Reports that Japanese reinforcements
are arriving. taken in connection with
the enforced inactivity Of the Russian
forces on account OF the weather, are
believed TO be a grave factor In the
situation. There is reason to believe
the Japanese are drawing heavily on

Miss Scott, state superintendent
OF schools, submitted an interesting
report to the state teachers associ-
alton reviewing the work of the past
year. The, report says in part /;
"The educational outlook in Idaho
at the present time is in many re-
spects very encouraging. The sum
of $500, 900 has been expended for
public school purposes during the
year 1908; this includes of course.
bonds for the erection and equipment
of buildings; however We do not
measure the value of our educational
system in the state by the sum of
money spent. Nevertheless funds
are very necessary for the maintain
ance of schools and building up of a
school system. Next to the common
and graded schools the most i'm
portant working part Of a school
system is the high school. The
average citizen, | am inclined to be-
lieve, regards the high school as
mainly a college preparatory school.
To afford preparation for college is
certainly one of the important func-
tions of this department. Through
the services Of the high school in
this direction vast number of
young men and women whose par
ents could hardly have given the
preparatory training away from
home, have been enabled to secure
for them not only the preparation
which is necessary to enter college
but an earning power which has made I
It possible for them to pay their I
way through college. The high .
school places within the reach Of I
every ambitious youth the oppor-
unity Of acquiring an education in
many ways equal to what the college
gave their parents. The high school 4
should be extended as rapidly as
possible until the whole state can
hare in its benefits and privileges.
IDAHO has today something ike
wenty high schools. Nearly 500
graduates were sent out from these
chools last year. A course Of uni
-ersity work was prepared for the
Ugh schools Of this state in Septem-
er, 1901. with few exceptions.

endorsed this view. and good times
followed. Four years was not sum
GENTLY long to convince the Democ-
racy of its error and another national
defeat in 1900 followed TO emphasize
the country's disapproval OF the silver
notion. This time the lesson was
taken TO heart, and this year we see
the Democrats in national convention
declaring that gold is not an ISSUE
while their presidential nominee
frankly declares himself irrevocably in
favor of the gold standard-the same
position held constantly by the Repub-
lican party. Score another point for
the grand old party Another issue
eliminated by general acceptance OF
the Republican principle.
The third great issue that we heard
great deal about four years ago was
expansion or imperialism, This, too,
has passed away as political factor.
Everybody recognizes that the Phil
ippines and Porto Rico are ours. that
the pledges to Cuba have been fulfilled
and that the Republican policy has
been one OF wisdom and justice. The
only difference between the parties
now, according to their platforms on
this question, relates to the details OF
administration if the Democrats
were in control it is altogether i'm
probable that these islands would note
any change whatever in the regula-
tons governing them.
So we see that all three OF these old
issues are practically settled-settled
the Republican way-and there is no
marked difference in the attitude Of
the two parties toward them. In fact,
the policy OF the country for the next
four years is well marked out already.
The only real issue today is the detail
relating TO the men in control
whether the Republican policy so sue
cessfuny worked ont and so generally
endorsed shall be lett in the hands OF
a man ike Theodore Roosevelt. or
whether that same policy shall be
worked out according to the Parkerian
standard. It's personal issue. Shall
the country endorse Roosevelt for his
qualities OF independence, courage,
virtue and wisdom. or shall il take
alarm at Roosevelt's alleged unsafe
ness, pugnacity, abruptness and au-
tocracy and put Parker at the helm
That's the issue, and the only real
difference between the parties this
year.

Orange county Republicans are most
certainly entitled 10 their own views
on the liquor law question just the
same as other people are, but, if they
are planning to mask any assault upon
the local option law by the good
Lord good-devil resolutions passed at
their recent convention, it is time the
friends of the law were on their guard.
Every town representative should
pledge himself to stand on the Republi-
can state platform, and Orange county
Republicans cannot shirk that respon-
sibility by evasive resolutions. Those
who are not for us are against us every
time. Remember that.-ISt. Adams
Messenger.
Orange county Republicans are un-
questionably not favorable to local
option as a principle. They have been
consistent about it from the beginning.
But they do not mediate treachery to
the state platform, and are disposed to
give the present law the full, free and
fair trial. the state platform demands.

FISHING IN LAKE cHAMPLAlN.

Mr.. EDITOR As | have for fifteen
years spent my vacations mainly fish
ing in Lake Champlain, and am much
interested in preserving the fish in
that beautiful lake, will you allow me
TO suggest what seems to me a lament
able defect in our law or the enforce
ment Of 1t
Early in May last | was in Milton.
While there declined a pressing invi-
tation to 90 10 the Lamoille river TO
"catch" pike. The fish were said to
be in the river in such quantities that
one man hooked up bag nearly
full; another nearly one hundred
many others reported large hauls.
There was no secret whatever about
this. II was done openly, by men who
claimed they were angling within
the law. The news OF the various
catches was telephoned about from
house to house. / was told that a
large number engaged in the sport. Cd
The pike are steadily decreasing in the
lake.
viii you also permit me a word in
favor OF the much maligned, but gamy
old pickerel? Every year / meet
many campers who come to the lake
from different states, have fished and
sat at the table with them and know
that for most of them the chief attrac-
ton afforded by the fishing Is in troll
ing for pickerel,n and though il may
be considered rank heresy by some. ]
Join with very many others in believ-
ing the lake pickerel TO be fully the
equal of the wall-eyed pike or the bass
as a table fish. Notwithstanding this,
when the water covers the marsh near
the mouth OF the Lamoille river in the
early spring, about one foot in depth,
the large pickerel 90 there in great
numbers and "sportsmenn (0-May

There is no question whatever about
these facts. have talked with many
who regretted the practice as ruinous
to lake fishing, but justified themselves
by saying that if others were permit
ted to do it, they might as well get
their share.
Old fishermen tell me that the fishing
is not what II has been. IL is not so
good as when 1 first visited the lake
II the slaughter continues to be per-
mitted, it is much better fishing today
than it will be. If there are those who
think it policy to exterminate the
pickerel in the lake. / fear it will
prove mistaken policy, and that they
will destroy one of the principal at
fractions for city visitors.
If the effect OF these lines is such as
to provoke a discussion of the subject,
the writer will feel that we are in a
fair way to have defects in our fishing
laws remedied. and the good laws en-
forced. CHAs. p. TARBELL.

1t is properly suggested that a gen.
eral system of political picnic rallies
along the lines of the very successful
one at the "Belfry" would likely arouse
special enthusiasm and draw out a
big vote in September. 1t is a fact
that the old-fashioned "dry" rally, with
speaker or two and perhaps a flag
raising, with a band or drum corps
thrown it, has lost its drawing power.
We need novelty-new features to at
tract the crowds. Let us have the
speakers and the bands and the flags,
but let's try the outdoor picnic, with a
barbecue, clambake or other refresh
ment feature for a change. Most every

towns could assemble. enjoy a days
