county has taken first rank among
the agricultural counties of the
state. There is magnificent
outlook for crops ali over the

The fusion elements that carried
the state Of Washington with such
a great victory last fall are show
ing signs of disintegration. The
chairman OF the democratic state
organization has called for a reor-
ganization Of the state democracy
upon the middle ot-the.road plan
declaring specifically against fusion
and pledging the Chicago platform
as it's articles of faith. The popu-
lists must either join the ranks OF
the new democracy or begin a new
agitation upon lines of its party
faith not specified in the Chicago
platform. In viewing this dilemma
the populist party is itself divided
into factions over their future
course. The end is the downfall
OF the populist party, part Of
whom may continue the agitation,
but the main body will join the
ranks of the reorganized dem
ocracy.

The cause Of organized labor has
been injured by the rabid express
sions OF Ed Boyce, the president OF
the Western Federation of Miners.
This man has been immoderate in
his attacks upon the courts and
the machinery of government, and
even upon the principles Of organ
lied labor. Whenever the great
labor unions abandon the principle
of moral force for more ultra meas
ures they take step backward.
There has doubtless been steady
growth toward the union of senti-
ment favorable to peaceful adjust
ment Of labor difficulties in the
past, and this encouraging advance
in social economy was largely due
to the moral force of union; bu,
the attacks upon courts and the
power of the state is long stride
backward.

The questions of political reform
must be settled by intelligent cit:-
zeuship. We cannot expect re-
forms to rise higher than the re-
formers conception Of the organiza.
ton and nature Of the state with
its intricate questions of social
policy and industrial disturbances.
We must not mistake blatant DEM
agogism for intelligent citizenship.
The state of Idaho is suffering now
from a mistake of choosing blum
dering and inefficient lawmakers
who posed as reformers but lacked
the knowledged Of public affairs to

The recent decision of the SUI
preme court regarding the employ
ment of counsel to assist a district
attorney. denies the right of the
board of commissioners to employ
such assistance. This decision
will have Statutory effect on filling
these positions in the future. A
better class of attorneys will re-
