Against Direct Primary.

Senator Hepburn was quoted the
other day as saying he intended to
direct his energies to repeal OF the
direct primary law. He wants the
state to 20 back to the convention
system. The senator's opposition to
the direct primary has been pro.
nOunced from the first, although at
one time he seemed to have become
pacified as a matter of party regulari-
ty. Evidently he now intends to
wage a systematic campaign within
the party for the abrogation of the
direct primary. In this he already
has the sympathy Of practically every
professional politician 10 Idaho and
the open support Of several news
papers.

Lord erouaham,. or.torv,

We have no orator in the least like
Lord Brougham since the close of
Brougham's public career. Everything
that nature could do SO far as appear
ance, manner and voice were concern
ed she had done to prevent him from
being a great orator, and yet great
orator he undoubtedly was. I wonder
what the house of lords just now
would think Of a peer who gesticu-
lated and beloved as Brougham was
In the habit of doing. But 1t was Inn
possible to listen to Brougham and
not be carried away by the force Of
his intellect, by his torrent Of words.
by the sudden whirl and eddy Of his
rapid illustrations antl by the longer
and shorter stretches OF quietude and
repose into which his argument occa-
sionally nowed.-From Justin McCar-
thy's "Reminiscences"

Insignificant as compared to the fee,
that England constantly maintains
In what is substantially a British
lake.
The formation OF the National
Progressive Republican League in the
uRht between the insurgents and
standpatters to control the Republi-
can party IL exciting considerable
comment. The President is said to
be concerned over the matter and to
regard u as an attempt to contest
MS denomination IN 1912. He Is un.
decided whether to appear ind fferent
10 the League or to prepare to oppose
It's activities. The attitude of Theo.
dore Roosevelt toward the League is
also causing much speculation. From
nis utterances in the Outlook and on
the platform, he Is thought to be en-
tirely In accord with the principles of
the new organization, but whether
ne endorses its reported intention OF
urging the q nlmination OF Senator La.
Toilette for president IL decided
question. The principles of the
League are brief. 1t aims TO restore
government to the hands OF the peo
pie; to prevent corrupt use OF money
In elections; to provide for popular
election Of Senators; to secure direct
primaries; to simplify presidential
elections; and to establish the init.
alive referendum and recall. This
enunciation OF so.called Republican
principle sounds like u political plat
form written by William Jennings
Bryan, and demonstrates how much
political lines nave been shifted in
recent years.

FRArERNA1 HALL AND OPERA HOUSE, BUILT IN 1908.
INJUNCTION IS PERMANENT
Prevents Typographical Survey of
the County.

the County.
The Injunction granted In Decem
Der fOrbidding the Kootenai count,
commissioners to let contract
classifying and making Topographic
cal map OF the lands In Kootenal
county has been made permanent.
The old board of comm issioners
against whom the Injunction was is.
sued did not appear.
BY the findings of fact by the
court 1t is stated that for the various
work along the same line the board
had paid 6 $40 cents per acre; that
the area OF Kootenai County is |, $780,
900 acres; that to classify this land at
the price would cost 500, 900 and not
less than $50, 900, all to be paid out
OF the current expense fund; that the
county has $780, indebtedness in
outstanding warrants to be paid out
of the current expense fund; that
there is only $l1,726 in the current
expense fund, and that the assessed
valuation of the county is So, ,3l9, 9,508;
that the board levied for current ex-
pense 6 3-4 mills, which would collect
$50, l47; that there are other revenues.
$50, ,86S, with which to meet the
$90,357 OF outstanding warrants.
which cannot be met by the current
expense fund.
Among the findings were the fol-
lowing:
"That the income and revenue pro-
vided for Kootenai County for 1910
does not equal and will not equal the
Indebtedness or liability of the county
on account of Indebtedness incurred
prior to the 9th Of December, 1910,
and the ordinary and necessary ex-
pense OF the county, authorized by
the general laws of the State of Idaho
and the income and revenue provided
for the year Of 1910 Is less than the
outstanding Indebtedness.
'sThat there was no fund out of
which the expense for the said topo.
graphical survey could be paid.
1.-The court finds that to enter into
such a contract would be iu direct
violation of law"

History Is made by one set of men
and written by another.
The character Of the written history
depends upon the politics Of tue his
t0rian.
Most histories are written many
years after the history was made In
these circumstances no one can step
forward and dispute the historian.
History is studied at school and for
gotten at home.
We are told to judge the future by
the past, and after we read the his.
tories we are as badly .nuddled as
ever.

TOPICS In WASHINGTON
Congress Doing Little. The Canal
The Progressive League.

Washington, D. c., January 3d.
There are indications that the most
promising Congress for a score ol
years has lost its dynamic force six
weeks lefore its end; but little OF the
legislation begun In December Is
likely to be enacted. Some are pre-.
dieting that the appropriation bills
will not be passed by March the 4th.
1t is almost impossible for hetero-
geneous team Of over three hundred
patriots, statesmen, demagogues and
cranks to pull together as harmoni.
Gus whole. With half a dozen politi-
cal factions and ten times as mapy
individuals pulling in sixty-six differ
ent directions, there Is but little
probability Of urgently needed legis.
lation.
Secretary Wilson and Assistant
Secretary Hays OF the Agricultural
Department were evidently not 10
harmonious consultation before they
went into print. Mr.. HAYS says that
the drift of population to the cities
makes it impossible for low prices
ever to return, while Secretary VIII.
son reports an increased production
per acre, outstripping the increase in
population, and predicts decrease 10
the cost of food stuffs. 1t is difficult
to see how prices can come down
when farm lands and farm hands are
going up. There is, however. ground
for expectation that the denizens OF
American cities may. like the in-
habitants Of the villages of Europe,
turn farmer. 1t Is not unusual for
Swiss and Russian farm peasantry to
live considerable distances from the
land which they till. Moreover, they
walk to their places OF work. Posi-.
bly, the time is not far distant when
many thousands OF American farmers
will live In towns and cities and be
conveyed cheaply to and from their
fields by electric cars.
There is just now much agitation
OF the question of fortifying the
Panama canal. Philant hropists,
peace makers, or perhaps sentimental.
lists are opposed to any step looking
toward military protection. States
men and mllitarists, on the other
hand, are unable to see safety except
In fortresses and big guDs. Congress
has been memorialized by distin-
guished men and women who made
much OF the argument that the Suez
canal was without fortiflcation and
that inasmuch as England had left
this Canal open and undefended,
there was no reason why the Panama
canal should be fortified. This state.
ment, however, appears to have been
f, presented without complete geoeraph-
ical or political knowledge. A sum
equal to the cost OF the Panama
canal would not be sufficient to fortify
it as strongly as the Suez canal is
fortified. The fortidcation of this
canal begins on the west at Gibralter,
is continued at Malta, at Cairo and
Alexandria, and on the east at Alden.
In other words, England has full and
tight control OF the Mediterranean at
Gibraltar aud OF the Red Sea at Alden,
No enemy can approach within hun
dreds of miles of Suez without &C.
counting to Great Britain. It Is true
that there are French aod Spanish
and Turkish and Austrian ports on
the Mediterranean or connecting
waters, but their naval forces arr
