Roosevelt Again a National Issue.

Roosevelt Again a National Issue.
If the veil of doubt was thrown
about Colonel Roosevelt's political fu-
ture since his return from the jungle,
what happened at Saratoga yesterday
has lifted and removed 1t. Colonel
Roosevelt is national issue again.
Henceforth he is to be reckoned with
as much in the national councils of
his party as if he were still the head
of the nation. Measuring swords with
a wing of the national administration,
headed by no less distinguished a man
than the vice president of the United
States for the control of New York
state politics, he has won handily.
To attain this advantage, the former
president has descended from his lofty
plane to personal participation in the
game of politics. He permitted his
name to be used as an aspirant for
the temporary craftsmanship of a state
convention, submitted to arraignment
and abuse from the floor Of that con-
vention, which he attended, in order to
accomplish his ambition. He was on
the ground and on the Job. He fought
as desperately as if he was just start
ing out for the goal, which is general
ly regarded among ambitious men as
the highest earthly attainment, and
fro mwhich retirement in honor is &C
fcepted as a fit and sufficient rounding
out of a somewhat successful political
career.
But not for Teddy. He is on the
road again. He seems to be headed
whittier he went before. He is in the
limelight of political events two years
after he laid. down the sceptre and
went away, far away, even beyond the
haunts of civilization to forget
Verify, Teddy has come back and
he is going to remain. He is an is
sue, a national issue once more.

Justice Brown and plead guilty,
being fined $5e and costs and was

the inc and costs were paid. We
believe it would be a good thing for
the whole County if the County Of

the enforcement of the law regard
ing peddling, as very few of the
peddlers who come here ever have a
County license. AS far as the Village

Religious Activity at the
University

AT this time when a great many
universities and colleges of the country
are being attacked as strongholds Of
free thinking and as vantage grounds
for assailing churches and the work
of orthodox Christians, when against
a great many such institutions the
charge of laxity in moral life is made
by the leaders of religious thought, it
is matter of congratulation to the
people of the state that such criticism
cannot be made against the University
of Idaho. The high moral atmos.
phere of the University is a common
matter of comment on the part OF
visitors to the institution.
The reason for the healthy tone of
student life mere is no doubt due to
the active participation of an unusu.
ally high percentage of the students
in some form of religious activity.
The religious census, which was taken
at the beginning Of the year, revealed
the fact that over fifty per cent of the
students are members of some church.
Not all of these are regular attend
ants, but many more attend who are
not members. A large number of
these students not only are active
members but are leaders in many Of
the religious organizations in the town
and college. AS enthusiastic promo
tiers of Christian Endeavor, Epworth
League, Baptist Young Peoples Union
Sunday School classes, members OF
church choirs, they aid much in fur.
thering Christian work in Moscow.
