FABRE, FRIEND OF INSECTS.

Henri Fabre has spent all his
life watching the ways of insects.
He knows what the katydid says
when ii sings in the twilight and
why il repeats itself so insistently.
He knows the constitution and laws
Of the ant republics and the mon
arches of the bees. He knows how
the spider acquires the engineering
skill that enables him to build his
filmy web. The butterflies have told
him the secrets Of their loves, the
mosquitoes the pangs of their thirst
for gore. All the tiny creatures that
fly and crawl are his beloved
friends"
This remarkable man is now 80
years of age. unknown to fortune
and not much TO fame, out friend
of the little creatures that creep and
crawl and fly.
And it may be he has learned les
sons not taught in the schools and
all unknown to the scholarly Of
earth But before Fabre, Soloman
advised the sluggard to learn of
the ant.

BRYAN an HUGHES.

Gov. Hughes exemplifies the in
Sividual virtues. aud naturally de-
nands honesty in the public service,
but he is a shining illustration of
tbat peculiar type of citizen, develop
ed IN this country during the present
generation. the citizen. who, per-
sonally pious. opposes vice and is a
Punisher of small crimes, but shows
ne indignation at the larger form
Of legalized robbery"
Some people regard the Aldrich-
Payne tariff bill as a species of lar
eeny, and Governor Hughes defends
il as so many other of the peculiar
type of citizens do"

THE SERVANT PROBLEM IS OLD.

Some of the maxims taught the
Egyptian schoolboys are as follows:
In sooth, thoV shalt find it hard
to satisfy thy servants. For, despite
thy earnest desires, if thou be
harsh with them, they shall say.
He is a cruel master; 10, we shall
CO."
Even though thou give princely
gifts of gold and of precious stones
to thy higher servants, content is
not in them, for they shall say, 10,
the master is suddenly growing gra-
cious, we shall 60"
And / say unto you, yield TO
thy higher servants as becomes one
favored Of God, for peace is not in
that town where dwells one wretch
ed servant"
Regarding home life and fashions.
the Egyptian sage was quoted as
follows:
If wise. provide for thy house
and wife as best thou mayest Get
her what she desires to eat, and
buy for her such apparel as she de
sires to wear, for in that way alone
may We find happiness"
The philosophy of this ancient
sage proves there is nothing new
under the sun, and any problem that
has lasted as long as the servant
problem is utterly past reformation.
Hence, it is useless to make any
suggestions, recommendations, or
PROFOUND theories on the solution
of a question which has concerned
all femininity since the time of Eve.
We are content to leave this matter
strictly in the hands of the sisters.
Venerable problem and as vexing
as venerable. Like the poor
always with us.

The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1910-11-04
OUR PLATFORM

From time to time we hear or read
suggestions that Republican candi-
dates for the legislature will not be
bound by the state platform on this
or that subject. In some cases it is
the question of submitting a prohibi-
ton amendment; in others it is the
question of supporting railway COM
mission bill; and In other instances
other matters are brought forth with
respect to which it is claimed Repub-
licans can repudiate their platform.
We desire to make the statement
here at this time, and we desire to
make it emphatically, that no man
who is a Republican can refuse to
stand and act upon the Republican
state platform. 1t is as much the
state platform of a candidate for the
legislature from Oneida County as 1t
is of one from Latah. 1t Is the plat
form of the Republican candidates
for the legislature from every county.
To. be sure, It, is possible some Re-
publican candidate elected to the
Legislature may be seduced into re-
pudiation OF some plank of his plat
form, but to that extent he will ne
cessarily be discredited. ''5".
Any man running on a Republican
ticket who feels that he cannot, II
elected, support every plank in that
platform, should resign at once from
the ticket. He has no right to run
for election il he expects after cleo
ton to refuse to vote for platform
measures.
We do not believe the Republicans
are going to be led into any such
position We have thought it proper
at this time, however. to make these
remarks in connection with this sub
ject. We want it understood that
men who would be so disloyal to
their party and to the interest of the
entire state would be repudiated by
the people of their own communities
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1910-11-04
THE REAL QUESTION

There Is Just one question In this
campaign that stands out boldly
above all others. That is whether or
not at the next session of the legis-
lature a constitutional amendment
shall be submitted to the people, pro-
hibiting the sale OF liquor in all por-
lions of the state or Idaho. The DEM
ocrats are opposed to it, yet at the
same time they are telling the people
of this state that they are in favor
of the initiative and referendum.
They are attempting to divide the
people on these two questions in or
der that the proposal to submit a
constitutional amendment shall be
defeated. They are doing this in the
interests of the liquor men, yet they
seem to expect sensible people to side
with them on the theory that they
are sincere
The only purpose of the democratic
party in inserting the initiative and
referendum plank in their platform
was to give them a stalking horse be-
hind which they might hope to gain
entrance to the state offices and Sc
cure control of the entire state gov
eminent. They cannot be sincere,
for If they were they would not OPP
pose the plan for submission of a
constitutional amendment That is
referendum; it is already provided
for by our constitution, yet the DEM
ocrats wish to deny the people the
right to such a referendum. They
wish, in the interests of the liquor
dealers and the brewers, to prevent
the people from securing a chance to
vote on an amendment Of that char
acter. qs
In the face of their declared atti-
tude, it is folly for them to talk about
being in favor of the initiative and
referendum or anything else of that
character. They are in favor of it
only because they hope they can
mislead the people into voting with
them and thus enable them to come
into power and crush the temperance
forces. at

A prominent Democrat of Gilmore

Brady for the manner in which he
has treated the settlers as chairman

GENERAL McDOUGALL A WINNER

Word comes here from nearly every
county In Idaho that General Nc
Dougall will win easily at the COM
ing election and predictions are made
that he will run hard on his ticket.
The attacks of Democratic papers
and authors are only having the. e.
feet of driving Mr.. McDougalls fol-
lowers closer to him and will in all
probability increase his majority. Mr..
McDougall is man of substantial
character and in his position as At
torney General has done signal SER
vice to the state. In all the compli-
Gated legal questions that have come
before him and before the state au-
thorities for settlement he has shown
a legal acumen and research in the
laws that has surprised even his
friends. He is one of the most dill
gent and pains-taking officers that
the state has ever had and his sue
cess in conducting the legal affairs Of
the state in the courts shows him to
be lawyer of wide attachments and
great ability. People are very slow
to throw such man as that over and
to put in his place an untried man
like Mr.. Moore. hi.
Mr.. McDougall is making splend-
i'd campaign and more of the people,.
will have an opportunity of hearing
him.
He is the right man in the right
place and will, no doubt, be elected
by a handsome majority.
