THE two leading parties OF this
state have done one thing that IS
neither to their credit nor for the
good OF the state. In their state
conventions the high and honorable
Office Of supreme judge was drag
ged through the political mire in
the interest of candidates until the
trading became 50 disgraceful As to
cause much adverse comment.
The Office was put up to be traded
on. Fitness of candidates was not
considered. We do not have refer
ence to the nominee Of either party
for the responsible position, but
more particularly to the fact that
candidates for other Offices battered
on the judgeship, an Office that
should be kept clear Of the political
whirlpool; and Idaho's courts will
never attain prominence or be
placed on that high plane where
the judiciary belongs until it IS Dir
vorced from politics. Fitness alone
should determine the choice Of a
candidate for the bench and if this
reform cannot be accomplished in
any other way the nomination and
election of judges should be upon
different dates from general political
conventins ard elections.

SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.

January 1, 1897 after six years
Of statehood under republican rule,
the actual Indebtedness of the state,
less the available cash on hand,
was 1863, 544.64 September /,
1902, after almost six years Of dem
ocratic rule, the actual state debt
was S376,S4o.o2, a reduction OF
S29z, 7o4 .o2. These figures are
from the official records and can
not be successfully coutradicted.
When the republicans turned the
state administration over to the
democrats in January, 1897, there
was a floating, or warrant, indebt-
edness Of S252, 623, bearing interest.
On account of this heavy floating
debt and the financial mismanage-
ment of the republicans, state war
rants were below par July 1,
1902 the floating debt was wiped
out. Since then every state war
rant is paid when issued and the
credit of the state is anquestioned.
In deciding Upon his personal in
interests and those Of his commun-
ity, the voter IS going to take these
things into consideration. In the
language of our republican friends,
he is going to figure that il IS best
to let we'll enough alone A party
that can reduce the states indebted
ness almost $500, COO in six years
and at the same time make a grad
ual reduction in the tax levy for
state purposes IS undoubtedly the
party for the people Politicians
and Office seekers may attempt to
deny these facts, but they are taken
from the records and can be veri-
fed by any person who will take
the trouble to make an inyestiga-
ton. The administration IS such
under democratic rule, that the
people will have nothing TO gain by
a change, while they would lose
much under return to the meth
DDS employed BY the Mcconnell
administration.

to get through the world without
work, The drone will not work
and there IS no power on earth that
can force him TO do 50. He would
be leach on the socialistic COM
munity. These are some Of the
reasons why socialism is impracti-
cal and should not be given en-
enlargement. 1t also accounts for
the absence OF enthusiasm and
members at the mass convention
held here last Saturday The dem
ocratic party favors all thar Is prac-
teal in socialism and should receive
the support Of every voter who
favors public ownership OF public
utilities.

SOCIALISM, like many other isms,
has some good features, such as
public ownership Of railways, telc-
graphs, water and light plants and
other industries which are Of a semi
public nature. Beyond this it goes
into the impractical and advocates
doctrines that can never be put into
successful practice I'm equal dis
tribution Of MISREPRESENTATION,
its advocates are pleased to term it
is one Of its heresies. The doc
trine itself is in conflict because it
advocates equal rights and at the
same time favors the subjugation
OF the property rights Of the indi-
vidual. The lazy, worthless vaga-
bond is given his share Of the fruits
of the industrious. The indust-
rious laboring man IS made to
divide the results of his efforts with
the man who has made up his mind
