If our democratic exchanges
are q criterion the action Of the
Weiser convention is meeting
with strong disfavor in the dem
ocratlc party Of the state. In
TACT, q strong democratic paper,
takes occasion to point out that
not a single democratic paper
has given editorial approval,
while most OF them have made
adverse comment. Vigorous de-
nunciation is heard regarding
Senator Dubois's domination Of
party affairs and the Mormon
question, but the chief cause Of
censure is that the resolutions
are anti-Mormon instead Of anti
polygamious and it is said that
nomination OF candidates on the
issue will be strongly opposed.

THERE are but ten days re-

THERE are but ten days re-
manning before the republican,
primaries will be held in the sew
eral precincts OF the county.
Numerous candidates are al
ready in the field, several for the
same Office in one or two instan-
ces, and there is a likelihood
that delegates from some OF the
precincts will be instructed for
favorite candidates. In this
great care must be exercised lest
grave mistakes be made and
delegates be pledged to support
men who may fail to develop
any strength and thereby be a
stumbling block in the way OF
more acceptable candidates. If
the convention is not left free to
avail itself OF the best and stron-
gest material at it's disposal, dis
aster is apt to result. II weak
or incapable men are put up to
satisfy n spirit OF revenge and
asperity there is little doubt
that they will be repudiated at
the polls in November.

IDAHO will never come to her
b st until all the magnificent
water courses of the state are
utilized for generating electrical
energy to be used for manufact-
uring, transportation and farm
ing even. Not a stick OF timber
should be used for fuel for manu-
featuring purposes, when there
are millions OF horsepower going
to waste in the streams. The
water power will last forever, if
the forests are left to protect it.

are not gentle. flying dust makes
things very unpleasant on Main
street. This condition could be
eliminated by sprinkling the
street twice n day by hose or
tank. The business men should
recognize it to their interest to
have this done. BY each con-

could be done to add to the APP

treatment, but find the same spirit
of vindictiveness still in evidence.
The Press lied about me under the
old management, and continues to do
to criticism of my official acts, but
l do object to being misrepresented,
and no fair-minded journal will de-
liberately misrepresent anybody. The
article in The Press of yesterday
(January ~ was a deliberate mis-
representation. My order revoking
the former order in relation TO cribs
was published in The Press, and the
order of revocation stated In the first
line that it was done at the request
of the police commissioners. l never
consulted anybody concerning the
matter excepting Mr.. Root, who re-
peatedly requested me to do so before
I consented, and he informed me that
the other members of the board join

son ever requested me to revoke the
order or even objected to it.
