THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

Fl there is any basis for the line Of
thought presented at the recent republican
mass meeting in Boise, where it. was init
mated, if not directly stated, that there is
to be fight made upon Senator Heyburn's
reelection then the better, more conserva-
tive, and sincere members of the republican
party throughout the state should immedi-
ately don their fighting clothes and get into
the ring. No political act this state could
commit would be more foolish, more detri-
mental to her own best interests than to fail
toreturn to the national congress the great
est man she has ever given political prom-
nence.
Senator Hepburn is today national
character of recognized ability, strength
and influence. His absolute sincerity in
everything he has undertaken has given
him the confidence of his own colleagues.
His keen perception and faculty for anal
wing every subject presented, coupled with
his matchless logic, his strong and impress
sive manner of debate has made him a pow
er on the floor, and when he arises to de-
fend or oppose a measure he commands the
closest attention.
Thename he won early in his career as a
oChoONi' NJ oSlhS oPPooSN w oIO
tration has not been against him. By his
fearless stands for what he thought was
right he has prevented the administration
from doing a number of things which might
have been of serious consequence, and the
administration admires and respects Ida
hos senior senator today.
Senator Hepburn is the most popular man
in the state OF Idaho today with the masses
despite the fact that the leading republican
paper of the state, The Boise Statesman,
has never been fair toward him. and has at
all times tried to belittle his efforts. 1t is
fortunate that the Statesman enjoys no
greater circulation in the state than other
mediums that are inclined TO give fair and
impartial reports. The people have long
ago learned not to be influenced by the
colored and distorted news reports that APP
pear in the columns of the Statesman. Sen
ator Keyburn's record is known to the peo-
pie of Idaho Even if the Statesman has
published only the defeats he has met with,
making prominent news features of each
one, and placed the glory of his many vic
tories around the heads of favortes whom
that paper would force into popularity. The
people have not been fooled to any extent
and Hepburn is today, as he has been for
the past four years, the big man of Idaho
with the masses.

A TIME TO ACT.

Next Monday night is the time set for
the initial steps in the organization of the
Merchants Protective Association. The
committee appointed for the purpose of
submitting constitution and bylaws and
plans of organization is to report at this
meeting and steps are to be taken toward
perfecting permanent organization.
There was a good attendance at the first
meeting called for the purpose of etfecting
this organization Practically all the bust
ness interests of the city were represented
at this meeting and indications we're that
the plan would meet with success
The meeting Monday night should be as
largely attended. The organization of
Merchants Protective Association is step
that will mean more to Montpelier as ii
business center than any other one thing
that could be accomplished. Montpelier
business men have tendency to become
enthusiastic over any new suggestion. They
all manifest an interest until it seems evil
dent that there is spirit to accomplish the
object, then all at once the entire matter is
allowed to drop, and their good intentions
avail them nothing because no executive
ability is shown. Montpelier almost had

OLD jim BRlDGER.
A Rocky Mountain Guide Who Thought
Munchausen Was a Liar.

Sir George Gore, a wealthy Irish
sportsman, began in 1855 a hunting
expedition among the Rocky noun
tains which occupied two years and
exceeded anything of the kind ever
seen on this continent. The outfit
consisted of fifty persons, including
secretaries, a steward, cooks, hymak-
ers, dog tenders, servants, a train
of thirty wagons and numerous sad
die horses and dogs.
Old Jim Bridger was Sir Georges
guide and interpreter, and no man
on the frontier knew the glens and
passes Of the mountains SO accurate
ly as he did. Though illiterate and
as unconventional as an Indian,
Bridger was honest, kind, generous
and shrewd-just the man to at
tract the Irish sportsman.
In his cold Santa Fe Trail" Colo
mel Inman describes the companion
ship of the two men-one a rich,
educated, whole souled Irish noble
man, the other a man who from
boyhood had lived on the plains,
depending on his tact and rifle for
food and life.
Sir George would lie in bed until
10 o'clock in the morning. Then he
took a bath, ate his breakfast and
set out generally alone for the days
hunt. 1t was not unusual for him
to remain out until 10 at night, and
he seldom returned without "meat.'
His dinner was then served, to
which he extended an invitation to
Bridger.
After the meal was over Sir
George was in the habit of reading
from some book and drawing out
from Bridger his ideas about the
author.
The Irishman usually read from
Shakespeare, which Bridger reck-
oned was too h~ighfalutln for him.
""Thet thar big Dutchman, Mr..
Fullstuff," he commented, "was a
leetle too fond of lager beer"
Sir George read the Adventures
Of Baron Munchausen" to Bridger,
who remarked that he'd be dog
goned eff he swallowed everything
that thar baron said. He thought
he was a ~"liar," yet acknowledged
that some of his own adventures
among the Blackfeet would be
equally wonderful eff writ down in
q book"
Bridger thought Sir George a sue
cessful hunter, an opinion justified
by the records of the two years
hunt-forty grizzly bears, $500 buff
faloes, numerou a~ntelopes and 9th
er small game.
