DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

The speech OF William j. Bryan
last night laid down a political doc
trine which spells victory, at least 50
far as Idaho democracy is concerned,
If the doctrine is not fOrcibly adul-
terated with something else that
some individual regards as more i'm
portant than Bryan and the national
democracy.
1t must have been delight and an
inspiration to the democratic hosts
uf thiss tate who have been hungering
for so many years to be fed with such
doctrine from man like Bryan.
They must have felt encouraged be-
fore and they must have felt more
like tightening up the belt and pro-
ceeding into the warfare for rights
as democracy understands them than
they have felt for years.
There was no factionalism in what
Bryan advocated last night, and
there was nothing to create dIssen-
sion or discord in the ranks. 1t was
a great, broad, inpsiring speech--a
democratic speech, something that
the democracy Of the state likes and
wants, one that makes them line up
as one mao tor the party, and one
That, when adopted by the democracy
Of the state, will make the republi-
cans tremble as they never have
trembled before.
Not only was it a speech that met
with the united approval of The de-
mocracy Of the state but it was one
that republicans themselves could en-
JOY and in almost all of it, give hearty
approval. Republicans OF Idaho love
Roosevelt for what he has done, only
because he has done more than meets
with their ideas than any other pres.
ident and not because he has done all
that they would like to see done.
The great rank and file of the repub-
llcan party would like to see Roose-
Welt do all the things that Bryan
outlined, and they would love him
more than they do now. This shows
that between the great masses of the
republican party OF Idaho and demo-
cratic doctrines as advocated and eX-
planned by Bryan, there is bet the
difference that has divided the de-
mocracy of the state itself. When
the democracy of the state is permit
ted to unite on the Bryan platform
alone, then will come to their aid
thousands Of republicans who have
been but waiting for tire opportunity
to get in and assist in the triumph
OF principles that are elemental and
fundamental in their character.
Let tie democray of Idaho adopt
Bryan'S platform and add to it only
a pledge for economical, honest and
Just administration OF state affairs
ipd no campaign would be necessary
to carry Idaho, but let it refuse to
do that, and the republicans will
again carry the state by an increased
majority. Capital News.

BRYAN THE NOMINEE

Democracy's first choice Bryan.
Democracy's second choice Bryan.
DemQcracy's third and last choice
Bryan.
This is the situation as it appears
today. The frantic efforts Of the
anti-Bryan forces t. arouse enthusi-
asm or stir national interest In any
opposition candidate makes their fail
ure pathetic.
Boom after boom has teeu launched
with "A great flourish of trumpets, a

pedigree has been dug mp for the
benefit OF adm irlng constituents; edi-
torlal dissertations on his capacity,
his ability as a leader and his chances
OF success, If nominated, have been
spread before the public. Meanwhile
the six or seven millions OF demo-
cratic voters pursue the even tenor Of
| heir way, showing marked indif-
ference and an apathy that, to the
ambitious boomers, is nothing less
than maddening.
! Numerous democrats Of more than
local reputation have enjoyed the
sensation Of being suggested" for
the democratic nomination. Several
OF them have been men who in an
open field and I'm the absence OF a
great popular favOrite could have
attracted to their support legions OF
followers.
But conditions this year are differ
ent However much the opponents of
Mr.. Bryan may rail at his continued
dominance OF the ideals of the demo-
cratic hosts, however greatly they
may differ with his policies, they are
forced to concede his pre-eminent po-
sition In the party and to reluctantly
admit that no other democrat could
be nominated over his opposition.
The opposition to Mr. Bryan comes
mainly from those who oppose re-
forms he advocated to curb the trusts
and break up mOnopolies. Bryan
lirst made these principles vital and
gave them new force and significance.
Some OF these reforms have been
partially adopted by the republican
administration Wherever this has
been done by President Roosevelt it
has drawn the fire Of the very ones
who consider MI. Bryan IA danger

an and Roosevelt are both clasSed as
undesirable officials. They would
have neither of them.

 Between William ITS idea of his role and that of King Edward there is whole world William IL is still He does not consider himself the gov ernor and representative of his coun- try and people. but the absolute mas ter. a sort of intermediator between God and Germany
 Edward VII has a much moro Demo cratic idea of his role. and it Is for this reason. that though he Is alwav- working for the advancement of his country, he never tries to place him- self at the head of affairs
 Both methods have their partisans. but the latter one is the more suitable to the present age. With but few ex- captions. this evolution in the manners and customs of monaschs has become pretty general. and if King Edward ls the most marked representative of it. he is by no means the only one.

wni PapaI Nuncio Re Punished.

VIII FupHh NuncfO Be Punisneu.
 Lisbon. April 13-To punish or not to punish the Papal Nuncio in this city is the question which is puzzling the po- lice authorities here at present, after they discovered that the venerable Monsignore has been engaged in the honorable business of smuggling.
 short time ago several large box es of costly silks passed through the custom house here and as the Nun clos secretary swore that the goods were intended for his masters per sonal use no duty was levied.
 Two days later high custom official received an anonymous letter stating that the silk goods had been secretly removed from the Nuncio's residence and placed for sale with a certain dealer. A search of the store was made and the boxes were found.
 The merchant, an Italian. when talk en to the police station confessed that he had bought the goods from the Pope's representative and the silks were confiscated
 The duties on this lct alone amount ed to over $1,000, but the dealer has confessed that the smuggling has been going on for a long time so that the loss to the government is a very much larger one.
 A report of the affatr has been sent to Pope Plus who will have to decide whether the Nuncio Is to be punished or not The government suggests im- posing a fine of s20,0o0.

Grand Duke at Cannes,

Far from the political agitation of his country. Grand Duke Michael of Russia Is living simple and quiet life at Cannes. but he does not seem to have left his autocratic ways behind him.
 The other day, while out on an au- tomtoile trip, accompanied by some friends. he was riding behind another car which covered His Imperial High ness with dust. Blowing the horn. shouts and signals had no effect, the unknown calmly went on his way, without even turning his head.
 At last. just outside the automobile club the car stopped, as did also the one Of the Grand Duke, who was furi- ous.
 "Sir," he shouted in an arrogant tone, to the occupant of the offending auto who happened to be an American. you are evidently not aware of whom you nave before you. I am the Grand Duke Michael of Russia, and your inn pertinence -
 "Mr. Michael" said the unknown. "l am an American. My name Is Uncle Sam. We are not in Russia. but in trance, and you may go to h--l, for all I care"

No Admission to Morru.

American visitors to Paris will no longer be able to make their blood run cold by visit to the gruesome Nor que.
 M. Lepine, the chief of police of Paris. has decided that this public ex- hibition of dead bodies shall cease and issued this decision:
 After this date no person will be ad- u1itted to the Paris Morgue except such as can really render assistance in the Identification of body exposed. All persons whose sole reason visiting this establishment will not be admitted.
 M. Gaud. the caretaker of the Mor- gue heartily approves of this new rule He says that sometimes scandalous scenes were enacted in the exhibition hall. and cynical remarks were the or. der of the day.
 Of late years the Morgue has become sightseeing place. and was overrun by apaches. Some parents even went so far as to take their young children to the place and hold them up to see the dead bodies and persons finding the earthly remains of a beloved rela- tive were often annoyed by laughing and gaping crowds of unfeelIng tour iSts

 Please tell me the right of a mother to assume guardianship of child"- Anxious Mother.
 The right of mothers equally with fathers in the guardianship of minor children is a recent development in American legis- lation, and at present exists in seven states: Pennsylvania Colorado. Kansas, Maine. Nebraska. New York and Rhode Island. In the remaining states the preference ts given to the father. It Is a sad commentary on our law that in 37 states a married woman has no right to have her own children. As a rule, in regard to the dis- position of children, the courts try to decide in accordance with the interests of the child. In case of separation without divorce the husband. under the common law, has permanent right to the custody of the minor children. unless the wife. as In some states. Is awarded their custody upon a writ of habeas corpus.
