Peculiar Position.

The Moscow Mirror wastes a
ball of good logic in trying to
show that there is a weakness in
the Kansas statute because the
state cannot restrain a lot, as it
says, "of crazy women from de-
stroying saloon property" Perhaps
the Mirror can indicate just the
kind of legislation that would be
required to protect property that
is being used in an illegitimate
manner, in Kansas or any other
state. The Saloon is an illegiti-
mate business in Kansas. and those
who engage in it are violators OF
law, and, it would be just as rea-
sonable to talk about protection Of
the property Of any other violator;
of law used wholly in their illega
transactions. In our opinion Mrs
Nation is making a mistake, bu
to uphold the Kansas saloon is t,
uphold lawlessness and disorder
and that entirely outside Of tn
question of the saloon business, o
temperance and iniemperance.

"F. A. Hinst says correspond

whether his shoulder would have
been made sound again by jump

Same Old Story.

Mr.. A. J. Shultz representing
the Colorado Gold mining Co. of
Detroit Mich, arrived in the city
this morning and is the guest of
Mr.. Ed. Leaf. Mr.. Schultz and his
company are t he possessors Of a
new gold saving devise which, they
claim, will save the fine gold of
the Snake river. and it is their in
tention to begin at once the erec-
ton Of dredge somewhere near
below Blackfoot on the Snake river.
The Colorado Gold Mining com
pany has plenty of capital at its
back and their gold saving machi-
mes are now in practical use on
several of the gold bearing streams
in the United States and Mexico.
A series of experiments conduct
ed last summer convinced Mr.
Schultz that his machine is capa-
ble of saving the fine gold of the
Srake river,--Poceiellc Tribune.

TIE Way it Was Done.

The Nampa Leader says that
the Commissioners awarded the
county printing and then opened
the bids and put them on file.
It is also stated that the Leader
put in a bid that was one-third
lower than that of the Tribune.
If these are facts every tax pay
er in the county ought to know all
about them and then if they want
to 90 down into their pockets and
pay political debts in hard cash, it
is their privilege, as this is q free
country. The spoils system how
ever, as it is understood in politi-
cal circles today seems to he tc
take all there is in sight, whether
one has any use for the stuff ol
not take it anyhow; neither car
any one party lay claim to pre-em
inence in this matter as they al
act Just alike. 1t may be alrigh
when it is thoroughly understood
but it is not the way people trans

exposition was dedicated formally

who planned this great enterprise re-

began with parade in which there
were men from nearly every country

aerial bombardment from flying
bombs and brilliant electrical illu-
mination. Between the two were the
formal exercises of the dedication.
with oratory that took its theme
from the lesson of the time, prayer
for right, music, song and poetry.
The procession that formed at the
main thoroughfares to the exposition
grounds was an interesting spectacle,
and thousands of people lined the
route. Vice President Roosevelt was
the guest of honor and when he
reached the hall the parade was
started with volley of aerial bombs
From the shores of the Pacific Pres
