ENDORSED FOR OFFICE.

The Democratic State Committee
meeting on Saturday evening had, as
might have been expected, an unusually
full attendance; forty out of forty-two
members of the committee were pres
ent; so that so far as the committee
is concerned the endorsements for of
flee as mado cannot but be accepted
as fairly representative OF the opinion
Of all the members Of the committee.
But 1T is not easy to believe that this
will be the final word on the real SEN
iment Of the Democratic party of the
State on this question; for the selec-
tions as put forth are too much of one
class. An important division of the
Democratic party in the State is scarce
ly if represented at all, and this i'm
portant lack Of representation tends to
discredit the list as made up. SO that
we do not believe the recommendations
as made will be the final Judgment Of
the party as determined by the real
party leaders in the State
In this we are saying nothing against
should be due proportion and recog-
nition of all the principal elements in
the party. Everything should not go
TO one class. but there should be fair
apportionment.
OF course, The Tribune has nothing TO
say about the Democratic appointments,
and it is not seeking to have anything
to say about them; but when a list or
this kind is made up it is matter for
fair public criticism, and that is the
criticism that we make upon this list.
1t is too one-sided, and it fails to give
proper recognition to portion of the
party which, though not the most num-
erous portion, is the strongest in party
connections and in party training.

times of low water.
This is precisely the line OF argu-
ment that has been presented in The
Tribune many times over, for the coun-
try al large. There is III all Of onr
streams ample opportunity TO put in
storage dams providing SUGGESTIONS OF
reservoirs or lakes that would fill pre-
cisely the office that Mr.. Moore pro
poses for the upper Hudson.

out OF the floods, is certainly dawnlng;
and when that full day has come, the
people of the United States will no
longer dread floods, but will welcome
them as providing resource for the
future that will be of immense value
and of untold practical Importance

THE WASTE OF FRANKING.

When il is proposed to increase the
postal rates on any species of mail
able matter, there is presentation
publicly made 20 the effect that the
class of matter involved does not pay
its way. And since it is clear case
that the department as whole is
generally in deficit, there is more or
less plausibilitv in the claim. How.
ever. it usually happens that when
the matter is fully inquired into, the
real cause of the postal deficit is
traced to the franking privilege en-.
ioyed by members Of Congress and the
executive departments of the govern,
ment The members of Congress are
the greatest offenders. since they send
all sorts OF matter under their franks
which has nothing at all to do with
public business.
Since the invariable result Of all in.
vestigations shows that the real trou,
bic is in the franking privilege. there
has been a proposition 10 allow each
member OF Congress $4,000 year for
mis- postage and printing, That would
amount for all members Of Congress
20 si,064 900. which is n small sum
compared with the average annual de
ficit in the postoffico department. II
the allowance were multiplied by five
and made $4,000 a year for postage
and printing, the total amount would
be s5,320,0 900, and still the postoffice
department would enjoy large saving
compared with the present waste in
volved in the franking privilege.
But on the proposition TO allow the
members of Congress $4,000 year
for postage and printing, the New Or
leans Times Democrat suggests thar
many Congressman would pocket tho
$1,000 and would forego the privilege
Of sending public documents, seeds

but this would be no cause for sorrow

The movement for safe and
sane celebration of the 4th of
Juto has been growing for sew
eral years, and the result is shown
in the reduced number of casual
tiles from fireworks, firecrackers,
etc. In 1909 there were 215 per-
sons killed and 5,O92 wounded in
the United States by the various
agencies employed in making
noise in the day time and display
at night. This number has been
diminished every year until in
1912 there were but 20 persons
killed and $50 wounded by the
same agencies. Of the persons
killed last 18th of July, five met
death from fireworks, one from
cannon, six from firearms used in
salutes, six from gunpowder used
in various ways, and one from
the toy pistol. Those injured
were, by fireworks, 1913; cannon,
AZ; firearms, 81. gunpowder, IS;
torpedoes; 80; bomb canes, 7; toy
pistols, 48. If our dealers will
cut out the handling of fireworks
and firecrackers, they will do
much toward reducing the fire
hazard. and in the end their
profits are liable to be just as
great as though they had had a
big trade in the fire producing
goods. We know of instances
where $4,000 worth of crackers,
rockets, etc., were sold in town
on the 4th of July, and $50, OOO
worth Of property was destroyed
by fire arising from the careless
handling of the explosive goods
before the next morning. Cut
them out.

turned, and will settle down again
in the Nezperce region. The country
where they went did not look as good
as it did last winter when Mr.. Turner
was down there, and he found on going
back and investigating closely that
some of the lands he thought Of in
vesting in, could not be got under
water and would be worthless without
it. Mrs. Turner arrived in Orofino
Sunday evening and is now visiting her

When work on the Gem

When work on the cement
plant ceased three weeks ago, we
stated that work would be re-
sumed in a short time. Our in
formation at that time was cor
rect, and we are pleased to be
able to state at this time, that the
indications now are that the work
will go ahead without interruption
until the plant is up and ready
for operation. It must be a
source of great disappointment to
some of the citizens of Orofino,
who have been declaring for the
last three weeks that it was all
off" with the cement plant, to see
the activity now shown in the
eastern end of town. Don't
knock such a proposition; boost.

That this land Of North Idaho

That this land of North Idaho
is hard to beat, is the testimony
of nearly every person who goes
elsewhere to look for something
better. 1t matters not whether
they 60 to the plains of the Can
adian provinces, or the sun-kissed
lands of the southwest, they all
return with the story that none
of it is as good as Idaho. In no
other part of the United States are
crops as sure as those from our
soil, The farmer plants his crop
with the absolute certainty that
when the harvest comes he will
have returns for his labors. 1t
matters not whether the planting
season comes early or late crop
is as sure as the return of the
harvest time. With the continued
Improvement in methods Of farm
ing the lands of North Idaho, the
profits will be increased, and the
farmer will continue to be what
he has been for many years the
most independent being on earth.

only have to raise the 100000

paying. If your assessment is
100000. you will have to pay
about thirty-five cents more than
you are now paying each year,
in order to contribute your share
of the interest and sinking fund
on the bonds. If you are only
assessed at $4,000 your taxes
will be increased less than 20
cents per year. Begin giving the

The county commissioners hav-
ing determined to submit the
question of issuing bonds for
court house purposes. to the vot-
ers of the county, it behooves us
to consider all the pros and cons
affecting the matter. Do we need
the accommodations asked for?
In the opinion at the editor of the
Republican we do. How much
will it increase taxes? It will not
increase taxes to any great extent.
The assessed valuation of the
county is approximate $12, 100000,
and to pay the bonds off in ten
years will require the meeting of
the following charges,
Interest at 6 per cent,.......$1 10000

Total, ,..-. ..--.........-. 100000
Of course there will be fuel,

Thep Ostman's brow is sad and stern, the postman's eyes with anger burn, he prays with doleful sound; his heart is full of woe
 because he's loaded down like Santa Claus each time he goes his round. What wonder that his spirits sore? He looks like de- partment store that's been placed on legs, with crates of turnips and of cheese, and scythes and forks and humble bees, and pack ages of eggs. To Jones he brings a crocodile, to Mrs. Jones a new spring tile; to Smith a rocking chair; he carries churns and catalogS and groceries and Shepherd dogs--oh, brethren. is
 it fair? Our pGstman, who is
