The early arrival home of Burton
L. French, former Idaho congress

his friends and it will be the signal
for a monster movement among re-
publicans OF Latah county to rally
around their former fayorite in de-

Mr.. French's PERSONAL popularity not

The state game department hopes to
make Hepburn park one of the beauty

cording to LeroysC. Jones, state game
warden, who is in the city today
from Boise. Mr.. Jones arrived here

other points where they have been on
department business.
Personally | am not in favor OF
selling property in Hepburn park or
giving long time leases said Mr..
Jones today. 1--WE do not desire to see
a town built in Hepburn park as it
would destroy it's advantages as a re-
sort, but we would wish to see 1t made
one of the finest pleasure resorts OF
the state.
II am now on my way to the park
where I expect to renew leases TO
small lots along the water front OF
Chatcolet lake, but only for one-year
periods. We have sold some timber
from the park and expect to sell more
after which we hope to have some

NAV be built this year. Many Mos
COW residents are summer recreation
ists of Hepburn park and it is an
ideal spot for vacation. Hunting and
; fishing are abundant, and. in talks with
some of your local people, find de-
sire to have the park kept free OF
commercial institutions.
Some day we hope to have hotel
built at the park. At this time we
are leasing hotel privileges and will
continue the privilege for house boats
and other slight amusement for the
public benefit The first thing Will

HUGHES SPEAKS.

Charles Evan Hughes acceptance
address of the Republican nomina-
ton for president was a great speech.
He had something to say and he said
it in straightforward tones. Issues
of the campaign were clearly set
forth and the administrations record
of inconsistency and weakness was
set forth.
The Mexican situation will form
the chief issue of the campaign, is the
belief of many Americans.
Mr.. Hughes in his acceptance ad-
dress gives a mastery and searching
analysis of the administration policy
in Mexico. He also suggest remedy
for the Mexican situation-a policy
of firmness and consistency, helpful
to Mexico in her extremity but in
sistent on protection for American
lives and property.
Mr.. Hughes jabs at the Mexican
policies of the Democrats are as fol-
lows:
1--WE have not helped Mexico. She
lies PROSTATE, impoverished, famine
stricken, overwhelmed with the woes
of and outrages of internecine strife,
the helpless victim of a condition of
anarchy which the course Of the ad-
ministration only served to promote.
"Decrying interference; we inter-
fered most exasperatingly. We have
not kept out of actual conflict and
the soil of Mexico is stained with the
blood of our soldiers. We have re-
sorted to physical invasion only to re-
tire without gaining the professed OBJ
ject. 1t is a record which cannot be
examined without a profound sense
of humiliation.
"In the summer of 1913, John Lind
was despatched to the City, of Mexico
as the presidents; personal spokes-
man and representative" to the un-
recognized Huerta in order to demand
that the latter eliminate himself. It
was an unjustifable mission, most
offensive to a sensitive people,: John
Lind fingered irritatingly. The ad-
ministration continued to direct it's
efforts at the destruction of the only
government Mexico had.
"The entire national guard has
been ordered out and many thousands
of our citizens have been taken from
their peaceful. employments and hur.-
riedy to the Mexican border. The adj
ministration: was to seize and punish
Villa for his outrages on our SOIL, :, It
has not punished anyone; we went
in only to retire, and the future
movements are apparently to be deter
mined by a. joint commission. s

sistency and friendly dealing will ac-
complish more than many years Of
vacillation.' ,--..

HIGHWAY COMMISSION

The Federal aid roads bill, pro-
viding for an appropriation Of $75,r
100000 has passed both houses, has
been signed by President Woodrow
Wilson and is now law. This bill,
which had the backing, of the AM
erican AUTOMOBILE association .sand
other good roads organizations, is the
first step in the direction of federal
aid for roads, and we think most
important step in our present CAM
paign for preparedness. This amount
is to be distributed among the differ
ent states according to population
and road mileage, and the bill ex-
pressly provides that no state is to
receive any portion of the amount UNI
less it has highway commission.
Naturally the first query would be,
'How much does Minnesota get? We
get about two and one-quarter million
dollars in the five years and this
amount is to be matched by an equal
amount from this state. If we &C,
cept of this muniticent offer, which
we will, of course, it will be another
very important step in the welfare
of good roads in Minnesota, for the
reason that any money expended in
this state in conjunction with the
federal money will have to be ex-
pended on roads selected by the
highway commission and built by

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is dam
ger signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when it is ringing
but should cure the disease that caus-
es the coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy Many have used it

ent cough that so often follows bad
