REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET 10 A
STRONG ONE.

In character, qualification and gen.
eral fitness of candidates for the re.
spective state offices, the people Of
Idaho have never had a better ticket
presented to them for support than
that now offered by the republican
party. The record Of every candidate
In his private and public life will
stand the closest scrutiny, for there
is absolutely nothing to conceal. Be-
with the candidate for gov
ernor and including every candidate
,n the state ticket, they are men of
he highest standing in the commune
les in which they live, of unquestion-
ID integrity and of recognized ability.

WHEN SOLDIERS BECOME PRO.
DUcERs INSTEAD OF CON-
SUMERS.

The Superior (WiscOnsin) Telegram
points out sagely to the farmers of
the Badger state that the European
war has saved them from the Nepres-
sion and losses which they were feel
ing when hostilties broke out, and of
which the democratic tariff was the
cause. 1t reinforces it's argument with
this cogent reminder:
'"When the war ends the 80 million
men now fighting in Europe will re-
turn to their normal pursuits. Now
they are only consumers of foodstuffs.
Then large percentage OF them will
become producers as we'll The farm
er is, therefore, as vitality interested
in industrial preparedness as the me-
ehanie and the artisan. The farmers
will need the industrial cities of this
country to consume the products of
the soil, and those cities will need
protective tariff TO promote their
growth and maintain their ability to
buy. Also, the farmers will need tar
III protection from the expanding out
put of the great agricultural provincesLI
Of the Canadian west"
There are many issues in this cam
paign which will appeal to the Ameri-
IAN farmer, But the one great issue
which correlates his interests and the |
interests of all the people is the issue
u maintaining American industrial
SIN and of preserving the American
market. Wars may bring high prices
While wars rage. A protective tariff
rings and keeps good times when
eace reigns. The men who have dug
he trenches along the Somme will be !
igging in the fields when the trenches
re abandoned. A protective tariff
ill be our defense against their pro- G
ucts. 10

HUGHES HAS A STRONG LEAD IN
EASTERN STATES.

Beginning with the Maine election,
which gave Hughes majority of over
10000, the elections in New York, New
Jersey and Illinois followed with
sweeping gains for the republicans.
These elections in great industrial
states clearly reflect the unmstakable
drift of public sentiment to the re-
publican candidate and indicate his
election by an overwhelming major
ity. President Wilson was in effect
repudiated in his own state, a state
in which the vote is largely made up
of employees of large manufacturing
enterprises, which clearly reflects the
attitude of big business establish
ments and their employees toward the
Wilson administration. While not
conceding the hopelessness of demo-
cratic success in New England and
the east the democratic national COM
mittee has virtually done so in the
radical change in its plan of cam
paign. The west is being flooded
with democratic spellbinders, men
whose services would be reserved ex-
clusively for the east. where the heavy
vote is polled, if there was any en-
to hold them there !
There is no other rational conclusion
than that the democratic leaders rec |
lgnize that they are beaten in the
east, and that they are now following

'orlorn one, in trying to turn enough
republican states of the west to the

MINING CONGRESS TO CONSIDER
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

The meeting of the American Min
ing Congress, which will be held in
Chicago next month, promises to be
the most largely attended session of
that organization that has ever been
held This will be due partly to the
fact that it is being held in a great
center of population which makes IL
more accessible to larger propor-
ton of the people, and partly to the
belief that questions of vital import
ance to the mining industry will be
considered and the action taken on
them by the congress win have far
reaching effect in shaping laws gov
erning mining operations of the fu-
ture. The two big subjects upon which
the mining congress win probably
make definite declarations are the re-
vision of the mining laws and the
proposed land leasing system, and
both are of such vital Importance to
the mining industry in the west that
special effort should be made to see
that the west is strongly represented.
That there viii be widely divergent I.

COUNTY CONTRACTS ExTRAvA-
CANT AND ILLEGAL.


The spokesman for the county COM
missioners preserves a discrete sill
ence on the extravaganza of that body
in building a county infirmary and
isolation hospital, and the manner in
which the law was ignored in award
ing the contracts. And yet it has been
only few months ago when this
same spokesman, the Day daily. de-
voted most of its time to pointing out
the extravaganza Of the city council
in awarding paving contract and
the illegality of the act, and was ac-
tive in carrying the matter to the SUI
preme court, which permanently re-
strained the council from carrying out
the contract. This contract concerned
no one outside the city of Wallace and
IS per cent of the taxpayers of the
city supported the council In award
ing the contract. But this did not
prevent the Day daily from referring
to the councilmen as grafters, law
vioIators and men unworthy of public
confidence.
Now the county commissioners have
entered into contracts which will in
solve the expenditure of almost $780,
600 In acquiring ground and building
county infirmary and isolation hos
pital. The taxpayers were not asked
for an expression on this expenditure,
and if they had been they would have
unquestionably recorded protest
against it as being far in excess of the
requirements of the county. The
taxpayers were not consulted, but
they will be called upon to pay the
bill. In awarding the contracts for
the building and plumb
Ing and heating it the county COM
missoners rejected the lowest bids
and failed to enter upon the record a
single word to explain why the high
er bids were accepted.
In the paving case the supreme
court says that when a higher bid is |
accepted "the contracting agent lin |
his case the county commissioners |
should judicially find the facts which |
n its Judgment render the apparently
owest bid not the lowest bid in fact"
Referring to the paving case, the SUI
1reme court stated that the bid ac-
'epted was not the lowest offer, and
hat the council rejected all others
md accepted it without, at any time
making any explanation or assigning
my reason for so doing" This is ex-
Ictly what the county commissioners
lid in awarding the contracts in ques-
ion.
Now let us hear from those who
we're so vigorously defending the
lights of the taxpayers of the city
n the county hospital case If the I
elton of the city council was illegal
n rejecting the lowest bid without an {
xplanation. then the action of the n
ounty commissioners must be Illegal '

IF We Only Understood.
(Rudyard Kipling)

If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment.
Understood the loss and gain.
Would the grim eternal roughness,
Seem-I wonder. just the same,
Should we help, where now we hinder,
Should we pity where we blame?
Ali We judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force,
Knowing not the fount of action,
Is less turbid at its source.
Seeing not amid the evil,
All the golden grains of good,
And we'd love each other better,
If we only understood.
Could we Judge all deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know the spur the action gives.
Often we should find it better.
Purer than we judge We should,
We would love each other better,
II we only understood
Could we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner,
All the while we loathe the sin.
Could we know the powers working,
TO overthrow integrity.
We should judge each others errors,
With more patient charity
