The Salmon Recorder (Dem.) saws:
''The temperance question will enter
largely into the election of officers
in Lemhi county this fall, and party
lines will be lost sight of before the
close of the campaign. 1t might be
said that for the offices of county at
torney, probate judge and sheriff pol
itics will cut but little figure. Those
who advocated and worked for local
option will be found largely back of
the candidates whom they think will
make life strenuous for the bootleg
ger, the tinhorn gambler and others
who may be inclined to disobey the
law for financial gain"
This question can no more be elm
mated from the campaign this fall,
either in state or county politics, than
can the candidates, and the sensible
newspaper and office-seeker will
readily recognize the fact. 1t isn't a
question of whether the candidates or
newspapers want it made an issue or
not, the people have simply taken
the bits in the their teeth" and de-
clared that they are going to make
it the paramount ISSUE" willy-nilly"
and all the newspaper-candidate COM
bines that could be formed from now
until November could not head it off.

l. issues in matters of more or
~ less Importance; always it is
the mission of paper, whether daily,
weekly or monthly to honestly in
struct in all that spells benefit to
mankind
Primarily this was what newspa-
pers were for, though they also were
valued as aids for spreading ''the
news"
When a man who controls a news
paper is fearless enough to take his
stand against measures, be they never
of so long standing, which have been
against public welfare, he is hailed
as fool, dreamer, seer without
following, man with crouch,
and various other epithets which send
some of us to the dictionary.
1t takes the simon-pure, for-rev-
enue-only politician a long time to
realize that some newspapers have
no space to sell, when the proffered
article is meant to mislead or de-
ceive the readers or the followers of
the paper.
Such paper is The Weekly Jeffer-
sonian, and it has "cost money to
live up tC the policy; advertisers
have, in some cases, fought shy of it's
columns as an advertising medium
because Mr.. Watson was so cratic,
and no one ever knows what he's 60
ing to tackle next"
Isn't that a splendid recommends
ton? And The Jeffersonian will never
find itself in the predicament which
the Nashville Banner found itself in
during the recent political campaign
in Tennessee. Politics in Tennessee
have been boiling, and the situation
in Georgia and New York was as a

Nashville Banner and the ''Tennee-

ton published the article, (for a con-
sideration) and dutifully tackled the
mystic letters 'tadv." at the tall
But-the majority of the news
paper readers Wot not of "space
rates. and mystic signs, so it is quite
probable there were hundreds of
readers of both papers who read with
interest (and belief) Mr.. Geist's in
teresting account of his gas scheme,
and the benefits it would bring (prin-
cipally to Mr.. Geist, of course.)
AS election day drew near, the
Banner walked with jolt to the pos
sibilities of it's having run Mr.. Geist's
Gas Scheme as pure reading natter
and The Banner had to set up three
column "box" on it's front page to
tell it's readers that it did NOT be-
lieve in Geist nor his scheme; and,
like the measles, the paper broke out
in spots with frenzied and irrational
reputation of Geist's Gas Scheme.
The Weekly JeffersOnian will never
find itself up against any such worry
as that which kept The Banner up
o'nights; money can't buy space in
this paper to foist any unprincipled
scheme on the readers of The
Weekly Jeffersonian.
And it's lots better to be called
fool, a dreamer and man whose
ears are deaf to the tinkle of a dollar,
than to try to undo or explain some
thing which the paper "stood for'
because there was money in it.

Mr.. Fin1ey, the man ahead of the
show, was In the city last evening
and is making all preparations for
the coming of the attraction to Bis

lines of 1.-THE Wolf" it is in no way
a copy of that play, but abounds with
many startling and original situations
and dialogues. The play is story
of French Canadian and Indian life.
The scenery and costumes for the
play have been carefully studied out
and are true to the day and place
which they represent. The character
of THE White Squaw," which is TAX

Will Go to Other Fairs.

Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor Gilbreath is busy at present
getting the exhibits that will be taken
to the state fair at Fargo, in shape.
Most Of the exhibit that was used at
Omaha at the corn show last year will
be shipped to Fargo and from there
to other fairs in other states this fall.
There will, of course, be fresh exhibits
along the line of grains and grasses,
but the ground work will be the same
as at the big show last fall. The ex-
hibit made big hit at Omaha and
will probably be one of the big at
fractions at the local fair.
Mr.. Gilbreath has prepared q rather
elaborate itinerary for the fall and
will visit all the fairs in the mid.
die west before the show is brought
back to the Capital City again. Mr..
Gilbreath does not anticipate any diff
ficulty in getting up good show for
the state In spite OF the fact that the
crops are not as good as usual and
says there have been many fine ex-
hibits offered him for the fall and he
is taking most of them that he can
find room for.

Victim Was 80 Years Old.

The lifeless body of Gottlieb Moe

1t IS claimed by those who are in
the know that the refusal of young
lady with whom Monech was keeping
company, to marry him, and her sub.
sequent marriage to another party,
was one of the reasons for the rash
act.
Miller, the man who found the body,
had occasion to go to the Monech
farm last Saturday morning looking
for the proprietor, as he wished as
slstance in some work about the place
and it has been the Gus tom of the two
men to exchange work. He looked
around the farm for Moenich, and not
finding him was about to leave for
his home when he noticed that the
stock was about the we'll and acting
as though they were thirsty. Miller
went to the we'll to draw some water
and was Mortified to see the lifeless
body of his friend dangling from the
end of rope with his feet just above

pointed to premediated suicide. Just

1t is u superstition Of these natives
that should they use the language of

their camphor.
The Malay natives firmly believe
that each species Of tree has Il spirit or
guardian angel that presides over it's
affairs, this spirit being known by the
name Of Blsan. This divlnity's resting
place is near the trees. Then, too, the
spirit Of the camphor tree is held to be
extremely jealous Of the precious gum,
so that it becomes necessary to propi-

should she learn that hunters were in

the natives speak in a tongue that the
