FORGET THE CAMPAIGN.

Now that the election is over, the
official canvass of the votes i'll Idaho
made and recorded and the victors are
known, it is well to forget that there
was an election. Some bitterness was
engendered during the campaign that
should be forgotten. The state is safe
in the hands Of the officers-elect and the
same is true of the county and other
districts of the state. The defeated men
are American citizens and will continue
to support the government.
There is much to be done when the
new officers and the new legislature
take up the work for which the people
have selected them. The meeting OF
tn legislature will be an important one
and much work is to be accomplished
at the coming session.
We must get back to normal condI-
tons from the war basis upon which
we have been for so long. There is to
be reconstruction period and Idaho has
a great work to do in this line. IT IS
to be hoped that all bitterness and ami
mosities of the late campaign will be
forgotten and that the people will get
solidly behind the new officers or the
old ones who were reelected aud work
.harmoniously for the Improvement OF
conditions in the United STATES, the
state of Idaho and in I-atah county
The announcement that the United
States government is to send a fine
series of war pictures to Moscow IS
good news. These pictures carry us
through the great war which the Uni
ted States helped to win. They should
be seen by every one, for they will IN
spire all who see them with a greater
respect for America and make us bet
ter citizens The proposition of the
government to store these war films
for posterity 100 or 500 years from NOW
is worthy one Think how our des-
pendants hundreds of years from now
will enjoy these pictures as we would
enjoy moving pictures of the revolution
erv war or the war of 1872 the civil or
subsequent wars in which the United
States took a part. 1t is to be hoped
these pictures will be patronized by |
every one who can see them.
