BORAH'S RETIREMENT
By aeOTT C. BOXE. In Seattle P« art-Intelligencer.
Idaho will lose the services of its
senior senator on the third of March.
1919, when he will have completed
his second term.
Borah—William Edgar Borah—Is
an interesting personality. The in
termountain states have sent no oth
er man to congress who has figured
qq:te so conspicuously in the affairs
of the nation and the politics of the
eountry. Warren, of Wyoming, who
is completing his third term, having
previously held a seat in the hous<
for four years, has attained higher
committee rank, thanks to un Inter
rupted tenure; Clark, of the sam*
state, has been similarly ' favored
Smoot, of Utah, who has worn th<
toga for 14 years, has been active
and potent in party councils, always
though identified with the standpat
wing and handicapped by prejudice
against Mormonism; Walsh, of Mon
tana, successor
Tom Carter, has won real distinction,
on the other side of the chamber
for sheer ability during his initial
term, while Mondell, Wyoming's sol

have come and gone and left theii
marks in the halls of fame,

area of the realy twentieth century,
which has made and unmade
many statesmen, has been the unique
and distinctive figure at Washington

years to
Many Republicans throughout the
country were firmly of the opinion
a year ago that the ideal ticket to
nominate at Chicago would be Root,
for president, and Borah, for
president, thus giving recognition to
(he conservatives and progressives
>nd uniting the extreme east and ex
'reme west. The combination was
egarded as most logical and prornls
ng of strong appeal to popular fa-*
or. It minimized, too, the objection
o Root on account of his years in
taming a rtinning mate of demon
strated ability and in his very prime.
But fate decree it otherwise. The
hoice of Hughes had been fore-or- j
lained and Borah was one of hla j
supporters.

If the Idahoan enterta'ns White :

easily understandable.
The United States senate is not a
stepping stone to the pr sidency. I
.ohn Sherman d.scovered this fact
generations ago and carried the sor- j
row of it to his grave. Weeks, of
Massachusetts, Burton, of Ohio, and
Cummins, of Iowa, were made pain
fully aware of it only last year; and
Henry Cabot Lodge, whom Ti R. pro

has ever been. The people do not
look to the senate to furnish presi
dents. Possibly its reputation in the
past as the American House of Lords,
before it became transformed into a !
popular body and lost much of its
traditional greatness, may account
for the fact. Be this as it may, the !
fact remains. A governor may much ,
more easily cl mh the White House
adder than a senator. Garfield had

term in the senate and returned to
Indianapolis when the highest honor

re-election in the house and election

of him.
Roosevelt was governor of
New York and Woodrow Wilson gov
ernor of New Jersey.
Political history, therefore, gives
ample warrant to Borah for leaving
the senate, if it be true that he has
hitched his wagon to a loftier star.
