10 excuse the acts Of the ex-commis-

their legal salary but as usual admits
the weakness of It's arguments by maxi
ing IA personal attack upon The editor

officials upon whom the county attor-
lcy has made no demands to dis
gorge" although four years have
elapsed since these republican ex-of-
iicials went out Of Office. His persons
nj attack upon the editor OF the Re-
publican Is based upon the fact that
we have seen TT to extend our bust
ness In order to cover the newspaper
field at both Rathdrum and Sand
point. According to Scott's narrow
views. that Is almost an objectionable
SIN. He Is most welcome ut any time
10 attack our record for integrity, So
briefly, or anything else. We shall
then see II any dirt has been accumu-
Iating around his front door. The
Press puerile efforts To excuse the cx.
commissioners are scarcely worthy Of
note. except that they show how
"hrds Of a feather will flock togeth-
en- Common honesty and ordinary
common sense, unaided by advice
from u county attorney, and without
the guidance OF supreme court decis-
ions, both or which were at the ex.
commissioners command at the time
IF their wrongdoing, would have die
,ated the necessity of itemizing their
bills against the county. Suppose you
employed man to do certain work,
The character OF which you knew lit
lie or nothing about, and 1t was
agreed that you should pay him GER
tain amount per day and pay for cci-
tain OF his expenses while he is on
duty, would you not ask for an item
lied statement showing the number Of
days he worked and the different
items OF expense incurred by him
while on duty, before you paid him?
II you are q business man of only orr
binary intelligence you would certain
" call for such a statement. This IL
Illustrates the case OF the ex-commis-
sioners. Their bills against the coun-
~, which were allowed by themselves,
were not itemized. And when the
county attorney calls upon them for
an honest accounting, the Press comes
forward with silly excuses for such
reprehensible action. Scott is evil
IDENTITY no better than the ex-commis-
>ioners, and II given the opportunity,
would take like advantage OF the tax

The casual visitor to Standpoint can
not help observing evidences of activ-
ity and prOgress on every side. No
less than a half dozen good-sized and
substantial residences are now in the
various stages 0f construction, and on
every hand one can hear OF other
buildings In contemplation. The fact
Is that Standpoint Is enjoying build
ing boom Of considerable importance,
but there has been SO little buster and
display about it that the people have
come to look upon It as matter Of
course. This activity in the building
line has been going on for many

double dealings have placed the demo-

where IL does not belong,
because these men were strong
enough at the Pocatello convention to
name persons under their control,
they have since carried matters to
such high stage that decent, order
loving democrats all over the state
are thoroughly disguised.
And what Is worse these few would

with the democratic party simply to
further then own selfish ends. When
they have accomplished their purposes
The democratic party can go To the

ance of this have the people OF Idaho !?
Suppose, however, that the latter
should prove to be true, what assnr-
ance have the people OF this state that
executive clcmency will not be cx-
tended In less meritoriouS and even in
extremely dangerous cases? That Is
the bad feature Of this case. Execu-
tive clcmcncy should not be exercised
except in cases where additional evil
dence establishes the innocence Of a
culprit, or In case 1t may be estab-
lished beyond a doubt that the Grim
inaI has been completely reformed;
and even In such case 1t should not be
exercised until the prisoner has served
a term commensurate to the crime Of
which he was convicted. A most dan
gerous precedent has been established.
