ORIGIN OF "lDAHO."

Con Doty of Bayhorse, Idaho,
submits the following to a north
Idaho paper as his idea, of the
origin and significance of "Idaho:"
"In 1861 President Lincoln APP
pointed man by the name of Fitch
captain over an emigrant train.
The train started from st. Paul,
Mimi, and was bound for Walla
Walls, via the northern route
(Mullan road. At this time the
Indians were restless, and weak
or small parties were forbidden to
travel until q certain number Of
wagons were in a train; then q
captain had to be elected before
the train was allowed to move.
The train mentioned consisted of
la wagons. Fitch was captain.
Captain Fitch had a little daughter
named Ida. Ida's mother was
dead. Little Ida accompanied her
father to Walla Walla. Capt.
Fitch did not like to have Ida out
of his sight very much, so when
Fitch would loose sight of Ida he
would call Ida, Ida. Ida would
answer by saying Ho. In a short
time the train people gave to Ida
the name Of idaho The name
pleased Capt. Fitch. After the
train arrived at Walla Walla Capt.
Fitch and little Ida returned to st.
Paul.
Afterwards Capt. Fitch went
to Washington City. When con-
gress created the territory of Idaho,
Capt. Fitch suggested the name of
Idaho for the new territory. The
same was accepted and little Ida
Fitch was immortalizsd.

STORM is COMING.

The Chicago Tribune has the fol-
lowing to say Of the political situa-
ton in the republican ranks.
1--WE earnestly wish that Pres
ident Roosevelt would attend more
strictly than he does to the duties
which he was elected to perform.
The chief duty instructed to him
was the execution of the laws, not
the making of the laws and still
less the nomination of Roosevelt's
successor. 1t does not like to see
him put up by combination Of
Oficeholders, most OF whom owe
their places to the president, and
all of whom look to him for patron
age to promote their political
ambitions. Tho worst and best
that may be said Of Mr.. Taft as q
presidential candidate at present is
that he is being showed upon the
republican party, that is being
boosted into prominence as q can
didate and is being 'crammed down
the throats' of republicans before
they know what kind Of an appetite
they have for presiden tial candi-
dates"
For q republican paper Of such
prominence as the Chicago Tribune
this is rather strong language. 1t
begins to appear that the lack of
harmony within the republican
party is developing into q healthy
storm, and the national convention
may develope one Of the most spirit
ed fights yet seen in the g. o. P.

and Foraker, for there is LaFol.

A WARM ONE FOR BORAH.

Sixteen members OF the Idaho
federal grand jury of twenty-four
voted to indict Senator William E.
Borah Of "inciting fraud against
the United States" This is the
first time this Information has been
published, particularly the exact
nature of the indictment against
the senator, but it can be set down
as authentic. After the indictment
had been returned Senator Borah
"scooted" to Washington, and Dis
trict Attorney Ruick was instruct
ed by President Roosevelt not to
press the indictment or cause it to
be made public for the time being.
The ostensible reason for this
protection Of q man under an in
dictment is that to make public the
indictments now would be to dis
credit Senator Borah in the Meyer
Haywood prosecutions. The real
reason, it is said, is that the Good
ing Borah- Brady outfit, following
the example Of the Smoot machine
in Utah, is dabbling in national
politics, and has agreed to deliver
the Idaho delegation in the next
republican national convention to
Roosevelt or to the man OF his
choice for president. 1t was repre-
sented to the president that Sena-
tor Heyburn-the only prominent
republican leader in Idaho who is
not under q cloud of Some kind
was laboring to get q Fairbanks
delegation from Idaho, and that, if
Borah were to be discredited the
Roosevelt program in the state
would be handicapped seriously.
District Attorney Ruick may
count himself lucky that the apos-
tie Of reform in the White House
didn't chop his head off summarily
for daring to indict such noble,
nndaunted champion of the pse.
ple's rights as Senator Borah, in
stead of merely commanding him
to ignore an indictment found by
the grand jury after the presenta-
ton of evidence tending to justify
such an action.
But, suppose it had been Hey
burn who bad been indicted-Hey-
burn, the man who dared to de-
nounce Roosevelt on the floor Of
the United States senate? Does
any Roosevelt idolater pretend that
Roosevelt would have protected
him? Not this year.-Goodwin's
Weekly,
