TOO MUCH POLITICS.

In reply to an editorial in the Nash
 vile American under the caption Whats the Matter With Tennessee? the Commercial-Appeal asserts in an editorial that should make place in the Hall of Fame for its writer that it is case of too much politics.
 The Commercial-Appeal is right, but Tennessee is not alone in possession of this, Old Man of the Sea. Every State in the Union. not the least Of which is Arkansas, is staggering be- meath the same load. The business of office seeking is prospering to the detriment of other business and the harm of it growing daily more ap- parent to those who take the trouble to observe the trend of events.
 This state of affairs is nothing less than deplorable, but when we take into consideration the fact that the business of professional politics grows more degrading each year;
 that instead Of reason and calm judgment governing in the choice of public officials prejudice and passion are brought into play and famed to fever heat by politicians who seek nothing more than se}f-aggrandize- ment and political preference. the si- nation becomes alarming, and sane minds are brought face to face with a serious proposition.
 Where will it end?
 Will the rank and tile-who receive no benefits from politics save through 1 wise legislation--co 10 place 1 men in office merely because they | possess the unhappy faculty of load ing their opponents with abuse or of | welding skillfully the muck-.ake? Have they no regard for the past when statesmen were wise and gov ernment was good?
 The trouble seems to lie with the | leaders, and the question is: How may they be brought to see the error of their ways? Will the brains of the country continue to remain inactive while those who want office and care not how they get st are sinking the country deeper in the mire?
 Of course there must come an awakening, and when it does there will be a renaissance of political in-

ord as opposed to making that the
issue, but directly or indirectly they
never forget that it is their issue,
and perhaps their only issue.
A case in point is the recent crit
icism from democratic papers of the
method of republican apportion-
ment, saying that too much power
was given to the Mormon counties
in the republican convention. Pa
pers that took issue with Dubois and
contended that there was no Nor
mon question, in the same editorial
columns sought to convince the pub
lie that there was a Mormon ques-
ton, but it was in the republican
party.
The republican apportionment
was made on a basis that, when
known, must of necessity be COM
mended for its extreme fairness. The
general average of the republican
state ticket was taken as the basis
ond the estimates for apportionment
made on that, No single candidate
on the ticket seemed to sustain the
right to be chosen as the average,
and the vote ON the whole ticket was
used as a base. But even in this
extreme of fairness the democrats
have come forward with an attempt
to inject Mormonism into the cam
paign. If not followers of Dubois,
they are not far removed from his
cardinal conception of what consti-
tutes a democrat.

ceipts during the year amounting to
$S3,894. $25,65T of this being ac-
credited to the football games. Base

money losers. There is substan-
tial net profit, the greater part of
which is used in Improvements on
the university athletic field.
The University of Idaho athletic
manager has comparatively very
light budget, has has managed to
set aside small amount for the OBJ
tanning of an athletic ED where the
men can practice, and will in the
future have a better show in meet

cut down the profits of the seasons

Interpretation by County Attorney
G. w. Rathbun, who has issued or

that all features of the law relative

attention to the fact that so far
