Knoxville Express; An exchange
says that the town of Keota hasn't
had a divorce case in ten years. That
is rather remarkable in this day Of
rapid divorce laws, but Keota is
rather a remarkable town. II has

surprised to find electric lights,
water works, fair opera house, and
q good hotel heated by q furnace.
Keota is the best little town around

The Reason is Plain

Some one has been asking why
the democratic rarty IL always
"denoupcing' and viewing with
apprehension" and never once
pointing with pride" The ques
ton is answered by the Owyhee
Avalanche in the following terse
review Of democratic platform his
tory:
"A review of the past platforms of the
democratic party will reveal the fact tina
the party Is short on promises fulfilled
and long on false prophesies. 1t declared
that the war was failure; ii wasn't. L
declared that free trade would bring pros
perity; II didn't. II said that the golt
standard would cause panic; il didn't
II promised to reduce taxation; it didn't
1t promised to benefit the laboriny man
II didn't. Having failed in all its prom
ises, It now comes up with new stool
declared to be better than the old ant
asks for endorsement.

The democrats anti everything
republican. They have not re-
solved anti-prosperity in any plat.
form declaration yet, but it is only
a matter OF logical generalization
to make this a democratic issue.
A bit of history and retrospective
observation makes anti-prosperity
decidedly democratic. To be ex-
plicit and brief, would it not be
logical for the democrats to pro-
claim general anti prosperity and
be practically comprehensive.

The development of electricity as
an industrial adjunct brings new
credit to the natural assets of the
Lewiston district. There is a
greater aggregate of water power
in this district than in any other
whole state in the United States.
We have half a dozen rivers dis
tributed over this district thar are
continuous water falls for miles
down the mountain slopes. This
water power in years TO come will
drive the wheels of traffic and in.
dustry with inexpensive, mex.
haustible and perpetual power,
Our products will be transported
to commercial centers and on,
factories will be run by this inner.
ent power. We have power
enough in the Lewiston district to
run all the wheels Of commerce In
