THE republicans of Idaho, in con-
vention assembled, hereby renew
their allegiance to the great nation
al party, the party of protection OF
American labor and Industries, whose
record of achievements began with
the administration of Abraham Lin
coin and has continued up to the pre-
sent moment.
I'VE declare ourselves unalterably
in favor of the republican principal
of protection as applied to raw ma
terial as well as to manufactured
articles in the United States.
I'VE heartily indorse the honest,
wise and courageous administration
of Theodore Roosevelt, which, in the
benefits bestowed on the people, has
been surpassed by none and equal
led by few preceding administra-
tions.
1--WE commend the mastery ability
and tireless vigilance with which our
distinguished fellow citizens. Sena-
tors Weldon B. Hepburn and William
E. Borah and Congressman Burton
L. French, have represented the peo-
pie of Idaho in the congress of the
United States.
I'VE heartily commend the present
state administration for the success
full manner in which the states bust
ness has been transacted and which
has been such a large factor in the
development. progress and prosper
ity of Idaho.
I'VE rejoice that the party which
gave Lincoln and Roosevelt to the ma
ton is now calling as it's leader Will
liam H. Taft, statesman and a pa
triot admirably fitted by exalted
character and wide experience to be-
come the chief magistrate of the
American people, and we pledge
the Idaho delegation to the national
convention TO use all honorable
means to bring about his nominal
ton"

The Usual Thing.

No more we'll swear, no more we'll drink
No more our money squander;
No more we'll lie like all git-out--
or church we'll be much fonder.
No more well cuff the chldren's ears
No more wen lick their mother:
No more well kick our dog about
Or borrow from our brother.
Wen steal no more, though opportune--
Well tap no tills this season;
And highway robbery give up
For most sufficient reason.
Well want TO murder. but we won't
Wen want 10 play at arson:
Well want 10 steal the pews from church
And rob the good old parson.
Well thirst 10 kill cop or two
Well itch TO make abductions
Wen want 20 burn the poorhouse down
Aud make some big reductions.
But 'tis the Day when all resolve
The Day OF resolutions:
The Day when all awake to feel
The need OF evolutions.
SO put II down in black and white,
And say IL all together;
'We'll angels be the coming year,
No matter what the weather"

Turning the Leaf.

Another leaf we turn today
In times great book OF years,
And shut the blotted sheet away
Whereon the past appears;
And to the paper clean and white
Sit down with hope aglow,
Resolved that what we there may write
fairer page shall show.
o lax intent O bootless xeall
We make our plans In vain:
Full soon the passing days reveal
Unsightly blots again.
Yet TO our purpose stout we stand
No failure faith perceives,
Till memory with cruel hand
Turns up the shabby leaves;
And then we see with bitter grief,
AS on each scrawl we gaze,
Although we've changed the year and
leaf,
We haven't changed our ways.

CITY NEWS.

Persons believing in the supersti- tion of St Swithins day are having chance to talk for it has rained some every day since last Wednesday which was the saints anniversary. The old adage is that if 1t rains on that day there will be rain for the next forty days; clear that day. good weather for the next forty. There has not been an abundance of moist ure every day since Wednesday but enough to say that 1t has rained Many believed there was no rain yes terday but early risers claim there were showers in the morning.
 Although some of the factories in this city are not any buster than they have been for several months, never theless others are picking up. As evidence of this is the fact that there are not nearly SO many applications for work on the streets as a few weeks ago. because number of men have gone back to their work in the shops. A we'll known manufacturer informed a reporter of the Democrat last evening that the situation at present looks much brighter than a month ago, 'I don't know whether politics have anything to do with 1t or not, but don't care what the cause Is if business continues to increase" he declared.
 Mrs MsreelIa Reddig of 3ss Grand street will receive permit to raise her house. Mayor Thoms having strengthened out the dificuity with Building Inspector Chatfleld. Mrs Reddig's property will be affected by the new layout and grade of Grand street. necessary because of the im- provements near the railroad station. The city awarded her damages Of s. 500 from which she took an appeal but later she decided to accept that amount. But when she came to raise her house the building inspect or would not give her permit. May or Thoms stepped into the breach and it was stated to-day that Mr Chatfeld will grant the permit and Mrs Retdig will make the changes she had planned.

Spokane. Wash, July 21.-From a go as you please rough and tumble scrap in the alley back of the Pan tages theater Saturday night Bob Fitzsimmons, late heavyweight cham pion pugilist of the world. emerged with an ugly cut four inches long in his scalp. and E. Clarke Walker, man. ager of the theater, came out with the marks of half dozen of the Cor nishmans' blows.
 Fitzsimmonss wound was inflicted with an infants nursing bottle in the hands of the manager.
 Both were arrested and gave bonds to appear in court.
 The trouble arose over an uncom- plimentary article regarding Fitzsim- mons printed In an afternoon paper which Fitz alleges was prepared by Walker because of his having plan ned to give boxing exhibitions con trary to the terms of his vaudeville contract, which expired Saturday.
 Fitz is under the care of doctor. The police blotter reads: Robert Fitzsimmons, actor, age 46, place of birth, Cornwall"
