Congressman Bobbing Up.

We have observed that in the
past two weeks, members of the
press have been very busy select
ing congressman to succeed Bur
ton l.. French, and several candi
dates have been pushed forward,
who are said to be willing to be
sacrificed upon the alter of their
..friends.
Now this is nice, and we are
pleased that this part of the state
has SO many eminent gentlemen,
willing and capable. 1t is inter
esting to see how modestly these
matters are broached, and always
with ample preparations for a re-
treat it it has to be TUNED off as
a joke.
The usual method of starting Il
nomination in Idaho is to have a
special telegram from Whereville
appear in the Salt Lake Tribune
or the Spokesman Review or the
Portland Olegonian, giving the
substance of All interview with
Hon. |. Wantit of Wherevile, in
which he states that he has been
urged by SO many of his friends
to become a candidate for Snapit
up, that he las been seriously
considering whether he could in

FOR GOVERNOR

Candidates for governor are
also coming to the surface thru
kindly mention of their friends.
Jas. Fl. Brady, chairman of the
Republican State Central Commit
tee, is not without supporters, and
Harry Day, one of the owners of
the Hercules mine and a member
of the Democratic State Central
Committee from the north, is said
to be willing to accept the nomin-

says the dispatch.
Ex-senator Heitfeld, of Lewis
ton, is also mentioned, and the
fact that these two latter an
nouncements were wired to The
Oregouian before being given to
any Idaho papers, puts them Just
a bit under the ban of the Idaho
press boys who wonder if their
own papers are not considered to
have any circulation in The Gem
State, or whether it is the Oregon
people that these parties desire to
reach.

We had hoped that by words
and deeds Haywood would show
to the world that there was some
true manhood and honesty in him,
that he did not take any stock in
the disloyal utterances of the rabid
socia list element, prior to his
trial, to the effect that it was i'm.
possible for him to secure fair
trial for him in Idaho. But it
seems that Haywood is "tarred
with the same stick" as are those
who denounced our courts and
state officials, and he is now utter
ing statements which disclose the
true character of the man; state.
ments which will! cause the lawless
element to continue preaching
treason and committing acts of
violence, for to them Haywood is
god and what he says and does
will be accepted by them as the
gospel. In an address before a
crowd of socialists at Chicago the
other day, Haywood revealed his
true character when he used this
language:
Notwithstanding that appear,
ances pointed toward fair trial,
there is no doubt that | owe it to
you that | am at liberty. There
was no intention in the minds of
the government and state officials
to give us fair trial. They tried
their utmost to DO otherwise. They
tried to make the red state of
Colorado more red.
1t was their firm intention to
railroad me to the gallows, and |
have my friends to thank for my
life. There is 70 doubt that Gov.
ernor Gooding of Idaho was in
conference with certain supreme
court justices of the state, and the
futility of seeking to obtain my
release on a writ of habeas cor
pus became apparent. Montpelier

against the present management
of forest reserves, is good for
about twenty years of very active
work, and if Idaho wants a cor

the more pleasant parts, and by
his steady plodding, accomplishes
much more while others wait for
a great opportunity or for some
thing to turn up. With all his
affabllity, winning ways, good
traits and good habits, he lacks
what people usually call "oack-
bone," to the extent that he fears
defeat, and in his weakness would
rather appropriate the life,pre-
servers of his friends than take the
risk of sinking with them He
has made q good record in con.
gress, and his three terms give
him prestige that few young men
can win in that time.
Col. Thomas r. Hamer, of
St. Anthony, is a brilliant man
who earned the title of Colonel
in the Spanish American War,
having served in the Philippines.
He is lawyer who has attained
some success locally, but is not
an all-round well-informed man
with ability on many subjects. He
is man of words, good at re.
partee; brilliant in rejoinder, full
of wit when aroused, loves TO
hear himself talk, can commit a
speech to memory and deliver it
with telling effect as often as he
can get an audience, and can
make more hits at one sitting
than falls to the lot of more than
one or two men in state. But
such men are not workers nor
students. They have a way of
catching" things, and it is usual
ly the things of the surface that
they catch. If there is any hard
systematic work to be done; if
anybody has to delve down to the
root of things, not knowing where
the root will lead, men of this
type sit back and wait for some
body else to do it. Such a man
would make some hits in any body
which he were a member of; he
would chew lots of tobacco ant do
his share of splitting, and he
would be we'll known among the
boys. But the solid, dignifed,
brainy workers would know but
little of him, and when he had
run his course of funny phrases
and catchy jokes, there would be
interims when nothing would turn
up, and the monotony Of work
would be lrksome to him. Such
men usually pass their zenith by
the time the brother plodder be
gins to wake up to a realization
of his own strength and power.
We have had "meteors" in con-
gress, and no important bill has
ever been accredited to any of
them.
Avery G. Moore is a man of
much ambition who has worked in
both of the old parties and is
brilliant, but more visionary than
practical. He is a fine speaker
and an active, wide awake man.
If fine speeches will fill the bill,
be should have the honors. He
has high estimate of himself
and his own ability, lacks natural
tact, can be diplomatic in making
\ speech, but is given to strok-
ing the fur the wrong way when
ne deals with individuals or gets
down to the details of work, He
is q fine gentleman and a man OF
high ideals, and ii he could com
bine shrewd judgment and practi-
cal working plans NTH it, he
would stand head and shoulders
above the others, but he doesn't.

pie really want him to act in the
capacity of Snapitup, that he will
get out and make the race for the
nomination.
But methods are changing FOR
the better, and the joke started
this time by joking at the banquet
of the press club at Pocatello, the
improvement appearing in the
fact that Idahoans were permitted
to handle the whole joke, and
nobody outside the state was called
on to touch it off. We are glad
Idaho is getting self reliant, and
sentiments expressed some months
ago in the press club, that no poll
tician deserves any support from
an Idaho paper, if he permits a
paper outside the state to nom
mate him, seems to be taking
root.
Now comes Uncle Jim Wallace
in The Rexburg Standard, and
says that Col. T. R. Hamer, of
Fremont County, is to be the next
member of congress from Idaho,
and that his editorial coat is al.
ready off, and will be off for ac
tive service until the Colonel is
elected. He says the Colonel is
competent and deserving and has
the backing, and will succeed
French.
At the same time another edi-
tor dominates Col. Avery G.
Moore of Many Places, for Con-
gress, and points with pride to
his career, his speeches, his am
bition, etc., and says the state
owes the place to him.
Another great and influential
member of the press mentions that
empire builder, Major Fred Reed,
of the Power City, Twin Falls,
Ketchum and Miner y-The-
Dam.
The Boise Statesman publishes
a dispatch from Weiser, suggest
ing the name of E. M. Heigho,

ger of the p. & |. N. Railroad,
and points to the fact that he is
a hustler, and that if he goes
after the nomination, the man who
gets it, will know that he had
scrap.
We think it is high time for
Congressman French to sit up,
when they have arrayed against
him a builder of railroads, two
colonels and a major whose title
ends with "By.The- Dam

CURE FoR MORBID WOMEN.

When people have real trouble to
contend with they do not sit down
and analyze their emotions and re-

left when they spoke to them, and eS-
actly what the tones of their voice
and the elevation OF their eyebrows
meant, as the morbid woman does.
Morbidness should be accounted a

about ten years old Miss Margaret

by the time she married Dr. Higgins
she knew enough to be of the greatest
assistance to him They established
themselves at the Tulse Hill, then

carried out the new" astronomy, the
principle OF which was to investigate
NOT only the motions of the heavenly
bodies, but also what they are made
of. Lady Higgins is indeed, a many
