the Iowa senator, but after voting for
him once and If no one receives the
nomination, then the delegates from
Montana are free to vote as they
please. For this privilege, that Is, for
the privilege of expressing a prefer
ence for a presidential candidate who
has only a remote chance of being
nominated and for the further privi-
lege of forcing the delegates elected to
cast the vote of the state once in
support of this candidate the people
of Montana paid approximately $780,
900, according to careful and conserv-
alive estimates In Silver Bow coun-
ty, in which is located Butte, the cost
of the presidential primary was about
$4,000, and as only 1000 votes were
cast, it will be seen that each vote
cost the county 1915.
In contrast with this modern reform
method of selecting delegates is the
process in Idaho in which the old con-
vention plan prevails. The late con-
vention in Twin Falls is said to have
been one of the largest and most rep
resentatiye gatherings in the history
of the state. A delegation was elect
ed to the Chicago convention against
which not one word of criticism has
been heard and they will go to the
convention free from instructions and
in position to act as their judgment
dictates for the best interests of the
people of Idaho. And this result was
accomplished without one cent of ex-
pense to the taxpayers of the state
One of these days the people will turn
against the primary folly and return
to the representative system through
conventions which is the nearest APP
proach to carrying out the will of the
voters that has ever been devised.

STAR ANTHONY.

The Star Anthony company, on
Pine creek. is hauling ore from the
mine to the main Pine creek wagon
road, where 1t is being piled to await
improvement in the condition Of the
road before undertaking to haul it to
the railroad for shipment. Much of
the ore is being hand jigged and when
all that is now on the dump is clean
ed up there will probably be full car
load available. The ore is of ex-
cellent grade, and at present prices or
anthony the owners receive good
profit in spite of the expense of sort
ing and jigging and hauling to the
railroad. The company is incorporat-
ed and Is largely owned in Kellogg,
a liberal interest being held by the
original owners of the ground, Theo-
dore Brown and John Finnel.

Delegation To the Democratic Con-

Why all this argument as to whether
the Day hand-ricked county conyen-

the delegation to the Pocatello con-

defeat Robert H. Elder for reelection
as national committeeman for Idaho ?
OF course they will do that, for they
are elected for no other purpose. The
Days having been thoroughly routed
by the Nugent- Elder Pence faction in
the state committee, hope to retrieve
their losses in the state convention.

have the delegation from Shoshone

this has been accomplished requires
no further evidence than to read the
list. Here are a few samples OF the

HUGHES is THE HIGH MAN.

As the date of the republican ma
tional convention draws near the drift
of republican sentiment throughout the
country becomes stronger toward the
nomination Of Justice Hughes. While
there are radicals among the pro-
gressives who continue to shout for
Roosevelt and insist that he Is the on
ly pilot that can guide the ship OF
state from the perilous rocks and
shoals which now threaten her, their
appeals receive little response from the
men in the ranks who are lining up in
solid phalanx with the party of their
first allegiance and are using their in
fuence In support of the nomination Of
man who will command the support
of a united party. Progressives who
have burned their bridges behind them
and republicans who have proved false
| to the best traditions of the grand old
party may continue to clamor for the
colonel, but 1t will accomplish nothing.
republican will be nominated by the
republican convention.
The most significant expression Of
the sentiment of republicans through
out the country was recently obtained
by the Literary Digest. A poll of re-
publican members of state legislatures
was obtained, fifteen hundred replies
having been received from thirty one
states. Three candidates received
four -fifths of the votes in the follow
ing order
Hughes, 75S.
Roosevelt, 275.
Root, 1873.
ures that Hughes received a majority
of the votes cast, and that he received
almost twice as many as Roosevelt
and Root combined. Another signifi-
cant fact is that among the 81 states
in the poll, only Minneso-
ia, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyo-
ming gave Roosevelt more votes than
1t certainly looks like
Hughes would be the man, and if
nominated he will be elected by an
majority.

ANOTHER DEWEY DAY VICTORY

(St Louis Globe Democracy
Representative Jones chose an un-
| fortunate day on which to ask the
house to pass his PHILIPPINE bill, with
the Clarke amendment providing for
turning the islands loose within two
to four years. 1t was the eighteenth
anniversary of the glorious victory of
Dewey at Manila. The congressman
must have felt sense Of shame that
such a proposal should be made on
such a day. The coWardly ground on
! which the bill was urged was enough
| to defeat it. The only marvel is that
so few democrats had the courage to
ignore White House orders and vote
against the measure and instruct the
house conferees to Withstand all eff
forts to set date for PHILIPPINE in
dependence.
When Mr. Jones reported the BILL
he explained that the purpose was to
get rid of the PHILIPPINES as a matter
of prudence. Not a word about the
little brown brothers, the declaration
of independence or other sentimental
reasons pleaded by the democrats in
the campaign of 1900 Mr.. Jones said
that the islands would be liability in
case of war and that inclusion of their
protection in plan of national de-
Tense would cost us considerable mon
ey. Reduced to plain language, the
PHILIPPINES were to be abandoned as a
matter of cowardice and economy.
There may have been other reasons.
but these were the ones avoWed. It
Is possible that the date was fixed so
as to make scuttle irrevocable, the ad-
ministration realizing its uncertain
tenure. PHILIPPINE independence is the
one thing in the Baltimore platform
that the minority party, accidentally in
power, feels under obligation to carry
out, although when that was the para
mount issue before the country it was
defeated by S49,790 plurality There
may have been mixed motives in the
vote of the thirty democrats who join
ed the united republicans in voting
against the bill. But the country will
applaud the result.

There is a great deal of fiubdub and
sickly nonsense being preached just
now about the horrors of general pre-

to avoid his plain duty.
1t is widely welcomed because it
gives the shirk chance to hide his
slackness hypocritically under the
cloak of righteousness, and allows him
to mouth the cheap, fallaceous senti-
ment that 1t Is hetter to live for ones
country than to die for it.

way really means that he would ra :

THE NORTHERN LIGHT.

Ben G. Harmon, manager of the
Northern Light company of Pine creek
was in the city the first of the week.
He stated that the shaft had been ex-
tended to the 400 and that prepare
tons were being made to crosscut to
the veins. Before this is started, how
ever station must be cut, the pump
lowered and other preliminary ar
rangements completed, which may con-
sumo thirty days before actual cross
cutting begins. This work is now
being done as rapidly as pos
sible, three shifts being employed.
There are two veins on the Northern
Light, both of which have been explor-
ed on the 200 level with satisfactory
results These will now be further
explored on the 400, the first one of
which should be reached within about
l4O feet and the second within It's.

MY KINDoM FOR AN ELEPHANT
(Goodwin's Weekly


An eastern paper has a graphic car
toon of the bull moose mired with his
load, Mr.. Perkins straining to pull him
through and the perspiring colonel
sitting by the wayside wiping his brow
and calculating my kindom for an
elephant" No doubt his mind turns
lovingly to the old G. o. P. elephant
these days. He would no doubt be
willing to pledge his honor that if the
old reliable elephant would but once
more lift him on his trunk, he would
never betray him again. The trouble
with the colonel is that his memory is
bad The chances are fifteen to six
teen that If that were done, it would
not be three months before the colonel
would be saying that it was he who
lifted the elephant out of the mire;
that he did not heed him in the least,
but came to his rescue out of pure

THE TUscUM 6IA.

Gus Ehrenberg was up from Spo-
kane the first of the week and 1t is
announced that while here he arrang-
ed to start the Idora mill on Tuscum-
hia ore at once He and Albert Nell
son have lease on the Tuscumbia
mine and the Idora mill. They were
forced to suspend operations during
the winter, but in the meantime much
has been accomplished in the way of
blocking out ore in the mine under the
direction of Mr.. Nelson. Additions
have also been made to the mill which
will insure closer recovery of the
zinc, thus overcoming what is said to
have been a serious loss heretofore.
Altogether the mine and mill appear
to be in excellent condition for pro-
ftable run this year.

THE PRESIDENT AND GERMANY.

The position taken by President
Wilson with reference to the reply OF
Germany to his last note is correct
and will no doubt receive the ap-
prevail of the country. There are
some things in the German reply
which are not pleasing and which I'M
der any other circumstances would
merit strong rebuke, but since the
kaiser has complied with the demand
Of the United States in the manner of
conducting submarine warfare and
has given instructions to submarine
commanders accordingly, this govern
ment can do nothing but accept his
promise and await developments. If
Germany again violates its promise
to give warning to merchant vessels
before sinking them, then the presi-
dent proposes to sever diplomatic re-
lations at once without further notice
This position now taken by the pres
ident Is correct, but it should have
been taken more than a year ago
When the Lusitania went down the
president should have forced the issue
and compelled Germany to do what
she has done now, recognize and re-
spect the rights of neutrals under in
ternatlonal law.
If 1t Is true, and it is being persist
emily stated, that the kaiser is in
mood to negotiate for peace and has
actually made overtures to the pope
to prepare the way in conjunction
with the king of Spain, then it is al
together likely that his latest subma-
rine promise will be observed and
that there will be no further cause for
friction with this government; but If
he is not seeking peace and is still
planning to carry on the war until one
side or the other is crushed, then we
may expect his submarine promise to
be OF no binding value and that II will
be brutally disregarded just as 1t has
been in the past. In that event the
president viii have no other option
than to hand the German ambassador

AND STILL WE WATCH AND
WAIT.

The conference between the Ameri-
can and Mexican generals had hardly
adjourned when another raid upon
Americans on American soil was made
by a band of Mexican outlaws, in
which several American soldiers and
civilians were murdered and property
destroyed, And still the president
continues to listen to the protests
from Carranza against the presence of
American troops in Mexico and to
take seriously his repeated assertions
that he is in position to run down the
outlaws and give ample protection to
the people along the border. And as
If to encourage a continuation of this
murderous warfare against Ameri-
cans, a democratic congress continues
to delay action on the most pressing
question now before the country, that
of preparedness, in spite of the fact
that the punitive expedition now in
Mexico has afforded an object lesson
that seems to have impressed every
body with our military helplessness
except the democratic majority in
congress. 1t required week or more
to get the expedition equipped and
started into Mexico, a week which al
lowed Villa and his bandit followers
to scatter and secure themselves in
the mountains. And it now requires
every available soldier in
the United States to protect the line
connecting the punitive expedition
with its base, leaving the border with
out sufficient protection, as is shown
by the recent raid in Texas.
But this humiliating condition seems
to be just what the majority of demo-
cratic congressman want. Only this
week the senate amendment to the /
bill providing for standing
army of 100000 men was promptly re-
iected in the house and provision for
100000 men substituted. Could any
hing be more ridiculous? Evidently
his country will never be placed In a
of preparedness for self-de-
'ense until democracy is driven from
power
