Political Oriftwood

Reese DAVIS occupies Il unique posi-
ton at the present time. He is
against ethe state central committe
and in favor of Morrison. He is against
the Statesman and in favor of Wooley.
He is against church influence in Cald-
we'll politics. and in favor of having
the Mormon church leaders use any in
fiuence they can for the republican
party. 1t wouldn't amount to so much
if Reese wasn't one of the brainiest
editorial writer's in the state, and a
power in the republican ranks. But as
he is, his positiin cuts lot of ice just
at present.-Montpelier Examiner.
There is but one logical candidate
before the republican party of Idaho
today for the nomination for governor
and that man is John T. Morrison. who
at present fills that office with such
faithfulness to his trust, loyalty to his
party and credit to himself that to al
low his splendid services to go unre-
warded by second term. such as has
been the custom in American politics
since the nation began. would be to
endanger the success of the party at
the polls: for to those who are uninitia-
ted into the intricacies Of strife within
the party. by which good men are often
turned down, such action would have
the appearance of a reputation of the
splendid administration of state at
fairs enjoyed under our present chief
executive. by the very party which ele-
waited him to power.-Payette Isde-
pendent
No one. with a true appreciation IL

mire the skill and strategy of the
GoodingStanrod forces. They are
playing the game for all it is worth in
true sportsmanlike manner. It is a lib
eral education in practical politics to
observe the plays. and note the points
made. True. they may sot accomplish
all they wish to. but nobody can say
that they did not do all that could be
done under the circumstances.-Cald-
we'll Tribune.
No county in the state has a better
right to liberal treatment at the hands
Of the republican state convention this
fall than Nez Perez county has. It will
be acknowledged by anyone who has
studied the conditions that the claims
Of this county for recognition are we'll

est vote Of any county in the state and
the republican majorities have not
been small. In Nez Perez county may
be found men thoroughly capable Of
handling every ONCE in the state, and
for whom the republicans of the state
would be proud to cast their votes. Let

headed citizens are recognizing tho extent
of the evil that has crcpt so subtly into the
homes and hearts Of their countrymcn
The clergy in particular, are waking up
to it and many of them are absolutely re-
fusing to marry divorced persons One
New York minister has prepared blanks
that must be filled in and sworn to. the
design being to avoid marrying divorced
persons through their making false repre-
sensations. as many do. The churches.
too. have recently taken first practical
step toward the better observance of the
sanctity of the marriage tie. In con-
ference on divorce at the parish house OF
st. Bartholomew, New York. a pledge
was recommended for clergymen of each
denomination not to marry members of
any other denomination when the ccrc-
mony could not be performed by minister
of that church under its law.
This, of course. is only step. It would
merely prevent the marriage of divorced
Episcopalians and Roman Catholics by
ministers of other churches. The parties
could readily find some other way of ac-
comprising their purpose. But tho mere
holding of such a conference shows that
the churches realize the need of action in
the matter and the opposing moral inhu-
ence thus set in motion Is bound to work
for good.

THE TWO ONE.EYED MEN.
BY jean Eichepin.

At that time, about twenty-five years
ago, I lived at the top of the rue Saint
jacques and every day, to earn my mis-
BILE bread. | was forced to 20 to the
very end of the rue des Martyrs. Here
/ would spend the morning and then,
after a hasty lunch at cheap restau
rant. return to my lodgings again.

secondly. because | loved the exercise
and the lazy sauntering of the walk

forth and it was pleasanter still to re-
gale my weary eyes with the ever chang
ing aspects of the street
Among these. there were certain sights
that never changed and which owed their
| especial charm to their monotony alone.
Regularly. every morning, little before
nine O'Clock. at one end of the rue deS
Martyrs, near a porte-cochere standing
at the right, l would always meet beg
gar to whom / gave sou with an ut
| tcrly mechanical gesture.
Not less regularly on my way home,

themselves, except for the fact that

| l will not seek to explain why, there

| that the beggar of the rue des Martyrs
| was blind in his left eye and the besgar
of the rue Saint Jacques was blind in

strangely alike and yet unlike. The gen.
tleman Of the rue des Martyrs was, as
have said, blind in his left eye. and
! wore A heavy black overcoat OF rough
cloth and a cap that drew down over his
ears. while he of the rue Saint jacques
who was blind in his right eye, was
| dressed in lighter coat and bell

EVILS OF DIVORCE.
(From the Brattleboro Reformer)

The chief evil of divorce arises from the
fact that our laws, instead of being used
merely as a means of escape from condi-
lions that have become intoerable have
been seized upon to serve the purposes of
wanton caprice. tickle fancy and gross in
fidelity. Tho conditions which have re-
suited from their misuse may perhaps rep

Mormons, but they are not so different

the State mas seen in modern times, and
the PRICES Of all lumber have been at

lower prices. Tut, of course, the principal
element to contribute to decrease in price
will be decrease in demand owing to gem
