The eighth legislature is thing
of the past and what it accom-
plished has become history, but of
this we may rest assured, that if
half the good things Promised last
fall by the dominant party be re-
allied we shall all, for the next
two years, reap the golden harvest
of prosperity and wallow in
the elephantine aflluence while
we dine gloriously on the fat of the
land.
In spite of all this benign bene-
ficence, however, we are constrain-
ed. to note an ominous silence
among our republican campaign
organs on several topics that were
freely discussed less than six
months ago. Did the eighth legisla-
ture endeavor to afford any relief
from high taxes? Not so, but on the
contrary it bound the republican
party irrevocably to the policy Of
high taxation and the administra-
ton is now stretching forth its
suppliant hands beseeching the
dear people to grant it more power
to wiring pennies from their dear
pocket books. Last fall democrat
ic leaders told us that a serious
evil existed in Idaho in the form
of poligamy, fact which republi.
can leaders denied, but the repub-
lican legislature spent much Of it's
time and energy trying to remedy
this same evil which upon good re-
publican authority did not exist
consistency thou art a jewell"
The bounty OF a dollar and half
on coyote scalps was repealed.
That is tax-reduction, but fifteen
dollars apiece for each and every
pair of cougar ears is reduction
ascending. For the republican
party to wage war OF extermina-
tion against the cougar, may be
just the thing to bring peace Of
mind to the wealthy, and pros
perity to the poor, but many
of our people are from Missouri
and they will have to be showed.
But we do feel sure that some
good has been done by the eighth
session and we are especially SEN
sible of the fact that a few new Of
fees were created whereby remun-
erative herths can be found for
some Of the old veteran bunco-
masters who are just now out of a
Job.

THE PRESIDENT
AND THE CHINESE

President Roosevelt is looking into
the enforcement of the law prohibit
ing the entrance of Chinese coolies
into this country and also the in
dignities alleged to have beein inflict-
ed upon bona fde merchants and
otners ranking above the coolie class
1t mas been said that our export
trade TO China is seriously hurt N
the obnoxious manner in which
law is enforced, Chinese merchants
being unwilling to come to the United
States and pass through the ordeal
of an examination at the different
ports OF entry in regard to tneir
standing at home.
President Roosevelt will undoubted-
lly go TO the bottom OF the matter
and find out exactly where the trouble
lies. He will not seek to nullify the
law by lax method OF enforcement.
but he will strive TO prevent it from
being enforced with the strictness
and severity which may work more
injury to American trade than the
coming OF a few coolies would do to
the American laboring class.
Undoubtedly 1t would be better to
let few coolies pass, although they
might be guilty Of attempting to
evade our immigration laws than to ex-
clude single innocent and unoffend-
ing merchant or student. A few
hundred coolies who mignt thus slip
through in the course Of year would
do no harm in any event, whereas the
coming of many merchants might
exert highly beneficial influence on
our trade with China
The importance Of this matter
should be considered in connection
with the strong probability tnat the
representatives Of commercial houses
in competing countries will enlarge
upon the treatment to which Chinese
merchants are subjected at American
ports. They will seek to discourage
Chinese of the first class from visit
ing the United States. and our of
ficials should avoid SO far as possible
everything that would seem to give
color TO such oharges.-Denver Re.
