therefore, it would be unwise TO
risk a change. It Is also remark
able that the very best Of feeling
exists between the President and
Congress. Probably never be-
fore was there such complete nll-
tuality Of confidence and respect.
Why is this? The answer is
simple enough. The conditions
into which the country had fallen
during the unhappy ascendency
of the Democratic party brought
to the front a large number Of
patriotic and unselfish men-men
who were ready to subordinate
their personal aspirations-men
who were willing to yield some-
thing of their private views men
who were anxious for and devoted
to their country's good. Ii is
edifying to compare the present
condition at Washington 10 that
which existed there in the winter
of $50. Do youremember that
wild and woody era when Clcve-
land had a Democratic Congress
on his hands and thought it was

before us in white and black an
offer Of $3.50 cash for a water
right that will scantily irrigate six
acl es. We may be asked, then,
why corporation enterprises fail?
here are many reasons, some Of
which we have repeatedly ex-
planned, but principal among
which is the overshadowing fact
that as long as a speculative cor
poration owns the water the far
mer will remain practically a ten
ant. 1t is unnecessary to enter
into detail argument. The solid
fact is that separate ownership in
land and water does not succeed,
and as a rule where land and wa
ter is under the same ownership
ana management success results.
OF course, if the judgment Of the
Caldwell people shall be pro-
nounced against the pioneer dis
trict that will probably kill the
present enterprise, and it is to be
hoped that no harm will have
been done. But it seems to us
that if Caldwell fails to seize this
opportunity to make herself the
mainstay of irrigation enterprises
in the Boise Valley, and thereby
the agricultural and trade center,
she will have made a mistake she
will live to rue.

PARTY HARMONY.

At no time in the history of
our Country was a great political
party more in harmony with It
self, while in complete control of
the government, than is the Re-
publican party today. A casual
review Of its history since the
election of President Mckinley
should stimulate Republicans ev-
erywhere to renewed and unfag-
ging devotion. Immediately af-
ter the inauguration of Mr., Nc
klnley the party proceeded to
fulfill its election promises. The
Dingley Tariff bill, which in our
opinion is the cause of the pres
ent prosperous conditions more
than anything else, was promptly
enacted, and Congress adjourned.
Upon its reassembling December
18th of the present year, the COM
plexion of the Senate on the mon
ey question having changed, the
Republicans of the House at orce
took up the financial bill and in
due time passed it without a dis
senting voice and with the en-
dorsement of eleven Democrats.
The matter is now in the hands
Of the Senate, and will no doubt
be favorably disposed of in a reas-
enable time. 1t is not intended
here to discuss the merits of the
Republican policy. What we
aim to point out is that the party
has a policy. 1t knows what il
wants and how to get it. 1t has
plans, and the ability to execute
them, and it is well to understand
that even poor plan we'll and
promptly carried 10 completion is
better combination than an ex-
cellent plan butchered and lef
half dead on the hands of its exc
cutors. There is another phase
of the Republican situation tina
is highly gratifying and encourag
ing. 1t seems that the party is
substantially unanimous for th'
rc-nomination of Mckinley
There is nowhere any talk of
rival. The fact is that McK;nle,
is considered good enough and

WOOL GROWERS MEET.

The Seventh Annual Conven~
ton of the Idaho Wool Growers
Association convened at Boise
last Monday. There were up
wards of 80 members present.
Among the new members we
take pleasure in noting the name
of M. B. Gwinn of Caldwell. Mr.,
Gwinn, we believe, has but re-
Gently embarked in the sheep busi-
ness, but he will soon arrive at a
complete understanding of its
mysteries and benefits and make
an active and helpful member of
the association. We fail to find
Governor Steunenberg's name in
the list of membership, but we
suspect that he is well represents
ed in the person of R. P. Chat
tin. The governor and Judge
Stockslager are a little bit ner~
vous about the sheep business
just now. They probably hesi.
tate to join the Sheep Growers
Association openly, because pres-
emily that institution may be as4
sessing its members to pay the
expense of a little lobby at WASH
ington, and it would be awkward
for good free trade Democrats to
be found urging a Protective
Tariff. However, the governor
and the judge might just as we'll
get right in and be honest and
open about it. When they find
that the sheep business is profit
able and that the flow Of dollars
into their pockets is large and
regular, they will put up money
to protect that business, and ev-
erybody knows it. Moreover,
everybody knows why Judge
Stockslager was present at the
meeting but would not join, and
everybody knows why Frank
Steunenberg's name was not add
ed to the list of membership.
There is politics behind it; that is
the trouble. These gentlemen
are working bothSS ends of the
game. They want office from
the Democrats and business from
the Republicans.

OUR POSITION.

Paris Posi- takes THE TRIBUNE to
task for its comment on the PosfS
attitude towards Representative
Wilson. II will be remembered
that the Post, laboring under the
belief that Mr.. Wilson had voted
with the majority on the Tayler
resolution, called on the t'Mormon
people" to make a note of the
fact. Now, the situation was
precisely this: Mr.. Roberts as
Representative-elect from Utah
presented himself before the bar
of the House to be sworn III.
Mr.. Tayler, member Of the
House objected on the grounds
that Mr.. Roberts was, ineligible,
and asked that a committee be
appointed to investigate the
charges against him. The ,ques-
ton then arose whether the in
vestigation should be had before
Mr.. Roberts was sworn in or
after he had been sworn. The
house took a vote on the question
tion, and decided by vote of 10
to I that Mr.. Roberts should
stand aside until after the investi-
cation. This is the whole case,
stated as clearly and simply as
as possible. The House pro-
ceeded in the matter according to
the rule laid down by Mr.. Nc
Crary who is regarded as a high
authority on such subjects; it
proceeded in the same manner as
it had formerly proceeded on
similar occasions, and no man in
his right mind will pretend to say
it did not proceed according to its
authority under the Constitution
of the United States, which
makes Congress the sole judge
of the qualifications of its own
members. The contention of
the Post is that Mfr. Roberts
ought to have been sworn in
that is, admitted to the House
and investigated afterwards, You
see, it is simply a matter of ex-
clusion or expulsion. A mo-
ment's clear thinking will, we
think, show the lameness of the
Posts argument. Suppose sus-
picious character should approach
your front door; suppose re-
sponsible man should step up and
tell you that the man at the door
was not a proper person to admit
,into your house, and that you
= ought to make an investigation
before admitting him. Suppose,
then, the man at the door would
demand to be admitted first.
What then would you as a eau
tious and sensible man do? You
would say to the man at the door,
~'My friend, if I have the right TO
$hrow you out after you have
once entered, l certainly have the
right to prevent you from enter
ing; and as charges have been
made going to show that you are
not fit 10 remain, I will invesli- =
gate before you enter. If the
charges are not sustained, will
be happy to receive you" Would
not that be a reasonable and fair
way to act? Well, now, suppose
some yap, about four blocks off
should begin to roar about the
awful crime committed, lifting up
his voice denouncing you, because
you had refused admission to a
suspicious character, as an enc
my of society and all that kind o.
rot. What would you think ol
that kind of a yap2 You would

this paper has at hand the files of
every article he has cverwritten
On the Mormon question, and we
are prepared 10 submit those arti-
cles TO a Mormon jury and if that
jury finds US gully as charged by
the Paris editor, we will cheerfully
submit to any punishment the
jury may impose. Why, as re
Gently as Dec. 9, 1899, in com
nenting on the Mcconnell inter
view, we said:~ "Mr. Mcconnell
pays a glowing and weil-merited
tribute to the sincerity and self
sacrificing nature Of the Mormon
people, and thinks that it was
foreordained that he should rise
up to vindicate them. Respect
ing the sincerity Of The Mormons
and the virtue of their teachings
there cannot be any question, but
as to the foreordination Of the
governor there may be soni1 3if-
ference Of opinion" In that same
article we said: ''With some op-
portunity for observation, we
have not known of single po-
lyganous marriage since the
"manlfesto" was issued, and we
have heard of only one suspicious
case" Then we west on to say
that in view of all the. facts this
was very remarkable, meaning
that the Mormons had shown an
extraordinary amount of good
faith. The Post lays much stress
on the fact that it is charged that
Mr.. Roberts was the church can
dldate. We have nothing to do
with that, and have never hereto
fore said word on the subject.
AS matter of fact, we do not
believe it is true; and that is why
we are at a loss to understand
why the church is making such a
fuss over Roberts. The Pest
says that bad ministers and vi
clous newspaper have for months
been engaged in crusade of vii
LITIGATION against the Mormon
church. All right; why does not
the Bear Lake editor confne him
self to a legitimate warfare
againss them, instead of swapping
like chased coyote at those who
are trying to keep this agitation
within proper bounds? THE
TRIBUNE will cheerfully help the
Post to defend the Mormon peo-
pie against charges OF disloyalty,
general immortality or anything
else which represents them as
'monsters," but we are not going
to vil!ify the Congress of the
United States becauseit has chos-
en- to investigate B. Fl. Roberts
before instead of after swearing
him in. We say to the Post
and we say to the Mormons, and
we say it with a high appreciation
of the excellence of the Mormon
people, that we believe the Con-
gress of the United States to, be
the most honorable and enlight-
ened legislature inthis world; we
believe. that it is representative
of the most just, humanand intel
ligent constituency that 5 ever
graced the fodstool OF. All Mighty
God; we believe it is competent
to wisely and justly dispose of the
Roberts case and will SO dispose
of it. Moreover, we believe that B.
II. Roberts is today a self CON

PIONEER DISTRICT.

have done all in their power to-
wards the organization Of the pro-
posed irrigation district, which by
them has been named, appropri-
ately, the Pioneer. In due time
the people will be called on to
either ratify or reject what has
already been done. 1t has been in
tinated very broadly that the peo-
pie of Caldwell and vicinity will
not favor what has been done, but
will reject the whole business.
We trust this will not be the case.
We believe that by voting against
the organization Of the Pion eer
district, the people of Caldwell
will do themselves an injury from
which they may never fully re-
cover. Sooner or later practi-
cally>this whole section of country
is. going to be owned and doni-
mated by the men who irrigate-
by the men who today are so vi
tally concerned in solving this ir-
CATION problem-and, in our hum
bic opinion, the town which re-
fuses to aid them is going to be
the town they will refuse to sup
port. We may be wrong about
this, and if the Caldwell vote
shall kill the Pioneer district, we
hope we are wrong. But the
probabilities of being right are so
great, that a warning is justified.
1t is possible, of course, that the
district will prove a failure. We
are told that the organization of
districts in California, under GER
tain conditions, has entailed end
less woe. Nothing can be more
uncomfortable than endless woe.
According to the Scriptures it is
hell, However, we want to sug-
gest something for the considera-
ton of the unjaundiced people of
Caldwell-by which we mean the
great majority: The proposed ir-
rigation district is in no material
respect different from the system
of water management which has
been employed in Utah and Idaho
for the last quarter century to our
knowledge. 1t is no different in
any material respect to the system
now employed in Weiser, Payette
and Middleton on the so-called
settlers bitches. His practically
the system which in the last ten
years has put 10000 people into
Fremont county and half as many
into Bingham county. It is the
system which has built up Onei-
da county to almost the extent of
its possibilities, and why it should
fail here is not clear. People talk
as though the present irrigation
law were a revelation handed
down to some inspired prophet in
the silent hours of night: they
talk as though the organization
of an irrigation district was equiva-
lent toembarking on some un-
known and treachcrous seawithout
rudder or compass; they talk about
the horrors of putting mortgage
on their lands, and speak of one
or two dollars additional cost per
acre as though it were ruinous.

sion that we did with respect 10
that suPpositional yap. The
l1ost is deeply offended because
Representative Wilson did not
jump up and defend the Mormon
people. We suspect that Mr..
Wilson had sense enough to see
that no attack upon the Mormon
people was being even contem-
plated, and he also had sense
enough got to play any quixotic
pranks. We congratulate him.
Has the Post heard of Mr.. Will
son saying anything derogatory
OF. the Mormon people? Was
there anything said in the debate
on the Tayler resolution. deroga-
tory Of the Mormon people? !? The
Pest is very bitter against what
it considers crusade against the
Mormon people. That is all
right; but why not confine its
wrath to the crusaders? It says
that Mr.. Roberts is in no sense a
candidate of the Mormon church.
Admit that. It says that the Par
is Pest does not care a fig for Mr..
Roberts. Admit that. But it
condemns as an enemy of the
Mormon people everybody who
questions the right of Mr.. Rob-
crtS to a seat III Congress. That
may be logic, it may be common
sense. It says that people have
been deceived into believing that
the Mormons have broken faith
with the National government by
reading anti-Mormon articles in
just such papers as the CALDWELL
TRIBUNE and the two other pa
pers under the control Of its edi-
tor. If that is true what mighty
force such papers as the CALD-
WELL TRIBUNE must be in this
great land of the free and home
of the brave. But it is not true.
The Post is simply lying and it
knows it, We do not believe
THE TRIBUNE ever expressed an
opinion on the subject Of broken
faith with the National govern
ment. We have heard that there
was some sort of an implied con-
tract between the Mormons Of
Utah and the Government; but it
meyer concerned us one way or
the other. That business be-
longed to another juris-
diction. We have said that we
believed Mr.. Roberts to be a po-
lygamist, and we repeat it. Our
belief is based on general state
ments made to US by members
of the Mormon church living in
Salt Lake City. Mr.. Roberts
does not. deny it. We do not
know of anybody who does. The
Post says there are thousands of
estlrnaDie peoPle VINO really be-
lieve the Mormons to be mon

to be people who bclived that the
Morn1ons ate grass like bull
whackers; but that myth was
long ago exploded at both ends
