and through the efforts OF these
character assassins, was, on the hrst
ballot, rejected. Later the senators
were awakened from their folly by
strong letter from Lewiston com
pletely exhonerating Mr.. Morris.
Then came a like attempt to be-
smirch f. W. Kettenbacb, when
his name was proposed for a trustee
ship on the normal board. But the
effort failed to defeat his appoint
nent, put it did not fail to show
the meanness OF certain men IN the
upper house.
Then there is the board Of regents.
They have been accused of crooked
ness and all sorts of things, all for
the sake of passing bill, that
would give few people appoint
ments Oh the board whereby they
might possibly get their graft into
the treasury Of the institution.
When the regents were attacked,
they demanded an investigation, at
the hands of the senate, Of their
stewardship. Was it granted?
Not much. It wasn't necessary for
the ends sought to be obtained.
The unsupported charges served
the purpose great deal better than
the results, had from an investiga-
ton, would have done.
The republicans had sense enough
to keep out of the mess, letting the
fusionists settle it among them
selves.

THEN AND VOW

The Caldwell Tribune quotes the
following:
Four years ago President Mckinley
said to visiting delegation: "Ibel1eve
the business of this free Government is
to preserve the American market TO
the American producer, whether in the
factory or on the farm, and to preserve
the American mines and American mill
to the American woTkingmen This is
all there Is to Protective Tariff"
Since the government has gone
out of the governing business and
the trusts have taken control, they
say, like the president: sHWe be-
ieve that q trust government ought
to buy in the cheapest market in
the world, and to preserve the
American people for our own ex-
ploiation. That's all there Is to
the protective tariff, but it is all we
trusts want.
Not satisfied with this, though it
would seem to be enough, they have
the gall to demand that the govern
ment shall pay them large amounts
of money for absolutely nothing.
Witness the ship subsidy steal and
kindred measures.
The ''first principles the Tribune
talks about, have long since been
forgotten, in the greed of these
giant corporations in gobb!ing up
the earth and the Inhabitants there
of.

The Evans polygamy bill, intro

stirred that state from end to end.
The bill provides that man may
live with his plural wives without,
any fear of prosecution for adultery.
An amendment was introduced,
making the law applicable only to,
those who married in polygamy be-
fore the manifesto, but it was lost.
The bill has passed the senate and

The next Legislature will, if it is'
republican, pass bill making the
board of regents of the State Uni
versity consist of six members.
The lesson the republicans have
been taught by the fusionists WON'T
be forgotten. Then that institution,
win have another change and some
more people will be dropped into
oblivion under acloud, and that too.

last Legislature had. The republi-

allow the catching Of lake trout by
any means possible. These trout
are a ferocieus lot. and tlrsy live,
principally on other young fish, and
spawn especially attracts their
greedy eyes. It will be remembered
that some years ago Utah put 81
600, 600 young lake Superior white
fish into this body Of water, and IT.

eaten by the lake TROUT. In the,
light Of this experience, it seems
almost waste of money to attempt
to stock the lake SO long as these
fish remain in it in any considerable
numbers.

soon broke the record from New York

the lowering Of the records meant
not only larger ships, but heavier
