l do not suppose one in 100 citizens
of Idaho could accurately describe the
Kootenai river. l doubt that one in
500 has ever seen the Kootenai river.
Still fewer know that it has more nav
igable miles of water than any other
river of our state.
Recently attention has been called
to the Kootenai river by the appoint
ment of two or our citizens by Presi-
dent Harding to meet with two citizens
Of British Columbia at Portland, Ore,
the fore part of July to try to devise
ways and means of reclaiming the vast
area of the Kootenai valley overflow
lands.
Negotiations with Canada having
that end in view have been under way
for 80 or more years. The subject
has been before many presidents and
many congresses.
Truly Wonderful Valley.
AS this wonderful valley is situated
partly in Idaho and partly in British
columbia, joint action of these sections
is deemed necessary to any scheme
of successful drainage.
A short strip of meadow land lies
between the sources of the Kootenai
and the Columbia rivers in British Co.
lumbia. Many believe the two streams
anciently had common sourse, and it
was only recently a small artificial
canal was constructed across this
intervening meadow in order to restore
the original status. This was not,
however, successful.
Great Rivers Part Company.
The Kootenai flows southwark and
westward through Montana and Idaho,
while the Columbia takes its way north
and west, the two streams thus farm
ing circle mingling their waters in
a common basin within the pictures
que lines of Upper Arrow lake in Brit
ish Columbia, perhaps 100 miles from
whence they started. After parting
company at a source near enough to
be common to each. they meet again,

The Penn's Grove record., 1921-04-29

THE tidal wave which swept down
l. the Republicans in the congress
siOnal elections of 1874 still was run
ming so strongly in the campaign of
1876 that Rutherford 3. Hayes himself
never was confident of his success.
Nor was the country surprised to read
in the headlines the morning after cleo
ton that Tilden, the Democratic candi-
date, had won the race.
The Republican national ~headquar-
tiers in New York city shut up shop
early election night, and the Repub-
lican campaign managers went to bed
resigned to defeat.
Tilden was elected on the face of
the returns, with 203 electoral votes
to JOG for Hayes, and had also a
plurality of 100000 in the popular vote.
His election indeed rested on the same
basis as Cleveland's in 1884 and Viii
sons in 1916. But in 1876 the Repub-
licians had not yet acquiesced in the
suppression of the negro vote in the
South. And if the negroes had not
been persuaded" by various means
from going to the polls, Tilden could
not have been elected.
Both the Republicans and the Dem
Ocrats claimed to have carried LOuisi-

ana, South Carolina and Florida. and
were sen to Washington. Who should
decide between them? The Constitu-
ton provides merely that the president
of the senate shall, in the presence of
the senate and house, open the certi-
ficates, land the votes shall then be
counted"
But when there are two sets of
votes, who shall say which shall be
counted? 1.-THE president of the SEN
ate" answered the Republicans be
u the president of the senate was
a Republican. 1.-THE two houses" said
the Democrats, because n of the
houses was Democratic.
Compromise was necessary to save
government from chaos and the
untry from another Civil war. The
litter dispute was left TO Is men, ne
third of whom were senators and an
other third were representatives,
equally divided between the parties.
To guarantee a calm, judicial decision
the remaining third were justices of
the Supreme court.
Nevertheless, the commission pro-
ceeded to decide every essential ques-
ton in favor of Hayes by a strict party
vote of s to Z. Alas, the partisan
zeal of that feverish hour burned just
as fiercely beneath the gowns of the
justices as under the frock coats of
the legislators.
The judgment of the commission
was without force in law until adopted
~ the two opposing houses, and some
disappointed Democrats in the house
baked at ratifying the decision against
Tilden. But representatives of Hayes
whispered to certain southern Demo
Gratis in a secret conference at Worm
ley's hotel that if they would let the
Republicans have the presidency. the
Republican president would let them
have their own state governments. The
bargain having been struck. it was
kept. After a turbulent night session
of the house S.e result of the election
was declared at four o'clock in the
morning of March ?, 1877, just Sc hours
before the Inauguration.
For three months Hayes himself had
been alternating from day TO dav be-
tween expectation of success and de-
feat. Even when he started for Wash
ington on March ! he was still so I'D
certain that he frankly told the PEG
Pile of Columbus in his parting speech
that he might be back with them arS
n the governors chair again in -
han q week.
The Penn's Grove record., 1921-04-29

the removal of the civil service from
politics and spoils-mongering had not
both parties combined in congress to
thWart his every effort in that direc-
ton.
Hayes boldest challenge to the
Republican politicians was his aban-
donment of their 12-year struggle to
reconstruct the Southern states from
Washington. Ever since congress
had seized from Lincoln's lifeless
hand the control of reconstruction,
the entire proceeding had been a
tragic failure.
Hayes came to the presidency in
the depths of an industrial prostra-
ton when wandering bands of
tramps thrOnged the highways of the
land, and soon the first great railway
strike paralyzed transportation be-
tween the Atlantic and the Missis-
sippi. In response TO the popular cry
for more money" both parties in
congress were for repeating or modi-
flying the resumption act and for in
1ating the currency with ~greenbacks
on silver coinage. The president
firmly resisted such a surrender. Had
not his veto of the silver bill been
overridden he would have saved the
country from taking the first step On
the road that led it 10 the brink of
free silver in 1896.
All this independence cost Hayes
the support of the political time serv-
ers and the applause of the partisan
press. These united in denOuncing
and ridiculing him as a renegade in
in private life.
The White House went dry" for
the first time under the Hayes, and
the president was held up to con-
tempt as a man too stingy to stand
treat and too weak TO resist a domi-
neering wife.
Hayes found the North and South
divided and he left them more nearly
reunited than they had been in a
generation. He found the national
currency paper and he left it gold
and silver. He found the prosperity
of the country at dead low tide and
he left ii at high tide.
1t fell TO Hayes to ring down the
curtain on the epoch of the Civil
war and TO usher in another epoch.
The voices of the past cried out
against him, but in his complete re
tirement from politics he livel 70 hear
the voices Of the new time give @
Iaure favorable and d more just yer
dict on his administration.
The Penn's Grove record., 1921-04-29
stuE serves his party best wht

GLE serves his party best wht
IL serves his country best"
With those watchwords Hayes had
sacrificed himself and his administra-
ton to reunite North and South, to
cleanse the civil service and to regen-
crate the Republican party. So qui-
city, so coldly, so automatically did
he go about all those great objects
that he remained to the end of his
term n of the most misunderstood
most underestimate presidents, the
Republican leaders hating him as an
apostate and the Democrats despis-
ing him as a fraud.
He selected one of the most dis
tinguished cabinets in history. But
he did it without consulting party
leaders or considering the claims of
factions, and the offended senate
threatened and muttered for nearly
a week before IT confirmed the nomi-
nations. To the disgust Of practical
politicians" he threw away" a high
class foreign mission on a man like
James Russell Lowell. "a dashed lit
erary Teller" as Senator Cameron
said, and he enraged Roscoe Conk-
ling by fiinging the political machine
of the imperiOus senator out of the
federal offices in New York city. He
