THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.

Judge James +. Ailshie last week
announced that he would be a can
didate for the republican nomina-
ton to the United States senate,
being the fourth candidate to declare
himself in the republican camp. Now
that Ailshie has entered the ace the
republicans should again take heart.
From every angle Judge Ailshie
seems to be the only man In the two
parties who can hold the north
Idaho vote. Congressman French's
announcement made a month ago is
still being handed around by the
newspapers OF the state as the big
gest joke of the year. AS to the
two south Idaho republicans, the SEN
timent in the northern end of the
state is pretty we'll expressed by the
Kooskia Mountaineer. eff it's going
to be south Idaho man, let's have
q democrat for a change"
In the democratic party the only
candidates mentioned for the senate
are south Idaho men.
The north end of the state, de
prived of senator for two years,
win vote for a senator largely from a
sectional point of view, while in the
south the party issues will prevail.
If the republicans can nominate All
SHE from their quarto of aspirants,
he will hold his own in the south and
carry the north by big majority.
Otherwise 1t looks like the democrat
ic harmony would elect the senator
Vollmer Statesman.

Tered him the easiest way out. But
before we proceed to settle the d.
vorce question with any degree Of
tinality we must first dispose Of the
marriage proposition. There b
growing sentiment that It would be
better for society II marriage were
made more difficult and divorce easy.
Under existing laws any pair of fools
afflicted with temporary insanity can
HE themselves to the parson and be
wed. Love at first sight and a desire
TO do something out of the ordinary
has changed the course of many liv-
60 and started tender feet on thOrny
paths. Most divorces are the result
of mdsmating. In nine cases out OF
ten the cause of the trouble existed
before the wedding. 1t often happens,
love being blind, that 1t is not dis
covered until the marriage certificate
is neatly framed on the parlor wall,
but therein lies one of the defects
that should be corrected. Without any
desire to rob youthful mating of its
sweet romances, way should be
found to take the binders off of love
long enough to let the contracting
parties see each other through nor
NAL eyes. If Mary rs made to realize
that John, is a natural born night
hawk and II John is made aware of
the fact that Mary's disposition in
his presence Is not the same one she
uses on the folks at home--if these
young people can be given a sane
glimpse into each others Hves-then
should they marry. they should be
compelled to fight it to q finish If 1t
takes q century. But until such time
as there are some restrictions placed
on marriage with a fair understanding
between the contracting parties that
matrimony Is largely q give and take
proposition, It will be pretty hard to
figure out q working divorce law for
general application.

WILSON TRYING TO BAck-PEDAL

1t develops that despite the fact
that the Baltimore democratic plat
form contained q tolls exemption
pledge, that Woodrow, saint of the
Jeffersonian hosts, Is doing his ut
most to repudiate that platform, and
to instill belief that platforms were
made but to break.
In face Of the democratic pledge
be Is exerting all his energies to kill
the clause that would exempt Ameri-
can coastwise vessels from Panama
tolls, and thereby toady TO English
powers. And he has further eau
toned that democrats must avoid
writing any such thing into future
platforms, as he regards it unsafe.
In other words, he is ready to take
q stab at the existing obligation of
the party, but would pussy-foot on
he basis of asking the partyites to
avoid placing any other undesirable
stones in his path, as he is running
the party and does not like to be
annoyed with the inconsequential
Ideas of the hoi polloi or the rabble
Being minority president he has
the advantage of popping his leash
and watching the faithful cringe.-

THE SUPREME JupcEsHlp.

The announcement of Justice ALL
SHE for the senate was no surprise
to the Signal, and our position in the
matter Is too we'll known for elabor-
alton at this time, but his announce
ment raises another question which Is
of utmost importance. 1t will be no
Iced that the judge has signified his
intention to resign before the primar-
les, and the question of his success
sor must now come up for considera-
ton.
1t is not the Signals intention to
discuss candidates In this article, but
fearing some pressure may be brought
to bear on the judge to get him to
step aside in order that some man
may be appointed long enough ahead
of the primaries to give him an ad-
vantage over others who might aspire
10 the position. we will venture the
suggestion that the field be kept clear
until the day of the primaries and
that the people be given an oppor-
tunity to pass upon the merits of the
candidates with equal show to all. If
the political dopesters around Boise
know what they are talking about
Judge Ailshie's resignation should not
be rendered until the last minute be-
tore the primary election. The judge
can do the Republicans of the state
a great service by serving long
enough to prevent any fixing" in
advance Of the time for the voters to
choose the man they want.-Weiser

Senator Hedrick of Blaine county
has concluded that he will not run
for congress to succeed Mr.. French
when the latter retires to private
life next fall Just as well. He Is
getting the blue pencil now about as
actively as he welded the shears on
the press last session. Tri-
bune.
Senator Hedrick did bear down
pretty heavy on the newspapers at
the last legislative session-but there
were others who fully equalled him.
OF course they wanted to make a
showing of economy somewhere, and
about all the visible marks made, SO
far as we recall, were those left on
the country editors, who have done
more, man to man, to build up the
state than any bunch OF legislators
ever assembled In Boise, and have
received less pay and fewer thanks
for 1t. However, Hedrick greatly re-
deemed himself for past offences, by
the graceful manner in which he &C
cepted the criticisms of the Blackfoot
Republican when 1t was first rumored
that he would come out for congress-
He said he fully recognized the truth
of the Republicans remarks and his
own shortcomings and only asked
space to say that he was not a candi-
date. Couldn't beat it in a thousand
years.

UNITED STATES sENAToRsHIP.

The Carey Act Farmer, In discuss
ing the senatorial situation, pays its
respects to Congressman French in
the following manner:
IF there was ever q lucky office
holder In the state, 1t has been this
same French. Without more than
ordinary ability, never committing him
self on any subject, faithfully distri-
buting his free seeds, and writing
franked letters by the hundred, he
has been able to hold on by virtue Of
his record" which as far as can be
discerned by the naked eye from this
distance is about zero.
"Limpy. dishrag politics. have from
time immemorial been the policy of
those who felt that they were not
able to cope with the situations that
come up, where there has to be
tight. Better get along without trou-
BILE and be reelected, than to fight
for what is best for the state Is the
policy of Congressman French. This
may be alright for Burton but what
about the state? Our affairs need
strong men In the national legislature
men that are not afraid to fight when
a fight is necessary.
AS he never opposed anything that
the bosses proposed there has been
no particular objection to him from
hat quarter, and as he is perfectly
harmless in congress, the people have
been content to let him continue be-
cause Burton is a good boy" But
now that he Is striking for a mans
Job they will be apt to say chat
good little boys should be seen and
not heard"
Our advice to Burton would be to
stick to his little red wagon and not
tackle an automobile. They are mucn
harder to handle, and takes a mans
brain, and mans muscle to handle
them, and further Burton 1t takes a
mans back bone to crank the blamed
hing so that 1t will start.
"The joker in French's candidacy
is that he may defeat man that
could do the state some good"

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

The Globe II pleased to note that
Congressman Addison T. Smith Is
getting In effective work In favor of
the rural --aaaM carriers and star
route contractors who have been
made to suffer such gross injustice
at the hands of tine postoffice depart
ment on account Of neglect or fail
ure to make provisions for compensat-
ing them for the doubling and treb-
ling OF their work and responsibility
les since the Inauguration and extern
sion of the parcel post system. A
majority Of the star route carriers
are being bankrupt and all are losing
money since the use of the parcel
post has become so extensive. To the
appeals made by the commercial bod
les and citizens Of the various COM
munities for the prompt relief of the
over burdened carriers, the answer
comes from the department, They
will be relieved In time; but 1t TAX
os time to get to It." In the meantime
the carriers are suffering irreparable
financial loss and the depletion of
their entire transportation system by
the many times multiplied weight of
the mail freight" which has been
forced upon them under a contract
which made no provision for such
conditions as have arisen under the
inauguration of the parcel post sys-
tenn. They and their bondsmen are
held to meet these new demands re-
gardless of the justice in the case,
the additional expense required to
DO SO, or the financial ability of the
cont actor to provide the additional
teams to transport the stamped
freight through miles of mountains
and snow drifts to it's destination.
At many of the distributing points
n this section tons of parcel post
matter have accumulated, and extra
freight teams have been hired by
the contractors to haul out the sacks
of mail" matter. Recently one of
the mountain contractors was fined
Tor being late with the mail, after he
had floundered for hours through I'm
mense snow drifts to reach his desti-
nation. A passenger who had a ko-
dak took several pictures of the
horses where they were down in the
deep snow under the tongue of the
sled flat ON their backs with their
feet In the air. But such realistic
presentation of the difficulties under
which the mails are delivered In this
mountainous country effects nothing
with the "high collars" at Washing
ton, who, basking In the warmth of
an over-heated government furnace
would look upon a "snow scene" of
that character at long range and pro-
nounce 1t "a lark, don'cher knaw,"
never for a moment seeing the in
humanity in the case or the
financial tragedy involved - and
the fine had to be paid. We
are also pleased to see that Mr..
Smith had Incorporated in the Con
gressional Record some of the Globes
structures on the postoffice depart
ment, and it's brief but fervent petit
ton: Lord help the mail carriers,
for the government isn't doing much
of it." We hope 1t may do them
some good. We notice where c. p.
Culley, of Joseph threw up his con-
tract last week when called upon to

bird end to the Joseph office. We
commend him for his courage.

In this rather obscure figure,
Jesus likens the lamp to the eye:
body is also full of light, but when
it is evil, thy body is also full of
darkness" This evidently refers to
the way one looks out on life, to the
character of His purpose. Some per-
sons observe the world with a vision
that is all darkness; as, for illus
tration, those evil-seeing idlers who
stand on street corners ogling wom-
en-. Or, to come closer home, we
are startled occasionally by realiz-
ing the possibilities of evil in our
selves. We need the presence of
Christ in our heart to keep pure and
sincere and single our purpose.

rid of evil is to crowd in the good.
Half our present social problems are
due to the increasing leisure of wom-

one soul-physician confronting sin
laden lives. Another declares. Moth
ing is ever displaced until it is re-
darkness out of a room; we must
empty it by filling it with light"
What Do You Stand For?
In these parable answers which
He made to the charge that He was
a confederate of the evil one Jesus
stated the principle of the light, the
animating purpose, that radiates
from a life. Everybody must shed
either darkness or brightness. The
lineup is inescapable. The point is
made practical by the Teacher, even
as it is gathered up N the familiar
little kindergarten song:
Jesus bids us shine with a clear,
pure light,
Like little candle shining in the
night"
Desite the evidence of the array
Of lamps in every lamp store to the
contrary, it is true that lamps are
not made to be seen, but to see by.
Their business is not to be looked at
but to give light. Which is a para
BILE for Christians. How Jesus
would have seized on the modern
method of indirect lighting as a
metaphor-the lamp itself out of
sight, but its light flooding the room
A lamp is to be elevated, said He,
to throw light.
