HAWAII IS SORE.

The Postoffice department has
ruled that Hawaii cannot benefit by
the recently inaugurated 2-cent let
ter rate on postage between the
United States and Great Britain. In
passing on the subject the second as
sistant postmaster general has writ
ten to the local postmaster that the
agreement docs not embrace Hawaii,
Porto Rico and other possessions of
the United States
AS result of this ruling the indig-
nation of Hawaii in general knows
no bounds, and some warm cable
grams have gone to the territorys
representatives in Washington, and to
Governor w. F. Frear, who is there
also at present. Not that Hawaiians
care about the paltry pennies in
volyed, but to be classed by depart
ment official as a possession" and
thereby Disseminated against!
Welghty and Wrathy editorials have
burdened the pages of the local pa
pers. Hawaii is not a part of the
United States as spoil of conquest,
or through servile petition of the
islands to be taken in, but by agree
ment, and under a binding contract,
which took expression in the form of
an Organic act" by congress, Of
comprehensive scope? 1t is held there
that even an act of congress annul-
ing the organic act of Hawaii would
not be sustained by the courts owing
to the conditions under which she en-
tered the Union.

COMIC SUPPLEMENTS.

1t as been variously stated that q
movement Is under way against the
continuance Of the comic supplements
with the Sunday newspapers, and
some very earnest women are fore
most in decrying the multicolored and
inartistic daubs which we are pleased
to call "Art Supplements. The rea-
son why these Christian ladies object
to the supplements is that the nature
of their contents and the Stiffness of
some of the pictures "tend to de-
moralize our youth and fill the
childish mind with wrong impress
sions."
Newspaperdom believes the objec-
iton well sustained, in many instances
but the publishers Of the great
Sunday. newspapers will never aban-
don the comic supplements while they
prove to be such great influences in
the home that they undoubtedly are
today. We are reminded Of the child
who asked his nurse on Thursday II
1t was Sunday. He asked again on
Friday and Saturday, and his nurse
began to think him q cherub fitted
only for heaven. But when he asked

present conditions there are too many
and they are too widely scattered to
give them the careful supervision
they need.
In time gone by, efforts have been
made to secure division less favor
able to the south end, when condi-
lions did not SO much demand divi-
sion, and the south has opposed 1t.
but under present conditions there
are many substantial reasons why all
should seek to agree on any equit-
able division.
As to cutting off some territory on
the southwest corner to help form a
new county out Of territory that IL
isolated from all present county seats,
it Is only fair to them, and no loss can
come to us. They are long way
from the county seat now, and to
those who look only at the financial
side or It, we have only to mention
the subject Of mileage and innumer-
able bridges and new roads needed
before they will pay taxes on their
farms, to satisfy any uneasiness as to
the financial part Of 1t.

CANADIAN POLITICS.

In Canada after every general cleo
ton large number OF protests are
filed against the successful candi-
dates. An election was recently held
and In the province Of Quebec no less
than IS protests have been entered,
and in the other provinces, similar
action has also been taken in many
Instances. When the protests are all
filed the game Of Saving off be-
gins. This consists in the agents Of
one party proposing to the other
party to drop any given number Of
suits provided the other party does
the same. 1t is a vicious practice
condemned by right thinking people
because in many cases the protests
are frivolous and only made for the
trading off purpose, while In others
the ends Of justice are defeated and
corruption condoned.

FIGHTING AT A PARTY.

Thesold adage is still true, Greater
|is he who rules himself than he who
ltaketh city"
In our quiet country districts the
motion still prevails among some Of
the people, that when the community
Ills assembled for a social time and for
recreation, It is proper to resent an
faffront and have a fistic settlement.
| 1t often happens that some thought
less or ungarded remark will bring
forth sharp retort, and then some
body considers his honor at stake IL
he does not challenge the other felA
low to fight. Loud words are fol-
lowed by blows land profanity, and
sometimes others take sides until
many are embroiled in a perfectly
useless and senseless fight. Women
and children are excited and terror
lied and for some Of them the happy
event planned for the evening be-
comes very disagreeable memory,
and after all, nothing is gained for
lanybody. II
II anybody insults you at a party,
consider the source and pass it up as
lyou would a kick from a mule. Make
lit a rule never to let anything mar
the pleasure and proper decorum of
the party, but If you want to call the
offender to account for his offense,
do 1t the next day, after the whole
social affair is over, and when disin-
Iterested persons will not witness the
settlement or the cuffs that come Of
lit.
Make UP your mind that nothing
shall ruffle your temper while at the
party.

DOWNING GRAFTERS.

That notorious CRATER and briber
in San Francisco has been found
guilty is cause for satisfaction and
goes long way towards purifying the
political atmosphere of that CITY, San
Francisco, like many other large
cities, has for years been in the grasp
of political bosses and ward polti-
clans. The only way to stop such
evils is by constantly using every
legitimate means to bring the guilty
ones to justice. 1t is generally uphill
work and often a thankless one, but
1t must be done if communities are
to be honestly and efficiently gov
erned and their reproach wiped out.

HAZARDOUS OCCUPATIONS.

That human life is cheaply held in
this land is abundantly seen, but the
most startling evidence is found in
the statistics Of railroad and mining
accidents. Making full allowance
that railroading and mining are nat
urally hazardous occupations, and al
lowing also for the carelessness Of
many workers, the fact remains that
adequate precautions are not taken
to safeguard human life. In both oc-
equations the number Of people killed
and wounded each year far exceeds,
both actually and relatively the
casualtiese OF any European country.
the excess being from two and half
to three times as many. The one and
only thing to remedy such condition
Is to put the sacredness Of human life
above the dividends on stocks.

A WORD ABOUT SALARIES.

Woman's National Daily.
The people are the most stingy
employers in the world. We hear a
great deal from time to time about
the grinding. grasping, crushing fl
nancial policies Of some of our great
corporations and some Of our promi-
nent men. We hear these men and
these corporations loudly denounced
and we listen with attentive ears to
the critical stories that their en-
ployes tell about the wage scale or
the salaries that are paid to others
than 'favorites" The telegraph
companies, the railroads, the fore
most industrial concerns Of the land,
our oil magnates and others have
been repeatedly and most bitterly as
sailed for their failure to treat men
who are working for them with the
liberality that 1t is believed they can
afford. Almost everybody has a
quarrel Of some sort with his salary.
The men who will acknowledge that
they are receiving what they are
really worth are SO exceptional as to
be almost minus quantity. The
people as whole are complaining.
All are interested, either because
they are receiving or because they
are paying salaries, or wages. But
the recipients Of the money-the
people-are apparently the

WAR BALLOONS.

Only short time ago military ex-
perts were telling Of the havoc that
would be made by airships in time OF
war. At their own will they could
drop combustibles and bombs upon
armies and forts and wipe them off
the face of the earth. Now German
military experts say that such doings
would be practically impossible, and
that an airship or dirigible balloon
would have as much as 1t could do to
look after itself in seeking to escape
the shots from modern rifles and
b geildf
field guns. This ought to quiet the
nerves of those British alarmists who
have been dismally prophesying a
German invasion Of their country by
the air route.

A CORRECTION.

Last week we stated that the Miss
Raney whom the papers are saying SC
much about as an actress of pure
Indian blood, is a white woman, but
on further investigation of the sub
ject, we find that Miss Raney, the
actress is not the same Miss Raney
we referred to, and we hasten to cor
rect the error.
Miss Emma Raney is the actress,
and it was Mary Ann or Marie, a
member of another family that we
spoke of last week.

Pride in the Personality

Most men have individual ambitions-pet hobbies
that are persstenty pursued but the majority Of wise
business men have one common hobby, and that is to
be at all times appropriately and stylishy dressed.
Fine feathers may not always make fine BIRDS but the
modern business man knows what value is put upon
ones personal appearance. He knows that, in large
sense nowadays the clothes do make the man. Ger
tain it is that attention paid to dress by Amer
lean business than by those of any other nation
but where will you find better or shrewder men of
businessa Ones inherent gifts Of argument, of ora
tory Of persuasion may be great but they must be
made known, and the outside personality is the adj
vance agent for the inner mans success.
And to keep up this outward appearance it is not
necessary to follow the advice of Shakespeare Cost

THE IDAHO ACADEMY APPRO.
PRIATION.

The Idaho Register recently copied
what we said about the waste Of
money and the injury to other
schools. resulting from maintaining
the Idaho Academy with the present
curriculum, and says:
The above is Just what the
Register has bcen contending
for several years. The fact is
from the last report we have
seen issued by the academy the
state is simply paying the
greater portion Of the expense Of
the Pocatello high school. From
that report there were nearly
two.thirds Of the academy pu-
pills from Pocatello, and as the
Pocatello high school teaches
every branch but one or two ex-
ceptions that are taught In the
academy, it makes the academy
Of little use."
The Idaho Statesman throws a
bouquet % at some Of the past
legislatures In the following, after
copying from The Republican and the
Register:
Here is testimony from neigh
bors and fellow partisans as to
the waste of public money in
maintaining useless or superflu-
GUS institutions merely as poll
tical asset. This academy (sic)
was instituted as means Of saw
ing the Albion State Normal
school from removal to Pocatello
and the Albion normal was insti-
tuted as means OF carrying
through the 100000 road bond
issue Of 1898. They have both
together cost the state million
dollars without returning any
adequate or reasonable value
whatever. Like charity, the
magic name of education" Is
used to cover multitude of sins,
and it has got SO that none dare
advocate intelligence and discre-
ton in such matters without be-
ing hooted at as reactionary or
something worse, and incidental
ly having the maintenance of
legitimate and necessary institu-
tions threatened by the COM
bined forces of more appropria-
tions, more offices, more jobs,
more graft. The states of Wash
ington and Oregon were both
bled numerically and shamelessly
under cover of these institutions
until the one elected Governor
Rogers and the other Governor
Chamberlain largely as a protest
against excessive and useless ex-s
penditures on these wildcat ven
lures. 1t is, Of course, too
much to expect the Idaho legisla-
ture to treat this subject with
the courage and decision that
s..e necessities of the situation
I, seem to demand, but that is no
reason why the press should
not do it's own duty in the prem
ises by making fully known,
from time to time, the means by
which the patient taxpayer is be-
I ing victimized and his money be-
ing squandered on unworthy
places and pets"
