THE WATER QUESTION,

Voters, here is q vital thing to
think of. The gigantic water ques-
ton is bound to come up in the
courts in the next four years. For
that reason the corporation lawyers
are fighting Judge Nugent to the
bitter end, and they want corpor-
alton lawyer on the bench so that the
giant water monopolies can calmly
go into court, knowing beforehand
that the Judiciary Is with them. Are
you going to allow it? Are YOU
going to let the ring lawyers of mo-
nopoly down Judge Nugent, because
they know that on that question, in
which the most vital interests of the
people are involved, he will stand for
the peoples rights as firm and i'm
movable as the foundation of the
world itself? The question of water
will be one so deep that it will re-
quire the broadcast and most farsee
ing legal mind, the most intricate
knowledge of law (Which is only Sc
cured by years of study, and man
steeled against the influence of brib-
cry, to grasp and settle it. There is
only one thing left for voters to do.
They dare not allow corporation
lawyer, for whom the other water
corporation lawyers are desperately
fighting, to be put on the bench If
they do they are hopelessly gone.
They dare not put on the bench a
man who has only practiced law two
or three years; he will be proven ut
terly incapable; his legal experience
and knowledge of law cannot possibly
have the capacity to handle the deep
points that will arise. If the people
elect him the people are hopelessly
gone. The only hope, the only light
through the menacing cloud, is to
elect Judge Nugent, who stands forth
brilliant and honest in the whole
field of law, who will sit on the
bench and guard the peoples rights
as firmly as Timoleon of old He is
our only hope.

MR., RICHARDS.

When Mr.. Richards stands calmly
by and allows his friends and sup
porters to falsely assail Judge NJ
gent in the most vicious manner he
throws down the bars and causes us
to casually remark that Richards is a
director and shareholder in the Pay
cite Valley Bank, Payette Land &
Improvement Co., Payette Valley r.
rigation and Water Power Co.,
Golding Hop Co., Boise Irrigation,
Land & Lumber Co., and is direc-
tor of the Ridenbaugh Canal in Ada
county. When the farmers were try
ing to get an irrigation bill passed by
the last legislature by which the ditch
companies were to charge only 81. 90
per inch, and allow them to use Just
such number of inches as they re-
quired from one year to another, Mr..
Richards informed the chairman of
committee on irrigation that if that
bill passed that all the companies in
which he was interested would shut
down their head gates. He knew
that as the ground became thoroughly
moistened less number Of inches of
water would be required to irrigate it
from year to year and was largely in
strumental in defeating the bill

JOURNALISTIC PROSTITUTION

OF all the various forms of this
detestable vice, none Is to be com
pared for injurious effects on the
public to that of newspaper that
will, for a consideration, depart from
the truth, or distort facts, in its efforts
to defeat justice and further the ends
of corrupt cliques that are willing and
able to pay for such service. The
manner in which the Statesman is
conducting the campaign against
Judge Edward Nugent is very
marked specimen of this class OF
journalism. All its articles should
be headed ''Paid Persecution, as il
has become apparent to all readers
that the vindictive articles against
the Judge are only specimens of lit
erary prostitution, and the rot and
nonsense about the best interests of
the country are only thin subter-
fuge, and the idea of lawyers sud
denly becoming alarmed over the
excessive cost Of litigation, interests
of clients, ETC., 'foxes complaining
because the geese are fat. The
Statesman knows, and all its readers
know, that the real reason back of it
all is the fact that q certain acuter
corporation as attempting to &c
tend its privileges, and in order to
do so a judge of a more flexible
nature than Edward Nugent would
be extremely convenient So
deeply interested in the well
fare of the idolized public as
the Statesman assumes to be, why has
1T not called public attention to these
alleged wrongs at the times they
were committed? Then they might
have merited some attention; but to
wait until election time and then
have such a spasm of virtuous indig-
nation is unnatural-sayors q little of
abortion.
Edward Nugent's record as Judge
in Washington county is perfectly
clear, and none of the charges made
against him by the Statesman can be
substantiated in this county. ANY
citizen who comes into his court will
receive the full protection of the law.
1t is also very noticeable that in all
the attacks made no word has ever
been uttered questioning his integrity
and ability, and the people of Wash
ington county will endorse him again
on the 9th of November, notwith-
standing the groanings of disappoint-
ed opponents for the place and the
malignan prosecutions of a paid press.

IN COURT.
II the SIGNAL had an important case on
hand-if it had property rights in jeop-
ardy and was obliged TO appeal to the law
for justice 1t would get as good lawper
as it conld TO look after its interests. II
would have implicit confidence in his
judgement. his loyalty and his faithful
ness; and it would commit its case to his
care in absolute confidence that he would
not wilfully betray it.-Boise Statesman.
That is just exactly what we
would do, and with every confidence,
if we knew that the Judge before
whom the case were to be tried was
beyond any influence from the other
side other than a strict Interpretation
of the law; if he was man who
would divest his mind of everything
in the world except the case before
him and the points of law that bore
upon it, who would stand the case
up before him and strip it to utter
nakedness, and apply the law strict
ly, calmly, decsively and straight as
die, forgetting utterly who were
the attorneys for or against. Then
we would have the utmost confidence
that our able counsel would win the
case if the law was on our side of the
scales. But we will suppose we were
involved in some such case and had
to go to Boise to procure counsel
Time has stepped back short period.
How would the aspect be for us then?
We would look over the situatisn and
would find this:
A legal "cock -of-the- walk" strut
ting among the other attorneys. He
alone can win a case. He is the at
torney of all the corporations of
Idaho. He goes into court and car
ries his point unquestioned. The
judge bows submissively to the legal
Kings individuality and no other at
torney can gain recognition no mat
ter how right. How much, Mr.,
King, to take my case into court and
tell the judge to give you decision?
$2500l Another attorney would
take the case for $500, but we would
loose because the legal giant would
be on the olher side to tell the court
to go the other way We grasp the
situation, submit, allow ourselves to
be bled for $500 and win. Or per-
hape he puts his influence up at auc-
ton and has the court decide for
whichever one will plank up the big
gest fee. The legal Goliah has thus
built up a fortune in his practice.
Time passes on and Judge Nugent
is on the bench. We then give our
case TO another attorney at $500.
The giant walks in and says; ''Your
Honor, | am the Boss, | demurrer to
the complaint. " The court calmly
replies: "The other side is in order
and in strict accordance with the
law-your demurrer is over-ruled. -
The "boss s. jaw drops. No more
cinch on the courts. tIe sees that
smaller attorneys will have an equal
show if they are in the right. He
sees all those fat fees slipping away
from his cinch. He sees that clients
are going to employ lower priced
counsel who can win cases as well as
he. He walks out of court refuses
to practice in it, and pours money
light and left in the most desperate
and vindictive effort to defeat the
Judge for reelection. That is abso-
lutely the truth of the situation.
Will the voters allow it to succeed?
