not say whether 1T is through an

SIMPLY CONTUMACIOUS.

The Chicago Chronicle contains
the following:
President Proctor of the Civil Servhe
com mission is being pursued with ma
Lightly unusual even in disappointed
Office holders by Joseph Perrault for
mery surveyor general of Idaho.
President Roosevelt declined to reap
point PerraulJ on Proctor's showing that
Perrault had dismissed civil service en-
ployes arbitrarily, and that he had con-
sented to the collection of political as
sessments from other employees.
Perrault is after Proctor's official SCALP
and has the support of former Senator
Shoup of Idaho, who is understood to be
most friendly with the President Per-
rault declares that Proctor's methods
show that he has grown SO arbitrary,
reckless and unfair that the civil service
law no longer can be administered i'm
partially under his direction. He pro-
poses to bring charges against Proctor to
prove what he says If the President of
the commission does not resign Perrault
threatens he will come to Washington in
October and urge President Roosevelt to
demand his resignation.
Proctors friends are worried about the
affair, because they fear that there is
disposition on the part OF republican
politicians generally to support Perrault
and that the president may feel himself
bound to stand by the politicians
There is one important mlsstate-
ment in the above. The reasons
given for Perrault's discharge are
not the reasons given at the time the
execution took place. Perrault may
have assessed employees for cam
paign funds, but that is not what
they fired him for. sContumacious
Criticism" political les majeste) was
the crime for which he was euillo-
tined, and it was so announced in
the dispatches. The giving of the
true cause, however, was probably
an ill-timed and inconsiderate break
which must be offset with further
reasons. Party sagacity would sug-
gest the damaging consequences of
an open and acknowledged slaughter
of all administration critics in the
ranks.

PRESTO, CHANGE.

1t is stated that Mark Hanna il
out for Roosevelt for president.
That Is in perfect harmony with the
Hill and Cleveland activity in the
democratic party. In the middle
western states Roosevelt is much ad
mired by the rank and file of his
party, but at the east there is a very
bitter feeling against him and the
most contemptuous remarks can be
heard every day In the week. In
Washington such remarks as "the
molly terror up there, 1.-THE idiot at
the White House," can be heard
from the lips Of republicans of much
prominence. BY word of apology.

posite to civility and decent respect

GOOD ANALYSIS.
The Salt Lake Tribune sizes up
the Thunder Mountain situation in
the following admirable manner:

WIG Iuuuuer mOunCaln situation IN
the following admirable manner:
The froth having blown off the Thun-
der Mountain mug, the country is set
thing down TO steady and profitable de-
velopment, and being prospected with
skill and success. The whole matter will
undoubtedly resolve itself into the lines
indicated from the first by the Tribune.
First OF all 1T is a remote rugged coun-
Try, roads to which cannot be made the

porting large floating and useless pop

country will have to be by skilled noun
tain men, who can get around through
the country with the minimum of ex-
haustiDg labor, and preserve their
strength for the hard and alert work of
prospecting the country. This prospect
ing is vocation, calling; one must
not only have expert knowledge of what
looks like mineral country, of the for
nations and rocks likely to carry values,

sees 1t, but he must have the gift of
nndink; like the second sight almost
Inc hundred expert prospectors will
pass over or by the ledge. the man with
the gift will stop and find it. No one
is so; all experienced hillmen will affirm.
Then, as we have urged before, and
more than once, the region thus open to
prospecting is both long and wide; its
area Is great; this year will not suffic to
prospect 1T all, even specifically. We
expect TO hear for ten years to come of
rlch hnds being made in that central
ldaho region, for we are sure that the
riches are there. We have explained The
reason for this In the early DAYS, now
more than thirty-as to some places
forty-years age, the country was run
over by placer miners. They washed
out what gold they could find in the
creeks, and they found deposits in a sur
prlsing number of them That gold
came from lodges in the hills But they
were not looking for lodges; they took

nanza. Such case was reported YES
terday morning from the old camp OF
Mineral, twenty-three miles from
Weiser. These mines are great now
but In early days such ore was practically
worthless. We expect to see many such
discoveries, and whether they are on the
west or on the east, on the north or
the south OF the central region, they are
all properly to be credited to Thunder
Mountain, for that is the center of the
mineral country.

If any ''reform" organization is or
ever will be strong enough to gain
its alleged ends, it is certainly strong
enough to go into either of the
parties existing and rule it. The
Socialists Of Idaho at Weiser adopted
a plank favoring public control of
the means of distribution. We be-
lieve in that, and it is growing nearer
to political issue every day. in

eight years seriously considered in

means that an unrest and dissatis-
faction with humber life will grow
up among the people when they have
1aunted before them daily and hourly
the lavish lives and princely parade
of the special benefciaries of special
legislation. 1t makes some young
men so extravagant in their tastes
that they cannot find any surplus
from their earnings for the support
of wife, and there is tendency to
live the loose lives of spendthrift
pleasure which is so prominent and
gsudy an adjunct of American dol
lar aristocracy. The girls, too, get
notions in their heads through this
source, and the mania for fine clothes,
and the dreams of princes who will
come and carry them away do not
draw them to the honest young fell
low in an uncouth suit. The social
conditions described in Caesars COL
umn, in degree, would not be 80
widely at variance with the trend
OF present day conditions, where ex-
IRENE wealth is made 80 much of
that the glitter of it acts upon a
large class Of women and girls as the
lamp upon the moth. Then there is
the other condition, which is the op-
posite of the special advantages de-
rived from class legislation, which
means more grinding toll on the
part OF host to make it possible
for the disciples Of leisure and luxury
to reach the full measure of their
stations; and all over the country
are the girls and young men laboring
away with patient hearts at the
treadmills, but unable to reach the
point when their doubtful minds
deem it possible to support matri-
mony-this doubt being born of
false standard of their life's neces-
sites set up by the bubble of parade
and display which Is kept SO con-
stantly before them. There are
many causes for too many bachelors
and spinsters, and those who would
be law makers should give more at
tention to laws aimed for general So
clal and political elevation, rather
than to laws planned to give one set
OF people unnatural advantages over
another. When the people of the
country acquire sufficient national
stamina to use the ballot intelligently
ana are not to be wheedled into fur
thering pernicious policies, like blind
moies, then great many regret
table conditions may be remedied
