WHY THEY FIGHT COOLING.

Malcontents may howl till they are
hoarse; disappointed political graiters
may rant and tear their hair; and SELF
styled reformers and 'mugwamp editors
may rend the air with their appeals to
popular prejudice, but the gteat fact
remains that Governor Frank R. Good
ing is giving TO Idaho the best admin
istration the state has ever had. Will
the people who are familiar with the
political history OF Idaho dare say that
the man, who, by his answering fdel-
ity to public trust, has retrieved from
the hand of greed and graft, millions
of dollars worth Of public land, is
not worthy of all the confidence and
honor given him7 And will the people
when they learn the truth turn their
backs upon him and his splendid adj
ministration for no better reason than
that Mr.. Gooding is not running things
to suit Henry c. Shaver, Ex-Governor
Mcconnell, and other great statesmen
Had Mr. Gooding appointed our ex-
Governor to the coveted position OF
immigration commissioner how much
OF howl would now be coming from
that source2 Had Governor Gooding
betrayed the people and sold out to
the Weyerhauser timber syndicate as
did H. c. Shaver, neither would the
Colonel have thought it becoming to
roll up his sleeves and wade into the
man who had honor and honesty
enough to face the whole gang, headed
by such grafters as Francis jenkins,
Attorney Johnny Grey, Of Shoshone
county, and others in their frantic eff
forts to force Governor Gooding to per-
nit the timber company TO steal the
last vestage of timber from the schools
of this state. Then why the fight up
on Governor Gooding2 For no better
reason than that he has refused to per-
init grafters to feed upon the resources
of the state. And, being honest, the
people will honor him and stand by
him, counting themselves lucky, in
deed, ifso able man can be kept at
the helm in the affairs Of our state.

II railroad commission, backed by
good, sound law, cannot really regu-
late railroad rates why do the railroads
oppose all measures looking to the
creation of such commissions? The
facts are the abuses which grow up
under no regulation are invariably cor
rected and stopped just as soon as the
states step in. The evidence Of this
is far too plentiful to admit Of conuo-

Do not forget that on the 18th of
next month the citizens Of this town
will say whether or not Troy shall
continue TO make rapid advancement
or long slide backwards. If the
town is to grow, if men are to invest
money here, the town must have a
good, substantial water system. If
for no other reason our town must have
lower insurance rates, which will come
only with protection against fire.

sMOOT AND THE MORMONs.

The News will venture the assertion
that there is not even one republican
in Latah county who is not eternally
opposed to any union of church and
state, whether it be Mormonism,
Catholicism, Meihodistism, or any
other sect. And while the democratic
politicians and few democratic news
papers may howl for political purposes,
and strive to create sentiment against
the Mormons, no man or woman who
values liberty, either civil or religious
as priceless heritage, will deny to
even Mormon civil rights enjoyed by
other citizens. regardless Of the church
to which they belong. Upon this
subject the Lewiston Daily Tribune
said in an editorial Tuesday:
The material facts have been
known Of all men from the first, and
the question is simply whether Smoot
shall be excluded from his seat merely
becuse he is a Mormon. AS to the
theoretical charges made against him,
that his duties TO the church prevent
his dischsrging the duties of con-
gresham, that members Of his church
may or may not engage in practices
forbidden by law and all the associated
conjectures that may arise under the
circumstances, it would be impossible
to exaggerate the mischief OF the con
sequences Of expelling a senator on
the score Of such opinions. The law
simply prohibits the practice Of po-
lygamy no one accuses Senator Smoot
OF this ofiense. The law does not
prohibit him or any enc else, Mormon
or Gentle, from having private opin-
ions concerning the desirability or
moral propriety CT otherwise OF po-
lygamy, nor does it appear that even
Senator Shoots opinions run contrary
to the statutes. A man in this coun-
Try may have any opinion or any re-
hgion he chooses so long as he re-
trains in practice from a violation of
the state or federal law. That is all
there is to the whole business and the
effort by petition and otherwise to in
duce the senate to transcend its con
stitutonal powers in denying him the
right Of Office TO which he has been
duly elected contains in it the germs
of more mischief than all the Mormons
in the country. Salt Lake has gone
about it right in defeating the Nor
mons at the polls if they don't want
them in Office and Idaho can do the
same thing if it should ever be shown
the sect is detrimental to our civil in
stitutions. As the case stands, how
ever, it looks like these people are
entitled to deal of credit for their

that fact will not make a democrat out
of Teddy, but is simply an admission

error Of their way and the folly of
further efforts to bolster up long lost
cause. 1t is simply an admission that

A western exchange publishes the
following conundrum: A banker saun-
tering home for his dinner saw a $40
bill on the curbstone. He picked it
up and took the number in order to
find the owner While at home his
wife remarked that the butcher had sent
in bill amounting 70 $40. The only
money he had with him was the bill he
had found, which he gave to her and
she paid the butcher. The butcher
paid it to a farmer for a calf and the
farmer paid it TO a merchant, who, in
turn paid it to a washwoman, and she,
owing the banker a note Of $40, went
to the banker and paid the note. The
banker recognized the bill as the one
he had found, and which, up to that
time, had paid $50 Of debt. On care
full examination he found that the bill
was counterfeit. Now, will some Of
our friends kindly tell US what has been
lost in this transaction and by whom7
