SOME papers Of the State have done
Lieutenant Governor Vic Bierbower an
injustice. They charged that he was
so eager for the title, and held his
head 30 high, after it was conferred on
him, that for months he saw nothing
beneath gibbous moon. The charge
has not been sustained.
Idaho has been without governor
for many days, Governor Mcconnell
being out Of the State, and 1t was the
opportunity of Mr.. BORROWERS life TO
take possession OF the executive Office
and subscribe himself ''acting gov
ernor." The press reporter would have
