nothing to support the democratic
hope that these local troubles will
warp the judgement and influence the
action of republicans in voting for
national candidates.
Presidential elections are not deter
mined on such issues. Bryan's cam
paigns for the presidency have always
been campaigns of unrestrained hys-
terra, and always failures. This
country is not hysterical. 1t can not
be made SO by a candidate who shifts
with every wind and imagines multi
farious ills for which he proposes
impossible remedies. The republicans
in some of the states have their local
troubles, as the democrats have, but
there is no indications that these are
entering into the national contest.
That will be fought out on different
issues and decided by the intelligent
and deliberate judgement of the
people. Philadelphia Press.

FOR THE ATToRNEYSHIP.
J. M. Gilmore, Republican Candidate. is
Well Fitted For County Prosecutor.

In this issue of The Globe appears
halftone of ]. M. Gilmore, the
republican candidate for prosecuting
attorney of Idaho county.
Mr.. Gilmore is thirty-three years
of age, having been born in Iowa
in 1865. He completed the high
school course and was member of
the class which graduated from the
Iowa state college in 'o8. In 1901
he received the degree of Bachelor of
Laws of the University of Iowa and
was admitted to the practice of law in
the Hawkeye state that same year.
MIR. Gilmore came to Idaho in 1905
and has since made his home in this
city, where he is recognized as one of
the ablest practitioners of law of the
town S corps of attorneys.
The home of MIR. Gilmore and
his wife is frightened by the presence
of two small daughters.

UNBIASED PRESUMPTION.

The democratic candidate for
president is bounding over the country
with the agility and breeziness that
distinguished him in both of his former
campaigns, making from dozen to
10 speeches a day, and promising
everything possible and impossible.
He has been doing this for two or
three weeks.
Unmindful of the small effect this
kind of campaigning on his part had
eight and twelve years when the
crowds he addressed were quite as
large and boisterous as now-his
more buoyant friends pretend to see
that he has already won his election.
They conceive that the republicans
are apathetic; that working people
who are out of employment are going
to vote to continue SO by putting it in
the power of free traders to shut up
and keep shut up all American indus
tries; that, in short, large number
of republican states are either doubt
full or certain to go to democratic,
practically in the west.
There are no substantial grounds
upon which to base any such as
sumption. The democrats have
seized upon certain local conditions in
several of the western states upon
which they are erecting expectation
of partizan gain, through the ques-
tons dividing republicans are not such
as to cause any dissenting voter to
look for or seek relief in the election
of democratic president. There
may be difficulties in Indiana, in
Wisconsin, in Iowa, in Kansas, and
even in Illiois and Ohio, but there is

AN INSTANCE OF PROGRESS.

Citizens of pessimistic nature are
invited to visit the site of the big
grain warehouses along the railroad
grade in the north part of the city
and wise up to what Grangeville is
going to be next year as shipping
and trading point Three large
warehouse each about 200x60 feet in
size are in course of construction.
Thousands of bushels of golden grain
are stored in one and more is coming
every day. The others will be filled
up rapidly as soon as they are in shape
to receive grain The season during
which the farmers will haul most of
their grain to the warehouses is not
near over and the amount of grain
will be unloaded at the warehouses
this fall will be much larger than a
great many people expect

the droopy. languid air that was apt to
spoil a hat of this kind.
Hats are almost startling in their color
propensities. They are very tall and they
are trimmed in ways that make them
seem still taller. The sailor shapes with
immensely high crown, are topped with
rose trees that make the shortest woman
seem tall These tall hats are very be-
coming. and the crowns threaten to grow
higher as the season advances.
Hat Crowns.
Enormous crowns the diameter of din
ner plates are the distinguishing feature
of many hats. They are trimmed with
fancy feathers. lace. grass. flowers ex-
cessively huge or excessively small and
all sorts of contrivances often more &C.
centric than artistic. which recall the
complicated headdress of the first half of
the nineteenth century. To Judge by

at supreme simplicity will do we'll if she

In the Trough of the Sea.
1t was good economy to use the floating
hulks. for they could be handled at far
less cost than the coal schooner of sea-
worthy quality.
For the latter it costs something like
$435 per month. while barge can be
operated for only about $500 month.
Moreover. the original cost of the craft
il far less. for the old hulls that would
answer for a coal barge could be picked
up for almos; nothing and no serious
loss was entailed should they be lost
at sea. The fact that few men. more or
less. found watery graves never entered
seriously into the calculations of the
fathers OF the system.
In fair weather there was no serious
danger but in time OF high seas, rain and
fog the barge was nenaced by perls to
make the stoutest heart quail
During the debate on the hill in the
House the following graphic description
was given OF the pligh: OF barge crew

And that moment came. The storm in
creased to such terrible violence that a
choice was forced between the tugboat
and the barges. The first represented a
liberal Investment of money! the second
was comparatively worthless. Therefore
there could be no hesitation.
The captain silently motioned the Ak
man to his task. When the terror-strick-

barges saw what was being done they set
up the most hideous appeals.
