The Alan race track scandal s a d sgrace to the state of IJal o and should be su pressed by the n txt legislature. Clarence Dai row may never bt convicted of bribery, but suffi cient evidence ha.s already been produced to show that he and Gompers are but little better than the McNamarah Bros, whom they were seeking to shield front jus tice when caught in the act. As the season for forest fires approaches great care should be taken in the matter of starting and extinguishing campfires and other blazes. The danger from electric storms is great to standing timber and can not well be avoid ed but conflagrations started by carelessness are well nigh crimi nal and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. "No bolt for me." This remark by Senator Borah when question ed by newspaper reporters as to the probable bolting of the Roose velt republicans in the event of Taft's nomination, should com mend the Senator to every re publican in Idaho. Regardless of who is nominated in Chicago Mr. Borah wants it distinctly un derstood he is for the nominee and still a republican. We are in receipt this week of a communication from Chas. W. Dempster of Soda Springs, who announces himself a candidate for the office of Lieutenant Govern or on the republican ticket. Mr. Dempster was secretary of the senate during the last session of the legislature and filled that im portant position with credit to himself and honor to the state. Mr. Dempster has been a consis tent republican all his life and should he be nominated to this important office and elected, the people would have a public ser vant qualified and faithful to his trust. Tomorrow is flag day and every American who loves his country should show his reverence for the starry banner, in the shadow of whose folds more men have died in the cause of freedom and the advancement of the liberties of the race; than under the flags of all other countries combined. No matter how bitter the partisan a uarrel, no matter how much men iffer on questions affecting the construction of the Constitution, the sight of old glory and the rec ollections of the deeds of the fathers and victory quiets all fraternal passion, and one and all take new resolve, that so long as it waves, a symbol of our national unity, and so long as we as a nation con tinue to be the champion of liberty and the protector of the weak, ' it shall ever demand our reverence and devotion. who followed it to death Idaho's Direct Primary. The primary election occurs Tuesday July 30th. All nomination papers must be filed with the county auditor thirty days prior to election, or June 30th. Fifteen days after primary elec tion the county nominees shall meet-and'select a central commit tpe of npt less than one nor more than three for each precinct. Twenty-five days after election the county central committee shall meet for the purpose of organiza tion and also for the purpose of; electing a member of the state central committee. 1 . r The presentcounty contrai com mittee of all parties must meet at the comity seats on the second Tuesday in June of this year and s led delegates to a state platform convention. In this convention each party will be entitled to three delegates for each member it has in the lower house of the] legis'at ire. The stale platform convention meets in boise at noon on the last Tuesday in June. Thus the plat form will be drafted a month be fore the primary election. Any candidate not desiring to run on the platform adopted can withdraw providing he does so within ten days after the adoption of the platform. There will be some change in the arrangements of the ballot this year in that the names will be changed in position in each office division so that one name because of its alphabetical order will not necessarily head each division throughout the ballots for each precinct. For instance Jones might be a candidate for governor and head the list on the first ballot. On the succeeding ballot the position would be changed and this change will be followed systematically for as many names as appear in that particular office division. Under the old law, 15 per cent of the first year's salary was per mitted for personal expenses of candidates whether for state, dis trict or county officers. This year it is 25 per cent for state of ficers, congressmen or U. S. sen ators, 15 per cent for candidates for district judge and 10 per cent for county officers except com missioners and members of the legislature who are limited to $100 each. It is optional whether a voter shall vote for second choice or not. The candidate receiving the highest number and not less than 40 per cent of the first choice votes shall be declared the nom If no one receives 40 per inee. cent then the first and second choice votes shall be added and the highest man declared the nominee. History of Our Flag. The first American flag witii a blue field and white stars came into exist ence June 14, 1777. It was made by Mrs. Betsy Ross. The Stars and Stripes were first un furled in battle at Coach's Bridge, Delaware, September 3, 1777. The first Stars and Stripes hoisted on Paul Jones' ship, the ranger, was made by Portsmouth girls from slives of their best silk gowns. It is said this flag was flying at the mast of the Bon Homme Richard when it sank in the fierce battle with the Serapis. The Army of the Revolution had been fighting two years before the first star spangled banner was made. The first battles of the Revolution were fought at Lexington and Concord, April 19, 1775. The first salute given the Stars and Stripes by a foreign power occured at Brest Road where the French fleet sa luted Paul Jones' flag November 1, 1777. Jones was in command of the Ranger. Blake Items. Hoeing is the order of the day. The dry weather for the past week has made the crops grow very fast. Winter wheat has headed out. Hay ing will commence a little earlier than usual and the crop will be good. The fruit crop does not look quite as big as it did two weeks ago. It has blighted and fallen. The pears will not be more than five per cent of a crop; apples may be 20 per cent, cherries 50 per cent and plums 10 per cent.

The negative evidences are, in practice, even more important than the positive. It is from these negative evidences, which are frequently overlooked, that nine tenths of all title-troubles spring. They show whether there are standing against the title, taxes, assessments, judgments, mortgages, liens-whether title has properly passed by will or administration, probate or heirship, etc. The information about such things is widely scattered in the public records, but in our complete records every existing piece of evidence is gathered together and filed together under the individual piece of property concerned. That's Why we can furnish abstracts as firmly constructed as a steel building on a rock foun dation. If we tell you a title is clear, it is unassailable, plain a service really scientific.
