Bunco Politics,

| To THE FREE PREss,-Why can
not local republican newspapers b.
honest with their readers? Wher
people subscribe for a county news
paper they have a right to expect
chat the local news OF the county
shall be honestly reported without
political bias; but it seems impossi.
BILE for a republican paper to speak
the truth on any political matter
nowadays.
For instance Local republican
newspapers last week stated that
6krepublican votes were cast at the
republican primaries at Reuter-
vile. As matter of fact, only
four votes were voted at the repub-
lican primary at Keuterville, and
Of these four, three were members
of one family.
A similar falsehOOd wae also
stated in regard to the 200 and odd
votes cast at the Cottonwood re-
publican primary election. As q
frozen fact there were only 65 votes
cast at the Cottonwood republican
primary.
The explanation of the publica-
ton of these self.condemnatory
statements is apparent. Cotton
wood and Keuterville are two of
the banner democratic precincts in
Idaho county, as everybody knows,
and the purpose of the republican
leaders was no doubt deliberately
intended to bnnco the taxpayers
OF the county into the belief that
there was a stampede in the DEM
ocratic strongholds out Of the dem
oceatic ranks into the republican
party. 1t is all part Of the DELHI
crate campaign Of misrepresenta-
ton of the present democratic in
cumbents of the county Offices
which has been published by local
republican newspapers ever since
the last election, and upon which
they hope to elect republican Off
Gals next November. The wish
may be father to the thought, but
l assure them that there will never
be a republican landslide in old
Idaho county under the present
republican leadership. A. F. p.

was nearly Eve cents each aggre-
eating nearly $1,000. For this sum
one young lady received . watch.
She is q highly esteemed young
lady and we are glad she has .
watch but the money spent to Sc
sure it would have bought watches
for q whole lot more young ladies
who are also highly esteemed and
then had money left. Such con-
tests are permissible when the
money raised is used for some To-
cal benefit, but when it is paid to
a travelling show company and
carried out of the country we can
not understand how some Of our
best people can become involved in
a scheme that robs them OF their
money and gives nothing but re-
morse and i'll feeling in return.

Republican newspapers through
the country are pokipg fun at the
democratic nominee for vice-pres-
ident on account of his 80 years.
Well, there is Senator Hoar OF
Massachusetts, who is now in. his
S3rd year, Senator Cullom of Iii
nois, aged 10 years, Senator Nor
gan of Alabama who is SO, and
Senators Pettus and Bacon, all Of
whom have attained their SOtl
year, and are among the most act.
i've, influential members of the U.
s. senate chamber. The late Sen.
ator Morrill, Of Vermont was sc
years Of age when he died in the
senatorial harness. All these old
veteran statesmen are as full oil
mental vigor as they ever were.
Wisdom increases with age. They
serve as balance wheel upon the
younger members of the communi.
ty. Gladstone was 81 years old
when he died, and maintained his
full mental faculties down to the
hour OF his death. 1t may not be
amiss to state here that the demo.
cratic party of West Virginia in.
, tended nominating the vice-presi.
dental nominee for governor Of
the state. A man is as young as
he feels, and Davis is as vigorous
and full of mentality as many a
man of so.

The voting contest carried out
here last week by a theatrical COM
pany, whereby the most popular
young lady voted for received a
watch, illustrates phase of foolish
ness which we cannot understand
In the first place the only thing
necessary to get all the votes de-
sired was plenty Of money. To be
sure when you bought the votes
you got some article of question
able value but it was the votes
that prompted the purchase. Two
contests were put through during
the week and in the last one alone
nearly 20, votes were cast.

The st. Louis convention, al
though overwhelmingly hostile to
some of his pet 'isms," treated
Mr.. Bryan handsomely, allowing
him to have large share in the

his treatment at st. Louis, and the

Democrats will note that one OF
the resolutions passed by the Sites
convention says that the national
administration of Roosevelt will
again commend itself to the loyal
and patriotic citizens Of Idaho"
the inference being that all who
decline to support the republican
ticket are disloyal and unpatriotic.
This is always the talk OF the pro-
fessional patriots, who are patriots
for revenue only.

Others than the Russians have their eyes on the smart Japanese. According to Herr woas. who recently addressed the Gehnan Colonial society. Japan's desire for expansion is ''the peculiar and signal danger for the Germans in the Far East" If the Japanese expeI Rus sia from Manchuria the German sphere in shantung is endangered. They are said to believe that as Germany's seiz- ure of Kiaochau led to Russia's seiz- ure of Port Arthur, 50 a Russian oceu- patton of Manchuria would furnish Ger many with fresh opportunities for ex- tending her influence. Japan's success lean. therefore. be hardly desired in Der lin. Commercially also. Japan's sue cess, according to Herr Woas. is Ger, many's loss. Japanese goods already undersell German goods in China. Much more will they oust German wares fl Japan wins in the present war The possession of Kiaochau, they say, is oi little importance to Germany, unless ii is to lead to the practical acquisition of the 52,762 square miles and se,Ooo.Oo0 of population of the province of shan tung. The Japanese profess to be in different to the efforts of Russia to get Germany on her side, but they are said to fear that the Fatherland is not with them.
 If Japan does win in her fight with Russia she certainly will have to De considered by the Powers.

ONCE MORE.

A year ago we were all talking about the Happy New Year. We'll. that year is ending, and those of us who live are again talking about the Happy New Year. Of, course the year that is end E ing and was going to be so happy hasn't been quite as happy as it was going to be, but it has, on the whole, been q good year. The United States has had big crops, in spite of the early talk that it wouldn't. The only crop that is short is wheat, and that is big enough. The cotton crop is so biz that they have been burning cotton in the South to make it smaller. Prosperity, which is based on the crops continues, and though Lawson continues too, the finances of the country are not in g frenzied condition. The Republican party showed itself to be more volumi- nous than even the cotton crop, and we are sure of good government for four more years. The year has been quite thickly sprinkled with pad accidents, big fires, etc, but many and much are left to go into the Happy New Year.
 Let us enter the new year with the same hope that inspired us when we entered this year, or even more It is a good world, though there is heliish war going on. and though female crim- inals seem to be numerous and enter prising. It is well enough to make a few resolutions to help the world by being better ourselves, even if those resolutions don't pan out extensively. They may not utterly fail, and if they don't there will be some gain. The great Dr. Johnson we'll said: No man can know how little his performance will answer to his promises, and de- l lsigns are nothing in human eyes till they are realized by execution. :" Let us have as much execution of our promises as possible in the Happy New l Year.

round hole, then, as he leaned forward before taking the next stride, his com paratively narrow shin had cut a nar- now channel through the crust. and then. as he drew the foot out, he made another round hole, the two holes, of course. being connected by the narrow line made by the skin. I followed this trail also. and it led me straight to an evergreen wood, on the border of which there were several hemlock trees. Here the elk had sauntered along, cutting off the hemlOck twigs as high as he could reach them, leaving the white stump as evidence of his work. Elk are very found of henlock. but for some reason seldom or never touch spruce or white pine They have been known to die of starvation where noth- ing but spruce and pine was to be had. Rounding a bend in the woodland, l saw the elk himself in the distance. quietly browsing. The wind was in my favor. so. under cover of the trees, approached him, making as little noise as I could. He was a fine stag, with one large six pointed antler. It is not yet time for the elk to shed horns, So per haps he had lost his other weapon in combat with some rival. for male elk often fight furiously in the autumn. Suddenly from d not far distant hill side came loud, startling waugh,
 and looking, saw a band of about twenty elk, standing deep in the snow, and watching me intently. There were two or three young stags among them, but most cf them were does and large fawns. A large doe, standing a little apart from the rest, ran for twenty yards along the side of the hill. and then, turning to face me. repeated that significant waugh. But the big, one antlered stag had heard the first warn- ing, and was now stretching his long legs in d swinging trot, as he hurried to join the band. As he reached it, all the elk stood for just a moment, every nose pointed straiht at me, and then wheeling they made for the ton of the hill, where they paused again for moment before swinging rapidly down to the valley beyond and to the shelter of the evergreen woodland.

A FLORIDA NEGRO TOWN.

The most unique town in Florida is Goldsboro. place peopled entirely by about three hundred negroes. Goldsbo. TO is one hundred and twenty-seven miles from Jacksonville, on the Atlantic Coast Line railway, between the FGori da metropolis and Tampa. Within It's precincts no white person or member oi any other nationality is found, and 3 negro mayor and a negro council dic- tates the destinies of the community. A negro postmaster, appointed under democratic administration, has charge of the government mail service, and dark-slpinned night-watchmen look af- ter the stores and shops between sun and sun. The school system is, of course, operated under the regular gut dance of the public school laws of the state, and applicants for positions as pedagogues are examined by the Or ange county school board. Withal, Goldshoro is well governed. There are few racial discords. The town jatl Is in great disrepute, and the population pays its taxes on an average with the ratio of whites in other Florida cornmu- mites. With but few exceptions, ne- groes own every foot of land in Colds boro, and that which they do not own they are buying on the instalment plan from white people who hold deeds for the property. The town is ten years old from a point of incorporation. and there have never been any riots or un- usual disorders to mar its record. The s- N1<s three churches with rapidly growing membership rolls. A unique spectacle on Sundays during the spring and sum naer of each year is to see the devotion- al exercises attendtnt upon the admin istration of the rites of baptism, which is not conducted without loud and fer vent crescendoes of thankfulness.- Mis- sionary Review.

ANorHER nNKIssEn

Gladstone Dowie, son of the feroeious Alexander, but a proper and pretty little man withaL has owned to be- ing unkissed. He comes from Scotland, we believe. where the moral training is so severe that even a box Q whistles (why not Whistles?l in a church has it's doubtful aspect. But fl appears that we have one American who Is also to be kissed. He is a professor Of ming .ralogy and geology-eminently fitting occupations although more than of age he has never smoked, drank or kissed in his life. When this fact was promulgated, through the industry of the Associated Press. he received offers of marriage from all over the world. including England and India. The maids who proposed were anxious to have the first offerings from his maiden mouth. and they also desired kisses that had no flavor of pipes and gin. But their pleadings are in vain. An Ohio school marm has captured him; she has touched a heart that till now responded only to megatheriums and silicates, and if she insists. he will not be able to boast much longer that he is unkissed of woman. What a blooming ehump man is to make a brag of his misfortunes anyway! What a lot of fun he missed. and madei But the blessed fate which overtakes nearly all of us has fallen to him also, and with the kiss presently to be ravished from his rosebud lips his prestige will disap- pear. and there will remain in this broad land not one human being of the male persuasion who will admit that he was too honely, too sour tempered, too i'll dressed, too ungenerous. too timid,
 too protuberant as to teeth, for any
 girI to kiss him. You don't hear girls
 making brags of that sort.-Brooklyn 1 Eagle.
