The Surprise Party.

A good amusement for a young
folks party IS the package game"
kfter the children are assembled, each
one IS given q large, neatly wrapped
package OF course It is addressed to
him or her 70 whom il is handed. The
receiver opens it eagerly, only to find
that inside is another wrapping ad-
dressed TO another member OF the
party. This causes much fun in the
exchange, and in the surprise. As
many wrappings may be inside as the
1ostess cares to have, but in the last
is a little gift appropriate TO the real
recipient. Each wrapper bears a new
ZANE.

The Republican county conven-
ton meets at Rath1rum next Tues
day. Will it would be rather
difficult to pick the winners of the
convention as relates to the county
ticket, there is little OF uncertainty
as relates to the general lines upon
which the convention will organ
ize. The Hoffman faction will be
in undisputed control, and the
delegates to the state convention
will favor the denomination of Gov
ernor Morrison and Congressman
French. Charles l.. Hoffman will
be the dominant leader, with an
able body of active and loyal lieu
tenants to assist him.
The feeling of certainty of Re-
publican success this year has
brought out large number of can
didates for places on the county
and legislative ticket, aud the con-
vention will have an abundance of
good material from which to select
it's nominees.
Vim. Ashley, Jr. is being talked
of as heading the legislative ticket,
as the candidate for state senator.
For sheriff, Edwin Doust is still
regarded as the coming man.
For treasurer, the present incum
bent, Mr.. Fitzs~mnSas, and Mr.
Ross are pitted against each other
For county attorney there are NJ

splendid victory in this county.
His success has placed him in the
front rank of the successful and
skillful politi,al organizers of the
state. In no county will they have
harder fight than in Kootenai
yet Mr.. Heitmsn completely routed
his opponents. One of the secrets
of Mr.. Heitman's success is the
confidence that his supporters have
in him. There Is nothing deceptive
about Charles l.. Heitman, He
is honest and conscientious. He is
morally and physically brave. He
uses Legitimate weapons. He scorns
all dirty methods. He could not
win year after year if he resorted
TO the cheap trickery made use OF
by his opponents in many in
stances. His neighbors put the
correct estimate upon his character
when they endorsed him by the
magnificent vote of 322 to SO after
the mos. bitter and determined
effort to defeat him in his owl
town. MIR. Hoffman is one of tn,
coming men of Idaho.

Attack of a Cur.

A cur ashamed of his own name
has an article in the last issue of
the Progress over the name of
"One-of- Them"
The author of the attack is a cur
on general principles because he
attempts to slur and insult a
woman.
When a man seeks revenge
against his fellow man by attack
ing and slurring the good name of
woman, be is not only eur but
a coward, and he is not fit to pol
lutte the atmosphere of a respect
able community.
The whole tenor of the article is
lie. Self respect will not permit
us to reply to this social viper.
If thu statements made in the
HERALD were not true as to the
actions of certain politicians, they
would have betn replied to in the
usual way and not by slurs anc
insults against an innocent women
The enmity of the Anonymous
cur is a recommendation to any
man or women.

THE editor of the HERALD has
all respect for an upright Demo-
crat, such as the n men and women
who voted at the Democratic pri-
mary last Monday. But it is alto
gether a different thing when
Democrats vote a Republican pri-
mary or Republicans vote at a
Democratic primar7. That is de-
feating the intent and spirit of the
primary law and a fraud against
the elective franchise. If there is
anyone who disaprroves of this, lei
them make the most of it..
