THE STATE PRESS.

IL is pitiable what fools many Amer
leans are. Teddy Roosevelt is stirring
some OF them with his war record. As
matter OF fact. Teddy was only in
ING army three months, and then
only engaged In one little skfrmish ana
some people accuse him OF wanting 10
quit that one. The whole Spanish war
did not last ninety days, and there
were not as many men killed and
wounded In the entire war on our side
as the Yankees lost at Piedmont In
this county, a battle which is scarcely
mentioned in the list of battles of our
CIVIL war. Spectator.
If the Americans are "enthusing''
over Teddy's war record to any appre-
ciable extent nobody as yet has OBJ
served 1t. Both Teddy and his record
are sure to get rumpled before this
business is through with.
Speaking of the fight in the Tenth
over the Democratic nomiation for
Congress and the resentment shown by
some Democrats at the result, the Cliff
ton Forge Review says;

VIII be ratified at Buena Bista on Au-
gust 1st."
The Review is right. There ought
not to be, anywhere. either indifference
or sulking on the part of Democrats
this year. And especially should Dem
ocrats be careful not to underestimate
the Importance of returning their Con-
gressmen this year
The Blackstone Courier gives its UNI
qualified approval to the plan to have
delegates at-large in the CONSTITUTIONS
al Convention. 1t says
The idea of having delcgates-at-
large Is truly a splendid idea-a lofty
ldeaf-and for our part we are willing
to submit TO the Inconvenience neces-
sary TO get them. There are several
men in the State. unidentified with ac-
tive politics to-day, who we desire to
see members of that convention. Men
who belong more to the State rs Il
whole than to any particular section or
division; men who the State would
like TO honor and whose services the
State needs and demands. We might
mention some OF these but they are
easily recognizable by all"
'The young women used to wear be-
coming and uncomfortable clothes and
looked so attractive and unhapuv. The

look twice as comfortable and lust as

JUST a SUGGESTION.

The action OF the Republican con.

members Of the board uf education.

cratic county committee to it'll the
vacancy IN the Democratic ticket
The lHDErEEDENT regrets that the
Republican convention did not
accept the olive branch rendered by
the Democratic convention and take
thehigh school out. OF politics. Had
theiproposition Of the Democratic con
vention been accepted by the Re-
publicans there would have been no
contest over the board Of education.
THIS would have resulted in the
election OF a board free from all com.
binations and cliques.
The ISDErESDENT unde stands that
some Of the delegates to the Republi-
can convention questioned the sin
cerity Of the Democratic convention
III nominating but one member uf the
board. They were doubtless. Sincesc
in their views, but their suspicious nf

FROM the North Fork country. where
they went Saturday evening in re
sponse to telephone message stat
ing that the bank robbers were in
that vicinity. They reached Sirs.
Johnson's place on North Fork Sun.
day morning about 6 o'clock. They
got breakfast, changed teams and
drove to Hugh Martins ranch. Here
they left their team and took saddle
horses and rode the country between
there and Mountain City. they met
several shecpherders and ranchers
during the day but none OF them had
heard or seen any thing OF the robbers
Being satisfied that the robbers had
taken different course and being
over forty hours behind !aem, the
Sheriff conclu led to return.
From Harvey Rutherford, we learn
that the robbers crossed the country
about three and hall miles west nf
the Rutherford ranch On North Fork
some time Friday night or Saturday
forenoon. Ell Kavuuaugh and posse
arrived at the ranch saturday night.
Sunday morning Kl"anuugh's poss,
and Harvey Rutherford started in prIr-
suit. They followed The trail about
live miles and lost it. Bands Of sheep
roaming through that section had ell.
tirely obliteratcd the tracks OF the
robbers. They spent The rest of the
day looking for the trail but were I'm.
able to lind it. They returned to Mr..
Ruthcrford's Sunday night. Monday
morning kavanaugh and posse left
for Mountain City and found the
trail and started i'll pursuit. They
got tn Gold Creek and were compel
led to stop to shoe their horses.
From the direction the robbers
were taking, sheriff Campbell be-
licves they are headed for noun
tam pass about fifteen miles north OF
Mardis. lie thinks the only chance
OF their capture is 10y posses from the
Idaho side.
In conversation with Kavanaugh.
over the telephone he told the sheriff
that he had enough men with him
and was not in need Of anything.
kavanaugh knows the country
thoroughly and will give the robbers
