migration has been large and has come
largely from republican states, Con-
sidering this new element. coupled with
the Dubois stigma which has fastened
itself on to the democratic state ticket
it would seem that Mr. Brady was not
far wrong when he estimates that
Frank Gooding will have q plurality
over Heitfeld of from 10000 to 81, 1000.
Mr.. Heitfeld and his supporters, of
course, are depending on getting a
large womans vote on account of the
Mormon question, but SO far as is dis
cernible at this time they have but
little to base their claim upon. In the
north the people are not interested in
the question and even Senator Dubois
has failed to arouse any enthusiasm. In
the southeast 1t is foregone conclusion
that the ticket will suffer by reason of
injecting this false issue into the plat
form. Capital News,

THE BATTLE-GROUND.
The Northern Counties Now the
Storm Center of Political Ac-
tivity In Idaho.

Each one of the political parties are
now engaged in getting a canvass of
the state, but the returns haye not
come in yet sufficiently to base any
claim upon. Both sides are claiming
the five northern counties which at the
present time is the storm center of po-
litical activity. Mr.. Heitfeld claims
that they will give him majority Of
not less than $500. while Mr.. Brady
claims that it will give like majority
for Mr.. Gooding. The vote in the FIVE

atorial candidates were:

Since the election two years ago there
has been large immigration in those
counties, most of winch has come from
the Dakotas and Minnesota. making it
a fair presumption that the increase in
the vote this year will be largely repub-
lican. Chairman Brady announces
that so far as he has heard from the
poll being taken in Nez Perez county it
shows this new vote to be at about the
ratio of 30 to 10 in favor of the repub-
licans.
This same element enters into the
speculation as to the increase in the
vote in southern Idaho. There the inn

A mother should be careful to make
only reasonable demands upon her
child's obedience, but when once made.
to enforce them implicitly. A thing
once refused should never be yielded TO
teasing. When it is possible the reason
for the refusal should be explained to
the child. One should be very careful
never to enter into a contest over a point
that cannot be enforced. A child NAV
be made TO do certain things. but no
power on earth can force him to do 9th
ers, or to say words that he has made
up his mind not to say. The prudent
mother will enforce her authority and
teach obedience on the ground that she
is sure of being able to hold. Points that
she knows she cannot carry she will
avoid until the habit of obedience is
formed and then there will be no discus
sion.

the Same To-day AS a Thou
sand Years Ago.

At dinner party in Washington, the
new Chinese ambassador discussed
American fashions satirically, says the
New York Tribune.
Now, in China" he said, "our fash
ions never change. l wear the same
sort of hat, the same sort of coat, the
same sort Of shoes. that a man in my
position wore a thousand years ago.
And 1t is the same with the Chinese
women. Their fashions also have not
changed in | know not how many
dynasties. Long ago. in China, we found
the costumes that seemed to us the most
graceful and the most comfortable, and
we cling to these costumes. We love
them.
But you-here in America-how often
is it-every week-every fortnight
that you change your fashions? Only
the other day met on the street an
American naval officer of whom am
fond. He had parcel under his arm.
| stopped my carriage.
Come l said. let us have a little
chat-a comfortable little chat
But the naval officer shook his head.
He said hurriedly:
No. l cannot. In this parcel there
is bonnet for my wife Were to stop
and talk, the fashion in bonnets might
change before reached home"
