REPUBLICANS ARE
VERY OPTIMISTIC
MEMBERS OF PLATFORM CONVEN-
TION CONFIDENT OF PARTY
SUCCESS
Burton French Comments on the Work
of the Convention Pleased With
Platform

THE platform convention was unus
ually we'll attended," said Burton L
French, who has just returned from
Boise. Nearly every county having
some representation. 1t was not {
speech-making convention but one
given over to the work of drafting the
party platform.
1T is not an easy task to whip into
a common statement the sentiments OF
so large a body of people, but when
the platform was finally presented il
was adopted by reclamation.
1.-THE platform affirms the faith OF
the republicans of Idaho in the national
platform, endorses the nomination of
Justice Hughes and Mr.. Fairbanks,
and while commencing the patriotic
course of Colonel Roosevelt in giving
his support to the republican ticket,
invites the progressives of the state to
support the republican ticket.
''The platform condemns Governor
Alexander for absenting himself SO
much of his time from his office, and
condemns the political machine of the
fish and game department.
ut favors the construction of a
north and south road in Idaho by con-
Wet labor and, by the way, think this
is splendid feature This will help
the convicts to be better men, will not
be work in competition with labor
upon which families depend, and it
will help the state.
Again the platform favors the
passage of the prohibition amend
ment to the state constitution, favOrS
the national prohibition amendment,
and pledges the party, in event the
people fail to pass the constitutional
amendment this fall to sustain the
present prohibition law.
1.-THE platform favors woman's suf-
frage for the nation, a wOrkman's COM
law, economy in the affairs |
of the state, state system of rural |
credits, and laws to make operative |
the initiative, referendum and recall |
amendment to the constitution.

Mr.. Beauchamp's lecture on Take

teresting because of the personality
of the speaker which seemed to
heighten the interest of his talk be-
cause, of his obviously having pras-
ticed what he breaches.
Crime on the Increase
Some of the facts on which his lee
ture WAS based were startling. He
pointed out that crime is on the in
crease, in the United States, and that
most of the criminals are boys I'M
der the age of twenty-one. He pre-
dicted a religious revival within a few
years that would more than compen-
safe for the slow movement of the
church at the present time. After
overwhelming his hearers with the
the responsibility that rests on the
American people he pointed out that
better times are coming, and left |
ais audience inspired to take the sun
~ side in the face of the direst calam-
ties.

- BRIEF REVIEW ..
By " NESTOR."

When views stand filled with peri
odcal literature gets overwhelming impress
sion. When one is o'eraid in limited space with
lesser amount one is impressed with the enormous
extent of such publications in the United States
Naturally one needs senses sharpened not to be
lost in the heap of sharpening supplied by The Path
finder, 81 90 year-Y GU know it is from Washing
ton, D. G.. THE current news in a NUTSHELL gives
sound we'll proof read analysis of war news. Who
is the Republican nominee T. R. =? The new
Irish Question, and the antics of skipping Villa.
Sometime ago, weeks months it makes little
difference which, The Mirror queried whether Gals
worthy's Justice was to be had novel or drama
The play is now at hand, free to confess that
our first impression of the too face Ruth and Flad
ner were surprizng.
Bruno's Weekly is bold Concerning
the Fashions of our Girls" wherein there appears
entertanngly deal of Bruno philosophy. He an,
proves of the seasons fashions as making for free
dom of the feminine mind. But just give the
New York grill" After that minor dig might not
endanger him.

In an institution of this kind one can always
find the fellow with the "I-cant-itis" Finding him,
and asking him to define the causes of his ailment,
he possibly could not tell you the reason for his
failure to win in the running toward the goal of
reformation-if he really has such desire-while
on the inside explain his losing the toward
esteemed citizenship while on the outside. His in
ability to explain is self evident and unfortunate
for him. For his mental vision is limited by hia
self-adjusted bandage of Il can't In vague and
listess way ne that be cropping in the dark
for solution of his incapacity to conquer untoward
ness, yet he would rather doubt, if you told him,
that it is his constant Il can' that blinds him to
the unlimited possibilities that surround him, for he
prefers to resort L can't believe it" to avoid
the sting of unpleasant truth, rather than choose
an "I'll try" to meet the issue.
His philosophy regarding lie and it's oppor-
tunities is negative his mental self medicament is
injurious rather than healing his self-made situa-
ton. He persists in using the nostrum, Il can't"
in preference to continuous doses of Il WHIP or "Ill
try''-but wait we will withdraw the latter concu-
sion as it pertains TO his particular case, and subst
tute in its stead the advice forego the continuous
doses OF I will and also omit the imbibing of that
absurd nostrum I can't for both these mental
stimulants depressors do not strike at the root
of his fancied ILL.,
His ament is a chimera. He has "doped" his
mental attributes with Il can't" to such an extent
that he fears cut OUT this doubtful stimulant Co.
Having become accustomed to ncessant doses of Il
can't, he imagines it relieves hint does to the
detriment of his moral and intellectual progress
whereas it actually debilitates him.
1t is the discontinusnce in his Il can't" dope
to rejuveuate his mental vision that we recommend.
The elimination of Il can't'' from his mental cure-al
Is what prescribe for him. This suggested treat
ment to brace up and be somebody and do some
thing will give his half hearted desire to
rise, an opportunity to respond to healthy deve-
opment of normal, unbandaged outlook on life and
Its blessings Moral: Don't be blinded or "doped"
by Il can't"

Dragging

Dragging is the art of patting your best foot in
t. the other fellows at every opportunity. The
world is full of braggers. They our most
bilious people. A bragger never loafs on his job.
While other men are resting at night, he will leave
home and tramp two miles to find some other man
who will stand quietly while the bragger tells him,
with one finger hooked into his coat button, how
a great many had said to him that it was an awful
thing to elect Wilson president while really great
men like yours truly, with the prehense finger
are allowed to languish unpestered by fame.
bragger can really be distinguished by his
long, crooked forefnger. 1t is his weapon. He
hunts the unwary citizen and hooks onto him as
Paul Jones hooked onto the British ship. When
this is done, he begins to brag and the only way
to escape is to cut off the finger or give up the
coat.
Braggers brag about everything in the world,
just as kckers are never at loss for a subject If
a bragger is rich he brags about it. If he isn't he
brags about how soon he is going to be or how he
once was or because he doesn't join in the silly race
for the dollar. Some braggers insist hanging
their own laurel wreath on themselves, while
others are more refined about it and merely re-
peat to you what some friend has said about them
Some men are so expert that they can brag half
day about their modesty, and get away with it in
safety
Braggers have done wonderful deeds ever
since Baron Munchausen. dean of the profession,
raised it to an art. Nations have been saved off
hand Elm grocery stores, and by-gone wars have
been made ten times more horrible by the deeds of
gallant braggers who have thoughtfully preserved
themselves in times of strife behind gum tree in
order to annihiate the foe later on in more
healthy atmosphere.
The Bragger is happy man because he can
always find someone to believe him. He lives in
an atmosphere of glory and admiration, and he
supplies most of it himself he never runs short.
We never worry about trying to praise brag
ger, because whatever we say is pale nothing to
what he thinks
Braggers make themselves very useful to
quiet, busy men by talking instead of competing
with them and if they can be trained to go away
from an Office whenever heavy paper weight is
thrown at them, they need never be nuisance,
provided you see them first.-Ex

are capable of becoming, is the only end of fe."-

Barred Dreams O. Good Friday

Why should / strive to seek redemption now
When all my sins to Heaven cry me down;
sanctimonious face may ease my lot
On earth; but can it help me over there?
0. hypocrit with shriveled soul laid bare
For men and gods to sneer at! Ills begot
In thy hey-day, when, riotious clown,
You sported with Satan, press thee low
These April tears can wash away the stain
Of winter from the wakened face of earth;
Can give new life to faces dormant long,
But they are wasted on thy sin-charred soul.
The power that from world it's burdens roll,
And stirs all nature to new born song
Is not enough to give this husk new birth
Too long you tarried now to live again.
Sink in the pit no hand but thine hath shaped
Eternal night encompass thee around
As this drear rain, that swirls about the house;
Sink in the pit. and as Heavens light recedes,
If you can find, among thy wanton deeds
A single instance where thy heart said, Pause"
And you did for moment hold the ground,
By that much be thy punishment escaped.
Oh, God! l hear the cries of all the damned;
Their fiery stencil is robbing me of breath;
/ do not want to die! I am not fit;
Have mercy on a sinner! Mercy, Lord
What is that word hear-what is the word
What? Ali the rain has ceased; the sky
is lit
Awake, my melancholy dreams are shamed.
