WAITING FOR ANOTHER.

How Borrower Expects to Square q
Debt.
The impecunious man got the atten-
ton of a group of friends long enough
to tell them a little joke on himself
At first they regarded him with deep
fered more or less from his sorry
habit of borrowing. When he had
convinced them that he had no designs
on their pocketbooks they consented
to listen to his story.

However, being in desperate straits

hadn't heard much about me, for he
went right down into his pocket and

"'Vell,' said my friend. that dream

me that l was half convinced you had

you did l would not have doubted

HEPBURN EMbAR-
ASSES CONVENTION
DECLARES AGAINST THE DIRECT
OF UNITED STATES SENATOR'S.

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 2.-The sec
ond days session of the republican
convention opened today with much
uncertainty in respect to the nomi-
ness for state offices. A movement is
on foot to defeat the nomination of
Congressman French, but it's success
is problematical.
United States Senator Hepburn,
who was nominated yesterday threw
the convention into CONSERVATION by
declaring against the principle of SUBJ
hitting the nomination of United
States senator to the people by d.
rect primary election.
Senator Hepburn in his speech said
it was only right that he who fills the
position of United States senator have
ever in mind the interests of the state
he represents, but that if these inter-
ests were not in accord with the well
fare of the nation, then it must be-
come the duty of the United States
senator to look first to the interests Of
the nation.
Referring to the talk of amending
the constitution of the United States,
he said: 1T should remain as it is.
1t is the bulwark behind which the
people of the nation stand against the
whole world, an ark of safety. The
constitution should be better studie1
by the people, he said. Under il
the people do not seem to understand
what rights they have and they are
very liable to go too far in coDVen-
lions of this character. The constitu.
ton limits the power of the people
Sometimes criticisms unjust to the
United States senator come because
the people say to the lawmakers
Give us this law, or give us that law,
when they do not know whether q
legislator in doing so would violate
his oath under the constitution.

DE WITT C. BRITT AND HIS FIELD
The editor of this paper stated in
the past-four years ago, and again
port the nominees of the republican
party for Office provided they were
qualified and had a clean record.
Upon the faith of such men as Frank
Keller, Dixie Leonard, 2. o. Lanham
and John D. Dill 1--WE could name 9TH
iers equally as prominent and respon-
sible) we decided that Mr.. NJ. E..
Field was not the kind of man We
could conscientiously support for any
Office whatever in the present cam
paign, and we might as we'll state
right here, should he receive the NOM
ination for congress, which is an ex-
tremely remote possibility, this paper
would do all in its power to bring
about his defeat.
Before Mr.. Field announced his
candidacy, but after he introduced
that resolution in the county con-
vention in May last, in which he OPP
and said he advocated putting the
public land in the hands Of a COM
mission, we stated FRANKLY that We
id not sgree with Mr.. Fled.
Four years ago this summer Mr..
Field was a candidate for renomina-
ton to the legislature, but went
down in defeat along with other of
McBride's supporters. After that
defeat he remained in his political
shell for four years, never raising his
voice in support of the republican
party, though the republicans of Che
Ian county had honored him with
election to the legislature. In May
last when the itch for Office again
possessed him he emerged from his
shell and attended the county con-
vention. Do the republicans of Che
Ian county owe him political honors?
Do the republican voters of Che
Ian county owe Mr.. Field any politi-
cal honors?
Honestly, we do not think they
do And we believe the vote on Sep
TENDER 8, will show that they do not.
Reasons, ana good ones, too, for
opposing Fields candidacy arr as
plentiful as blackberries in the days
of Jack acknowledgements

There goes the captain OF the Dukes foreigners
Marry, but he is doughty Knight
One by the contestng armorers' trophies

Duplessis.

from which the choice to be made. The tall cap

however, that he overcame his emotion and awaited
the final result.
Once more the Duke OF Burgundy and his eges
examined the two helmets. An eager discussion
seemed divide them into parties. At last, how
ever the Duke seemed decided, and whispered some
words in his charnberlains Alan almost ceased

favor of the helmet which, while perhaps costly
its rival, is, to his mind, of far more beautiful

hall for the victory of citizen of Bruges popular.

you the right to audience all times since fought

Then up rose the Sire Richard and in good round
phrase denounced Master Jehane Duplessis as thief
and man of falsehood, He recounted the entire
story Of the helmet at the time leading forward
