SENATOR BORAH AND HIS VIEWS AS TO THE NORTH
AND SOUTH RAILROAD

The sentiment in favor connecting link between north
and south Idaho growing every day. There words
of encouragement that will help in promoting the project Its
need apparent and its prospective benefits beginning be
realized.
Senator Bora the occasion of his visit to Lewiston
nounced his position and urged that stand behind the
in his efforts to make the road reality Mr. Borah
said:
''Now let say word the north and south railroad
not expert railroad builder and do not know what
will cost to build the road whether there sufficient
mage sight justify it's building But do know that if
it at all feasible practicable business proposition then by
all should put his shoulder to the wheel regard
less of politics and help along We ought to give Governor
Alexander assistance and instead of dscourang ought
encourage him practical and reasonable his
effort to forward the proposition.
1.-THE governor is shrewd business and take it will
submit his plan and when he submits feasible and prac
cable business proposition will all certainly be glad most
hope far what the road will probably cost mile
what probable tonnage there will be to feed the road when
completed The state would not under circumstances take
hold of until it shown what it would cost and what there
to sustain the road after built neither would private
capital take hold Of without the most accurate nfor
nation So view what want is practical plan with
information AS say assume the governor will submit that
proposition He should every and every
support We should parsans about the
getting too much credit it he submits feasible and practical
plan should support it as citizens
1t is this outspoken frankness the part Borah
that finds for him many critics in Republican ranks This
characteristic also finds for him many staunch supporters
and admirers democratic ranks who than augment the
loss Of the radical hard headed conservatives of his party
Recommendations of the project the nature of Senator
Boas interview published in the Tribune carries weight
From day to day other influential voices will lend
ment In the end the people of the entire state will raise their
voices in favor Then the road will be constructed

LEAVE IT TO DEMOCRACY.

Mr. George W. Perkins, leading financial supporter of the
progressive movement at conference Of his party held in
Albany N w. last week made speech in the Of which
he attacked the Underwood tariff bill
This is very unjust for every unprejudiced knows
that measure has been put to the test owing the fact
that the cut off virtually all imports and business
suit of the conflict had be almost entirely reoganized the
United States.
Mr. Perkins expressed the opinion that by the time the
ended Europe the United States will have accumulated an
immense amount of the gold of the present warning nations
the first thing those countries will do when declared
to devise means of getting this gold back
In his vew and there may be something in this opinion
the returning soldiers will be put work in the European
factories and is possible the scales there will
made to win back the markets of the United States for
featured goods of all kinds.
The difference between the paid this country and
Europe at the close of hosties is likely be very marked
for the that here and abroad should be greater
than ever before does reasonable suppose that
tariff will have to be revised again this condition.
but what Mr. Perkins appears overlook fact the demo-
Gratis are more competent of meeting this condition than
other political party has shown itself to be.
The war has made necessary would be
strange indeed if after years fighting would not re-
qulre great deal of reorganization of the business of this
country.-Butte Miner.
