and thirst for vengeance bitter as

was able to trace dimly his out
lines now as he rose on an eminence
in my rear, his horse looming dark
against the sky, like those giant
seeds that snorted fire in my childs
-icture-Dooks at home, and then, with
increasingly louder thunder of hoof-
beats, he came charging straight down
toward me- In sheer desperation
glanced on either side, seeking some
avenue of escape, but the high banks
were unscalable; my sole remaining
hope lay in a shot which should drop
that craZed brute before he struck
and crushed me- Riding my best,
with all the practised skill of the
service, I swung my body sideways,
b:acing myself firmly in the deep sad
die, and took steady aim. The ham
mer came down with a dull, dead
click, the revolver was chargless, and
with an exclamation of baffled rage
l hurled the useless weapon full at
the advancing brute. Almost at the
instant we struck, my horse went
down with the impetus, while over
Us both as if shot from a cannon,
plunged our pursuer, his horse turn
ing a complete somersault, the rider
falling so close that l was upon him
almost as soon as he struck the
ground.
A dip of the flying hoof had cut a
shallow cash across my forehead, and
my hair was wet with blood, yet

TWO GOOD ONES.

In the coming campaign Idaho will
elect two congressman. Burton l..
French has been renominated to sue
coed himself and Addison r. Smith
has been nominated by the republi-
cans as his running mate Mr.. Smiths
greatest endorsement is the vote he
received in Twin Falls county. the
foremost progressive county in the
state of Idaho. In that county he
received vote of two to one over
his nearest competitor and he was
the only candidate for congress in
the recent primary election to carry
his home town over Burton l.. French.
He was nominated overwhelmingly by
the people of those counties which
will after the next session of the leg
islature be within his district. This
fact should have more weight with
the people of north Idaho than col
umns of newspaper talk. Spirit Lake

EiseWhere appears an editorial tax
en- from the Lewiston Daily Tribune
(Dem) which deals with Senator Bor-
abs service to his state and the pub
lie, the loss the state would suffer
should he not be returned to the ma
tional congress, and the possibilities
OF his defeat. 1t says: "The state
has had a great asset and a tower of
strength i'm Senator Borah in the ma
tional counsels. His removal from
the sphere where he has been so use
fun and so distinguished would be a
distinct loss. Mr. Borah's record In
its entirety measures UP to the best
OF them for one term of service. He
mas given the state the best there
was In him, he has won his honors
IN the open field by his own personal
merit, he has brought honor upon him
self and upon his constituency, and
he has done nothing to require his
forfeiture of the confidence and sup
port OF the people of the state"
~ AAN1S shV PSOplC VI Tue sStdtG KNOW
all this to be true, 1t certainly is
commendable i'm the Tribune. which
lis democratic paper, to come out
at this time and speak such words
OF praise for one of the opposite
political faith, be he ever SO worthy.
1t Is more than some OF the "repub-
lican" papers of the state are doing.
The Tribune speaks of two ways In
which Mr.. Borah's defeat may be
brought about and the people jockey
ed out of his able services, and
these the voters should see are not
brought about. One is the election
of democratic legislature, and the
other Is local factional fights, county
division alignments, party rupture,
and demand for party regularity"
The people have signified their desire
to re-elect Senator Borah, and If they
are cheated out of this wish, some
one will have to account for it later

sMlrH EMlNENrLY QUALIFIED.

Hon. j. M. Shoup, of Boise. former
United States marshal OF Alaska. in
commenting upon the candidacy OF
Addison T. Smith for representative
in congress on the republican ticket,
said:
81 have known Addison T. Smith
intimately for fifteen years, and
have been with him great deal In
Washington during sessions OF con-
gress while he was secretary to SEN
ators Shoup and Hepburn. ! have
called with him at the white house on
Presidents Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft, to all of whom he was well
known. and also on various cabinet
officers and the heads OF bureaus.
He is one of the best posted men in
the country in regard to national af-
fairs, and his wide acquaintance with
senators and representatives, as well
as with legislative procedure and de-
partmental methods peculiarly qualify
him to represent the people. He rs
an upright, honorable and courteous
gentleman, and one of the most indus
trious officials l have ever known.
Because he is so eminently qualified
to represent Idaho in congress | urg-
ed him to become a candidate for the
nomination and supported him in the
primaries. In my opinion he can do
more for the state and country dur
ing his first term than stranger
in Washington could accomplish aft
err several years Of service, no mat
ter how well qualified for the place.
l know his views in regard to nation
al politics and although / am strong
supporter of Colonel Roosevelt, |
have no hesitation in supporting him
for congress; being fully convinced
that the people of Idaho will find
that no mistake has been made in the
wisdom of their choice, after he has
had the opportunity of demonstrate
ing what he can accomplish as their
The state is fortunate
In having a candidate for congress
so well equipped for this important
office"

NINE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENTS TO VOTE ON.

There will be nine proposed con
stitutional amendments for the cleo
tors of Idaho to vote upon at this
falls election. the text of which will
be published in the Globe next week,
having just been sent out from the
secretary of states office for publica-
ton In all of the counties.
The matter of the merits or demer.
Its OF the amendments are not dis
cussed In the form to be published,

the Introductory heading, as provided
by law, Is the only information Of
tered to the voter. who Is left to
reach his own conclusions as to the
desirability of the new enactments.
The first Of the nine amendments.
which Is No. 10. makes provision for
a senator in each county of the state,
while under the present constitution

are compelled to do with joint SEN
ator for two counties.
The Initiative, the referendum and
the recall. excepting the judiciary.
are provided for under three separate
amendments.
the removal of the present restric-
tons upon convict labor, which is
now confined to employment within
the prison, or to public state work.
Is proposed in the fifth amendment.
The establishment of a state hoard
OF education, to have charge of the
entire public school system and of
the higher educational institutions of
the state. is proposed in the sixth
amendment; while the seventh and
eighth deal with the proposition
OF making the county treasurer ex-
officio tax collector, and authorizing
both offices to employ clerical assis.
lance under direction Of the county
commissioners.
The last OF the nine amendments
proposes to limit the state to a bond.
ed Indebtedness of $4,000, 900. exclu.
sive OF the amount granted for the
capitol building and the bond issues
authorized by the last legislature
While possibly desirable in some re-
spects, such an amendment might
prevent the state from entering upom
an era OF good roads construction for
which bonds would have to be issued
These questions will no doubt be
pretty thoroughly discussed in the
press OF the state and by the public
speakers within the next few weeks
and the public will thus be given an
opportunity to better judge the de.

the proposed amendments.

was not through love for the west
side town and people, but through
love for the almighty dollar, the
very fear of losing which, agonizes
his soul Now he comes out and
slaps In the face the Sun and the
White Bird people, who stood so
firmly and steadfastly in defense of
the integrity of odd Idaho county, and
at the same time like the foul bird
besmirches his own home nest by
making untrue and slanderous charge
agaist citizens of Grangeville.
The Globe wished to say right now
that 1t has nothing personal against
the citizens of Cottonwood. and in
stead of doing them and their COM
munity an intentional injury 1t would
do them any good turn
that 1t might be able to, and 1t be-
iieves the same is true of almost
this entire community, but 1t stands
with Its home people opposed to the
division of Idaho county and can
never be JUSTLY charged with betray-
ing what it believes to be the coun.
TVS interests and that of its home
town for the purpose of making
friends elsewhere, as desirable as
friends and prosperity are; for
friendship won on such terms is not
lasting, for 1t is not based on conf
dence and respect.

A GRAND STAND PLAY.

Governor James H. Hawley during
TIE campaign two years ago stated:
Il assure you that In my Judgment as
lawyer, that every member Of the
state land board who acquired land
under the Carey act system, every
attache of the board who has been
interested in these deals, has been
guilty not of misdemeanor, but OF
a felony under the laws of this state. .
Il propose, my fellow citizens, with
all my ability to inquire into all those
charges which have been made, dur
ing the last six months, with refer
ence to the management of the af
fairs of this state, to investigate
whether those charges are true or un-
true. l propose to be governor of
Idaho in fact as well as in name. If
crimes have been committed, / care
not how high the position may be Of
the man who has engaged in them, |
will see that he lis prosecuted for
those offenses, the same as would be
II ne were the lowest citizen of the
land"
For two years Hawley has been
governor. A few minutes investiga-
tion would reveal that John Guheen,
robert Lansdon, S. Belle Chamber
lain, as members Of the state board,
and a score of attaches, acquired land
IN Idaho under the Carey act.
1t would appear that Governor Haw-
ley Is either strong for buncombe or
weak In action.-Spirit Lake Herald.

II 1t came down to q question of
the wishes of the people, no honest,
rational person could be. found in
the state OF Idaho who would for q
moment deny but that Senator Borah
would be returned as Idaho's national
representative. But there is where
the trouble comes In, the people are
not going to be given q chance at
this election to vote directly for Mr..
Borah. but they will have to depend
upon the members of the state legis-
lature to give them what they want.
And here is where politics steps in
and undertakes to cheat the people
out of the service of their most able
representative. The democratic breth.
rem have been bowling long and lusti-
ly Let the people rule" 1--WE stand
for the direct primary in the interest
of the people" "The people cannot
rule until they be given the right to
vote directly for United States sena
tors" Yet, in the state of Idaho.
with all their shouting and blovating
around as the redeemers of the en-
shaved populace, 1t is found that they
are the very ones to nulify the pur-
pose Of the primary law and TO at
tempt to defeat the people in their
wish to re-elect Senator Borah. They
know they could not defeat him on
a direct vote OF the people, and yet
while loudly proclaiming their belief.
In and loyalty to such measure, thes1
are at this time using every influenced
and power available to defeat the
spirit and purpose of that law. Thell
people should rebuke such question

dates for the legislature who are
pledged to support Senator Borah.
Hiram Sweet for state senator; Abe
L. Harchelrode and Floyd Church for
representatives in Idaho county. three
as good men as the county affords,
are the men who are committed to
the candidacy of Senator Borah, the
others are pledged to support theil
party candidate, no matter how
friendly they may feel toward MIR. Bo
ali. or how highly they may esteem
him as national legislator. So, do
not allow the statement of candi- |
date or his supporters. to the effect
that their candidate is "as friendly to
Mr.. Borah as any republican in Ida
no county" to influence your vote.
Just bear in mind that the democratic
legislative candidates are pledged to
support democrat and that they can
not support Mr.. Borah without violat.
ing this pledge. and you will not go
far wrong.
A vote for Sweet, Church and Har-

way vote against Borah
