REGISTRATION LAW SHOULD BE
CHANGED.

To require voter to register once
in two years is no hadrship and ex-
perienee has shown that 1t is in the
interest of honest and fair elections.
Also the registration books should be
kept open until the Saturday preced-
ing the election, and no one who was
not then registered should be permit
ted to vote. That is, there should be
no registering or swearing in of votes
by the judges of election. The Miner
Is inclined to believe that large num-
Der of Illegal votes were cast in this
the authority given judges of election
for registering voters on election day
was the opening by which these votes
were admitted. The fact that many
more votes were cast in Shoshone
county this year than there were two
years ago can be accounted for in no
other way than that Illegal votes were
cast The new law which makes reg
istrars of notaries and justices of the
peace is also poor law. The old law
requiring duly qualified registrars was
far better than the present system.
They should be restored, and the law
should go further and require them
to question applicants for registration
on all essential points as to their
qualifications as voters, and particu
larly requiring foreign-born citizens
to produce their naturalization papers
The present registration law as a
whole is loose and ineffective and its
revision and amendment should re-
ceive the attention of the coming leg
stature.

state. When this great government
enterprise at Cello Is completed 1t
Will be possible to take steamer at
Lewiston and follow the meandering
course of the Snake and Columbia
rivers to Astoria and there transfer to
a palatial ocean steamer which will
land one at the Golden Gate within
twenty four hours. One could hardly
plan a trip of more varied interest
and it will not be surprising If the
fare will be just a little lower than
the lowest. 1t is probable that a great
number will select this route, and 1t
is understood that river steamers will
be specially equipped to accommodate
this travel
When this water way Is in operation
we expect to see Lewiston grow into
great commercial center, with rail-
road connections with central and
northern Idaho which will give those
sections the benefit of water competi-
ton to the coast, and enable them to
share in the benefits that will soon be
showered upon Lewiston incidentally
if Lewiston, with her great natural
advantages, should eventually grow in
commercial strength and importance
until she can attract and hold the
toward the upbuilding of cities across
the state line, that, too, win be con-
summation devoutly to be wished by
all loyal IdahoanI.

ranks of the democratic party will
count for nothing with Mr.. Alexander.
He wants economy first and efficiency
second, and the answer to two ques-
tions involving these two essential
elements Of his administration will
settle the fate of every applicant. The
first question the governor viii pro-
pound. and evidently the one to which
he attaches the most Importance, is
for a definite statement as to how the
applicant If appointed would reduce
the expenses of the Office. This will
be followed by a double barrel ques-
ton In which the applicant will be
asked to explain how he will increase
the efficiency of the office he seeks
with fewer clerks or deputies than are
now employed This Is all, and it Is
understood that any applicant who is
unable to show in plausible way how
he can accomplish the results to
which the governor ELECT is pledged
will receive no consideration.
Having charged the republicans
with extravaganza and inefficiency so
many times during his campaign that
1t is possible that he believes 1t, Mr..
Alexander is now confronted with the
necessity of finding appolntees who
share his belief and who will vindi-
cate his campaign assertion by deeds.
1T will not be difficult to find plenty of
democrats wno will undertake the
task, and 1t is probable that there
will be reductions in expenses, but
before the new administration is far
advanced it may be discovered that
the standard of efficiency has been
lowered rather than raised

a hundred years.
A-leavin' of its trail all sloshed with
thirsty sufferers tears,
An every day respondent sports are
biddin' us goodbye
To seek a damper climate since the
stricken Gap went dry.
It'd break heart O. adamant to walk
the streets an see
The wet life-savin' stations under le-
gal lock and key,
An mourners wanderin' here and there
with not sup o. booze
To soothe the painful burnin' o. their
overheated flues
The dance halls silent as a tomb, the
DANES that ust to sail
Around the well-worn floor with us
have hit the outward trail,
An that slIck-strped tiger that we
bucked in days gone by

But none of 'em could hit the spot red

There amt no port O. refuge cast or

To which us sufferers kin flee from

No damp locality to which us thirsty

Fur every town inside the state has

An we will always cuss the day they

The national administration will of
course prevent if possible favorable
action on Congressman Gardeners
resolution authorizing the appoint
ment Of commission to Investigate
and report on the preparedness of the
United States for war. However, the
president is not in position to force
congressional action to conform to his
ideas as easily as he was before the
election. He has heard from the peo-
pie and the people want to know the
very things called for in Mr., Gard
ner's resolution If our army and navy
are so far inadequate that we would
fall an easy victim to any first class
power that should turn its guns upon
us, the people want to know 1t and

curity and to the integrity Of the

OREGON PRoeREssIvEs.

A dispatch from Salem, Ore, says
that as a result of the small vote cast
by it at the last election, the pro-
gressive party has lost its legal iden-
tity in Oregon. The law requires that
party must cast per cent of the
vote given to congressional candidates
in order to retain it's identity. The
one progressive congressional candi-
date in Oregon received 1921 votes,
whereas 1879 votes were necessary,
To get on the ballot again the party
will have to do so by petition or con-
vention.

ITS A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY

Up to mighty London came an Irish
man one day;
AS the streets were paved with gold

Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand
and Leicester Square.
Till Paddy got excited, then he shouted
to them there:
CHORUS:
TITS a long way to Tipperary, it's q
long way to go;
It's long way to Tipperary, to the
sweetest girl I know!
Good-by Piccadilly. Farewell, Lei
cester Square,
It's long, long way to Tipperary
but my hearts right there"
Paddy wrote letter to his Irish Mol
ly O..
Saying, SHOULD We not receive It,
write and let me know.
If I make mistakes in spelling, Molly
dear" said he,
Remember it's the pen that's bad.

Molly wrote neat reply to Irish Pad
dy, o.,
Saying, Mike Maloney wants to mar
ry me. and so

you'll be to blame,
For love has fairly drove me silly.
