tor. He does not even know that
his judgment of candidates is the
best, since he selected Taft.
He has been known to express the
wish that he had selected Elihu Root
and has admitted that he might have
done SO if Root had only been strong
ly for himself.
Colonel Roosevelt has no opinion
of the Wilson administration what
ever. He has not said anything pub
licly about it, but he is ready at the
right moment to give it a smashing
blow. Some personal pique enters
into this. He is thoroughly angry
about the Columbian treaty and its
proposed apology for the acts of the
United States when he, Roosevelt,
was president. He blames this to
Secretary Bryan, but considers Bryan
as only portion of the administra-
ton. This affront and what he con-
siders the general weakness of the
present administration abroad make
the colonel feel as though the coun-
try needed another republican term.
But while Colonel Roosevelt is qui-
escent, almost docile, his friends who
remained in the Republican party
three years ago, are not SO amenable.
Borah is one of them. He thinks he
sees growing menace of a reaction
ary nomination manipulated by such
men as Penrose Of Pennsylvania and
Crane of Massachusetts, with the
three Jims, Hemway and Watson of
Indiana and Tawney of Minnesota,
as the travelling agents of the faction,
and he is said to have determined to
give up his candidacy for the sake
Of being free to sound a warning to
the rank and file.
Another republican United States
senator who has never been for Roose-
velt and who is not and cannot become
candidate, has said recently that if
the republicans took up any of the
reactionary candidates that the state
of Washington would send its dele
gates down to the convention in
structed for Roosevelt and reopen
the old fight and perhaps split the
party again.
All of the undercurrent of politics
goes to show that the first and most
delicate duty the Republican party
will have to perform is to decide
whether its candidate will be reac-
tionary or progressive. This it will
have to decide coincidentally with the
election of the delegates. This is
why underground work of the reac.
tionaries become 50 important year
ahead of the primaries. The party
win have to know which way it il
going before it starts. If it is wise
rand bold it will have chance for ar
old time victory.
But it is evident already that thu
battle between the conservatives anC
radicals in the party will be bite
and be fought this time to finish

WILL ENFORCE
The GAME LAW

The law providing for the protect
ion of the fish and game of the state
will be rigidly enforced and the CO.
operation of the public to prevent
violations is sought by State Game
Warden L. G. Jones and his deputies.
Warden Jones was in Lewiston one
day last week and in talking with
representative of the Tribune, he
said:
1t is the purpose of our depart
ment to give the state an efficient
and economical administration but
we cannot hope for success without
we receive the cooperation Of the
people throughout the state who are
interested in the protection of the
fish and game.
We want the people to report on
all violations and against all violators
and to successfully enforce the law
there must be no discrimination in
making these reports. 1t will be the
purpose of the department to with
hold from the public the names of
persons making reports but from in
formation secured through private
reports, we shall hope to be able to
secure sufficient evidence to go into
court and secure convictions.
1t will be our purpose to employ
only active deputies. We believe it
much preferable to have a few active
men than a large staff of inactive
deputies and from reports and COM
plants received, we would Judge the
fish and game have been given but
little protection.
Whatever money is saved in the
hire of deputies can be used in ex-
tending the hatchery operations and
if we are permitted to operate our
hatcheries to their fullest capacity
for the next several years. the Idaho
streams will provide the best fishing
in the northwest. We expect this
year to plant 100000 young trout
in the streams of north Idaho. The
first Matching of 2.0OO,0 will be

hatch of 1000, 900 will be made al

SENATOR BORAH WILL
NOT Be CANDIDATE
Report Comes from Washington That the Sen
ator will Soon Make Public His Position as
Regards His Candidacy for President.

Washington, March 81. Political
gossip in connection with the next
republican nomination is developing
here in way that surprises old hands
at politics. They attribute this pre-
cocious anxiety regarding the nomi-
nation to the influence of the news
papers. which no longer will let them
alone to choose a candidate in quiet
and peace.
The quiet and peace men have been
active. They have their agents here
and all through the middle west. 1t
would surprise some people to learn
that Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana
is making a dead set for the leader
ship next year and that he has so
much financial backing that the radi-
cal members of the party are taking
serious notice of his notions.
1t has gone 80 far not only with
regard to Fairbanks, but also some
other candidates who are termed re-
dictionary that one of the so-called
progressive candidates, Senator Will
liam E. Borah, has concluded to is
sue a statement and note of warn
ing to his party.
It is believed Senator Borah will
include with his warning a declara-
tion that he is not and will not be a
candidate for president. Mr.. Borah
is one of the acknowledged heavy
weights of the senate. No man on
the floor can hold candle to him as
an orator and few, not even Elihu
Root, command more attention when
they speak than Borah. He is heart
and soul progressive and wishes to-
see his party win, but he is convinced
that with reactionary candidate
and platform it will lose. So it ID
said he has concluded to take him
self out of the race because he finds
that he is geographically unavailable
In SO doing he will have an oppor-
tunity to make a strong protest
against the growing tendency to take
a republican victory for granted and
to arrange for conservative candi-
date and platform.
The Borah statement, when it
comes, will not mince matters. It
will be taken to a great extent as
voicing the sentiment of the republi-
cans of the middle west and noun
tain region on the platform and the
nomination. It will, in addition, be
a tip from a republican who knows
the feeling of Theodore Roosevelt
and may throw a sidelight on the
probable attitude of the head of the
Progressive party next year.
Close friends of Colonel Roosevelt
are said to have become convinced
that Colonel Roosevelt considers him
self down and out as a politician.
His present frame of mind is that he
will quietly support the republican
candidate provided he is a represen
tative republican. Colonel Roosevelt
does not expect to pick out the man
He has no thought of being a dicta

LATE SUMMER WORK AMONG
THE FLOWERS
By HELEN WATTS M,vEY.

by HEEEIN WA y w We
For the window garden get only
plants adapted to such conditions, or
that have been especially prepared for
winter blooming.
Keep them growing, shifting into
larger pots as they grow, and do not
allow them to blossom during the fall.
Old geraniums that have bloomed all
summer will not bloom in the window
garden. Root young plants, or get
them of the florist and get the sorts
that take kindly to house conditions.
Keep them in pots with not too
rich soil and plunge the pots in some
shady place with good light. Pinch
out all buds.
Cutting of hard-wooded plants
should be started to roofing in mid
summer, when the new growth begins
to harden. Almost any hardwooded
plant can be propagated by slippings
or cuttings with proper treatment
The cuttings should be four or five
inches long and inserted three inches
in sand and kept wet and partly shad-
ed and out of the way of the wind un-
til the roots are formed.
They are slower to start than soft
wood plants, but seldom fail if cut
tings are given the proper treatment.
In planting window garden, decide
what you want-flowers or foliage;
then work out your plans.
Many plants will not bloom for an
amateur, no matter what care is given
while others will bloom in spite Of

ominous silence was over the place.
Gaunt stood still, his heart beating
fast. telling himself thus:
IF Joan were alive she would by
now have seen me and would be CALI
ing to me in joy. Prepare yourself
for the worst. John Gaunt."
He ran to the last cage-Joan's
cage-and peered in through the bars.
There lay Joan, apparently dead.
"My God, boysl" Gaunt shouted, as
the others came running up. She's
dead. Looki"
Gaunt now seized a heavy bar of
wood and with the strength Of despair
ripped open two Of the bars of Joan's
cage. Then he and his pals pulled
the unconscious Joan out of her i'm

Didn't Look Mich Like Hard
Times in Western Canada.

A, Meyer, who left one of the best
Counties in Minnesota, probably be-
cause he got a good price for his ex-
cellent farm. and left for the Canadian
West, writes to his local paper, the
Bagley Independent. His story is well
worth repeating. He says:
