Right Will Triumph.

Well. the agony il over. and, what

We did the best we could under the
circumstances. and there is nothing to

right will triumph.

beaten. but Democracy lives and will

the damage.
There may be occasion during the

is 10 be hoped that he Will prove him
self the chief executive of the whole
country. with breadth enough TO treat
all sections alike and with manhood
enough TO outline and follow n policy
that will not be based upon sectional
resentment and narrow partisanship.
For the sake of the south. for the
sake of the peace and the welfare or
the entire country, we trust he will
prove himself an American in the
broadcast sense of the word rather than
a mere sectionalist. The opportunity
presenting itself 10 him Is a great one.
While there is much TO deplore in the
record he has so far made. there Is
much In the man himself TO admire.
He Is brainy and courageous and hon.

truth that he will enter upon his new
term OF office less hampered by ques-

south greets the other sections of our
common country with cheerfulness and

eyes turned hopefully toward the fu-
ture. We have gone through many n

the amount of a warrant stolen by
C. C. Raby while auditor. This is
a case where the county has been
forced to pay the same bill twice.
The board of county commissioners
ordered Auditor Raby to draw a
warrant in favor of the American
Bridge Co. in the sum of SI753 as
final payment for a bridge across
the river at Palouse. Raby drew
the warrant, signed the bridge com
pany's name to it over his own en-.
dorsement, and cashed the paper,
using the money to crafty his own
reckless nature. Raby was arrested

itentiary, which term he is now
serving. The bridge company sued
the county for the amount of the
warrant and secured judgment. The
case was appealed to the supreme
court, which confirmed the judg-
ment. Prosecuting Attorney Hanna
then asked for a rehearing and this
has been refused by the supreme
court, the notification of the refusal
having reached Colfax last week.
The county will now be compelled
to pay the money. A suit against
Raby's bondsmen, a surety COM

MIsAPPLIED ambition has often proved curse
to the human Hannibal the leonine Carthagin-
ian, was imbued with feverish ambition to hum
BILE the Roman empire. His ambition caused not
only his own run but eventually brought about the
destruction Of Carthage Alexander the Great was
so inflated by his initial successes that he imagined
himself to be invincible. His ambition knew no
bounds. In sheer disgust this spoilt child sighed
for worlds to conquer. AS Engalls has said IN
his essay Opportunity, he appeared to be the
master Of human destinies" Napoleon, who made
such meteoric flight from Toulon to the Tuileries,
is another logical example Of the misery, suffering,
and death which misapplied ambition is capable Of
enactlng.
This sort of ambition is species of insanity.
Under it's direction, mans humane motives are
stifed It betrays friendship corrupts honesty, beg
gars charity, bights happiness, and, worst of ALL it
destroys character. The history of misapplied
bition is one long disaster of wrongs against the
human race. The lofty ambition, however, that pro-
duced such great men Plato, Aristotle Sophocles,
and Herodotus is Of nestimable benefit to the world
and worthy of emulation. Between the ambition
that governed the acts of Scion, Pericles Arstides
and Thucydides, and the ambition that causes a man
to devote his life in warfare with his fellow men,
there is vast difference. The men above men
toned add to the intellectual greatness of mankind
They help to lift up and not crush down.
It has been said that "The summit of a vain
ambition is often the depth of misery" Julius
Caesar and Napoleon both found this to be true. It
is only when the twilight of life sets in that most
persons comprehend what false ambition has

BeW0re of Sharp Turns.

WHAT caused his downfall?' you ask The
paper said it because of his penchant for doing
sharp turns. Be that as it may, must admit that
there are many men in this world who, in order to
gain their ends, make some pretty sharp turns
against the bulwark Of the law Often they rub up
against this structure hard that it's safety weak
ened Every additional rub is menace, not only to
the wrongdoer but to the law.
There is brick building within the prison
grounds that has often attracted our attention There
are several brick buildings within the yard but the
one we have reference to abuts a alley
way which leads to the side track that into the
prison yard This alleyway is often used by teams
Unless care IS taken in making the turn leading into
it, the corner Of this brick building will be rubbed
Sharp turns, however, have worn the corner COM
pletely off, Each additional brick that is loosened
adds to the danger Of it tumbling down. At first
the abrasons were hardly noticeable AS these turns
became sharper, the effect became more apparent.
How true this smile is in regard to the effect
produced by individuals upon the bulwark of the
law Every sharp turn that Injuries it's solidity,
bound to weaken it's durability. If continued the
structure will soon become useless 1t will tumble
down. Men will cease to look to it for protection
Men will cease to respect the rights of others.
Might instead of right will rel On.
The making Of sharp turns in business, in poll
tics, and in everyday life must be sternly suppressed
Each ofense that is allowed to go unheeded, will pro-
duce a hundred mitators. Any with common
sense can understand what such will lead to-

Outdoor SPORTS.

RECENTLY professor who has spent thirty
five years educating young men for their future
careers said that the students, who up to
chief in their school days, were the ones who made
their mark in the business world after they had left
college. The professor does not classify rough
amusements in the same category with good, healthy
pranks and jokes which contribute so much toward
the entertainment that prevails in institutions Of
learning He highly commends all outdoor sports.
His vast experience has taught him that the time
devoted to outdoor sports, is time spent in prof
liable manner. He believes that the physical as
we'll as the mental condition of the students should
be cultivated to high degree Of perfection. This
theory is held by most of college professors.
While many deplore the numerous accidents attend
ing football games they do not wish to the sport
entirely abolished. Football is one of the national
games inseparably connected with student life. In
time, perhaps some of its worst features will be
remedied; but the game itself has to stay. It
is said all the soldiers in the army of Argentina

Circ1t771StU71tiOL Evidence.

The Saturday Evenlng Post is publishing the
story of Mrs. Florence aybrick, the American wom-
an who was imprisoned for fifteen years in Eng
ish prison for the alleged poisoning Of her husband
It tells of the trial. conviction, and Imprisonment Of
this unfortunate woman; and it also gives vivid
description of English prisons. The motive which
prompts Mrs. Maybrck in writing this article is to
attempt to right the wrong which the British gov
eminent has placed upon her character Many in
fuentlal Americans have long believed that an
injustice has been done her They have spared no
pains to bring about her release but the British gov
eminent demanded absolute proof This, unfortu-
nately, they were unable to produce.
Circumstantial evidence has often proved frail
structure upon which to condemn human being
Evidence Of this nature is easy to be found. Such
deductions as incompatibiity, life insurance, etc.
can place thousands of persons in position from
which they cannot satisfactorily extrlcate themselves
When the machinery of the law once lays it's hand
upon person. it does not lift 1t until jury has de-
cded the fate of the accused In ninety nine
out of hundred it is an mpossbty to refute cir
cumstantial evidence. If the state can prove that
the accused person has profted by the crime, cir
cumstantial evidence has proven it's case. The
prosecution is satisfied Of the existence of guilt If
the defendants attorney cannot produce facts to the
contrary conviction is sure to follow.
Those who have read Mrs. Maybrick's version Of
the case can't help but be convinced by her sincerity
Every line emphasizes this fact However, she
not hope to convince her accusers of her innocence
She will have to take her to Gods judgment
seat for plete exoneration.
