AFTER HEITMANS SCALP
A ISLANDER THAT FAILED
The North Idaho News Makes a Serious
Charge and Eats Rig Dish Of Grow
warriug Elements Clash and Defeat
ed Faction Meets Second Waterloo.

Charles L. Hoffman, chairman Of
the republican central committee, is
on the warpath over an article that
appeared In a recent issue Of the
North Idaho News charging him with
sending an affidavit to Washington in
which he said that one Thomas A,
Murray, an applicant for the position
of superintendent of the Priest river
forest reserve, was physically dis
abled and unfit for the position.
Upon reading the News Islander,
Hoffman at once tetegraphed Senator
Hepburn and received a reply which
would seem to place the News in
very unenviable position before the
public. The telegram and the
senator's reply speak for themselves
and are printed below:

Mining operations on the upper
st. Joe river, from whence a number
of very promising prospects have been
reported at various times in the past
few years, are active this winter.
Among the most promising of these
is the Manhattan, about six miles
above the head of navigation on
Mineral creek.
This company has recently been re-
organized, aud has a double shift at
work, which will be continued all
winter. The work is in charge of
A. L. Wayne, an experienced mining
man, who has been elected general
manager, and has personal super
vision of the work. Mr.. Wayne says
that a we'll defined lead carry ing

DAN cuPID's PROBLEM

With the army against him and the
church divided the little blind deity is
surely up against it. He probably re-
CARDS the stab recently dealt him by
the church as the most unkindest cut,
for d. Cupid certainly had every reason
to expect fair treatment from the
cloth. But here We have a New York
minister raising his voice against the
custom of spooning. This minister,
Rev. Richard Mattiee he is, occupies
a parsonage that looks upon grove
without intending to spy upon cou-
ples," he says demurely, I'VE often look
out of the window of the parsonage
and see them sitting in the grove, kiss
ing and hugging until it has become
tiresome."
More sharp than serpents tooth,
certainly, IS this ingratitude 1t is not
difficult, indeed, TO imagine young Gu
pid Indignantly dropping his arrows
and upbrafding the church in a fash
ion something like this: "And pray,
sir. if there were no marrying and no
giving in marriage, where would you
be? Eliminate the marriages and the
christenings that make the church the
center of peaceful domestic life and
how long do you think you would sur
vive? And are you so old and so cam.
tankerous that you cannot remember
that counting is a preliminary to mat
rimony? Go tol You are a fault
finder and a shortsighted one at that
You do not know on which side your
bread is buttered."
But while he might thus braveiy
turn upon his detractors, 1t cannot be
denied that Dan Cupid has fallen upon
evil times Gen. Gorbin and the
coed are his admitted foes. II the
church adds its number to make a
trio, who can predict with any degree
of certainty that the blind god will
win out? To be sure he has always
found a way in the past, but in many
respects the past differs from the pres
ent. In the past, at least, he was GER
tain Of the young man and the maiden.
Today he is sure of neither. And the
saddest part of it is that the very ones
from whom he might expect help are
turning from him. Surely it is a knot
ty problem that Dan Cupid has to solve
in this twentieth century.

for his already overeharged feelings.
With dimmed eyes he gazes upon the

a subdued and deeply moved deputa-
tion moves on. 1t is campaigning Of
the soul-stirring variety. It sounds to
its very depth the emotion of strong
men. 1t is better than any allusion
to starry banners or to inaHenable
rights. More taetful and much wiser,
too.
And it is picturesque feature Of a

reason why the general public must
admire it, even il it is not convinced
by it. For it cannot deny that a voy-
age Of discovery, made in the interest
of the Republican party, is unique

very audibly, that after all it is not SO

who has sought to inform himself full
ly, except the Dunn managers-and
we have no means of finding out what
they believe will be the outcome.
There is practical assurance that F.
G. Winston will defeat Ray w. Jones
for lieutenant governor. It is known
certainly that Jones will lose several
strong Republican counties, and it is
better than an even chance that VIM
ston will run ahead of johnson in Otter
Tail and some of the northern coun-
ties. Mr.. Winston has made magnifi-
cent campaign, and besides being the
strongest man except Johnson on the
ticket has the advantage Of being OPP
posed by the weakest man, except
Dunn. on the opposition ticket.
The other nominees on the Demo-
cratic ticket have greatly impressed
the people during the campaign. Judge
Lovely, Judge Otis and Mr.. Hall will
run well along with the head of the
ticket, and there is a prospect that
others on the ballot win be elected.
Cleve Van Dyke appears to be slated
to beat Buckman for congress, and
there is strong ground for expecta-
ton that one or two other Democrats
will be successful in the congressional
contests.
The county campaign has been re-
markably quiet, interest in the COVER
norship fight overshadowing every 9TH
er issue. The Republicans have been
practically without organization and
the individual nominees have been
campaigning quietly by means of small
meetings. The Democrats have had
much the better organization, their
meetings have indicated considerable
enthusiasm and they should be gen.
orally successful. 1t is probable that
the Democrats. in addition to electing
their other candidates, will take the
offices Of sheriff and auditor from the
Republicans and that the Democratic
nominees for district judge will be
elected. At least four of the legis-
lative nominees will be elected by the
Democrats,
Altogether the outlook is more than
satisfactory, and there will be no sense
of duty left undone in case the out
come is not quite up to the present
expectation of the men who have made
the fight. The campaign in the state
has been thorough, and the verdict
must be satisfactory, for there now
appears ne possibility that the jury
will be packed.

DEMOCRACY AND THE PHILIP
PINES

To the Editor of The Globe:
questions:
1. Why do the Democrats think that
the United States should grant the Fill
pinos independence now?
2. What makes you think that they are
,sla1 capable . Of setting up their own govern
3- Does II make any difference as to
the development of the people, who
governs them?
4. What has been the cost, to the
United States. of the Philippines up to
the present time?
For receiving immediate answer on
these questions would be utmost thank
fuL Edwin Johnson.
Cokato, MINI, Nov. 4.
1. Democrats do not think anything
Of the kind, and no Democrat within
our knowledge has made any such
statement. Democrats believe that this
country should declare it's purpose to
give government to the Philip
pines in future, just as it promised the
same to Cuba. Nobody has yet offered
one sincere reason why it should not.
2. What makes you think they are
not? Who has the right to declare any
people forever incapable of self-gov-
ernment? Read your declaration of in
dependence; and behind it lies the
immutable conviction of all true lovers
of liberty, of which that declaration is
merely the formal expression.
8. We thought so in ITS. That
such question can even be asked sug-
gests the tremendous drift of Repub-
licanism away from American ideas.
Does it make any difference to a peo-
pie who governs them? What would
Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln
have thought of that? 1t is a question
that could never have been asked
seriously in the United States prior to
the administration of Theodore Roose-
velt
4. Authorities differ. Extreme Demo-

Trades and LaborAssembIy Dis
CusSeS Amendments

A mass meeting under the auspices
or the Trades and Labor assembly was
held in Federation hall yesterday, sew
eral speeches being made in favor of
the adoption of the amendment to the
charter making it incumbent upon the
board of school inspectors to furnish
free. books to public school children in
the grades.
The speakers We're Carl G. Schulz,
assistant state superintendent of pub
lie instruction; Prof S. A Farnsworth,
principal of the Cleveland high school:
G.. A. Fisher, member of the board of
school inspectors; Rev. David Morgan,
of the Bethel, and William Templeman,
president of the Trades and Labor as
sembly. the latter presiding.
All the speakers were decidedly for
text books, and used extensive argu-
ments in favor of the adoption of the
system. Mr.. Schulz contended that
free books are being furnished in most
OF the progressive cities of the West,
and that the aggregate cost of the
books would be greatly reduced if the
city purchases for all the pupils.
Prof. Farnsworth said that he felt
sure that much larger per cent of
the pupils would go through the high
schools If books were furnished in the
grades. The necessity of purchasing
books had in many instances within
his knowledge compelled parents to
take their children from the schools at
tender age. He believed that the taxes
are paid by the people, and that If
there is a slight increase it would be
collected back from the persons who
rent.
Inspector Fisher had years ago be-
come acquainted with the free text
book system, and was thoroughly in
favor of its adoption in st. Paul.
Rev. David Morgan gave several in
SfanHac
to purchase the necessary books and
Of other cases where children had
been taken from the school and had
since been compelled to accept menial
employment because of their lack of
education. He believed it would be of
great benefit to st. Paul if the free
text book system is adopted.
Mr.. Templeman eontended that the
interest of the workingmen demanded
that the children be thoroughly edu-
Gated, as in such case they would re-
fuse to work for meager wages, thus
improving the condition of all the
working people. The only way this
can be accomplished, he said, is to
make the books as free as the build
ings and the seats.
All of the speakers ridiculed the
claim that contagious diseases might
be spread by the adoption of the sys-
tenn, pointing to the public library
and secondhand book stores as being
far from dangerous in this line. They
also contended that under the free text
book system the books are far better
cared for than under the individual
ownership plan.

The Kentucky Bellies at the Star

A rousing entertainment is provided for
the patrons of the Star this week
number OF good speeialties, songs and
funny situations have been strung on the
title "Murphys Masquerade" by John III
Reid, the Irish comedian, who appears TO
much better advantage than on any pre-
VlouS occasion. He was accorded much
applause for his efforts yesterday. Reid
IS surrounded by number of burlesoue
favorites. who help to make the show
success.
1nterspersed throughout the perform
ance are the following Specialties: Aleene
and Hamilton give their acrobatic dance
and some pointed personalities very pleas
ing1y. Terry and Elmer continue to pre-
sent their popular act. "The Dancing
Missionary" in which Terry dances in an
original and groteSque fashion The Re-
lance quartette are good singers and
pleased the audience. though their seIec..
tions are a trifie stale. Reid and Gilbert
perform a lot Of funny nonsense in a bur-
lesque drama.
A splendid speciality of the acrobatic
variety Is that presented by the three
Luigi brothers. The eldest of the trio is
scarcely of age and the other two are
mere boys, but they do one of the best
tumbling stunts of the season
Miss Jessika and Dave Broderick con-
tribute some good songs and comedy to
the entertainment OF several popular
songs The Pansy and the OWL" 1.-THE
18th of March" and The Tangled Skein''
are especially good. The latter is a pleas
ing melody which the company sang most
commercially. The chorus is attractive
and lively.
