A BIG MAN FOR A DIG STATE

Now that we are to have a chang
IN administration, new Republican
governor and solid Republican leg
islature one of the most vital mat
ters tor consideration is the election
OF q senator to succeed the lat,
Senator Hepburn.
Several good men have appeared
for the office.
Without detracting In the leas,
from any individual who may have
aspirations for the senatorial toga
could not the honor be conferred on
Hon. James II. Brady with benefit
to Idaho2
Primarily. Governor Brady is doubt
less the best-known man in the west,
His accomplishment along the line
Of promoting the interests OF the en-
tire west, as we'll as OF Idaho, have
made friends for him on every hand.
He Is one Of the few men In the
west who could 80 to congress with
the personal acquaintance OF at
least two-thirds OF that body; con-
seQuently he would be In position
to do good work for Idaho or any
other section Of the great west
He has long been resident of
Idaho, and his interests are every
where. He has been identified to very
great extenA with every movement
Of . public nature. His time and
money have been spent In behalf Of
the state on more than one occasion,
and he knows every nook and Granny
of Idaho as does no other public man
In the state. His organization and
promotion OF the Governors Spe-
cial, !" his election to the presidency
OF the Trans-M Mississippi CONNER
cial congress, and his affiliation with
active movements Of other kinds have
demonstrated his ability as a man OF
Keen and beneficial IDEAS, and he
has been far-seeing In the benefit
that would accrue to the state. He
has been thorough and systematic for
advancement Of all interests, wheth-
" tor the state or for the people in
any given line and has been success
hui in every way.
That his experience and ability
would be productive of the greatest
rood as a co-laborer with senator
sorah In the national assembly can
tut be admitted by everybody. He
9 eminently the man to succeed Hey-
'urn. He has the vigor, force and
character that will do things for Ida

Why SalveS Can't Cure EcZ@l

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur
ing eczema through the blood has been
given up by scientists. many different
salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But It has been found that these salves
only clog the pores and cannot penetrate
e the inner skin below the .epidermis
This-the quality Of penetrating-
probably explains the tremendous sue
cess Of the we'll known liquid eczema
remedy, oil Of wlntergreen, thymol, gly-
cerine.. etc, as compounded in Odd.
Prescription.

We believe that the women of
Delaware should be given the right
to cast the ballot in all elections,
and we can see no valid grounds
for withholding this right from
them. There may be some women
who have not given thought to
civic government, or who have not
closely studied the economic prob
lens Of political affairs; but, how
many rReu who now have the right
to vote, are in this same category !?
There is undoubtedly a small per
centage of dissolute women who
would be empowered to exercise the
right Of ballot franchise, and on the
other hand, there is a far greater
number of dissolute and visciOus
men, who now have the same priv
ilege. Think of the practical women
in our farm homes who are con-
ducting practical affairs Of busi-
ness, and the women of our towns
who are of Importance in financial
affairs, and after consideration who
will dare to state that these are not
more capable than two-thirds of
the men now privileged to vote
Women should be enfranchised on
the grounds of morality and purity
in politics, as we'll as for fairness
and Justice.

That the Democratic party of
Delaware will not favor the plan Of
choosing United States Senators by
a direct vote Of the people, is made
very plain by the Deputy Attorney
General, Josiah Walcott, who in a
speech before a Democratic Club
in Wilmington recently gave his
reasons for opposing this plan;
which has attracted many in both
of the great political parties Mr
WalcOtt very frankly admits that it
is upon partisan grounds alone he
bases his objection, and says that
as between the two parties, his, the
Democratic party, would be in
hopeless minority Under the pres
ent apportionment he believes that
the Democrats have a chance to
get majority In the Legislature,
and so elect a Democratic United
States Senator. Mr.. Walcott is
not far wrong IN his premises ofthe

WE have no doubt that If tht
women Of this State had right tC
cast their ballots, that there woulc
be an overwhelming majority
against the sale of liquor in Della
ware, and for that reason alone
there will always be an eatuest
lobby at Dover working against
the enfrauchisement of women in
this State In the two lower couu-
ties Of Delaware, and in all the
counties of the peninsula which
compose Maryland and Virginia,
there is a clear majority of the men
voters who are against the sale of
liquor as a beverage-but it must
be remembered that it is only ma
iority, and that there is a large mi
uority which believes Just as sin
cerely that The opinion it eutertains
is right, but they bow to the will
of the majority. This is all right,
but there is another little matter
which we have no doubt has caused
every editor, OF publisher of a news
paper on this peninsula to resent
tbe criticisms of those who are zeal
Ous and right-thiukiug along the
lines Of morsl:ty and the best inter
ests OF the general public, and that
is the insertion Of advertisements
for liquor dealers III the newspa !
pers. We have experienced the sit !
uation which IS reported as follows
Editor Bliss. Of the Hillsboro (uI) |
News. recently was called to task because |
he inserted an advertisement for a /
booze palace in that city. Editor
Bliss in tie uext issue Of his paper an. +
swered the critics in the following style |
He SAYS ne confess to the act, but
assigns two reasons therefor First be-
cause he needed the money, and he got
Fifteen ceHts a line for it. Second he
desired to ascertain whether his esteemed
brothers and sisters read his paper Both
mis- curiosity aud cupidity have been sat
is6ed. He had talked Of the evils Of
etemperarce. devoted much space to
the religious and temperance organize
,ions, given the preachers compliment
tary notices, but no intimation had ever
heen given that bis efforts were appre-
oiated or even read. Nov he knows that
they are. and concludes chat while all
classes OF business men are permitted
without criticism to do business with
saloon keeper the country editor isn't
he must be "holy," undefled, separate
from sinners and keep himself unspotted
rom the world
A newspaper is supposed to be
published for the benefit of its
owner, and not as the exponent of
any faction. party, sect, or in the
interest Of any particular business,
and as there is a large minority of
the public to be served as we'll as
the great majority. it is not good
business on the part of any news
PAPER to refuse an advertisement
tor liquor dealers, any more than
it would be to refuse advertisements
from dealers on tobacco, or other
! oisons. When the laws are made
s that it is illegal for liquor to be
|. hipped into states or counties
where local option prevails. then the
newspapers will certainly refuse to
admit advertising ofthat class into !
its columns. The Illinois editor
mas held the glass up to its critics, c
and it should cause others to think
ong the lines Of fairness. lc
