JUDGE BuCK.--The Idaho Democrat wants
us to reconcile Judge Bucks conduct as
good judge, with charges made by anony-
nous correspondents in the .NeWs. That
is not cur business and we see no occasion
for making any effort in that direction.
Judge Buck remains unscathed bv every
member of the bar in north Idaho, whethe,
democrat or republican, and no private citi.
zen has ever assailed him through the press
over his own signature. What more Is
wanted: Let the Dem1era' itself, do this
job OF reconciliation it calls for to its own
satisfaction. 1t Is not our province to reply
to every sneak who can obtain the columns
OF newspaper in which to drizzle out his
manufactured slime against an honest, and
upright and impartial judge over foigncd
signatures. All we have ever said about
Judge Buck was to deny his Offensive par
tizanship as "A Judge, and affirm that he is
an able, conscientious, learned ard impair
tial Judge amt an upright iuan The entire
bar OF north Idaho, including democrats,
have passed solemn resolutions declaring the
same sentiment In sustaining these demo-
cratic and republican lawyers we certainly
are not giving offensive partiZan'' utter
ances any more than Judge Buck ,nes.e by
acting the part of Gn able conscientious.
learned and impartial judge and an upright
man. Ask us some question OF pullc i'm.
portance that Is hard, aud perhaps we NAV
answerlt. IL we are unable, we can easily
refer to the Ne~s, our cutemporary which
claims to be learned in these matters.
DISTURBING RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLIES. In
the statute OF crimes and puhish,nents Of
this territory. chapter . section 1913. we find
the following: Every p rson who shall
wlfully disquiet or disturb any congrega-
ton or assembly of people met for religious
worship. by making noise or by rude and.
indecent behavior or profane discourse with.
in their place of worship Or so near to the
same AS to disturb the order or solemnty of
the meeting or menace, threaten or assault
any person there being, shah be guilty Of
misdemeanor. and punished by fine not
exceeding one hundred dollars, or by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail not exceeding
three months, or by both such fine and I'M
prsonmcnt together with the costs of the
suit. The above statute was enacted in
this territory at an early date, showing that
the moral sentiment Of the early settlers
frowned at all acts which tended to disturb
any class of citizens that engaged in rel,g-
ous worship. The same sentiment still
prevails throughout the territory, and in
the estimation of every man, woman and
child having intelligence aud respect for
right, acts of disorder at religious gather
'ngs the party or parties guilty are without
excuse. 1t sometimes happens that wor
shippers themselves commit excuses that in
orderly minds, inspire vein of mirth and
even rilicu!e. But that furnishes no excuse
to others for disturbing them, unless they
violate the peace of the ncighborhood ont
siie their plac $ of worship and in such
cases they are liable to the law the same as
| any other disturbers Of the peace. 1t is inn
portant that our youth should fully UNDER
stand their liabilities
