LET Us COMPARE NOTES.
The Boise Capital, one Of Gov
ernor Steunenbergs most enthu-
siastic personal organs, says:

That anarchistic sheet, the Mos
COW Mirror, has broken out at the
mouth again. What do decent pee
pie think of such utterances as
| these: Every Miners Union
scoundrel that can be captured
should be hung" And this: "a
gang that will deprive men of life
and property should be hung with
out ceremony" 1t may be in ac-
co:dance with the tenets Of the Re.
publican party in Idaho as voiced
by such papers as the Mirror to
hang men "WithOut ceremony" but
Il will none the less be condemned
BY people who have proper regard
for law and order. The CdpitGL
would not have the State become
an outlaw In the punishment of
outlaws. Let no guilty man escape
but proceed according to law.
Anything short Of this is anarchis-
tic as the blowing up of the BUNK
er Hill mill.
Well, let US compare notes for
a moment. The Moscow MIrro,
says: every Miners Union
scoundrel that can be captured
should be hung" Governor
Steunenberg in his authorized Of
fetal proclamation says: "The
Miners Union has shown itself to
be criminal in purpose, melting,
and as an organization, pr occurring
property to be destroyed and
murders to be committed" Then
Attorney General Hays says:
ut is a criminal organization, I"
and adds, "a very large percent
age of the members are not fit
to stand on American soil"
Again says this dignified con-
servator and representative of le-
gal forms: anarchy dominates
the organization, and we do not
propose that the dastardIy outfit
shall have any advantage" Who
is the more anarchistical, the
Moscow MirYOr or the Demo
cratic State Administrations The
14frroy speaks only for itself and
voices the sentiments of its editor.
The Democratic State admins
tration presumes TO speak for the
Democracy and voice the senti-
nents of a majority of the voters
IF Idaho, The Capital should
:hink seriously on that point. The
Moscow lk'rrOy says: "A gang |
hat will deprive men of life and
property should be hung without
:ercmony." This affords the
-GP'faI an excuse for playing
chool teacher for the benefit of
he Republican party, but let us
ee what the Hon, Attorney Cen
raj of Idaho says. Here it is:
Some of the men have been
ientihed as using their firearms,
nd they will be charged with
and the State will not be
allied upon to absolutely trace
he course of the bullet from the
un. Absurd technicalities will
OF be allowed to stand in the '
attn of justice" If that does not
Iean hanging without ceremony, i
hat does it mean? Is not the t
tate administration as anarchist ]
al as the Moscow Mirror, and /
view of all the circumstances I
e not the utterances of the adj 5
inistration a hundred times more Il
prehensible and defamatory u
an those of the Moscow mr. ii
n Again, the State admins o
alton has created an inquisitorial e
bunal unwarranted by law or ii
stice. It has forbidden the en- b
oyment of men in certain mines h,
