ROOSEVELT AND HIS RIVER.

Those English geographers who
would make it appear that Colonel
Roosevelt Is mature taking" in claim
ing to have discovered a great river in
South America will probably wish
they had remained silent before the
colonel is through with them. The
colonel is not a man to be trifled with
in any matters and particularly those
which have to do with his achieve
ments in the field Of exploration and
in subduing the beasts of the jungle.
That he will accept the challenge from
the English geographers is certain,
and the Democrat says:
But the colonel will accept the
challenge. What he will do to the
armchair geographers will be a-plenty
He will doubtless refer to some OF
the authoritative maps Of the four
teenth and fifteenth century, showing
the COLLINS and grffins that lowered
about the jumping off place of the
world He will not have to depend
on a few unstable Eskimos for verifi-
cation of his story He had goodly
company of civilized beings and they
doubtless kept accurate records. He
will show that the English maps are
worthless, representing the guesses OF
men who had rot been within 100
miles of the places they charted. He
will demand a detailed account Of the
mapmakers'. explorations. He will
want to know how many men they
lost in the rapids, how many pounds
they lost from fever and how many OF
those peculiar boils that interfere
with a mans comfortably standing
they suffered from He will also ar
que that the river may have changed
since the maps were made. He will
have Americans with him in the con-
test, with the single exception Of DR.
Cook, whose claims the colonel repud-
lated And even DR.. Cook may re-
main silent, for the colonels' dear
friend, Senator Poindexter, has taken
up the cudgels for Cook In the United
States senate asking that congress
give him a medal for discovering the
North Pole. Those British geogra-
piers have rushed in where angels
would fear to tread"

been an active republican and has at
times held political positions. he has
never been nor is he now to be regard
ed as a politician in the ordinary ac-
ceptation of the term. He is deeply
interested in politics, as every citizen
should be, but the political positions
he has held were those of service to
his county and state rather than of
profit.
Men who know Mr. Lewis intimate
ly and have been associated with him
in a business and an official way speak
of him as a big, broad gauge man, one
who is eminently qualified through ed
ucation,, temperament and experience
to be governor of this great and grow
ing commonwealth.
Geographically Mr.. Lewis comes
from the right part Of the state. For
several years the republicans Of Idaho
have conceded that the north Is en-
titled to the governor but an available
candidate has not been forthcoming. 1t
, looks now like Mr.. Lewis might fill
that 'long felt want" and that the re-
his support, and in that event the
south is practically pledged to join
them. Altogether the outlook for the
nomination of Mr. Lewis is quite fiat
tering.

ance, or they are remaining quiet and
watching with keen sense the drift Of
public affairs.
One reason for the feeling Of dis
gust that Families the party organiza-
ton is due to the efforts Of some of
the so-called leaders to induce rich
men to head their ticket in the state.
Cruzen, Dewey Humbird and Vollmer
are of the men who are known to have
been urged to lead the party either as
candidates for the senate or for gov
|ernor The impression Is out, whether
well ground or not, that the primary
motive of these would-be leaders was
not to get the right man for the office,
but to get a rich man for the cam
paign, one who would finance the I'M
dertaking and pay the cost Of organi-
cation.

PANAMA CANAL SURRENDER.
philadelphia North American)

philadelphia North American)
Nothing that this newspaper could
say would change the purpose Of Pres
ident Wilson and the administration
congressman to repeal, at the demand
of Great Britain, the provision grant
ing free passage through the Panama
canal to American coastwise vessels.
If our readers think this confession
humiliates us, they are mistaken; for
nothing that they could say, or ten
times their number, would make any
difference, either The power of the
patronage has not only cowed the ma
jority into submission, but has made
them open their mouths to as shame
full a gag as ever the teeth of states
men bit upon.
That the United States should aban-
don it's sovereignty over the canal was
never seriously proposed, either here
or abroad, until President Wilson
made his astounding plea few weeks
ago. He urged repeal Of the provision
without raising the question whether
| 1t was right or wrong" and exclusively
"in behalf of the foreign policy of the
administration"
When the president of the United
States stands forth as chief spokes-
man for Great Britain's recently de-
vised contention, urges that congress
yield sovereignty Of the canal, right
or wrong" and invokes in behalf OF
his humiiating demand the spirit OF
patriotism, he puts upon that term q
strain it was never meant to bear
This move involves international
consequences of the gravest import Ii
reverses the deliberate action of the
people. through their chosen represen
tatives, in defiance of public indorse-
ment Of that action: it strikes down
an economic and foreign policy found
ed upon the soundest principles; i,
disregards facts and presidents which
are upheld by capable authorities, both
in this country and in Europe; it un-
justly brands the American nation as
guilty Of bad faith, and thereby smites
that very spirit Of patriotism which it
pretends to honor.
Inspired by administrative weakness
and achieved by the shameless coer-
cion Of patronage and gag rule, it's pre-
dicted success will be but a hollow
victory, a triumph which the demo-
cratic party one day will rue more
than a defeat.

PASSING OF IDAHO PROGRESS
IVES.

That the cause Of progressvism as
a third party proposition is distinctly
on the wane Is the position taken by
we'll known political writer of Boise
who recently had the following to
say:
There is another development in the
realm of Idaho politics that is signifi-
cant. This is the dwindling. day by
day of the progressive party organiza :
ton. There may still be much latent
bull moose sentiment. 1t is still pos
sible that a crusade by some such man
as Theodore Roosevelt would bring
many Idaho voters back into the or
ganization that came so near sweep
ing the state in 1912; but 1t is appar-
ent to every student of public senti-
ment that unless some such leader
takes the helm in short order the pro-
gressive party will quickly pass into
the catacomb Of oblivion to take its
place by the side Of the greenback, the
populist, the prohibition, the farmers
alliance and the many other political
organizations that have come and
gone.
j. H. Gipson, the chairman of the
progressive party organization, has
now made pretty complete tour of
the state. He has been in practically
every county. He has held meetings in
most of them. He has arranged skele-
tons of county tickets in many places
He has sent broadcast glowing reports
Of the enthusiasm in the ranks Of the
party. He has spent time and money
and energy in the work of party or
ganization. Still the movement lags
Those who took active parts in the or
ganization with few exceptions, have
returned to their former party allegi-

HAINEs HAS OPPOSITION.

If Governor Haines has been nurs-
ing the belief that he was to be re-
nominated without opposition, the an
Inouncement of Mr.. Lewis of Moscow
has disabused his mind and he knows
now that he will have real opposition.
Indeed the personality of the opposi-
ton, his public and private record and
his geogra phical location seem to COM
bine to make Mr.. Lewis quite for
mdable candidate, and when these
things are thoroughly weighed by the
governor and his advisers Governor
| Iaines may conclude that after all
discretion is the better part of valor'
and announce himself satisfied with
one term.
Governor Hanes could very con-
sistently decline to run against a nor
thern candidate 1t is recalled that
two years ago he was careful to state
in all parts of the north he visited
that he refrained from entering the
contest for governor until it was found
that the republicans in the northern
on a candidate; that he recognized
that the north was entitled to the gov
ernor, and so long as there was a pros
pect that there would be candidate
from the north. he kept out of the
fight. All of which was very COM
mendable in the governor and no
doubt secured him a good many votes.
We'll, the situation is identically the
same now except that the north Idaho
republicans appear to have a candidate
upon which the party can unite in the
person of Mr.. Lewis. Whatever pref
erence right the north had two years
ago in the selection of republican
candidate for governor still exists, and
the fact that Governor Haines has
served one term should make him more
disposed to recognize the right now
than he was two years ago. But whe-
Their he takes the view here suggested
or not, it is apparent that he is going
to have real opposition, and If the re-
pubicans OF the south are sincere in
the profession that they have been
making these past few years, 1t seems
quite probable that Mr.. Lewis will Sc
cure the nomination. With the pres
ent lineup 1t seems certain that he will
receive the overwhelming vote of the
republicans in the northern counties.

SUBMIT TITO THE PEOPLE.
(Seattle Post -Inteligencer)

The Washington correspondent Of
the Post-Intelligencer says that Sena-
tor Borahs proposal to wait and hear
from the country before voting on the
tolls question is meeting with much
favor. 1t Is even graciously regarded
by some of those who will vote against
it.
This proposal should certainly re-
celve the approval of those who are
sincere in their talk about letting the
people rule; who profess devotion to
democratic ideals; who are suggesting
the entire doing away with representa-
tive government and the substitution
Of direct action by the people, ex-
pressed at the polls. Moreover unless
the president himself has changed the
views which he has often expressed in
the past, an appeal to the people on
this question should meet with his ap-
prevail, because he has always leaned
toward the British system of parlia-
mentary government.
The question of relieving American
ships from the payment of tolls in the
use Of the Panama canal for our DOM
este trade has once received popular
approval. The president and the pres
ent house Of representatives were
elected upon platforms in which free
dom from tolls was one of the pledges.
The president and the majority of
the house Of representatives have
changed their views on this subject.
There is no evidence that the people
who relied upon their pledges have
changed. There Is an election to take
place this year. No damage will be
suffered by any one If the considera-
ton of the tolls matter goes over until
after that election is had. The case
can then be submitted to the people as
an issue of the campaign. If the peo-
pie refuse to return to congress a ma
jority favorable to imposing taxes up
on domestic commerce using this canal
then the whole subject must be drop
ped, if regard is to be paid to the pop
ular vote.
1t is the easiest and simplest solution
suggested. Why does not the senate
adopt 1t by refusing to pass upon the
question at the present session?

THE DEMOCRATIC SEXTON.

When Ravenal McBcth shook his fin
ger IN the face of John Nugent in the
meeting Of the democratic state
committee and exclaimed You are
digging the grave Of the democratic
party of Idaho" he drew the fire OF an
other member in the retort that NC
Beth was the official sexton Of the
democratic party In Idaho" 1t looked
for a time following this exchange
like there might be business for other
than political sexton, but serious
conflict was avoided by recognition by
the minority that Nugent was COM
plete master Of the situation and that
resistance was useless. That the Bit
terness and enmity manifested in this
meeting clearly reflected the feeling
that prevails throughout the state
among the rank and file is clearly indi-
Gated by expressions from local ucIno-
Gratis and through the democratic press
of the state Here Is an example from
the Twin Falls Cronicle, the represent
ltative democratic paper In that part Of
the state Speaking Of Mr.. McBeth's
grave digging charge, the Chronicle
says:
"A political derelict Of Custer coun-
ty, who has been politically dead these
many years, declared at the meeting
of the Democratic state central COM
mittee held at Boise last week. that the
majority Of the committee were dig
ging the grave Of the party, because
they refused to be dominated by the
minority. The only grave diggers the
democratic party has are a few re-
dictionary corporation touts, like the
Custer dude, whose utterance shows
how the reactionary ghost will dance
after the death blow is given the body.
The Custer derelict and his ilk have
ever been digging graves and pitfalls
for the Democratic party"

1t is somewhat surprising that the
probation ordinance regulating the at
tendance OF boys and girls at dance
halls, presented to the council and re-
ferred to a committee several weeks
ago, is being held up so long without
action. The need Of such an ordin-
ance has long been recognized and the
council will certainly serve the best
interests Of the city and conform to
the wishes of the people in general by
passing It.

RESOURCES OF THE STATE.

The population Of the state of Idaho
is only a little more than 100000 while
it is easily capable of maintaining over
1000 900. 1t Is to increase this popu-
lation by drawing attention to the I'M
excelled opportunities offered by the
state to homeseekers and capital seek
ing investment that the state main
tains an immigration bureau, that the
federation of commercial clubs was
organized. and that large appropria-
ton was made to represent the state
at the Panama exposition. These eff
forts meet the approval and support
of all citizens, for their success means
settlement and development and the
entire state joins in the benefits that
follow.
1t is perhaps natural and possibly to
a certain extent right that these eff
forts to advance the interests Of the
state should be chiefly along the line
of exploiting the agricultural advan-
tages the state has to offer in order to
induce settlers to occupy the land The
land open to settlement and capable Of
being converted into attractive and
prosperous homes, and to bring about
this result is and should be the first
aim of the state However, in their
eagerness to accomplish this result,
there is pronounced tendency on the
part Of those who represent the state
to overlook other resources and in
dustries which directly concern large
number Of citizens. A notable exam
pie Is afforded in the mining industry
Of Idaho. There Is not state in the
west that promises greater things in
the way Of mining than Idaho AL
ready it ranks as one of the great
mineral producing states, and the pos
sibilities for future exploration and
development are practically without
limit. Yet it is only once in while
that the paid boosters of the state
have anything to say about mining in
Idaho. They tell about the wonders Of
irrigation, the productiveness of dry
land, the great crops of wheat and alf-
alta. the wonders of Idaho orchards,
the superiority Of the potato and the
tremendous tonnage shipped from the
state, but 1t is a rare thing that one Of
these boosters Of the state have any
thing to say about it's mines. Perhaps
they do not know that Idaho leads all
other states in the production of lead,
that II has the largest lead mine in the
world and that 1t has the third largest
zinc mine in the United States. But
they should know these things and
more; they should know of the many
undeveloped mines that need capital to
open them up, they should know of the
vast areas partially prospected and
known to possess vast mineral wealth
and which need capital to build trans
portation lines to make the product
available, and they should know that
in helping the miners of Idaho they
are comforting an even greater favor
upon the farmer, the fruit raiser and
the stockmen, for they are helping to
build up a home market for their pro-
ducts which is superior to all others
and creates steady demand at all
seasons.
