acht against Mormon Bishop Wooley,
and it is looking pretty uneomfort-
able for the Zionite, although he had
the recommendation of all the
republican state machine. The
chances are now two to one that ne
will not get the assay office plum -
Caldwell News.
The republican machine in Idaho
consisting of Senator Hepburn, Con
gresham French, and State Chairman
, Gooding, have converted" Roosevelt
into appointing Bishop Wooley
assayer at Boise. This means that the
Mormons will be- solid for Roosevelt.
1t also means that Governor Morrison,
Rees Davis, and the Statesman will
have to quit chewing the rag and
bunch their hits II they expect to
make a run on The republican dia-
mond this year. Parma Herald.
} News from Boise about the rupture
of the republican party over the
Mormon question should be taken
with a grain Of salt All the press
dispatches coming out Of the capital
city are eolored by what the Boise
Statesman thinks Of the situation,
and that paper has just suffered
defeat by having Wooley nominated
as assayer at the Boise office without
its sanction or consent. The States
man Is without prestige now in the
councils Of the party and consequent
ly its nose is very much out Of
Joint. Lewiston Teller
The fight that has been made
against Mr.. Wooley is the dlrttest
one that has ever been made against
any man in the state. The majority
of the atfidavits are said 10 have come
from those who have violated the law,
and we're allowed to go by paying a
fine and not get into the courts. /
When Mr. Wooley has these charges .
all cleared up we suppose they will .
unearth something his father did .
when boy, and endeavor to blame
him for it. We believe that Presi
dent Roosevelt will fully understand
the situation and appoint him again,
and there will be no doubt about his .

Z. II. Dewey is becoming a leading /
candidate for the republican uomina-
ton for governor, but the Statesman
being under the control Of the Morri
son machine may make it necessary
to put in another republican daily at
Nampa. Mr.. Dewey's long Identified
ton with the interests Of Idaho will
make him formidable opponent for
Governor Morrison, who Is distinctly
in disrepute with his party on account
of universal failures and unredeemed
pledges. However, neither Dewey
nor Morrison could be elected in
Idaho this year Caldwell News.
Ed. Boyce is reported to now be
one OF the directors Of the Selby
smelter. We are pleased at his
prosperity and good fortune, but We
are not informed as to whether Ed il
still in favor Of the collective owner
ship Of smelters and other things
If he is still of that opinion We want
to be one Of the collectors. The
socialists may be able to answer the
/ question. Ed is a good fellow. and
may now take his place in the society
OF all us other great mine owners
Principles and pocketbooks are often
made to harmOnize in spite OF social
ism. Idaho State Eagle.
Extremists, like socialists and
other visionary agitators, claim that
the more the people are oppressed the
nearer tho approach to reforms. In
other words that poverty and priya.
ton will arouse the latent energies
OF the oppressed and they will throw
on the yoke Of bondage and free
themselves. This Is true IN to
given point only. The really poor
aud oppressed never change condi.
tions in their own interests. The
poorer man becomes the nearer no
approaches serfdom. The serfs Of
Europe are in the majority, yet tbey
are most obedient servants Of the
royalty who robs them. All history
proves that there il a point where
the degraded fall below the possibility
Of self recurperation. This condition
Is proven in the sweat shops of New
York city and other congested centers
They have no time between the
struggle for bread and shelter to
educate themselves to the possibility
of meeting any opposition. Under
such conditions the stomach becomes
the commander in chief Of man. and
socialist who advocates a condition
Of poverty and oppression AZ mean.
