SENATOR HEPBURN PRAISED

Without doubt Senator Hepburn
Is the brainiest man Idaho has ever
had in the United States senate.
Since he has been there Idaho Is
fast gaining an enviable reputation.
In the matter of the pure food BILL
alone he gained not a little glory.
This bill had been before congress-
for years and 1t had been shunted
about and at the end of each term
usually died for want of effectual
support. Senator Hepburn took up
this bill and after a strong, vigorous
fight against the interests brought
the bill to successful issue. This
bill was one of the most important
that had been before congress In
years. In the recent financial furry
Senator Hepburn looked out for the
interests of the entire west, as
against the New York banks He
saw that In the distribution of gov
eminent moneys the west got Its
share. The senator might take a
drink now and then but 1t should
