky

soever he may choose and you have
no earthly right to find fault with
him for exercising the same freedom
of thought that you yourself claim.
If you must ride in the band wagon
you should do your OWE climbing.
Finally, if you cannot stand the de-
termined opposition of your friends
and the rebuff of political enemies
you had best keep out of politics.
One thing always keep in mind, you
have got no mortgage on your per-
sonal friends and if they see fit to
throw you overheard you cannot con-
scientiously kick. The battle will
