The Minnesota regiment on the
Mexican border, which Is oyerwhelm-
ingly republican. divided its vote
about equally between Wilson and
Hughes. This surprising result was
accomplished 1t has now been defin-
itely learned, by assurance from dem
ocratic headquarters that If Wilson
was elected the regiment would be or
dered home. 1t is difficult to say
which is more deserving of condemn
alton, the democrats who resorted to
this method of getting votes, or the
men in the regiment who turned their
political coats as means of getting
relief from service they had sworn
to perform. The Hughes votes rep
resented the real soldiers, the men
who obey orders and ask not why,
the type upon which this government
must rely IL 1t should become involv-
ed In war.

Having been successful in intimi-

Then the president and his party were

lose that vote and he magnihed the

IDAHO IS DRY BY A VERY LARGE
MAJORITY.

The people of Idaho cast 126,03l
votes on the prohibition amendment
only about per cent less than the
total vote cast for president, which
indicates the intense interest of the
people on the subject. The majority
in favor of prohibition was $500,
and the most remarkable feature of
the returns Is that every county in
the state gave a majority in favor of
prohibition. Shoshone county, which
up to the time the present dry law
went into effect was the Wettest spot
in Idaho, and where booze was sup
posed to be the most strongly en-
trenched, cast 6725 votes on the
amendment OF these 1858 were in
favor of the amendment and 2357
against, giving a majority in favor of
prohibition in Shoshone county of
POLL.
The growth of the prohibition SEN
timent throughout the country is one
of the most remarkable developments
of modern times. 1t is stated that IS
per cent of the territory of the United
States is now dry under either prohi-
bition or local option laws, and that
as per cent of the people are actually
living in dry territory. Under these
the effort to stay the
sweep of the prohibition
movement, either directly or by tenn
with the liquor traffic, will
not check 1t in the least. The opera
ton of the prohibition laws have
made converts of millions who had
previously opposed extreme temper
ance legislation, for the improved
condition from every view point are
so plainly apparent that the stock ar
of the vets have lost what
ever force they once possessed. The
light of man to eat and drink what
ne pleases is all right in theory, but
when the exercise of that right car
les with 1t untold misery, distress
md poverty, it is time to surrender it
or the welfare of society. In making
his demand the people are simply
pplying a principle to the liquor
rattle which has been recognized and
racticed from the beginning of our
overnment. The exercise of indi-
idual rights and privileges must be
ubject to the welfare of the majority.

MINE INSPECTOR BELL AND HIS
WORK FOR MINING.

Robert n. Bell, state mine inspector
/ is in the district making his inspec-
ton preparatory to compiling his an
|nual report, Mr. Bell is one of the
three republican candidates who
weathered the democratic cyclone that
passed over Idaho on November 7, a
fact upon which the mining industry
of the state is to be congratulated. He
konws every gulch from the British
line to Nevada, and he is equally at
home in the humble cabin of the
prospector and the palatial office of
the dividend paying mine Naturally
he must give must attention to the
producing mines to see that they are
complying with the law in their op-
GRAFTON, to gather statistical informa-
ton of great value to the investing
public and to encourage the develop
ment of new mines. And as a neces-
sary adjunct to this information, Mr..
Bell gives much attention to new dis

Of prospective mines. for the prospects
of today viii be the mines of the
future. Mr. Bells annual reports COW

IMMORAL ADVICE TO THE MER.
CHANTS.

The Modern Merchant and Grocery
World may be an honest and respect
able publication, but piece of advice
1t gave its merchant readers lately
seems flagrantly immoral
Consumers are being educated to-
day" 1t remarked, "by a variety of
conditions, to pay good prices for
everything they buy. The retail mer-
chant who doesn't take advantage of
that had better drop out. Never again
will he have such a chance"
In other words, grab while the grab
bing's good! People are getting used
to high prices, and rather expect them,
even while they complain-so soak
them to the limit. Charge "aIl THE
traffic will bear" for everything. If a
rise in the wholesale price of butter
forces you to raise the retail price five
cents a pound, raise eggs, too, even if
they cost you the same as before. II
flenr goes up legitimately raise corn
meal and peas and beans along with
It. If potatoes double in price owing
to real scarcity add a dollar
oushel to apples, no matter what
they're worth. High prices are in the
air. Take advantage of the psychol-
'gy of the thing; encourage the con-
belief that "everything's GO
ng up and soak him! The poor
'oob will never know the difference.
Is that why the price of so many .
commodities has risen to unprece-
ented heights? We wouldn't like to
elieve that any retailers in our COM
1unlty are acting on that greedy and
icious principle!

HUGHES AND CALIFORNIA.
(Goodwin's Weekly

The verdict is in. Wilson carried
the state by a safe margin of several
thousand votes. Hiram Johnson also
carried the state by upwards of 20O,-
900 votes. California is normally a
republican state What was the trou-
BILE?
1t is quite plain that Governor
Hughes was double crossed. The
tracks of the treacherous parties lead
in the direction of the Johnson camp.
1T is altogether probable that the
blame will never be firmly fixed up
on the senator elect, himself, for he is
master politician and smooth enough
to avoid getting tangled in his own
tricks But his political friends and
followers-some two hundred thous-
and strong, did the dirty work. To
say that Governor Johnson did not de-
liberately plan and direct the double
cross is a difficult statement to dis
pute, no matter how apparent the
treachery; but to assert that he had
no personal knowledge of the under
handed acts of his friends is to in
suit the intelligence of the American
people.
1t is useless to speculate on what
might have happened had not John
son and his henchmen been given the
cold shoulder upon the occasion of the
ci nf
MIA. To our mind this would not have
changed the result a particle They
never had any serious intention to
support Hughes candidacy Why did
the senatorial candidate undertake to
stand upon ceremony unless it was to
the presidential candidate
and thereby score personal advan-
tage himself? One thing Of the two
at least Is certain-he either deliber-
ately courted the cold shoulder or else
failed to reckon with his host BY what
rule of reason could he expect Mr..
Hughes to make the overtures or to
toady to him in any particular? I'm
der the circumstances, what could it
gain the latter? If this was his pur-
pose he sadly underestimate the cal
iber of the man he hoped to deal with.
Some say that Governor Hughes
that he should have set /
aside the advice of his associates and /
made peace with Johnson at any
price. We do not think that it was a
olunder In any sense of the word The
presidential candidate rightfully ig-
lored the insolenee of Johnson and his
ribe. To have stopped to count the
cost of such action might have been
considered good politics perhaps, but
t would have cheapened Hughes In
he estimation of himself and of all
people.
To have assumed any other attitude I
han he did would have been nothing !

DIRECT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT.
Missoulian)


Some of the newspapers, since the
election, are agitating the question OF
changing the present constitutional
form of electing the president, from
that of an electoral college to the di-
rect vote.
Theoretically the plan may be
pleasing but we doubt whether 1t
would be more satisfactory in the end.
Under the present system the cleo
toral college is named on the number
of senators and representatives al.
lotted to each individual state.
As each state is entitled to two SEN
ators the present system gives to the
smaller state populations of the west
some advantage in the electoral col
lege plan. But area as we'll as popu-
lation is entitled to some considera-
ton in the adjustment of final politi
cal power.
New York city has a population
equal to that of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Colorado, wyoming, Mon
tana, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona
and New Mexico combined. But would
any serious minded person argue that
the city of New York alone would
have as great a voice in government
as the people of these 10 states oc
cupying one-fourth of the area of the
country and with their varied kinds
of industry?
Under direct voting, the temptation
to roll up enormous maiorities in the
big cities would lead to fragrant fraud.
Under the present plan a bare ma
lorlty in given state carries with it
the full electoral vote of that state
and no more, while under the direct
voting plan, in an emergency, the
solid south, where the natural re-
publican vote is deliberately suppress
I'd, could roll up at any time 'popu-
ar majority" of one or two millions.
I necessary, for the democratic can
lidate for president.
In the northern and western states
where suffrage is free and fair, any
formal majority for a republican
presidential candidate could be wiped
tut by made to order democratic
majority in Texas alone.
Elections will be fairer and much |
more nearly represent the will of the /
people by retaining, for I
his generation at least, the present
orm of the electoral college

solely by the constitution and without
fear Of those who would warp It's pro-
visions to serve their selfish interests
The temper of the people toward the
radical labor leaders who appear to
be attempting to force a decision on
the Adamson law just as they dictat-
ed its enactment is well described in
the following from the San Francisco
/ Argunaut:
There is in the current utterances
of Mr.. Gompers and other leaders of
organized labor that which tends to
seriousness of mind. When men talk
about defying the law and of arbitrar-
lily forcing issues they are playing
with fire. Even though the president
may have trafficked and bartered with
Mr.. ,Gompers, It remains that neither
the president nor Mr.. Gompers, nor
both together, can override the con-
stitution and run the people of the
United States when once they are
aroused,
"Once before In our history the
champions of particular interest
ventured to defy the constitution and
the laws; and now there is that In the
associates which recalls the former
assault. What followed when the
slave power undertook to override the
Jaws and run the country was not
pleasant experience, nor a cheap one,
whether the price be reckoned In
blood or In treasure. But the forces
which stood for the constitution and
the laws and their enforcement won
Defiance and presumption were beat
en-, humbled, Inundated. To this day
they and those who have come after
them suffer the penalties. We want
no repetition of that experience. We
want no rebellion against the sover-
eign law. We may be patient under
criticism, under impertinence even
under threats. But in the final show
down we shall not yield to selfish and
reckless arrogance. We shall not
yield to Mr.. Gompers and his crew,
even though they may reckon the
president among the powers under
their hand
THE people of the United States
have no wish to deal vigorously or in
with labor. They are just T
in their intentions, sympathetic in
Willingness to hear what is amiss
and will in due process of time and
method correct what may be wrong.
But the country will not yield under
The demand to stand and surrender.
Politicians may show the white fea-
her, but the law is still master and
he heart of the country is still the +!
1eart of courage, Mr. Gompers and 4
Ill others impatient and intolerant of l
he law would do well to heed this
act. 1t is the rock upon which our
system is founded. And it will not at 4
he call of anybody be removed from
is firm base"

GROCER PAYS CUSTOMERS.
Duluth Herald)

A grocer in Fond du Lac, Wis, has
introduced an interesting system He
calls 1t the "cash and carry system"
, If his customers pay cash for their
goods he throws off per cent. If
they carry their purchases home he
throws off another per cent. If the
family's grocery bill is $25 a month,
that means saving of $250--which
would make tidy addition to the
savings bank balance
The plan, it is reported takes we'll
with this, grocer's customers. More
Pver, he is tickled with it himself. It
saved him the expense Of putting on
more delivery wagons, which he would
have had to do if he hadn't adonted
this system. 1t has increased his bus
mess, 1t has given him the benefit of
cash in the till instead of credit on the
books. 1t seems to be beneficial all
around
1t isn't exactly new, Of course. There
are shops that do something like the
same thing: that is, by selling for
cash only and doing no delivering,
they can and do sell goods cheaper,
and many take advantage of the OPP
portunity to be thrifty.
The cost of living is vastly higher
than 1t used to be before the days Of
credit and telephone ordering, when
mother used to put a basket on her
arm and go shopping. And one of the
reasons why the cost of living is high
er is that credit and delivery both cost
money which, of course, the consum-
rs have to pay.
