MotorcycIes for Women.

A Milwaukee man, IN describing
the sights of New York, says that
one of the impressive spectacles Is
the regular procession OF mOtorcy-
cles down Broadway about the mid
die OF the morning. The disting-
uishing thing about the parade is
the number OF women who take part
IN the snort, not as workers, but as
passenger. Evidently motorcyclists
believe in having their wivel or
sweethearts share the game with
them. pnd many of the machines arc
constructed with that point in view
ono particularly smart one is of a

although an assay has not been

it is very rich. The rock from one

young man took it, in surprised

then read it carefully, as though
it was the latest edition of some
paper. The waiter smiled and
winked over his shoulder at some
of the other walters. The groom
studied the bill of fare for FIVE
minutes, and said nothing, but
his face got r,dder and redder.
Then he hadned it (the fare, not
his face) to his ecstatic bride, and
she read it through. but did not
know what it meant. They had
never seen a bill of fare before.
They wanted something to eat
angel food, or ice cream, or dough

to get it. Finally the waiter sug
gested a few things, and after
another five minutes the bride
risked a beefsteak, and the groom
blew himself for an oyster stew.

SENATOR HEPBURN

The Index has always had I
great dta of admiration for Sena
tor Hepburn. He is a man o.
ability, of conviction, and of cour
age. and commands the respect Of
his colleagues and the administra-
ton. We fully endorse the follow
ing from the Shoshone Journal
1t is coming near the time when
the Republicans of Idaho viii! have
TO say something on the senatorial
question. Senator Hepburn has
filled his place bonorably and well
He has not pleased everybody
he has not tried to, and no other
Iuan of self.respect would try to
/please everybody He has at all
times, however, been an open
friend or an open enemy of what
ever cause was up for discussion.
Senator Hepburn is better known
in the east perhaps than he is even
in Idaho; there, he stands as one
of the biggest men in Washington.
He has not been in personal ac-
cord with the president at all
times; but the same can be said OF
La Toilette. Hughes, and host OF
other strong, independent men who
are too big to follow even Roose-
welt in all things and still be true
10 themselves. Idaho was perhaps
not unit in selecting Hepburn;
but we should be a unit i'll recog
nizing the rare ability, independ
ence, honesty and hard-won com
manding position OF the senior
senator. Idaho does not want a
Timber kneed sycohant, a jollier, a
man who agrees with everybody |
but a man with opinions and
honesty. who will bring to bear his
best ability for the interest of the
state and country. There is no
reason to suppose that man Of the
opposite tpye could ever get to rep
resent Idaho hut since the prin-
.ipal fight made on Hepburn has
been that he is independent rather
than conciliatory, the state eannot
lfford TO risk letting him go for
.hese very seasons which are their

The Journal would favor giving
Senator Hepburn the Republican

There is probably no man en-
gagged in the newspaper business
in this state who is not acquaint-
ed with a man whose excuse for
disseminating his subscription is
that he already "has more papers
than he can read > 1t is only an
excuse offered to ameliorale the
presumed lacerated condition of the
editors feelings. 1t has no such
effect, for in the first place an edi-
tor never worries over his loss of
subscriber except when he leaves
the country without paying up ar
rearages. But why not be truth
full and say to the newspaper man
Just what you feel in your heart.
Go into his den, ask him how
much you owe, paw the delin-
quency and tell him frankly that
you don't want his disreputable,
BLACKBOARD sheet any longer Say
to him in a sorrowful tone of voice
that you deeply regret his inability
to publish a newspaper worthy the
name and advise him to sell his
plant to some man with a thimble
full of brains and seek some occu-
patton which does not require
much wear and tear of mind. Do
this and then you can go away
with the comforting assurance that
the editor respects you for y our can
dor and will cherish no hardfeelings
because you choose to borrow his
