1t may be true, as claimed by some of
the opponents of the admission of New
Mexico and Arizona as States, that the
population is too small and that the
greater number of the inhabitants are un-
fit for the duties of citizenship. These
objections cannot, however, be urged with
consistency by the leaders of party re-
sponsible for the admission of Idaho, Wy
omipg and Nevada into the Union without
a suitable quota of population, and who
have also been guilty of thrust ng the suf-
frage into the hands of millions Of men
whose ignorance and incapability are per-

The people Of Idaho county have
had a lot of experience with Wal
lace N. Scales, and they know that
he will bring to the Office of district
judge the ripe experience OF cult
ured manhood with the sterling in
tegrity which has been universally
recognized since his residence in
Idaho county. That he will be
elected judge Of this judicial dis
trict goes without saying, and his
election will be cause for congratu-
lation and something to rejoice for
all over the district. He is pecul-
iarly we'll fitted for the position,
being absolutely impartial to friend
and foe, litigants and attorneys,
and when he gets on the bench he
will know absolutely nothing but
the law, and no influence can
swerve him from it's strict applica-
ton as he interprets it. His ability
as probate judge and county at
torney has been amply proved, and
on election day the voters will say
"Well done, thou good and faith
full servant. Go up higher"

Have you in this campaign heard

Have you in this campaign heard
a republican orator or read re-
publican newspaper defending the
course Of the republican party in
the last six years? The only thing
in the shape of an argument which
the republican spellbinders use in
this campaign is reference to the
hard times of 1894, when Cleve-
land was president, and which
they falsely attribute to democratic
policies. The seeds of those hard
times were sown in SO years OF re-
publican class legislation, which
has monopolized the wealth of the
country in the hands of a few, and
the process is still going on. The
republican party is the friend OF
the Goldfish aristocracy of wealth,
and its legislation is always in the
interest of the rich and powerful
trusts and money magnates.

Statement From j. P. Turner
Relative to Roads.
To the Editor-In order to cor
rect some prevailing false impress
sions that seem to obtain concern
ing the attitude of Grangeville to-
ward the construction of different
roads into the mining camps oil
this county, and to refute certain
positive allegations made in rela-
ton thereto prejudicial to the cit
liens of Grangeville, | shall ask
the privilege of your columns that
l may lay before the public a few
facts. For these, as one taking an
active part in the building of these
roads, ] hold myself personally an
swerable, and may add they are
subject to verincation by number
less reputable citizens of this whole
community.
In order to properly present the
matter | must go back little. In
1898, when / came to this country,
our only mode of transportation to
Elk City and to Dixie and other
camps was by pack train. Owing
to the agitation brought about by
the mining men and by the citizens
of Elk City, Dixie and Grangeville,
coupled with the substantial assist
ance of the business men of the
latter place, the state legislature
and the county We're induced to
construct several roads, among
them the road from Riebold's to
Newsome, in 1894. Pressure was
then brought to bear upon our
county commissioners to futher ex-
tend this road to Elk City, but at
that time, owing to the general
depression prevailing, the affairs
OF the county were found to he in
