THE INAUGURAL BALL.

Governor elect Alexander has an
nounced that there will be no inau-
gural ball in honor Of his induction in
to office. This, of course, is for the
purpose of impressing the people Of
Idaho with the simplicity and economy
that are to be the distinguishing feat
ures Of his administration. Inasmuch
as the inaugural ball costs the state Of
Idaho nothing. the expense being taken
care Of by the people of Boise through
the sale of tickets, it would seem that
the newly elected governor has over
stepped the bounds Of propriety in
so early. All the governor is asked
to do at this biennial social function
is to lead the grand march, after which
where else his inclination leads him.
The inauguration of a governor is an
event Of the greatest Importance to
the people Of the state, and 1t is highly
proper that 1t should be made the &C.
casion of more or less pomp and cere-
mony and that the social festivities
should take the form of grand ball
But since President Wilson tabooed
the inaugural ball two years ago, no
democrat could remain orthodox and
favor such a vulgar display and waste
full expenditure of money And so
while the new governor is far from be-
ing orthodox from a religious stand
point, politically he is true to the
faith.

REPUBLICANS uNDAuNTED.

When the members of political
party can suffer a great defeat, and al
most before the smoke Of battle disap-
pears gather at the banquet board
with spirits undaunted and make
Jest of the "late unpleasantness" while
planning for, future campaigns, they
show recuperative power that will
speedily overcome any temporary re-
verse and they reflect the virility of
the party which will insure victory in
many battles yet to be fought.
About $50 republicans of Shoshone
county, including nearly all the de-
feated candidates, responded to the
invitation to attend the banquet at
Kellogg last Friday evening in honor
If the successful republican can
didates. 1t was a gloomy banquet
hall for such a mirthful, hopeful and
enthusiastic gathering. Defeat was
forgotten in the memory of past tri-
|umphs, and predictions for future vic
tories were received with outbursts OF
applause. The spirit of the occasion
was such that the opposition may ac-
cept 1t as formal notice that the fight
to restore Shoshone county to the re-
publican column, where she would be
with a free and unrestricted political
expression, will go on with ever-in-
creasing energy and determination
which can not fail to bring success.

THE CASE AGAINST BoRAH!
caldwell Tribune)

Two years ago o. V. Allen and Will
liam f. Borah were candidates on the
same ticket At the time Mr.. Allen
was suspected Of many things Of queS-
tionable ethics. He had pulled off his
furniture DEAL he was suspected to
have had traffic with banks and other
financial institutions to his own per-
sonal benefit: he was suspected of
using his office, in every conceivable
manner for his own profit. The only
thing that he had not done that was
matter of public knowledge, was tn
have made an advantageous loan with
the state. Two years ago Mr.. Borah
had nothing to say against Allen. To
have said a wold would have endan-
gered the political life of the senator
Mr. Borah very periodically refrained
from comment on Allen. l. took the
now famous loan and two years of
contemplation to make Senator Borah
realize the enormity Of the faults OF
Allen. He did not even come to
realization until after the primary
election. Had Mr. Lewis or even Judge
Stevens been nominated at the prlm-
airy election we are Of the opinion that
Senator Borah even today would not
have had great trouble in controlling
his feelings when writing Chairman
Day on the Allen affair.
Senator Borah, being safely slowed
away for four years, took the Allen
matter as an excuse for slamming the
whole republican ticket. As the lead
ing member Of the party and the head
OF the ticket Governor Hanes suffer
ed most keenly The blow naturally
fell on him as was calculated.
The dcfeat Of Governor Haincs was
due only in part to Borahs sudden ac-
tlvities. The final disclosures in the
Allen case was the most importan.
factor. Disaffection on the part o.
prominent republicans owing to defeat
OF the primary and at previous cleo
lions was another cause. These. how.
ever, do not relieve Borah He did the
worst he could. His holy and right
eous Indignation at the time was SIM
ply tommyrot. Republicans will keen
this in mind four years hence.

PAVING RESIDENCE SECTION.

There is now unquestionably an
overwhelming sentiment among the
property owners Of Wallace in favor
Of paving the residence section of the
city next year, This does not mean
that there has been any radical change
in the attitude of the people on the
paving question, but that merely as
practical proposition, since the bust
ness section is paved, 1t Is desirable to
have the residence section paved also.
In fact the feeling prevails that the
necessity for paving in the residence
districts is just as pressing as 1t was
in the business section, and since 1t
will be far less expensive the sentiment
is practically unanimous in favor of
putting it through next spring and
summer. The paved roadway would
be much narrower than in the bust
ness section and there would be no ne
cessity for having as heavy base, as
! 1t would not be required to stand heavy
traffic
To meet the demands of the people
on this question the city council must
be in position to pave the various
street intersections, and at the present
time there seems no way to provide
means for the purpose except by a
bond issue. The delay and inconven-
| fence caused by weather in connection
with paving the business section is
still fresh in memory, and 1t Is to
avoid a similar situation in connection
with paving the residence section that
the council is now sounding public
sentiment on bond election. To COM
ply with the legal requirements in con-
nection with bond issue would con-
sumo three or four months. so II is evil
dent that In taking the matter up now
the council is displaying good judg-
ment. Should the bond election be
called at the earliest possible date and
the people voted favorably upon the
proposition, II would be spring before
the money could be realized on the
issue 1t is for the purpose Of getting
the advantage Of the good weather
that the council is now taking the mi
ing. and its action is generally ap
proved.

is a negro question in the depart
ments. nor will 1t convince the people
that the reason for segregating the
blacks and whites was to prevent frie-
ton between them. For many years
negroes have held clerical positions in
the departments alongside white peo-
pie, and If there has been any more
friction between them than there Is
between other persons similarly stu
ated. the public has heard nothing OF
II. The fact Is that since the national
government passed under the control
Of the south, there has been an effort
to drive the negro from positions In
the public service and relegate him to
the same relative position in Washing
ton that he occupies in the southern
states. Because one negro went be-
| yond the bounds of propriety in adj
dressing the president should not pre-
vent the president from making a
careful investigation of the situation

tected in the full enjoyment of all his
f,;hts and that race prejudice is not
lllowed to initiate against him

MR.. M'cRAckEN's POSITION.

According 10 Mora Marks" the
Boise correspondent of the Lewiston
Tribune, Robert NJ. McCracken is an
ardent supporter of President Wilson
and will go right down the line in de-
Tense Of the presidents policies. This
is a serious charge against a man
nominated for congress in a republic
can primary and elected on the repub-
llcan ticket Mr.. McCrackcn should
define his position. The people have
right to know where he is at" when
he takes his seat in the lower house.
The Tribunes correspondent says:
There is much speculation here as
to the course Robert NJ. McCracken is
to pursue in congress. 1t was known
FOR months before the election that he
was an ardent admirer of Woodrow
Wilson. Since the election he has said
that he proposes to go down the line
with the president. that he proposes
to stand by him in the program he has

THE PRESIDENT AND THE Me-
GRoEs.

President Wilson administered a
just rebuke to Mr. Trotter, the spokes-
man for delegation of negroes who
were received by the president to
hear their protest against the segre-
cation Of negroes from whites in the
departments at Washington No one
should address the president of tho
United States except with due defer
ence to his high position. and the
president did right in terminating the
interview and serving notice on tho
delegation that they would not again
be given a hearing until they secured
a spokesman who would address The
president in manner in keeping with
his high position.
But the affront offered the president
does not obscure the fact that there

toned upon the failure of the republic /
cans In the legislature to secure the |
two-thirds to adopt a reso-
luton submitting a constitutional
amendment to the people. In the
event of a failure OF the republican
party to secure the two-thirds vote In
the legislature necessary to the pass
age Of resolution of submission" does
not mean failure to secure two-thirds
republican votes. and there is nothing
in the platform upon (which to base
such a construction. The context OF
the declaration clearly shows that in
adopting 1t the convention had in
mind primarily the submission Of the
question to the people and that the
Legislative enactment was last re-
sort. Now the republicans have

lature anu VIII tuereLoie nav lN

the question to the people. 1t is alto
gether likely that there will be enough
of them ready to join the republicans
to make the necessary two-thirds to
pass the resolution Of submission, and
lif this Is done the republicans will
have fully complied with their plat
form pledge. Failure to secure the
two thirds would of course leave the
republicans obligated to pass pro-
hibitory law.
The people of the state, both wet and
dry, who sincerely desire to have the
temperance question settled perman
emily and object to having the matter
made the football of political parties
with each succeeding campaign, want
the question submitted as an amend
Iment to the constitution and that Is
the way the republicans will dispose OF
it if they can muster the votes.

in hand.
Gust what this means will not be
known, of course, until the new con-
gress meets. Whether Mr., McCracken
will go to the extent Of remaining out
of the republican caucus in order that
he may be in position to vote for the
measures urged forward by President
Wilson will be an interesting point to
watch. Progressive democrats here
expect him to do that very thing. Many
of them voted for him under the con-
viction that he was the best Wilson
man running for congress on any ticket
not even excepting Forney and Miller.
This accounts for the good vote Nc
Cracker received, because it Is well
known that he lost many repub lean
votes, largely on the liquor issue"

REPUBLICANS AND PROHIBITION

Since 1t has become known that the
republicans will control the legislature,
opposition newspapers have been bus
lily interpreting the republican plat
form declaration on the temperance
question, and as might be expected the
Interpretation Is invariably one calcu-
lated to embarrass the republican
party rather than to elucidate It's dec
aration on the prohibition question.
Professional prohibitionists, that is,
those who have been drawing a salary
for agitating the question and who will
be out of job after the question is
submitted in the form of constitu-
tional amendment, have Joined the
newspapers in pointing out that the
republican party, not having secured
the requisite two thirds of the lcgis-
lature necessary to pass a resolution
submitting a constitutional amend
ment, is pledged to pass statutory
prohibition law.
Having committed itself definitely on
the question, the republican party can
be depended upon to fulfll It's promise
and is not dependent upon its enemies
for definition of what its promise
means. Here is the prohibition plank
in the republican platform:
Firmly believing that national pro-
.hibition offers the most sure and eff
cient means of doing away with the
liquor traffic and its attendant evils,
we favor an amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of lntoxlcat-
ing liquors within the confines of the
nation, and urge our members Of con-
gress to do whatever lies in their pow
er to bring about the submission to the
states, of such an amendment.
Pending the final. and, we believe,
complete solution of the temperance
Question in the aforesaid manner, we
hereby declare in favor of statewide
prohibition within the state OF Idaho.
and to that end favor the submission
to the voters of this state by the next
legislative assembly of constitutional
amendment embodying that provision
and in the event OF the failure Of the
republican party to secure the two
thirds vote in the legislature necessary
to the passage of a resolution of sub
mission, we pledge our members OF
the legislature to the passage Of a d.
rect prohibition legislative enactment"
There should not be great difficulty
in determining exactly what the fore
going declaration means. It is evident
that the republican convention which
adopted the platform believed that the
proper solution of the prohibition
question would be its submission to
the vote of the people of Idaho in the
form Of an amendment to the consti-
tuition, and the pledge to favor enact
ment Of a prohibition law was condi-

THE DAY.
(Henry ChappclI)

You boosted the Day, and you toasted
the Day,
And now the Day has come.
Blasphemer braggart and coward all
Little YOU reck Of the numbing ball.
The blasting shell or the white arms"
fall
AS they speed poor humans home.
You spied for tie Day. you lied for the
Day,
And woke the Days red spleen
Monster who asked Gods aid divine,
Then strewed His seas with the ghast-
ly mine;
Not all the waters Of the Rhine
Can wash thy foul hands clean.
You dreamed FOR the Day, you schem-
ed for the Day;
Watch how the day will go.
SLAYER of age and youth and prime,
,efenselesD slain for never a crime)
Thou art stepped in blood as hog in
Slime
False friend and cowardly foe.
You have sown for the Day, you have
grown for the Day;
Yours Is the harvest red.
Can you hear the groans and the aW-
full cries?
Can you see the heap of slain that lies
And slghtIess turned to the flame split
skies
The CLASSY eyes of the dead?
You have wronged for the Day, you
have longed for the Day
That lit the awful flame.
TITS nothing to you that hill and plain
Yield sheaves of dead men amid the
grain:
That widows mourn for their loved
ones slain,
And mothers curse thy name
But after the Day there's a price to pay
For the sieepers under the sod
An! he you have Knocked for many a
day
Listen, and hear what he has to say:
vengeance is mine, will repay"
What can you say to God"

ment and seems to establish beyond
question that Judge Walters was de-
liberately slaughtered in order to pave
the way for the appointment Of Judge
Bulge. Il also reviyes interest in the
original pre- primary charge that Gov

Bulge justice of the supreme court tC

GOLD PRODUCTION

The "gold value' of the year 1913
to the world was $455, 900, says a
Washington dispatch. The production
of the previous year exceeded this to-
tai by 100000. This was the first
estimate of the director of the mint,
George 4. Roberts, made in the year
1914.
According to Director Roberts's an
nouneement Thursday night, the Unit
ed States gold production for the
year just past amounted to $SS,301,
023, decrease of 100000 below its
1912 record and Auhtralia showed a
decreased production of $1,000,000,
Mexico's production fell off about
$5,000000 as the result of the revo-
luton there. Canada exceeded its out
put of 1912 by about $2,700,000 and
British India showed an increase of
$l,000,00O.
Nevada lead the gold producing
states of the United States, yielding
ore to the commercial value of $9,-

MINING sUIT OVER
THE EASTERN STAR

Attorney General Geo. B. Thatcher
came to Reno last night to meet Irv-
ing Mcdonald, whom he is represent
ing in suit pending in the District
Court involving large interests, which
will be heard on an application for
injunction January next, says We'd
nesday's Journal.
The suit is that of Irving Melon
aid, as administrator of the estate of
Malcolm Mcdonald, against A. j.
Stinson, W. M. Kearney and the East
ern Star Mining company, and the
petition asks an accounting and de
cree giving the estate l0s,000 shares
of the mining company and $13,500
in money.
The complaint says that A. ]. Stin-
son and Malcolm Mcdonald secured
the Eastern Star on joint adventure
and that upon the death of Mcdonald
Stinson assumed full ownership. 1t
is alleged that 10000 shares of the
company were transferred to W. NJ
