COULDN'T BLUFF ponAH.

Senator William L. Borah, OF Idaho,
is man Of great personal courage, as

in the Steunenberg murder case in

recently he had the courage to In

This Is an extract from an Assocl-
ated Press dispatch sent out from the
National Capital Sunday night, from
which one would Infer that the distln-
guished statesman had devoted the
day to conversation about the political
affairs Of the country instead OF to
careful thought OF matters pertaining
to the higher life. It Is said that the
scenes around the hotel where he
was etoppinG looked as II political
convention were in progress. with this
difference, apparently. that "en the
conferences were open" "liis visitors
were from ell sections of the country,
including Senators. Representatives.
and private citizens" and there was
general agreement among those pres
ent that he was Just about the right
size for the Presidency.
The Governor was enthusiastic a bout
the way In which the Democrats in
the House have carried themselves,
and particularly nj to the action of
the Democratic caucus on the free
wool question upon which Mr.. Under
wood and Leader Bryan have locked
horns. It is true that the Governor
is In favor OF free wool materials,
including free raw wool, but every
Democratic platform has declared for
gradual tariff reduction" Just the
same. however. he is for Underwood
and Clark and the other so-cnlled
'Aidrioh Democrats" who have feared
to put II to the touch to win or loso
II all. Playing both ends against the
middle. he may be able to get by.
with It, and he has done 1t SO cleverly
that the Nehraekan may even yet be
willing TO back him for the nomina-
ton. We trust that he will do moth.
