Senator w. E. Borah is being men,
toned as a candidate for the vice.
presidency in 1912 in connection with
the recommendation of Mr.. Taft. Mr..
Borah would undoubtedly fill the
place most acceptably and add
strength to the ticket, but in the opin-
ion of most of his Republican
friends he is filling more important
position just at present and in man.
ner that is winning national applause.
1t is a difficult matter to spread a
good man out to cover all the impor-
tant positions which need him, there
fore it might be the part of wisdom
TO let Mr.. Borah along right where
he is at present.-Grangeylie Globe.

NO CHECKS FOR LESS THAN 81
1t has lately transpired that during
the session of congress which ended
last March A, law was enacted
which makes it penal offense to
issue or circulate any note, check,
memorandum, token or other obliga-
ton for sum less than one dollar
The penalty prescribed for the per-
petration of this enormity is a fine
which must not exceed $500 or i'm
prisonment for a period not more
prolonged than six months.
This is about the most fragrant
example of oppressive and preposter-
Gus legislation that has yet been
brought to the public notice and it
could only have reached place on
the statute book through inadver-
tence Had it attracted any atten-
ton during it's progress through con-
gress it must have been promptly
killed by the ridicule it would have
provoked, while it must be assumed
that the President signed it in a
moment of distraction without clearly
experimenting it's import.
To create artificial crimes and
misdemeanors is an undesirable pro
ceeding at all times which nothing
short of some urgent public need can
Justify or excuse But what public
need requires that the making of a
check for less sum than one dollar
be prohibited? That is matter of
merely private concern of which no
legislature has any call to take no
tice. 1t is not customary to write a
check for less than a dollar and most
people would not think of doing so,
but if the banks do not object, why
anyone else should mind does not
at first appear.
Perhaps the most Illuminating COM
mentary on the true inwardness of
this legislation is contained in the
statement that the mail-order houses
throughout the country appear to be
much concerned over it. If the law
under which any one of us might be
sent to prison for six months for
writing a ninety-cent check makes
any IldICIldl ulALSICIlCG " bIlCIlI ~ 10
a pretty safe guess that the precise
purpose of the law was to produce
this difference and that it was pro-
NOTED by the same influences which
are steadily resisting the institution
of practical parcels post service lest
the mail-order houses be benefited,
"a L l.. -
put the mail-order houses out of bust
ness, although no degree of outlawry
has yet been pronounced against
them, but this consideration scarcely
affords sufficient reason for the exis-
tence of such fool law as that in
question and when congress reassem-
bles it ought to be repealed instan-

Nampa Man Evolves Bright Advertis.

ing Sheme.
A Nampa man put a big adyf. in a
local paper calling for 200 cats. He
got them and the result is thus de-
scribed in the Record
1.-THE most laughable incident that /
ever witnessed occurred Saturday af-
ternoon in front of the New York
store, when about 200 cats we're turn
ed into the streets in all their glory.
They were all colors and all sizes.
There were all the different DISPOSE
lions and temperaments that one
could think of cats having. To each
cats tail was tied an announcement
of the New York stores odds and
Ends Sale. @---.----------.---z--------.---
For a moment they all seeemd
dazed. Then like a flash, as II a
whlrlwind had struck them they were
gone. Some went up telephone poles,
some made for the Dewey Palace We
randa across the street, and many to
the back alleys. They all seemed
proud of their decorations and anx-
ious to carry the news to their own
ers
Il wonder why the merchant had to
figure so close as to have to employ
cats to deliver the mall"
