AS the republican convention
draws nearer it seems more ap.
parent than ever that Congress-
man Burton L. French and Sen
ator W. B. Hepburn will be re-
nominated for the positions
they now hold. In fact, there
has been little, if any, doubt at
any time that they would be the
nominees of their party. And
why not? No two men in the
state could take their places
and do as much for Idaho as
they have done and can do.
Then, too, the nomination of
James H. Brady for governor
seems to be a foregone conclu-
sion. No better man could be
chosen for that position than
Mr.. Brady. In a recent inter
view he declared himself heart
lily in favor of a direct primary
law. But Mr.. Brady has always
favored a direct primary.
The writer was a member of
the so-called insurgents in the
Idaho legislature two years ago
and a direct primary law was
one of our tenets of political
faith. And while Mr.. Brady
tried to bridge the breach in
the legislature, he never op-
posed a direct primary law nor
anything else pledged in the
republican platform. On the
contrary, he seemed anxious
that every party pledge should
be fulfilled. = otlatch Star.

GRASS.

Grass is the forgiveness o.
nature-her constant benedic
ton. Fields trampled will
battle, saturated with blood
torn with the ruts of cannon
grow green again with grass
and carnageisfor Streets
abandoned by traffic become
grass-grown like rural lanes
and are oblitered. Forests de.
cay, harvests perish, flowers
vanish, but grass is immortal.
Beleaguered by the sullen hosts
of winter it withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of its sub
Jerranean vitality, and energies
upon the first. solicitation of
spring. Sown by the winds, by
the wandering birds, propagat-
ed by the subtle horticulture of
the elements, which are it's
ministers and servants, it soft
ems the rude outline of the
world. It's tenacious fbers hold
the earth in place, and prevent
its soluble components from
washing into the sea. It in
vades the solitude of deserts,
climbs the inaccessible slopes
and forbidding pinnacles of
mountains, modifies climates
and determines the history,
and destiny of ma
tons. Unobtrusive and pa
tient, it has immortal vigor and
aggression, Banished from the
,horoughfare and field, it abides
It's time to return, and when |
is relaxed or the dy-
nasty has persisted, it silently |
'esumes the throne from which |
t had been expelled, but which |
t never abdicates. 1t bears no
olazonry of bloom to charm the
senses with fragrance or splen-
lor, but its homely hue is more
enchanting than the lily or the
'ose. 1t yields no fruit in earth
n air, and yet should it's har-
'est fail for a single year, fam
ne would depopulate the world.

are not as much better as they
ought to be, Education to be COM

specimens of the results of the
schools but there Is no reason why
our schools should ot turn out a
great many more. The home, the
church and the school ought to CO.
operate to produce the results
which we seek.
Rev. Mr.. Bates throughout his ad
dress was heard with intense interest
by the capacity audience and It was
evident that they were to say the
least Interested in the welfare OF
the schools. Rev. Bates asked to not
be considered a grumbler. or a pes
simist but to be as one looking
earnestly after the best and seeking
for the best interests OF the future
generations and the credit of the
present.

cessful institute. He noted the need
of teachers paying the closest at
tention possible to everything sal I
for If the eye is lost a very potent
factor in successful work is lost.
