That New Bank.

Two weeks ago Mining News had a
news item to the effect that the bank of
Sites had leased the corner room in the
Commercial hotel block, and would
move soon. Next day after the paper
reached the Spokane Chronicles ex-
change table the big daley had the fol-
lowing item:
THE mining camp at Elk City, which
has been particularly lively since the
sale of the famous Buster mine to F.W.
Bradley and associates in the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan, is to have a new
banking house. A late report from Elk
City states that the bank of Sites will
open a branch institution at Elk City in
few days. Quarters for the bank
have been leased and furniture and fix
lures are now being installed"
Of course, when this paper made the
item in regard to the new quarters
leased by the bank, all of our readers
knew that the commercial hotel is in
Sites, and not Elk City. In the future
we shall try and avoid any technicalities
in our news items that would lead to
error by the youth on the Chronicle who
edits the mining news page with the
shears.

didates and making platforms on which
they shall ask for the support of the
voters. If anyone wants to know the
reason for the overthrow of the bosses
the information can be had by going
back the brief span of two years and
learning the promises the bosses made
IN the Pocatello convention, and then
search the records of the last Legislature
and see how nicely those vote-getter
promises were left unused, for future
emergencies. A bigger gold brick was
never sold than that the voters barg-
aimed for at the last state election.
Not promise made was carried out,
but the session did. for the greater
part, things It ought not have done and
burdened the statutes will laws that
can not be enforced because they are
repugnant to the will of the best-and
the most law-abiding citizens of the
state.
With the history of the two years just
past it is no wonder the voters are sit
ting down on the bosses. 1t is well to
begin early. Colonel Hamer may pos
sess all the qualifications that go to
make useful congressman, but he
must not be familiar with the signs of
the times when he permits his recon-
mendation to the voters to be made by
men who are known to be nothing but
ring bosses, seeking to advance only
those principles they can use best.

Tired Of the Bosses.

The Bear Lake County Post, printed
in Paris, is another of the newspapers
that have tired of political bossism in
Idaho, and from this time forth will be
edited by the editor when it comes to
topics political. The declaration of in
dependence follows an attempt on the
part of Colonel Hamer's friends in the
boss ring in the southeast" to place
him in the light as full fiedged con-
gressional aspirant, without the sane
ton of the Independents" The Post
says:
''For the benefit of our political
friends in Fremont county and every
where else, we will state that the re-
publicans of Bear Lake county are all
SO busy attending to their own affairs
that they have no time to talk politics
for several months yet, and those of
you who are getting busy in fixing up
states for US, we will take great pleas
ure in smashing them when the proper
time comes.
1--WE are heartily sick of 'bossism' in
any form and those fool friends of Col
onel Hamer have injured his candidacy
very materially with US, and we believe
generally throughout the southeast. 1t
is too late in the day for a few pin
headed politicians to get together and
fix up slate. Bossism is dead in the
republican party of Idaho and the party
will have no more of it. From this
time on the members of the party are
going to have something to say, and
they will say it both long ald loud
when the time comes and it is full time
to relegate to the rear those would-be
leaders who dare to dictate the policy
of the party or even to presume that
they have any right to speak the senti-
ments of the southeast The republi-
can party has no need of bosses and it
is not going to have any,"
The sentiments expressed by the Post
in regard to ring rule are not confined
to the southeast" They appear to be
the feeling expressed by voterA in all
parts Of the state And it should cause
no surprise that the members of the re-
publican party are going to have no
more of the bosses in bringing out can
