cOMMENDS HARMONY COURSE.

There is no fight in Idaho county

and the republicans of this county

factions taking the more sensible
view of the situation, using every
honorable means to elect worthy men
to office. In some counties the pro-
gressive element is playing into the
hands of the opposition, and the state
organization is showing poor judgment
and a lack of fair play, by refusing
to endorse or even recognize candi-
dates who were nominated fairly and
squarely by republican, votes in the
primary election. This is the year
when Idaho republicans should pull
together. The next legislature will
elect a United States senator. The
reelection of Senator Borah means
great deal for Idaho. Everybody
realizes this. The Mountaineer wor-
ships no man, its advocacy OF GER
tain men and issues is not measured
by dollars and cents; it has no tools
to grind and in supporting men and
measures is not actuated by personal
motives or self-interest. In this cam
paign the Mountaineer, as usual is
out for the square deal. That's the
only correct system, in or out Of
politics. Neither bull moosers, stand
patters, nor any other combination

A man whose business career has
been so pronounced success as that
of Mr.. Haines, is the sort of man to
whom can be entrusted the big bust

of sagacity and carefulness that act

and accomplished success for him
would of necessity operate in the

HIGH PRICES VS.. Low PRICES

The discussion Of the high cost of
living is rife on all sides these days,
and many of the learned ones have
given long dissertations on the sub
ject with attempts to lay the "blame"
first ON one thing and then on an
other, largely depending upon the
viewpoint and the purpose of the writ
er or orator.
The same complaints come alike
from England and all Europe, and in
this weeks dispatches is recorded
high price riots in Germany and
Bavaria. AS this is the year of the
national campaign the democratic
leaders and papers insist that the
high prices are entirely due to the
republican protective tariff policy,
and at the same time refuse to credit
the protective policy with being the
cause of the prosperity which sup
plies the people with the means to
buy freely the necessaries of life even
at the admittedly high prices which
prevail. Now it is but fair to rea-
IL
for the high price which the man gets
for the article which he has to sell,
that it Is also responsible for the
fact that the man who buys that
article at a paralyzing price has the
means to do so. The old saying that
Jack cannot eat his pudding and at
the same time keep it," applies di-
rectly in the present instance the
expect to long get top wages for
their labor unless somebody gets top
prices for the things which they con-
sumo. This is an automatic truth
which no sane person for a moment
Denies
Then the proposition with the voter
resolves itself into the plain question
of whether he prefers high wages and
high prices, or low wages and low
prices, with times when there are no
wages for the very good reason that
there is no work.
| The democrats promise frankly that
il they are given, the governmental
| reins they will see that the cost of
living is reduced But they do not
state so frankly what they will do
to the laborer's wages. However they
attempt to lead him to believe that
the wages will continue just as good
as they are now, which cannot be
true. To bring the matter directly
home to the voter he must face the
question frankly and fearlessly of
whether he prefers the present high
cost of living with the high wages,
or would rather take the chance of
going back to the times of the last
democratic administration of 1926,
when free trade with attendant low
price of living prevailed. with all too
often no wages to buy the low-priced
necessities. Which times and condi-
tons are aptly referred to by La
mar (Mo) paper of recent date as
follows:
Eighteen years ago the products of
the farm in South Missouri sold at
the following prices:
Eggs, three cents a dozen.
Chickens, three cents a pound.
Hogs, two and one-half cents.
Horses, fifteen dollars.
Cows, ten dollars.
Sheep fifty cents.
Wheat, forty cents.
Corn, eleven cents.
Hay, four dollars.
Labor, fifty cents, ten hours.
Land, twenty-five dollars an acre.
A mule was a joke.
Starvation and want were every
where. Tramps by the hundreds
Aims houses filled. Charity places
overrun. In sixteen days after Nc
Kinley was elected conditions chang
ed and prosperity has reigned al
these years. Do you want to go back

The cost of living has been going
up, while the tariff has remained the
same. Now why blame the tariff for
the upward tendency of things?-

Learning English English.

From the New York Times
The report OF the establishment in
London school of languages Of classes
for the instruction of Americans in Eng
lish speech may seem a joke. But let us
look seriously into the matter briefly. 1t
is a notorious fact that many Americans,
and they Of the not least patriotic type,
return from short sojourns In England
with a newly acquired English accent.
The accent, however. Is not often the
real thing, but poor imitation. IL Is
not all Of approved English speech to
clip the finals of words ending in s.
to say clark" instead of clerk" and
use the rising infection at the ends of
sentences. If travelling Americans are to
bring home an English manner of speak
ing. why should it not be correct? To be
correct, 1T needs to be learned with some
system and at some pains.
What is more, these classes might
serve, with pupils Of the best quality, to
correct the faults of our fiat or nasal ma
tional speech without making it offensive
ly English. A crude or stupid pupil might
emerge from them with a raw imitation
of tones and accent which would always
seem foreign in this country, just as the
inept pupils of dramatic schools exhibit
all the crude rudiments of the art of
makeup" of voice production, and ges-
ture without being able to act at all.
Good English speech is the best English
speech. An American who has never
learned to talk at home land many never
do) could learn much from a competent
teacher Of the approved English way Of
speaking. He would acquire pleasing va
riety Of tone and learn to control his ten
dency to overemphass. He would have
to have brains enough to be able to adapt
what he thus learned to his own needs.
but unless a human being has the faculty
to do that no sort of learning does him
much good.
