All along The Capital Journal has taken the ponition (1) that the details of establishing a parcel post should be determined by congress, and (2) that the Bourne bill provided a basis for con structive legislative accomplishment. We want something done now. The Postal Progress league, author of the Sulzer and O'Gor man flat-rate bills, has been sending out circulars for the pur pose of defeating the Bourne bill which is called "pernicious." The ground for this criticism is the section which would con solidate the third and fourth mail classifications, thereby wort ing a grave injury to the printing and allied trades. At this particular time, with many senators and representa tives anxious to dodge the issue until aftr November fifth, it is unwise to jeopardize the passage of the Bourne bill by adhering to this plan of consolidation. All legislation is the result of and Senator Bourno should and will, no doubt give way on this point rather than run the riHk of defeating all legislation. The Postal Progress league seems bent upon defeating any and every bill except its own the flat rate. Furthermore, this league does not speak authoritatively in regard to the zone system. At the hearings Senator Bourno asked the president of the league if the association had discussed "at all the establishment of a zone system in the country,'' and received this reply: "No; we did not. We did not consider that advisable." Notwithstanding, the league now calls the system, as applied in the Bourne bill, "pernicious." Prof. T. C. Atkoson, secretary of the legislative committee, National Grange, hit the nail on the head in concluding his state ment before the senate subcommittee. "The people have waited so long," he Raid, "that they will be gratified at any kind of parcel past legislation, but not satisfied with anything short of the widest possible application of the prin ciple." The zone system has been adopted by the Interstate Commerce commission in its revision of express rates. The zone system will probably pass the house. The zone system Rtands the best possible chnnce in the senate. The zone system is approved in the Chicago platform, and so the president will sign a zone system bill. Wherefore the wise course is to amend the Bourne bill so that injustice will not be done in the rates on printed matter and enact it into law at this session. The people have waited longenough. SOME STRENUOUS COMMENTS PROMISED. The Capital News, a Boise paper and supposedly republican, in the following editorial, indicates that the campaign in that state this fall will not be without Interest, and that there will be some juicy reading for those who enjoy other people's troubles. The editorial says: "The republicans of Idaho have nominated their weakest can didate. "He has apparently received the nomination by a plurality that foreshadows his weakness. With a plurality of but 18 votes in a three-cornered contest which brought out some 40,000 votes, there is little in the result to commend the candidate's strength before his own ptple. "Moreover, a nomination gained by a campaign noted for its falsehood, its nasty insinuation, its illegal expenditures of money, its purchased press support, its bargaining of legislation and its studied attempt to deceive and mislead the people, stands but little Bhow of receiving the approval of the good people of Idaho. "About 12,000 republicans- presumably, have said they were willing to support the man who will be declared to have received the nomination, while more than 27,000 of them have said they do not want him. "No campaign was made against him. Each of his opponents was content to stand upon his own merits before the people, while the nominee nnd his friends sought to stand upon a weak ness they attempted to manufacture in his opponents. This manufactured weakness brought him less than a third of the expressed strength of his party, while the merits of his oppon ents brought them more than two-thirds of their party's vote. "In the ensuing campaign it is to be expected that his record, his life, his entanglements, his associations everything calcu lated to inform the people as to the character and kind of man they are asked to elevate to the position of chief executive of the state will be gone into most fully. If he could not stand the test where no gun was fired, how can he possibly stand under heavy fire of guns loaded to the muzzle." THE ROUND-UP Hv. I. V.

This display of heavenly fireworks, I to bo visible to the naked eye, will j continue throughout tonight nnd Wed-I nesduy nights. Tho savants explain that this phe nomenon Is caused by tho earth pass ing through the thickest portion of the meteoric particles known as Perseus r.howers, the effect, of which Is that the heavenB abound with swiftly mov ing shooting stars, darting in all di rections. It Is pointed out that tho display ought to he unusually brilliant this year, as there Is no moon to obscure Its brightness.
