The gentleman who is carving out
new state-in his mind-for the
panhandle, western Montana, eastern
Washington aud portion Of Oregon,
should not have overlooked the fact
that Standpoint would make an ideal
location for the capital of such an
inland empire. By the time it comes
about Standpoint will be ready to be
an active candidate. North Idaho
News.
Mark Hanna will not manage the
next republican national campaign
because MIR. Roosevelt bore down
heavily ON dishonest scalawags of
the Perry Heath stripe. Every
honest man in the country should
love our. fearless president for the
enemies he has made. Old Mark
belongs in his Doodle class. Any
man who will uphold dishonesty is

The action of Chicago cab drivers
in interfering with funerals because
the carriages were not driven by
union men can only tend to utterly
destroy the influence Of organized
labor. The people generally are in
favor OF and respect labor union so
long as they keep within the bounds
of reason but they are getting tired
Of the unreasonable dictations Of
auarchistic agitators who hold soft
jobs and do nothing but stir up
trouble. Idaho County Free Press.
When taking steps to provide that
theaters are properly constructed,
equipped with every possible facility
for escape and always prepared for
emergencies, il might be we'll TO see
II some way may not be devised for
suppressing the imbeeile who yells
fire" II Is probably the part OF
good judgment to notify people when
they are in peril, but so many idiots
sound the danger signal when it is
unnecessary and thus needlessly
brings on panic, that some means
should be found for dealing with
these public nuisances. Spokesman

Sometime ago the Mirror suggested
that one of the effects Of the strict
enforcement of the pure food Law in
other states would be that Idaho
would be made dumping ground for
much Of these adulterated food pro
ducts. This Is only too true. Last
week carload Of vinegar was CON
demned at Portland and Immediately
shipped to Nampa, Idaho, with in
structions to sell at once and collect
pay. Commissioner Mcpherson got
the tip and was on the ground before
the impure stuff was sold and unload.

are many. Let the people uphold
the administration In their efforts In

An order has been issued by State
Superintendent Of Schools Miss Scott,
requiring all pupils in the state dis.
trict schools to purchase new gram
mars at the beginning of the next
term in January. The change il
made In accordance with a state
statute and to remedy a mistake made
by the former superintendent. We
believe IL was an error, however, to
compel parents to go to the extra ex-
pense at this time. Many Of the
pupils will be promoted and require
new books for the coming autumn,
and there seems to be no good reason
Why the present books should not
answer all proposes until the close of
the present school year. Even though
the expense 10 not large for each
family, nevertheless 1t will be a drag
ON many. coming after the holidays.
The change should by all means have
been made at the opening Of the
year. -Ex.
