A Good Choice.

The selection by the republican
Legislative caucus OF Judge w. b
Hepburn for the United States
senate will meet with very genera
approval. There may be few
sore spots remaining after tho
fight. This is but natural, but
they will all be healed over in a
short time for every republican in
Idaho recognizes the eminent abili-
ty Of Judge Hepburn as lawyer
and his fitness for the highest posi-
ton within the gift of any state.
He has been in Idaho for almost
10 years and there has never been
n time when his loyalty to the re-
publican party could be questioned
He has always been a republican
and his purse and his services
have ever been at the command Of
his party. The state is proud OF
her new representative in the
United States senate and every
citizen feels confident that he will
attain to national prominence in
a very short time for his natural
abilities will carry him to the front.
Judge Hepburn won the fight on
his merits alone. No cleaner cam
paign was ever made in Idaho.
There is not the breath of scandal
nor the corrupt use OF money. 1t
was an open fight from first to last
and a thoroughly honest one. The
distinguished men who went
down to defeat may well be proud,
not only OF the support accorded
them, but of the man who defeated
them. He is u sterling republican
every hour and every day iii the
year and his integrity can not be
called in question, neither as a
politician nor as private citizen.
There is nothing humiliating in
being defeated by such a man and
the republican party fully appreci-
ate the eminent services. past and
present, OF those who aspircd to the
same position. Judge Hepburn
will very soon be our senator-not
the senator of any one party-but
the senator OF every resident OF
Idaho. 1t is, therefore, the duty OF
Every patriotic citizen OF this state
10 lay aside all personal and
sectional prejudice and assist him
n every possible way in the per-
'ormance OF the duties of the great
office to which he has been called

An Intelligent Body.

Taken collectively the present
legislature of Idaho is one Of the
most intelligent bodies that ever
assembled in the state. They are
all earnest in purpose and anxious
to transact necessary legislation as
expcditionaly as possible. The
speedy settlement OF the senatorial
question has left very little bitter
ness and the legislature is now
ready for business. The state adj
ministration is evcrywhere regarded
rs an exceptally strong one and
the belief is current that it will CO.
operate heartily with the legislature
To be sure, the party now in
power will be obliged to face n
large deficit in every institution
from the Moscow University
TO the penitentiary but this heritage
from the democratic sta tie
administration will be faced
courageously and the problem cor
rectly solved. There viii be no
flinehing.

1t is estimated that the damage
by forest fires in Washington and
Oregon the past summer aud fall
amounts to nearly $l3,0OO,00O.
This great loss is not merely a
commercial loss Of timber, but a
loss to the nation as we'll, and
special effort should be made to
prevent further devastation OF this
kind. 1t is stated that where the
government had forest rangers
protecting government reserya-
tions, there was practically no
damage.

Our Workers.

At a recent meeting of the Island
Pond Union, W. c. T. u, Mrs. David
Porter furnished paper on this subject,
published herewith by request.
The Womans Christian Temperance
Union is an organization engaged in a
great and various work for the uplifting
o. humanity and the advancement OF all
that is good and pure in the individual
life. On the continent of America,
throughout Europe, India, Africa, China,
and in almost every country in the world
are to be found brave and loyal women
belonging to this association, who are
working to protect their fellow citizens
from the vices of drunkenness and i'm
purity, and the evil effects of narcotics
The aim of this paper is to consider for
a moment what is being done in the
state of Vermont by the w. C. II. U. be-
ginning with the department
HEALTH AND BEREDITY.

Labor day in America" said sa-
tirical British tourist, lis the day in
America when no one labors." Having
delivered this facetious utterance, he
promptly copied It and mailed it to his
beloved Punch. Trivialities do not ap.
peal to John Mitchell. president of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
he gives more satisfactory definition
Of the day in letter to the New York
World. Labor day in America CORE
spends to May day in Europe" he says.
"On that day the hosts Of labor Join In
parade and assemble In mass meeting
for the purpose of reviewing the prog
ress Of the past, discussing the prob
lens Of the present and preparing to
meet the exigencies Of the future. The
year just closed has been eventful in
many respects. Labor has won numer.
GUS victories, both by strikes and by
negotiations; but, better still, labor and
capital learned many lessons, chiefly
to respect the rights, the obligations
and the duties of each to the other and
Of both to society. The future holds
out bright promise for American labor
whose relations with capital are being
reconciled through Cancellation, arbl
tration. joint conferences and trade
agreements"

Congregational Reciprocity.

Under this head The Congregational
list and Christian World, Published at
Boston, in reference to the international
meeting to be held at Island Pond next
week, says:
The Quebec Congregational Associa-
ton will meet at Island Pond, VT, Sept.
30, 80, and afford fine example of
Congregational fellowship between the
two lands. This is an innovation on the
part of the association which will be APP
preciated on 10th sides of the border.
In Canada are many pastors who once
served in the United States, while in
Vermont alone is good-sized contingent
of those who hail from the Dominion.
Noticeably among these are Rev. Thomas
Hall of Island Pond and Rev. A. +. Me-
Gregor of Newport, both of whom were
superintendent for the Canadian Con-
gregational Missionary Society. Rev.
DR.. s. N. Jackson, formerly of Barre
aud now of Burlington, was also for
many years the honored treasurer of the
same society, and central figure in the
common work of the churches. Other
ministers from Canada scattered up and
down the state, as well as other Vermont
pastors, will doubtless join this gather
ing at Island Pond, which pr omises tc

tionalists of both lands. The Orleans
County Ministerial Association will CO.

of the meetings.

The Root Of All Evil.

Paul the apostle In his charge to Tim
othy upon the latters going over into
Macedonia said, For the love of mon
ey is the root of all evil, which, while
some coveted after, they have erred
from the faith and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows"
According to Colonel Henry Waiter

support from the Christian civilization
Of twentieth century America. In an
address before the graduates Of bust
ness college at Hoboken the other even.

The Mountain Rule and the
coxarnorship.

And so the Hon. MIR. Clement Is sober
" considering the propriety aud practl'
cability of busting" the Mountain kule'
declaring himself true blue republican,
notwithstanding he bolted the straight
republican convention last year, and try
ing to capture the Office of chief execu-
tive of the state next year. Is such the
scheme? or is the suggestion only the
efferyescence of ludicrous dream in the
mind of a humorist? But indeed there
is much of medley in human life and
stranger things have happened, for in.
stance the escape of the same gentle
man from an election last year. A con-
temporary remarks that "there is no rea-
son for or against the Mountain Rule"
Then surely custom of long time rec
IGNITION becomes practically entitled to
the force of law, and we apprehend that,
as sure as the mountains stand, the next
governor of Vermont will be resident
of the east side. We are very sorry this
term "East Side" is so obnoxious to the
good people residing along the New
York border. The term "West Side
c.uses us no shivering. We are not
ashamed to acknowledge that it is part
OF us. True we are as closely united as
were the Samese twins. With them
the union was the life. We must not in
any sense become antagonistic in princi.
pie or the whole will become weakened.
The Mountain Rule cannot be ignored
in 1904, any more than in any past time
without causing such disturbing of the
relationship as to SOW seeds of discord
for many year to come. Why not the
New York side of Vermont hush its bah
blings and rest content upon its laurels
and be not jealous if the East Side ex
presses in due form its public spirited
ness, and shows its loyalty to the whol'
commonwealth by honest efforts to pro
mote the general welfare? The Yves
Side had better wait another two years
and probably will, if it can unfette
itself from the domination of the gentle
man from Rutland.

A Caucus Law Wanted.

Indeed now is the time when we ought
to be safeguarded by caucus law. The
personnel of our conventions is deter
mined by the make up of local caucuses,
and there has been complaint enough in
the past to have fully warranted the leg
islature of 1902 in providing rules and
regulations with the force of law so that
the will and desire of the members of
the different parties locally would not be
overthrown. Republicans in principle
have no business in democratic caucuses.
Neither should a republican caucus be
subject to the slightest influence of those
who believe not in its policies and do not
propose to affiliate with it. Whether or
not man who this year publicly bolts
the regular party ticket, and does all he
can to defeat it's candidate, should be
permitted to return to the fold next year
may be mooted question. Undoubt-
eddy sure repentance should be guaran-
teed. We believe in the rights of a
strong, robust individuality when right
ly founded; but it is quite natural to
suppose that the one is more liable to be
in error than the thousand.
MIR. Clement and his friends forcibly,
and with some little noise, bolted the
state republican convention in 1902, and
did all in their power to defeat the regu.
lar nominees of that convention. They
were not republicans last year. Do they
claim to be republicans this year, and
will they offer themselves as such at the
doors of local republican caucuses in
1904? Will they show works meet for re.
pentance, or will they continue in a dis.
tinct political organization as in 1902
Time alone will determine. If thew
should knock at the door of democratic
caucus in 1904 would they not be asked
to make deposit, of good faith at least
Should any less be required if they want
to again express their belief in the fun.
damental principles of the republican
party? The situation is peculiar. Is
there danger of its becoming trouble
some? Time is the great problem solver
and leveler of uneven conditions.

Now we shall know all about what Is
going on In Macedonia. The sultan OF
Turkey has hired a press agent the

feels the need Of having his govern

world in a proper light and for that
reason he has hired an American, who
is to be the press agent for the Turk

The sultan has long been accused OF
being an unprogresslve tyrant who ut
terly lacked the up-to-dateness OF the
infidel occident and who was slower
than the proverbial snail in introduc-
ing needed reforms. Let SANDER still

hustling American press agent well
gifted with Imagination. and we shall

form has been carried out and that

considerable. most humane ruler the

and when he and the sublime reporter
begin giving out rival massacre figures

ish districts will speedily be depopu

will kill all the Macedonians and Bul

every Turk within a hundred miles Of
the seat Of war.

He is well aware Of the value of {

seems to need one very much. for Che
