A number of delegates to the

a lot of electricity, considerable
rain and some hail made M the

DO 1T NOW, GOVERNOR

The Capital News, daily paper
of Boise, in recent number tells of
the great work it has done in clean
ing out the State House. 1t claims
the whole credit of the great VIC
tory for clean government. 1t seems
to forget that if its support of our
own Moses had been a little more
strenuous he would have been de-
feated. 1t is we'll known that the
editor Of the Capital News is the
private secretary of Governor Alex
ander and that fact cost the Cover
nor hundreds of votes.
Warden Snooks is the man that
recently slugged the Governors's
Private Secretary and in a burst of
eloquence the Governor said, "Give
me Ted Walters for Attorney Gen.
eral and we will turn Snooks out
three hours after we take the oath
of office" That's all right, Cover
nora move in the right direction
but, while you are looking for a
new Warden, look up a new private
secretary. AS editor he did what
he could-it wasn't much-for you,
Governor, but you must not forget
that the people that elected you al
so voted for Woodrow Wilson, and
these people will not forget that
your private secretary, as Editor of
the Capital News, supported Hugh.

STARBEAMS

A Kansas writer protests against
the law compelling candidates to
file statement of their campaign
expenses. on the grounds that it
makes liar of every man who runs
for office. Well, so do marriage,
taxes and several other things, but
society is generally agreed that
they are established institutions.
What can you do with a clover"
begins a writer on home economics.
Nothing, nowadays. Everybody is
wise to it.
Reports from downtown indicate
that some of our people are already
showing consideration for the poor,
tired detectives, and are doing their
Christmas shoplifting early.
What puzzles US is how the grocer
ever found out the size of our
monthly pay check. We never told
soul.
A bashful Kansas City man pro-
posed to his stenographer via the
dictaphone, and she got the propos-
al after he had left the office. And
now she is trying to think up a SIM
ilarly impersonal method of accept
ing him. Well, she might type him
letter of acceptance, with all the
words spelled correctly.

Now Lookout

When a cold hangs on as often
happens, or when you have hardly
gotten over one cold before you con-
tract another, lookout for you are
liable to contract some very serious
disease. This succession of colds
weakens the system and lowers the
vitality SO that you are much more
liable to contract chronic catarrh,
pneumonia or consumption. Cure
your cold while you can. Chamber
lain's' Cough Remedy has great
reputation. 1t is relied upon by
thousands of people and never dis
appoints them. Try it. 1t only
costs quarter. Obtainable every
where.

LEGISLATIVE ADVICE

The incoming legislature has one
most important act of legislation to
perform and that is to give to the
state an entire new election law
While we are about it let us get
back to the representative idea in
matters pertaining to our elections.
Let each precinct elect one or more
delegates to county convention.
This gives us pure democracy in
each precinct. Here the people
choose their representatives. The
county convention will select it's
delegates to the state convention
and here, theoretically at least, we
will have picked set of men who
will nominate ticket for the party
they represent, the county conven-
tion having nominated the county
ticket.
Of course we already hear about
machine methods in selecting the
delegates in the voting precinct but
this cannot occur if the people do
their duty. 1t is a notorious fact
that Democrats do not vote at the
primaries except to help the Repub-
licans to choose their weakest men.
In this way many men find places
on the tickets that could not posi-
bly, pass the scrutiny of a county or
state convention of picked men.
Let us do away the enormous ex-
pense of the Primary, both to the
people and to the candidates who,
if successful at the primary, must
pass through two campaigns. Let
radical reforms be made in the
matter of registration. Each pre-
cinct should have a resident free
holder as registration officer whose
sworn duty it would be to keep the
registration of his or her precinct
right up to date. Let the registra-
tion books be closed on the day of
election and permit only those to
vote who have been duly recorded
as entitled to vote. Omit this
swearing-in process that is causing
so much discussion in all parts of
the state. and much quibbling would
be avoided.
The incoming legislature, being
democratic, will be on trial. If a
new election law is placed upon the
statute books, number of the pres
ent obnoxious laws repealed and a
prohibition law, clearly in accord
with the amendment to the state
constitution, enacted. then the leg
islators can return to their homes

assured that the blessings of
grateful people will follow them.
Whereas if each one tries to see how
many bills can be enacted into law
regardless of merit, as was the case
in the last legislature, then the leg
islators can also return to their con-
stitutents assured that they will be
left at home at the next election as
were so many of the old timers in
the late election. Idaho has too
many laws. Revise and improve
what are good and repeal those dis
tinctly bad and Idaho will take
long step forward in the affairs of
statehood.
There is no doubt that the world
is growing better but dog fight
will usually attract the same old
crowd.
Stop croaking. If you can't see
any good in this world, keep the
bad to yourself.
Now that the election is over it
is hoped that the politicians will
make at least bluff at earning a
part of the taxpayers money they
are receiving as salaries. Just a
little service of the right kind,
please.
Teddy said, "Mr. Wilson says he
is going to do some fine things in
the future. Do it now, Mr.. Wilson,
or keep still" The sovereign peo-
pie have given our president four
years more in which to finish his
splendid progressive program
Wouldn't it be a favor to the Amer
ican people if Teddy would keep
still" while he watches the presi-
dent?
Some one has figured it out that
our primary elections which are
frequently attended by light vote
cost for their operation over one
dollar vote for all the votes cast.
This comes about by reason of the
fact that each voting precinct costs
$50. 90 to $4,000 to man it and fur
nish the necessary supplies and in
many cases there are not as many
votes cast at each polling place as
it costs dollars to operate it hence
the high cost per vote. There is
room for material Improvement in
the election machinery and system
of voting in this state.
