Captain Davis, of Boise, repub-
lican candidate for governor, is
8 ending his announcements
broadcast over the state at pres
ent and appears to be going to
make a strenuous campaign for
the nomination. The captain is
not very well known in the north
but among the few who do know
him are some who claim he is not
quite heavy enough for the job
of governor. If this is the case
he should be side-tracked at an
early date, as it is going to take
a pretty big man to defeat Nose
Alexander next fall. The gov
ernor is not only an astute bust
ness man and shrewd politician
but has the ability to get onto
the right side of some of the
most popular movements of the
day and is going to be a pretty
hard man to defeat. 1t is up to
the republicans of the state to
trot out their best men and not
let too many weaklings get into
the race or Governor Nose will
come home again with the bacon.

That Cottonwood has one of

years in material betterments
for this community and town.
That Orofno is preparing to

That if you want the rural mail

That Charles Braddish, Civil

to pay cut hundreds of millions
for pensions after the war is
over.
That a belated train over in

SAVED TO STATE.

To make a political issue, Re-
publican editors point to the fact
that the saving of $350,0O0 falls
far short of Governor Alexan-
der's promises during his cam
paign for election. 7 h e
people can point with pride to
the fact that this saving has
been made by one lone democrat,
unsupported by others of that
belief in state office, and in the
face of republican opposition.
Again the saving shows over and
above a republican administration
record, in the face of assertions
that costs of governments are on
the increase rather than the de-
crease.
Savings in costs of administra-
ton are never popular with poll
ticians, even to members of the
same belief. Political patronage
requires thousands in extra tax
es. State levies have this year
been less and will be for next
year. Moses Alexander is en-
titled to credit. One Office in
particular in the state has CO.
operated with the governor ir
efficient and economical admin.
istration and that is the state
treasurer's Office, of which a re-
publican, Mr.. Eagleson is the
head. The latter is entitled tt
his share of praise. The fish
and game department also makes
a good showing. -Grangevil!t

NO RACIAL LINES
FOR CINCINNATI SCHOOLS

Cincinnati, Ohio.-There will be
no drawing of the color line in the
Walnut High School. as was de-
manded by white pupils on threat
of Withdrawing in a body from that
institution. Fifty of them walked
I out, but returned to leave the mat
ter to arbitration. But superin-
tendent of Schools Condor declares
there will be elimination of colored
pupils.
ITO do 40 would not only be
violation of law, but also at var
lance with the spirit of our public
schools, said DIR. Condor. There
are about ten colored students and
about one hundred whites.
The trouble originated, it is said
in a misunderstanding growing out
of the failure of colored student
10 make the football team, and the
matter developed to an extent that
.precipitated a fstic combat be-
tween the white and colored boys.
Several of the white boys were
struck, one of them having a pro-
bable fracture of the nose. That
the combat was participated in by
number of colored men not con.
nected with the school is charge
made by the white boys.
Principal Henshaw stated that
there was no rule or custom barr
ipg colored d boys from the athletic
teams, and said that some Of the
star members of various teams
we're colored, including Tull, catch
er on the baseball team. MIR. Hem
shaw does not b lleve there will be
any serious result and that the
matter will be adjusted satisfac-
torlly in short while.
The colored boys, while greatly
in the minority, have STOOD brave
ly by their guns, and have not al
lowed themselves to be browbeaten
or coerctd They are making "a
manfnl stand for rights guaran-
iced under the law, and they have

A SOUTHERNER'S VIEW
OF THE NEGRO

The Negro properly instructed
aud trained possesses qualities that
are attractive, and useful to the
white man. A realization of his
position is absolutely necessary for
the development of the new spirit.
Heretofore we have taken the view
that the Negro is antagonistic; that
he is pushing, and that we have to
keep him down instead of helping
him up. This is untrue. 1t is the
Negro with an education, the Ne
gro who has gained culture and
wants more, who will help us to
solve tina: great problem which SO
many of us look to with fear. 1t
is cooperation that we need. and
this cooperation can only be de-
rived from the educated black man,
who is able to understand our
point of view, and who can make
his brother understand it. 1t is

$50 far as | have seen America,
it is the supreme country of the
world except in one thing:
st does not know that the meas
ure of a man is his character and
his learning. America is the only
country in the world where race
and color are counted against ii
man, no matter what he is other
wise.
"sWhen your country learns that
the color of a mans skin does not
matler-tbat all hearts are. the
same color-then your country will
be the greatest country OF the
earth" Qualo Glorghis.

20' is George Gabriel. For some
time he has been working as porter
in the Grand Central station aud
attending school at night. Georges
real name is nothing other than
Qualo Glorghis of Ads Ababa,
Abyssinia. The most remarkable
thing about Gabriel is that be
speaks eighteen different langnag-
es. He is hired as porter, but
often the stationmaster has to cali
him and ask what many of the i'm
migrants are trying to say. A dis
tracted woman approached the sta.
tionmaster few days ago and said
something to him. An interpreter
was summoned and tried eleven
different languages epd failed.
The poor woman pointed to trains
and wept, pulling her hair.
Then the stationmaster sent for
Gabriel Although his color seems
to bar him from the position of in
terpreter, nevertheless when the
white man fails he is sent for, al
though he is porter" and draw
ing starvation wage. He listen
ed to the woman and then jabbered
something and she went away
smiling. Grbriel knows German,
English, French, Russian, Greek,
Polish, Slavisn, Turkish, Armen-
ian, Bohemian, Bulgarian, Syrian,
Indian and five African dialects.
That is enough to land him the po-
sition as interpreter. He will talk
toyou only after persuasion. He
holds that all men are free and
equal. and ones skin has nothing
to do with his soul.
He hasn't any desire to remain
on these shores. He will return 10
Austria after the war and take his
wife and two sons, John and
George, back to Abyssinia, and
write book in his native tongue
about what he has seen aud learned
in his travels. Speaking OF his
life he said: II drifted away from
my mother when l was 10 years old
and have never seen her since.

was committed at the asylum and
