commission law, was largely con-
fined to those known to be OPP
posed to the law. The farmers
organizations are known to have
declared for the enactment of
such law, the state over; the
republicans endorsed it in their
last platform, as did the democra
two years prior, and the rank
and file of that party believe it
is the right thing and would heart
lily welcome such a law. Even
the Boise commercial club went
on record for the measure in a
strong set of resolutions, as did
the Twin Falls club, and yet from
the Statesman S published utter
ances from those two places you
would never suspicion such a
thing. The principal objections
the law comes from Pocatello
and other towns in the south
and southeast. part of the state
which are dominated by the Ore
gon Short Line, and that dominat
ed vote is what materially as
sisted in changing the results OF
last election. If freed from pol
itics and left to the people of the
state to express their real de-
sires in the matter, there are nc
reasonable grounds for doubling
that railroad commission law
would carry by an overwhelming
majority. 1t is this political pet
tifogging that defeats the reaI
wishes of the majority in al
most every instance. While the
law passed the house by {
handsome majority, it is now he'll
up in the senate by an unfriend
ly committee, and with such col
ored articles as that of the States

friendly feeling, it may never SEE

And now the plea comes from
a large body of the settlers on
the Lost River dam project ask
ing that politics be cut out from
now on and everybody get down
to booming the state" And
in connection with this plea
comes the admission that the
complaint from that section re-
garding the graft in the con-
struction Of the Mckay dam and
the imminent danger in which tn
lives of hundreds of settlers were
said to be placed through the
negligence of the state land
board, was largely, if not entire
ly, buncomb, and was done for
political effect. This corrobor-
ated by the state engineer
and expert engineer Wiley, who
asserts that mo lives would be
endangered should the dam go out
under a full head of water at any
time, the most serious damage
being the overflow of some
of the bottom lands below
the dam. This was one of the
strong charges brought against
the Brady administration last
campaign, and was used most
effectively; still you do not hear
any of those who benefited by
the misrepresentation offering
any public apologies or explana
tions for the part they took il
deluding the voters.

WILL PROLoNG LIFE.

JAS the basket ball season at
Grangeville passed out in a flood
of glory and with interest still
whetted to very keen edge,
the base ball sun has arisen in
the eastern horizon, full orbed
and full of promise. This is prop
er and right. If there is any
thing that is worth doing, do it
promptly and when the sign is
right.
The past winter has been one
of the best basket ball seasons,
it is said, our little city has ever
enjoyed, and the numerous games
have furnished our young people,
both boys and girls, with inno-
cent amusement and needed mus
cular development and the par
ents and other citizens with a
place to go for relaxation and
the cultivation of a fellow-feeling
for, and sympathy with the
youthful sports of the on-coming
generation; all of which has a
decided tendency OF renew their
youth and prolong their days of
happiness and usefulness while
they tarry on the way. Such
sports are profitable both to the
old and young when engaged in
to a reasonable degree and pur-
sued in the true athletic spirit of
friendly rivalry and competition
and debarring therefrom all I'M
fairness, jealousy and bitterness.
There was a growing interest in
basket ball games from the
awakening to what was going on,
right up to the closing contest,
which confirms the claim that
the Grangeville people like clean,
well conducted sports and will
give them their financial support
at all times when so presented to
them.
But before the close of the
basket ball season the base bal
talk begun, and following immed
lately on the heels of the last
game of the former, things begun
to shape up in tangible, ration
al form for the latter to b.
launched on basis of perman
ency and financial solidity thar
has not been heretofore under
taken.

If there is local dissension in a

an election and vote upon the
proposition.
There is good, sound sense in
a law of that kind. There is no
justice in the present method.
Political influence, selfish combin
atoms and jobbery are more apt
to settle a county division ques-
ton than merits of the case or
whether the majority of the peo-
pie want it. The oaes affected
by the segregation of county
should decide. We presume that
it would be fair to say that fully
nine-tenths of the county divis-
ion schemes presented to the leg
islature are originated by towns
with county seat ambitions OF
other selfish desires. The agi-
tation two years ago and at the
present time in this (Canyon)
county are fair examples.-Em'

WHERE rs HE AT?

The fact that Gov. Haw1ey de-
cided that there was merit
enough in the Legislative bill
strengthening the local option
law, to justify his signing it,
seems to be the occasion of num-
erous heated and sulphurous re-
marks from some quarters in con-
nection Herewith. The Globe is
free to admit that it hardly ex-
pected the governor to take this
course, but instead of berating
him for such action, it feels more
like complimenting him for his
self-assertion of independence
and manhood in the face of the
known opposition to such action.
1t makes it look like Governor
Hawley had some honest convic-
tions of his own, and being gov
ernor of all the people of Idaho,
and seeing that the present law
needed strengthening and that
the bill under consideration woult
make the law effective, he allow
ed Hawley, as chief executive of
the state, to rise above Hawley,
the politician, and set his seal
of approval upon the strength
ening clause. That was right,
and there is no man who can sue
cessfully refute the statement.
The Globe does not claim to
know just what the motives were
that actuated the governor in
this matter, but it is more than
willing to believe that they were
good, until there is some evidence
to the contrary and if the gov
ernor is possessed of that legal
insight which his political friends
have so persistently claimed for
him, the fact that he signed this
measure would go to show that
in his judgment it carries with II
legal merit to do the work fol-
which it was intended. With
this "bracer" to the present law

ernor gives forty-three reason
why the bill should have beel

To make real success of any
public movement it is absolutely
and the greater the per cent of
boosters the greater the success
of the enterprise. Base ball car
ried through a season on the right
lines, means more advertisement
for a town than can be secured
by an investment of like sum
of money in any other known
plan of advertising. This is not
matter OF speculation, but is
being demonstrated every season
in almost every thoroughly wide
awake, enterprising town the
country over.
Elsewhere in this issue are set
forth some of the purposes and
plans of the base ball promoters
of the citizens of a community
stand with it and boost for it /;
necessary that certain per cent
of this community. If they are
carried out to a successful issue
it will cost the citizens of Grange
vile little if anything financially
to help place on solid footing
an organization which will not
only be with us this season, but
year after year. But while not
costing much financially, it will
require some display of interest
and loyalty, as well encourage
ment and boosting; and these are
all due from every citizen to any
enterprise of worth that may be
launched in the community. Read
the article and become a loyal
booster.

LEWISTON NORMAL THE
CHAMPION.

The Lewiston Tribune has the
following complimentary remarks
to make of the Normal basket
ball team which recently visited
Grangeville, and which the Globe
cheerfully republishes:
The basket ball game that was
scheduled between the Lewiston
High school and State Normal
will not be played. The game
has been forfeited by the High
school to the State Normal. The
lty championship as result goes
to the State Normal, having five
games credited to it against one
lost, giving it the lead over the
High school, its closest competi-
! TOR.
In a recent trip which the Nor
NAL boys made ON the Camas
prairie they succeeded in taking
every game they played. At Nez
Perce they took the Nez Perez
High school into camp by the
score of 16 to Is. At Grangeville
they played both the Grangeville
Athletic club and the High schoo
there defeating the first by the
score of "a to Is and the second
43 to II. At Culdesac they de.
feated the High school, SO to 10
The record of the Normal bas
ket ball team up to date is a goo
one. OF IL scheduled games they
are credited with nine, losing onl
three, of which one was with the
Portage championship team, anC
they have now succeeded in tax
ing the city championship. Al
several weeks yet remain of thu
basket ball season, Coach Chies-
man is endeavoring to arrang'
for additional games both a
home and elsewhere.
