LOCAL HARMONIES,

Coming in from every County in
the State is the news of harmonious
County Republican Conventions.
In no single instanc has there been
any serious ,discord reported in the
formation of the County tickets.
This is a very different condition of
affairs from that existing in the
opposition parties. It was feared for
sometime that in Latah there would
be trouble among the Republicans,
but the Convention passed off salts
factori1y to all classes and the ticket
will receive the united and enthusi-
astic supporter the Republicans of
that County. 1t had been rumored
that there was factional bitterness
in Oneida, butt seems to have been
the vaporing of few individuals
who wanted to serve notice ON the
people that if they could not run
things to suit themselves they would
make trouble. The Convention,
however, took notice ofthese threats
and complainings, but went on har-
moniously, put up a good ticket,
and the party will unanimously sup
port il. From no other County
comes note of discord and the in
dications now are that in every
County the Republicans will be
working together as one man.

WOMEN TO THE FRONT.

Z . 1 : Il - + .5 +.
Considering that women have
only had the franchise some four or
five years their strides in political
progress in..this State are rather re-
markable. In the first election a
woman candidate was something Of

Kootenai County: Why the wotn<
en- there are overlooked we are t1n-
able to say definitely, but it is
rumored that the men are SO pros
porous that the ladies have nothing
to do but attend to social functions
and they enjoy these offices SO much
more than political offices that they
cannot be induced. to go upon the
ticket. There is, however, so far,
an absence of ladies on the legisla-
tive tickets and this we believe is
fortunate. A legislative body in
the present state of male civilization
is not altogether a suitable place for
a woman In a century from now
when mans manners have been
toned down, or brushed up, to the
condition that will make them, in
aggregations, desirable society for
refined andiutelligent women it will
be ali rightto have women placed
OH the legislative ticket, but until
that time we think that women had
better devote themselves to exc
'cutive offices. ,~s J..
Judging from the character of
the nominations on the Republican
tickets, they were not placed there
simply because they were women,
or to cater to the woman vote, but
because they have shown them
selves, by their past lives, the most
competent and available material at
the command Of the various county
conventions. This is the ground
upon which all nominations should
be made. Women are now mems
equals and not their superiors, so
they should not receive superior
considerations and be nominated to
public offices simply because of a
chivalric feeling. -.
