MAY POINT WITH PRIDE.
President Roosevelt's reply to the
notification committee was a plea
to "stand pat." It was a moderate,
sensible talk, pointing out what
the Republican partv has done in
the past seven years and asking for
its continuance in power on the
ground of its record. The party's
strong hold on the nation is due to
the fact that it does things; and the
President is able to urge what it
lias accomplished on the currency,
the Tariff, the trusts, Cuba, the
Isthmian canal and the Philippines
as a reason why it should retain
the confidence of the country. This
record is one to which the party
may properly point with pride, as
the President does, and to offset it
in the minds of the peop'e is the
difficult task liefore the Democratic
party. That this mav be clone is
the hope of some of its members,
but even the most enthusiastic must
admit that it is an arduous under
taking. —Ex.
WONT HAVE NOMINATION.
W. H. Stufflebeam who was
nominated by the Democrats at
their Lewiston convention for State
Auditor, lias declined to accept the
nomination and lias notified Chair-j
man Jackson of the Democratic
State Contrai Committee of his I
<leclination. When the rest of the J
nominees get through declining
there wont he a corporals guard left !
oti the Democratic State ticket.
The course of study offered by
the Ricks Academy of Rexburg
has been published a copy of which
is on our editorial desk. Aside
from the regular college courses
the Academy teaches many of the
trades arts, and sciences are ably
taught by some of the most learned
professors of the west. This is one
of the institutions the state and
count} should be proud of, as it is
without doubt one of the best
schools in the state.
The principle of Protection is so
well established that the Democrats
themselves are not likely to assail
it openly. They will doubtless
declare merely for Tariff revision.
The Republicans may well
this by pointing out the mischief
of dragging hack into politics a
business question merely to serve
as a convenient rallying cry for an
office-hungry crowd of politician

The Moscow Mirror says :
Since the adjournment of the re
cent state convention we have
heard it remarked several times by
Democrats and sometimes by Re
publicans that South Idaho did not
"deal fairly by North Idaho;" that
the delegates came here with a
slate fixed practically ignoring the
northern five counties and, further
more, that they have always done
the same thing. There always has
been and always will be political
agitators and dissenters and it must j
lie reasonable to expect that our
Democratic opponents will say and
ido all they can to 'prejudice the
public'mind against the action of
both state and national Republican :
conventions, thereby hoping to j
recruit the depleted ranks of their
party. But those who are Repub- !
licans, those who believe in die'
principles of the Republican party,
who believe that the state of Idaho
can be better and more wisely
served by a Republican administra- 1
ition, believe that our nominees for
President and Vice President
should be elected, would do well to
pause and consider whether their
statements are true. In the mo
ment of passion or disappointment
any of us might say or do things
we would afterwards regret. The
more injury our thoughtless words
have caused the more deeply we
would be pained, and, judging the
future by the past, what greater
injury could we do the state of
Idalio-than by turning it over to
Democratic management, provided
such a thing were possible.
We must be fair and honorable
toward our neighbors in the south,
as well as in the north, if we
would be successful in the future
as we have been in the past. The
northern, or panhandle, counties
consist of Shoshone, Kootenai,
Latah, Nez Perce and Idaho coun
tie«—five in all. While in the
entire state there are twenty-one
counties, therefore what is called
"South Idaho" has one more than
three times as many counties as we
in the north. The recent state
convention was called to nominate
the following ; One member of the
Supreme Court, one Congressman,
one Governor, one Lieutenant
Governor, one Secretary of State,
one Treasurer, one Auditor, one
Superintendent of Schools, one
State Mine Inspector and three
Presidential Electors, or thirteen
in all, to be appointed among
twenty-one counties. Our propor
tion, therefore, would be as fol
lows: As twentv-oue is to five so
ture and Science, Schcol of Mines
and Experiment Farm, is the most
I important of all. Next in impor
J tance is the Lewiston Normal
School, all of which have been
! conceded us by our Southern breth
is thirteen to the number we would !
be mathematicallv entitled to, be- j
ing 3 2-21, for which were nomi
nated one candidate for Congress, |
one Elector and one member cf the j
State Board of Equalization, or
State Auditor, besides we have
from Shoshone county a United
States Senator, W. B. Heyburn,
and from Idaho county, a member
of the Supreme court, Judge Ail
shie.
Of the state institutions created
since our admission, the Univer
sity, with its School of Agricul
the South
j vention completed its
|ed
Iren. The U. S. Court is also a
'concession to us, coming as it did
through the efforts of a Latah Sen
ator and Congressman who could
not have been elected without the
lovai support of South Idaho.
I file convention ofTepresentative
men, which recently assembled
here to nominate a Republican
ticket, and the other convention in
Lewiston, assembled to nominate a
Democratic ticket, both prove to
the world that Idaho
stale peopled by a progressive peo
ple knowing no North or no South,
no dividing line in either state
nation but all pulling together for
the common good. Therefore, be
lieving as we do that onr neople
in North Idaho are a fair-minded
j and just people, we beg leave to
suggest that nothing more be said
about the mythical unfairness of
'file nominating
abors and
adjourned. Some were disappoint
must always he the case, but

the convention did its duty as God
gave it light and under His guid
ance we feel assured of the election
of the entire ticket.
A victory for Parker in 11*04
would bring calamity quicker than ;
it came in the Cleveland case, for
Parker lacks Cleveland's ability,
independence and sanity on the
money issue, and lie shares Cleve

LOVE DIES.
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says the?e
comes a time in the course of marrie»! love
when "the thrill groes out of the hand
clasp and the kiss at times, and it is then
that husband and wife may be susceptible
to other magnetic personalities." The rea
son for this condition of affairs is often the
fault of the husband, but how often is it
not due to the wife's nervousness and irri
tability due to some trouble with the or
gans peculiarly feminine—the wife under
such circumstances feels languid aud spir
itless—she suffers perhaps from headache
and sleeplessness.

sonable trial of their means of cure.
