Bright young women in Norway find

Vaded by their sex in this country. The
many steamers that plow the Norwe-
Sian fJords and Scandinavian estuaries
and rivers employ young women to

Tor the personal comfort OF travellers

of Northern Europe. That the duties
involved necessitate a girls having

saying, and many of the applicants are
daughters OF either naval or profes.

doctors.
1t is the duty Of the Auxiliary ships

OF the ship how many passengers are
booked on the outgoing voyage and to
lay IN her provisions accordingly, with
an eye to ample supplies, at the same

Such an occupation with its SELF

that of postal official" Two Of these
young ladies always travel together,
their sole duty consisting in carrying
the mail bags to and from the points
of embarkation and arrival. During
the voyage, the time of these girls is
practically their own, and they gener-

du ing those much-admired "Hosfilds
foernings"-the beautiful Norwegian
embroideries to be met with in such
rich profusion throughout the Scandin-
avian lands. These post ladies'" how

tion as government employees; for long
before the landing-staEe is reached,
both may be seen cloaked and hated

BRILLIANT ADDRESS

out with full comprehension of what
those declarations are. have here the
platform, as they call 1t, of the Demo-
cratic party, which was adopted on
August at Occur d'Alene City, in
Northern Idaho. They start out: I'VE.
the Democrats Of Idaho, In convention
assembled, hereby unequivocally reafflrm
our allegiance to the time-honored prin-
ciples of Democracy, as advocated by
Jefferson. Jackson and Bryan"
That is the standard under which they
come into the field of controversy. They
do not say what those principles are.
AS to Jefferson and Jackson, no living
man remembers the principles upon
which they made their campaigns; no liv-
ing can find in the laws, the statutes
of the United States, any statement Of
what the principles of those men were.
They created nothing that has lived to

vocated no law. that has continued to

no, in all of it's departments. 1t is not
a comfortable recollection to recall those
times and those conditions. But for the
purpose of thoroughly approaching the
conditions today, it is necessary to in
dulge in some comparisons, because it
Is promised by the Democratic party
that should they succeed at the coming
election they will abandon, abolish and
change the present conditions Of Repub-
lican prosperity. They come to US with

a threat, with a denunciation, and they
say that existing conditions are wrong.
The Platform.
Have you given attention to the plat
form Of the Democratic party in Idaho
Of course, we have no national plat
forms in this campaign, because we have
to formulate them. We assume that
the principles announced by the great
parties at their last national conven-
tons are still the principles Of those
parties. But in the state Of Idaho we
have a fresh declaration of principles
from both parties. / desire to call your
attention briefly to these platforms, be-
cause they are the texts from which
we must speak; they are the basis upon
which your judgment may be founded
at the coming election.
Eternal Principles.
When the Republican party met in
this hall 1t endorsed existing conditions
in the nation; it endorsed the present
administration because that it had con-
tinued to so conduct the affairs Of the
government that the prosperity which
we enjoyed under that magnificent states
man who was taken away from us by
the hand of an assassin, should be and
has been continued. The present admin
istration brought no new principles to
the Republican party; 1t has brought
the vigor and the strength and the
equipment of man in the prime Of life
as the chief executive, and men at his
side as his counselors-strong, brave,
true statesmen; so that as result Of
the coming together of these minds we
have continuation, and might say an
elaboration of the principles Of the old
party, but the creation Of no new prtn-
ciples. What was true Of the Republic
can party at it's birth, as to its princi-
pies and its purpose, is true today What
is true of the Republican party today
has always been true Of 1t. do not
mean to say that 1t Is not progressive;
do not mean to be understood as say
ing that it does not adapt itself to the
ever changing conditions inseparable
from the advancing ideas and mental
growth of human kind. 1t does adapt
itself-adapt the old principles upon
which the nation was founded to the
oncoming and existing conditions.

a political party, when they can find
nothing Of accomplished fact, nothing
of accomplished history. later than the
days of Jefferson and Jackson The
careers Of those men terminated before
the birth Of anybody in this audience.

and they passed out Of history, except
that their names were connected with
the Office Of chief executive Of the ma

in this country of American history to
which they could point with pride, ex-
cept the indefinite, nebulous principles
Of those men? Why is 1t that they were
