WHILE not n complete republi.
can victo Try, the election results
are nevertheless to some extent
gratifying to the loyal republi-
cans OF t he county. Considering
the odds the victory won is
quite sat isfactory. 1t disproves
the demo cratic claims that they
would wiz by 1900 majority.
1t shows that the Mormon
issue, while it influenced many,
was not all powerful. 1t dis
closes that the "bolters" were
not SO powerful as many had
supposed. 1t clearly indicates
that the old time leaders and the
new men who have come into the
county d uring the past few years
We're admirably loyal and true to
their party and in the main had
turned a deaf ear to the disloyal
counsels OF the disaffected. In
short, the result holds much
promise that two years hence
the grand old party will present
the same solid phalanx which, as
in the pa St, will bring it over
whelming victory.

A Bad Fire.

Nj. L. Snardard of Moab, ten
miles west of Rathdrum had the
misfortune to lose his home last
Friday morning by fire. Mrs.
Snardard had stepped over to see
a neighbor and had left her eight
months old child in the house.
The fire completely consumed the
house and effects as we'll as the
child which was in buggy. A
laborer working nearby detected
the oder of burning cloth and
hurried over to the house and,
pushing the door open pulled out
the buggy which was all ablaze at
the time, and was Mortified to find
the charred remains of child,
and in putting out the fire in the
buggy he was severely burned.

THE NEW CIVIC SPIRIT.

Civic progress is asserted by Chas.
Zueblin to be greater in the last de-
cade than if all our previous national
| history. The advance sheets of a
new book by him called "A Decade of
Civic Development" soon to be pub
lished by the University of Chicago
press, show an enthusiasm about ou'
own times which seems IKE a proph-
ecy.
He gives reasons for the faith that
is in him and marks ours as a quite
distinct epoch in social development
This progress is due to the new civic
spirit which makes present ideals
very different from those of the last
century. The change as he defines it
is from characteristics that were theo-
logical and individualstic to those
that are ethical and social.
AS result of this change partici-
patton in the life of the masses has
become the ambition of a portion Of
the new generation. Zueblin is not
one of those philosophers who are
greatly alarmed because of our ad-
vance in material prosperity
He admits that the comforts of
prosperity are apt to produce too
much complacency and a benumbing
optimism, and that the democratic
spirit is compelled to fight against
this; but material prosperity is a
thing which the nobler properties
can use and build upon. AS he puts
it the logical steps in civic progress
are prosperity, leisure, culture.
So prosperity providing the leisure
makes the culture possible. The ills
that of old time resulted from wealth
and luxury will be avoided because of
this new civic spirit which has so
wonderfully developed. The idea of
social responsibility that is held so
widely today is quite opposite from
the thought of the nineteenth century.
Democracy, fraternity, freedom of
social expression are being more tru-
" realized, and from this has come a
new dynamic force able to remake the
American community.

SUPPLIES" FOR PANAMA GA
NAL LABORERS.

Alfred Anderson, purchasing agent
for the canal commission, admitted
that most of these goods had been
purchased by him with a portion of
the 100000 which the government
has appropriated for the waterway
Referring to some of the supplies
mentioned, Mr.. Anderson said: "They
are necessities for our employees down
there. Take suit-cases. for example
Some of the men may desire to visit
others. How are they to carry their
clothes If they have no suit-cases? 4?
Then their families may wish to en-
tertain each other. Tea sets and cut
lery are necessary, too, 1 think you
will readily admit"
Concerning canal supplies, the News
correspondent says: THE same prac-
tical and business-like spirit that has
provided these luXuries named for the
colored laborers on the isthmus, and
which recently imported shiploads of
women relatives of those laborers from
Jamaica, has forestalled practically
every wish the men might express.
Why, there is nothing in the world
that YOU can suggest which we have
not sent to Panama. said Mr.. Ander-
son, his face lighting up with a smile
of proud satisfaction. You see, we
have the whole purchasing work for
the New York district he added, and
it's mighty big, can tell you. Were
all these things purchased after pub
lie advertisement for bids?' Mr.. An
derson was asked. Well no. he re-
piled. We endeavor to purchase
everything that the canal commission
needs by public advertisement, but
you see 1 am purchasing agent for the
Panama railroad, as we'll as for the
commission. OF course. the railroad
belongs to the United States govern
ment, the same as the waterway does.
" Mr. Shonts is president of the
railroad and canal commission. But
we endeavor to keep the two under
takings separate. So when anything is
requested from us on an emergency
order, we rush out and buy it without
waiting to advertise for bids" :,

IN JANUARY.

The pines and hemlocks were awake
all night
Down through the country side,
How could they sleep
While great stormbirds from the
upper deep
Swept through them in their flight?
All the night long they never paused
for rest,
While the white flock resistlessly
drove by
To find broad pastures meath the
midnight sky
Whereon to make their nest.
The farm roofs shuddered at the
trees complaint,
And from the migrant hosts that
hurried past
Their thousands wavered. strove and
fell at last
With the long journey faint.
But with the day-stars' coming. one
by one
The trees sought slumber, and at
sunrise, 10!
Far as the eye could see. the drift
ed snow
Lay sleeping in the sun.

LET THE PEOPLE RULE.

The Pilot Rock Record saws the
legislature of Oregon has been "un-
Justly accused of veniality in the cleo
uon of United States senator's" and
urge the legislature t. stand upon
its constitutional right" and elect its
own choice. since this is the method
adopted by the federal constitution.
Perhaps the editor of the Record
never attended a session of the legis-
iature which elected a senator, per-
haps he was never entertained at the
senatorial headquarters" at Salem,
perhaps he never took part in the
private quarrels among the different
candidates, in which the entire busi-
ness OF the people was suspended for
kbe time and perhaps he is actually
innocent of any participation in the
'veuiality' of the senatorial election
but he certainly is not ignorant of
these things.
He certainly knows that under the
present system, private interests have
dominated the election of United
States senators to the exclusion of
public interest, and he knows that
lnuUaey has been used thac corruption
has been practiced and "veniality"
has largely ruled the programs.
How can the Record have the nerve
10 advocate disregard for the will of
the people, since it lives in an en-
lightened and progressive age? How
can it advocate disregard for advanc-
ing sentiment and thought?
The editor of the Record knows
that the present United States senate
is the result of a compromise in the
formation of the federal constitutions;
that it was born of two fears, one, a
fear Of the unbridled passion of the
people; and one, the fear Of a tyrant.
The present senate was therefore
agreed upon, as compromise be-
tween the royalists and the state SOW
ereignty forces in the colonies.
Since the last vestge of kingcraft
and royalty has disappeared from the
government Of the United States, this
aristocratic body. sitting beyond the
reach Of the common people is posi-
tive menace, and the election of sena-
tors by popular vote is strictly in
keeping with the vital progress along
other lines today
The legislature is not larger than
The people. The United States senate
is not larger than the people. 1t
should be the creature Of the people
and not creature of private interests
Is il is today.

But in the cases of these "higher

IT'S too bad"
Let US require Kelliher. William

public and the world may know that
Oregon really means something in
prosecuting the land frauds.
A grand jury of their peers found
these men guilty of the crimes charg-
ed; the trial jury confirmed the de-
cision of the grand jury and the court
has sentenced them.
The trials were fair, honest ami
above board and there should be no
longer delay in executing the sem
tences passed upon the guilty parties.
Where rich men escape the just and
speedy penalty of the law, it creates
more and more bitterness among the
common people who take their medi-
cine with all possible haste, when
brought into the courts.
Such delays give rise to the COM
mon assertions: IF he Is rich enough
he won't go to jail;" The rich pay
no penalties;" 'If you have plenty of
money you will escape;" THE courts
are lenient with the rich man, but let
the poor man beware" and such

SEEKING FABULOUS WEALTH.

After a lapse of probably thousands
and thousands of years, a very re-
markable accident which occurred
near where the town of Hofbrook,
Ark, now stands is at last being in
vestigated.
"A giant meteor weighing many hun
dreds OF tons, shot down from the sky
white hot and scattering explosive
fragments on all sides. 1t struck the
earth with fearful impact and disapL
peared, leaving nothing but a clean
cut hole tlrree-quarters of a mile long.
a half mile wide and probably over
two miles deep. The bottom of the
hole marks the exact spot where the
meteor stopped.
Interesting scientific investigations
and experiments with scattered frag-
ments of the ancient meteor have led
to the belief tfTat the meteor itself is
worth its weiglIr in solid gold, and that
it contains at Feast sf3,OOO,0O0 worth
of ores and diamonds. That is why
mining engineers are now at work
trying to reach and unearth ii.
Science discovered long ago that the
PIOCtSSCS NIllCI IIltltOTlleS
undergo during tn cir mad flight earth
ward are responsible for the formation
of diamonds The Kimberley diamond
fields in South Africa are dotted with
mysterious holes in the ground called
diamond pipes" presumably marking
the spots where meTeors fell, and it is
in these holes that diamonds are
sought and generally found.
During the ages which have passed
since the Arkansas meteor fell the
enormous hole, or diamond pipe" has
become almost completely filled in by
changes in the eartfiTs formation and
the presumable action of earthquakes
and other agents. BTc as modern en-
gineering methods claim that it will be
possible to reach the meteor even at
depth of two miles, the result of this
most remarkable of all searches for
buried treasures will be awaited with
considerable interest.

LIVING.

To touch the cup with eager lips, and
taste-not drain it;
To WOO and tempt and court bliss,
but not attain it;
To fondle and caress a joy, but hold
it lightly,
Lest it become necessity, and cling
too tightly:
To watch the sun sink in the west
without regretting;
To hail his advent in the east, the
night forgetting;
To smother care in happiness, and
grief in laughter;
To hold the present close not ques-
tioning hereafter;
To have enough to spare, to know the
Joy Of giving;
To thrill response to all the sweets of
lfe-is living.
