E. NJ Pugmire, state senator from
Bear Lake county is to be the candi-
date for congress, thus satisfying the
Mormons. Hon. John c. Rice OF
Caldwell will be sprung for justice of
the supreme court and Frank Harris
will be the candidate for attorney
general. Senator Day Of Shoshone
county is the likely candidate for con-
gress from north Idaho. The other
Offices will be put where they will 90
the most good.
You can easily see how the different
forces are to be worked. By endors-
ing Wilson and putting Hawley in
Harmon's cabinet, and with Dubois
running Champ Clark's campaign
there is not ghost of show for the
Idaho Democrats to lose out national
ly provided the party pulls through at
all. By nominating Senator Pugmire
the Mormons will be appeased; by
nominating Senator Day "big bust
ness in north Idaho will be enlisted;
the nomination of Hon. John c. Rice
will give the ticket respectability:
Frank Harris is billed to ginger it up;
and Nugent wants the senatorship
That is all he gives cuss about. There
you have the dope as pure as rape seed
is supposed to be under the state

ments or miscues that take place will
be presented later.

DO WE WANT A DICTATOR?

The Moscow Post is lovingly quoted
by the Grangeville Globe when it ad-
vocates the election of dictator ito
dictate terms that will be for the best
interests of the American people," The
Globe is usually sane and we cannot
imagine what is wrong with it that it
should approve such an idea. 1t must
be that the full significance of the
Posts suggestion was not appreciated.
Why any American citizen should
think for one moment that the Ameri-
can people needed dictator to dictate
terms for their best interests is utterly
beyond us. If American citizenship
has reached such a stage we would
advocate the browning of Theodore
the First and be done with it.
1t is SNUG conceit of the American
people that they think they are never
in danger of the form of government
changing and changing for the worse.
Other republics may be overthrow,
other peoples may be subjected to the
sway of despots; other civilizations
may be swept away; but this republic,
this people and this civilization have
sort of divinity about them that will
perpetuate themselves. The price of
liberty today is the same as it ever
has been-eternal vigilance.
Til Tribune has no apprehensions
that Col. Roosevelt will be nominated
at the Chicago convention; and if
nominated it thoroughly believes that
ne will be overwhelmingly defeated
by the voters at the election. The fate
OF Col. Roosevelt is not worrying us
at all, but the fact that there are
American citizens, and apparently
thousands Of them, who are willing to
throw aside the wisdom of the found |
ers of this government;cast aside
their advice as childish; treat with
contempt the policies of the country
tried by experience, and rdicule the |
of the presidency, must make

HAINES IS COMING TO THE
FRONT.

As stated in a former issue of The
Tribune, it looks as though John M
Haines of Boise will be the Repub'i.
can nominee for governor. So many
candidates from north Idaho are put
ting that section of the state in bad
position TIL northern men are handi-
Gaping each other. To add to the
gaiety, another north Idaho Republi-
can has seen the light. He is Mr.. A.
A. Crane, of Harrison. Of him we
know very little, but presume that he
is an excellent man. He will undoubt-
eddy run we'll in Kootenai county.
There seems to be something in the
waters of the lakes Pend d'Oreille and
Occur d'Alene that gives men guber-
material aspirations. Perhaps it is the
outlandish names that flourish in those
parts. Whatever the cause, the fact
remains. The people of north Idaho
must remember that no matter what
the concensus of opinion was at the
meeting held at Boise some months
ago by the state central committee and
by leading politicians, the goods can
not be delivered. The people of Ida
no will vote for the man of their
choice, no matter whether he halls
from Bonner county or Squaw Butte.
His geographical location will make
little difference.
1t is natural that the common peo-
pie Of this section of Idaho will look
favorably upon the candidacy of a
south Idaho man. Assuming that all
the candidates are equal in honesty
and ability the south Idaho man will
be better known in the south, as the
north Idaho men are better known in
the north. The average man will not
buy pig in poke and he will not
vote for man whom he knows the
least. For this reason we assume that
the real fight will be between Mr.
Haines and State Auditor S. D. Tay-
lor. Mr. Taylor has the disadvantage
up to the present time that he will
have at least half dozen local op-
ponents hanging on his flank and |!
sharpshooting from all imaginable po-
sitions.
Another factor that will cause south |
Idaho voters to vote for south Idaho
man is the fact that the governors
office is very important one. He is
a member of several boards and of
course each seton of the state thinks
its affairs are the most important, and
they are, to it. Some one years ago
spread the idea that the interests of
south Idaho and north Idaho were not
the same. In many sections and with
many people the interests of the two
sections are held to be inimical to each

DEMOCRATS MAKE USE OF
THE TAFT TARIFF BOARD

The one thing, above all others,
why The Tribune is in favor of the
| denomination and reelection of
President Taft is that he may have an
opportunity of forever dissolving
politics and tariff legislation. A non
partisan tariff board was authorized
by the Payne bill for the purpose of
investigating the cost Of production
both at home and abroad; TO gather
data for. congress-; and to make rec
commentators for the revision of the
tariff from time to time as conditions
demanded. This was the idea advo-
Gated by President Taft and already
congress is utilizing the information
and data gathered by the board. How
ever, congress is inclined to do away
with the board by refusing it the
necessary appropriations. Business
men who wish to do away with the
quadrennial business depression the
country is subjected to owing to the
presidential elections and the posi-
billity of indiscriminate tariff revision
are interesting themselves to the end
that the tariff board may be retained.
The following article from the New
York Evening Post will prove inter-
esting. 1t follows:
IF the Democrats in the House
shall refuse to insert in the Sundry
Civil Bill the requested appropriation
for the continuance of the work of the
tariff board, the leaders will be forced
to do some explaining. The ways
and means committee majority has
done something that will lay it open

ing worse, if the funds are denied

Gratis that chemicals should be taken

jority of the ways and means commit
tee began a study course in chem
istry. After "boning" for a time, a
report was prepared on certain of the |
elements. Then the students began to
have their doubts, and forthwith they
wrote to the tariff board, asking for
such light on the subject in hand as
it was possible for the business inves-
tigators to shed. The experts re-
sponded promptly, and when the
chemical bill is reproted to the house

tariff boards findings to frame a re-
port, and when he vetoes a tariff bill,
if he does, he probably will make use
of his information:
When the Republicans were in a
majority in the house they passed a
bill for a permanent tariff board. The
standpatters in the senate refused to
sanction the action but contented
themselves with offering a compro-
mise. The present tariff board de-
ponds for its existence upon contin-
ued appropriations from congress.
When the bill making the board
permanent body was on its passage
in the house, Champ Clark, then floor
leader of the Democrats, and Oscar
w. Underwood. the present leader,
voted for the measure, and voting with
them were most of their Democratic
colleagues. The question now con-
Germs itself not only with the boards
permanency, but with the matter of
providing funds to make possible the
continuance of it's work. What are
the Democrats going to do about it?
ut is said that some of the lead
ers feel that the Administration has
had sufficient evidence of support
from the country for his tariff board
plan to make it difficult for the party
in power in the house to cut off the
pay of the board without losing favor
with many voters, particularly those
classed as Independents. The use of
some of the tariff board material in
the preparation of the chemical bill
possibly may indicate a growing will
lingness of the Democratic leaders
to allow the boards members longer
lease of official life.
"Now that the house is democratic
and there is fear that the administra-
ton may be in danger, Republican
senators who have heretofore been
known to be unfriendly to the tariff
board are said to be not only willing,
but eager. to fight for its existence.
So it is that the House majority may
decline an appropriation for the sup
port of the board, but later may be
willing to compromise the matter with
the Republican senator's. There are
some Democrats in the house who are
known to be in favor of giving the
board at least another year in which
to continue the work which it has
begun. All these Democrats are in
auential, and it is known that they
are doing missionary work on behalf

ON THE ROADS OF PERSIA
Vehicles, Called Palakis and kajavahs, Are Quaint and Very
 Uncomfortable.


 Bushire, Persia-The most useful vehicles for long journeys in Persia are the palakis and kajavahs, the quaintest contrivances for travel to be seen anywhere. These Persian cabs" are fixed upon mules. Each animal carries two of them, one on each side. They are furnished with bedding. Men, women and children sit in them cross-iegged, painful and irksome position for Europeans, who usually prefer to ride a horse or doH- key rather than screw themselves up in these boxes.
 Some skill, too, is required in load ing up the mule with its human freight. care being taken that the two people who travel side by side are about the same weight. If a tiny hus- band and a fat wife have to go to- gether, his box must be filled up with ballast so as to equalize the weight. Similar care has to be exercised in dismounting, for if one passenger jumps out without giving warning of ks intention, his neighbor is shot to the ground with unseemly haste.
 The only difference between the kajavah and the palaki Is that the lat

 While many books have been con suited, it is in human documents that the richest material has been found.

 Learned books on the dervishes have been consulted. but it was through the quaint tales of gentle eyed sheik in Jerusalem, who left his humble task of securing pots and ket. ties to make me visit, that I learned past all forgetting, that in spite of the wild demonstrations which travellers witness for a fee in Constantinople and Cairo the controlling motive of the dervish life is the hunger and thirst after righteousness"

That he went to mass regularly admitted, but there some who remarked that his manner of blessing himself revealed the amateur worshper The conjecture that he might be Government spy came to Bartley's ears and at he set about to explode 1t.

He had however stipu- lated that he should not be asked to leave the forge until actual war; had broken out, and his wishes were respected. Many firearms were mended and many bikes made for the mem- bers of the revolutionary society Bartley knew the name of every member; the name of every man who had rife; the name of everybody who committed an outrage for five years previously, and the name of every person on whom an out rage was intended to be committed Bartlev made reports of these particulars to the central office in Dublin.

It may be that recruiting reasons back of Engand's policy of keeping the army and militia out of Irish agrarian troubles. Ireland used to be good recruiting ground for these lat ter forces and it is important to England that it should continue This consideration would dc- tate the wisdom of keeping the military force neutral in Irish internal affairs.

AWAY WITH WINTER RUGS
Floor Coverings of the Lightest De- scription Should Be Used Dur
 ing Summer Months.

The housewife who desires her sum- mer home to appear restful, cool and comfortable will remove the thick mapped floor coverings which have done service during the winter.
 They disagreeably emphasize the warmth and stuffiiness of the room, and are extremely difficult to clean.
 After making the rugs and carpets moth-proof roll them upon poles and store away until the cool days of fall.
 There are plenty of light, cool floor coverings to be had under the names of colonial, cottage and bungalow rugs which are inexpensive, attractive and practical
 There are rugs woven of cotton yarn, without seams and in any size desired. Many pretty designs are to be found in these rugs, or they may be had in plain colors.
 Returning to the days of the four poster" and figured chintZ curtains, we find the rag carpet.
 One of the popular rugs for the summer cottage is woven of rags, with landscape border showing small blouses set among trees and portion of the counery road.
 There are factories where you may send your rags to be woven. To pro duce the best effect the rags should be dyed a uniform color. Pale blue, green, pink and light tan make an ef- fective covering for the floor.
 The braided rugs, scorned for so long. are fashionable again. Their wearing qualities are proverbial.

 Carpets should be lifted from the floor at least once a year and thor oughly cleaned The dirt which col lects beneath grinds and cuts tho threads.
 Wait until the floor has thoroughly dried before relaying a carpet. The tacks are apt to rust and injure the carpet.
