MANY MENDICANTS.

destrians.

1t has been quite noticeable If late
that here are many beggars in Sum-
ter and that they are annoying peo-
pie Oh the streets everyday. While
most people do not object to giving IA
few cents TO these mendicants, and it
Is nothing but right that they should,
yet there seem t. be- manv cases in
hich the beggars are not appaI emily
in great need. A few days age. one.
legged man was helped by many pco-
pie ana later in the day he was ar
rested horribly drunk and disorderly.
Most of these beggars are one-legged
or one-armed but seem to be physi.
ca!Iy able to do some honest work
for a living.
If a person helps an alleged beg
gar and physically disabled person.
he or She docs it in the right spirit
and if the recipient is fake, it is not
the fault Of the giver. but should not
these matters be looked into by the

two one-legged men were begging on

on different siles Of the street, and

CONGRESSMAN FRENCH.

The Inter-mountain country never
has, and never will command the influ-
ence in the National congress that it
should until it exercises more wisdom
than it has known in the past. In the
east they have learned long ago that
statecraft requires that careful train
ing that is so necessary to efficient
work in any other craft. Hence when
a man is eected-to congress from one of
the eastern states it is reasonably GER
tain that he will remain there for years.
In time he masters the intricacies of
congressional work and becomes valu
able to his constituency and the coun-
try at large. In the west it is differ
emit Instead of guarding the Office as
an instrument by which to be Of SER
vice to the people it is too often regard
only from the standpoint of the poll
tician-an honor TO be passed around.
Hence no sooner has man acquired
that training which would make him
useful than he is expected TO step a
side and make room for some other
wouldbe statesman. Too often this
has been done and the result has been
that the Inter mountain country has
been represented in congress by new
men without influence, and they were
not allowed to remain long enough to
acquire any. The seasoned veterans,
familiar with every detail of the game
have had big advantage, and have
used it.
Just now there seems some DISPOSE
ton to repeat this foolishness in idaho.
There are two or three aspirants for
Congressman French's place. Not evi
IDENTIFY with any popular demand of the
people Tor change but because they
want the job 1t is TO be hoped that
better counsel will prevail. Mr. French
is young man, blessed with good
health and mental equipment. He has
been hard worker and accomplished
more than the average man in the briei
time he has been in Washington. He
has just reached the point where he cal

President of representative men in the
various States, is concluded, and the
results are given by States.
The Times having published the re-

need be given at this time.
Taft, it is found, is the first choice of

He is the fir~t, second and third choice
of 80 per cent of the voters.
He is the first choice of every State

"No homestead entry shall be Cancelled
and no final proof shall be rejected be-
cause of any failure of the entryman
named therein to hereafter actually re-
side upon the land covered by his ent y
during the months of January, Febru-
airy and March, or any portion of such

act shall be construed as to relieve the
entryman of the duty of residence dur
ing the months not named herein, and
the period of absence permitted by this
act shall be computed to apply upon the
period of residence required under ex-
isting law"
This is the provision of bill that has
passed the senate in favor of the poor
man who wishes to take up government
land and expects to make it his hohe.
1t is hoped it will become law.
During those winter months man
can do little on piece of raw land. He
can simply make his domicile there,
while, were he away, he might be earn
ing money to improve his farm the next
summer. Should the law fail to pass it
would continue useless hardship on
men who have little money, or leave
the settlement of the land TO those who
have sufficient means to do without
this assistance.
The homestead law was intended to
assist men in earning home, not TO
impose hardship on the settlement Of
tile country by men who wished to inn
prove the land, and not for the purpose
of making it test OF financial endur-
ance.- Spokane Chronicle.
