SENATOR BORAH WILL
HAVE OPPOSITION

w. E. Borah, lawyer, public
speaker, candidate in politics
elected to the senate from Idaho to
serve the United States, independent
orator usually having some followers
but not always right, national
character and near world character
generally taking the unpopular OF
radical side, is to have opposition in
the race for election to the United
States senate in 1924.
Heretofore Senator Borah has
been big enough, other able men
have been scarce enough, the Repub-
lican party has been slow enough
and the vision of the people has been
small enough to enable Mr.. Borah
to be returned to the senate merely
because, he was a big man and not
at all because he was representing
the wishes which the people of Idaho
expressed by their conversations,
their speeches, their delegates in
conventions and their public press
read and approved by the people.
Senator Borah has long been an
outstanding character in Washing
ton, and IdahOans, ambitious to be
put on the map anxious to have
the name mentioned regardless of
the comment that went with it, have
felt hOnored at the presence of Mr..
Borah in the senate and in the
banquet halls, where he is called to
speak. To pick up the morning
paper and read that Senator Borah
of Idaho said something, has been
to the more or less
superficial mind of Idaho, no matter
the, senator said something
against the selective draft, against
the league of nations, against send
ing soldiers into Siberia, in favor of
recognition of the bolshevik, or re-
hashing what Aaron Sipero has said
about the orderly marketing of
wheat and potatoes, tobacco, raisins,
hens eggs or southern cotton If
Senator Borah had the floor and If |
It mentioned that he was from |
Idaho, the average Idahoan was sat-
SIZED and felt that If it had been
some other Idaho man in the senate,
lie might not have had the floor and
IDAHO might not have been men
Toned at that time.
But Idahoans are getting past the
Inee-pant stage in politics and are
)uttfRg on trousers. They want a
nan in the United States senate who
S right on vital questions most of
he time. 1t Is not sufficient to
merely take "the other side," and
'ank on being right fifty-one times
ut of hundred and thereby keep
ng up batting average. Scott's

caravan gave us our fill of that, and
Idahoans may not swell up with
pride and welcome everything that
comes over the roal labeled Idaho
or Bust" The sober, thoughtful
Idahoans will let 'em bust.
A clever speaker can take either
side of question and make a very
good case, and the larger and
broader the question, the better case
the speaker can make and the more
gracefully he can sit pretty when
that side of the question is dis
credited. Senator BOrah's method is
to be carrying on aggressively in
some broad question that the aver
age person will read what he says
on, and not take time to reflect upon
what he said on another matter,
where he was discredited by the
sweep of events. While he was talk
ing on the league of nations, people
forgot what he said about the selec-
tive draft; while he ridiculed
Hughes disarmament plan, people
forgot that he favored recognizing
the bolsheviki.
If the statement is true, that
Senator Borah usually takes the I'M
popular side of a question because it
gives him greater opportunity to be
seen and heard, because it makes
him stand out more conspicuously in
the throng, then Scott, of the cara
van, had him outdistanced while the
gasoline and the road held out. But
Scott reached the end of the road,
and it remains to be seen whether or
not Senator Borah will reach the end
of his senatorial flight in 1924.
Standing as he does for the direct
primary, supported as he is by men in
politics who admit that they have no
use for the direct primary except to
break down the opposing party and
ride into power, standing beaten as
he does, with the press of the state
on his own proposition made in
1910, to try the direct primary ten
years longer before acknowledging
it failure, the press of the state
after thirteen years of waiting for it
to bear some decent fruit, owes him
nothing on his vain experiment to
make it work out some good.
The present prospects are that
Senator Borah will have an opponent |
for the nomination for senator, and |
Stanley EastOn, mining man OF
kellogg, is mentioned as the most |
probable man for the race. A dis
cussion of the reasons for the oppon-
emit appearing in the coming cam
Daign will be timely for the coming
winter and spring.

WE CAN THANK THE
JAPANESE \

information has just come to light
regarding a fine favor done to the
United States by the Japanese en-
bassy at ST. Petersburg a few years
ago.
A copy of the secret code of the
United States diplomatic service was
stolen from the embassy at Buchar-
est, and was spirited out of the
country. The next thing that was
heard of it, it was offered to the
Japanese government for $4,000,
and they declined to buy it or to
even look at it, but they worked on
the problem of restoring it to the
proper channels land later got their
hands on it and delivered it back to
the representatives of the United
States.

SANTA BARBARA HAS
BRIGHT IDEA

The town of Santa Barbara, Calf,
has a good beach for bathing, and
it is getting better. The reason it is
improving and getting to be more
desirable is that somebody has dis
covered that the ordinance of the
town regulating bathing privileges
says that bathers must wear bathing
suits between the hours of 8 a. m.
and 6 p. M, the inference being that
bathing apparel is not required dur
ing the rest of the time. When this
bcame known, bathing parties took
their annual baths daily during the
hours of freedom of the dress.
Others are finding out how good 1t is
to have the freedom of the seas, un-
restricted in their submarine and
surface swimming, and are passing
the word along, Come in; the
waters finey'
1t will be interesting to observe
how the accidental oversight in
regulation works out. Bathers
have everywhere shown a tendency
toward the abbreviated bathing suits
and designs have ben under fire only
as they approached nearer and
nearer the disappearing mark, but
no community has had the courage
to remove the lid and invite people |
to try out the former Japanese GUS
tom of greatest convenince and |
maximum economy and sanitation in |
bathing. People have slipped into
bathing suits and shuddered at the
thought of all the possible diseased |
bodies that may have used them be-
lore, and now since Santa Barbara
allows people to mingle on the
beach like little chickens in their
play, here's hoping the town council
leglects to act on the matter long
enough to see how many people pack
Up and go to that place for beach
port. 1t might be the making of
he town.

Letter From sydney Carton to John
 Alden Prescott.
 I haven't written you Jack, be- cause I have been too damn mad. l was afraid to entrust what l would write to the mail bag for fear it would burn up the other letters.
 Of ali selfish, unappreciatiye, ego- tistical, silly asses that I have ever met you take the cake. Do you think I am a man of straw to be thrown about as a buffet for your despicable carcass?
 It is all very well for you 10 write me that self-preservation is the first law Of nature, but what about me {? Do you think 1t was a decent kind of thing to do to let Leslie imagine I was the father of your own baby? For he is your baby. I've got the whole thing from Paula.
 Right here let me say that Paula Terrier is much too good for you and she only put that baby on your door, step because she had an idea Leslie vas the true sweet woman she Is and would take care oT her child when 1t was impossible for her 10 care for it.
 You really didn't enter into her calculations in the least. She only saw that Leslie was iIl and baby was necessary to save her life.
 Think of it. If il is possible that thoughts can be born in that deep tacuum encircled by your skull. The woman whom you wronged was ready to give to the woman you mar red her own child. Partly Of course because she knew 1t would be well taken care Of but more than all else because she knew the gift would probably save Leslie's life
 And you needn't tell mc. Jack. that you haven't helped that damnahie lie of mt fathsrHood. Why. I'll never dare show ms face to Leslie

again. 1 wish I had told her all about you before you were married. suppose you thought it was a brilliant idea, but I'd like 10 smash that mass of emasculated molecules which you probably call your brain, tn which the idea found lodgment.
 You've stretched our friendship too far. Jack. All my life have been the one 10 whom you have come with your troubles brought on by your own assinine acts.
 Now I am through.
 I may as well tell you that Paula is wild to have her baby back. She seems to think she has done her duty by lending fl 10 Leslie long enough to save your Wifc's life and now the boy should be returned to her.
 Of course I told her that, as you had legally adopted it. she could do nothing. But you know Paula-al- thought she has almost lost her &C., cent and become q woman of the world. yet she has it in her to kick ID more trouble than any woman l nave tNeF hHOWns IT fne thinks it IS necessary to gain her ends.
 In the meantime you might well know that I shall not lift a finger 10 help you out Of this dcspicable scrape you have gotten me mired up in. as well as yourself.
 The only thing that worries me in the least is that these two girls yes. I call them girls Tor they are both on the threshold of life-wiri have to suffer long. long years on ac- count Of the shameful and utterly contemptible baseness Of a mans de- sire.
 I'd like 10 write more 10 you but cant find words to express The fury Hiih which your letter nIled me. I'll never forgive you for this. lCopyright. 1928. NEA sefsiCe, IncD

Hookie the Goblin played a very naughty prank on the nice. kind hearted Snitznoodle when the Snitz- noodle was sleeping on Hookie's door step.
 liookic had taken a rope and fast ened il about the Snitznoodle and while the Snitznoodlc was dreaming that the Raggedys were taking him high up above the deep, deep woods in q lovely airship. in reality. the Goblin was pulling the Snitznoodle way up in the air. iiookie could JO this easily because the queer little house was four stories high. with one room built right above the other.
 So by swinging a rope out of the tip top room. Rookie could lift the Snltznoodle high in the air.
 Then. just as the Snitznoodle dreamed that the lovely airship had turned over and he and the Raggedys fell to the ground he awakened with a start. And no wonder.
 Hookie the Goblin had let the Snitznoodle drop all the way to tho hard door step.
 'I wouldn't be a Goblin for all the golden pennies in thr woriI!" the snitznoodIe said as he rubbed the back Of his head.
 Anyone except q snitzuoojle would probably hgvt cried when h. got such hard btsmp. but the SnH zunofle kuCw i would noi help single bit 10 cry. Tn fact" the Snitzn0odle said to himself. 'if cry because the bump on my head hurts. the crying yill only make it hurt much worse'"
 This was quite true as we all knew for crying makes anyone feel very sorry for themselves. and when one feels very sorry for himself. he al- ways think they are hurt a great deal more than they really are. So the only rubbed the bump on his head and kept saying to himself. Tt doesn't hurt very much. It only hurts teeuy weeny bit. And Now it Iocsn't hurt at All.''
 And sure enough, it didn't hurt even a smId zin! !.

neanly as he could. tSnitzuoodles are no good at all except when they are made into saUsaees''
 T shall not talk with you," the SnifznO0dIe replied. For. should I quarrel with you. then I would not be a bit better than you, And eteryone knows that a SnitznOodle is very much better than q Goblint''
 And Of course this was quite true. for SuitznOodlesy have very kindly hearts. eVen if their necks are long.
 So the SnitzHcOdle closed his eyes and in three shakes of a honey bees wing he was snoring so loudly the Goblin had to put his fingers in his ears.
 'I-n give him another bump pretty scgu." the Goblin chuckled as he slowly let the rope down fo catch around the sleeping SnitzRooaIs again. -Csp;ion for iIiustration.--

 The dress sketched shows the ten defcy of smart frocks to be slightly fitted at the waist, a tendency em- phasized by the little horizontal pleats on one side just below the long shawl collar. The side closing is more popular than ever.

STEWS AND POT BOASTS

Savory stews and pot roasts are most acceptable for winter dinners. Cheap cuts of meat can be used to advantag ge. The finished dish is both appetizing and nourishing.
 The success Of such meat dishes de- bends on the careful seasoning and cooking of the meat. Greater skill and cleyerness are required to prepare q delicious stew than to broi an eXpen- siye steak. The steak might be dubbed fool proof" for only the most Nil- lainous cooking could ruin it, while stewing meat and pot roasts must be treated with care and thought to make them popular
 This post roast gains piquancy from the tomatoes and the acid helps to break the fiber of the meat, making it tender.
 Pot Roast of Beef
 Four or hve-pound piece Of beef cut from the fore quarter, 1 onion, bay leaf, 1-i teaspoon pepper. 1 quart can tomatoes, cup boiling water.
 Wipe meat with cheesecloth wrung out of cold water. Rub well with salt, Try fat from a few small pieces of beef stew. The frying pan should be oiled just enough to prevent the meat from sticking. There should be no sur plus fat. Scar the entire surface of the meat in frying pan. Put in stewing pan and add remaining ingredients, Cover tightly and simmer until meat is tender. IL will take about three hours. Arrange meat on a hot plat ter and rub liquor in the pan through a puree sieve, Pour over meat and garnish with parsley.
 sa,ory Meat Balls
 One pound beef cut from lower round, 3-4 cup dried bread crumbs. 1 egg, tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon salt, les teaspoon pepper, few gratines nutmeg, 3 slices fat salt pork, table spoons flour, 1 1-2 cups brown stock or waters pepper.
 Mix about two tablespoons Of finely chopped suct with the lean meat. The butcher will put the meat through his food chopper, Save the bone and boil for the stock. Mix the chopped meat with bread crumbs, salt nutmeg and pepper. Add egg slightly beaten with milk. Mix thoroughtly and form into small balls not more than one and one half inches in diameter. Let stand in cold place for an hour to be- come firm. Try out fat from salt pork. Drop meat balls in the hot fat and brown quickly. Remove balls from fat and pour off all but two tablespoons. Brown flour in fat. Slowly add, stirring constantly, the stock. Bring to the boiling point and add pepper.
