POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE.

1t is gratifying to know that the
press of the country is gradually
breaking away from the old time
custom of upholding any and all
candidates who may be nominated
by their espective parties. A good
example of this kind is shown in
the present attitude Of the States
man in standing up for the direct
primary idea after it was turned
down by the state convention and
the great republican boss, Senator
Hepburn. The Statesman of Sep
tember %, says: "It is Impossible
to work with Senator Hey
All must work under him or not at
ALL"
1t is to be hoped that Hepburn
will be defeated for re election, as
men of his views are a menace to
the republic when they advocate
that the people should not have
the privilege of directing what
measures their public servants
should advocate.
There are still quite number
of newspapers throughout the coun-
try that follow the old style of
doing whatever the political bosses
tell them, instead of publishing
that which their conscience and
good common sense prompts them
to advocate. Political independ-
ence is the only safeguard we have
to keep political parties from be-
coming corrupt.

With the leading "bosses" of the
republican party in Idaho pulling in
opposite directions on such issues
as direct primary, election of Sen
ators by direct vote and other vital
matters, the outlook for republican
success is not very encouraging.
The democratic state issues are
about "boiled down" and ready for
the decision of the courts. What
ever the outcome, it behooves all
democrats to take an active part in
the campaign, and elect legisla-
tive ticket that will control the
State Legislature.

It Is a great pity that Sir Walter Scott
did not write another historical novel
with John Knox as the hero. for his
marvellous experiences would have fur
nished abundant material for as good q
story rs waverly or Ivanhoe. Few
human beings ever had such variety
of adventures or more striking personal
characteristics.
The two strongest characters that ap-
pear in the history Of Scotland since that
country has been civilized are Mary
Stuart and John Knox, who were not
only contemporary. but whose careers
were curiously interviewer and came into
contact on various occasions in the most
romantic and portentous manner.
Mary Stuart and John Knox.
Curiously enough they were at the same
time friends and antagonists
When Mary Stuart came from France

widow Of king who sat upon thrones
of two different countries. Knox was at
the height Of his power and influence
and was practically dictator of public
opinion in her realm. while she exer-
cised practically no authority. either civil
or military. She at once sent for him.
Evidently this shrewd girl was anxious
to exercise her wonderful Vaccinations
upon him. and at the same time was
actuated by curiosity to discover wha,
sort of a man he might be.
Knox judged the pretty widow with
great accuracy. and in letter to Sir
William Cecil dated October Z. 1861, said

His Forbears.
Knox was the. son of vassal of the
Earl Of Boutwell,. father Of Queen Mary's
audacious lover and third husband. whose
love was her ruin. His mother was a
Sinclair, and often In times of peril he
assumed her name and called himself
John Sinclair. He was born in 1903 on
tenant farm near Haddington. seven
teen miles from Edinburgh. He was in
tended for the priesthood, was educated
in the village schools and afterward at
the University of Glasgow, where he
entered the priesthood in 1880 During the
next fifteen years he preached at Long
niddry and Ormiston. and at the same
time added to his scanty stipend by act
ing as tutor to the sons of two families
named Douglas and Cockburn, both of
whom were adherents of the reforma-
ton. When he left them N 1916 he at

sermon he was so active and vigorous
that he was like to ding that pulpit in
