A Need OF the Hour.

There wac probably never zine in the
history of the world when social problems
were given greater degree of attention than
is accorded them today. 1t lis pre-eminently
a transition period. Out of its growth and
development, there can be little reason to
materially to bring labor and capital into
closer and more sympathetic relations, that
will contribute to the comforts and the pleas
ures of the industrial masses, and vastly
decrease Human misery and want.
No development can accomplish I'M
possibilities. 1t cannot save men frcm
the Just punishments of their own weak
ness and folly. 1t cannot bridge entirely
the evils incident to the frsilties of human
nature, but within certain limits it can,
and we have faith to believe that it will ac
complish vast work of good. Thisi is pro-
gressive world. Humanity is vastly wiser
and better today than it was one hundred
years ago. We believe that it will be just
as much wiser and better hundred years
hence than it is today. No age has lacked it's
pessimists. There are always those so con-
stituted as to see only the dark side of
things. Such people are not without
their uses. They supply valuable
conservative element and they never per-
nit society to forget its weaknesses. They
stimulate reforms, though they rarely carry
them forward. There is hope for all who
read the lessons of the past Alright, and
trace the gradual development of human
progress, from the dark shadows of anti
guilty to the present time. They cannot fail
to see how constantly and how surely the
evolution of society has moved upward and
onward. AS it has been in the past, go,
there is every reason to believe, it will be
in the future. Ont of the present doubt,
and perplexities-the confusion,-we might
almost say the Understanding the great

relations of labor and capital, will

From all that can be learned, the

pretext was the refusal of the
Armenians to pay taxes, which
they were physically unable to do
on account of frequent and de-
structive incursions of the Kurds.

ten us very graphic description

Southeastern Idaho a short time
ago. We would like to publish
it in full but as names are men,
toned it might provoke embar-
assment and occasion facetious
comment. The most notable
feature Of the gathering was a
wild profligacy in the traffic of
public Offices. In lieu of one
man receiving a senatorship the
balance of the company were to
get whatever their hearts might
desire. Governorships, secre-
taryships and treasurerships were
thrown about wantonly and to be
had for the mere picking up and
there was also a generous sprink-
ling of foreign missions. 1t is
real gratifying to know so far in
advance that there is fair prob
ability of half the foreign consul
ates being filled by Idaho men
two years hence and even some
of the more important embassies
may be presided over by citizen
fresh from the Gem of the Noun
tains. On this happy prospect

tate the state, and predict that

AS an article published in this
paper relating to the necessity for
legislation on immigration and ir-
rigation has been extensively cop
led by state papers, we suspect
that more than ordinary interest
is taken in these subjects. In
connection with the immigration
question it might be pertinent at
this time to quote from Governor
McConnell's special message to
the second session of the legisla-
ture. The governor said: ''We
have coal, iron, copper, silver,
lead and many other minerals
within our borders. We have
vast forests of valuable timber;
splendid ranges for horses, cattle
and sheep; beautiful plains, al
most boundless in their extent,
which await only the fertilizing
effect of the diversion of
our mountain streams into prop
er canals and bitches; we
have the beautiful hills of the

SOMETHING WRONG.

If United States Treasurer,
Morgon, can be- relied on, there
appears to be some serious de-
fects in Democratic tariff legisla-
ton other than its tendency to in
jure American industries. Treas
urer Morgan says that the deple-
ton of the treasury, rendering
necessary the issuance of bonds,
results mainly from an INSULT =
cheney of tariff revenues.
Heretofore when the supply of pa
per money had become so reduced
that the treasury was obliged to
pay out large sums of gold in the
ordinary disbursements, the coin
was freely returned in the tariff
revenues. Hence, it is just to
infer that the Democratic tariff
for revenue law is not sufficiently
Pronounced in its revenue features.
The theory has been that low
tariffs tend to stimulate foreign
trade and that a reduction of du-
ties are amply compensated by
increased importations. The
Wilson law does not seem to pro-
duce the promised result and, in
consequence, government is
obliged to borrow money to pay
current expenses. When the
pinch first came, the reserve fund
was invaded and the receipts
from customs duties were not
sufficient to replenish it. Then
came the bond issue of February,
intended to recoup the reserve,
but subsequent and continuous
drafts have had to be made
until on August 7 the hundred
million fund was reduced to less
than fifty-three millions. Now,
another issue of bonds has been
necessary and under the present
revenue law, it is quite sure that
but short time will elapse be-
fore still another fifty millions will
have to be borrowed. A tariff |
law expressly formed for the pur-
pose of raising revenue does not
meet the conditions when it has
70 be regularly bolstered by the
ISSUANCE of interest bearing bonds.
The income tax may come to the
-elief of the Democratic fiscal
policy, but if it doesn't there is
always the chance of negotiating
another loan.
