PRAY AND REFLECT.

BEFORE another issue of he HER
AID reaches its readers, the great
political campaign of 1896 will have
been decided and the verdict of the
American people rendered. 1t has
been gigantic struggle, the like of
which has not been equaled since
1860 when the immortal Lincoln
led the common people to victory
and overthrow the monopoly of
black slavery. The contest this
year is in many respects similar to
that great struggle in which Lin
coin was the hero. The question
then was black slavery-to day it
is white slavery. Our leader now as
then springs from the common peo-
PIE. In a few months William
J. Bryan has brought order and dis
cipline out of chaos and confusion
and he is now marching against
the hell-scarred plutocrats with the
grandest army the world ever saw.
The result in Idaho is a foregone
conclusion. Bryan will carry the
state by vote of something better
than 5 to l. The presidential cleo
ton is settled so far as Idaho is
concerned.
But upon the people of Idaho
rests a responsibility greater than
that ofany other state in the Union,
according to its size. Defeated in
the national contest, the enemy has
malshalled all its strength to en-
compass the defeat of Fred T. Du-
bois, who stood shoulder to shoulder
with the noble Teller of Colorado
and fought for his constituents, and
gave them a chance to vote for Sill
YER The follower of Bryan can
not vote against Dubois and be con-
sistent. Dubois is one of the halt
dozen that made Bryan what he is
the probable next president of the
United States.
Voters, tell politicians they must
stand aside This is no partisan
affair. Go to the polls and show
your mettle, and your gratitude
and vote the ticket that stands for
the reelection of Senator Dubois
That ticket is the legislative
ticket that stands at the head OF
this column, Donnelly, for state
senator, and Gray, Sisson and Keat
for representatives,.
Bryan, Dubois and Silver, not
one but ALL" that is the watch cry
of every silver man in Idaho.

DEMOCRATS have a choice of unit
ing with either populists or silver
republicans. They will generally
prefer to unite with the silver re-
publicans, we believe. By so doing
they will be following the instruc-
tons of the National Democratic
committee, and at the same time
be supporting their Silver Cham

The bicycle path from the Anglers Inn to
Great Falls is still the subject OF discussion
among wheelmen-
During the preparations for the great
bicycle pa radc Tuesday evening il was tcni-
porarily lost sigh; OF butnot forgotten. Now
that the agony is all over time can tie given
To this rev venture.
Everybody seems to be in favor OF trying
To build it. 4 representative Of this paper
has been interviewing leading clubmen
whenever he could see them, and but one
oat OF the number seemed opposed to it.
He thought the money could lie used to
better advantage in taking out privilege
tickets at the race track. The Times does
not see why both could not be done.
The advantages OF the bicycle path can
readily be appreciated by riders who go TO
the Great Falls. When gentlemen escort
their lady friends as far as the Anglers Inn
they find the restof the run too hard for the
ladies'. Theladies are OF course enthusiastic
over the affair and hope that it will he
built. They can see great pleasure ahead
If it is done.
The beauties OF the new path are known
to but few. Those few, though, are so
enthusiastic that their word must be taken.
1t is the unanimous opinion of these gentle
men that the two miles OF bicycle path
would be the most beautiful two miles
ride in the United States. Nowhere else
in this country can scenery be found to
equal it.
Many suggestions are being made as TO
how themoDey should be raised. The Times
had hoped to he able to make definite
statement about it today, but the parade
has kept back the expressions on the subject.
AS before stated, The Times stands ready
to start subscription list and push the
matter as il did the parade. There are
10000 riders in the city, and twenty-five
cents from each rider would build the road.
viii each rider give twenty-five cents? VIII
10. 900 riders give dollar each?
:: If subscription list is opened every
man will have to form himself into com
nttee of one to solicit subscriptions. He
will have to can the attention of every
friend of lis to the subject and urge on
him the necessity of taking an active part.
1t is only by work OF this kind that the
fund can be raised
i: A number of club officials have been
seen and they a re wide awake to the PROPOSE
ton Nearly every club memberin the city
would come to the front with his dollar
at once But the unattached would have
to be reached, and there is where the trouble
would comeiD The matter will be brought
up at the prize presentation at TIE Times
Building tomorrow evening. An expression
of opinion will be called for then and on
that opinion may rest the future OF tie
bicycle path.
