call For RepubIIcan Convention.

A call for a republican state con-
vention to be held in Tulsa February
~, Lincoln's birthday anniversary, for
the purpose of ratifying or rejecting
the recent change made in the plan of
representation by the national COM
mittee, in session at Washington, was
issued by the republican state central
committee at meeting here.
While this is what the convention
was primarily called for it being
necessary for the states to approve
or reject the action of the national
committee some time during the year
1914 there are other matters which
will receive attention, including the
selection of a new state central com
mittee and the adoption and enuncia-
ton of the platform on which repub-
lican candidates for state offices will
make their fight in the coming pri-
mary.

TOO MUCH EUGENiCS?
philadelphia Ledger

Eugenia and Eugene are too much
with u.s. No doubt there is great
cloud of ignorance that needs to be
dispelled-and the sane and well-con-
sidered effort of students Of social
problems to dispel it is on no account
to be disparaged. But this is matter
In which fools are prone to rush in
where angels fear to tread; and not
everyone is fit to be teacher.
If the proper study of mankind is
man, there is no subject Of social ex-
cogitation more important than the i'm
provement of the race. But the race Is

1T was announced unoff1cially that
A. II. Conner of Standpoint, member Of
the last legislature, was to succeed
Captain Davis as private secretary to
Governor Haines. The governor has
nothing to say on the subject, but the
impression is out that the position has
been offered to Mr.. Conner. He is an
attorney of Bonner county. He was
candidate for speaker of the last house
but was beaten because he was a
standpatter. He worked hard for the
enactment Of workingmen's compen-

PENNSYLVANIA AND PROTECTION

The pinch Is being felt in the east,
especially in the large manufacturing
states. Shortage of orders is forcing
curtailment Of business. Possibly as
much as any other state is Pennsyl-
vania feeling the effect of declining
business. Pennsylvania Is strong
protection state. OF this there has
never been a doubt But by division
of protectionist forces the state last
year was turned to the party Of free
trade. OF the situation there and the
folly Of republicans remaining divided
over comparatively unimportant mat
tiers writer in the Philadelphia
Ledger says:
"when the census Of 1910 was taken
there were 1858 manufacturing estab-
lishments in this commonwealth with
a capital Of s2.74s, 100000, turning out
yearly manufactured products worth
$2,626,742,000 from raw materials
which cost $l.sS1.5soooo. There are

THE LURE OF THE EPiGRAM.
New York Herald)

Nobody will question the sincerity
of Mr.. Bryan's desire to measure fully
up to the honorable anu responsible
office of secretary of state. AS Mr..
Bryan has good reason to know, the
Heralds attitude toward his policies
has been and is one of cordial support.
We are his friend.
Not in any other spirit, then, does
the Herald raise Its voice in sorrow
against dangerous tendency to con-
duct the affairs Of state by epigram.
Mr. Bryan's long experience must
have taught him that reputable news
papers do not have "exes" to grind
unless they are the axes" Of public
interest No man in public life has IN
the past more strongly urged upon
newspaper writer's in general, and
Washington correspondents in particu-
lar, the necessity Of bringing the white
light of fearless publicity to bear upon
the conduct of governmental affairs
and no man has been more critical of
public officials suspected, rightly Or
wrongly, of Withholding information
from the representatives Of the press.
Either to thoughtlessness or to a
tendency to succumb to the lure Of the
epigram must, therefore, be attributed
Mr. Bryans remark to a correspondent
of the Herald at Washington. Asked
for facts concerning a much discussed
condition Of affairs in Santo Domingo.
Mr.. Bryan's only answer was:
"Your newspaper seems to be more
in bank than in the facts
The insinuation contained in this re
mark was unworthy of Mr.. Bryan.

only 264 kinds Of manufactures listed
in America and 245 Of them are rep
resented In Pennsylvania. More than
100000 of the 100000 inhabitants
of the state are directly engaged in
manufactures and they receive approx
imately $sOO,O0o,OoO a year in wages
and salaries.
These figures do not take into con-
sideration our very extensive agricul-
tural interests; for Pennsylvania, In
spite Of her manufacturing pre-emi-
nence, stands twelfth in the list Of
agricultural states. Our farmers, as
we'll as our manufacturers, are staunch
protectionists. They have always been
protectionists. They were protection
lists even last year. when, for the first
time in geenration. a private quarrel
was permitted to sweep Pennsylvania
out Of the republican column.

ready to go on short rations because

dent and democratic congress in

EARLY HISTORY.
Occur d'Alenc Press)


Occur d'Alene is one of the pioneer
towns Of northern Idaho. The site up
on which it stands was one of the first
spots in the north to be visited by the
trader, the prospector and miner and
the missionary. 1t was upon the site
where Occur dAlene now stands that
Luther DeSmet first met with the In
dams and instructed them in the re-
ligious faith of the Catholic church,
and it was here that in 1912 the first
chapel-a log cabin structure--was
erected for religious worship and it was
here II years afterwards in 1853 that
General Isaac Stevens spent several
weeks while on his transcontinental
expedition. During the generals So
of the surrounding country and held
frequent consultation with the Indian
chiefs. and so impressed was he with
the beauty of the lake. and the gran
deur Of the country that in his report
to congress he made an exhaustive de-
scription of the country as he had OBJ
served 1t during his visit. Following the
visit of General Stevens came that Of
Captain Mullan, the famous military
road builder. The historical road built
from Walla Walla to Fort. Benton was
first constructed along the southern
part of the lake to the Old Mission,
but in the summer Of 1861 a new route
was selected which leads around the
north part Of the lake, and a portion
If this road is now occupied by Sher-
nan street.

NOISY PROGRESSIVE LEADERS.

AS fairly representing the attitude
of those Idaho republicans who sup
ported Roosevelt last election, the fol-
lowing comment from the Standpoint
Review is reproduced:
ITO those professional politicians
who have found in the progressive
party an opportunity for self adver-
Using and being big toads In a little
puddle whatever the republican ma
tional committee would have done
would have been unsatisfactory. They
will continue to refer to the crime of
1912 and shout Barnes and 'Penrose,
in the hope that old battle cries will
attract. But the rank and file Of the
party know that with the convention
machinery given over to republican t.
ers they have no one but themselves to
blame If the results are not to their
own liking The causes which led to
the disruption of the republican party
in 1912 have been removed and with
their removal there Is no reason to ex-
pect that all republicans at heart will
not cleave to the party Of their allie
glance and leave the bull moosers
party of noisy leaders without follow
ing"
Standpoint Is the home Of Guy H.
Martin. the gentleman who suddenly
sprang into the spotlight as a sort Of
last resort candidate for governor Of
Idaho on the progressive ticket. He
seems to have liked the notoriety he
achieved and is now busily engaged in
preparing to run again, which is easy.
seeing that nobody else Is seeking the
nomination he covets. 1t is men Of
the stamp of Mr.. Martin to whom the
Standpoint paper refers as "noisy lead
ers without a following" Unable to
obtain recognition at the hands Of the
republican party, they seized the OPP
portunity offered by the bull moose
organization to gain political promin-
ence and office Now that whatever ex-
cuse may have existed for the organ
ization Of the third party is removed,
they are 10th to abandon a cause that
afforded an opportunity to make
demagogic appeal to the people. Hav-
ing burned the bridges behind them,
their position is aptly described by
the Review as "noisy leaders without
a following" Meantime the rank and
file of the progressives, like the rank
and file of the republican party, see
in the action of the national commit
tee the means Of reuniting the repub-
lican party, and they are lining up ul- !
der the old banner to regain what was
lost in the last campaign and will re-
store the nation to the control of the |
party of progress and prosperity

greatest and richest on earth the peo-
pie choose representatives to fill the
positions Of legislators and executive
officers. The general results from this
representative system have never been
equalled by any other form of govern
ment on earth.
Now. we are told that this system is
all wrong, that men must all be equal
in ability and intelligence and that su-
perior brains must be suppressed. What
else could be the meaning Of submit
ting measures or men to popular ref
erendum vote and a recall which Is In
effect the very essence OF mob rule, the
GROWING curse of humanity wherever
1t appears?
What, also, could be more ridiculous
In the practical results than the pre-
primary picked candidates for the d.
rect nominations by the people or the
Buttinskies who get out nomination
papers and muddle the results?

Will gladden. my heart once more.
