BORAH's ADDRESS.

BORAH'S ADDRESS.
Mr.. Borah in the first half of a
lengthy speech devoted himself to
national questions, impressing upon
voters the Importance of standing
with the princiI les of his party. He
declared "We may have local
questions, but we can deal with
them.
He spoke at length on the Mormon
question in defense of himself
against the attacks of Senator Du-
bois. He declared he is not ode
Tending the Mormons, but the integ-
rity of tie republican party, the
womanhood and the manhood OF
southern Idaho. He challenged
Senator Dubois to make complaint in
court if he is convinced new poly
gamy exists anywhere in the state.
"'When the democrats Y they are
opposed to polygamy,' be said,
''they simply touch popular chord.
We all are equally opposed to 1t. =
He denied knowledge of the existence
of new polygamy in the state. de

delivered in the senate three years
ago in which the senator is quoted as
saying: "Polygamy in Idaho is dead

or Gooding and W. E. Borah, candi-
date for United States senator, dis
cussed political issues before an au-
dience of 400 here last night.
The Governor, after an introduce
ton by A. G. Cogswell, who presided
over the meeting, delivered brief
but most forceful address in defense
of his policy regarding the state land
leases, but the most telling portion
of his speech was in reference to the
Steunenberg assassination case. He
declared regarding the notorious
'kidnaping'' charges that 4never
was more care taken in preparing
papers by which suspected criminals
might be brought to trifl in the state
where the crime had been committed
than in the case of Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone, and never was a gov,
ernor more careful in issuing extra
tiuon papers then was Governor Nc
Donald of Colorado.
The governor emphatically denied
the chErge hat he has said hese men
are guilty, and as emphatically de-
clarea that tie state is and always
has been willing and gla to bring
e case to trial at any time. He al
SO denied the barge that the mine

of the railway surgeons of America,
as expressed at their annual meeting
here tonight, are regarded by the
railway companies, engineers and fire.
men experienced in the service will
no longer be discharged for defective
eyesight, but will be allowed to wear
eye glasses and retain their positions.
ID. Nelson Black of Milwaukee, in
a paper ad at the meeting on this
topic said that old employees whose
visual powers wer. weakened through
advancing age should be given the
privilege of retaining their positions.
DIR. S. c. Plummer, chief surgeon
of the Rock Island syst EN-, said that
already his company was allowing the
use of glasses by employees where il

HE IS NOT WANTED.

It is stated that certain Russian authors are snarling because the Amer ican people refused to receive Maxim Gorky and his paramour with open arms and warm demonstrations of approval. We do not see, that any of our citizens should lose sleep over the news, even if 1t is true. We have he 1 and read a great deal about Russian ideas of morality. especially among the lower classes. Gorky as- cended from among the lowest and have not improved any. The Russian ideas of propriety and right living do not by any means fit American ideals.
 Even if it is true, as some have as serted, that his real wife has married again and is not worrying about him or his acts; and even if 1t is also true that legal divorce is practically im- possible for the Russian lower classes, alf- that does not relieve him or the women who is living with him fin open defiance of morality. It may be that, all things being as they are, Gorky ac- tual1y believes that he has done and is doing nothing wrong. He may be- lieve that because his wife has left him and is consoling herself with another partner that he has the right to do likewise. Perhaps he might, in Russia. He and the woman may be all right in their own country, and the society there may receive them on the same terms that 1t would if they were legally married.
 Of that we are not qualified to judge, but we do know that the best people in the United States will not tolerate such an alliance as exists between this man and woman and will not look on them as proper subjects of welcome and warm hospitality. Our people were not slow to learn that Gorkey's socialistic If not anarchistic, ideas are not suited to right-thinking Americans We already had enough of his sort and their teachings and want no additions Neither In theory nor in words Is he looked on as valuable accession to our population, and when to his so- cialistic ideas he adds open defiance to the best ideals of American citizen ship be and his countrymen have no right to feel either surprised or ag- Grieved If he is given anythin 'rt a cordial welcome.
 The bes. that this mans friends and countrymen can do. if they are dis satisfied with his reception and treat ment in the United States, is to call him back co where he will be better appreciated. The best thing he can do is to get together his belongings. including the woman, and take the Hrs steamer home We have no need of such propagandists as he is, and we want no missionaries of his cla ss among us. He and his doctrines are obnoxious, and he and his unmarried woman are offensive Let him go back to Russia and try to learn something more about Americans and their ideas than he now seems to know. Gorky is not wanted.

Letters to the Editor.
MT. Conner and the ConstItution.

Editor Advertiser.
 MT. Conner is silent as to his position on the ratification of the constitution. He evidently considers himself the very embodiment and personification of the intelligence and patriotism of the state and the self appointed guardian of it's liberties. On all political questions, his imperious will must be obeyed and he must be recognized as complete an autocrat as the CZar of all the Russias. Hon. Broncho Buster Conner is now en- gagged fin a terrific onslaught on the rail roads. He is almost frenzied in his vie- lent attacks: He is making as deadly Knight Don Quixote did on the famous windmill in his day.
 In the opinion of many, there nave been questions more important than the railroads upon which MT. Conner great civil conflict ended and tens of thousands of our best and bravest men had been sacrificed in defense of south ern liberties and the devastation deso- lation and destruction of war had swept oyer our fair southland, the triumphant and dominant republican party in order to make the south re- publican and to still further humiliate and mortify our people conferred the right of suffrage on the ignorant Afri- cans.
 Tn 1901, the democracy of Alabama arose in its night and majesty, adopted our new constitution, disfranchised the illiterate purchasable negro, firmly es- a gigantic wrong. Did MT. Conner not consider this matter of vital impor ance to the people of Alabama? Did he favor the ratification of that con about 1t been to denounce 1t as being dictated and dominated by the rail.

MONEY FOR FRISCO
MAYOR TEAGUE WILL MAKE RE-
 MITTANCE TODAY.
Montgomery has Subscribed S5,202.72 For Earthquake sunerers-Mr. Wells Tenders Use
 of Theatre.

Mayor Teague said yesterday that he 1 would today send, by New York Ex- change. the funds raised in Montgom- cry for the relief or the San Fran cisco sufferers. The money. 'he said, would have been forwarded yesterday, but for the fact that 1t was legal holiday.
 The Mayor has as yet received no reply to the telegram to Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco asking if he had al- ready drawn on Montgomery for the first $1,000 rendered the sufferers.
 Dr R. L. Milligan, chairman of the West End Soliciting Committee, yes tcrday reported to the Mayor additional subscriptions in the sum of $9.65, in cluding cash" subscriptions and sub scriptions of s1 from J. P. Brown, 25 A. Reeves and $1 from J. B. Clements.
 Other subscriptions yesterday were: ". M. Irvine, $10. and John A. Fillmore, $2.5O
 With the s5.24o.5s previously ac- knowledged and the s22.15 subscribed yesterday, the total subscribed by Mont gomery to the fund is $5,262.71.
 Fund for Photographers.
 Montgomery Local No. 3S, of .he Commercial Photographers Union of America. has raised $20 for the relief of the unfortunate telegraphers of San Francisco. The money has been for Wesley Russell of Chicago, General Secretary-Treasurer.
 It is thought that many more sub scriptions from the telegraphers will follow as 200 circulars have been sent out from the Montgomery local to tell egraphers in and adjacent to this city. A like movement is in progress by this organization all over the country.
 w. NJ. Shoemaker, Montgomery agent of the Southern Express Company. was advised yesterday that M. J. OBrien. President of that company. had sub- scribed $5,000 for the relief of the San Francisco people.
 Generosity of MT. Wells.
 Jake Wells of Richmond, Va. who owns a score or more of theatres in the South, including the Bijou Theatre ,in Montgomery. said yesterday that any party of people in Montgomery desiring to give an entertainment for the benefit of the San Francisco suffer- CTS could have free use of the theatre, its staff of employees and its orchestra.
 A movement was started yesterday afternoon to accept the tender of Mir. Wells. There Is probability that the Standard Club Dramatic Society, which presented the charming play, For Love. or Money" at the Club ear 1y in tho week for the pleasure of the delegates to the B'Naf B'Rith Grand Lodge will repeat the play at the Bi- jou Theatre for the Frisco fund.
 The receipts from all matinee per- formances~ yesterday in the Jake Wells theatres of the South were given to the cause of San Francisco and as yes- terday was a holiday there Is little doubt that the money thus raised will be a goodly sum.
