THE REPUBLICAN TREND.
(st. Louis Globe-Democratl

(St Louis Globe Democracy
The results of the canvass conduct
ed by the Washington bureau of the
New York Sun, to ascertain the ,enti-
ment of the country in respect to re-
publican candidates for president, are
Of interest more as an indication OF
the trend Of thought and feeling with
in the party than as a revelation OF
personal preferences; and this not
withstanding the fact that the trend
has been apparent to intelligent OBJ
servers for many months. Principles,
In a democracy, are always more i'm
portant than personalities, and it is
the principles Of the republican party
that have won its BATTLES and achiev-
ed it's triumphs. 1t was an internal
war of personalities that caused its
downfall in 1912 The foundations of
the party were neither disturbed nor
involved until men rather than beliefs
became the overpowering issue. And
in the division which followed the
differences of principle were more APP
parent than real. Fundamentally the
progressives were never far away
from the republicans. They develop
ed some novel theories of popular and
governmental powers and duties which
were distinguishing decorations of a
platform that retained the essential
elements of republicanism.
So it was that when the personal
element Of contention was removed by
dual defeat they began at once to
drop back into the places they had
but temporarily vacated They had
never been, at heart, anything else
than republicans, even in their bitter
est moods, and they did not stultify
themselves nor strain their com
sciences by returning And now, hav-
ing got together again, the party is,
naturally, somewhat disposed to con-
'ervatism. This tendency has been
apparent for some time and the Suns

ties commission called on e. K. Calvin,
vice president and general manager OF
1.-THE Oregon Short Line. yesterday, to
talk over conditions in general In the
Gem state and incidentally asked for
an extension Of pass privileges 81 far
as Idaho state officials are concerned
Some Of the state officials have been
granted passes by the Short Line and
the commission suggested that the ex-
tension Of the courtesy to all state Of
ficiais would be acceptable, and also
save the state a considerable amount
OF money during the course OF year.
Mr.. Calvin took the matter under adj
visement and will make known his de-
cision in few days. Included In the
party OF visitors were Axel p. Ram
stedt, J. w. Graham and A. l.. Free
hafer. members Of the commission; E.
H. Barber, secretary Of the commits
sion. and Joel L. Priest. general agent
for the Oregon Short Line at Boise"
In the absence of any public denial
of the above statement from the COM
mission 1t must be accepted as correct.
Why should the Oregon Short Line or
any other transportation company
carry state officials free? If this con-
cession is granted to the state, then it
may be regarded as certain that the
state will be called upon to recipro-
cate in some form or another. The
public utilities commission was Great
ed to regulate the operation of public
service corporations in the state of
Idaho upon the theory that the people
would receive direct benefit in the way
of fair and equitable rates for service.
II this theory is correct and the COM
mission is performing its duties faith
fully then the people can we'll afford
to pay the expenses Of state officials
when travelling on official business.
Certainly the people of Idaho will not
approve Of the action of the utilities
commission in representing this great
state as a mendicant seeking charity
at the hands of great railroad COM
pany The situation is most humiliat-
ing to the proud people of this great
state. Without questioning the hon
esty Of purpose Of the commission or
any state official who accepts this
courtesy from the railroad company
1t is nevertheless fact that in deal
ing with the company in an official ca
pacity such officers having annual
passes in their pockets would be more
than human If they were not to some
extent biased in favor of the company.

MEANING OF THE FLAG.

Who are the 'jingoes" who are try
ing to force this country into war with
Germany, to whom Mr. Bryan so fire.
Iquently refers? Perhaps John Wanna
maker is one of them, albeit he lives
in the city of brotherly love and has
heretofore borne the reputation Of be-
ing a peaceably disposed citizen. In
an address to his employees the other
day he said:
"The flag of the United States from
this day on has got to mean more to
nation is not going to ask permission
from any foreign country to travel
across the ocean that belongs to the
whole world, and don't forget that"
The nation that does not defend the
rights of its citizens at home and
abroad, on land and on sea, does not
deserve to exist and will in the enc
rail- q prey to those nations whose
flags symbolic those rights and the
power to maintain them at any cost.
The people Of this country do not want
war, but If war must come they want
to be prepared for 1t. In this respect
they not only want the best navy that
modern genius can devise and stand
ing army in keeping with the import
ance Of this great nation, together with
adequate coast defenses and vast
supply of munitions of war, but they
also want a system of military train
ing that shall begin in the public
school and end with making every
male citizen an available soldier and
impress upon him that his first duty
is to his country. that the uniform of
the army and navy is a mark of hon
orable service, and that It is noble t.
live and glorious to die in defense Of
his country. That's what the flag
means.

DESTROYING THE BRYAN MYTH.
(New York SUM

Despite the easily understandable
efforts of the administration at Wash.
ington to conceal the more humiliat-
ing indiscretions and positive impro-
prieties committed by William j
Bryan in the months which were his
term in the state department, the
truth is coming out. In the matter OF
his rash communications to Ambassa-
dor Dumba, much Of it is known.
There is not an American who win
not blush for the Misrepresentation as
he gives thanks that the menace of
incompetence, fatuous vanity and ig-
norance has finally passed.
Mr.. Bryans violations of precedent
and lack Of respect for convention
were embarrassing. His meddlesome
disposition, his futile desire to i'm
press his own fantastic ideals on a
world he knew nothing of, were OBJ
structive to the orderly administration
of the nations affairs. His private
notifications and alterations Of pub
lie documents, his whispered assur-
anoes that the president was a truck
Ter to uniformed sentiment and
chief magistrate guilty of atroclous
duplicity, hindered the intelligent pro-
tects Of honorable craftsmanship and
exposed our diplomatic correspond
ence to the contempt of powers with
which our government engaged in
serious negotiations
Not because it believed Mr.. BRYAN
should be spared, but for the sake of
American self-esteem, the Sun has
hoped that the full measure of his
shortcomings might be unrevealed be-
yond the small circle which were ne
cessarily cognizant of them. But thr
Importance of the effects of his inju-
iicious and unwise acts produced has
the possibility of completely
hiding them. The publication of the
more notorious Of his offendings may ,
rave two good results: It should es-
ablish even in the most benighted of
lis partisans an understanding OF his 8
lnfitness for official place, and by its
cumulative effect 1t must DESTROY. 7
1t still is entertained. the :
otion that William ]. Bryan is com '
etent to admonish, advise or instruct I
Is fellow citizens.

eoRAH AND THE PRIMARY.
(Pocatello Tribune)

The other day, at the republican
session in Boise, Senator Borah said
There are some things upon which
would not compromise, and the pri.
mary is one Of them"
While most Of the people Of Idaho
are staunch believers in Senator
Borah, as are ourselves, not all Oh
them can quite quite subscribe to the
process as advanced by the senator
regarding the primary.
In all friendly argument II would
seem that the senator has forgotten a
few things, in face of the fact that he
processes so much fondness for the
primary. Two years ago the senator
was not very much Of stalwart for
the primary, and did not support the
selected at that primary.

A POETIC PRosPEcToR.
Old Nevada Location Notice Written
in Rhyme.

While prospecting the hills of Gran
lite range in Nevada the following To-
cation notice. dated June IL, 1889, was
found by Billy" O'Brien. Presum-
ably the bit of paper had been blown
for some distance, as the ground
about the discovery bore no evidence
OF being mineralized. While the paper
was somewhat torn, the writing was
easily deciphered, though the name of
the author of the poetical effusion had
been completely obliterated. Mr..
O'Brien brought the paper to town,
and he is authority for the authentic
ity Of its discovery. 1t reads:
Location Notice-"We the under
signed men of worth just to show we
are on the turf, do hereby locate for
ourselves alone, 1900 feet radius
around this stone, together with min
eral and water rights, all placer lands
and townsite. We claim all lodges
and veins within our lines, of grass
gold and other mines, and all coal and
oil as well, from the top of sagebrush
Town to hell, and all the air and sun
shine, too, up to where the sky shines
blue"

INVOCATION.

(Wendell Phillips Stafford)
o Thou whose equal purpose runs
In drops of rain or streams Of suns,
And with a soft compulsion rolls
The green earth on her snowy poles;
o Thou who keepest in thy ken
The times Of flowers. the dooms of
men,
Stretch out a mighty wing above
Be tender to the land we love!
If all the huddlers from the storm
Have found her hearthstone wide and
warm;
If she has made men free and glad,
Sharing, with ALL the good she had;
II she has blown the very dust
From her bright balance to be just,
Oh, spread mighty wing above
Be tender to the land we love!
When in the dark eternal tower
The star clock strikes her trial hour,
And for her help no more avail
Her sea blue shield, her mountain
mail.
Her sweeping wide, from Gulf to Lakes
The battle on her forehead breaks,
Throw Thou thunderous wing above,
Be lightning for the land we love.

WILSON AND BRYAN.
Colonel George Harvey in North Am
erican Review

Colonel George Harvey In North Am
erican Review
1t is impossible to withhold from
Mr.. Wilson a very considerable meas
ure of responsibility for his own pre-
mier's ruthless tempting of fate. He
Appointed Mr.. Bryan secretary of
state with full knowledge of his men
tai incompetency and of his moral de-
linquencies. Excuse for the selection
was found in the presidents presumed
obligation to the man who achieved
Ibis nomination at Baltimore, but none
knew better than Mr.. Wilson himself
THAT no such debt existed as a conse-
Iquence Of any intention on the part
|of Mr.. Bryan; none knew better than
he that the very contamination so
Gratifying to himself was the result Of
a base a betrayal of trust as ever
STAINED the annals Of American poll
tics; and yet he accorded him the
highest honor within his gift and has
since lauded to the skies Mr.. Bryan's
character his justice, his sincerity,
his transparent integrity, his Christian
principle and so on ad nauseam.
Let us recall for moment the in
stance to which we have referred as
the chief indication Of Mr. Bryans
possession Of these admirable attri-
butes which confronted Mr.. Wilson.
Q) Mr.. Bryan demanded and obtain
ed in Nebraska primaries for the cleo
tion of delegates to the Baltimore
convention who should pledge them
selves to heed the instructions from
the primaries respecting candidates.
(2) AS a candidate for delegate, he
promised definitely to support either
Clark or Wilson, but announced that
he would not serve If instructed for
Harmon. (3) Clark carried the pri-
maries and Bryan, as an instructed
delegate, accepted his commission. (G
Bryan deserted Clark as soon as
Clark obtained a majority of the votes
in the convention and seemed certain
to be nominated, upon the ground that
he must be unworthy as he had re-
ceived the vote of New York. 90
Bryan proposed several candidates
who were obviously unavailable, care
fully excluding Mr. Wilson's name
from his list. (6) Wilson was nomin-
ated, not in consequence of Bryans
support, but in spite of his subtle eff
forts to the contrary CD Bryan urg-
ed the nomination of Clark for vice
president--of the self-same Clark
whom he had pronounced unworthy Of
the presidency, to which as vice presi-
dent he might at any moment succeed
thereby in his fright at possible con-
sequences to himself brazenly belying
his own profession of virtuous oppo-
sition and revealing himself as a self
seeking marplot, disloyal to friend,
a repudiator of his own pledges and a
betrayer of his own people.
With his record of perfidy before /
his eyes President Wilson took Bry-
an to his bosom rather than have him I
on the back" and extolled him to Am
erican youth as the embodiment of !
Character, justice, sincerity, trans
parent integrity and Christian prin-
ciple." If now he has discovered that
the Prophet Isaiah spoke truly when
he said that which is crushed break
eth out into a viper" and later shall
learn with Job that "the viper's ton
que shall slay him." can any but him
self be held to blame?

NEW TIMES.

Games Russell LowelD
New times demand new measures and
new men;
The world advances and in time out
grows.
The laws that in our fathers days
were BEST
And doubtless, after us some purer
scheme
Will be shaped out by wiser men than
we,
Made wiser by the steady growth Of
truth.
The time is ripe and rotten ripe, for
change;
Then let it come; have no dread Of
what
Is called for by the instinct of man.

Nor think that Gods world would
fall apart
Because we tear parchment more or

Truth is eternal, but her effluence,
With endless change, is fitted to the
hour;
Her mirror is turned forward to re-
fleet
The promise of the future, not the
past.

THE FINAL NOTE TO GERMANY.

The case OF the United States
against Germany is admirably sum
med up and stated in the third note
which was dispatched last week. The
president and secretary of state used
no surplus words in reiterating the
position taken by this government,
and while couched In friendly Ian
guage, It Is firm and unyielding on
every point for which this government
has contended, Expressions from the
press in all parts Of the country and
Iof all shades of political opinion, with
the exception of few German Amer
lean newspapers. commend the note in
the warmest terms, and reflect the
feeling that is practically universal
that the note accurately conveys the
American sentiment ON this grave is
sue. There is no phase of the ques-
ton with which the people are not ia
miliar and their cordial support Of
the president in this critical contro-
versy represents the sane, osber and
deliberate judgment Of the nation. The
refusal of the German government to
laccede to the demands of the United
States may mean war, and certainly
will mean breaking OF friendly re-
lations in the event that the rights of
American citizens are violated on
the sea. This is thoroughly under
stood by the American people and
they are ready to accept the conse-
quences of the presidents act The
questions Involved are vital to the
welfare of this nation, and all the
power Of the nation, If necessary, will
be invoked in support of the position
taken by the president.
The spirit in which the note has
been received by Germany, judged by
the tone of the leading newspapers Of
the empire. is not reassuring, and 1t is
not improbable that reply will be re-
turned that will precipitate crisis In
the strained relations that exist be-
tween the two nations. The success
that has followed the murderous war
fare waged by the kaiser seems to
have imbued him and in great meas
ure the German people with the notion
that no earthly power can successfully |
resist the onward sweep of the Teu-
tonic legions, and that the Almighty
himself is leading them to certain VIC
tory over their allied foes. In this
'rame Of mind 1t is not to be expected
hat the kaiser can be prevailed upon
70 recognize and respect human laws
hat govern all other civilized nations
n the conduct Of war. He is carry
ng out mandate from on high to
iermanize the world, and in the ex-
'rcise of this divine commission the
lights Of neutrals are nothing, and the
murder OF innocent men, women and
hildren not worth discussing. II
If the reply of Germany to the last /
ote is in effect a contemptuous def I
nee Of the rights of neutrals main
aimed by the president. It Is safe to
ssume that President Wilson will s
lake the first violation Of those rights 4

When Frank Begosek, a Ravens dale coal miner, was examined by lunacy commission and found not insane, he was ordered sent to the county hospital to recuperate for d few days At the same time another patient from the jail was found in sane and ordered to Steilacoom.
 The deputy sheriff in charge of the two prisoners misunderstood the orders and reported to the jail of ficials that both men were crazy" and had been ordered to Steilacoom.
