Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1907-02-09
W. B. HEPBURN.

The Mining News has no desire or in
clination in the least to misrepresent
Senator Hepburn or to place him in a
false light, so, following the usual GUS
tom of fairness that ought to be the
policy of every newspaper, and which
always shall be the policy of this paper
as long as the present management is at
the helm, we give space for the excep-
tons that Senator Hepburn makes to
some statements we have made relative
to his stand against the enactment of a
direct primary election law for Idaho.
The Mining News never has said that
a. direct primary election system is
needed in Idaho, although Senator Hey
burn gives number of his objections
to the system, evidently with the
thought to convince US of the error if
we entertained any favor for the move
ment. What this paper said was
that Senator Heyburn's position on
the primary question shows him to be
not in harmony with the sentiment of
his party in this state. The Mining
News said that, following Senator Hey
burns public letter on the question,
which this paper printed few weeks
back. We are of the same opinion still
Senator Hepburn places himself squarely
in opposition to the direct primary sys-
TEN, and says the state platform does
not call for it and that it was not so in

cause of IIIegibIe Mss.

Because of illegible manuscript a
candidate for the Naval Academy lost
out on his recent examination. lie
was one Of those who having received
an appointment for the Naval Acad-
emy was subject TO a written mental
test under the Civil Service Commits
sion.
The young man took the examina-
tious, and is said 10 have answered a
large per cent Of all the questions
propounded, but his handwriting is
SO bad that his papers could not be
deciphered, and he viii not be passed.
Friends OF the young man argue that
handwriting is an accident and
that if he has satisfactorily answered
the questions something should be
done TO interpret his writing even if
he is called upon to decipher it him
self in the presence of some member
or members of the Civil Service Com
mission.
The authorities. however, do not
look upon the matter in this light,
and il is probable the unortunate
young man, who is such a bad wri-
ter, will have to suffer for his ilieg-
ible chirOgraphy. Ii is said to be
the only case on record of its kind,
no candidates writing having pre-
viously debarred him from admission
to the Naval Academy.

THE ARIEL CLUB CANCELS RACE.
Nasf's Plans Inicrfered With For June Sec
ond Crew TO 60 10 Peughkeepsie.

Naval Academy rowing has had an
other interference with its season 5
plans by the cancellation Of the race
arranged for June with the Ariel Boat
Club of Baltimore, but an effort is be-
ing made TO arrange a race with the
University of Pennsylvania for that
date.
The Varsity and Freshmen crews
of Pennsylvania will be secured to
row against the first and second Naval
Academy crews, if possible. IL is not
certain that the Academy management
will he successful in securing this
race, but a strong effort will be made
and il it is accomplished il will go
far towards rcdeeming an unfortunate
season so far as the securing of local
races has gone.
The race between the first crew of
the Naval Academy aud the Penn
Varsity, and the second Navy crew
and the Quaker Freshmen has been
one of the most interesting events of
the local rowing season Tor a number
of seaosns, but this year it was not
arranged owing 10 the fact that Penn
sy lvania objected to the early date,
which was The only. one that the Navy
could offer owing TO the other races
and which corresponded TO the date of
the races in former years. AS June
comes within the period in which
Pennsylvania originally wished to
row, it is hoped here that ii viii agree
to row at the Naval Academy on that
date.
1t is felt here that the double header
race with Pennsylvania will have
very beneficial effect upon the Navy
crew men and particularly the mem
bers of the second crew, from whom
any recruits for the first must be
drawn. The second crew has rowed
no race this season and has none ar
ranged and il is, of course, dispiriting
to its~members to train and practice
faithfully the whole season without
getting into any race. The second
crew will go to Poughkeepsie and had
hopes TO enter the Freshman race, but
il is now rather certain that their en-
try in this race will not be accepted.

catchy in raising funds for the work
of Christ's church, but he is always
TO the front i'm supporting and encour-
aging anything that will bring the
people together and make them feel
that they are members of one flock

complishcd might easily be realized
at the crowded and congested gather
ing of women and men who, during
the evening, crammed ). Luke S

The gifts and offerings of friends
