The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1909-07-10
IN TINE WITH BORAH.

The Tribune has heard about be-
ing in tune with the Infinite, and of
being in tune with a banjo, but we
have never seen but one practical
demonstration of never failing &C
cordance. The Boise Statesman is
attuned to a finish with SenatorWil-
liam e. Booth. In fact, it is never
otherwise, and how it manages 1t Is
a source of never ending wonder
ment to us. We would think that
once in a while the strings would
get twisted or out of alignment and
cause a discord. We would think
that once in a while the Statesman
would want to play Waltz Me
Around Again Willie" when the Sen
ator would prefer "A Hot Time" But
in the score of years that we have
watched the performance never once
was there a discord in mood or rem
dition. Even for variety we would
like a jar now and again. Harmony
is all right, and to keep in tune is
the chief aim of all of us, but an
everlasting concert gets on our
nerves We think Senator Borah
would appreciate nice, quiet, lit
tie discord himself. We would not
suggest anything radical or rabid, or
disagreement that would CRATE on
the firm sensibilities of the States
man. But harmless little alterca-
ton to break the monotony would be
refreshing and agreeable to both the
Senator and the people. We think
that we know that Senator Borah
does not insist upon agreement with
him in every single idea he has. It's
all right to be in attune with Sena-
tor Borah on most things. All intelh-
gent men are convinced that his ideas
are usually sound and safe to tie to
but there is no occasion for eternal
adulation and everlasting accord.
