Although the nominating con-
ventions are still long way in the
future, the press of the state is in
dustriously engaged in making up
tickets. This is harmless diver
sion and serves a good purpose. 1t
brings the aspirants into the lime
light, and their fitness or weakness
for the position for which they are
being talked of is brought out. In
this way public sentiment crys-
talizes and the men who are want
ed are nominated.
Among the Republicans, the
three men most talked of up
around the head of the ticket are
Brady, French and Ailshie. The
general impression is that Hon.
James H. Brady will be nominated
for Governor. In fact if MIR. Brady
seriously desires the nomination,
no other name will be seriously
presented to the convention.
Should he not want the nomina-
ton, which is entirely within the
range of probabilities, then a pro-
life crop of candidates would
spring up. 1t is well known that
Mr.. Brady's ambition is to become
U. S. Senator, but it is not expect
ed that he would oppose Hey
and the senatorial positions are
now so admirably filled that he
can not hope to succeed in that di-
rection for many years. But he
no doubt desires to keep himself in
trim for that honor, and the Gov
ernorship is more likely to kill off
his chances than to strengthen
them. The present political con-
dition of Governor GoodIng is an
illustration of this fact. Mr.. Brady
won the friendship of the entire
party at Pocatello two years ago by
retiring from the Senatorial contest
in the interest of harmony. 1t is
conceded that he stood an excellent
show to have defeated Borah in the
convention, but he proved too big
a man to imperil the party. Some
one had to give way, and Brady
made the sacrifice and thereby dis
armed all opposition.
Should Brady not be a candi-
date, there would be a large list to
draw from. Such men have been
spoken of as former Governor Nor
rison, Hon. Frank T. Wyman, A.
B. Moss, former candidate, Hon. B.
F. O'Neil, Hon. Charles L. Heit-
man, former Congressman Wilson,
Judge Fremont Wood, former Sen
ator Lewis, Judge Steele and Mayor
Haines of Boise. Any of these men
are eminentlv qualified for the
governorship. Among the younger
blood in this list is Frank T. Wy
man of Boise. In the whole list
Wyman comes nearer being the
Roosevelt type of man. Strong
able, honest, aggressive, with the
courage of his convictions, Wymar
would idealize the peoples con
{ ception of the elements governor
/ should possess. In the last legis
lature of which. he was leader h,

THE COURT HOUSE
1t is Still up in the Air in Regard
to Settlement

The county commissioners will
meet again next Tuesday, when it
is expected that there will be an
other bloodless battle over matters
pertaining to the court house
There has been much discussion of
this matter for the past two or three
weeks, and much matter has been
injected into the discussion that is
entirely foreign thereto. To the
disinterested taxpayer there has
been more politics and personnel
abuse than there has been court
house, in both talk and print, on
both sides.
If we understand the contro-
versy, about the only question in
volved, when stripped of its Sand
point feuds, is as to rental Bonner
county shall pay for the We'll
building for court house. Com
missioners Dunn and Clark claim
that the board had verbal agree
ment with Mr.. We'll to pay $3.50
per month for the building. Com
missioner Roth and Mr.. We'll de-
clare that there was no such agree
ment on the present building, that
the $3.50 per month was to have
been the charge on a frame build
ing talked of at the time.
So there you aEl
1t now develops that the board
of county commissioners has put
between five and six thousand dol
lars into the We'll building, in the
form of fixtures and vaults, with
out scratch of a pen with Mr..
We'll as to reimbursement, or as to
what they should pay for rental.
We believe that Mr.. We'll could
kick them all out, by giving &c
days notice, and the money Bon
ner county has expended would be
lost to the county.
1t is these facts that will impress
fthe taxpayers more than the 5000
rental that the scrap is over, FIJI.
sons politics, or whose addition
gets the court house.
The county records, so we are
informed, show no record of any
agreement of any kind concerning
the court house.
Taxpayers of Bonner county ex-
pect their money to be handled in
business-like manner, and the
best bargain possible to be secured
with every expenditure.
The HERALD has no favorites to
play in this matter, and we leave
to the reader to draw his own con-
clusion.

TOPICS.
Brady or Wyman for Governor seem to
Strike a Popular Cord.

mary, antitrust legislation and
anti-pass laws. In this he was OPP
posed by a large element in the
party, although all but one of these
propositions were included in the
last Republican state platform.
We do not believe that the Repub-
Leans of Idaho can afford to nomi-
nate any man for Governor who
went back on the last state plat
form.
For Congressman, Mr.. French
will again go before the convention
with every prospect of winning.
The usual tactics are being employ
ed to secure his defeat. These
tactics are to induce large crop
of men easily susceptible of the
swelled head to come out as candi-
dates for Congress or Governor in
counties where French sentiment
is strong.
The fact that Mr.. French is a
vote getter and therefore popular
with the people and the man the
people want in Congress must al
ways be recognized. Take Koote-
mai and Bonner counties for ex-
ample. These counties, as old
Kootenai, gave Mr.. French 800
majority in 1906, while the Demo-
Gratis almost carried the county for
the rest of the ticket Now, Candi-
date Hamer's friends are booming
Hon. Joseph Fallon of Kootenai
for Congress. In the mean time
Mr.. French has been right on pub
lie questions, and has done nothing
to forfeit the good opinion of
KootenaI and Bonner counties,
while Mr.. Fallon has, as mem Der
of the legislature, voted with the
railroad lobby and opposed the
anti-pass law, a railroad commits
sion bill, a reciprocal demurrage
law, and direct primay law. And
Mr.. Fallon's candidacy is not the
most inconsistent that has been
proposed. We do not believe the
people will turn down French.
Judge Ailshie for supreme judge
does not seem to have any opposi-
ton, and should not have.
Robert S. Bragaw is a candidate
for state treasurer and has friends
all over the state. The fact that
he has shown that he could not be
bulldozed has added to the good
opinion the state has of him. All
they have been able to say against
Bob is that he employed mem bers
of his family as clerks. In the
light of the fact that the State Au-
ditor's Office is acknowledged to be
the most Systematically and effici-
emily conducted office in the state
D., house, this only seems to add cred

ficial discount rates of the Bank of England and the Bank of France were made the occasion for opening of prices on a higher level A desire to reduce holdings at profitable levels was argued from the eagerness of the selling on the advance and prices fell back sharply to the lowest at last. A rapid progress toward ease in the mon ey market was unaccompanied by any positive evidence of a revival ithus stimulated in trade activity although an improvement in sentiment in vari- ous lines of trade is discernible. This is true of the iron and steel trade. Suggestions of new loans, even when it was reported that they were already arranged caused a depression of the existing securities of the companies affected. The handful of railroads which have reported net earnings for December can not safely be accepted as a criterion of the general showing to be made but the shrinkage shown by these is so heavy as to leave a formidable impression of the possible exhibit be made by the complete figures.

has been made for some months to the negotiations instituted by Ambassador OBrien with the Mikados government looking to a lessening of the number of our noble allies coming to this country What stage of negotiation has been reached nobody knows. It is understood that the Japanese have submitted q plan to restrict emigra- tion to the United States and preserve their national dignity. It was slso understood that the plan was not quite satisfactory to our state department and that a reply containing sugges- tions for improvement was being pre- pared at Washington Pending the unsettled state of the immigration there would certainly be a satisfactory and even happy conclusion. eventual ly, and that the traditional friendship" of the two countries would remain un- disturbed.
 In the meantime popular interest in this country in any plan which the Japanese may adopt to keep themr selves at home, has been restrained, though here and there has been a lit- tie sporadic curiosity concerning it.
 The dispatches of yesterday morn- ing described the manner in which Baron Hayashi, the Japanese foreign minister was going to stem the Jap anese tide to Hawaii. Only two classes of laborers will be permitted to leave Japan for the islands One is composed of laborers who have been there, and are returning, and the other of those who have near relatives in Hawaii
 We think we see how, under skillful management, practically the entire population of Japan might D trans ferred to our Pacific islands without violating the liberal provision relating to this latter class. The largest ele- ment of the Hawaiian population is now Japanese and 1t may be presum- ed that most of the Mikado's subjects there have relatives in Japan who would thus be allowed to emigrate. A near relative may be so by ties of marriage or cOnsanguinity and those who had been so attracted to Hawaii would leave relatives at home who would be entitled to come It may be that the order does not contemplate such an interminable arrangement, but in any case it provides that the Japan ese population in the islands may be doubled, quadrupled or raised to the nth" power.
 If this is the sort of restriction sug- gested in the Japanese proposal to MT. O'Brien, and if 1t is further sug- gested that no vital notifications of 1t will be consented to by Japan, it is no wonder the state department is taking its time in framing a reply. It may be waiting until Admiral Evans fleet arrives on the west coast, when this government will feel at liberty to engage in exclusion legislation.
