RAIN CLOUDS
ROLL AWAY
Fair Weather Promised for To.
morrow and Probable
for the Week

The weather forecast for Northern
Idaho this morning is for fair weather
otday and tomorrow. Observer Alps,
in charge of the local bureau, says that
the storm area that was conferred over
north of Montana yesterday morning
has moved to- the southeast and now
hangs over the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains. An area of high
pressure has appeared over the Ore
gon Washington coast and extends
eastward to Northern Idaho causing
fair weather over Washington, Oregon
and Northern Idaho. The indications
favor continued fair weather the re-
mainder of the week although the bu-
reau seldom predicts the weather more
than thirtysix hours in advance.
There was enough rain fall in WalIa
Walla and Spokane to muddy the
streets. Lewiston was fortunate to re-
ceive nothing more than light shower
in the morning.

ON A FALSE RUMOR

The furry among st. Louis banking
institutions yesterday was totally un-
warranted by the condition of the
banks and all resulted from false ru-
NOR that the banks were trying to bar
row money in Chicago to cover a short
age made by handling unsound securi-
ties. The rumor spread like wild fire
and created a panic among depositors
In the savings department of three
great banking institutions. Nothing
could stop the rush though the banks
had ample funds on hand to meet all
demands from the depositors.
The incident is chiefly notable for
the light it throws on the peculiarities
of the human race. When the people
are wild with an idea judgment and
sane reasoning are of no avail. When
the depositors thought the money was
not there they all wanted it and when
they were sure they could have it they
did not want it.

| judgments, but in some of the states
this fall the issues are clear cut be-
tween the old national parties and
| there the interest will center. This is
particularly true in Ohio where Tom
Johnson as an accepted follower of the
| Organized democracy is making the
campaign for governor.
No one expects Johnson to win in
Ohio, but it will be interesting to note
how much strength he can carry for
the issues he represents. Johnson's
campaign stands for free trade and an
Incorporation. The Johnson campaign
has given everything a socialistic
flavor. Capital and corporations are
abused, and there is much talk about
public ownership of franchises and
other property. The platform reaffirms
the Chicago and Kansas City platforms
of Mr.. Bryan, and Bryan's sympathy
and help is centered in Johnson as
prospective candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination.
In Maryland and Kentucky the re-
suits will be closer and may indicate
what the outcome may be in the presi-
dental election next year. In Mary
land the fortunes of Senator German
and his presidential aspirations are at
stake in this election. Democratic sue
cess in Maryland and democratic re-
verses in Ohio would put German above
Johnson as a democratic possibility
and would be direct victory for that
faction of the democratic party that
favors reorganization.
Full tickets are to be elected in
Massachusetts. Ohio, Kentucky, Rhode
Island Maryland, Mississippi and Iowa.
while in New York, Pennsylvania and
Colorado judges and several minor Of
ficers are to be voted for. The con-
tests are between candidates of the two
old parties, although the socialists have
tickets in all states except Nebraska,
and the populists in Iowa and Colo
RADIO, and the socialist labor party in
New York, Massachusetts and Ohio.

A BATTLE OF GIANTS

The situation in Montana resulting
from legal battle between Heinze and
the Amalgamated Copper company is
a serious one. 1t is a battle involving
great corporations on both sides and is
far reaching in its results. 1t is bat
tie between giants with millions of
money to continue the fight.
But while the fight continues labor is
idle. thousands are out of employ
ment directly and the business of a
prosperous city is brought to a stand
still by the closing of the mines of the
Amalgamated company. Both parties
to the contest are ready to talk but
nothing results from the conferences
Here is another question for arbitration
nearly as broad in its settlement as
was the fight last year between the
miners and the coal companies. The
situation calls for some decisive action
along the same lines as settled the coal
strike.
