EXALTED IDEA OF ITS
MISSION.

The Northern Idaho News surely
has an exalted idea of the mission
of the democratic party if it in
tends the public to take seriuosly
the views which it sets forth in
a recent article. The News while
instructing its party leaders chow
to play their cards right" clear
ly shows its own hand" or
rather, its cloven foot. Isn't this
an inspiring declaration of prin
ciples. The News says:
Each Of democracy's presi-
dental candidates has legions of
friends in Idaho. In the state,
as in the nation, it is anybody s
race. But certain facts should be
kept in view. A new lease of
power, greater than any since
the civil war, is in store for the
democratic party, if it plays its
cards right. One of the most inn
portant parts of the tactics is to
take advantage of republican mis-

Everybody in central Idaho is
interested in the opening up OF
the waterway to the seabOard,
therefore the article which ap.
pears in another portion of this
issue announcing the fact that
largely through the efforts of
Senator Hepburn the appropria-
tions for the Improvement of the
Cello canal and locks and the
Snake river have been increased
respectively from 100000 to
100000 and $4,000 to $4,000,
will be received with deep inter
est and approval. 1t means more
rapid and more extensive improve
ments of this waterway which
carries to the outside markets of
the world the vast products of
the mines, fields and ranges of
this prosperous and productive
section of country; and when put
in proper condition that the
transportation rates will be ma
terially reduced, which also means
that the producers throughout
this section will benefit to the
extent of that reduction in dol
lars and cents.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Globe appears the announcement
OF the candidacy of w. l.. Gift
ford, the present efficient secre-
tary of state, for denomination to
that very important state office
at the coming primary in July.
Mr.. Clifford has made an excel
lent record in the office of secre-
tary of state; such record in
fact, that no one in his party
seems disposed to enter the race
against him for the nomination
or question his right to re-elec-
ton. 1t therefore gives the Globe
pleasure to present the name of
Mr.. Clifford for the consideration
of its readers for that office, and
to be able to say that no question
of the fitness of Mr.. Clifford for
the office he seeks has been rails
ed among his own party or by the
papers of the opposition.

SHOULD EDIT TT ALL.

One OF our most highly priced
exchanges is the Caldwell Tri-
bune. The Tribune, however, is
decidedly opposed to the renom-
ination of Mr.. Roosevelt, which
it has a perfect right to be, but
it should take time to consult the
anti-Roosevelt plate matter from
the opposition bureau, which it
is using, before it writes it's edi-
torials, and thus avoid confliction
of views in the same issue at
least. In its last weeks issue
the Tribune says editorially:
1.-The people do not fear that
Roosevelt is plotting to make him.
self an emperor. Most of them
have an idea that even if he were
elected again, the republic would
survive. The danger is not in
Roosevelt himself so much as in
what it may prepare the way for.
The idea that Roosevelt is of EN-
peror timber is ridiculous, but his
success would mean the upset
ting of precedent that has been
a guard against a possible Caesar
that might arise, and the violat-
ing of tradition that has come
to have almost the force of con-
stitutional provision.
While on another page the Tri-
bune reproduces that marvellous
work of art which is being used
ad libitum, free gratis" by the
reactionary papers, entitled In
carnation,' which shows Colonel
Roosevelt well trigged out in all
the government paraphernalia, al
so girded about with U. S. belt
and labeled, Eventually Emper-
or. - just in front of the Col
onel is the Little Corporal. Ma
poleon, marked as the self
crowned emperor. = If the Tri-
bune editor does not believe in
that kind of tommy-rot, and it
is not believable that he or any
other sensible person does. in all
fairness, it would hardly look the
proper thing to dish up to his
readers, even as a filler.

PROTECTION VS.. FREE
TRADE

The principle of protection to
home industries, upon which the
republican party was built up, AND
upon which the prosperity of our
nation has so long depended, is
based on the simple statement
made many years ago by Abraham
Lincoln: If we buy of other
nations we get the product of
their industry and they get our
money. That's Free Trade. If
we buy at home, we get the pro-
duet of our own industry-and
keep our money at home. That s
protection" And that s all there
is in free trade or reciprocity,
figure it as you will.
And this matter of protection
has a local application. If the
community buys articles of home
production, the money is kept
here and used in the betterment
Of ourselves and our neighbors.
Ii we buy elsewhere of course
we get the articles we want but
The other town, county or state
gets our money.

FORTUNATE TO HAVE
BORAH.

A prominent man from the east
who recently made business trip
to Orofino took occasion to pay
the state of Idaho quite a COM
pliment in speaking of the polit-
zeal situation. He remarked to a
friend: Your state is fortunate
in having such an able man in
the United States senate as Borah.
Why, you see his name mentioned
in connection with public affairs
fifty times where you never even
hear of other senators. He is a
brainy man and an honor to your
state. "-Orofino Tribune.
