anybod, smashing the
Spanish ships uni. they we're all sunk,
burned or captured. Yet he was prose-
cutting war for humanit f. The same
spirit was shown at Ell Carey and in
the destruction of Cerversas fleet.
Our soldiers and sailors, officers and
men, understood they were there to
fight the enemy into complete submis
on and they proposed to do it regard
less of how many people might be
killed or hurt. Yet it was a war for
humanity because its ultimate object
was humane, says the Indianapolis
Journal.
The leaders of the democratic party
who are trying to make an issue out of
the conduct of the war in the Philip
pines have changed the expression to
suit their purpose. Instead of a war
''for" humanity, they now demand a
war "of'' humanity, by which they
mean a war in which the enemy shall
not be roughly handled, and which, if
possible, no person on the other side
shall be hurt, and which shall not be
fought to a finish. Their idea of
war of humanity is that when Amer
lean soldiers are smitten on one cheek
they shall turn the other, and that
enemies in arms shall be killed with
kindness instead of with bullets.
Their contention is absurd and insin-
cere. No war was ever conducted on
the principle which they pretend to

THE REPUBLIC OF CUBA.
Work of the Urfted States Has Been
Performed Honestly and Cyni-
cism Ii SiIenced

Since the United States interviewed
on behalf of Cuba in her armed eff
fort to throw off Spanish tyranny
there has been cynical contention
that the American people were moved

less with view to making such con-
tingency as remote as possible that
this government inspired an important
portion of the Cuban constitution, and
by this plan gained a concession of the
right to interfere under circumstances
which would undoubtedly have been
followed by interference even if the
Plat amendment had never been made
a part of the fund.-
new republic, SD. 49, Uetroit Free
Press (dem.).
In any view of the case this country
has silienced her adverse critics. Cuba
is republic and, in the matter of local
government, at least, an independently.
In many particulars the wisdom of tenn
porary control by this government has
been indicated. The disregard for law
that inevitably follows devastation
of war was held in check, the practical
sanitary work was marvel of achieve
ment, the system of education was
modernized, Echoolhouses were erect
ed where most needed and the judicial
system was purged of the evils that
substituted arbitrary control for JUS
tice. It is true that all this was done
at the expense of the Cubans and with
out the masses having a voice in the
matter, but they are to reap the ben
efits and are infinitely better prepared
for self-government than if this pro-
stationary direction of the United
States had been withheld.

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

The first of the preliminary sur
veys for the Ceur d. Alene & Spo-
kane Electric railway is completed
and two others are to be made be-
fore the board of directors comes to
a definite decision which route it
will complete. This decision de-
ponds largely upon the disposition
of the people to grant free right
Of way through their farms. We
understand that the company is not
asking bonus, but expects a free
right Of way on account of the en-
HANGED value of the land as a result
of the building of the line. In CON
nection with the feasibility of the
routes, the question of a right OF
way will largely determine the
action OF the board of directors in
deciding which survey will be Sc
lected for the line. There is not a
land owner along the proposed line
who will not have his property
doubled in value by its construction
and we do not believe one of them
will be so blind to his own interests
as to refuse to grant the concession.

THE alleged irregularities Of the
judges in failing to post sample
ballots in the booths and in per
hitting persons to electioneer with
in the polling place, together with
the action Of the counting judges
in permitting outsiders to assist
them in counting votes, and the
annoying interference Of others in
calling names of different candi-
dates when a judge was reading
ballots, were all unlawiul-some
of them criminal-and may result
in the vote of this precinct being
thrown out, if Il contest Is insti-
tuted. We have no doubt the in
tentions of the judges were good
and their integrity Is rot ques-
toned; but an election is 4 serious
thing. The rights of the people
are involved in it and the ballot IS
the most sacred Of those rights.
In its integrity and purity lies the
very foundation Of our govern
ment, and if there was no criminal
intent the loose methods permitted
last Tuesday tended to make
farce Of the election and left those
who conducted it open 70 criticism.
We believe the judges did what
they considered their duty and the
irregularities complained Of were
the result Of their not having
proper knowledge of the law; but
that will not prevent a contest if
any defeated candidate takes the
matter up, and it may result in the
loss Of the vote of the town.

we believe it will be. We were

pie would have been served BY the
success OF those we supported But
that is matter Of past history now

there is a certain amount OF patron
age, commonly referred to as

not believe the repulincaus will be
in any way modest about taking
all there is in sight. That is q

titled to it so long as no extortior
or extravaganza is practiced in
spending the peoples money.

to solidify the ranks of democracy.
Our republican friends walked up
to the polls and, with very few eN-
CeptionS, voted their ticket straight,
while democratic ballots looked as
though they had come ont OF 4
slaughter pen The old and young
made their fight in the
and on election day
tickets looked alike to
all of them.

we will be such good Sprinters that
it will take the republicans ten
years to catch up.

TUE LESSON.

The state of Idaho is naturally
democratic, but conditions were
such in the campaign that victory
seemed doubtful to the close OBJ
server from the beginning. In the
first place the republicans had
been out OF power for six years and
the Mcconnell regime OF cor
ruption had become stale history.
They placed strong man on their
ticket for governor, than whom no
other in their party eNcelled in
character and fitness for the posi-
ton. This gave strength to their
ticket. The party was united and
working tremendously for success.
On the other hand Governor Hunt,
while his administration has been
clean, did not seem able TO grasp
situations with that determination
and cool Judgment which should
characterize a chief executive.
This resulted in numerous blum
ders that weakened his administra-
ton and hurt the party. He vetoed
a number of bills, after the adjourn
ment OF the legislature, that lost
him strength. because they were
good bills; he made some unfortun-
ate appointments; his inconsistent
position in the Warden Arney in
vestigation injured both the party
and himself. And to cap it all,
the old factional fight in the party
ragged with the fury OF cyclone at
the Pocatello convention. Ii left
many sore spots and this resulted
in the knitting of the ticket. which,
with the governors inability IL
cement and enthuse his friends, re
suited in very noticeable apathy
among democrats throughout tht
state. All of these things contrib
uted to the republican victory anC
ought to teach the democrats ;
lesson, dearly as il has been pur
chased. 1t ought to show then
that factional fights must be SUM
so deeply that they will never CONF
to the surface again. That dem
ocracy must rise above factions anC
present a united front if it is to re
cover control of the state, and thi
can be accomplished only by let
ting the dead past bury all differ
ences. The habit some democrat
have of making sighting reference.
