WILL MAKE A GOOD ONE.

The political pot in Idaho coun-
ty has begun to simmer and sing
in quite a merry way. A number
of names of prominent citizens
on both sides of the political
stage have been floating about for
number of days tagged with
various offices which their friends
seem to think they are eminentH
qualified to fill with grace and
efficiency.
On the republican side the
name of Evan Evans is being
brought to the front for the SEN
ate by his admiring friends and
is meeting with a most hearty re-
ception. While this is certainly
very gratifying to the friends of
Mr.. Evans, as well as compliment
tary to himself, it is not surpris-
ing. Mr.. Evans has been resi-
dent of Idaho county for the past
thirty-two years, and during that
period has been identified in a
more or less degree with every
step of the growth and progress
of the county. He is not knock
er, but a booster; not a hot air
artist, but one who does things.
He has heavy property interests
in the county, and he is never
backward about spending few
dollars to improve and develop
the same. Mr.. Evans is not a
politician, an orator or a capital
list; but is a well balanced, well
to do and well disposed citizen,
who is capable. of doing his coun-
ty as much good in the legisla-'
ture, should he be elected. as
most any other man in it. The
Globe has heard of no other
name being mentioned for this
office among the republicans, and
while Mr.. Evans, it is said. has
not yet consented to make the
race, strong pressure is being
brought to bear upon him to do
so, and the Globe trusts that his
consent will soon be- forthcoming.

The New York Evening Post

The New York Evening Post
of q recent date, contained an
ARTICLE written from London upon
the effects of Parcels Post upon
the smaller cities and towns OF
England. In part it said: cut,
side companies have come IN ana
captured the best Of the trade.
Apart from the question of the
losses suffered by the tradesmen
who have been crowded out by
this competition the new tenden-
cy affects seriously the civic wei
fare of the place. Y ears ago you
had at the head of anyone OF
these stores man who was strik-
ing his roots into the life of the
town. He regarded the town as
the permanent home OF himself
and family and he was largely
interested in its mu nicipal and
social affairs. Today you find IN
his stead a young un married man
ager who may be at any time re-
moved to a similar post at an
other of his compan US branches,
mere transient without any sense
of local citizenship or any de-
sire to connect himself with the
general activities of the town.

The Caldwell Tribune which
has been so ably edited for the
past number of years by j. l..
Davis, has changed hands, a
stock company composed of local
people having purchased the
plant and the Tribune will this
week appear for the first time
under the new management. The
new editor is d. F. Banks, one
of the principal stock holders in
the new company, and the retir-
ing editor says the paper will be
much better edited in the future
than in the past. If so, it will be
deserving of patronage, for while
Editor Davis has not always look
ed at matters from the same view
point as the Globe editor, he has
always presented his views in an
able and effective way that COM
manded the respect and consider
alton of those differing from
him, therefore the Tribune has
always been one of our welcome
exchanges. The paper will con-
tlnue republican under the new
management, to whom we extend
a cordial welcome.

in announcing his candidacy for
denomination, says he is salts
fled to allow his work and deci-
sions since being called to that
high position speak for him, and
by these he is willing to stand or
fall. In an interview he is quot
ed as saying
Il have nothing to say. My
record is well known. The opin-
ions of the supreme court for
the last six years reflect my
views on many questions, and
indicate in a judicial way my
views on many important SUBJ
jects. These views, although of
legal nature, are of more in
terest to the people of the state
than views upon political matters.
If l am renominated and elected,
/ shall continue to do my duty
and try to discharge the respon-
sibihties of the office in the flu
ture as l have in the past. l am
very much devoted to my duties,
and feel very proud of the work
that our court has done. If that
kind of judicial service meets
with the approval of the people,
l shall fully appreciate the
honor and give to the office my
devoted service.'

LOOKS LIKE A

The Beginning Of a Bolt which
May End In Two Candidates.

11:45 o'clock, saying they We're
"out for good.
The cause of the bolt was the re-
fusal of the committee to give full
hearing on all contest cases. After
the Roosevelt men had left the COM

not proceeded far when a motion to
adjourn until o'clock. tomorrow

That Is the way it looks now with
hopes Of a dark horse, and even if
there were, the disruption Of the old
party has gone so far that there is
no possibility of ever bringing the
contending factions together under
any conceivable conditions with the
people at large. The old Republican
party is doomed and new alignments

The sentiment of our people con-
tinues to form and become more en-
.phatic for Attorney c. H. Jones, for
Judge In this county. 1t is generally
believed that he Is the most avail
able man for the place and his rep
utation for honesty and justice to all
makes him an ideal candidate. He
is pure in thought and action and
then he would be fresh from the
ranks Of the people with a record
that would bring to his support all
honest thinking voters from every
party. His experience and high
standing as lawyer and his truly
exemplary character as gentleman
makes him a favorite with the
masses. II he should be nominated
as the choice OF the Democratic par
ty he would make thorough can
vass OF the district and would add
great strength to the judiciary and
eleyte the bench to high standard
He Is of the common people and
v hen they once come to know him
all over the district he will be a sure
winner at the polls in November.

with Mr.. Taft's acquiescence or
by his direction and in his interest
his followers have raised an issue
which is all important to this coun-
try
If the methods adopted by the
National Committee are approved
by the convention great crime will
have been committed.
The triumph of such proceedings
at this moment would mean the
wreck of the Republican party, and
If such proceedings become habitual
it would mean the wreck of popular
government.
The actions of the Taft leaders in
the National Committee, taken to-
gether with the active aid of Mr..
Taft's private secretary and OF one
of Mr. Taft's Cabinet Officers, are
monstrous.
When | made up my mind that ii
was my duty to enter this fight I had
become convinced that Mr.. Taft had
definitely and completely abandoned
the cause of the pecpie and
surrendered himself wholly to the
Buildings of the professional politica'
bosses and OF the great privileged
interests standing behind them
Mr.. Taft at first denied that he
represented the bosses. His deeds
belied his words l doubt if at pres
ent he would repeat the denial.
There never has been clearer
lineup than this between the plain
people of the country on the one
side and on the other the powers that
|prey, the representatives of special
privilege in the world Of business and
their tools and instruments in the
world of politics. There can be nc
compromise in such costest
Mr.. Taft sent an urgent appeal to
California just before the primary
election, an appeal which showed his
complete acquiescence in what was
done, and unless he was prepared
then to protest it was dishonorable
to protest afterward 1,

form. We believe in striking dowr
every bulwark of special privilege
Above all we are against the evil
alliance of special privilege in bus

tics.

tory of a nation and what you do vii

Matches.


Matches.
A marriage aid bureau at Wash
ington conducted by the United
States government with eounselors
in each city to help men and women
make scientific marriages, is the plan
or DR.. Sarah N Merrick of Cam
bridge, widely known for her re-
search work at Harvard.
She has studied unscientific mar
riages and the effects on the hus-
band and wife, as well as on their
offspring. The children, she declares,
are in many cases the victims of the
punishment that follows unwise mar
Eriages.
There is plan by which people
could marry happily" she said but
like most plans, In order to be
widely effective, 1t would have to be
conducted BY the government BY
having counselors in Boston and
other cities mistakes could be pre-
vented.
ITO begin with, there are manv
young women who, on perceiving
that certain young man Is paying
them attention which Is bound TO
result in proposal. would like to
obtain the unbiased advice of coun-
selor. What would she do? She
would simply 60 to the local coun-
selor and In short space Of time he
would have whole history of ner
case.
Detail Is what counts In married
life but few appreciate the fact UNI
til they find that they are unhappy
Now, for instance. young woman
may be thinking of mart. ing a young
man who cannot afford to keep a
maid for her. This young woman
may not know even one of the minor
points OF housekeeping, and, what
Is still more. she may have no de-
sire to learn any. The marriage of
this couple would be fatal to both,
for they NO doubt have been ac-
customed to all the comforts of a
well managed household.
Next she may dislike children
while he may worship them. This
would mean discord. Again her re-
ligion may be different from his. Or
she may be spendthrift and he may
be of a saving habit, which would
result In separation in less than a
year These would be questions for
the counselor to decide.

made or both. / think that every
couple should feel Obliged TO have a
