 WON'T DO WORK

 and He Goes to Jail

Edward A. Willis. who two months ago vanished from his Spruce street home at the time a married woman of his neighborIood abandoned five children sold part of her household effects and decamped with about $250, was arrested on complaint of his family at his home last evening by Patrolman Anderson.

INSURCENT POINDEXTER RIDES INADVERTENTLY TO THE SENATE
 OVER TAFT AND STAND FATHERS

Credhie has been defeated by Warbur- ton, radical fnsurgent. Congressman Humphreys Q of the Seattle district, who championed the ship subsidy bill has been defeated by Thomas F. Re- Velle, insurgent. An insurgent -T2e- publican has also been nominated from the Spokane district to succeed Poin- dexter in the lower House.
 Potnde11ter's friends are jubilRnts and predict that the Washington result will go far toward swinging other Pacific coast and northwestern States into the insurgent column. Poindexter was 're- garded as the most radical of the in surgents in Congress and the stand patters concentrated their efforts to defeat him. Poipdexter called Into the fight Victor MurdocIz of Kansas and other insurgents
 In the first Congressional district William LaFollette, insurgent, a first cousin of Senator LaFollette, has de- feated William Humphrey; in the second district Congressman 9dcCrede, regular, has been defeated by War burton, inSurgent.
 The result in the third district. Poindexter's old district, is still in doubt, with both the insurgents and regulars claiming victory. There were five candidate for the RepuDii- can nomination, badly scattering the party vote.

Special from United Press,

Seattle. Wash. Sept. 14-Riding se- renely atop an insurgent landslide, Miles Poindexter swamped his stand pat opponents in the Statewide pri- mary held here yesterday for the se- lection of a United States Senator. Comprehensive returns from all sec tions of the State early today indi- cate that Poindexter's plurality over Thomas Burke and J. Ashton, his reg ular opponents. will exceed 25,O0O-a much larger plurality than was even claimed by his campaign managers
 The result is looked upon by Repub- icans both of the regular and 1nsur- gent factions as especially interesting because of the factor the national ad- ministration had made itself in the contest. The issue between Poindex- ter and President Taft was clearly drawn ten days ago when the latter requested former Senator John Will son to withdraw from the race in or der to concentrate the stand-pat strength against Poindexter. Wilson declared he retired at the direct re- quest of the President. The indica- tions today are that the insurgents have carried every other county in the State, also carried every Congressional district and the State Legislature. In the Tacoma district, Congressman Me

NOBODY ELSE DOES 1T

When a newspaper fails, the sub
scribers who have paid in advance
lose what they have paid ahead and
failures have been frequent occur
rences in Idaho the past few weeks
Whether the failures were due to the
new direct primary law does not mat
ter to the subscribers, but if 1000
people have paid year in advance
at the two dollar rate, and 500 have
paid two years in advance and some
more have paid three years in adj
vance, as many do when roped in by
somebody who is running" in cir
culation contest, it amounts to some
thousands of dollars that the good.
natured customers have to lose. II
puts a premium upon dishonesty in
publishers, and sometimes they con-
slider it better to fail" and start
another paper elsewhere. Thus a
man becomes a tramp editor, and he
loves to boast about the number of
papers he has started" and owned.
Most of the subscriptions of the
Republican are paid in advance, and
the Office carries $6,0OO.0O insurance
to protect against loss. One policy
of $1800.00 is carried in trust by the
First National Bank of Blackfoot to
protect the subscribers who are paid
in advance, the policy being made to

the one paid farthest in advance, and
