WARS FOR HUMANITY.

Some time in the last hundred
years people may recall the fact that
the United States of America en-
gagged in a war presumably for hui
mainly. Weyler in oppressed Cuba,
was assembling the women and chill
dren and all non-com batants in cor
rails and holding them as hostages
under conditions revolving to human
ity. The response by the people to
the call for troops, was unanimous,
as 1t has always been characteristic
of American generosity to respond to
the call of an oppressed people for
aid. But time does not change
principles. And since that remote
age of the Cuban war, another people.

their way for two hundred
years through the wild beasts
ana wilder men of Africa.
are assailed for mercenary
purposes by the power of England.
The same methods are being prac-
tlced. Under the direction of Lord
Kitchener, the British Commander
In Chief, the women and children
are dragged from their homes and
herded like animals in places pro-
vlded, and placed on limited rations
under guard of British soldiers
something more might be said also.
VI course the difference between a
poor devil of a Cuban and a poor
devil OF a Boer, can be readily un-
derstood, but the difference in the
ideas of humanity, that made war
on Spain and endorses England is
pretty hard for an ordinary intellect
to comprehend.

MUST HAVE THE ROAD.

The immediate passage of Repre-
sentative Moore's Little Salmon WAC
on road bill, and the quickest possible
construction Of the road thereafter.
Is matter of such paramount i'm
portance that any longer delay will
naturally impair the general inter
ests of the whole. state. In all the
land held in the federation of Amer
can states there is but one of these
states which is split in two by bar
rler across which, during six months
or the year, no wheeled vehicle can
be drawn, and by the most trying and
difficult route during the other six
months-and that state is Idaho.
Only the most miserable narrow
mlndedness will continue a condition
which renders two portions of one
state as devoid Of communication
and widely separated commercially
as though they were outlying proyin-
ces on opposite sides of an unpro-
gressive fuedal country. The
amount needed to complete the work
is OF but little moment compared to
the immense benefits that would be
returned. 1t is by no means local
matter, but one of general necessity
1t is true the state has constructed q

mineral wealth has been made nar-
tally accessible and great step for.

The second annual report of c. j.
Bassett, the retiring commissioners OF
immigration, has just been issued
from the Signal Office and the matter
contained Is aboundant proof of the
value OF the immigration bureau to
the state and the wisdom displayed
IN the creation of the office of COM
missioner. 1t has not only been eff
fective in bringing 1000 home seek
ers to our state in the past eighteen
months and generally disseminating
abroad an understanding of Idaho
never before approached, but it has
been prolific in giving our own peo-
pie knowledge of ourselves. Stat
lstics have been compiled and inform
alton secured which could not be
obtained prior to the founding of the
bureau. The results of the past two
years show the exercise of much
ability and earnest effort on the part
of Mr.. Bassett during his incumbency
Some interesting extracts from the
eport may be looked for in the
