WILL ALEXANDER RUN?
(Nampa Leader Heraldl

There is growing rumor that Alex.
ander Will not again seek the demo.
cratic nomination for governor. The
Leader Herald is hardly disposed tc
credit this rumor, yet 1t may have
foundation in fact. He is the most
adroit politician in the state and
works at the game more than anv
ether man in the state.
Ii he finds that public sentiment ia
running against him he will doubtless
get from under. Yet with all his
keenness as a politician he is blinded
by insufferable egotism and It will he
hard Tor him to see that the people
are tired of him even if that be true
Then again are the people really tired
OF him? That is not certain. There
seems to be large element that
thinks man is a great governor If
ne puts in his time running around
the state attempting to array one
class OF citizens against another and
S ' "H"t a BItdL man their
chief executive" is. He is apparently
IT'LL popular. On the other hand there
s large and growing class of citi-
ems who believe that the chief func-
Ion OF governor is not to advertise
himself, but to attend to the duties
or which the people pay him.
These old-fashloned people have
otion that there are important things
the way of state business which
hould receive a little attention. They !,
an not see why the people should nav
5000 a year to governor to make
'eeches. Their idea is that he should i

BRYAN TELLS WILSON HOW HE
CAN WIN.

President Wilson's former secretary
of State, William Jennings Bryan, is
out with statement outlining just
how the president can make his re-
election sure. This happy achieve
ment, however is only incidental to the
nobler one to which the commoner and
his peaceful cohorts are striving to
accomplish. The president is told that
he has alienated large number of
German and Irish voters and that the
loss of these can only be made up by
recruits obtained from the peace ele-
ment of the republican party. At one
stroke, says the commoner the presi-
dent can destroy all the advantage
of the republican party and make the
race ON the record of a peace maker"
Having deserted the president at a
time when loyal support was most
needed, and having devoted his ener-
gies since that time to undermining
the work of the administration in its
efforts to maintain a position of peace
with honor, it is not likely that the
president will give much attention to
advice coming from that source. Still
Bryan is a factor to be reckoned with
in the democratic party, and his judg-
ment of the prospect for party success
is perhaps entitled to more respect
than that of any other democrat. His
appeal to the president is a public ad-
mission that unless what he terms the
peace element in the republican par
ty' can be induced to vote with the
democratic party, all is lost. Not
very cheering outlook for the democ-
racy. There are not many of the Bry-
IN peace ,at-any- price element in the
party, and If all of them
should go over to the democrats, there
would not be enough of them to save
he democracy from the overwhelming
lefeat that is awaiting it in Novem- |

the malicious attacks made upon the
mine by the Press Times, owned by

has no higher conception of the news

PRACTICAL WORK OF SCHOOL

various branches of mining activity.

...Mother of Nine.


". D. NJ Helmick Pastor of NJ e. Church. Wallace,
Out of the mists of the long ago
Comes vision fair to see;
Nor Summers rains Winters of
Have dimmed that vision to
For that mother of mine was always near;
For that mother of mine was always dear.
The storms ragged fierce round my little bark
In my childhoods helpless years;
And the COLLINS eyes through the cheerless dark
Filled my childish days with fears
But that mother of mine drove the COLLINS away;
But that mother of mine turned night into day.
The mountains of youth were hard to climb,
With SUBMITS far away;
And pathway rough and a tardy Old Time
Invited my feet to stray
Yet that mother of mine took the mountain road;
Yet that mother of mine took the heavy load
Then heart of love SO brave and true,
And smile like bright sunshine
And lips as sweet nectar of dew
Was my heritage divine
Yes that mother of mine had a smile sweet to see
Yes that mother of mine had a smile just for me-
Twas mothers heart and mothers love,
And mothers lips sweet.
And mothers smile lit from above
That guided my hayward feet.
And that mother of mine is still guiding me;
And that mother of mine will stay close to me-
She walked with me till the way was plain
AS manhood's path | trod,
Then she left me- not to return again,
For she had passed under the rod"
O. mother of NINE thou dost not forget;
O. mother of mine, thou dost love me yet
The years may come and the years may 60
And the storms beat hard and long
But that mother face would ever know
Midst the faces of the throng
For that mother of mine is easily known.
For that mother of mine has look all her own
The shadows are stealing across my way,
And the lights are getting dim,
But nothing can tempt my feet astray
From the paths she led me in
That mother of mine is still holding my hand.
Fo that mother of mine is the first in the land
o, mother of mine, O. vision fair

AS the years press down with their toll and care,
And my journeys end l view
