By direction of the national com
mittee a convention of republican
delegates to nominate party candi
dates for president and vice-pres
ident of the United States will be
! held at St, Louis June lfi, The cus
tomary state and county conventions
and primary meetings in accord
with established usage will precede
tiie national convention. To prepare
for a full, fair and explicit express
ion of republican sentiment and pol
ity concerning current issues likely
to engage these various party assem
blages, and more efficiently to effect
party organization, the time is com
paratively limited.
Your attention is respectfully called
to the many important questions
with which the republican partj
must deal in the approaching cam
paign. Few periods in our national
life have been so momoutous. Ques
tions which go to the very root of
our independence, our free institu
tions and our personal liberties are
demanding consideration. A con
catenation of blunders by a demo
cratic president and a democratic
congress have raised dangers that
press lor removal and issues that
must be solved. They involve poli
cies of national revenue, the estab
lishment of an intelligent monetary
system, national defences, internal
improvements, a decent regard for
the old soldier, protection lbr labor
and a dignified and rigorous enforce
ment of our international policy.
It is gratifying to know that
our state still stands enrolled a3 one
of lie;' galaxy of republican common»
wealths, aud that there are no symp
toms of any approaching fall from
grace. Harmony prevails in repub
lican ranks and faith predominates
the republican heart. Nevertheless
no effort should be spared to main
tain our party supremacy so through
ly and magnificently established
within the state. However deep the
principles of republicanism may be
planted in the hopes and aspirations
of our people, their perpetuity
should still further be assured by
party organizations throughout the
state. Overconfidence may depreci
ate their value and imperil success.
Need it be said that the loss of
Idaho to the reptiblcan party at this
time would be followed by adverse
circumstances of a most distressing
and ruinous nature.
To advance the truths of repub«
in all parts of the Union |
the National Republican League is :
engaging its best efforts. State j
leagues ot the various states and ter- '
l iteries *.re co operating with the 1
mendable end in view. !

party membership are approved by
republican leaders of our own state
and nation at large. As auxiliaries
of national and statecoir.inittes, the
league bodies have been accorded
the most flattering encomiums.
No state can do without the system
of local, county and state clubs.
Republicans everywhere in tiie state
are appealed to act at once.
To facilitate the formation of
league clubs, as here suggested, Mr.
M. J. Dowling, secretary of the Na
tional Republican League, Audi

IT MUST BE A FACT.
At least a score of persons have
asked the Times if it is a fact that
an order prohibiting trains from
stopping in Bellevue has been is
sued - '' It is doubtless a fact.
Last Wednesday a lady boarded the
train at Hailey, who was going to
join the Ilaiiej" laidies at the party
at Mrs. Miller's. She asked the
Times reporter to have the train
stop to let her off opposite the Mil
ler residence.
The reporter went to the engi
neer's cab to make the request, in
tending. if the engineer had no ob
jection, to ask the conductor to stop.
The fireman was alone in the cab.
In answer to the request of the news

could no longer stop in Bellevup,
either coming or going, an order
prohibiting it having been issued
"about a week ago."—Wood River

Who Are Widows.

kinds of widows in the social world,

the other whose husband is divorced,

wife in the eyes of the law is not
a widow but a single woman with
only the rights and'privileges that
belongs to her class, among which is
certainly not the privilege of wid
ows' exemption from property tax.
In one or two cases the board all
owed a rebate of taxes assessed
against divorces upon the ground
that they were widows. They
were for trivial amounts, but W'hen
Mrs. C. M. Leitch came in with an
application to rebate her taxes for

executives counted this a principal
source of revenue. Finally the
fee was abolished by legislative en

was sufficiently increased to cover
the fees thus lost. General Arthur
St.Clair, who was then governor of
the territory, vetoed the bill abolish

performance, so the story goes, so <
