Every Idahoan who is follow
ing the progress of the bill bear
ing upon the election of senators
by direct vote of the people, must
have read with deep satisfaction
and pride and an added sense of
state dignity and Importance, the
speech made by Senator Borah
in the discussion of the proposed
amendment to the direct election
bill, as introduced by Senator
Sutherland of Utah, with the pur~
pose of defeating the bill by the
alienation of the support of the
vote of the representation from
the south through race prejudice.
This is the speech in which Mr..
Borah addressed himself with
such directness and truthfulness
to the hypocritical attitude as
sumed in the matter of protect
ing the negro in his rights, not
only as a voter, but in industrial
pursuits, and which was quoted
and commented upon the country
over. But above and beyond the
able remarks upon "man's in
humanity to man" was the at
tack which Mr.. Borah made upon
the treacherous amendment with
which the opponents set out to
slaughter the bill in the interest
of the people which he had been
working so arduously for many
weeks to have passed. He sus-
tanned his position in the discus
sion of the constitutional points
against the combined legal abil-
ity of the opposition, including
Senators Sutherland, Curtis, Root,
Young, Nelson, of Mimi, Carter,
Clark, and his colleague, Mr.. Hey
burn, and others, ranging from
Maine to the extreme northwest,
and did it in such a pleasant and
dignified though effective man.
ner, as to win general sympathy
and applause. In addition to his
thorough equipment legally for
such discussion, Idaho's junior
senator has keen sense of hui
NOR, a ready wit and a tongue as
sharp and singing in repartee
as it is eloquent and persuasive
in oratory, and in the sustained
dialogue of question and rejoin-
der there were many sharp pas
sages at arms, in which some of
the opposition, Messrs. Nelson
and Carter, among others, had
their tempers somewhat ruffled,
but out from which Mr.. Borah
came smiling and imperturbed.
While the two-third vote nee
essary to amend the constitution
as asked by Mr.. Borah fell
short four votes, being 81 to 33
in its favor, Mr.. Borah in one
sense achieved q great victory
There is probably not a man in
the senate today who attracts
more attention and favorable
comment, or who stands higher
in the esteem of his fellow law
makers or whose counsel is more
sought than Idaho's Junior sena.
tor. Still Mr.. Borah is human,
very human, and his home people
know it, and that, with his other
commendable qualities, is why
they like him and stand back OF
him, and are ready to overlook
and condone such mistakes as he
like any other real human man
is liable to make. Perfection il
not expected or exacted, but reas

diligent application of the sam,

On Saturday last The Richmond
Nirginian published an article on the
splendid achievements OF Mr.. James
CraIg. Of the celebrated Rose Clift
farm, in apple production. The
publication was calculated to be help
fui TO the apple interests of the State.
An error, however, seems to have
crept into the text of the article as
to the manner Of marketing the Crop
calculated to prove detrimental to

In order that the effect of this

portion OF the head lines, wherein il

believe, from the Winchester Star.

When your paper went out with

hands of two of our large southern
dealers, and at S p. NJ. yesterday we
received W letters countermanding
nice orders from two of he best
Wholesale houses in the South. These
merchants stated that as long as we
sold consumers please mark heir or

they sell the retail trade themselves.
and the retailers sell the consumer.
When these Two hous, countermand-
