What VIII Stockslager Do?

ucHl III tne proceedings OF the dis
trlct court at Caldwell last week.
Jake Horn is the editor of the Cald-
well Record. a silver paper, and
Stewart is the goldbug Judge Of
that district. A few weeks ago, the
Record published a squib to the
effect that lawyer Borah of Boise
4 CITY might have an interest in the
supreme court and a mortgage on
the district, but had no pull on the
governor" This was generally re-
garded rs an intending pleasantly
on the part of the Record. But
Judge Stewards judicial dignity
was offended and he summoned ed
itor Horn before him for contempt,
and told him that if any such
charge as that implied were true
the public had a right to know it
II IT were not true no such state
ment should be made.
Mr. Horn explained that he had
not intended to reflect upon the
honesty or impartiality OF the court
and expressed regret at having pub
lished the paragraph. Evidently
Judge Stewart was not satisfied
with Mr.. Horns apology, and or
dered him to pay fine of $500
for contempt of court. After siren
uous efforts Jake dug up the re-
quired sum and returned to his
| office once more free man.
And this raminds us of little
incident that took place in Gilmore
county last fall, when Judge Stock
Slayer was candidate for re-elec-
ton. The goldbug paper Of Mount
ain Home, with the hope of defeat
ing Stockslager, used these most
malicious and libelous words:
"The people Of this judicial dis
trict are tired Of STOCKSLAGER'S
/ VOTE CATCHING DECISIONS"
And in the same issue the same
goldbug organ also said:
Leading Republicans from all
over this judicial district are pre-
vailing on w. G. HOWE to become
"a candidate for district Judge. AT
ToRNEYs II ALL PARTIES say
Judge Stockslager is a fine man
PERSONALLY but his PARTI-
SAN DECISIONS are getting a
little messy"
Now, if editor Horn deserved
punishment by fine of So for
printing a harmless little para
graph about Mr.. Borah's pull"
what punishment should be meeted
out to the Republican editor for
deliberately and maliciously lying
about our worthy district Judge?
