Mr.. w. E. Borah.

Mr.. WE. Borah has written letter.
. letter defining his position on fusion
OF parties and a letter which practically
leaves him without party for the next
campaign.
In the state campaign when Mr..
Borah was q candidate for Congress
Governor Mcconnell, in a speech at
Blackfoot, speaking Of Mr.. Borah, said:
He is bright and successful young
lawyer but poor politician, and he had
better stick to his law and let politics
alone" Some people may agree with
Governor Mcconnell.
The press of the state, generally and
irrespective Of party, is copying and
commenting on the letter, but, in reality,
there is little tdan can be said about 1t.
There Is nothing In it to boast Of by
either party. II he has left the fusion
party of Democrats, Silver Republicans
and Populists he has not gone to the
Republicans. If the one party lost him
the other party has not caught him.
The wisest OF all men once said: sob,
that mine enemy might write book, -"
and some of Mr.. Borah's political oppo-
nents may say: "We are glad Borab
writes letters"
The NEWS regrets that the brillian,
young man has placed himself In the
anomalous position OF being without a
party for active work. If he attempts
70 maintain his position he will be as
one hiding his talent under bushel
and surely he is too patriotic to do that
Mr.. Borah's letter was loaded, but like
t4e Irishman's gun, it shot strong.
er behind than before, and Mr.. Borah
WAS the man behind the gun.

Our Prophecy.

The appointment Of Captain Frank A.
Fem, of Co. Fl, First Idaho volunteers,
by Governor Steunenberg to be major
of the regiment makes him the logical
candidate of the Republican party for
next governor of the state. THE NEWS
makes the prophecy that he will be the
candidate.
Major Fem served his country well
in the Philippines. He was always at
his post OF duty, ready and willing to
execute every command, and the boys
will bear testimony to his galantry on
the field of battle. THE NEWS differs
with Major Fem in politics, but it
would not be honorable and just, If it
should fail to say what it knows to be
true, namely: That Major Fem was
brave officer and gentleman every
day OF his army life--from the time OF
leaving his home at Boise to the return
to his native land from foreign battle
field. The Republicans could not name
better man.

Governor steunenberg did the proper
thing at san Francisco 10 promoting
Major d. w. Higgins 70 bc Lieutenant
Colonel OF the First Idaho volunteers.
Major Higgins vas in command OF the
regiment from the time that Col. Jones
was invalided home, through the mem
orable cam paign OF Santa Ana, Caloocan
to its return last week to San Francisco.
The record that Lieut.. Col. Higgins
made will put To shame those who Sian.
dered him at home while he was facing
the enemy's bullets at the front In the
Philippines. The officers and men OF
the regiment rejoice at the promotion
because they know it was won by faith
tul and gallant services.

Democrats to Meet.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. Gov. Stone
today called a meeting OF the sub-eom-
mittees of the Democratic National
committee for September 18th and 18th
at the Auditorium hotel, at Chicago.
The committees in question are the
executive, composed of eleven members;
the ways and means, composed OF seven
members; and the press committee,
composed OF five members.
So far as party work is concerned
this will be the most important meeting
of the year.
1t Is expected that the meeting Of
these committees will draw a great
many Democrats OF note to Chicago,
for it is the intention that plans shall
be formed for pushing the campaign OF
1900 from the latter part OF the month
until the time the Democratic National
convention meets and new committee
is selected.

The Rest Paid.

An astute person said the other day:
mo man ever got rich with his coat
off," That may not be literally true,
but it expresses an idea which has truth
in it. The man who makes much money
usually makes it with his coat on--that
is with his head. A man who is paid
huge salary is paid for what he
knows. He is paid for his judgment,
for his ideas, for his suggestiveness, for
his ability to choose wisely between
several courses. for his foresight, his
knowledge of men and his administra-
tive ability, and for his intimate knowl-
edge of the conditions and details of
some business, or of business in general.
which makes all of his powers, natural
and acquired, applicable to some spec
ial line Of money-making.
Men who are paid prodigious sums
are paid as rule not for working pro-
digiously hard; for hard work is COM
paratively cheap. The best paid men
rarely overwork themselves; their
hours of work in a day are few. These
facts carry with them an important les
son, and THE NEWS makes mention of
them at this particular season OF school
opening that they may catch the eye of
the honest, studious scholar whose am
bition leads him to make himself a
man among men, a success in life along
with those who win the greatest success.

A Splendid Record.

The Idaho regiment left San Fran
cisco In June, 1893, with splendid rec
ord, and It returned last week with its
good name untarnished and its colors
without q splash or blemish of dishon-
Or. The boys have been welcomed to
their native country with all the honors
and distinctions Of conquering heroes.
When they reach their homes they
will be dopbly hopored; they will be
given additional expressions Of joy and
gladness at their return, and they will
be given q welcome that will gladden
their hearts as they have never been
Rladdened before. They deserve all OF
this good treatment, and THE NEWS
trusts that on their return to their
homes they will quit themselves like
men and will hold the respect and
esteem OF their fellow-men as private
citizens which they now hold as brave
yoldiers.

Truth u The Whale Natter.

The administration newspapers gen
orally are charging anti expansionists
and anti-imperialists with being allies
Of Aguinaldo and Of encouraging him
In his warfare for independence. They
grayely and seriously add: "But for
the encouragement Aguinaldo and his
followers get from anti-expansionists
in America they would have given up
their arms saa ceased fighting months
ago"
There are no good grounds for these
charges. Aguinaldo takes but little
comfort from American news except
what he gets from American soldiers on
the islands. 1.-The gets any real comfort
1t all from anti-expansionists It is from
soldier undergraduates who are on
the opposite side of the breastworks
from him.
Now the conditions there are these:
The Filipinoes mingle daily with Amer
Jean soldiers. They walk the streets of
Manila, Malate and other towns togeth-
err. They visit one another 10 camps
and homes; and the Filipino knows of
The anxiety Of the American troops to
to return home. They know tina. the
volunteers are all gladly returning and
that the regulars are as anxious to re-
turn as the volunteers have been. They
know what the American soldiers think
OF the islands and of the influence OF
the malarial climate on the SOL
diers. By daily association and inter-
minglings the Filipinoes gather all the
information they want about the Amer
lean army, its strength, its fighting
men, its sickness in camp and in hos
pital, and of the views and wishes of
the American soldiers touching the
war and Of holding the islands. Every
thing Is reported to Aguinaldo, and
these things taken together with the
expressions of joy and delight at re-
turning, from the volunteers, and the
anxious desire of the regulars to return
give him all the encouragement needed
10 prOlopg the war. No, 1t is not news
from America that encourages Agui-
naldo but 1t Is what he can see and
hear over the breastworks that gives
him faith in his ultimate success.

That Victory.

That Democratic victory last week In
the eighth congressional district of
Missouri WAS famous victory. It was
clear-cut Democratic triumph.
The issues were clearly defined for
and against the present administration
with its money, trust and expansion
policies and the ants won by a large
majority. For 8 congressional contest
in an off-year the struggle was great and
the result will be far reaching.

building and to select site for the
permanent or central school building.
A fine brick structure would have
been considered had the trustees
thought there was time enough in
which to hold an election on tho
question OF bonding the district and
build it before winter. 1t will be
put up next summer, and will cost
$6, 900.
1t was decided to engage two more
teachers to take charge of the work
in the new building as soon as COM
pleted.
The trustees made good move,
as the teachers have been unable to
do good work because of the crowded
condition of the school rooms,
the pupils in some OF the depart
ments only having the privilege OF
halliday sessions, and their action
will meet the hearty approval of all
who have an interest in the welfare
Of the school.
On recommendation of Mr.. Fores-
man, music and drawing will be in
troduced in the school, and the trus-
tees have ordered books and charts
for that purpose A wise move, for
no school is fulfilling its mission
unless these are included in its cur
riculum of studies.
