Republican Senators And Leaders
To Confer In Chicago.

Chicago, May 10.-United States
Senator'S and Republican leaders
from various parts of the country
began to arrive here today with the
avowed purpose of promoting a
movement for a Republican national
convention this year to reorganize
The party upon progressive lines.
The purpose Of the convention, las
described by Senator Albert BCum-
minis. of Iowa, would be to change
conditions in the party so as to
prevent a recurrence of what hap
pened at the last Republican Ma
ticnal Convention"
Besides Senator Cummins, those
who arrived today were Senators c..
l. Crawford, of South Dakota; Will
lam s. Kenyon, of Iowa, and Law
renee Y. Sherman, of Illinois. Sena-
tors William E. Borah, Of Idaho.
AISLE j. Gronna, of North Dakota, land
John P. Works, of California, Sena-
tor Cummins said, are expected to
arrive tomorrow, together with for
mer Governor Hadley, of Missouri:
There probably will be represen-
natives here from Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin and
most of the Middle West States"
said Senator Cummins. "Our pur-
pose is to talk over the situation in
formally until Monday, then have a
meeting and get through by noon.
We are simply Republicans, who
want to get the party back on
solid basis along progressive lines.
1.-THE Republican National Com
mittee will meet in Washington on
May "a. We hope before that
time to discuss thoroughly and be.
able to present to the committee the
necessity for a national convention.
Among the things it is proposed to
accomplish are:
"To change the basis of repre-
sentation according to Republican
strength, and not according to the
accident of the representations of
States in Congress.
"To take out that rule which. Jig
nores or repudiates primaries.
"To modify any other custom of
the party which might interfere
with the modern, progressive spirit
in the Republican ranks"
No attempt would be made to
emalgamate the Republican and.
the Progressive parties, said the
Senator, adding, "but it will be like
the Lords Supper-all who believe
may participate"

THE STORM AT NOME.

The story of the great storm at Nome, publish
ed in this issue, should be of interest to the survV'
mo % men who went to Nome from this locality IN
the spring of 1900 and know something at hrst
hand of the terrific gale that swept the Nome coast
at the time of the September Equinox OF that year.
The storm of last Sunday seems to have been
renetton of the other and left conditions the same
except that in the former instance there were about
as manv destitute men in Nome before the storm
as there were inhabitants in the town this year when
the storm began. Some of the vessels in the road
stead put to sea and saved themselves, while others
dropped their anchors and were gradually pounded
to pieces The Skookum with heavy cargo, and
thirteen anchors blowing the ocean bed was driven
mon the beach and reduced to scraps A sailing
vessel rode on the crest of great wave and was
deposited in front of hotel where people could
stem across from the deck of the vessel to the YER
anda of the hotel After the storm was over the
writer went out along the beach and counted 20 YES
sells large and small, stranded within sight OF the
civ The steamer Aberdeen of Port Angeles
stood high and dry on her keel pointing for the
north pole. The Catherine Sutton reported to
have been crushed in the ice to the southwark at
midnight on the 18th of June and her passengers
shvering on the iceAoe until picked up by other
vessels, was lying at the mouth of Snake river with
a great hole stove in her bows.
When the news of the disaster reached Washing
ton the war department dispatched the Transport
Rosecrans from St. Michael to bring out load OF

man asked the writer for SIS to pay his steamer
fare to Seattle, and when we suggested that ne en-
bark On the Rosecrans, he said he did not want to
accept charity from the government, and would re-
nav the loan as soon as he reached Idaho. We
weighed out five ounces of gold dust and nuggets
for him, and took his note for the money. 1--we
weeks later we stood on the wharf at Seattle when
the Rosecrans discharged its passengers, and this

own opinions in the matter they will have long
time to upbrad themselves for voting somebody's
else
1t will be interesting to see how the board dis
poses of the question as to the election. We know
know that its members not all in harmony with
the present dry conditions, and if delegations ap-
pear before the board to apply pressure, they may
not be alone in their arguments. But we can assure
our fellow W. c. T. Us. and the White Ribboners
and the legions of Idaho Dry in 1918" that they
will have but one argument which they can with
entire fairness lay before the board, and that will
be to oppose the election account of the expense
Any other objection which they can put forth
against re-submittng the question, will be an ad-
mission that they fear the results at the polls, and
that will probably appeal to the board as being
good reason why it should again be submitted.
If the election is called it will result in agitation
of the old subject with lot of figures and condl-
tons presented to the voters concerning what has
been and is now in Bingham county since it went
dry. The rival parties will not have to go to bleed
ing Kansas and to conditions in Kansas City to see
whether it has brought good times and happy
homes or hard times and panicky conditions They
will have the evidence in every street and lane and
business house, and "full dinner pals coming out
of the homes of the working men; they can reac
the results in the groups of happy children going to
and from school and in the well-dressed families
of former drunkards. They can read it in the
clean Streets paved without the use of blood money
and always free from fights and brawls that were
once the dread of women and the menace of chill
dren going and coming along the business blocks
They can read it in the schools, conducted without
the use of saloon license money but paid for
by direct taxes and the taxes no higher than in
ties that are still wet.
But why go into details-the board will prob
ably call the election, and then we shall not hear
much else for three months This paper will
stand where it always Stood on the side of the drys;
not because the editor thinks the drys any bet
ter people than the VETS for they are not and we
can prove it, But because the drys with all their
fool notions, fckleness and crookedness thrown in
with their virtues happen to be as we think, near
er,rght in this matter than the vets.

GOODWIN'S TRIBUTE TO IDAHO

Judge Goodwin of Salt Lake publishes the fol-
lowing in that excellent weekly of his:
Our neighbors in Idaho are dsputing with Utah
as to the measure of progress. And they have a
reason for it, for Idaho is swiftly becoming one
great garden Her claim is that she has more ag-
ricutural land and moe water to lrrgate land with
than any other state in the great basin, and that she
is putting that land under cultivation faster than
any other state And she is right. And what she
produces is perfect. 1t is true that in very few
years she will have more land under tllage than
either the great state of New York or Pennsylvania
she will raise more and better fruit than any east
ern state, and her mines will supply enough gold
and silver to keep perfectly reinforced her currency
She will sell her products at home for home money,
in that way her crops will be converted into imper
ishable treasure.
She is keeping her schools at the height of effci-
ency, her climate makes the state great sanitarium
which nsures healthy race of men and women and
children as bless the earth. And they are clear
braned level-headed patriotic set of people Why
should not Idaho hail the future joyously and with
exultant hearts turn from the trumphs of the past
to the expected trumphs of the future.

THE, LOCAL OPTION ELECTION.

Next week the commissioners of this county will
be asked to call an election to vote again upon the
liquor question, to determine the willingness or I'M
willingness of the electorate, to return to the re-
gime of the licensed saloon.
When the so-called local option measure was en-
acted it provided that elections shall not be held to
vote upon this question oftener than once IN two
wears. 1t is the exercise of the much-talked OF
principle of the recall of decisions, except that it
applies to the decision of the people instead OF
decision of the judiciary. 1t is the highest, purest
and safest form or re-submlsson OF a question to
tribunal that could be devised 1t has not the re-
hottest objection in it that is launched against the
submission of question that has been passed upon
bv court and then submitted to the people. The
strongest objection raised against such condition
is that it DESTROYS the independence of judges, and
compels them to be supine and oblgng with the
wishes of the ma jorty from time to time or lose
their standing and their Office. In other words it
keeps them so busy studying the public pulse that
they cannot and dare not interpret the law correctly
In the case before this county it is different. The
people have studied great question and passed up
on it, with the result that the saloon was banlshed
by large majority. The friends of the saloon
submitted and said that after the experiment had
been we'll tested it could bel re-submtted and the
majority would be large one the other way Now
they want to test that prediction after four years
trial, and it is only fair that they should be heard
and the opinions of the people again recorded at
the polls If the so-called radicals have launched
great mistake by banishing the saloon, it is time
those possessed of greater wisdom shall be per-
mtted to direct affairs, and the sovereign people
are to be the judges if the commissioners consent to
call an election.
When the people pass upon the question standing
nv itself on ballot, no man can rise up and say
the ''judges' in the case were influenced by poll
tics or religion or coercion or expediency or the
taxpaver or the non-taxpayer or the voice of the
rabble for all adult men and women residents will
constitute the Judges. If they do not vote their

Collins. Baker and Bender Star
1t has been said taht every world
series develops a hero and the Ath-
letics lost no time in seeking the laur-
els in that direction. Eddie Collins
played a remarkable game at second
base, making four put-outs and six
assists without a semblance of an
error. He also figured with Barry
and McInnis in the lone double play
of the seventh inning and caused Nc
Graw to jump up and down with rage
and disappointment.
Collins, however, had no monopoly
on the hero's glory for John Frank,
lin Baker and Chief Bender did yeo-
man work that entitled them to
recognition. Baker made history re.
peat itself when he drove a homerun
hit into the grandstand back of right
field, scoring Collins from second
ahead of him. The situation and hits
were much the same as in the second
game of the 1911 series when Baker
lifted the ball over the fence on a
Marquard Offering and paved the way
for an Athletic victory.

THE PARDON OF ORCHARD.

The efforts being put forth by an eastern church
organization to secure pardon for Harry Orchard
are entirely misdirected. They undoubtedly arise
from good intentions, in the full belief that Harry
Orchard has made all earthly retibution that he
can for his many crimes. Even though he has,
pardon from the pententiary is in no wise justi6-
able The state is keeping Orchard in the penl-
tertiary not so much to punish him as to protect So
ciety. Hanging would have been small punish
ment in the first place. Since the sentence of death
was committed to life Imprisonment the state owes
it to society in general that he be kept where he can
commit no more crimes.-Ex.

the stands was crowded to its ut
most capacity.
The spectators were noticeably fair
in their treatment of the players Of
the two clubs, applauding every good
play regardless of whether made by
Athletic or Giant. Naturally, they
rooted hardest for an Athletic VIC
