NEW COUNTY FOR IDAHO.
Nez Percc County VIII Perhaps BE
Divided Again.

Speaking of the proposed new
county of Lolo, which is the second
subdivision of Nez Perce county that
is likely to come before the legislature
this winter, Senator waldrip says that
IL the measure is properly petitioned
for by the people interested It will be
presented to the legislature, and will
in all probability pass, says the Boise
Statesman. The bill takes off the
east part Of the old Nez Perce county
after segregating the county Of Clear
water, which is the part taken from
Shoshone a few years ago. Lolo
county includes the Nez Perce prairie
one of the richest and most populous
sections of the state.
The new county will have only a
little in excess of 400 square miles
the smallest in the state. But It will
start in with property value of bet
ter than s1,500,000, which is better
than some Of the counties with as
large an area as good easternd state.
The matter did not come up for seri-
Gus consideration at the time of the
last election, but Is not new, and 1t has
been talked Of for a number of years
past. One Of the strongest arguments
for the formation of the new county
is the fact that the people from Nez
Perce would be obliged to go for 40
or so miles through another county,
Clearwater, to reach Lewiston, their
own county seat, after Clearwater
county is segregated. Petitions are
now being circulated on the prairie
to get the wishes of the people.

RANKIN WAS NOT THE MAN.
omatiila Marshal Failed to Identify
Prisoner as Murderer.

That Rankin and Johnson, prison.
ers in Portland, are not the men who
Killed an unknown man at Umatilla
recently is now believed by the Off
GERS. While in Portland Saturday
Sheriff Taylor was accompanied by
Marshal Kelley of Umatilla, and the
two went to the Jail where Rankin
was confined. He was found to look
very differently from his printed pic
ture and could not be identified by the
marshal as one of the men he had
seen around Umatilla with the man
who was killed.
The other prisoner. Johnson, had
peen taken to The Dalles, where he
was wanted upon forgery charge,
and so was not seen by the Officers,
But as Rankin was not one Of the men
wanted 1t is regarded as doubtful II
Johnson is. AS a result it now looks
like the murder OF the unknown will
have to go unavenged and his identity
continued mystery.

DEFINITE PLANS FOR NEW STATE
Spokane VIII Call Convention to Meet
I'm March.
A Spokane dispatch saws.

spokane dispatch SAYS:
The holding of convention in Spo-
kane in March to discuss the plan OF
the new state of Lincoln is definitely
proposed by f. H. Mason and C. II.
Moore, very prominent business men.
VINO ask that the Spokane chamber OF
commerce issue a call to all CONNER
cal bodies. The plan contemplates
extending the south boundary of
washington through Idaho, thus con-
stituting the south boundary OF the
new state. Montana would be the
east boundary, British Columbia the
north boundary, and the west, instead
OF being the Cascade mountains should
De an extension of the east boundary
OF California, the 18th parallel Of lati-
tude. This would leave wenatchee
and North Yakima and Ellensburg in
the state of Washington, of which
Olympia is the capital.
Possible opposition from Idaho to
the proposed plan will be met by ex-
tendlng the present boundary west to
meet the same parallel that now con-
stitutes the east boundary of Califor-
MIA; thus all that portion of the pres
ent state of, Oregon bounded on the
south by Nevada would be added to
Idaho. Idaho would gain more ter
ritory than she loses and be more
symmetrical. No opposition is an
uclpated from south Idaho on the
proposed basis as 1t would gain such
cities as Baker, La Grande and PEN
dleton.
Oregon and Washington would be
the only states to suffer serious loss
OF territory and opposition from the
west part Of these states would have
to be overcome by the promoters Of
the state OF Lincoln.

WILL CAUSE LEGISLATIVE WAR
Railroad Commission Bill VIII Be Bit
terly Fought.


No bill that has been introduced
during this session of the legislature
has caused a more widespread inter-
est than the one Of which Represen-
tative W. H. Chaplin OF Muitnomah, is
the author, and battle royal is ex-
pected on the floor of both houses
when 1t comes up for final passage,
says the Salem Statesman.
1t is for the creation of the much
talked of railroad commission of Ore
gon. An appropriation is also asked
of $4,000 with which to carry out
this act. The bill is voluminous, COW
ering S6 pages OF printed matter. The
bill in brief contains the following
provisions:
To regulate the transportation and
commerce and common carriers in
this state, and for that purpose to
create a railroad commission Of Ore
gon, to fix the qualifications, salaries,
powers and duties of the commission
and the members thereof, and author
izing them to make and alter their
rules and regulations. and to provide
for demurrage and reciprocal demur-
rage, and for penalties for failure to
furnish cars, and to regulate the mode
and manner of establishing, making
and maintaining railroad crossings
and connections, and to prevent un-
just rates being imposed and unjust
discrimination by the carriers subject
to this act, and to insure adequate
service by them, prescribing penalties
for the violation of provisions Of this
act, prescribing the procedure and
rules of evidence in relation thereto,
and making an appropriation to carry
out the provisions thereof.

Of Nebraskan is Stronger Than


VIII r, King, the we'll known attor-
ney OF Ontario, was in the city this
morning on his way to Walla Walla
on professional business. He has Just
returned from Portland, where he at
tended the reception rendered to w.
]. Bryan, and is enthusiastic over the
impression made by Mr.. Bryan in
Portland.
According to Mr.. King. who Is well
acquainted in Portland ana in fact all
over the state of Oregon, there is an
exceptionally strong favorable senti-
ment among former opponents of Mr..
Bryan and many influential men who
have watched the career of the Ne
braskan declare that he is now
stronger in the hearts of the people
than ever.
Many prominent republicans, while
not openly declaring their intentions
VIII support Mr.. Bryan should he be
a candidate for president in 1908,
simply because he has faithfully stood
by the principles which the country
is now adopting as means of relief.

NO PHILIPPINE TARIFF.
Present Session OF Congress VIII Not
Give Islands Relief.

1t is generally admitted that the
Philippine tariff bill is dead for this
session. Senator Lodge would move
that his committee be discharged
from further consideration Of the bill
II he thought such a motion stood a
chance of being adopted by the SEN
ate. The sugar and tobacco interests
have been bitterly fighting this bill,
and won out before the committee.
Their friends in the senate are re-
garded as too influential to admit of
the passage of the bill at this session,
and an attempt to have the bill taken
away from the committee would me.s=
ly result In increasing the existing bad
FEELING. 1t is therefore improbable
that any such attempt will be made.

SECRETARY OF PEACE

1t was a nice thing that Secretary
of War William II. Taft said to the
japanese people upon his arrival at
northumberland he came to them,
not as Secretary Of War, but OF
peace. Flippant persons and papers
speak of war with Japan as of a
holidy outing. Russia went to war
with Japan alphabetically, roaring
as Goliath rOared at David and came
near to coming off as Goliath came
off in his encounter with David.
This is not saying that Uncle Sam
would fare as badly, for he would
not. Our country is rich in men
and money, rich in ships OF war, in
comparably rich in interior resources
and the result Of a war with Japan
so far as it concerns our OWE cUu-.-
try, can not be open to serious qnes-
ton.
But what Of the results OF such a
war with Japan? Are we to give no
thought to the consequences of
conflict to that country? Who, hav-
ing a heart, can steel it against our
doughty little neighbor, who has
forged up from hermit barbarism
to an equal station with the nations
of the earth in a single fifty years
OF progressive effort? We tatter
oil hot Cl6
nightly within that period, but
what we have done We have done
after more than a century of prepar
atory experience ideal for the pur-
pose in view. We had a great, vir-
gin continent boundless in resources
practically as it came from the
hands of the creator. Japan had a
tight little group OF volcanic quake
rocked islands with a semi-civiliza-
ton that was hoary with age and
which had to be rejuvenated before
it could move at all. By comparison
their advancement has been prodi-
g.ous, and what glory would there
be In 1t Tor us to deSpOll that people
of their wealth, humiliate their pride,
snuff out their ambition? Rather
should we bid them god-speed, as
our Secretary of Peace has done,
and throw our influence in the scale
for them and not against them.
But we have our institutions, our
ideals to which the Japanese do not
in all respects conform. The Japan
csc ways of life in many particulars
antipodal to our own. Their moralities
are certainly so. Their domestic
life, ideal in some respects, are in
others nasty There is little except
love of out-of-doors, daintiness of
demeanOr and pOliteness which they
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1907-10-05

possess that we should wish to copy.
Our ways of living are better and
the Caucasian can work out his deS-
tiny better unmixed with the Japan
csc type, whatever racial affinity it
may claim to be. We must and shall
preserve our racial purity as they
should, and probably will, preserve
theirs. We can not afford to have
the Pacific Coast over-run with Asiat-
les, where they come from Japan
or China. Korea or India but not bel
liegerently.
With malice toward none, with
charity for all, but with frmness in
the right as God gives us to see the
right we must commission our
Secretaries of Peace to so agree
with our friendly little nation beyond
the setting sun as to avoid an objec-
tionable inundation of Oriental cool
les. and this can be accomplished if
our demagogues in and out of journ-
alism will restrain themselves and
their malicious tongues in the inter
! ests of the peace of the world. The
men who make the trouble will be
the last ones to volunteer to fight
Sacramento Bee.

To deny complainant the right to
