Mr.. Goedlng interviewed.

r. r. Cooding Of Shoshone. chair
man of the republican state central
committee, arrived in the city las;
afternoon. Mr.. Gooding stated tina;
his visit here was timed to coincide
with the session of the supreme
court when number Of prominent
men of the state are in attendance,
in order, in his capacity as chair
man, to discuss and inform himself
as to political conditions and plans.
Owing to his position as chairman
Mr.. Gooding excused himself from
discussing state tickets or candi-
dates, but said he understood those
who would be in the race for gov
srnor besides the present executive
we're Judge Richards of Boise. May
or Steely Of Pocatello. E. e. Dewey
Of Nampa. State Auditor Turner
and Francis Jenkins Of Moscow.
Ee did not think Speaker Hunt
would be . candidate.
President Roosevelt" he said,
"will carry Idaho by 10000 and
the state ticket will also be elected.
| do not think the Mormon question
will be an issue in Idaho now or
hereafter. ! hope it will not.
There is no reason Why Utah's
troubles should bet aiken up in Idaho.
That state is already suffering
enough from the agitation to be a
warning to US.
81 do not believe ths church does
or can influence politics in this state
unless the church itself is attacked.
The bitteresl feuds and factions in
the state are among the Mormon
leaders, notably in Budge-Rich case,
and in lesser way the same applies
all through the Mormon country in
both parties. If the church could
heal those violent dissensions it
seems reasonable to suppose it
would do %. The Mormons seem
TO me to stick closer to their re-
spsctive parties than other citizens.
There was greater revolution in
Nez Perce county at the last election
han in any Of the Mormon counties.
In Oneida county, the strongest
Mormon county in the state. the re-
oublicans lost twenty-four votes
rom the preceding election. while
n all the northern counties We made
arge gains.
II have no idea as to whether
senator Smoot will be unseated but
do not believe case has been
nade against him.

action. The spirits of Frances rose
as she listened. The invariable con

had its inspiring effect on her depress-

gathering heartlessly frivolous, as at
first she had resentfully estimated it.
She was in the midst of enthusiastic
champions Of her father and realized
now as never before the great part he
played in the world.

A Wall FROM RUSSIA.

T HE RUSS. q well known St. Peters
L burg paper. grows peevish over the
alleged violation by Japan of The
Hague convention in bombarding quar-
anJine hospitals on the San Chan Tao
islands. \ nation that has violated
the ordinary rules of civilized warfare
as much os has Russia has no right to
complain at similar violations by other
nations. Japan may or may not be
guilty I'm this instance. but we do not
yet know that she is. fer she has had
no opportunity to present her side Of
the matter. The Russ SAYS:
Who knows what excesses Japan
may go To IN violation of the internal
tional law? The obligations assumed
by her the feeling of solidarity among
the nations and the defense of the fun
damental principles Of humanity, must
compel the world, if not today. then
tomorrow, ito say to Japan. Thus far
and no farther"
A change has come over the spirit
Of the Russian dream. Only a little
while ago we are told that the Rus
slams could more than take care Of
themselves: that they would crush
Japan with the utmost possible expe-
dition; that the war would end per-
haps. with the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Jap
an. Now comes a scream for inter
ference by the powers. not in behalf
of Japan, but for Russia. Still it is
not at all likely that the powers will
enter any protest against the japanese
methods.
When the Spaniards were firing on
our hospital tents and on our hospital
field corps in IS9S the United States
did not ask any other nation TO inter
fere. We just went ahead and whipped
Spain until she cried Enough Rus
STA has men enough and money enough

the conflict thus far do not indicate
any such conclusion. The Japs are
fighting harder every day and fighting
better, and Russia is realizing more
and more that she has a very large un-
dcrtaking on her hands.

STARTING OUT WRONGLY.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT that pub
licity is to be avoided I'm the in
vesigation of the meat trust to be UNI
dertaken BY the department Of COM
merce Is far from satisfactory. It seems
90 us that too much publicity cannot
be given to a proceeding of this char
acter As much for the protection Of
one side as for the other. every hearing
should be held I'm the open. every parti-
Gle Of evidence for and against the trust
should be given to the public at once.
Suspicion Invariably attaches TO any
investigation I'm which the public is in
terested when II is conducted behind
closed doors. 1t is entirely probable
that the inquiry viii be honest enough.
1T is too early TO question Secretary
CortelyOu's motives. Perhaps he will
go into the question with great thor
oughness. but there are indications al
ready that he will not. For instance.
we are told that the department will
not stooD to detective work in the con-
duct Of the inquiry
That is a rather singular expression.
is detective work dishonest? Are not
detectives nearly always used in fer
reting out crime? Why should not de-
tective work be done in this connec-
ton? Surely Mr.. Cortelyou is not in
nocent enough to believe the meat trust
will furnish evidence against itself
How will it be possible to have COM
plete hearing unless somebody is de-
tailed to secure evidence2 Mr.. Cortel-
you may not know Il. but people who
are well informed, especially in the
west, know well enough that there Is
a meat trust, and that it is doing bust
ness I'm contravention of the antitrust
statute.
BY all means somebody should be
put to work securing evidence against
this trust 1t should not be hard to
get plenty Of evidence. There is the
recent story of the cattleman who went
90 Chicago with two cars of cattle. He
approached one buyer after another.
but the price offered by the first buyer
he met was the price offered by all.
This cattleman waited a day or two
and then sold his cattle at the trust
price. The animals were unloaded and
he then saw them separated and driven
TO pens belonging to different members
of the combination.
If that is not an unlawful organiza-
ton there is no such thing as a trust.
