THE DIRECT PRIMARY AGAIN.

1t has been long time since the
Tribune referred to the direct pri-
mary, and, it will probably be a
long time again before we again dis
cuss the subject. However, we
would like to remind the direct pri-
marists that the only two United
States senator's, alive and in the
Senate, who were elected by ques-
tionable means are from direct pri-
mary states. The two men are
Senators Stephenson of Wisconsin
and Senator Lorimer of Illinois. We
would also remind the Idaho fol-
lowers of the vogue that the Wiscon-
sin law was the father OF the Idaho
law and the Idaho law its own
cousin.
The Tribune is inclined to look
upon Mr.. Lorimer with kindness.
The evidence introduced before the
Senate Investigating Committee
would come long way from con-
Victing any one. The enemies in
the senate of Mr.. Lorimer also in
spire confidence. However we will
let that abide. Senator Lorimer is
under suspicion. Senator Stephen
son is under suspicion. 1t was held

berry and election by money. The

We believe in the practice as we'll as
in the theory of local option. As. long
as any considerable proportion of
the people of Canyon county are in
doubt as to the practicability of the
particular system in vogue, we shall
favor elections at reasonable inter-
walls. We believe, however, that at
ter the election this fall there will be
no great number of people who will
be In doubt.

THE LOCAL OPTION ELECTION.

Undoubtedly, those who sign the
petition asking for an election as
provided for in the local option law.

"unco good" are prone to deny
Others the rights they demand for
themselves. Those who fight the
election at this time must certainly
have little faith in the efficacy of
their law and the justice Of their
cause, otherwise they would not be
afraid of the people.

two years-just long enough to

sEBREE AwAKENs THEM.

The Tribune is informed that the
activity being displayed by the Sc
brees has in a manner awakened
the Pierce people. We do not know
how true it is, but we are told that
last week an agent of the Boise &
Interurban waited on Mr.. Sebree
and wanted to know what he meant.
1t seems that Mr.. Sebree has an eve
on an electric railway from Caldwell
to Nampa, and preliminary to the
achievement of building such, went
out and got the right of way, which
of course looked suspicious to the
B. & 1. The B. & I. intimated that
1t alone should build to Mamma. as
1t, by right of discovery, had vest
ed interests that were not to be in
terfered with. Me. Sebree. we are
told, informed his visitor that he
didn't give a continental for the
vested interests OF the B. G l., as
he sometimes vested a few interests
himself. He would do as he
pleased. What he pleased to do
time would tell. In consequence
the B. G. I. may build to Nampa also
and likewise.

brees, that is, this is funny: They

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

We note that the editor of our
local contemporary, The Blab, and
one who styles himself Ernest" are
engaged in a delicate and very inter
esting discussion. The question Is:
Does the prospective bride have a
burning desire that the man she
marries be the father of all her
children. There are other subsidi-
airy questions thrown into the dis
cussion, in order to enable contro-
versy, it would seem, because both
are nearly agreeable on the main
point, although they have a little
difference of expression. ERNEST"
has it that the woman has "a burn
ing desire" that he be the father of
all her children, while the editor
of the Blab has 1t that "she expects
him to be the father of all her chill
dren." To our mind "Ernest's''
statement of the case is the better
one, although both may be correct,
Never having been bride, and never
hoping to be all brides, we cannot
definitely decide the question. 1t
may be that there are those who
have the burning desire, and others
the expectation, and still others who
have neither. 1t depends consid-
erably on circumstances. Where the
marriage is youthful and of love the
burning desire is certainly there, to
the best of our knowledge and be-
lief. Where the contracting parties
are more mature and more calculat-
ing the expectations are probably
there, although we have our grave
doubts. Where the marriage is
made to make one or the other re-
spectacle, or one of temporary &C
comodation, or for various other
reasons we might mention the
chances are that neither the burning
desire nor the expectation is there.
TIL Tribune is not trying to get
into this discussion. In fact, we
intend keeping clear of it. We real
ize that the Blab is an authority on
most subjects and ERNEST" seems
to be equally learned. We refer
to the matter solely to give the ar
gumnt publicity. The people
should know of this discourse, and
there may be some who do not read
the Blab. We have but one suggest
ion, and that is that straw vote be
taken on the question. MANY
weighty questions are thus settled,
Ot course, severe qualifications
should be laid upon those entrusted
With the franchise. The prime
qualification is that the voter be a
woman, which would eliminate the
EDITOR of the Blab and Ernest"
We think. The woman should be
prospective bride, a married woman
IF grass widow. A plebiscite of
hese three brands of women would
settle the question in a jiffy, of not
sooner, and we fear the present con-
will never arrive at a
ust and right conclusion. either of
he question or of the controversy.

nois; the trusts; the railroads; the
tariff, and the ruin of the country
generally. But the election of Lori
mer is causing him the most trou-
BILE. He wants another investiga-
ton. If Lorimer is not found guilty
the senate is dishonored and the
country is ruined. 1t would really
be too bad if Senator Lorimer were
honestly elected. But why Lori
mer? What's the matter with
Stephenson of LaFollette's own
state? Why not investigate him?
He is under suspicion. He has
been charged, not only with bribery
in the legislature, but with the
corruption of a considerable number
of the electorate of Wisconsin. We
will put you next.
About three years ago the Wiscon-
sin legislature, inspired by LaFol-
lette, undertook to investigate Sena-
tor Stephenson. The investigation
showed that Senator Stephenson had
spent upwards of 100000 in his
primary campaign for the United
States senate. So far, so good, but in
cidentally it came out that before that
Mr.. Stephenson and Mr.. LaFollette
had been bosom friends, old cronies,
in fact, and that Mr.. LaFollette
had expected Mr.. Stephenson to put
up the money for his campaign, too.
Mr.. Stephenson thought that was
carrying friendship too far and re-
fused. LaFollette henchmen fol-
lowed Stephenson from hamlet to
hamlet, from city to city and from
state to state soliciting funds for
the LaFollette senatorial campaign.
This much transpired and then the
legislative investigation was quietly
dropped. OF late the old charges
against Stephenson have been re-
surrected but LaFollette is not
urging them. He is still afraid for
himself. This much for the hon
esty of purpose of Mr.. LaFollette.
Yet this is the same man who is
worrying about the honor of the
senate and the welfare of the coun-
try, and phophesying by day and by
night the evils that are abount to
befall us in case Mr.. Lorimer is not
kicked out of the senate.
Don't is strike you that Mr.. La
Toilette is greatly exaggerating the
ills of the country? 1t would seem
that a senate that could stand
Stephenson and LaFollette would
not be disgraced much by Lorimer.
But LaFollette understands human
nature. He too, knows that We are
all inclined to exaggerate our ills,
especially those we know nothing
about. He expects to achieve popu-
larity and perhaps the presidency by
the policy of exaggerating imagin-
airy evils. But remember the demo-
gogue. Remember that the coun-
try is not going to the bow-wows,
however Lorimer was elected. And
when you hear those prophets of
evil and disaster, remember your
OWN experiences. Bear in mind
hat nine-tenths of all the troubles
you ever had were all in anticipation
md that tn remaining tenth was
lot half as bad as you expected.

Taking Up Our Cross.

The cross Is to be met with in little
things as well as in great things: In
the little details Of daily life; In our
conduct with our friends; in the daily
subsection Of our creaturely will; In
the turning aside from those attrac.
tions which lead us out Of the way Of
duty or the path Of privilege: In the
continual preference Of that which
savors OF God to that which savors Of
man; In always putting his will first
and our own win second; in never do
ing a thing merely because 1t pleases
us to do It. nor shrinking from doing
anything because 1t is painful. but In
ever endeavoring to be guided by the
desire to become conformed unto the
nature Of him who is our leader. II
Is in such little things as these that
the cross is to be taken up.-Rev. w

career has extended throughout many
years. General Keller holds the
