One of the best debates of the
winter is to be held at the Armory
soon after election. The debating
teams of the Y. NJ. G. A. and the
Grangeyille High School will con-
test. The question for debate will
be, Resolved that the principles
of the Monroe Doctrine should be
maintained" The High School
team will carry the negative side
of the question. The speakers for
the two teams have not yet been
chosen. Both institutions have
some excellent talent among their
members and an interesting and
instructive debate may be looked
for. The proceeds of the affair
will probably be given entirely to
the Y. NJ. G. A. A good attendance
should be one of the features of the
evenings enjoyment. Seats will
be on sale soon at the post office.

In the issue OF the Lewiston
Teller, a republican paper, Of Oct.
18th, 1906, the efficiency of J. l.
Overman, our county auditor,
is publicly acknowledged by Edward
L'ggett. state examiner, who is al
30 a republican, as follows:
"While being interviewed by a
representative of the Evening Tel
Ter, Mr.. Ligget paid a glowing
compliment to the present incum-
bent of the auditors office of Idaho
county, J. /. Overman. Mr.. Lig-
git states that the books, which
have been kept by this gentlemen,
are among the easiest in the state
to audit and correct"
This is only one of the MANY
testimonials which are daily heard
as to Mr.. Overman's competency,
coming from all sources regardless
OF politics. He recognizes that he
ID public servant in the conduct
OF his office and that the public is
entitled to efficient service and
courteous and accommodating at
tention.

The Next Legislature.

"Jim Surridge OF Camas Prairie,
candidate for the legislature on the
democratic ticket, WAS in Elk City
few days ago looking after bust
ness matters, and incidently meet
ing the voters. Mr.. Surridge called
on the News editor, and gave us an
understanding of the principles
upon which he is making the race.
This paper could hardly be asked
to introduce Mr.. Surridge to the
voters in this part of the county,
or add any to their store of knowl-
edge Of the man, because he has
lived here for thirty-fve years and
is known by all the people. But
before you decide on your vote,
stop aud consider this man. Be-
sides long residence here, from
which he has learned the needs of
Idaho county, Mr.. Surridge is a
man of property. He is well in
formed on all questions pertaining
to state and county interests, and
those who know "Jim" know he
cannot b. persuaded to vote as some
other fellow would like to have him
vote.
The News suspects the legislature
OF Idaho in past years has had in
it too many immature minds, too
many plastic youths-the assembly
has been too much of a school Of
oratory for aspiring politicians for
the greatest good to be accom-
plished. This must be SO, else the
two party platforms would not this
late day be calling for enactment
Of laws that should have been on
the statute books years ago, and
which other states not as old as
Idaho have enjoyed for years and
have found good. The people of
Idaho ought to make the next
legislature business body and they
can make it that only by electing
square, honest business men, men
who know the needs of the state
and cannot be persuaded from their
obligations to their constituents.
If the proposed amendments to the
constitution carry you will want
business men in Boise, not orators
or students.--Elk City News.

On account of the similarity
in the names of Lowe, Idaho, and
Lane, Idaho, the postoflice OF
Lowe. located about Is miles north
OF Grangeville, has been changed to
Winona. The mail intended for
either OF the postoflices would often
become mixed and the department
thought the change advisable. The
town OF Lowe, or Winona as it is
now, consists of several mercan-
tile establishments and is a popu-
lar trading point with many of
the people residing on the reser-
