REPuBuCANSOF STATE AND COUNTY ARE
Confident Of SUCCESS IN NOVEMBER
rur TIDE TO REpueLlcANs-AcrlvE WORK OF CAM.
PAlcN is NOW UNDER

From q republican standpoint the
ro,,t,cal situation in Idaho and Sho-
shone county could hardly be more
satisfactory. There are numerous
reasons, local and otherwise whlch
might be given in explanation OF the
drift to the republican
marty. but there is one over-shadowihs
ali others which in itself Is suincient'
The people have not prospered uhoer
tho national democratic administra-
tion and they very naturally hoid the
administration responsible. The laws
ma ssed for the immediate relief OF the
people have failed to accomplish the
nromised results. The republican pro-
tective tariff law, denounced by DEM
ocrats as the mother of trusts ana the
direct cause Of the high cost OF llVihs'
uos Immediately displaced by large
~ free trade tariff, which has not oniy
failed to bust the trusts and reduce
the cost Of living. but has also falied
to produce sufficient revenue to meet
the requirements OF the government
In times Of peace.
War Tax, But No War.
So completely has the Underwood
tariff failed as revenue measure
that the same gentleman whose name
Go narnetuated in the tariff bill mas
lust submitted new bill to congress
to raise revenue by direct taxation
upon the people to make up the de-
Ac,encv that should have been sup
n,,ed by his revenue" tariff law, TOT
II should be borne in mind that stereo-
typed definition of democratic tarlii
is one that supplies sufficient revenue
TO meet the requirements OF govern
man, economically administered. Ine
claim that the war in Europe Is 'he
cause Of the shortage In custom re-
ceipts is only part true, and is maoe
to misleai the public on the eve VI
election. There had been markeu
and steady decrease in the revenues
long before the war, and 1t was pam
that an emergency measure OF some
kind would be necessary De1ore the
people would have chance to vote
change. Along with the failure OF the
democratic tariff came the enormous
appropriations by the democratic con-
gress. far in excess of those or any
other congress, and all in the name o'
economy and reform. Under these
circumstances a financial crisis IN the
affairs of the government was newt
able. and the European war gave tnt
democratic administration pretext te
pass an emergency measure to meet II
a measure that ievies direct ia,
upon the people.
No Other Argument Needed.
This situation was enough to turl
the tide back to the republicans, AM
all over the country there is unmis
taxable evidence that it is having tina
effect. In Idaho and Shoshone count.
the recent primaries were significan
Of the political attitude of the people
Although the total vote was small, tn
preponderating vote of the republican
could have no other meaning than tina
this Is a republican year and that tn
people in their adversely are agar
turning for relief to the party OF pro
gress and prosperity.

Festival Chorus

Birmingham has had number OF
eymphony festivals, but it has been
several years since festival with an
orchestra and chorus combined has
been given here; and real music
festival. as the term Is generally un-
derstood. includes a chorus, soloists
and grand orchestra. When 1T was
thought that the auditorium would be
built and ready for use in May or
June of this year, the Music Study
club announced that it would under
take a monster festival as fitting
opening for dedication of the build
ing; but the delay in the city issu-
ing bonds for the auditorium will
probably cause construction work to
be deferred for some months, and the
city will be fortunate to have the
needed building ready for use by the
spring of 1915.
In the meantime, Birmingham has
well organized choruses under the di-
rection of Rienzi Thomas. The Treble
Clef club and the Arion society united
in a performance of Handers great
oratorio, the Messiah" yesterday aft
ernoon; and all discriminating music
lovers who listened must have been
impressed with the possibilities Of a
large festival chorus such as Birming-
ham had 10 years ago. The rs or 81
voices which rendered the chorus
numbers of the messiah" could be
easily augmented to 100 or 1875, and
that would be an ample body of sing
ers for a festival performance in one
of the theatres.
The Music Study club has been re-
markably successful in all its enter
prises, and if it will present festival
in April, May or June the musical
public will feel grateful. If anything
is to be done in this direction start
should be made very soon, as the mat
ter of securing symphony orchestra
must be looked after during the win
ter.

WALK MILE INTO OCEAN

Cape May Cor. New York Sun
1t has been decided by capitalists in
terested in this resort to build y board
walk about mile out to sea--a novelty
in seaside construction-that will be a
veritable haven of bliss for the followers
of Izaak Walton.
The idea of a permanent boardwalk at
sea was made possible of fulfillment by
the building of jettles by the United
States government at cost of more than
s1,000000 SO that there could be an in
land harbor here for naval vessels and
merchant craft. The entrance to the har-
Dor is already deep enough to allow fairly
large cruisers of the navy to enter, but
not the biggest warships, for which pro-
vision will be made later.
The plan arranged by the capitalists is
to construct the sea boardwalk on the
west jetty, which is a broad pile of large
rocks, from which many amateur fisher
men angled with great success last sea-
son. The boardwalk not only will be a
retreat for persons devoted to the line
and the rod but will be az broad prone
made with pavilions for rest from which
a good view will be had of regattas and
the northern shore of Delaware. There
are two yacht clubs here and races are
frequent.
The capitalists who have decided on
the ocean going boardwalk as we'll as
other features not yet announced except a
belt line railway around the harbor are
headed by Nelson z. Graves, a paint
manufacturer of Philadelphia and Cam
den. Graves already has invested about
81, 800, 600 in Cape May.

Ladies' of Charity

among the organizations that deserve
the moral and material support of the
citizens none present a better claim for
support than the Ladies of Charity,
whose object is to bring relief to fam
lies suffering from sickness or distress,
said a member of st. Paul's congregation.
''These ladies personally visit and as
sist all worthy cases and take a lively
would otherwise be left without food or
fuel or clothes They have also under
taken to provide funds to support the
free clinic at st. Vincents hospital where
hundreds of patients are given medical
treatment and medicine free of charge.
1T is the purpose of this organization
to increase its membership to 500 and
energetic efforts will be made to that
effect. Its present membership is about
80, with Mrs. w. A. Porter, president,
and Mrs. James Downey, secretary and
treasurer. An active canvass for new
members will begin Immediately, and a
printed statement of the purposes and
objects of the association will be circu-
lated among the charitable ladies of the
city.
''The organization is thoroughly nonsec-
tartan in its work. making no distinction
in creed or color when distress or trou-
BILE claims its attention.

from hotel oIeeven a Puilman, dolled up
IN the latest fashion, with lace hand

islators are human beings, just like other

and it is a well established fact that
a man is far more inclined to listen to
a well dressed and attractive looking
woman, and grant her wishes, than he
is to some disagreeable and sloppy look
ing female who has been seeking the
limelight by the performance of feats the
contemplation of which would cause
dray horse to shudder.
What connection hike over sloppy
reads in rain and snow has with the
question of suffrage is a puzzle that baf-
fes the minds of any and all persons.
1t takes no especial physical attainments
or endurance to stick the end of a lead
pencil in ones mouth and mutiate an
Australian ballot with it later. Some
how or other the general impression of
qualification for suffrage seems to have
gotten abroad that the voter ought to be
intelligent enough to tell the difference
between a string of sausage and a grand
piano, rather than have record of
marathon performances, and a choice col
lection of corns and buniops. s.tsa.. s.fs4 S

over 100 or more miles OF uneven country
road has any other effect upon the coun-

finest and most thorough methods of not
getting votes for women, it seems to u.s.

Wall Street Hopeful

Henry Clews in his Saturday review.
begins with an interesting discussion of
the relation between Great Britain and
the United States, in which he expresses
regret at "the shadow cast over our
friendly relations" with the mother coun-
try through our attitude on the Panama
canal question.
I'VE are about to celebrate 100 years
of peace with Great Britain" says Mr..
Clews, "and this point of irritation should
be adjusted in some way before that
event begins. Not everybody is aware
that Great Britain is by far our best
customer. She and her colonies take
vastly more of our products than any
other nation. Nearly e-half of our ex.
ports go thence and over one-quarter of
our imports come from the British em-
pire. The commercial relations between
the nations are enormously valuable to
each. TIC a large degree the two coun-
tries are interdependent. and whatever
seriously hurts the one must inevitably
affect the other. There are hundreds of
millions of British capital in the United
States, which We could not drive away
without injury TO ourselves. No two ma
tions have more in common than the
United States and Great Britain as to
traditions, language, government. COM
merce industry, etc. True, we are rivals.
But that rivalry should be of the best
sort and our contests should be as be-
tween builders and not as between de-
strcyers. Both countries have been con-
spicuous leaders in the efforts toward
abolshing war; and yet. In spite of all of
these efforts, and in spite of the mass of
public opinion, small noisy minority
persists in creating friction and misun-
derstanding between the two most pow
erful nations on the globe. Such state
of affairs seems utter foolishness in the
eyes OF other nations"
AS to business conditions. Mr.. Clews
says in part:
"The new year opens with good rea-
sons for hopefulness. Commercial and
financial conditions In tho United States
are much more satisfactory than a year
ago. For over year all business trans
actions have been conducted upon a rig
| idly conservative basis. There has been
no overproduction by our mills, and no
overbuying by our merchants Conser-
vatism has dominated everywhere.
Liquidation has eliminated weak spots.
and financial conditions have been
strengthened by steady contraction and
a closer safeguarding of credit opera
tions.
"On the stock exchange confidence il
steadily reviving as result of the new
| currency bill and the more reasonable at
titude of Washington toward big busi-
ness; also because of growing hope that
the railroads will in due season receive
some consideration from the Interstate

fined them 40 marks apiece for their
contempt. Refusing to pay the fine, they
were ordered to be taken to the hole al
Newgate, the filthiest place of all prs
ons in England.
The jury retired to a small room anu
after an hour and a half had passed
eight of them came into the court and
said that they could not agree. The four
outstanding men were called into the
room and reprimanded and then all were
sent back again. After a longer time
tley were again brought back, as were
also Penn and Mead. Howell asked them

ply was yes" The verdict was guilty

The court asked if that was all and the
foreman replied: That is all have in
my commission"
The jurors were sent out the third
time and again returned verdict, writ
ten In pen and ink, that was the same
as the first, convcting Penn and acquit-
ting Mead. This was not accepted and
the jurors were sent out and We're not

day and a night they We're returned to
the court, but the same verdict pre-
vailed Thereupon the IA men were sent
to Newgate. From his chamber Penn
wrote to his father. who was dying at
the Penn home
Eleven days had passed since the trial
when Penn's father died, leaving all his
lands and belongings to his1son. Fear
Ing that unless his son were upheld and
supported by powerful friends his life
would be one continual act of martyrdom,
Sir William sent from his death bed to
both the King and the Duke of York Z

offices to his son which had been al

The trial shows the great courage and
patience that Penn possessed. 1t was such
trials and hardships as those that en-
abled him to gain the trust and re-
spect of the people. Penns work in
America followed this trial at Old Bailey.

Value of Target Practice

Efforts to promote more extensive
target practice among the younger
generation should receive every en-
couragement and if Congress agrees
to the proposal to issue obsolete
"Krag" rifles to clubs and military
schools it will be long step for
ward.
With the comparatively small army
which the United States maintains al
the present day it is highly important
that civilians should be trained in
the use of the rifle. That this is of
the highest value to a people is il
lustrated in the successes of the
Americans in the war of the revo-
luton, when the British were unable
to stand against the fire of an army,
every soldier of which was a sharp
shooter.
Advocates of the plan would also
have the government issue a stated
amount of ammunition for use in tar
get practice, and this, too, is desir-
able. This step would cost the gov
ernment nothing, as the weapons
which it is proposed to use are no
longer of standard grade and are re-
naming idle in armories. The ammu-
milton is not of the kind used at pres
ent in the army and it would merely
mean the sacrifice on the part of the
government of the comparatively
small amount which would be derived
from the sale of the rifles.
To sell the rifles indiscriminately
is highly undesirable Birmingham
is well aware of the havoc wrought
with the old Springfields in the hands
of negroes and irresponsible persons,
who were able to purchase them for
small amount of money. The use
of the rifles by clubs would be regu-
lated and rules would insure the ul-
innate return of the guns to the gov
ernment if desired.
At present the ordnance department
of the army has on hand about 300,-
900 model 1898 30-calibre magazine
rifles known as.the Krag, and $4,000
carbines available for issue to rifle
clubs. The equipment could be put to
no better use than the training of
young America.
