This being a free country OF more

free speech for peace-at-any-price is
an lncontested individual right.
The seriousness comes in the as

Mr.. Carnegie and Mr.. Ford happen
to have chosen for some OF their mill

Influence of immense money on that
side-the side of weakness and unpre-

The fate of a republic of men cannot
safely be thus decided by the holders
of industrial wealth. The holders OF
this wealth may be willing to assume
la vast responsibility without knowing
all the facts, and without understand
ing the minds and consciences OF the
many million of their fellow citizens.
] But the republic of men seems to be
fairly well awake to the dangers of
such peace-at -any-price propaganda
and to the dangers Of the means en-
ployed for such propaganda.
."The jingling of a guinea" cannot
decide the action of a verile, self-re-
liant people any more when judged for
a Chinafied nation than when jingled
for unnecessary militarism.
The men who really love peace are

TURNING REPUBLICAN.
Deluth Nws Tribune.

0SAdth AiOuliCs
President Wilson has decided the
tariff must be revised upward. Many
Istalwart Democrats agree with him.
Former National Chairman Mack said
this long ago. Business mn, as well
as manufacturers. those most familiar
with results, second the motion most
heartily.
The present product of Democratic
genius has not reduced the cost of liv-
ing as was promised and it has not
produced the revenue that was pro-
missed. 1t has brought the competition
and the inflow of foreign goods the Re-
publicans foretold, and with these the
depression of manufactures.
Mr.. Wilson would return sugar to a
protective duty. He would abandon
the Democratic fundamental of free
raw materials by putting a duty on
wool. He would protect those infant
industries; dye stuffs, chemicals and
drugs. He would not go much further,
but a he stop at this concession to
the rightness of Republican conten-
tons and principles?
In large measure the war has taken
the place of a protective tariff. But
save for munitions and war demands,
ldleness of capital and labor in this
country would be appalling. Save for
special taxes, the treasury would be
more depleted than it is.
The Republicans can contemplate this

ly He Ought to.
Utica, N. Y, observer)

NOlicd, ~. IT, O~DSerVef)
The Anaconda Standard assures its
readers that Senator Borah of Idaho
realizes that he is out of the prospects
for nomination for the presidency
next year because he comes from o
small state and from a section of the
country that has never had a candi-
date for the presidency. He is said to
have requested his friends to cease
booming him, and he feels that an eff
fort to secure the nomination would
be entirely fruitless. The Standard
continues to find some hope, however,
as this is a period in history when
old customs and established prece-
dents are quickly smashed"
No matter how wise and how great
a man Senator Borah may be, or how
faithful to his country and to his
party or how progressive he may be
in ideas, he stands scarcely a chance
In the next republican convention. The
reason for this Is as stated-he comes
from a state with only three electoral
votes. and in the far west whence 1t IL
not expedient to draw candidates.

change of front with entire equanimity
but what of those Democrats who have
proclaimed so loudly of the present
laws perfections, admitting no faults?
In every detail they have declared it
perfection and the parent of unequaled
prosperity. The one thing eve they
have not claimed for it is that it has
reduced the cost of things, yet this was
to be it's chief virtue.

A OF EZRA BAIRD.
Pioneer Citizen and Prominent in Pc.
liti.al Affairs.

tihtT0i IttaHo
Ezra Baird, an Idaho pioneer Of
1852, and one of the best known men
in the state during his years of active
ity, died at his home In dorado, Ida,
on September II. He was 70 years of
age. The cause of his death was
heart failure.
Mr.. Baird, who was q native Of
Shoshone county, New York, came to
Idaho by way of the isthmus of Pan
anna and San Francisco. In 1862 he
located in Lewiston and engaged in
placer mining on Newson creek and
in the vicinity of Elk City For ten
years he engaged in the stage busi-
nesse between Lewiston, Warrens and
Elk City.
In 1874 he was elected sheriff OF
Nez Perez county, an office which Re
filled for four terms Of two years
each. He was appointed United
States marshall for Idaho by President
Cleveland during the latter's first ad-
ministration in 1884. Afterwards ne
conducted a livery business in LOWS
ton and operated in quartz mines III
Montana, British Columbia and aortn
Idaho.
Mr.. Baird was married in 1873 "
Mary A. Odle, who survives him. TWO
children, Edna May and Lewis Lew
renee, were born to them. Re WIS

This ought not to be so, but it is a
condition that probably will not be
removed for many years. If a man is
big enough and patriotic enough and
devoted and faithful enough to be the
president of the United States, the
place of his residence ought to make
no difference. Not all the great
statesmen are to be found in the big
cities or in the most populous and
richest states. Rock bound and
mountain covered Idaho is as much ?
part of the sisterhood as is flat and
undressing Ohio.

CHANGE THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

In spite of tn prestige Of Senator
Borah, who is vigorously defending the
direct primary as the law now stands
in Idaho, there is unquestionably a
widespread feeling throughout the
state that the law should at least be
changed in a number of respects to
make it responsive to the will of the
people. In selecting candidates for
county office the objection to the sys-
TEN is not so pronounced, although
there Is no evidence to show that the
men selected to fill county positions
under the direct primary are in any
respect superior to those selected I'M
der the old convention plan. But
since it is possible for the voters to
gain direct information regarding the
qualifications of candidates for coun-
ty offices, it is perhaps too much to
ask that the blessed privilege of rul-
ing as provided by the direct primary
be taken away altogether. Let the
people rule in the county, although it
works a hardship on the candidates by
compelling the successful ones to
make two campaigns.
But in the selection of candidates
for state offices the system is a fail
ure, and it's operation in some respects
defeats the purpose for which it was
designed. Take the case of governor
for example. The amount allowed by
law for expense of the primary CAM
paign is not sufficient to make a thor
ough campaign for the nomination,
and yet it is more than the average
citizen who might aspire to be gov
ernor feels justified in spending, ar
ticulariy in view of the fact that if he
is successful he must start right in
making a more thorough campaign for
election in which the expense will be
much heavier and upon which this re-
markable law places no limitation.
In addition to this difficulty which
confronts the candidate of small
means, he is generally contesting for
the nomination against candidates of
large wealth and who have no scruples
against evading the law limiting ex-
penditures in furthering their inter-
ests. This is a situation that can not
overcome, for there are so many
date with a large bank account can
evade the provisions of tn. law regu-
lating expenditures without fear of
detection and punishment.
There can be no doubt that the con
vention system of nominating candi-
for state offices is the best plan
devised. Delegates sent from
each county in conference with those
from all other counties can be more
safely relied upon to select desirable
than can the individual
voters who have no information re-
the qualification of candidates
other than that contained in circulars
to them or in paid advertise
ments in the local papers. The legis-
ature could perform no higher SER
gice to the state than in amending the
iirect primary law making it apple
lble to counties only and restoring
he convention system for the nomin-
ltion of candidates for state Offices.

Behind him law the gray Azores,
Behind the Gates of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost of shores;
Before him only shoreless seas.

If we sight naught but seas at

why, you shall say at break OF day:

They sailed and sailed, as winds might
blow,
Until at last the blanched mate said:
why, now not even God would know

These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dread seas is

Now speak, brave Admiral, speak and

They sailed. They sailed. Then spake
the mate:
This mad sea shows his teeth to-
night.
He curls his lip, he lies in wait,
He lifts his teeth as if to bite!
Brave Admiral, say but one good
word:
What shall we do when hope is
gomez"
The words leapt like a leaplng sword:
sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'
Then, pale and worn, he paced his
deck,
And peered through darkness. All,
that night
OF all lark nights! And then a
speck-
A light! A light! At last a light!
1t grew, a starlit flag unfurled!
1t grew to be Times burst of dawn.

It's grandest lesson. "On! sail on!"
