OOuCluuSu uOb w serve lulCn on
election day. Some made the
untruthful statement that the
lunch was for political purposes,
hence it has been postponed.
1t was in no way political, but
was planned to raise money for
church purposes.
Election today. Let the voters
today cast their votes for those.
in their opinion, that will make
the best officers. 1t is your duty
to see that only those are elected
who are true to the welfare of
the state and county. In county
affairs party name amounts to
nothing. If you want the same
mismanagement of county affairs
that now exist, vote the Macbeth
ticket, but if you desire that
all classes of people shall pay an
equal and just tax, vote the Citi-
zens' ticket.
Young men, do you ever thin k
of the mother who almost died
to give you life =? Whose hope
and joy, whose pride and con-
ISOLATION you ought to be ? You
are taking up life's work. You
are now an apprentice. Soon
you will be full fedged artisan
in the vocation you are follow
ing. Your practice is making
you perfect, and, when you
graduate into the world to stand
for what you represent and what
you really are, do you think you
will be proud of the outcome =?
The world will measure, weigh
and test you. If not up to the
standard you will be cast aside
as worthless. Your mother alone
will be willing to take your part.
Try to merit her support and
love. Try to be manly and
strong. Try to be hero among
men. Try to do the best. be the
best, always, persistently and
energetically. now and forever;
then you will have true victory
and be an easy winner. Then
you will be her great pleasure
and source. of infinite delight.
Boys, be and do faithful, honest
labor, and you are already men
and heroes.
John T. Morrison, republican
nominee for governor, and Lyt-
tleton Price, republican nominee
for District Judge of the Fourth
Judicial district, addressed the
citizens of Challis upon political
issues at the Odd Fellows hall
last Wednesday evening. The
hall was pretty we'll filed but
the meeting was rather frosty
there being little enthusiasm.
} Mr.. Price was the first speaker,
and made rather entertaining
speech. Mr.. Morrison followed,
and made very weak argument
for the G. o. p. He jumped from
one issue to another, but finally
settled down to the white pine
lands of northern Idaho, and told
how the state had suffered from
the sale of that timber. 1t is a
fact that he never mentioned
white pine in his northern cam.

heartily in accord with Governor
Hunts disposal of the tim Der, for
it has built towns, sawmills, and
opened up lands for settlement

the state. He told us how Ted
dy Roosevelt was fighting the
trusts Such nonsense ! The
records show that nine-tenths OF
the trusts have been born and
fostered under Mckinley anC
Roosevelt's terms of office. Mr.
Roosevelt retains in his cabine
as legal adviser Attorney Gen
eral Knox, attorney for the
, trusts. This. fact alone shows tt
3 an intelligent public that Mr.
Roosevelt's pretended enemity tC
the trusts is but a mockery. TIL,

how difficult and amusing it i
for an Idaho republican to tall

"two-mile limit" Mr.. Morrison
was as silent the grave. On thi
