against Canyon County brought for the
purpose OF collecting the amount due
on the Caldwell and Parma bridges has
been argued before Judge Beatty. The
Judge has asked the attorneys TO fur.
nish typewriter briefs after which he
will render his decision. II has been
intimated that there was something
crooked in connection with the build
ing OF these bridges, and now that the
case has been heard in court, 1t affords
US pleasure to quote what Judge Beatty
has to say in this particular after hear
ing the evidence, as follows;
am convinced, from att the cod
deace sp the case, that these contracts
were entered into in good faith on the
part of the bridge company and the
commissioners of Canyon County, that
the contracts had been fulfilled and
complied with. and that the county
had received full value. Caldwell Re-

The italics are ours. Hereto
fore we were in error. We had
supposed that the spasms which
contorted our esteemed contem-
porary were caused by "strict con-
struction". Now, we discover
that it was conscience which be-
into defence of unconsti-
tutional procedure.
"Thus conscience does make towards
of us all,
And thus the native hugh of
resolution
Is sicklied DER with the pale cast of

are sorry. 'Deed-and-double,

WE KNOW HOW 1T WAS.

Germany has reason to inquire
what can be done. This count
ny is now consuming the product
of the soil and of the labor of its
own people instead of going to
Germany, but so well satisfied are
the Germans with the quality of
our exported goods that they
bought nearly $2o,ooo,ooo of our
goods in August and September
of 1897 under the Dingley law,
while their purchases from us in
August and September, 1906.
were only trifle more than $1s,-
100000. So that we are buying
much less of, and selling more to
Germany than we did Under the
Wilson law, and the double re-
ductlon IN Germany'S commerce
must be seriously felt.
We know how it was our
selves. We did not like ii and

UNHAPPY MAN.

Ever since Senator Dubois en-
barked on the sea of Organism
he has been notably unfortunate
in his political enterprises. His
dramatic exit from the St Louis
convention was evidently a mani
festation of that mellowness
which Immediately precedes
political dissolution and decay;
and which instead of enveloping
him in a sublime nimbus rele-
gated him to the peaceful seclu-
sion of private life. He has now
reached the last stage of political
hopelessness in a desperate en-
deavor to attract public attention
by assuming the role of an timer
ant lecturer, but whether in emu
lation of Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska
or Mr.. Ingalls, of Kansas does
not appear and, as both prece-
dents are equally unpromising, it
does not matter. The same fa-
tally which inspired Mr.. Dubois
to abandon the principles which
he had cherished for life time
and revolt against the party
which honored and elevated him,
appears to follow him still, to the
confusion of his understanding
and the destruction of his pros
poets. There are but two sides
to the question of Hawaiian an
nexation-the right and popular
side, and the wrong and IN
popular side. 1t is the last mis-
fortune of Mr.. Dubois to select
he latter, therefore, he exhibits
himself only to invite public dis

DANGER

TRIBUNE is still loath to credit the
rumor that Governor Steunen.
berg, in order to mitigate the evil
would approach the honorable
Justices of the Supreme Court
with intent to prostitute them
We readily concede that his ex-
cellency might, and with some ex-
cuse, 60 to great lengths to
change the trend of the Courts
decisions, but it is almost incred-
ible that he would venture upon
such an unlawful and dangerous
exercise of executive influence,
even to escape in full the odium
and disasters which he and his
political congeners, have brought
upon the State and themselves.
The effects of an unhappy situa-
ton will in time wear away, and
the people will have received in
struction from experience; but
when fundamental principles of
government are invaded, and the
Constitution stabbed under color
of legal forms, precedent is es-
tablished which invites treason
and anarchy. Therefore, any
attempt under whatsoever stress,
to induce courts of law to depart
from those certain, positive rules
upon which correct decisions are
founded, is a direct attack upon
the integrity and vitality of our
institutions. 1t is not for Justices
of the Supreme Court, in deter
mining questions of law, to intro
duce their own notions of equity
or expediency. The Constitution
is their guide and anchor, and to
ii every legal question must be
referred and every judgment con-
formed. And if decisions in har-
mony with, and based upon, the
law entail public incon-
or even general distress,
no excuse whatever is thereby
afforded for evading its clear
provisions and positive mandates.
The Supreme Court after a
searching inquiry and mature re-
lection, has held invalid a most
important and salutary Legislative

According t. the seml-ofii eial state
ment from the adj jitatt-generais
office at Wishing .on, Oklahoma won't
cut much OF a figure in the call for
troops, her quota being set down at
i43 men.
This estimate is based on the popu-
laiion of the several states as repre-
sented in congress, and not on the act
ual population, as contended fof by
some OF our officials.
Taking the population as estimated
ia 1894 as the basis, great injustice is
done in Oklahoma for the call for
troops. Florida with population Of

Of these views there is plain duty TO

be done those IN authority. They cau
be depended on to do their duty.
While doing II they must feel that a
united nation is behind them, that
they have the moral support and en-
thusiRstic backing OF all their country
men. Only with such unanimity can
the war be brought to a speedy and
glorious conclusion. Discord we will
not have, discord we cannot have. IL
is the solemn duty of the press Of the
land to see that we do not have IL, for
IL IL should come even in the slightest
degree it will be largely through snap
judgment or bad judgment expressed
through the columns Of newspapers.
But the obligation rests not alone
upon the press. II is shared by every
individual citizen. There is not an
American that has ever doubted the
outcome Of the war. with the meager
news that reaches us we must suspend
judgment, bride criticism and keep
that faith in those high In position
that is no small factor in the making
and maintaining any nation great.
Without posseI sion Of all the facts no
man is competen to judge OF separate
events. This may seem strange, that
may appear peculiar, but the verdict
OF time is pretty certain TO show that
each and every step, great or small,
was part OF a plan wisely conceived
and discreetly carried out.
