RETURN FROM THE BORDER.

The Journal information OF last
week which prompted the statement
that the Idaho boys on the border
would likely pass through Shoshone
Saturday or Sunday seems to have
been a little premature and from the
best information now obtainsble they
will pass here today or Saturday.
They have left camp and are now on
their way but irregular train service
makes it impossible to determine just
when they will likely arrive.
Upon their arrival they viii bs
taken to Boise and auartered in the
barracks until they are mustered out
OF service. which. il Is reported. will
require two or three weeks time.
Boise is planning to give the boys
hearty reception and make their
stay in the city as pleasant as pos
sible. Boise may always be counted
upon TO do her share and more in any
enterprise that requires public spirit
and push. Her commercial club and
her ladies' organization known as The
Columbian Club are two organizations
that never fail TO respond to public
needs and make every citizen OF the
state feel proud OF the capital city.

no precedents Established The con-
stitution was being interpreted by
these men and the foundation laid
for all future time. An error COM
mitted by them would be perpetuated
as a precedent for many years or pos
responsibility which falls TO but few
men. and the fact that Judge Sullivan
has been retained for so many years
on this bench is a tribute OF which
not only he but the entire state may
well feel proud The fundamental
principles OF the Idaho constitution
have been marked out and defined By
him and his associates The present
legal structure of the state rests upon
the foundation they have builded. and
experience indicates that il has been
