M EN- ORAL DAY.

Through the patriotic devotion OF
the Women's Relief Corps, Memorial
day was observed in this city In Z
manner appropriate to the sacred oc-
Icasion. Flowers were cast upon the
water in memory of those who me-
death in serving their country In the
navy and flags and flowers were plac-
ed on the graves of those who had
served on land. The few survivors of
that grand army that saved the Union
who reside here were present, as was
also one grlzzled veteran of the south
ern army who is always a welcome
comrade among the boys who wore the
blue, After the ceremonies at the
river and cemetery, a splendid dinner
was served the veterans by the relief
corps, and following this an excellent
program was rendered at the opera
house
There was a large attendance, bu

stated. It was largely made up of
women. This unfortunately is usually |

The story of the purchase of Alas
ka and the discovery and development
of its riches, undreamed of at the
time the purchase was made, is one
of the most interesting chapters In the
history of our country's territorial eN
pansion. To say that it's riches We're
undreamed of is not strictly correct.
for there were men IN congress at the
time the treaty with Russia transfer
ring the territory was under discus
sion, who seem in a measure to have
grasped the possibilities of that vast
expanse, and we believe that Secretary
Seward felt that Alaska would be i'm
mensely valuable to the United States
and that he was influenced by this as
well as a desire to pay debt of
friendship to Russia. The story of the
ratification of this treaty is told in
another column, written by James q.
Blaine in his Twenty Years of Con-
gress.' 1t is a most interesting story
and the comments of congressman
shows the prevailing sentiment OF the
time toward Alaska.
At this time when Russia is engaged

great company of vanishing things we

vanguard of which is in eternity. The

little while yet we shall experience all
the zest and hustle of marching feet
The swift running seasons, like cour-

THEN AND NOW.

This scholarly passage on newspa-
per ethics is taken from our esteemed
morning contemporary, the Press
Times, of last Sunday, being a pre-
lude to mastery defense of Mr..
Beale in reply to certain structures
directed at him by this paper
There has been for some time All
unmistakable trend of the American
press toward cleaner discussion of is
sues. and the elimination of the per-
sonal equation In editorial utteranees.
Measures, not men, have been the pre-
vaiiing thought, evolved by a cleaner
ethics and induced by fairer concep-
ton of the rights and privileges of
others.
DO we elect men to Office only that
we might suspect them? Are men the
less courageous, and of less integrity
because called upon to serve the
public? Is no man who consents to
sacrifice for the public good to be
free from the attacks of the character
assassin? Is it to be the custom t.
tear down the character of every good
citizen who does not yield himself to
the demands of the avarice and greed
of political gangsters?"
The only comment we have to make
on the above is to recall to the mind
of the reader the editorials that ap-
peared in the same paper and penned
by the same hand during the week or
two preceding the city election last
month. Inslnuations of graft were dl-
rected at the mayor and council, with
out the slightest shadow of evidence
to support it. They were accused of
the peoples money, when
the public record open to the inspee-
ton Of all proved the contrary. Init
nations were made that the books of
the city treasurer would show lrregu-
larities If not shortage, without the
slightest foundation of fact for basis
A campaign of Islander and utilization
was made against officers of the city
and candidates for reelection which
had no other purpose than to discredit
them in the eyes of their fellow citi-
zens, and without any regard whatever
for the issues Of the campaign, the
high character of the men assailed or
the measures for which they stood.
And now this same sheet, having done
Its worst in attempting to defame the
character of men who refuse to do it's
bidding, suddenly assumes a hlgn
moral tone and prates about "meas-
lres, not men," being the proper sub
ect of newspaper discussion. But this
sudden change of front deceives no
me. for the leopard cannot change its
pots.

year the appeal to the patriotic spirit
is even stronger than ever before. be-
cause no man can foresee what
changes the next few weeks or months
may make In our relations with the
warning nations of Europe. Who
knows but that we may become in
yolyed In that conflict, and If so 1t be-
hooyes US to so impress the present
generation with the spirit of 81 thar

RoRAH AND THE PRESIDENCY.
Former Wallace Man Thinks He May
Secure Nomination.

CBoise Capital News.)
United States Senator w. E. Boraf
looms on the republican political hori-
zon as probably the most prominent
and strongest presidential timber OF
he republican party so far mentioned
or whose name has been linked with
the nomination judging from the
tatement made here today by James
A. Ford of Spokane, secretary to Unit
ed States Senator Poindexter of
Washington. Mr. Ford stopped over
in Boise while en- route from Wash
ington to the inland empire metropolis.
He is one of the best known newspa-
permen in the intermountain country,
Prior to accepting the secretaryship
with Senator Poindexter he was on
the staff of the Spokesman Review
1t is not believed by Mr.. Ford that
the geographical situation of Idaho
raised as barrier against a man from
the west for the presidential nomlna
tion, will work to the disadvantage OF
Idaho's favorite son. as has been ar
gued Mr.. Ford said at first he wa.
inclined to take this view, but after a
year and four months in Washington
he had changed his mind. In the east
he found Senator Borah very highly
spoken of and in Washington he Is
looked upon as q man of great ability
and power.

TO PAVE RESIDENCE SECTION.

A petition Is being circulated this
week asking the city council 10 pave
Bank, Cedar, Pine and River streets
and all cross streets from Fifth tc
First, inclusive. TIE paving of the
business section Las proved so bene-
fetal and added so much to the at
tractye appearance of the city that
the feeling of opposition which was
first manifested by large majority
OF the people concerned has almost
wholly disappeared, and in lis stead
there Is a sentiment apparently equally
strong In favor of paving lie residence
section Of the city above described.
The paving Of the residence part of
the city will not be as expensive as
was the business section. 1t viii not
be subjected to the heavy traffic ana
will therefore not require the thick
rock base and probably the bitulithic
layer will not have to be so thick. II
is also proposed to reduce the width
of the roadway on all cross streets ex-
cept Fifth, and also the width of Bank,
Pine and River west of Fourth street,
this of course applying only to those
parts of Bank and River where the
present roadway is the standard width.
It is proposed to leave Cedar stree.
the full width as at present.
The recent rains have resulted in
making a striking contrast between
paved and unpaved streets, ana the
feeling now is that while the ola
streets might have been good enough
while we had no paving, now that we
have had the benefit of paved streets
in one part of the city, there is no
longer any effective argument against
paving the residence section. In fact,
paved streets have come to be re-
garded as necessity. They add 10
the beauty of the city, eliminate dust
facilitate traffic and improve the sani-
tary condition. The first cost is no,
heavy and those who desire NAV taka
advantage of long time payments.

that act on the part Of Russia, particu-
larly since the same friendly attitude
has always been maintained. AL
though our system and ideals of gov
eminent are directly opposed to those
of Russia, there is nevertheless a bono
of sympathy between the two govern
ments which should last for all time.
