WHY WE LOST

The Boise papers tell OF the con-
test for the state convention to be
held in the north part of the state In
a manner which shows that Occur
d'Alene was handed a bunch, probab-
ly as a punishment for voting the
democratic ticket SO strongly at the
last election. Here Is a report of that
part OF the proceedings as taken
from Boise paper:
Chairman Brady called the com
mittee to order and stated that the
first business was the selection of a
place for holding the convention in
the northern part OF the state. A. v.
Chamberlin Of Occur d'Alene, stated
that representatives of Wallace and
of Occur d'Alene had agreed to sub
init the names of their cities to the
committee without any discussion.
b. r. o'Neil of Wallace, assented to
this. b. s. Grove then announced
that the name of Lewiston would be
Withdrawn. which left but two cities
to vote upon. The ballots were
quickly prepared and counted. show
ing that Wallace had received 10
votes and Occur d'Alene 3. one com
mitteeman not voting. Senator Hart
OF Fremont county. and Colonel Al
len Miller of Grangeville, acted as tel
lers during all the balloting.
From this II is plain that our dele
gates had very little influence or
were jobbed by the Mormon combina-
tion which dominated the meeting.
We do not know which is correct
but have confidence In the loyalty
and integrity of the delegation sent
to the meeting and that leaves the
other horn OF the dilemma as the
only solution OF the fact that this
city received but three votes. One Of
these was the vote of theKootenai
committeeman, leaving two. which
were cast by Latah and Idaho coun-
ties. The committee did its work, as
will be seen by an interview with MIR.
Chamberlin In this issue, but II is
the same old story that comes from
Mormondom. The people of Occur
d'Alene will not forget these things
when election day comes.

Excellent Results Produced BY Hot Air

Baking a patient as n cure for burns
Is the new method now used in RoOse-
welt hospital, New York. For years
sun baths and fresh air have been
used with excellent results in cases of
unusually bad burns. but about four
months ago the Roosevelt hospital doc
tors devised scheme whereby the
burned person is confined In a variety
Of oven and his body subjected to a
continuous stream of hot air.
This idea, which Is new one to the
medical profession. has proved very
successful, patients having been cured
whose bodies were scared nearly half
over, while as rule when the surface
of the body is one-thlrd burned the
case is deemed fatal.
This oven continuance is made of bed.
clothes, which are stretched over lat
ticework to keep them from coming
in contact with the patient. The heat
Is furnished by a common gas stove,
which stands by the bedside. On this
stove is n specially contrlved air cham
ber much after the fashion OF hot
air furnace. From this air chamber a
tube runs underneath the bed. sending
a constant flow Of heated air under the
clothes. But as the mir must be always
fresh the blankets lie loosely about the
patients neck. allowing ventilation.
From time to time the patient is
moved to allow the heat to strike all
burned parts Of the body regularly.
while at intervals Il special salve is
rubbed on the patient. AS fast as this
cakes from the heat 1t is removed and
fresh lotion is applied. By this
means many lives which otherwise
would have been lost have been saved.

The Nautical Knot.

In referring to the speed OF vessels
we speak Of the number Of knots tray

OF distance. and the term comes from
the old method of finding the speed Of
a vessel by means of three cornered
piece OF wood with weight attached
to one side to hold 1t upright in the
water. To each corner was fastened a
cord. and to the junction Of these cords
was attached the log line. This log

MORMON DOMINATION

The Mormons dominated the re-
publican state committee meeting at
Boise Monday and arranged the APP
poTtionment TO give them control OF
the two state conyentionse. This Is
not q mere statement. but based on
the figures. There viii be 292 dele
gates In the republican conventions
Of this state and Of this number 122
are to come from Mormon counties.
In the apportionment BannoCk coun-
~ Is given is delegates, Bear Lake
"a. bingham 2a. Cassla I, Fremont
IS and Oneida %. These will be
Mormon delegates. making a total OF
l22. which leaves TO delegates to
come from the counties not control
led by the Mormons. There Is no reas-
why 10 to rs Mormon delegates
may not easily be elected from some
OF the other southern counties where
the cult Is very strong and able 10
control a heavy yote-the counties
where they hold the balance of power
between the two leading political par
tles-so that Il is safe to give the
Mormons such great power that
they will easily make combination
20 control the conventions. which
means that no one can receive a nom
ination without FIRST securing the
sanction OF the Mormon church au-
thoritles and our advice to all
who wish to win is for them to
make pilgrimage to Salt Lake and
consult that old polygamlst. Joseph
Smith, seer. reyelator and father of
4a, and the Lord only knows how
many more. This Is what republican
voters OF Idaho are up against.

Here is Argentina getting ready to
celebrate the one hundredth anniYef-
sary Of the beginning of her war for
Independence In 1910. She invites the
Pan-American congress TO meet that
year in Buenos Ayres. her capital. The
congress has met once In the United
States. once In Mexico and once IN
Brazil, The ambition Of Argentina to
receive this honor is reminder of the
steady growth and future promise OF
the Spanish race in America And the
Spaniards in the old world are not de-
clining. We quit knocking old Spain
knocking holes In her navy, and we
have never attributed our easy victory
to inherent degeneracy of our foes. As
race the Spaniards have held their
own In the world, although the mother
country has not retained her once
proud position among the world pow
ers.
That the Spanish colonists In Ameri-
ca did not cut loose from the mother
country in order to have an easy timc
and "go TO the dogs" on their own
hook is shown by the progress that has
been made In L.atin-Amerlcan coun-
tries in less than 100 years Of free do
velopment. Not the least notable fea-
ture Of this development Is the per
sistence OF the Spanish tongue In It's
purity, Notwithstanding that the South
American states have drawn from Eu-
rope thousands and thousands Of Inn
migrants speaking other tongues. To
the Spanish speaking nations belongs
today more than One-fourth of the sur
face OF the globe. In that future align
ment OF races which 1t is often pre-
dicted the strife and competition OF
civilization will bring about, the Span
lards in point of numbers and dlstrIbu-
ton and also In the value and strate-
gIc Importance OF their holdings will
find leading place. The southern
half OF this hemisphere is most ia
vorable field for racial enlargement.
and the Spanish element in occupation
displays vitality which gives hope Of
future greatness.

ing 81 of the human body, applying
a vacuum about 1t and supplying oxy-
gen to the body from the lungs only.
BY this method poison can be driven
out Of the system. 1t is also designed
for use as a thermal or sweat bath
and for impregnatlng the body with
medicaments. The receptacle is in the
form of a huge glass bowl sufficiently
large to entirely incase the human
body when sitting and all of the body
except the head when standing. 1t is
made of two alright sections In the
top is an opening for admitting air and
another to allow the head to protrude.
The patient inhales through the
mouth tubes. and the operator, by
working a pump and drawing of tho
air, creates vacuum which causes
the pores of the patient to open.
The poison is thus drawn off from
the body through the pores, and the

Soon after Mrs. Chadwick was
hurled from her prison cell death ex-
posed the career of another woman

who lived In the millionaire district OF

bert borrowed large sums from French
capitalists on the strength Of securities
that were a myth. Mrs. Chadwick did
the same, and the verneule woman
traded largely upon her supposed close
connection with wealthy New Workers
whose financial standing is as good as
gold.
