DIRECT PRIMARY.

The Boise Capital News INDUCES in
spasm OF virtue In which 1t pro-
ceeds to swallow the direct primary
law with all Its defects and call It
perfect. It wrongly accuses the
Press Of opposing the law, when we
simply criticised Its defects in pro-
viding for majority vote and secur-
ing 1t through a second choice to
make nomination, when a plurality
vote Will elect man to Office. Such
provision, any unprecedented person
will admit, IL not In conformity with
custom or good law. To make 1t un-
lawful for . candidate to make known
his candidacy through q paid an
nouncement in newspaper is, as we
have stated, puritanical--it is unjust.
These are two of the undesirable
features OF the law, and If they can
not be improved by amendment, the
whole law becomes undesirable
There are other Questionable features
which must be changed before the
direct primary becomes popular or
successful. Regardless OF the accu-
sations Of the Capital News against
the Press that It Is opposed to a direct
primary law, this paper Is a pioneer
In its advocacy, but the present law
is q long way from being perfect and
II 1t is the best that can be secured
It should be repealed.

With the completion OF the rail-
roads which are building or will
build into this city there Is no reason
why Occur d'Alene should not be-
come the rival OF Spokane in the
mercantile jobbing line. With the
added railway facilities this city
naturally becames a. distributing
center for northern Idaho and large
part OF western Montana and eastern
Washington, with a number OF adj
vantages over the larger competitor
in the way Of less expense in con-
Quoting a business. IN a short time
wholesale houses would be able to
control the business OF large and
prosperous territory. There is a
good opening here at the present
time for q Wholesale grocery and
provision house. Railway rates are
the same as to Spokane and distribut-
ing rates would be as low, II not low
or in large part OF the territory
which could be reached.

The Need of Fresh Air

TT GIVES one to think" as the
French say, that many childish
u ailments grow out Of a real need
of fresh air.
There Is a tremendous demand for
oxygen In the human system. We are
fires burning up every moment that
we live; our bodies are like slow fires
that never go out while life lasts.
Children burn up at a much quicker
rate than full-grown men and women.
and the rapidity is due to the building
process. Their fires need stocking, not
with coal, but with oxygen.
Now, we never get the same oxygen
in a room that we do outdoors, and our
fires. in consequence, burn low; dying
fires mean lessened vitality.
Have you ever known that were the
windows closed and the open flame

Does not the argument prove that

and with unfailing regularity, that life
at its best and brightest may result?

hunbly beg the immortal bard's pardon
for the necessary travesty. But isn't
the woman OF the unguessed age irri-

In this era OF equality and advanced
thought, the woman who childishly
withholds all facts relative to her age
Is decidedly foolish and disturbing to
the reasonable human being.
There was just cause for the suppress
sion OF the all-important point in the
dark ages. when the goal for woman
was marriage. and when youth and
beauty were regarded &c co-existent.
Even a quarter OF a century ago

sister. The former was in the bonnet

girls! Uncertain, self-conscious girlhood
IS charming in it's innocence. As the
years roll on there must be added to
the attraction OF youth that charm
that results from a broader, deeper and
longer view OF life. Why. then. should
a woman conceal her age? Is IT not
cause for rejoicing that a woman is
thirty, while she feels and looks as
young as her friends would have her?
Why should the mere fact that she was
born thirty years ago alter the attitude
