The democracy of Idaho county GER
tain1y has come well under the hyp-
motto domination of the great SOM
brero-wearing governor of this bully
state of ours, who swears after the
style of the immortal Jackson, and
rules and reigns like the autocratic
Sultan, by the power of his might, and
who holds In his good right hand the
choice offices until such time as he
may decide which he desires to ap-
propriate to his own use before dis
pensing his bounties among his wor-
shipful retainers. That this is not
uttered for the sole and sinister pur-
pose of damaging the future pros
poets of this "lordly commoner," it
is only necessary to state that at
the recent democratic convention In
Grangevile a state committeeman wa.
selected in the person of our breezy,
but high-spirited and independent con-
temporary Of the Free Press. and
then he was "hog with instruc-
tions-instructions bearing new
label and other than that of "inde-
pendent democracy" and of a vim
tage Of more recent date than even
that which ushered into the world
the progressive party'-instruction
not to vote for some man for state
chairman well known as a great lead
er and unequalled as a wire puller;
but to vote for some man the name
OF whom they did not know, and
would not know until the same should
be disclosed by the great democratic
dictator of the state, "By the Eternal
Jim Hawley." The spirit of those in
structionsl was: ''Vote for any burned
old thing our great governor may
name, we're in his hands" Is this
free and Independent democracy?
Democracy pure and undefiled, that
knoweth nothing but the voice of the
people?" Or Is 1t something else?
II not of the old brand. what do
you call it? And how do. you like it?

POOR BRAND OF POLITICS.

reports from north Idaho indicate
that there were many hundreds OF
second choice votes cast for SMorri-
son in that part of the state which
, We're not counted, and 1t Is claimed
recount of all counties would show
him the nominee over both Haines
and Clagstone.-Boise Capital News
We reproduce this paragraph from
an article appearing in this Boise
paper for the purpose of calling at
tention to the political character of
a publication which will be quoted
extensively by the democratic press
during the coming campaign.
The Herald was friendly to the
candidacy of John 7. Morrison dur
ing the primary canvas. In north
Idaho, it is safe to say, a majority
of the newspapers endorsed his can
didacy. Still there has not been
single paper, and these papers are
Morrison's friends, which has discov-
cred any such negligence or crook
edness on the part of election judges
and clerks in this section of the state
as here reported
1t Is but fair to contend that the
standard of intellect and integrity of
election judges and clerks lis as high
in north Idaho as 1t is in the south
ern counties.
No complaint Is made of failure to
count second choice votes except IN
the north where, the Capital News
says, many hundreds" were overlook
cd. 1t Ia singular that In the north
ern counties, where Morrison was the
second candidate, running next to
GLADSTONE, that he should suffer In
the manner complained of, when It
Is to be assumed that he was rela-
lively as popular with the election Of
ficiale as he was with the voters at
the polls. Unless a wholesale con-
spiracy of election officials Is to be
charged. 1t would logically appear
that any failure to count the second
choice vote in the northern counties
would have resulted in a loss to
Haines. the republican nominee.
According to the official returns one
voter in fourteen cast a second choice
vote on governor and the total vote
polled. both first and second choice,
aggregated 4O.645. These figures ad-
NIT that less than 5000 second choice
votes were cast in the state. Morri-
sons combined vote was 300 less
than Clagstone's and his percentage
of second choice votes was greater
than that of either of the other can
didates named.
In order to nominate Mr.. Morrison
upon a recount it Dis evident the edi-
tor would have to adopt the math-
ematics of the huckster who said
Eight Fights are lightweight. l will
give 1t to you for seventy-five."
Such statements as made by the
Capital News should not be allowed to
go unchallenged. Their purpose is to
underhandedly reflect upon the repub-
lican nominee. In other words, it
might as well be said to the people
of south Idaho that the people of
north Idaho nominated John Haines
through political chicanery. And, sim
gular as 1t may seem, there are peo-
pie living where that paper circulates
who will believe such rot.-Spirit

Forests of Africa.

One of the great natural treasures
of Africa is the immense extra tropical
forest that extends almost unbroken
from the extreme southern end along
the eastern highlands to the equator.
There are gaps in it. and the trees
change in kind somewhat with change
of latitude. but upon the whole it has
the same character throughout. The
altitude above the sea changes regu-
larly with decrease of latitude. Near
the cape the forest grows at sea level;
in Natal and the Transvaal its alti-
tude increases to 1900. 1000 and
5000 feet. and on approaching the
equator it rises to 1000. feet and final
" to 10000 feet. In. the equatorial
highlands the growth is very vigorous.
and the forest is enriched with the
pencil cedar of Abyssinia. Youths

LET IN THE LIGHT.
Darkened Rooms Are Too Suggestive
of Darkened Lives.


Fresh air enthusiasts are familiar
enough to most of us, but we hear less
of enthusiasm for light. Darkened par
lors, darkened bedrooms. darkened sick
rooms are too common. says the Chris
tian Herald. Sir B. W. Richardson.
the London scientist and physician. de-
clared that when the professors of
healing enter sickroom their first
words in most cases ought to be
Goethe's dying exclamation: More
light! More light!'
The light of the sun is Gods own
microbe killer. germicide. disinfectant,
prophylactic. sickness healer. There is
no physician. no chemical antidote. no
compounded prescription to be compar-
ed with sunlight Without it nature
could not perform her functions. Man.
beast. bird. insect would fall victims to
the deadly gases that would prevail.
The horrid mists and deadly gases are
dispersed and decomposed by the ac-
tion Of light. Let it in everywhere.
Let the light in more and more abun-
dainty. Faded carpets are not as pitt
full as, faded cheeks. Spoiled cushions
are trivial compared with spoiled
health Darkened rooms are too sug-
gestive of darkened lives.

The Romano. of Mark lemons Most
Successful Drama.

There is a singular story connected
with the play Hearts Are Trumps,'
which Mark Lemon. the famous Punch
editor. wrote many years ago. When
Mark Lemon was visiting friends
house. one day he found there an elder
ly gentleman with long white hair
and a worn. sad face. He was very
seedily clad. and there was something
in his appearance which excited Lem
pn's curiosity. When the visitor had
gone Mark inquired who he was.
"A rich man once replied his
friend. Lost everything at the gam
ing table. But the strangest part Of
the story Is that no one. not even the
members of his own family. suspected
him of gambling until the crash came.
He had kept it a secret from all who
knew him. He is now little better
than a beggar. He comes TO me some
times and.I give him a good meal for
the sake of auld lang syne."
The tale haunted Mark. says Thor
manly in THE Spice of Life.y He
imagined daughter waiting at home
night after night for the gambling ia
ther, ignorant of his secret vice until
the day of ruin revealed the cause of
all those mysterious absences. He
worked the idea into play which he
called Hearts Are Trumps." the most
successful of all his seventy dramas.
On the first night it was produced,
glancing into the pit. he saw seated
among the audience the very man
whose career had suggested the plot.

Coal Rip Measurements

A solid cubic foot of anthracite coal
weighs ninety three younds. When bro
ken for use it weighs about fifty-four
pounds. Bituninous coal when broken
up for use weighs about fifty pounds.
The consequent rule for the approxi-
mate measurement of coal in bin or
box is to multiply the length in feet by
the height in feet and again by the
breadth in feet and this result by fifty
four for anthracite coal or by fifty for
bituminous coal The result will equal
the aumber Of pounds, and to find the
