1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Borah' S
suggestion that the people, through
their primaries name their choice for
Idaho's next republican senator will
prevail. It's good idea and under
existing conditions, the nearest the
people can get to the election Of SEN
ators by direct vote. 1t is commenda-
Bile in Mr.. Borah that he is willing to
submit his candidacy to the people,
and if he is the peoples choice ought
to get the nomination. Logically it
seems that w. E. Borah is entitled to
the republican nomination. His abil-
ity cannot be questioned, and his
character and achievements point to
him as the logical man for the place.

STOCKHOLM.

From Sweden's capital an enthusiast
tic visitor writes: The sky has an al
most Italian radiance, as the sun shines
clear and bright on the glittering levels
Of the lagoon that divides the old town
from the new. Across the water, on
which feet Of white ferry boats ply,
rises the broad front OF the palace, the
stern outline Of which is relieved by
the russell glow which time has lent TO
the brick work. In front Of the palace
runs a broad quay crowded with ship
ping, behind which one may catch
peeps of narrow, winding streets, with
sloping, roofs and painted houses bent
with age. The square front oil the pal
ace rises above the red and gray roofs.
seeming TO command the old city. On
my right the waters narrow TO swift
rushing stream, over which a stately
bridge has been thrown, uniting the
palace with the picturesque pile OF the
opera house, or, rather, with the broad
square in which it stands. Behind the
opera house lie broad streets Of modern
houses, in which there are unexpected
gimpses of waterways crowded with
shipping.
Stockholm is built on a series OF is
lands, formed by Lake Malaren. 1t is,
indeed, the city of thousand islands,
and rocky reefs, which are sown broad
cast many miles beyond the mainland,
where the lake and rivers join the sea.
The stermers which ply up and down
the lake afford endless excursions.
Seaward you may sail day among the
islands until you reach the long, low
reefs on which the Baltic beats.
In spite Of the cold climate the
Swedes delight in the open air. After
the indoor life Of English or American
cities it is great pleasure to take ones
meals out of doors, although it may
sometimes be necessary 10 dine wrapped
in an overcoat. We have seen people
dining in the Tivoli gardens beneath
awnings and umbrellas in the rain.
This habit may explain the health and
yigor Of the Swedes."

effort looking towards change in our
law whereby the tax would be equal

is MCCONNELL A LIAR?

When w. ]. Mcconnell says The
present Office holders OF Latah county
advanced money to circuit to purchase
the Troy News and are now or ever
have diverted the tax payers money
from the county treasury to assist in
sustaining it," he tells. an unqualified
lie, and utters that which makes him
guilty Of criminal libel. And this old
blk goes on TO say that he will, when
the proper time arrives, tell the tax
payers why their taxes are high" In
sinuating that the county officials are
stealing county funds for the purpose
of supporting this paper. Now, Mr..
Mcconnell, if you will take the trouble
to investigate, you can find on file an
itemized statement of every dollar ever
paid to the Troy News by Latah county
for printing or anything else. You will
find that during the past year since
circuit" has been in charge less than
5000 has been paid this paper for work.
You may, if you wish, have those bills
printed, and we are ready to say that
even you cannot show that the county
has been overcharged. You knew this
when you made the assertion, or else
you are guilty OF making serious
charge against our county officials
without first knowing what you were
talking about. Now, Governor, were
you ignorant Of the facts or are you a
malicious liar7 There was no excuse
for the first and if you are guilty of the
latter you are certainly deserving Of the
contempt of every decent citizen o
Latah county.

1t is not a question of how much
wealth man has but how he got it.
The richest man on earth may be
mean and low and immoral; he may be
a thief, and all that the word, in its

denotes character; its possession does
not guarantee even one virtue or a
single noble impulse.
