the balance of power, sent dele
cation to the convention to present
lsbor's own anti-iujunction plank
and with it other demands OF la
Dor. Among o'her demands were
real wants Of some of the people OF
today, people who have been unrep-
resented IN legislation and govern
ment The demands contained an
issue.
But the ready made platform of
Roosevelt and Taft taken to the
convention prevailed and the
demands of the people were either
ignored or so modified that they
lost all value. 1t is a very gen
eral opinion that the American
people will be divided by this
Republican platform. This idea
is also that of Democrats.
The independent voter is not sat-
isfied with the proceedings of the
Chicago convention and patiently
waits the Denver convention next
month. Labor will be there with
its representatives to again present
its anti-injunction plank, and un-
less they are given hearing ther5
will be new party in the field
and one that will te rep. escritative
of the rights of the people. The
chances OF d democrat victory at
the fall election is very great and if
the popular demands of the people
are heeded there will be demo-
cratic landslide in national affairs
such as history fails 10 record.
The Republican convention fai ed
10 adopt the liberal demands of its
liberal members. Conservatism
won end all attempts for liberal
resolutions we're throttled by an
overwhelming majority.
taft, man utterly lacking in
presidential qualifications, was
rammed down the throat Of the co :
venticn by the big Stick,' and
was not the popular candidate of
the convention. Whether he W i'll
succeed in winning his way into
the confidence of the American
p oplc sufficiently to win the CON-
ing election depeni Is much on the
efforts of his master, The dore
Roosevelt. II is generally stated
that if he wins the election, it will
be necessary for Teddy to throw
off his coat and stump the land
from coast to coast and then the re-
suit will be very doubtful.
This is democratic year and I'M
less all signs fail, Bryan's march
to the White House will be unin-
terrupted. He is the most popular
man before the people for presi-
dental honors today, and since the
Chicago convention his success
seems surer than ever. II is time
for all good Democcists to unite
for the party candidate and victory
is sure to follow.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
REAL IDAHO WEATHER

The weather thus far this year
had been very changeable and pos
sibly more disagrecable than any
OF the old timers are able to recall.
The cold winds that have pre-
vailed all spring, the frequent rats
and chilly days are very unlike
the weather Idahoans are want
to experience. But Idaho has not
been the only state to suffer tie
incIemencies OF the weather. Re-
ports from all sections Of the
United States indicate fate and
Backward spring with late frosts
and icy winds in many instances.
During the past month the Dak-
otas have experienced two killing
frosts and ice was formed to the
depth of quarter of an inch. In
Montana on Decoration Day the
old soldiers stood ia snow up to
their knees while they paid re-
spects to departed comrades.
Through the central eastern states
the worst floods known in years
are sweeping the low lands and
making thousands hoincless besides
destroying millions of dollars
worth of property. No section
has been free fro n storms and late
frosts much less our own state of
sunshine.
Idaho has had less sunshine tie
pas. spring than in many years but
has been generously favored with
rainfall. Although we are de-
pendent on irrigat ion tor our water
stili the now settler twho is culti-
waiting his land tor the first time
has received irrigation from the
clouds more bountifuily than ne
opuld have received In any other
manner. New latcrais and bitches
are al Nays more or tess trouble
some and the seepage often takes
great share of tho water which
makes irrigation for the newcom-
or discouraging and often very IN
satisfactory. The rains have been
pleatiful and sufficient for pres
ent needs and there shou d be no
crop failures for those who have
fields in grain aud hay. The
warm winds Of the past week and
the glorious sunshine have started
vegitation from tho gsound as if by
nagic and everything seems to
feei new impulse of life.
We have no occasion to complain
about the weather or conditions.
Between our brcezcs and the cy-
alones, floods and heat prostrations
Of other sections it should not be
very hard to choose.

SEEKS HEARING ELSEWHERE
Evident Object of Thaw Bankruptcy
Proceedings.

Pittsburg. Aug. 14.-Every move In
the Thaw bankruptcy proceedings has
shown the determination of Thaw and
his counsel to take his case out of
the New York courts and force hear
ing on the question of his mental con-
dition In the courts of Pittsburg.
Local attorneys say that any OF
Thaw's creditors have the legal right
to appeal to the United States court
here to have Referee Blair's order of
Wednesday adjudging Thaw a bank
Yupt set aside on the ground that he
Is insane. This would carry the ques-
tion of Thaw's sanity before the Unit
ed States district court, which would
decide whether Thaw has a right to
proceed as a bankrupt.
The question OF Thaw's sanity also
can be raised at the meeting of the
creditors, which takes place within
ten days Some believe that soon
after Thaw Is brought here to face his
creditors an inquest in lunacy will be
instituted in local county courts.
If the verdict in such inquest should
be that Thaw is sane New York au
thorities probably would be unable tc
get him back to that state, where the
only ground for holding him a pris
oner at present is that he Is insane.

BIG ORDER FOR CARS.
Hartman Roads In the Market for Six
Thousand.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Hartman
roads are In the market for 5000 steel
ears. No order has been placed, but
the car equipment companies have
been notified that this amount repre-
sents the total Of an early purchase
by the Hartman lines and for more
than half of the cars there have been
filea specifications on which the
equipment companies may base their
bids. Competition between the COM
paniss is said to be keen, for the
order. II filled, will be altogether the
largest since the panic.
The estimated cost of the 5000 steel
cars ranges all the way from $4,000
900 to $7,O00,000. II Is expected that
the lower figure will prove nearer cor
rect, for the reason that the competi-
ton between the car equipment COM
panies may result in cut price.

asleep. He orept close to the side of
the bed and, raising the weapon.
brought 1t down with terrific force
across the neck of the son. The blow
