AS INGRATITUDE is the basest O
crimes, the democrats in the Idaho
Legislature will prove themselves
sorry lot if they shall allow the repub
licans to defeat Senator Dubois, who
did all he could to help their party in
the late political campaign, even, as
has been proved, at the risk of his own
reelection. There can be no doubt OF
the fact that Mr.. Dubois is a better
democrat than any of the so-called dem
ocratic Senators who deserted their
party last November.

ONE OF the newspapers of New York
city censures the South for allowing
her children the opportunity of learn
ing from true and unprejudiced histories
written by Southern men that their
fathers were not rebels nor traitors,
nor were supposed to be by the authors
of the text books in use at West PoiEt
prior to the war of invasion. Because
some of the Southern Senators desire
to amend the arbitration treaty, an.
other New York newspaper says the
Senate can declare its degeneracy
without difficulty by becoming openly
and avowedly the tail to that that
putrid "reminiscences, the corpse of the
unburied Coufederacy." But the South
ern gushers will still have it that in the
North, the 'cruel war is over"

THE bank failures still 60 on in the
North. Few of them have occurred in
the South. Indeed, as banks cannot
lend money except on collateral that
can be realized at once, and as little of
that sort is held in the South, the vast
majority of the Southern people, since
the war of invasion, have had to do
without banks, and by this time have
learned to get along pretty we'll with
out them, so that whether they stand
or fall, the effect upon their material
condition is comparatively slight. Hard
times were brought on by the North,
and it is the North that suffers from
them most.

About Christmas time, 1895. Robt-

the u. s. regular army and stationed
at Washington. ID. c., received his
discharge and returaed home At
that time w. T, his brother, was liv-

the farm in Missouri township. 1t Is
alleged that w. T. treated his mother,
who is an invalid from consumption,
very badly, and that the mother,
firing of his undutiful behavior. re-
quested him to find another home
This he did. A short time there
after Robert married and on the in,
vitation of his mother came with his
bride to live with and care for her
while w. T. still cultivated the farm,
but having his domicile on an
adjoining farm All this happened
In the spring of 1906. Robert never
had any contract for possession nor
does he claim possession nor any in

At the conclusion of the testimony
for plaintiff. the court, at the instance
OF defendant, gave the following in

errors committed by the court in the

We have no knowledge or information
on which to form n belief whether this
was by design OF the white veterans or
choice OF the colored brother. Surely
II could not have been from design on
the part Of the whites, since this Re-

such love for the colored brother by
giving him post-office appointments IN
those southern communities where the

dismissed the case against the defend
ant, being convinced that he had only
acted in self-defense, and that the
swearing out OF the warrant by Wilkin-
son against Keeting was prompted
purely by malice.
1t seems that Wilkinson owed Keet-
ing an account, and that when Keeung
asked him to pay it, Wilkinson ac-
cused Keeting Of having offered an In
dignity to Mrs. Wilkinson, whereupon
Keeting called Wilkinson a id liar.
Wilkinson then threatened 'to do

house as did also Keeung tnto his
house. Keeting soon re-sppeared
and took a stand On his back porch.

himself in case Wilkinson attempted to
carry his threat into execution.
AS Keeing, according to Wilkin,
sons own testimony, made no attempt
whatever to use The gun, there was
nothing left for MIR. Collet except to
dismiss the case.
We frequently hear the whipping
post advocated as a panacea for petty
oGenses against the peace and dignity
of the state, but In this particular case
the facts would indicate that the whip
ping is more deserved by the prose
cutting witress than by the defendant.
