POLITICAL sIruArEp.

The political situstioa IN ldano
state politics. so far as the republi
cans ale concerned, seems to be badly
mixed. The governor wants re-
nomination and most Of the other
state officers would not object to
being indcrsed by their party, in
convention assembled, for a second
term, but the trouble with them Is to
know which band wagon to ges into.
The governor and his supporters claim
that they will control the convention,
while Chairman Gooding is booming
NJ. y. Ruiek, the Boise attorney,
and Francis Jenkins claims that his
gubernatorial boomlst has spread
over the state until be will be able
10 swing a majority OF the delegates
and secure the nomination. G. W.
Beal is an aspirant for the congress
soinal nomination against Burton
French, present representative, while
French Is lined up with the federal
CEONd anu - " aAAAh8 VIVA NA~SA -
Hepburn. All Of these candidates
lay great claim to 9 big following,
which makes the situation 80 IN
certain to the state officers, other
than the governor, who are seeking a
denomination. They all wish to
remain loyal to the governor II he Ia
to win in the convention and If not,
they want to travel with the winner.
That Is what makes the situation sc
painful to them and leaves the party
90 much leaders at sea regarding the
probable outcome. TIE situation Il
certainly interesting and the demo
Gratis ought to proat By it. Harmony
and q good ticket will go far TOWARD
Fedeeming the state to democracy
and low taxes.

FOR A PUBLIC book

There 10 9 growing need Of city
dock where the farmers around the
lake may tie up their roWbOats when
they come to town and where the
smaller steamers and saii boats may
find a landing. The city has one
opening to the lake on Second street
and should soon take steps to
build a suitable wharf for the accom-
mediation Of the public. There are
ample accommodations at the railway
docks for the larger steamers to take
on passengers and freight and dis
charge the same, especially such bust
ness as may be transferred to or from
the railway lines, and the smaller
steamers may find 1t convenient TO
land at these docks oScasioually, bul
the bulk OF their business il Of a
local Llture and public dock would
prove not only convenient to them
but Of great benefit TO the city IN the
way Of encouraging the raDchers TO
come here TO trade IL petition Ia
circulated by the people requesting
the city fathers to take the matter up
and build dock here - no reason
why the matter cannot be successful
ly carried out. The state Law gives
the city ample authority to build and
regulate docks, to fin charges and
have general supervision over the
same. \ public dock has become a
public necessity and il some one will
start the petition We feel certain the
board Of trustees will give the matter
its careful consideration.

Mayor Scallon's message to the
board Of trustees, delivered at Wed
nesday evenings session, contains
many good suggestions and II they
are carried out the administration OF
the new board will prove successful
and most satisfactory to the people.
His recommendation are eonserva-

for the law without resorting to ex-
tremes either way. In fact 1t Is broad
in the sense of recognizing the rights
Of all classes under the law and does
not promise to undertake any i'm
practical reforms, while it holds that
all social evils should be held In
check to the greatest possible degree.

c. A. Smith is suffering from a

Mr.. William Pruett, who will be seen at

Washingtonian by birth and is very well
remembered In comic opera. He has made

unfortunate woman servant. a secret pas

Growth Of Humor IN ireland.

From the National Review. a. =
So far from declining, humora has grown
and increased in Ireland @lndeed,- IL we go
back further still to the early literature to
which SO much attention is directed just
now, / think We shall find that there was
no humor at all in Ireland In the days Of
which it treats. So far at least, as have
made acquaintance with It, lean find none.
but my knowledge is very slight. and II
I am mistaken. hope somebody who knows
better will correct me. At alI events, the
most curiously un-Irish element to me in
this Gaelic revival Is the lack of llumor
in the whole movement though perhaps the
portentous solemnity with which its pio-
neers treat their own merits and discuss
their own talents, the utter and absolute
seriousness with which they take them
selves and. each other, reveals depth Of
unconscious humor which does some credit
to their nationality. Anyhow, II we are
not as humorous in Ireland today as our
great-grandfathers were, we are at least
more humorous than the folk who people
the Ireland with which Mr. Yates and DR..
Douglas Hyde have made us acquainted.
For myself. can only saw that in the
Gaelic Ireland of those far past days I
have never met with SO much as the ghost
Of smile.

EZRA KENDALL'S HAT.
They Have Come to the Parting of the
Ways at Last.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Ezra Kendall and his famous tall hat
have come to the parting of the ways
Through the interference of "Weatherbeat-
en- Benson" they have been separated, and
according to Mr.. Kendall, the divorce is for
all time.
II don't want people to believe that
carry my brains In that tall hat" he says.
But even my friends are knocking me for
not wearing it. Now don't you think it is
better for me to be criticised for laying it
aside than it is for them to complain that
1 can't act without it? / would rather have
them say Why doesn't he wear the hat?
than to have them remark, There's Kendall
with that same old hat. l wonder If the
man can't act without it, You see, 1 wish
to be regarded as something more than the
funniest thing you ever saw That isn't
nice thing to say about man of my age.
I want to have a firm place with the solid
people-with the home circle.
LAS Joker man can't live forever. Not
that l. want to live forever, but want to
live a while, and to live while do live. A
man with six small children to take care
of has to have his eye open for living
IT believe firmly that there is always
room for the homely play which carries the
laugh with it. People may enjoy and laugh
at musical comedies and French farces and
society plays, but, for all those. they will
find q. place for the homemade play with
the homespun characters"

Mime. Nina David.

AS the date approaches, interest in the
local appearance of Manager Robert Grau' s
vocal discovery, Nina David, increases. Mr..
Grau's confidence in his star is evidenced
by the fact that he brings her to Wash
ington before her New York appearance,
despite the fears and suggestions of friends
that a later appearance in this city would
be more advisable. But not only will Nine.
David make her first appearance here; 1t
will be her initial concert in America, and
at this concert she will sing such COM
parison-inviting numbers the waltz song
from Romeo and Juliet" and Felicien Da-
vid's La Perle du Bresil.' Miss David s
only appearance in this city will be at the
Columbia Theater, Sunday evening, October
D. and the sale of seats and boxes for her
appearance will begin at the theater next
Thursday morning.
