THE LEADER. VS. THE BOSS.
The leader is not aman who
thinks for the people but who
thinks with the people. The
leader is going in the same direc
tion that the people are goingfar
enough to be in advance but not
far enough to be out of sight.
The leader is not only in sympa
thy with the people but he relies
upon persuasion to influence
them. He presents his arguments
to them but recognizes the rights
of the people to reject any prop
osition submitted by him. The
leader's title to leadership rests
upon his ability to propose the
best thing at the right time and,
as those who follow the leader
follow him voluntarily, he must
appeal to their conscience and
their judgment. The leader is a
moulder of opinion, and a mould
erof opinion does notcreate pub
lic opinion—he merely expresses
it in effective language. As
Thomas Jefferson simply put it
into appropriate words the aspi
rations of the people, so today,
the leader—the moulder of public
opinion—coins into current lang
uage the sentiment, like precious
metal, which experience brings
forth from humanity's great
storehouse.
The boss, however, is an en
tirely different character—if the
word "character" can be applied
to one who is often without char
acter. The boss has no sympa
thy with the people; he has his
own interests to serve and what
ever authority he can secure he
turns to his private advantage.
The boss is an embezzler of power,
and, measured by every moral
standard, he is in the same crim
inal class with the embezzler of
money. The boss has introduced
bribery, corruption and intimi
dation into politics and he will
go out whentheseareeliminated.
"Let the people rule" is as much
a terror to the boss as the com
mandment, "Thou shalt not
steal," is to the thief. The
spread of the primary is only a
reaction from boss rule and, like
every other plan for the bringing
of the government nearer to the
people, the primary system in
creases the relative influence of
the real leader and lessens the in
fluence of the boss.—Wallace

PROMISE OF THE DESERT.
If the thornless cactus will do
half as well as a forage plant as
is claimed for it, it will revolu
tionize stock feeding and range
conditions in eastern Oregon,
says the Pendleton East Oregon
ian; aud what is true of Eastern
Oregon is true of southeastern
and southern Idaho. If, instead
of producing 80 tons per acre, it
can produce 40 or even 30 tons
per acre, it will work a radical
change in stock raising in this
and other countries of the inter
mountain region.
Alfalfa is not the only crop ad
apted to the arid and semi-arid
lands of this country. The
homely sunflower will make
man rich who will grow it in
large enough quantities, culti
#
a
vate, harvest it and market it
with proper care and diligence.
The rubber plant of New Mex
ico and Arizona will also grow in
luxuriant abundanceon the high
est, dryest knolls in the sandy
belts and will yield from $30 to
$75 per acre, according to the
cultivation and care bestowed
upon it.
People get into a rut and come
to think nothing but old varieties
of crops can be raised at a profit,
while all about them lie new op
portunities of which they do not
even dream.

Discourtesy to Wives,
Spokane Review: A well known
Spokane man met two women, stop
ped and conversed with them. As
he did so he raised his hat in salu
tation and removed his cigar.
When he left them his hat was
raised again. In this he did as
every well bred gentleman would do.
Soon afterward he met his wife on
the street and stopped to talk with
her, hut there was no motion of
hand to hat either at me.ting or
parting
Everybody knows that the inch
dent is by no means unusual. Yet
is there any reason why the wife
should not receive the same courte
ous recognition as the mere ac
quaintance? When a girl takes
upon herself the marriage vows at
the alter is it right that she should
thereby give up all claim to the lit
tle courtesies of life previously paid
to her by the man she marries?
Why should a husband be le3S po
lite to his wife than other men are
to her? Why is it that when you
see a man greet a woman on the
street without the usual salutation
of a gentleman you invariably say.
whether you know them or not,
"He's her husband."
Mackay Miner: Senator W. B.
Heyburn's term of office expires
this year, and the voters are to
name his successor. Mr. Heyburn
has so faithfully discharged the
duties of his office and worked so
untiringly for Idaho, that there is
little, if any, opposition to his de
sire to succeed himself. Mr. Iley
burn has earned a return to the
office. He is, without doubt, the
best qualified man the people could
choose as a representative. Duting
his term of office he has done much
for the state, proving himself fear
less in the discharge of duty, and
today, is recognized as one of the
strongest debators of the nation.
Supremely qualified for the place,
a record that has gained for him na
tional recognition of. worth, he
should be regarded by the people as
the logical, safe and best represent
ative they could choose. We trust
our county central committee will
induce Mr. Heyburn to visit Custer
county this year.
