descendant of ancestors probably arboreal
in their habits. He climbs up his little
tree and from that noble height looks
down with condescension and pity on that
poor, frivolous, vain creature sprung
from Adams spare rib. 20, Lord, the
amount of money that women spend on
their clothes! Are You married, my boy?
Then take my advice and don't Why,
l suppose my wife spends $500 year on
her hats alone" Thus masculine wisdom
chatters from the boughs of the chestnut
tree And masculine wisdom is right, of
course. Let every man lay his right hand
upon the region which he believes to be
occupied by his heart-or liver-and sol
emily swear never to cease reminding the
women folks of their finical taste and
reckless squanderings, especially in the
matter of hats. Repeat the words of a
thoughtful poet, Sir Lewis Norris
"For man must work and woman must
spend,
And of running up bills she makes no
end,
And her husband poor is moaning"
AS some women have been ignorant or
prejudiced enough to jeer at men in
general and their talk about extrava-
gance in particular, and to refer to the
present popularity of Panama hats for
men as an illustration of masculine
vanity and extravaganza, the case is here
explained. Irreverent womankind says:
Here, you men are putting more money
into hats than we ever think of doing.
Just think of spending $50, 500, $500 on
hat! Why, it's ridiculous. And see
your silly vanity. We hear you talking
about blocked and loosely blocked and
the real article We see you gazing at
your hats tenderly, lifting them up, when
YOU are good enough to bow to us, much
more carefully than you could lift your
own baby, and dripping with self-satls-
faction as you strut along under your
monuments of frightful extravaganza.
Mover talk to me any more about our
hats and the bills for them, if you please.

altruism which has led men to buy luXu-
rious homes for their heads.

The above opinion, written more than
month ago under different circum-
stances and for a different purpose, is
now filed as my dissenting opinion en-
bodying the views l still entertain as to
the law. This 1 say in justice to myself,
as my opinion, professedly dissenting
from the opinion of the court does not
allude thereto. AS / have just received
the opinion of the court, it is impossible
for me in the few remaining hours of
the session to rewrite my opinion, or
even to materially change it without en-
dangering it's logical connection. In spe-
officially dissenting from the opinion of
the court, l scarcely know where to be-
gin, as l dissent from it in toto, both in
it's conclusion and the reasoning by
which it is reached. There is one part,
containing the dominating principle of
the opinion, which l cannot ignore. 1t
is the following: eff it should be OBJ
jected to this opinion that to be con-
sistent it embraces impliedly the view
that there is no statute which fixes the
assessment of the real and personal
property of the railroad companies in
this State upon which taxes can be
levied and collected, until the assess
ment provided for in June, 1903, by the
Act of 1901, Chapter Z. Section u, it
would have to be admitted that that is
a fact" This is simply saying in sub
stance that no species of railroad prop
erty, real or personal, tangible or in
tangible, can be assessed for taxes until
June. 1908. In this view / could never

Politics as rule is very disagree
able proposition, friends must be
sacrificed for principles and principles
for friends, but sometimes the CON-
blnation is very agreeable and at this
election we are all happy in being
able to put our politics out of the
way for the occasion and drop our
ballots for Mary Harper, the Idaho
girl-the Weiser girl-we are all
proud of her. As a gentlewoman she
has put herself to the front and very
ably maintains her position. The
question Is not to keep her where
she is but to advance her to a higher
plane of usefulness and her assured
election will be only stepping stone
In the way to coming honors.

speeches to the fact that he was in

them, and large crowd composed
of many democrats gathered to hear
them The gentlemen strenuously
avoided any. reference to the platform
as adopted by the republican state
convention, and as far as a person
could judge from their speeches
there Is no such thing as the I" two
mile limit law in thus state,
which the Borah convention professed
to take so much interest in, as the
gentlemen made no mention whatever
of it They claimed the republican
party is an enemy to the trusts, and
is enforcing the.la to crush them
out, and in the next breath telling
how much good they were doing in
giving employment to so many la
borers, and the munifcent wages
they are paying, but the gentlemen
failed to mention the situation in
Pennsylvania, where the coal miners
and their wives'and children are being
starved to death by the coal trust,
but that was probably a slight alb
beration of memory.
Mr.. French reminded the audience
several times in his school boy ora
ton that he is candidate for con.
gress, and wanted their votes. anC
Mr.. Hamer also reminded them with
alarming frequency that he partc-
ipated in that great war for human
ity and civilization in the PHILIPPINES,
and assisted in shooting humanity
out OF them and civilization into
them with rifles, artillery and battle
ships.
AS getter of votes the speeches
of these gentlemen was fiat failure
as they failed to touch upon single
subject that is of interest to the
people of the state of Idaho.

but the Signal wishes to announce
that it stands strictly for the nominees
of the democratic party in state and
county as shown in the tickets pub
lished in this issue, and this decided
position Is not taken on purely
political grounds. A careful com
parison of the candidates shows that
the claims of the democratic nominees
are pre- eminent, and in the best In

present civilization. To those Of q
later date, the evidences of his well
directed energy and industry are
visible on every hand, in homes, gar
dens, fields, orchards and in many
other ways. For the past forty years,
that he has been dweller in this
county, he has ever been found in
the front and leader and supporter
of any and every measure presented
that seemed for the general good and
advancement of the land where he
has labored, and where he will finally
rest. AS his family increased and
the children grew in years, the vital
question of their education became
the matter of deepest thought with
him, and not for them alone, but for
all, as he has always been known as
the strongest advocate for the adj
vancement of our school system, his
efforts in this line, being rewarded
by seeing his own children pass up
the line from pupils to respected and
efficient instructors and in positions
of honor. AS the country developed,
his own interests developed proper
tionally. Today, as taxpayer, he
ranks among the first and has never
been an obstructionist, but liberal
and progressive. He has no stain
upon his character; and can stand in
the general assembly of the state the
peer of any there present. He Is
thoroughly informed on all matters
of state and national policy, and, in
the measures, that may come before
the legislative bodies for considera-
ton, he will be directing force and
not steerable commodity. In fact,
his qualifications for the position are
so pre- eminent that party prejudice
should be put aside and the general
interests of the county considered.
And there is no question but these
interests can best be subserved by
the election of Thos. G. Galloway,
the first settler in Weiser, our repre-
sentative to the next Idaho Legisla-
ture.

The improvement contemplated
on Main street is a very important
matter for the consideration of the
taxpayers along that chief thorough
fare of the city. The expense will
be considerable, and the utmost care
should be taken in the selection of
material as well as to the judicious
expenditure of the funds available for
poor or unsuitable material is dear
at any price. There are only two
sources to be considered in looking
for the gravel that will be required
Either it must come from the river
and be hauled solely by teams or
from the line of the P. & I. N. by
rail and distributed in place. We
are informed that there will be no
material difference in the cost, as
the P. & /. N. have offered very
low rate and will place cars in the
most favorable position for unloading.
This gravel has stood the test of the
heavist, street traffic in the CITY, and
the streets in front OF the Hotel
Weiser and down Second street to
the depot, are the visible evidences of
it's value. The north approach to the
p. q l. N. depot, also shows most
satisfactory results. In both these
localities 1T has stood the test of time
and weather in a satisfactory manner
and demonstrates the fact of the
first Importance to every growing
city that there is desirable material
available for the covering of our
streets, and at reasonable cost. In
any event the merits of the two
materials should be the matter for
first consideration, for if the improve
ments intended are not of perman.
ent character they will be dear at
any price.
