AN EFFICIENT OFFICIAL.

1t has been asserted by some, who
do not wish Attorney Lovejoy we'll
in his campaign for reelection, that
more or less instances of gambling
have been known of at different places
in this county, and it is assumed to
criticise County Attorney Loveioy
for not ferreting out these cases and
prosecuting them. The county at
torney is not county detective, en-
ployed to spend his time in working
up cases of misdemeanor. His
office is not created for that purpose.
His function is that of a prosecutor
in all cases. where information is
lodged that the. statutes have been
broken. 1t is not his business to as
sumo tho role of sleuth whenever a
whisper is abroad. If he were. it
would be possible to waste much of
the county funds prodding around
where cases would fail through lack
OF evidence. Let any citizen lodge

nlsh evidence and he will find the at.
torney ready to prosecute with all
the vigor possible Mr.. Lovejoy has
never been found lacking and bis
incumbency in office has been marked
for earnestness and attention to his
duties in that respect. He has been a
terror to aw-breakers in every in
stance, where the matter has come to

he has filed the office with credit ia
himself and satisfaction to the peo-
pie. If any cases of gambling have
occurred and have not been prose
cuted, it is because those who we're
cognizant of it have failed to COM
plain and furnish the testimony
necessary to convict.

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY LAW

The following from the Pocatello
Advance is upon measure incorpor-
ated in the democratic state plat
form and which they stand pledged to
have enacted;
Under the changing conditions i'm
mediately following the fall of feud-
alism in England, but growing out of
the relation of lord and bondsmen
there grew up what is known as the
fellow servant law. This law is a
heritage of the American states as
part of the English common law
1t has never been enacted in single
state in the Union, but the courts
have universally recognized it as a
portion of the English common law.

lessness of a fellow workman. no
damages can be obtained from the
employer. In olden times, there
may have been some reason in such
a law But in these times of com

altered. 1t must be self-evident to
all that so rigid a measure would
work hardships ia many instances.

WHAT PERKINS is DOING.

The fact is given out practically
from state republican headquarters.
that part of the duty of W. Y.
Perkins, who is organizing the social
ist party in Idaho, under pay of
Chairman Goodlng of the state re.
publican committee, is to report the
past party affiliations Of the voters
joining the solicalistic movement.
This report Perkins makes direct to
Gooding. The scheme then is to
prevail upon the republican socialists
to vote the old party ticket aud to
leave the former democrats to hold
the bag to catch snlpe. 1t is a dis
honorable scheme, worthy of Good
ing and Perkins, aud shows that these
political trlcksters are playing homes,
men for rank suckers. No one who
knows Perkins doubts for moment
'ia' he VIII vote the straight republi-
can ticket just as he did two years
ago when he masqueraded rs a mid
dle-of- the-road popuist. Two years
ago he was under pay of the republi-
cans and he is under pay from them
to-day. No honorable socislistcan re-
cognlze such contemplate character.
Forutreachery and pure cussedness

ocratic party in Idaho to follow the
lead of Missouri, Texas and Colorado
in the adjustment of this common
law, and the enactment of a measure
known as the Employers Liability
law, by which each case of injury
sustained by workingman can be
tried upon its merits. That the
workingman shall not be thrown out
of court by the plea that his injuries
were caused by the negligence of a
fellow servant, regardless of whether
the said fellow servant was compe-
tent or not. This is a measure
watch should appeal to every laborer
and by voting the democratic ticket,
he votes to enlarge his own rights as
the state platform of the party de-
clares for this measure thus uneouiv-
ocally:
"We favor the employers liability
law insuring protection and justice to
Idaho working men and pledge the
support of democratic members of
the next legislature to the passage of
such law"

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM,

The next legislature is to be asked
to take action which will relieve the
situation on the puzzing question Of
railroad taxation. There is a large
class who believe that favortism is
shown the railways and that they are
not taxed proportionately with other
property and on the other hand there
is to be avoided the arbitrary taxa
ton that would be held up as al
obstacle to much needed railway
construction in this state. Severa
county commissioners appeared be-
fore the state board at recent NEE t.
ing and urged that the roads, which
have been already raised twenty pei
cent under democratic administration
in Idaho, be raised further. The
board having considered and care
fully investigated, the question of
railroad taxation, both IN 1901 and
at the present session OF the board
IN 1902, and being DESTROYS that some
just and equitable basis should be
absolutely fixed by law to determine
