THE IDAHO NOMINATIONS.

THE sOLICITUDE OF the local Re-
publican organ for the Democratic
party in Idaho is charming. IL con-
graduates the Idaho Democrats for
Kidding themselves OF the Populists up
there, and attempts 20 create the I'M
preston that the Democrats consider
the radiance a good one. AS matter
OF fact. practically all OF the Idaho
Populists have aligned themselves with
the Democratic party.
This is true Of Senator Heitfeld,
Congressman Glenn. Martin Jacobs
and other leaders. The Silver Repub-
hcans are also aligned with the Demo-
Gratis. so that the talk or casting the
Populists or any other reformers adrift
IS the height OF Stiffness. The Demo-
cratic party Is the only natural haven
for men OF all beliefs who sincerely
desire 10 bring about needed reforms
IN government affairs. The Populists
and Silver Republicans could not con-
sistently join the party Of Hanna. and
so they have taken the other course.
Democratic victory at the polls in
Idaho is already assured and the sue
cessor OF Senator Heitfeld viii be a
Democrat. The state ticket nominated
at Poeatello is one that cannot fail 20
command the respect and the loyal
support of a large majority OF the
voters. From Governor Hunt, named
to succeed himself, down TO the last
individual. every member is clean and
capable. The ticket deserves TO win
and il viii win.
There were some lively fights in the
convention and before the convention,
but they were all good natured and
every Idaho Democrat can support the
nominees without losing one iota of
his self respect Now is the time for
them TO get together and work with
out ceasing until the polls close. The
nominations were all in the end made
by reclamation, which is in itself a
-ood augury for perfect harmony and
-autual good understanding.
Idaho is attracting more than ordi-
nary attention this year and the Re
publicans are going TO spend consider
able money there. 1t Is admitted by
the Republican national leaders that
they must night hard 10 retain control
OF the house. One OF the votes they
are claiming as a gain is the vote OF
Idahos congressman. In this they are
going TO be disappointed If there is
anything in political indications.

CLEAN NEWSPAPER WORK.

T HE HERALD's esteemed contem-
porary. the Intermountain Catho-
lie. in a spasm Of seif-righteousness,
takes the daily press OF Salt Lake to
task for its method of handling the
news. Says the Catholic:
1.-THE daily press OF Salt Lake, in its
treatment of local news, particularly
criminal news and anything reflecting
upon the character OF "A person. makes
no distinction between public opinion and
public curiosity. In its desire TO satisfy
the last il utterly ignores the first. No
femonstrance from the religious element
OF our people, no persuasion from men
ana women occupying the clean side OF
social life inhibits the local press from
opening the floodgates of scandal and
immortality and publishing the details OF
crime in all its offensiveness. even OBJ
scenity. Resentment, so far from teach
ing the daily press lesson or leading
10 any modification Of the sensational.
only makes the reporter more wicked. -
The Herald is not all that it should
be, or that its management would like
1t to be, but il MIST enter a plea of not
guilty in this instance. In the rush and
hurry that are necessarily attendant on
the Issuance of daily newspaper II is
not always possible to see that the
English is the purest. the words the
besL chosen. 1t is possible, though, to
avoid the publication of offensive mat
ter, and this The Herald has always
done.
Every man who prepares news for
the columns of The Herald, and every
man who reads that matter before it
is put into type, makes il his business
TO see that nothing which would Of
fend the most delicate sensibilities is
used. The Herald is a newspaper that
prints all the news. but no head of a
Salt Lake household is obliged to sean
its pages carefully in order TO see if
the paper may be put before the MEM
bers of his family without being CEN
sored.
1t is far easier TO cr,ticise than to
correct. as the editor of the Catholic
very well knows. 1t is also easier to
criticise generally than to criticise spe-
cifically. There is no doubt that much
Nth creeps into the public prints under
the guise of news, and that some Salt
Lake papers are more or less guilty on
that score. The Herald, however, is
not one of them.
Any member Of any family in Salt
Lake may read The Herald without
feai of shock. Vigorous language is
necessary. sometimes in the treatment
of subjects proper for discussion, but
vigorous English and foul English are
as different as a battle with boxing
gloves and a battle with mud balls.

OUR LIVELY OLD FOLKS.

1T WAS HARDLY NECESSARY for
the census department TO premul-
gate its bulletin about the increase in
the age average Of the United States.
Every day we find items in the daily
newspapers about the great things
done by aged men and women. There's
Martin Ruiz OF Santa Monica. Cal. The
last wonderful thing about Martin was
his death. He had lived TO be 107 years
old. and il was but natural that those
about him should expect him TO keep
on living forever,
John NJ. DennisOn Of Kansas fur
nlshes another example of what a boy
can do when he tries. Mr.. Dennison
saw a swarm Of bees light on one OF
the limbs Of a tall tree in his front
yard. and, by way of celebrating his
eighty-ninth birthday anniversary, he
concluded TO go after those bees. The
longest ladder he had was too short, so
he Skinned" I'D the tree until he
reached the limb where the bees re-
posed. Then he cut of the limb and

bees are his now.
At a Washington hospital the other
day. two men were sitting on the lawn
talking politics. One was Is years old
The other was born In the year of
grace 1902. The discussion waxed so
warm that the younger man felt i'm
PEELED to add some force TO his argu-
ment- SO he picked up a bench and
hurled 1t at the centenarian. The lat
ter side-stepped the bench and at once
feh upon the other fellow. Before he
could be pulled of he had beaten him
until he howled for mercy. And TO add
an air Of veracity to the tale. there is
no statement that the old man saw
he troops marching home from the
war Of 1912.
IL looks as IL the old were growing
younger, and the young growing older
all the time. There won't be any dis
putting the latter proposition. at any
rate.

In the days when Kipling was a
bachelor he wrote a line which has
served as a slogan for many who ar
que that greatness and genius is more
common among the unyoked than the
yoked. He travels fastest who trav-

must be remembered. was before he
was married. Not long ago a young
friend of the authors was married.
and Kipling, in a letter OF cOngratula-

happiness In your married life as has
come TO me in mine. | certainly can
not wish you anything more or better
than that"
Now, IL may be argued by these
