JUST CRITICISM.

The Republicans of this State are
now divided in their Interpretation OF
their platform in regard to the
situation in north Idaho. Some
claim it's declarations are opposed
to martial law and tie permit sys
tenn up there, while Others take con-
trary view. A good many Republicans
are disposed to think that the platform
was intended to be read both ways,
and to mean anything anybody chose
to make out of it. 1t won't fool the
laboring people much, whichever way
the boss interpreter explains it.
The foregoing is from the Haley
Mews-Adiner, a good Populist paper,
and it is just criticism, true-ab-
solutely true-in every particular
except one or two. Wherein there
is error it is not the fault of the
Nez0s-A1inev, but the fault of Re-
publicans who have the habit of re-
hecting after speaking instead of
before. Two eminent Republicans,
by a loose use of the English Ian
guage, have put themselves in the
attitude of interpreting" the Re-
publican platform, as though it
were written in a dead or obsolete
tongue, or an enigma to be solved,
or an intricate problem unintelligi-
BILE TO the average understanding
until reduced to simple, familiar
terms. Judge Standrod says, II
do not interpret the platform as
condemnation of the permit system,
because the platform speaks for it
self and does not mention the per-
NIT system, besides, I know moth
Ing about the permit system. 1t
is quite clear that what Judge Stan
rod aimed to say, and what he
would have said had he considered
his words with a view to accuracy,
Is this: II know nothing about
the permit system, hence can not
say whether or not it is in conflict
with the principles affirmed in the
Republican platform. If the per
NIT system does not interfere with
the right OF any man to seek honest
employment, the Republican plat
form does not condemn it. If the
permit system does interfere with
that right, the Republican platform
does condemn it." Judge Heyburr
tails into the same error that Judge
otandrod does. Both talk about

personal views about applica

abused and insu1ted it as the
Democrats have abused and insu1ted
the Populists. TO say that the
Democratic convention spat upon
the Populists is describing their
contemptuous treatment with ex-
treme miidness. Upon the floor of
the Democratic convention, Popu-
lists were called dynamiters and an
archists, together with every other
term of contempt and opprobrium
that Democratic hatred and malice
could invent. So rank and in
decent was the libelous slander
hurled against Populism, that the
last act of the Popu1ist convention
was in the nature of a solemn and
indignant renonstrance. This was
a resolution positively prohibiting
the placing of Democrat on the
Populist ticket, which meant, it is
the sense of the Populists in con-
vention assembled that no alliance
can be formed with the Democracy
without qualification and degrada-
ton of the men and women of the
Populist party. How any Populist
having in his breast a spark of man
ly pride or in her bosom womanly
instinct can in the face of the odium
heaped upon them at Pocatello
cherish thought of union with
Democracy passeth human under
Standing A dog may lick the
hand that smites him, but who can
conceive of American citizens low
ering themselves to such a state of
cringing cowardice? In 1896, Pop
ulists magnanimously sacrificed
everything to Democracy in the
name of principle and were reward
ed with insult and contempt. In
1898 Democracy repudiated the
alliance of 1896, and kicked the
Populists out of the union; and new
in 1900 the Democrats, after official
ly and publicly branding the Pop
ulist party as an aggregation of
law brerkers and rioters, come
wheedling around softly purring,
"come dear Populists, let us form a
union; let us plight our faith, let
our hearts throb in unison and our
souls rejoice in harmony" And
to think there are Podulists walk
ing upon legs, who listen to that
kind Of deceptive slobber, because
it contains vague hope Of Office

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

A man known in this section as
Geo. DWyer was run over by the
branch train Monday night, and
his right arm and left leg were
crushed under the wheels. 1t
seems that he was badly intoxicated
and mistaking the branch for a
through train, he attempted to get
on the brake rods and in so doing,
fell and both wheels of passenger
coach passed over him. He was
taken to the county hospital and
his limbs dressed. He did not rally
sufficiently to warrant the amputa-
ton of his injured limbs, until early
Wednesday morning, when as he
appeared somewhat stronger, the
operation was performed, but the
shock was too much for him and
he died few minutes after the job
was completed. He was buried
Thursday morning. Dwyer has
bas been known here for some time
as he frequently travelled over the
Short Line. He claimed to be
brother of Jonn DwyeI Of Gooding,
but that gentleman denied the re-

CONSTITUTION AND FLAG.

Our Democratic friends are dubi-
ously distressed these August days
respecting the relations between the
Constitution and the flag. They
have adopted the old discarded
theory that wherever the flag is
planted right there and then is
planted the Constitution of the
United States, the Declaration of
Independence, the Fourth of July
habeas corpus, trial by jury, the
right of petition, popular suffrage,
Washington's Birthday, Decoration
Day and all and singular, the ap-
purtenances, hereditiments, rents,
issues and profits of the Republic.
And now they are crying up and
down the highways and byways,
Does not the Constitution follow
the fag?" Well, generally speak
ing, the Constitution has formed a
following habit. At least, it never
goes before the flag, nor has it ever
arrived upon the same date. The
flag always takes precedence and
the Constitution never follows TN
til Congress, in the exercise of its
authority under the Constitution
directs it to do so. The flag is the
symbol of liberty and justice, and
the sovereignty and majesty of
the nation. The Constitution is
the vehicle through which liberty
and justice are secured. The flag
stands for things; the Constitution
provides means for obtaining them.
The flag is promise, the Consti-
tuition, a fu1filment. When the
flag was planted in the Philippines
it was a pledge to the inhabitants
thereof that tyranny and oppression
would be driven from the land, and
it was promise that the Constitu-
ton of free people would be given
to the oppressed and downtrodden
subjects of Spain as soon as order
was restored and they were able to
understand its meaning and apply
its principles. The Democrats
complain that we have planted the
flag in Puerto Rico, but withhold
the Constitution. This is only true
in part, but the flag itself is suffici-
ent for the Puerto Ricans iii their
present conditions. It is the pledge
of a Nation that never broke vow
in the island of Puerto Rico, the
right to life, liberty and property
shall be sacredly maintained. The
Puerto Ricans are today enjoying
every civil right that citizens OF the
United States enjoy, and nearly
every privilege. And looking ur
to the stars and stripes they know
that they have a promise as
good as bond, that every privilege
will be granted them as soon as
they are capable of intelligently
and patriotically sustaining the re-
sponsibilities, which inseparably
attach to enlarged privileges. To-
day the Puerto Ricans are enjoy
ing an opportunity to demonstrate
their capacity for governing them
selves. When they have demon
strated that they possess that capac
ity, and have shown that they un,
derstand, love and honor the insti'
tutions which we have erected, tins
Republican party will be ready te
extend to them the Constitution II
| entirety, and will protect them a
far as it can in the exercise of every
privilege under it. And along
about that time the great sympathy
sobbing Democratic party will b.
; down there trying to enforce al
election law with the ''grandfathel
clause" in it or a North Caroline
suffrage section.

A CHEMIST SPEAKS
Gf Predigosted Food

After having tested and tried every form of predigested food on the market and eY- perimenting in my own family my atteh- ton was attracted to article headed $ 'Brawny Scots Diet mentioning eggs and Grape-Nuts. l carefully tested the new food and finally began its use in my famus, with most gratifying results.
 My little boy at that time was pale, anaemic child and very poorly nourished. Now, thanks to Grape-Nuts, he is fine a specimen of infantlle strength as l could wish for. My own personal. experience means much to me. For some years l was troubled with dyspepsia; that is, I could not eat bread of any preparation of bolted wheat flour, such cake or any of the starchy preparations, without fit of in- digestion, sour stomach, costiveness and headache.
 'As soon as I quit that sort of food and used GrapeNuts, which has the starchy part predigested, l began to recover. The change has been remarkable. I formerly weighed 122 pounds and now weigh 137 Am srong, have more nerve force than I ever possessed, appetite perfect, sleep sound and can enduresany amount of work. know exactly where the change has come from, and 1t is from your truly scientific and wonderful food, which is worthy of the highest commendation.
