Like ~Banquo's Ghost,

The republicans Of Illinois were
thrown in panic when the an.
nouucement was made that Senaror
Lorlmer had secured Congressman
Lowden's S proxy as national COM
mitteeman for Illinois, to attend
the meeting of the committee in
Washington in December, which
will issue the call for the national
convention. Lorimer says he want
ed the proxy SO as to unite the
conflicting elements of the party
into harmonious whole and help
guide it in the next campaign, and
so forth and so on. The Illinois
leaders, however, held a conference
and decided that Lorimer' S activity
would be black eye to the party,
the upshot being that the commit
teemdn Withdrew his proxy and
will attend in person. The party
leaders probably are congratulate
ing each other that they escaped
having one "put over on them.
If Lorimer IS not fit to represent
the party at committee meeting

UNITY.

Every community is what the
people who live in them make OF
them. A community is merely the
composite of the individuals OF the
community. The city that makes
the greatest progress is the one
where the people are in closest
unity in their efforts for advance
mcnt.
The agency through which the
people must work out their destiny
is strong commercial body in the
community.
Everyone must be willing to
work together. The interest of all
is the first requisite to the success
of any community.
Development and progress OF
communities cannot be left to
chance. Let all remember that
the ideas of the individual receive
but little attention, but the com
bined sentiment of many individu-
ais is irresistible.

Hiram Johnson Explains.

Hiram johnson, the progressive
republican governor of California,
explains that the reason he did not
attend the Taft banquet in San
Francisco was that he feared the
president would attack the recall of
the judiciary which the voters OF
the state had just adopted by such
an overwhelming ma jority, and If
such an attack were made he could
not sit silently by but would be
bound to arise and champion the
will of the people, which would ere
ate "a scene. But Taft was as
silent as clam on the subject and
there was no chance for "a scene
if the governor had been there.
However, since returning east, the
president has again been denounc-
ing the recall Of the Judiciary. At
Chicago last Saturday, before the
bar association, he defended his ac-
tion in vetoing the Arizona state
hood bill and said he wrote the
veto out of his heart and was proud
and glad of it. His view may be
summarized in the following SEN
tence in his address What de-
fects there are are due not to the
weakness of the judges, but to the
weakness of the people, - If he
had said that in California, there
would have been some fireworks.
Taft may not be a politician, but
he knows where to deliver his
"keynotes."

Two Kinds of Millionaires

Bryan recently got off a fine
thing of large significance, in an
address upon millionaires, when he
said:
"A great many people in history
have earned FIVE hundred millions,
but they have been so busy earn
ing it, that they have had no time
to collect it and those who have
collected it, have been so busy that
they have had no time to earn it. :"
He named but two who have
earned FIVE hundred millions, and
did not collect it, so busy were
they, though he could have named
others-Lincoln and Jefferson.
He did not cite the men who
have collected many millions and
not earned it. There are a number
such, we'll known of men, and it
was scarcely necessary. Every
body knows, who knows anything
about business, big or little, that
when Carnegie found his holdings
were needed to form the big steel
combine and raised his price from
one hundred and sixty millions to
three hundred and twenty millions,
he did not earn "the raise And
there are many others.
Yes the country is full of men
who have collected millions and
were too busy to earn it.

IDAHO MAY MAKE
OREGON COME THROUGH

The management of the University
of Idaho football team may demand the
payment of $3.50 guarantee posted on
the Idaho-Oregon game which was to
have been played at Eugene, Ore, but
was called off on account of the death
of one of the players with the Oregon
team, say Portland dispatches. Man
ager Larson of the Idaho eleven pro-
tested against the playing of the Null
tnomah-Oregon game on Thanksgiv-
ing, declaring he had agreed ton can
eel the Idaho-Oregon game only on the
understanding that the Oregon team
had closed it's season and he will there
fore demand payment of the guarantee
posted.

declares the claim of Idaho will in his
opinion be in vain He said that while
it was the original intention of the
Oregon management to close the sea-

son at the time that the Idaho game
was cancelled, it is held that Idaho
agreed to forego the game and sent ex-
pressions of coincidence to the Oregon
university without inquiring definitely
as to whether Oregon was to play
any more game or not.
1t is also claimed that in case such
agreement had been made it is hardly
probable that Idaho could make their
protest hold before the coferece nau-
thorities. Unless the protesting team
appears on the field at the appointed
time, it is not entitled to the guar
antee.
Whatever expense was occasioned by
the scheduled Idaho-Oregon game fell
upon the Oregon management in ad-
vertising, as notice of the holland dis
aster was sent to the Idaho men at
Moscow before the time they were to
leave for Eugene.

STOP i. BUILDING
FOR THE WINTER

Work on the construction of the new
wing to the administration building
of the University Of Idaho has beer
stopped for the winter months
This action was taken by the uni
versity authorities for the purpose OF
securing better wall, and a better
building, since the freezing of mortar
affects the walls and the building, and
also since, in any event the structure
would not be completed in time to be
of much service during the school
year. With the extension, of time,
which has been granted the contractor
the regents expect to have the build
ing ready for occupancy by the open
ing of the fall semester next year.
