The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1902-08-12


James r. Sovereign, editor of
the Idaho State Tribune at Wal
lace, who is being pressed for
ward by the Democrats of the
North end of the State and es-
pecially of Shoshne county, as
Democratic nominee for Con-
gress, is about 4S years old and
native of Wisconsin. He spent
his early boyhood days on the
Southwestern cattle trail as
cowboy, was for short time in
the railroad service and after
wards spent 10 years as a marble
carver. Mr. Sovereign was in
the convention which nominated
Grover Cleveland in 1892 and
during the last two national cam
paigns took a very active part
and was recognized by the lead
ers of the Democratic party as
one of the most forceful expon-
ents of Democracy in the field.
In 1900 he made many speeches
with w. J. Bryan and other ma
tional leaders and has the reputa-
ton of being one of the strong
est defenders of reform Democ-
racy now on the national ros-
trum. He is thorough parli-
mentarian and is we'll informed
on all questions of national legis-
lation. For many years he has
been identified with the organic
ed labor forces of the country
and for four years was General
Master Workman of the Knights
of Labor, and as a labor leader
bears the reputation of faithful
service but conservative and op-
posed to violence. During the
years that he was General Mas
ter Workman of the Knights of
Labor that order enjoyed a
season of peace being engaged
in no labor strikes of it's own
creation-a result of his advice
and concilatory methods not
withstanding his term of office
was during a very turbulent
period in labor circles. In 1889
he took an active part in the re
organization of the Democratic
forces in Iowa where he then IRE
sided and as the result, for the
first time in 35 years, Iowa elect.

repeated his work in 1891 in that
State and the Democratic candi

Boies, was reelected by large
ly increased majority. During

of Labor Statistics of Iowa anc

the laws it has enacted. but here
we have a Board of County Com
missioners, or rather two Com
missioners, who take it upon
themselves to render ineffective
to all intents and purposes, by
reducing to a mere nothing, a
law made by their own creator
defying the legislative body that
gave them existence in their Off
cial capacity.
1.-THE theory has been advanc-
ed by some that the reduction
was made because mines are a
great public benefits. they furn-
ish employment for a great many
men, and do divers other things
which are of great good to the
public at large. They certainly
do all these things, but do the
owners of mines work their
properties merely to furnish en-
ployment for men, or to be great
public benefactors Not on your
life. If mine will only pay ex-
penses, and there is no prospects
of its improving, it doesn't take
the owner very long to close it
down tight.
IF one man should in some
way gain possession of all the
farm land in Custer county, would
the assessed valuation of that
land be reduced sixty or seventy,
or even twenty-five per cent ?
We don't think. But why not
Wouldn't that man at once be-
come a great public benefactor,
and furnish employment for a
great many men
eff a man were to bring into
Custer county 100000 head OF
sheep, would the assessed valua-
ton on the whole bunch be re-
duced to 25 cents a head, because
some one happened to have
sick eve lamb that was not worth
more than that 4? No Their
why in the name of common
sense and justice is a mine like
the Ramshorn only assessed a.
5000, simply because some poor
prospector has a claim on which
the bare $500 worth of develop
ment work has been done thai
gives him the privilege of pat
enting, and that won't produce
as much ore in six months as the
Ramshorn would put out in q
day ? These are things we CAM
understand.
1.-THE assessments may have
been too high in the first place
We don't know much about mines
and therefore, are not able tC
judge, but are convinced that tht
Commissioners have gone four Of
five times as far below the mark
as the Assessor was above. They
have gone so far down the lin'
that we believe they surprised
the mine owners themselves.
"We doubt if the mine owners
of this county asked any such re
duction, and if they did, they
certainly did not expect to get it
What prompted such action Oh
the part of Commissioners Ire
loar and MCGOWAN is a mystery
so far as the general public i
concerned.
Every other county in TIL
State has assessed it's mines at
fair valuation. Why not Custe
, county ?"
In the above the Ramshorn i
the object of censure. While i
is probably the greatest and hes
mine in the county, there are
we believe, other claims in tn
county worth more than $50
actual cash value. If not, W,
have a mighty poor mining in
dustry in Custer county. Th
farce of the whole matter is tina
all our mines are worth to cen
the same-there being no distinc
ton whatever in their values

parties whereby they would escape pun
ishment, and it is further claimed that
this same officer has recently been in
possession Of the stolen diamond.
Reid was arrested in Minneapolis March
81, 1901. Shortly prior to this time the
diamond, valued at $110, was stolen from
the necktie of John L Hooper at the union
depot, who, with number of other mem-
bers OF the Roosevelt Rough Riders
Marching club, was preparing to start for
Washington to witness the inauguration OF
President Roosevelt.
The case is one which appears to. be
attracting considerable attention, and il
it can be proven that any officer Of The
Minneapolis police department was instru-
mental in conYicting an innocent man on
the charge of grand larceny, and having
him sentenced to saltwater for a crime
committed by another, it will probapiy
go hard with that officer. Reid maintains
that he is innocent Of the crime for which
he has been convicted. He admits being
at the depot prior to the departure on the
club to Washington, but when his case
was on trial he would not admit that ne
knew who stole the diamond.
Now that he has been incarceFated Tor
year, and everything is at skies ana

barely possible that he may be able 10

theran synod now in session are nothing
IL not harmonious. 1t appeared for a
tire yesterday as though there might be
some clash over the selection of a sue
cessor to Prof. ] B. Erich, who has re-
signed the presidency of Luther Seminary
at Hanline, and to which place the nom
mating committee had recommended the
name of Prof. Laur Larsen for the posi-
lion
This RECOMMENDATION was in direct op-
position to what a number Of the dele
gates had anticipated, and it looked as
though there might be some trouble over
the selection of a president. Yesterday
afternoon, however, through the diplo-
macy OF President Koren, of the synod, a
way out Of the difficulty was found.
He introduced a resolution before the
The Saint Paul globe., 1902-05-28

synod providing for the office of editor
in chief for the official organ of the syn
Cd, the Kirketedende, published at De-
corah, and that position to be filed by
Prof Larsen, retiring president of Lu-
Iher college. The resolution was unan-
imOusly adopted.
President lkoren then introduced an
other resolution providing for the selec-
tion of a president fer Luther seminary
in the future. The resolution was to the
effect that the office of president of Luz
ther seminary 1Otate annually, and the
position be given to the senior professor
in the college. This resolution was also
carried aud consequently Prof. H. j.
Stub was selected as president for the
ensuing year. Whether this plan of Sc
lecting presidents for the college Will be
permanent or merely temporary is a uues-
tlon, as some of the delegates were not
heartily in sympathy with the plan.
Hand any member of the synod
proposed such n resolution other than
President Koren, it undoubtedly would
have met with strenuous opposition, but
it seems to be an established fact that the
wishes of the venerable president are al
ways taken as the voice of the synod.
and rarely is there an objection made
to any proposition he advances.
Missions Are FIourishinE,
The morning session was taken un
largely with reports from the various
mission fields. All the missions seem to
be in f1ourishing condition, and the
work progressing in a manner that is
satisfactory. The educational committee
made report, and a vote of thanks was
extended to Prof. ]. B. Erich, retiring
president of Luther seminary. He was
also voted an honorary salary e. $500 per
annum.

dents for Luther seminary, the ONCE of
