BRADY FOR GOVERNOR.

From information in our possession
it now looks like a slate had been made
that, if carried out, means State Chair
man Brady for Governor. And if so it
means that hundreds OF self respecting
republicans in this end OF the state will
not stomach the dose. There is such
thing as manipulating a convention
and getting nomination, but getting
the vote Of the people in these days is
not as easy task as it has been in for
mer times. A more unwise choice
than Mr.. Brady could not possibly be
made. Any respectable democrat
will defeat him. No thoughtful repub-
lican would find in him the semblance
OF anything calculated to enthuse.
Brady represents ring rule, party per-
idy, republican dishonor, broken
promises and disgraceful reputation
OF republican platform. To support
him one must need repudiate all of
Idaho republicanism to which any
republican can point without a blush
of shame. His nomination would be a
blunder SO colossal that it is hard to
believe that such stupid thing were
within the realm of possibility. 1t
would send the republican party of
Idaho up Salt Creek at the rate of an
Overland Limited express train.

What is the difference between a
democratic panic and a republican
financial hurry7" asks Troy News
reader. Seriously, there is considerable
difference. In the first place the ''re-
publican furry" has not yet begun
to reach the magnitude OF the calamity
that prevailed under Grover Cleveland.
Most Of the furry is the result of
a united policy on the part of the
banks throughout the nation to pre-
vent, what they feared, might result in
a withdrawal of depost and hiding of
money which would make a financial
panic certain. For the reckless spirit
OF stock-jobbing and wild speculation
made possible because of the wonder
full degree of prosperity everywhere
prevailing the republican party can
hardly be blamed. Whatever part the
policy OF Theodore Roosevelt, in pose
cutting the trusts, had in bringing
about a furry is a credit, rather
than a criticism of the republican
party. There is no doubt as to the
fact that Roosevelt has, by fighting the
successful dishonesty" Of the corpora
tons, contributed to the cause for pres
ent hard times, but there are few demo
Gratis who are not openly praising the
president for his stand. The truth is
the country long ago needed Roose-
welt furry" We ought to have four
more years OF il.

WE GIVE 1T UP.

The News is in receipt OF a letter
from farmer residing in the country
east of Troy in which the question is
asked: How is it that it is illegal for
the county commissioners to vote for
an appropriation for a much-needed
road in our section OF the county, and
at the same session OF the same board
it is legal to vote sufficient money out
Of the public treasury to build fine,
new bridge across the creek at the
south end of Main street in the city
limits OF Moscow"
The News must admit that the
question is too hard nut for US TO
crack. 1t is, perhaps, for the same
reason that it was legal for the
authorities to blow in $3.50 OF public
money for detectives to stop gambling
in Troy, when any constable in the
county, if County Attorney Stillinger
had given him a warrant, could have
made the arrests. Everybody knew
that gambling was going on. 1t was
open and above board. Commissioner
Hagen certainly knew that it was going
on in Moscow. Stillinger is densely
stupid if he did not know it. Slot
machines were everywhere in evidence,
and liquor was openly sold, TO the
knowledge Of everybody, without a
license in Moscow and Troy in the
houses Of i'll fame. But Troy was the
only town where an arrest was made.
When asked why Moscow and other
towns were overlooked one OF the de-
tectives told the Troy News editor that
the Instructions were to make no ar
rests EXCEPT in Troy and Princeton.
And none were made elsewhere.
The policy Of Commissioners Hagan
and Cook is apparently to do all in
their official power to injure Troy and
this section. Their action in regard
to the appropriation referred to by the
above mentioned farmer shows their
intention. The gambling incident is
certainly good corroborative evidence.

There are too many republicans who
prefer good democrat to poor repub-
lican, and the quality Of the men nom
mated will have lot of weight. In
the state the republicans have their
hand full. They have first to explain
why several planks Of their last plat
form were not carried out, and publicly
apologize for their unfaithfulness to the
people. In the second place there will
need be some assurance that if again
elected public interest will not again
be ignored. This, with other things
that will come up, makes the future
anything but assuring. 1t will require
an exceptionally good, clean state
ticket, and good county tickets to pull
through.

OLD AGE IN BATTLE.

It is hard when an old man finds himself in war for his official or politi- cal existence. It is sometimes hard on the young man In all the full power of vigorous manhood to engage In life and death political struggle. but usu- ally the young man is equal to the emergency and can stand his hand against his enemies. Even If he goes down in defeat he has years before him In which to retrieve his position.
 With those approaching. or who have passed the allotted span of human life the case is different. They have lost the virility and the fighting spirit and endurance of youth. and if they fall they have little chance to rise again. There's Foraker who furnishes a good example of what may come to a man when age comes to him and he finds himself discredited if not really dis graced. It is true that he is little more than three score years of age. but the chances are now that his present term of Senator will close his official career in Ohio. He is young enough to stand a chance to recover from a defeat which involved no discredit 10 himself as a man or statesman. but the disgrace into which he has fallen will put an end to his political ser vices in his own State or elsewhere.
 And there's Speaker Cannon who now finds himself engaged in battle that may end in his downfall, now and forever. Not that he has been guilty of real personal meanness of any kind or that there are charges affecting his character as man, for we are not aware of anything of that nature. The trouble in his case now is that he has three strong influences arrayed against him, aside from the many members of Congress in both branches who resent

If there are people who think that the fatal accident to Wright's machine will put an end to aviation those peo- pie are widely mistaken. As we'll might one expect that a railroad wreck or shipwreck would put an end to boat ing and railroading. or that an auto mobile accident would put such ve- hicles out of use. There exists what we suppose we may call aeromania. and the American people. beyond all oth- CTS, are ventursome and fearless. They are determined to conquer the atnos- phere and they'll do it or know the reason why. One or a score of fail- ures will not discourage the enthusi- astic experimenters. and if such a thing as a safe airship Is possible it will be made. It may be. too, that each failure. miscalculation or inefh- ciency will merely prove another step in the way of proper construction and | operation. They'll keep on trying. at all events.

ed his -autocratic rulings as Speaker. He caused much irritation and hard feeling even in his own party. who oo- jected to his rulings and who would not grieve over his defeat. They fear that if he is reelected to Congress this year he may again become Speak CT and they are tired of his dictator ship.
 But there are other influences against him that will be harder to overcome. because they are at work in his own State. There are the labor organizations which are disgruntled because of something he has or has not done in their interest. The temperance people of Illinois are making war on him because he does not come up to their standard of what a public man should be in the way of temperance. To crown it all, the Central Methodist Episcopal Church of Illinois Is against him as body. virtually declaring that his conduct as Speaker with regard to the Littlefield bill lis worthy of uni- versal condemnation and they further suggest that such politicians as he should be returned to private life.
 All this Is pretty tough on Uncle Joe at his time of life. He may again be elected to Congress. and may again be- come Speaker of the House. but the chances now seem to be against either triumph. and if he goes down 1t will be the end of him as a factor in national politics. He has passed his threescore and ten years. and cannot be expected to make such fight as younger man would do. If he loses we can see It, tie chance for him in the future, off, cially or politically. and he will become one of the "has-beens" of whom there are so many noted examples in the country. It Is hard on the elders. and whether We like them or not we can feel some charity for their wrong -do- ing and some degree of sympathy for their downfall.

Governor Smith, of Georgia, made a speech recently in Atlanta in favor of Bryan and Kern. He carefully refrain ed from mentioning that there is to be an election for Governor in october and that the Democratic candidate nominated by the votes of 10000 who voted for him. is Joseph M. Brown. The national committee has asked Gov ernor Smith to make speeches in sev- eral States, and as this will take him out of Georgia for the time being he Is no doubt relieved at the thought of not having to mention the noted name of Brown. It is a queer sort of sup port that some of the supporters of the defeated primary candidates for Governor of Tennessee and Georgia are giving to their State tickets. To an outsider 1t looks very much as if they would be delighted to see the opposi- tion candidates win.

When Taft and Foraker stood up on the stage in presence of an enthusiastic audience. and fell on each others neck and vowed eternal amity and broth eriy love. 1t was heralded throughout the country as a remarkable exhibition of mutual forgiveness. and as calculat- ed to add strength to the Republican candidate and party.

The Famous Conrad Kohrs.


 Three days ago Conrad Kohrs was unknown to fame. His name was not in Who's Who" It had not been given in the list of best sellers He had not written for the magazines He was not one of Senator La Follette's 100 millionaires.
 Suddenly a man bearing Conrad Kohrs's name was discovered way out West. It does not appear to have been his own fault. If anybody's 1t must have been MT Bryan's or MT. Taft's They had been disputing as to who is the rightful heir to My Policies. If Conrad Kohrs is really a cow-man out in Montana he ought at this time of year to be shipping his beef steers to Chicago. Beef steers ought to be fat by September, and prices for prime stock have been good for several weeks.
 Andhow. somebody at Oyster Bay had heard somewhere of Conrad Kohrs. Just how does not appear, nor what he had done. But a letter was sent ad dressed to Conrad Kohrs, Helena, Mon tana. and signed Theodore Roosevelt. It decided in the course of three columns of newspaper matter that MT. Taft Is the rightful heir to My Policies. Of course. 1t leaked out officially and has not yet been denied.
 The letter might just as appropriate ly have been sent to any one of thou sand Rpublican politicians, to Frank Hitchcock or to the manager of the Republican campaign literary bureau in the Metropolitan Building. It was addressed to Conrad Kohrs. But If you read 1t through carefully from be- ginning to end you cannot tell who Conrad Kohrs Is. whether he is J married has children. what Is hia cattle brand. or anything about him For anything the letter shows he might be a sheepman. Unlike F. H. Harri- man or Bellamy Storer or Dollar Jim | Sherman or the many other cores pondents of Theodore Roosevelt. Con | rad Kohrs remains a famous man oi mystery.
