AN ABLE AND HONEST PUBLl(
SERVANT.
In all phases Of his political career
Burton L. French has been a credit
and a help to Latah county, and to
the state of Idaho. Nothing which
would help Idaho or an Idaho individ-
ual has been too small for him to
give it his immediate attention, and
no problem for his state or its people
has been too great for him to under
take. He has been an able, honest
and always willing servant of his state
and has reached a position, through
years Of experience in congress,
where his committee assignments
make his services, not only to Idaho,
but to the country, invaluable. For
tunately here is no doubt as to the
reelection of Congressman French,
at Tuesdays election. Latah county
voters should, however, again give him
the overwhelming majority which he
has been accorded in the past. He
deserves it and the people of his
home county should feel glad to thus
honor him.

Latah county citizens, if we Judge
Alright, will give Hon. VIM. E. Lee,
candidate for the supreme bench, one
of the heaviest votes ever given
citizen of the county Mr.. Lee,
through years spent in the county,
has shown himself to be man of in
tegrity, a citizen of high ideals, al
ways supporting the right, and an at
torney of ability. He is deserving of
the votes of his fellow citizens.

The sentiment expressed by Hon.
Edgar C. Steele, judge of the district
court for 25 years., regarding the fit
ness of Hon. VIM. E. Lee for Justice
of the supreme court, should carry
weight. Judge Steele well knows the
ability of Mr.. Lee, and also knows the
qualifications which are most es-
sential and his statement that Mr..
Lee has these qualifications mean
something.

of Idaho have always found Congress
man Burton L. French their friend.
They will take pleasure, irrespective
of party, in giving him their support
next Tuesday.

When a man has more brains than
he knows what to do with, he usually
invents something of great value and
lets somebody take it away from him.

WHEN 1T WILL EQUALIZE.
Prices of farm products will in the
end balance with city wages and |
prices in general, but the balance
will probably be brought about by |
harsh means. If there are too many
workers in a community some must
go without jobs; if there are too
many stores or factories some must
close up. If farm products will not
afford the farmer reasonable returns
for his capital and labor he must quit
producing. After while, as the scar
city of the products is felt the prices

labor on wages out of proportion to
farm prices is nothing more nor less
than continued pressure on the man
in the agricultural industry to get
out of business. However, we cannot
expect any group of citizens to stand
for reduction of their own wages.
People are not built that way.-Yak-

WHERE THE FAULT LIES.
Statesmen, says a British econom-
list, are bringing the world to bank
ruptcy. We doubt If that is true,
an exchange remarks. The modern
statesman does very little that he
does not have good reason for believ-
ing the people want him to do. The
people themselves are largely re-
sponsible for great debts and high
taxes.
