Two democratic editors were on
the fusion ticket in this county at
the recent election and both re
ceived the hearty endorsement OF
a large majority of the people Of
the county. 1t has now been sug-
gested that the republicans place
a couple of their editors in nomi-
nation next time just to see what
voters would do to them.

THE slogan of the republican
newspapers in Idaho is how to
beat Fred T. Dubois out of the
United States senatorship. AS
the fusiOnists have a majority Of
seven on joint ballot it is an easy
matter to conjecture how they ex-
pect republican managers to do
this; but the lavish use of money
will have less effect on the legisla-
ture than it had at the general
election, when $50, 900 of Mark
Hanna's corruption fund was
dumped into Idaho, We cannot
speak Of other counties, having 10
personal acquaintance with their
representatives, but we can say
that Kootenai will send four men,
bers to the legislature who, poor
as they are, all the money in Idaho
could not purchase them to betray
the interests Of the people who
elected them. They may be
weighed in the balance but they
will never be found wanting.

FORCE of habit is such a strong
thing that the Herald at Boomers
Ferry sneezes every time the fed
eral Office holders and their little
postofice organ here takes snuff.
When an idea is conceived by one
OF the faithful it first finds express
sion in the postoffice organ. The
week following the echo is heard
reverberating along the valley of
the kootenai. This is especially
true since the Herald man tied his
editorial string to the kite of
Mark Hanna. But second fiddlers
are always in demand and if the
patrons of the Herald have no OBJ
jections to reading second hand
matter others should not be con-
cerned about it.

The new law passed by the las,
Legislature allowing county officials
to give bonds in surety companies
will be taken advantage of by the
incoming officials Of this county.
This is good move and will be
approved by all good citizens of
county regardless of their party
affiliations. The law provides that
one half of the premium must be
paid by the official, the other half
by the county in all cases except
the treasurer, where the county
pays the full premium. There are
many arguments in favor Of bonds
IN surety companies and but few
against it. In the first place the
official is under no obligation to
any individual on account Of being
one OF his sureties. The influence
surety can exert over an official
is too we'll known in this county.
A striking example was made man.
ifest four years ago when republi-
cans unsolicited became the sure
ties of fusion sheriff and fusion
county commissioner. Another
strong point in favor of the surety
company is that they have travel

dent. This must necessarily OBJ
