Idaho County should make firm reso-
luton that Idaho County's lost repre-
sentative shall be regained. This can
be accomplished two years hence, if
Idaho county people will go to the
polls, and vote.
If some recognized authority were
to tell the 500 Idaho county voters
who stayed away from the polls in
1920 that they dare not vote, they
they must not exercise their right of
franchise for one reason or another.
ringing battle cry, in defense of its
constitutional right, would arise
from a justly enraged populace Yet
500 people, lukewerm to their civic
duty, indifferent to public affairs, will
deliberately fail to participate in an

BORAH rs UNABLE TO
ATTEND PRESS MEET

Marked disappointment was regis
tered by many because of inability of
U. S. Senator William e. Borah to fill
his speaking engagement in Grange
vile Wednesday, at the time of the
North and South highway dedication.
Senator Borah had accepted the in
vitation of the Idaho State Editorial
association to join the caravan at
Weiser and proceed to Boise. His
original plan was to arrive last FRI
day in Boise, where his offices have
already been established for the sum-
mer, but on Saturday telegram was
received from the senator, telling of
his inability to join the caravan. The
senator wired from Washington,
where he explained he was unavoid-
ably detained, and would not leave
the national capitol before Tuesday
Of this week.

FRIENDS AND FRIENDS

Greetings have been poured out by
the people of Grangeville and north
Idaho to the south Idaho caravaners
who have been here this week-the
members of the Idaho State Editorial
association, the Idaho Automobile as
ISOLATION, and kindred societies which
joined in the caravan and the hearty
welcome will be continued as the
south Idaho folk journey further into
the north, to Lewiston and Moscow.
The tour of these south Idaho peo-
pie, characterized as south Idaho folk
simply because they happen TO reside
in the southern part of the state, and
not because they are any different
than we in the north, for we are all |
Americans and Idahoans, will be
memorable event in the history of the
state. 1t will mark the closing of the
chasm which has divided the people
of Idaho since the earliest days of
settlement in the Orc Elmo and Flor
ence placer camps and the Boise basin.
The dream of the pioneers, and of
those who have succeeded them. has
at last been realized, and while by
this centralized movement of a united
Idaho that has been manifest here, the
people of Idaho have not leveled the
lofty mountains that divide the state.
nor bridged the chasms, they NAV
now, with ease, go down into the can
yons, and rise again on the other side.
within the brief space of a few hours.
and still be at home, and among
friends-in Idaho.

WHITEHEAD SURFACING

1t is indeed fitting that, at the pres
ent time, when the eyes of all Idaho
are centered upon the North and
South highway, the state department
of public works should call for bids
for surfacing with crushed rock the
Whitebird hill from the town of
Whitebird to connect with the end of
the present macadam, at the top of
the grade.
While this project has been con-
templated for several months. and
as early as last April the board of
county commissioners authorized CO.
operation to the extent of $4,000, the
state and federal governments have
only recently been able to definitely
proceed, with assurance that the work
will be under way in the immediate
future.
While during the late spring, sum-
mer and fall this stretch of highway
is in excellent condition with only a
dirt road, not as much can be said in
the winter and spring months. But II
will no longer be muddy or slippery
road in the seasons of heavy precipi-
tation, for the surfacing will make II
an ideal year-around highway, which
win be of great benefit to the peonle
of the Salmon river country.

DAVIS CHOSEN
AS LEADER Of

Bryan, of Nebraska, Nominee
for Vice President, Broth
er w. ]. Bryan

New York, July Swelling up
through all the bitterness of the days
and nights that have gone, mighty,
formless, roaring shout like a great
sigh of relief blasted its way through
the dingy trappings of Madison
Square Garden today to tell that a
nomination had come; that q decis-
ion had been reached and that John
w. Davis of West Virginia had been
named by acciamation to carly the
Democratic standard for 1924.
At last against all the bitter cross
currents of the sweltering days and
nights that lay behind, the dead
locked convention that will live in
political history forever had been
broken through the long jam of con-
fiicting opinion. Almost without
realizing what it had done, it hurled
itself as one man into the rush that
brought Davis votes flooding faster
than clerks could write the record.
Resistless as the Surge of the seas,
the Davis tide engulfed the wearied
host, and the battle was over.
Down in the West Virginia section,
the "fool friends" who had stuck it |
out through all the conflict to win
victory at last, though tired and |
weary, were frantic with joy. All
about them hollow-eyed men and |
women worn with the long struggle,
forgot their fatigue in generous sa-
Lutte to the new leader Of the Demo- 1

MONEY FOR ROADS

Let the people of the Grangevill,
Highway district not overlook i'm
portance of constructing the link OF
the North and South highway through
this district, TO connect with Fem.
On next Tuesday, the voters of the
district will decide whether or not
the district will bond itself for $685.
900, in order to aid in financing the
road The federal government will
pay 50 percent of the cost of this
road, which is one of the vital neces-
stiles of Camas Prairie. 1t will per-
haps be the last highway to be built
in the district for Several years to
come, yet it is one of the most import
ant of any road that has been built
in Idaho county. With the exception
of the Salmon river highway, the
Grangevillc-Cottonwood link may be
regarded as the most vital, for it con-
meets Grangeville and Lewiston, Mos
COW and Spokane with rock-sur-
faced highway that may be Travelled
by motor every month of the year.
Even the most careless observer
cannot fail to note the rapid strides
that Idaho county has made in the
last few years, since good highways
have become an important factor in |
central Idaho. Thousands of persons
who had scarcely more than heard
of Idaho county before our system of
highways was open to travel, have
visited Idaho county, have been favor
ably impressed with its magnifcence,
with its bonntiful crops, and its splen.
