TALKING TO ONES SELF.
Belief Is Common That 1t LIS a symp-
tom of Insanity.

tom OF insanity.
Talking to ones self has this obvious
advantage over any other form of ora
tory or gossip-one is assured of q
sympathetic audience.
But it, has also this peculiar draw
back-it is supposed to be one of the
early symptoms of insanity. Wrongly
SO, perhaps. A mad doctor might rule
the habit out Of his diagnosis.
Nevertheless the popular belief is
firmly rooted. And it is for fear OF
this belief, doubtless, that we talk to
ourselves, even as we dress our hair
with straws, so rarely. 1t may be said
that we never do address ourselves at
any length except in the delirium of
a fever. In moments of ordinary ex-
element, of course, we utter to the
wind some sort of appropriate ejacu-
lation. Delight wrings from us a cry
of "Hurrah!" or THANK heaven!"
even though there be none by to echo
us.
Similarly in any disgust we emit one
of those sounds whose rather poor
equivalents in print are ugh" and
''Faugh!" 'D-n!" and "Tut!" Much
farther than this we do not go. why,
what an ass am Ir' cries Hamlet in
one of his soliloquies. Omitting the
first word and transposing the last two,
the ordinary modern man does often
soliloquize to that extent. But he
could no more soliloquize to Hamlets
extent than he could speak in deca-
syllabics
Nor is there any reason to suppose
that that class of the community with
which, contemptuous of his own flu
ency, Hamlet compared himself, is or
ever was more prone to soliloquies we
cannot accept Hamlet as an unbiased
authority.
We merely find in him the possible
origin of the belief that talking to
ones self is bad sign.

1t is curious to note how long-lived
European sovereigns are and how
much they have improved in this re-
spect. In the year 1S49 there were
no fewer than fifty-one sovereigns in
Europe, but of these there was only
one who was over 10 years of age,
King Ernst August, son of George
III. Of England. At the present time
there are no fewer than forty mem
bers Of reigning houses who are over
70 years of age, the senior of whom
is the grand duke of Luxembourg, who
is in his 85th year. The sovereigns
over 70 are the king of Denmark, aged

THE NOMINEES.

The democracy of Idaho county
have shown by their course during
the present campaign that they
were in all political matters actu-
ated by desire to do the very best
thing in their power for the people
OF the county. They elected good
men from the various precincts as
delegates to their county conven-
ton, and we think all will admit
that a more representative gather
ing OF citizens has never before
assembled in this county than the
late democratic convention. The
work of such representative con-
vention in nominating a ticket
should not be repudiated by the
democratic voters of the county
without actual cause. That con-
vention was dominated by no clique
or faction. The party at large was
in absolute control from start to
finish, and they selected ticket
that is acknowledged by all to be
the best ever placed before the
voters by either party. That ticket
the FREE Press nails to it's mast
head, and we take pleasure in COM
mending it to all voters for the
ability, integrity, morality and So
briefly OF the citizens whose names
appear upon it. The democracy,
in placing this ticket before the
voters of the county, were gov
erned by the principle that the
people are entitled to the very best
services which the legal salaries of
county officers will procure. They
laid political sentiment aside and
nominated their ticket as nearly as
possible upon business principles.
The local reader, by referring to
the names on the ticket, will see
that the party has made no mis-
take. In this issue will be found
special mention Of the persons fav-
ored with place on the ticket.
We believe and hope that they will
all be elected. If so, it will be to
the interest of the county that
they all be elected, for then the
democratic party will alone be re-
sponsible for them, and there will
be no political friction in the adj
ministration of our county affairs.
1t they prove unfaithful let the
people supplant them at the next
election by members of another
political faith. In this way all
parties will realize their response
bility and the people will be best
served.
P. W. Mitchell has resided in
this county for several years past
and is practicing attorney of
