HOW THE PEOPLE RULE IN DEM
ocRATIc PARTY OF IDAHO.

An interesting story comes from
Boise via Pocatello which throws {
flood of light upon the inner work
ings of the democratic party of Idaho
Instead Of permitting the blessed pri
mary to take its course and let thu
faithful fight 1t out for places on the
ticket, it appears that a few of the
higher-ups decided that 1t would bt
good politics to save the party from
an unseemly struggle for preferment
and at the same time make 1t easy to
play a strong hand in nominating re-
publican candidates. The manner In
which the trick was turned was wor-
thy of the much mallgned machine of
the old convention days, and is vivid
ly described in the following from the
Pocatello Tribune:
During the early part of the week,
1t appears from the signs that have
bobbed up. Joe T. Pence, democratic
state chairman, Jim Hawley, former
governor Nose Alexander, who occa-
sionally sits in the governors chair,
and r. II. Stevenson, representative of
the Day interests at Wallace, met in
Boise, and arranged a state ticket
for the innocent Jeffersonians of this
verdant state.
These four dignitaries, being about
all there is left of the democratic par
ty in Idaho, gathered with common
accord and proceeded to put the gar
den mayonnaise over on the rank and
file of the party that admits the guilt
of electing Alexander as governor.
This versatile quartette OF political
matadors named a governor, secretary
of state, and every other office but
superintendent of schools and inspect
or of mines, as the electors ran out of
material, having consumed all the par
ty, and at that the boys got their dates
mixed on the dope sheet for secretary
of state, and pulled two candidates,
which was unfortunate, as 1t but Gre
ates jealousy, and If one OF them gets
sore 1t means the alienation of about
10 per cent of the party next fall.
"At any rate Moses concluded that
his hound could be kicked around
again, this being the third term of the
abuse, and he heads the hosts of the
chasers of the fire fly. His political
assets appear TO be spawned promises,
broken down administration, a minus
million dollar saving and dream of
Derpetuatlon in office.
1T was kind of the forensic four to
PICK out the ticket for the boys, as
hey were not expected to possess the
'oresight or ability to do the Job for

AND STILL VERDuN HAS NOT
BEEN TAKEN.

Some conception of the consumption
of metal since the beginning of the
European war is conveyed by figures
given by a writer in Berlin. Accord
ing to his calculations, in taking hill
No. 304, commanding the approach to
Verdun, the Germans used 81 train
loads Of 40 cars each of shells. He
also states that the actual cost Of the
eight or ten million shells used at
Verdun alone during the past five
months of continuous fighting amount
ed to over $SOOOO0,OOO These stag
gering figures refer to Germany alone.
The value of the shells used by the
French at that point would probably
be somewhat less When one consid-
ers the amount of steel, copper, zinc
and lead required in the manufacture
of these shells, and that verdun is
only one point on continuous battle
lines hundreds of miles in length, the
wonder is that metals could be sup
piled at any price.

LOVE MAY LIFT HIS HEAD.
(James Whitcomb Riley

Games Whitcomb Riley
When over the fair fame of friend or
foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall;
instead
OF words of blame, or proof of thus
and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow being yet
May fall so low but love may lift
his head
Even the cheek of shame with tears Ia
wet
If something good be sold.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so
dead
But may awaken strong and glorified,
If something good be said.
And so / charge We, by the thorny
crown,
And by the cross on which the Saw
ior bled,
And by your own souls hope of fair
renown,
Let something good be said

DIRECTORS
PASS JULY DIVIDEND
BELIEF THAT COMPANY WILL
SOON CLOSE DEAL FOR
A MINE.

The impression prevails that the
Success Mining company is negotiat-
ing for another mine. 1t has been
known for some time that the com
pany has been seeking a lead prop
erty, and the action of the directors In
passing the August dividend is in
some quarters construed to mean that
an announcement will soon follow
that another mine has been purchas-
ed. The company is known to have q
large surplus and there is no doubt
that 1T is earning a profit, but how
much or whether the earnings are
equal to the regular Scent dividend is
not known. If the company is about
to close a deal for another property
1t Is to be expected that it would be-
gin to husband its resources to meet
the payment and take care of other
heavy expenses incidental to taking
over and operating the property.
These are merely matters of specu-
lation, and no light Is thrown on the
subject by the brief statement issued
by the directors at the close of the
meeting last week. The statement is
signed by p. j. Gearon, president and
manager, and here follows:
Pass Monthly Dividend.
"The directors of the Success Min
ing company at meeting today de-
cided to pass the monthly dividend
for an indefinite period. This action
was taken for the reason of the unset
tied price of spelter and the extremely
high cost of operation. There has
been no corresponding reduction in the
cost OF operating and materials to
that of the decline of spelter.
In addition to the ordinary employ
nent of labor at the mine and use of
materials, the company has engaged
heavily in development and explora-
ion of new ore bodies.
The physical condition Of the mine
better now than at any time in the
history of the property.
The reserve funds of the company
re intact and to this will be added
ne net earnings for the present.
This statement is made for publ
alton and a copy Of the same order
d mailed to all stockholders"

Support In North.

I'm announcing my candidacy on
the republican ticket for the office of
attorney general, subject to the COM
ing primaries, / am mindful of the
fact that it Is more difficult for can
didate from one of the northern coun-
ties of the state to obtain nomination
than a candidate from one of the
southern counties. But the prospect
of no inconsiderable support from the
south and assurances of solid support
of the northern counties has prompted
me in making this race. Many feel, as
do, that the northern counties should
be represented in the state govern
ment. This, as we all know, has not
been the case for long time.
Summary of Career.
ITO those who know little or moth
ing about me, 1t may be necessary to
give brief chronology of my activi-
ties in this state. i came to Idaho in
1907, after being graduated at the
George Washington University Law
School in Washington, d. c., in 1905,
and after practicing in the District of
Columbia for about two years. Since
1907 I have been located in Wallace
in the active practice of law and since
1909 In partnership with Mr.. A. III.
Featherstone, who himself has credit
ably served a number of years In the |
state legislature. During the years |
1913 and 1914 served az prosecuting |
attorney Of Shoshone county, being
elected to that Office by the people of
his county. / am admitted to prac-
ice in all of the courts OF this state,
including the federal courts, as also
he supreme court of the District of
and the supreme court of
he United States"

disadvantage from that source seems
to have been overcome by energy dis

his announcement and the primary he

saloons, mostly in Richmond Norfolk

The law is one of the most drastic

No beverage except cider can be sold
that shows a trace of alcohol, and
possession of more than one gallon
of whiskey, one gallon of wine, OF
three gallons Of beer, would be re-

intent to violate the law. This pro
