FRENCH REPLIES TO HIS ENEMIES.

Congressman Burton L. French has.pubished an open
letter addressed to the people of Idaho which he calls
attention to and reutes certain charges that been
made against him and his work in Congress- Mr. French
thinks that systematic attempt being made by some
one to thoroughly discredt him before the people of
Idaho and to make the attempt lies are freely
circulated He takes up the charges one by one and
retutes them explains his position in regard to them
There may be bureau, alleged by Mr.. French at
work in this state with the object view of discredng
him. 1t such be the do know whereabouts

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

1t is we'll not to "go nuts" vocational training in
the public schools the state board of education gives
indications of doing. Vocational education opens up
vista of that is appalling The can never
provide vocational education except in few lines It is
clearly injustice to equip student for his vocation
IN life at the expense of the public and deny others the
same equipment By what method of reasoning can the
college of law at the university be justified? Is not the
state IN duty bound educate its doctors we'll as its
lawyers? its dentists we'll engneers its bankers
and merchants as we'll as its miners and farmers?
The public schools should aim to give the students
thorough training in those branches of study that are
common to all trades professions and occupations
necessary to success in any The thorough the
farther they can go along this line the the
fulfill their purpose This applies the common schools
high Schools colleges and the university After VIC are
thoroughly prepared to do this then is time establish
colleges OF agriculture law, medicine pedagogy erg-
neerng and architecture and whatnot by which men and
women gain livelihood Vocational training in the
schools is all right only in far is benefit to all
students In this manner domestic science for girls may
be justified while music and art have no Justification In
this way bookkeeping and political economy may be jus
tined while manual training has place unless DC as
an exercise amusement. Vocational education is a
latter day fad which will pass away hundreds of other
fads have passed away.

upon political parties After the election the ocehoders

will have less weight than these platforms were

representatives by the the people
but by the representatives of the county central com

good If it does suit you worry not as it amounts
to little in any event.
There time when the party platform really
expressed the faith of the party affairs of govern
ment That time has passed away. The platform now is
simply compilation of homilies The ten command
ments would serve as excellent platform for all three
political parties. Time, money and energy could be
saved by adopting the ten commandments and adjourn
sine die. We have in mind platform which was adopted
by an Idaho county convention. It, stripped of useless
verbiage, reads:
We believe in honesty in public Office Also eff

We believe in temperance
We believe in square deal for capital We do not
believe in demagogy.
We don't believe in waste of timber
We believe that laws should state clearly their mean

We believe the schools should be administered for
the benefit of the people
We believe the child should really derive benefit
from his attendance at school,
We believe in selling some of property rather
than let it go to waste
We believe in good men and women.
We believe in lower taxes

not endorse the above platform Yet is seriously put
forth as the articles of faith of great political party

SECOND CHOICE VOTES WILL ELECT.

1t is not likely that any Of the Republican candi-
dates for the nomination for United States will
receive 40% of the first choice the primary
election In receives 400 of the first choice
votes cast the second choice will elect the nominee
This fact up great possibilities and may result
nominating the weakest of the four candidates If
the fight is between Goodng and Brady for first choice
votes and Ashe French gets practically all the second
choice votes, of these two will be nominated
1t behooves the electors to exercise the judgment
in casting their second choice their first choice
vote. 1t is not necessary second choice vote
In case there second choice then the
receiving the greatest number of first choice
will be the nominee of the party At this time it is i'm
possible to whether the people will avail them
selves of the second choice privilege 1t reasonable
that hundreds of people will exercise their second
choice privilege. These hundreds may the nominee
of the party
The second choice privilege with grave dangers
to the people. If any candidate should make campaign
for and receive any considerable number of choice
votes he will likely land the nomination In that event
the people would nominate weak The last legis-
ature should have done away with the second choice
votes entirely 1t did not do The politician will have
to reckon this unknown quantity in his campaign 1t
may upset all calculations.

THE BULL MOOSE.
louisville CourierJ ournal.

AAOalSNlllS NOuTlcTJ OuTnal.)
The movement fthe Sugar Barons
of Louisiana to break the Solid South
by falling out of the Democratic and
dropping into the Bull Moose column
is characteristic not only of modern.
but OF universal politics.
The Bull Moose seems to be at
once an amphibious animal and a
hermaphrodite. He stands halfway
between He'll and the Iron Works. the
Devil and the deep blue sea. Thus
he can swim or eat live Goals, as the
case requires, be woman or a man
at will.
In the North he is dissatisfied
Republican, in the South disgrunt-
led Democrat. In Louisiana one
might call him old Sugar-in-the
Gourd, in Pennsylvania, the He-Goat
of High Tariff. In Roosevelt he is
masculine, in Perkins feminine. and
in Pinchot neuter. All things by
turns and nothing long, his votaries
worship at the shrine of Teddy OF
the Forked Tongue and the Tiger
Heart, whilst Teddy rides him for all
he may be worth.

DISSOLUTION IS AT HAND,

The actual dissolution of the Progressive party is
taking place and that much more rapidly than was ex-
pected The North Dakota Progressive party failed to
nominate state ticket having fallen short of the number
OF votes required to qualify candidates for place on the
ticket at the general election Under the North Dakota
law candidates must have $50 of the total vote cast for
their candidate for governor the last general election
The Progressves registered only 230 in the entire
state.
The state of affairs in Indiana shows conclusvelv
that the Democratic party is getting weaker and the Pro-
gresve party is about all in. In six counties which in
ciude the cities OF Indianapolis Terre Haute South Bend
Gary Evansville and Fort Wayne, the total Progressive
registration this is 384s. In the same counties the
Progressive party poed 1851 votes in 1912 Gary Is
used to point out the trend in Indiana In Lake county
the Progressive dropped from $3.50 in 1912 to 600 in
this years primary. The Democratic vote dwindled from
$50 in 1912 to 22S0 The Republican vote increased from
Sl7o to 6400.
The following comparison of the Progressive vote
IN SIX Indiana counties in 1912 and 1914 shows conclusive
y that the Progressive party in Indiana is as dead as

The Tribune trusts that its readers will read Mr.
French's open letter He is entitled to be heard. There
is nothing to be gained by disappearing him his
position in Congress We, the people of Idaho, have
always considered Mr.. French splendid man in the
house of representatives We have returned him there

ability, patriotism and industry, the he became

sorry that Mr. French did decide to remain in the

ECONOMY NEEDED.

In view of all this recent-day howl
about high taxes, why shouldn't some
real economy be advocated and our
needless institutions be abolished!
Our present primary is the worst OF
these modern day luxuries, while
more satisfactory substitute is readily
available. While we are talking
economy let's practice little along a
practical line. The primary never
was a necessity. A substitute for it
has been advanced in the one election
system-a combination of the primary
and general election.-Salmon River
Sun.

II the stock is down to twenty
That you paid hundred for,
II the butcher and the grocer
Will not trust you any more,
1t you've given up your stateroom
On a transatlantic ship,
And are going to down to Coney
For your next vacation trip,
Do not fuss or fret or worry,
But be patient and resigned,
For it's merely psychological
Which means it's in your mind.

1t the foreman comes and tells YOU
That the shop is going to close.
II you cannot take the children
TO the moving picture shows,
II the interest on the mortgage
Isn't anywhere in sight,
And the sheriff is expected to
foreclose it any night.
1t will cheer you to remember
The depression that you feel
Is entirely psychological
Which means it isn't real.
Therefore let your hopeful bosom
Give a psychologist throb,
Ask some psychologist brother
For a psychologist job.
II your savings have been scattered
In a psychologist crash,
Pay the grocer and the butcher
With some psychologist cash.
And you speedily will find yourself
In some psychologist health
And possessed of an embarrassment
OF psychologist wealth.

In the Rural Jungle.

She was even more afraid of cows
than most girls, so when she spied a
placid animal recumbent under a tree,
peacefully chewing its cud, she at
first refused to go through the pas

fears to some extent, and they start
ed by, when the cow slowly com
menced to get up, hind legs first, as
they always do. At this the little lady
shrleked with terror and said:

CARA the Mexico Charge here probably
asked for his passports and this will
practically mean the declaring of war
in which case regardless of the out
come the loss of life is bound to be
great and the expense to this Govern
ment enormous
We are fully in sympathy with the
upholding OF the honor and dignity of
the United States but we believe in the
question with Mexico the same as the

matter should have been settled
