1t looks strange for New York to be
shipping buffaloes to Oklahoma to
stock reserve, but careful estimate
of existing pure-booded buffaloes in
1903 explains the necessity for it. At
the time the total of wild buffaloes in
the United States was "a, and in
Canada 600. The captive buffaloes
We're, in the United States, 969; in
Canada, Al; in Europe, 100 And yet
40 years ago hundreds of thousands of

but remnant of the vast herds that
existed century earlier. 1t is evil
dent that stringent precautions will be
needed to preserve enough of them
for the wild west shows of the next

VIII Prevent President
From Filling Federal
Offices With Taft Men

Antf-Ahministratlon leaders In the
senate have some arrangements OF their
own for preventing President Roosevelt
from lining up the solid South, and also
other parts OF the country where the
patronage whip IS useful. for Secretary
Taft The Senate leaders are going 20
make the fullest exercise Of their power
OF confirmation or non-coufrmation, II
Il seems TO be necessary to prevent Fcd-
eral offceholders from becoming STAN
peded into giving their influence to the
Ohio man By refusing to confirm any
successors the President may appoint
weakened Federal officials can doubt
less be induced, in many cases, to ignore
the raft movement and throw their
strength 70 an anti-Adminisrrationc can

President Roosevelt. now that he IS
definitely out of the field as a Presl-
Dental possibility, is throwing all his
strength 10 Taft, and is going to give
the Taft men the fullest benefit of his
knowledge Of how 10 play the game Of
politics. in the anti-Administration
camp II Is we'll understood that Mr..
Roosevelt is in position TO make a lot
OF trouble and TO make It extremely
difficult to get anti-AdmlnisUratiOn dele

Dick to Watch Postofices.
1t was pointed out in Ohio circles
with considerable interest and amuse-
ment yesterday that Senator Dick had
been put on the Senate Committee on
Pcstohices and Postroads. 1t IS strong
y intimated this, too. has been done for
the purpose. on the part OF the Foraker
Dick element in Ohio, OF not allowing
the Administration to dispense postof-
fees IN that State in a fashion that
will help Taft at the primaries. As a
member of the Postofflces Committee.
Senator Dick can keep his hand on
Ohio postodice combinations with little
difficulty.
A strange situation has arisen with re-
spect to the recent nomination by the
President of Edward E Wagner as

gestion Of Senator Gamble, who, as the
result Of the late White House lottery,

JUST FoR COMPARISON.

A newspaper has 5000 readers for
each 1000 subscribers. A merchant
who puts out 1000 handbills gets pos
sibly 800 or 400 people to read them
that is, if the boy who is trusted to
distribute them does not chuck them
under the sidewalk. The handbills
cost as much as half column adver-
tisement in the home paper. All the
women and girls and half the men and
boys read the advertisement. Result
the merchant who uses the newspa-
per has $500 more readers to each
thousand of the papers readers. There
is no estimating the amount of BUSH
ness that advertising does bring to a
merchant, but that each dollar invest
ed in advertising brings to the in
weston somewhere from 500 to 800
worth of business there can be no
doubt.

NORTHERN REPRESENTATION.

There are some people in northern
Idaho who complain that their section
does not secure proper representation
on the principal boards of the state
government. This is one of the things
urged as grievance when the subject
of dividing the state is brought for
ward by our Washington neighbors.
1t is true that northern Idaho has
not had much representation on those
boards, but IT 10 equally true that the
people of that section are themselves
responsible for that condition. There
never has been any disposition on the
part Of the southern end of the state
to shut the northern section out from
such representation. The people Of the
south are not jealous OF the north, nor
do they entertain any other feeling
toward 1t than one of perfect friend
ship and Astounding pride. 1t has new
er entered into the mind of q single
person south Of the Salmon river 20
prevent the north from securing repre-
sentation on the boards by which the
principal work Of the administration is
done. nor will any such feeling ever be
experienced.
That is a statement of fact that no
{ one win seriously challenge. The ex-
PLANTATION of the failure to place
northern men on those boards is to be
found in another condition. 1t has so
CHANGED that. In our state conventions,
the exigencies Of politics have entirely
subordinated and submerged this sub
Ject of division Of membership on
fthese boards. and, so far as the States
man can recall. that subject has never
been considered in state convention.
The delegates from the various coun-
ties have gone to the conventions con-
! tending for this or that candidate for
some position and no one has ever
suggested that the work of the con-
vention should be cut out so as to
make a division OF those positions be-
tween the two ends of the state. That
Is. those influential in managing con-
vention affairs have thus ignored the
subject.
This statement applies to the north
as well as the south. The north has
always stood ready to trade off other
positions that 1t might carry its point
In recent years It has been the con-
gressional nomination that has alb
sorbed the attention or northern dele
gates. Other questions have sometimes
entered into consideration with those
forming convention combinations. and
these have been made without any
thought on the part of north or south
whether or not the northern section
would secure a place or places on these
boards.
II at any time In the past the people
of the north, through their delegates in
state conventions, had demanded one
or more places on those boards and
stood for them in what may be desig-

Eighty girl, with no other purpose in
life beyond dress and amusement and
having what she termed "a good time"
Kate thought it excellent pastime to
flirt with Mr.. Bagley, and when she
discovered that he was serious in his
attentions she felt fiattered rather than
indignant. After all, she argued, he
was of noble birth. If his two broth
ers died, he would be peer of England,
and she had enough money for both.
He might not make a bad husband.
But she was careful to keep her own
counsel and not let her father have
any suspicion Of what was going on.
She knew that his heart was set on
her marrying Jefferson Ryder, and she
knew better than any one how impos-
sible that dream was. She herself liked
Jefferson quite enough to marry him,
but IL his eyes were turned in another
direction-and she knew all about his
attentions to Miss Rossmore-she was
not going to break her heart about 1t.
So she continued to fiirt secretly with
the Hon. Fitzroy while she still led the
Ryders and her own father to think
that she was interested In Jefferson.
"Jorkins," Mr.. Bagley was saying to
the butler, "Mr. Ryder will occupy the
library on his return. See that he Is
not disturbed"

and went downstairs. The secretary
