FROM THE BORDER.
Right Policy Does Not Necessarily
Mean War, But End of Trouble.

A business letter to the Press from
the Mexican border closes with this
reference to affairs there:
But you will be more Interested In
Mexican or Border" affairs. After
months on the border and talks with
Mexicans and fslericans of Mexico and
people of the border who have watched
conditions for years there is only one
verdict TO be rendered. The Wilson
policy" or lack of policy is most de-
plorable; the longer we postpone going
into Mexico or advising strong mea-
sures, so long will the bad conditions
exist and the border be ever menaced.

pot machine shop where | am writing

TRAGIC DEATH OF
PROMINENT ABERDEEN MAN
Tobias Wedel Meets Fatal Injuries at
Sugar Beet Dump.

Tobias Wedel, prominent young
man of Aberdeen, sustained fatal in
Juries at the beet dump at Aberdeen
Tuesday. The brief information re-
ceved by the Press is to the effect
that Mr.. Wedel was standing between
the wheel horses and the leaders at
dump, when an approaching train
frightened the team and it started to
run. The wagon tongue was forced
practically through the thigh of the
victim. He sustained other serious
injuries.
Dr. Moth was called by DR.. MacKin-
non to assist in dressing the injuries.
The patient came out of the anesthetic
in good shape. but suddenly gasped
ana expired. An autopsy revealed
the fact that air had entered the veins
through rupture. forming a blood
clot which lodged at the dividing of
tho arteries because the opening was
not large enough to admit it, this be-
ing the immediate cause OF death Or.
Moth is of the opinion that but for
the admission of air to the veins, Mr..
Wedel would have recovered.
Mr.. Wedel was about thitry years of
-se and has been a resident of Aber-
deem for about eight years. He was
well connected and highly respected
citizen. He leaves wife and two
small children to mourn his tragic
death.

AN ELEVENTH HOUR CONVERT,

Alexander has been nominated for
governor by the prohibition party and
he is now claiming all the credit for
the passage of the dry laws in this
state. Those who have followed Alex
ander's record on the wet and dry
question know that he only signed the
dry law because he was forced to do
so by an overwhelming sentiment of
the people and a Republican legisla
ture. The past record of the COVER
nor as an executive Is the justification
for this statement.
The Review takes the liberty of
quoting an editorial from the Idaho
Review, published over a year ago
We refrain from further comment:
Before and After Taking.
NJ. Alexander retired from the office
OF mayor of Boise in July, 1903, after
having served for two years. The
Evening Capital News was then pub
lished each week day in Boise by The
Capital News Printing company, un-
der the same management as today.
Summing mp the record Of Mayor
NJ. Alexander for the two years the
Evening Capital News in its leading
editorial july %, 1903, had this TO say
"One looks for laudation from the
paid advocate, and when a newspaper,
from choice OF circumstances, becomes
the Ackey of an individual, especially
OF an egOtistical, clustering individual.
totally lacking in all the finer fibre
and instincts that govern gentlemen,
there is 10 depth OF self-abasement TO
Ahich il viii not be compelled to
stoop"
Gentle reader. just con these words
gain in the light of the present situa-
ton at the state house. It IS the
ESening Capital News that Is speak
ing Of VI. Alexander
i.e.ye years nave slipped by since
this retirement of Mayor NJ Alexander
but still there seems 10 be something
wonderfully familiar in the first part
Of this next paragraph in the editorial
~ IAe Evening Capital News, July 20,
1903. Listen:

taxes would be reduced, instead OF
which they were raised, there were

DEMOCRATS INVITED TO
JOINT DISCUSSION

Owing to a conflict in the
date of meetings by both the
Democrats and Republicans at
Lake precinct, for Saturday
night, October 21, Judge Haag
on behalf of the Republican
candidates has invited the
Democrats to divide the time
and discuss either county, state
or national matters, or all of
them.
The conflict arose from the
fact that arrangements to hold
a meeting by the Republicans
was made with F. A. Ziek, one
of the school trustees; and ar
rangements for the Democratic
meeting were made with M. Z.
Drake another of the trustees,
both for the same night, each
of the trustees acting in entire
good faith and without know
ledge of the arrangements
made by the other. 1t is be-
lieved the Republicans spoke
first, but in order to avoid con-
fusion or Inconvenience the
Republican offer to divide time
was decided upon. If the in
vitation is not accepted one or
the other of the meetings
will have to be held at some
other date.

In q masterful speech delivered be-

mine said to me: "You have changed
your politics" l said, mo, I continue

that is being conducted by Adjutant
General Stotesbury to ascertain IL
Jews were debarred from enlisting in
the National Guard, has developed so
many interesting facts, that it is ex-

sprung during the continuation OF
the investigation, resumed today 1t
is said that the Hebrews of the city
have secured many witnesses of
prominence to testify as to the dis
elimination practiced against them
The alleged display of anti-Semitism
by the New York National Guard
may lead to the formation of jew

proposed organization, among them
some Of the best known Jews in the
country, feel that such a regiment Is

HINDU WOMEN AND TWIN
ELEPHANTS IN PARADE

Chicago, June THE ttinkly
temple bells" of India and a blaring
brass band on Michigan avenue are
almost equally distant musically and
geographically. but a group Of Hindu
women bridged both gaps in order to
march in the suffrage parade today
Another feature of the march was
the G.. o. P. elephant as twins. The
pair of him, brushed to the mines
and decorated with yellow ribbon,
bore the suffrage plank through the
streets as an ocular demonstration
of the Importance of the suffragists
of the United States. The suffragists
are making a strong fight to have a
votes-for-women plank inserted in
the Republican platform. The on
cial parade costume consists of a
white waist and skirt, white sailor
hat with yellow band and a yellow
cape. Not only women from all parts
of the Union, but hundreds of Chi
cago's most popular and most beauti-
full girls have joined the fight for
universal suffrage.
