Senator Weldon b. Hepburn. the
senior senator Of Idaho, died Thurs
day afternoon at Washington. He
has been i'll fer a long time; it
is only his courage that has kept
him alive for year or two past.
He has worked hard, all the time,
except when not even courage could
supply the necessary strength; he
has given prodigally OF all he had
for the service CT the state and ma
ton, when to work meant sure and
early death; an he goes out now,
with only dthe regret that he is
not able to go on with the work.
With the election of Hepburn as
senator in 1908, camee the days of
Idaho's real greatness in the SEN
ate Hepburn was early recogniz-
ed as a power, thinking, fighting
machine, the peer of anyone in the

what fear was, nor did he care for
isolation or dislike or even con-
tempt---he made his own course as
he willed it, and majority or min
ority or eeven standing absolutely
alone was all one to him. There
are few men who ever get into pub
lie life with such uncomprising fix
ity of will; there have been few
men in thee nation for a genera
ton as capable, as encyclopedia in
their attainments. When Senator
Borah went to Washington as his
partner to represent Idaho in 1907,
it was recognized as the strongest
delegation from any state, east or
west Mr. Hepburn has been sink

maladies aggravated by reckless

series OF plays for the benefit OF
the Commercial Club plan of adver-
tising the town and tract. The

weather ended it. But On Monday
night of this week, it was revived,
and the work CT preparation is now

Temporary Appointment, then Legislature Will
Elect Permanent Successor

The political situation in Idaho
was still further complicated this
week, by the news of he death Of
Senator Hepburn in Washington.
He has been so i'll for a long time
past, that the matter was recog-
nized as really proper subject for
campaign speculation. But now he
is gone, and there is no postponing
Of the question which his death has
raised
The governor will have the ap-
pointing Of a successor, to serve
until in March. In the meantime,
the neew Legislature to bee elect
ed this fall, will choose a permanent
successor, to fill out the two years
OF the unexpired teerm Just wnc-
the governor will appoint, is a
mos vital democratic problem just
at present. 1t is expected that he
will favor democrat, as the mat
ter is entirely within his control.
Some have wondered if he would
nance a republican, because Hey
burn was a republican; but that is
tco remote chance. There are a
number of aspirants, among them
Frank Mcore, John Nugent, Fred

The Bostcns had the briiliancy, and
enough nerve to bring them winners
over even the, seasoned Mathewson
Meyers, and the high-priced stars
like Marquard and Tesr eau.
Wood, the star pitcher for Bos-
ton, won two games, and then had
bad day, when New York hit
him for six runs in the first in
ming Of the third game. New York
got that game by a big score. But
in the last game, Wood pitched part

success. Bedient. his partner, won

was a disappointment to his millions

He was in hard luck all through

inning, and New York, batting first
in the tenth, getting one run, the
crowd was almost frenzieed with ex-
element Bostcn ended the game
and the series by getting two runs.

COUNTY POLITICS.
Local Man Sure to Win; Most of Re-
pnblican Ticket Probable.

Friends Of w. j. Taper, candi-
date fer county commissioner will
be pleased to know that every in
dication is fer his being elected by
the largest majority cf any one on
the county ticket---unless it should
be the legislative ticket on a pledge
for Bcrah for senator From cut
side points comes the word that he
is going to get an almost unanimous
veto. Mr. Taper is not politi-
clan, and he has spent little time
in campaigning. but has looked aft
or his business as he will look afte
the county business when elected.
The county is to be congratulated q
having that type of candidates.
The Progressive party of Lincoln
county this week strongly endorsed
the republican candidates for the
legislature as the only ones who
can be trusted to vote for the re-
election of Senator Borah. Most 0
the Progressives are republicans,
and will vote the republican coun-
ty ticket pretty straight, though it
is certain that there will be some
exceptions. Even though they are
obliged to write in the names of
the disfranchised electors, they will
givee Roosevelt a formidable vote,
and the Progressive state ticket will
have a good support, especially the
governor.
There is coed reason to believee
that the republicans will win practi-
ca1ly the whole ticket in the coun-

1.-THE BEST THERE IS.'
HALEY Land Office A Model for
the Whole West.

An inspector in the general land
office service, whose work is that
of an expert to check up and advise
the land offices through several OF
the western states, recently visited
the U S. land office at Haley, full
to the brim with the troubles he
had found elsewhere in his territory
Here was where he had the sur
prise cf his life. He had not q sin
gle reform suggestion, not short
cut to efficiency, not even a kick
TO offer. that the local office had
not beaten him to it, and was using
the same method or better one
oof theeir own devising. He said
that this was the star office of the
whole west, or words to that eff
feet. And it is a maximum Of
flee. fer perhaps the biggest vol
ume of work of any office in ha
dozen states. This clock-work reg
u'arity and efficiency has been
brought about by the cordial cooper

succeed Hepburn, and should they
also succeed in defeating Hawley
as governor, theere are some easy
chances that a way will be provided
to let Hawley take this appcintive,
four months term himself. But If
the democrats should win the legis-
lature, and have the present ap-
pointive term, thetwo years elective
term to succeed Hepburn, and the
six year term to succeed Borah, 1t
would give three places to fill, and
the governor has wanted the long,
six-year term to follow in Borah's s
shoes
If the republicans win the legis-
lature, which is about four to one
probability, Borah will be reflect
ed for the long term. Some other
republican will be named for the
other place, name at present un-
known. Judge Ailshie, James II.
Brady and Frank r. Gooding are
the most probable candidates, all
having been considered as in the
race for long time past. 1t is
not now certainty whether any
of thesee could get it, as the ques-
tion is too new to have any definite
information on it. But the new va
cancy emphasizes the Importance o
the legislature, and the fight for
that branch of the ticket will be
the most vigorous the state has
ever known.

Is worth. There is no virtue in a
fixed mint price for gold, but there
Is virtue in a fixed purchasing pow
er of money.
"The great fall of prices ending
in 1895 was often referred to as an
appreciation of gold, just as the rise
of prices since 1896 is often refer
red TO a. a depreciation of gold. In
other words, the dollar, the pound
sterling, the franc, the mark and all
other monetary units in gold were
increasing in purchasing power be-
fore 1896 and since 1896 have been
decreasing. In both cases the pur-
chasing power varied.
THE continual variation in the
real value of the dollar is the bane
of business. 1t is one of the sources
of booms, crises, contractions and
depressions by which modern bust
ness men are perpetually vexed. I'm
fortunately, as yet, the rank and file
of business men do not realize the
close connection between the cycles
of trade and the instability of the
dollar.
81 firmly believe, however, that
the time must come when business
men throughout the world will feel
the need of a more stable unit of
value. Business men appreciate the
necessity Of a scientific determine
ton of the yard, the pound, the hour,
the horsepower, the kilowatt, &c.
The governments have bureau Of
standards to make sure that these
units are determined to the highest
possible degree of precision. Yet
our yard stick of purchasing power.
the dollar, the most essential and
universal unit employed by the bust
ness man, is permitted to change in
c~essantly. The whole world COM
planned when the dollar appreciated
and complained again when it de-
preciated. No one will deny that
theoretically it ought neither to APP
p~reciate nor depreciate, but to re-
main unchanged. We have, at pres
ent, a dollar of fixed weight but not
of fixed purchasing power; and we
shall never secure a fixed monetary
yardstick until business men univer-
sally appreciate its Importance.
Personally l hope that an interna-
tional conference on the cost of liv-
ing, while it could not be expected
to secure this result Immediately,
may lay the basis for it inthe years
to come. This it might do by caus-
ing business men throughout the
world to demand it."
