The United States government has
recently INDUCED in some rather ex-
tensive and elaborate magazine adver-

boy in a Peter Thompson suit buy

looking Spanish sonora, the whole ex

reach the heart Of an impressionable
youth. 1t is undeniably attractive, but
is it true? A suspicion unavoidably
turks that the promulgators Of the
advertisement havev been guilty at
least Of exaggeration.-s IF SO, is it
justifable? We have been brought up
to believe that democratic govern

be impartially truthful. Only foreign
diplomats should lie. Government ad-
vertisements in the past have been
nothing beyond the mere " colorless
statement Of facts and needs. Why
the changer
This new departure brings the sug-
gestion that something is wrong
somewhere. We are reliably informed
that a large number of men are now
out of work. The bare announcement
of two or three lines in the want
column that man is wanted at a.
certain address is sufficient to bring a
score. Why, then, should the gov
eminent need an expensive *'ad'
writer for so good a job as is pic
tured? If it is all true about that
fruit and that romtntic sonora, why
don't the boys so write home to their
friends, which would result in a verit-
able bombardment Of applicants at
the recruiting stations?
Of course, no one could answer
these questions except Andrew Car
negie or Richard Croker, and they
are probably both abroad. And, be-
sides, we better not take it up I'M

MINNESOTA'S BEST ADVERTISE

A. Johnsons stated" was the ex-
clamatlon from dozen Threats, and
the face Of the Minnesotan frightened
into radiancy with the mention of
the magical name Of the popular gov
ernor of his home state.
It developed that the passengers in
the car of the Empire State express
haiiec from widely separated parts of
our nAtion but each seemed to know
as much about the attachments of
Governor Johnson as did the Mime
sotan, whose pride expanded with the
his governor. All seemed to know Of
his early struggles; his experiences in
politics, and his accomplishments as
chief executive Of the North Star
state. Each gave utterance to the
sentiment that some day the nation
would call him TO perform higher
service for his country.
Minnesota ranks among the first Of
the several state in many respects.
It's fertile fields produce cereal pro-

Judge Toulnin, Of the United States

handed down a decision legalizing the
issuing of brass checks in place of
money, by the lumber companies Of

pay their employees. These checks

Bonners Ferry and Bonner

The assessed valuation of person
al and real property in Bonner
County increased over $4,000, 900
last year according to the figures of
the the county assessor. When
there is added to this the increase
in railway property, the figures
will be nearer 100000. This in
crease is greater than the total
assessed valuation of each of one
third of the counties of the State.

There are objections to the pri-

it gives the centers OF population
an undue influence in political

even that objection does not over

Want Direct Primary

The Republicans of Bonner
County have declared for direct
primary and the HERALD hopes
that the state convention will do
likewise. The present system of
nominating county officers is sub
ject to great abuse. Our primary
election law is about the poorest
excuse of law that was ever con-
ceived. 1t is weak in several par
ticulars. The issue is usually fought
out over the claims of one candi-
date, while the rest of the ticket is
lost sight of. Democrats vote in
Republican primaries, and vice
verse. Fraudulent voters can take
part in primaries. and it is almost
impossible to stop them.
The convention system is also
capable of abuse. We have seer
majorlties turned. into minorities
by bribery and other corrupting
influences There are always
enough men in convention sus
ceptable of bride that the scales
of victory may be turned, and th'
will Of the people defeated.

candidates, and the total vote o

New Course of Study for High

School opens Tuesday, Septem-
Der Sth. The building is being
put in good order for another year
of work. Six teachers are now
employed and the indications are
that another may be needed, A

Board is sparing neither pains nor
cost to have everything the best

in any high school of whatever size.
The completion of this course will
admit the student to the State

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS

Going back nto history little

party In power. The first great pan.
ic we had was in 1897. which re-
suited I'm the complete rout of the
democrats In 1888 and 1910. The
next one occurred in 81 which also
resulted in a republican house of
1858 and the democratic rout of
1860, the third great panic occurr-
ed in 1873 under Grant which re.
suited in the sweeping democratic
congressional victory in 1874 and
again in the election OF Mr.. Tilden
In 1876. In 1898. this country had
another severe panic and the repub.
licans then claimed that the demo

LAST TALK AS PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE TONIGHT

Omaha, Neb,. Nov. 2.-Speeding into

democratic donkey, with William j..

home track of its driver today. This
evening the Nebraskan will make his
last appearance as presidential can
didate, and tomorrow he win cast his
ballot for himself In his home pre-
cinct at Lincoln and then establish
himself in Fairview, where the tele-
graph wires will click out the fateful
news.
Cheering and smiling as ever, the
standard-bearer of democracy Is
awaiting tomorrow's verdict OF the
people with ePlanimity. Whatever
the result of the third battle"-
whether It makes him the greatest
man of the nation or leaves him a
private citizen-Mr. Bryan will ap-
parently remain untouched OF eX-
I treme elation or dire grief. AS he
himself declares, he has had expert
ence in sustaining defeat, and while
he is confident and serene at what
he considers certain victory, he is
prepared for any issue of the fight.
At the Nebraska headquarters OF
both parties, statements were issued
today announcing certain victory to-
morrow. There is more than politi
cal buncombe in these pronounciar
mentoes, as the republicans are al
most universally firm in the faith
