That was very disengenius ex-
PLANTATION, excuse, exposition, or
whatever he chooses to call it,
which w. E. Borah made in a pub
lie interview at Lewiston last week
regarding his attitude on the Smoot
case, in case of his election to the
senate. He said, in closing:
"But if the evidence in his case
discloses that he is a polygamist, |
would unhesitatingly vote to UNI
seat him; or if it shows that he
encourages or connives at the prac-
tice of polygamy, l would vote to
unseat him; or if evidence shows
that he is bound to an organization
to which he admits be owes high
er allegiance than to his country
and his flag, would unhesitatingly
vote to unseat him.
Of course Smoot will never adj
NIT that he owes a higher al
legiance TO the Mormon church
than TO the federal govern
ment; but he pays it, Just the same,
and Mr.. Borah knows that he does.
The majority report of the senate
committee appointed to investigate
the Smoot case, signed by Burro VS.,
of Michigan, chairman, says so in
just so many words. 1t also de-
clares that in Utah there is a
practical union of church and state,
that the church controls its MEM
bers politically, that Smoot himself
"countenances and encourages poly
gamy,' even if he doesn't practice
it himself and that:
1T was shown in the investiga-
ton that in the state of Idaho can
didates for office, in order to have
any hope Of success, must visit Salt
Lake City and arrange for such
success with the leaders CT the Nor
mon church. The result of this is
that whatever the Mormon church
desires to have done, either by
way OF legislation or in the way
of administration of the affairs of
the state, is done, and whatever
the Mormon church desires shall
not be done, is not done. So we'll
recognized is this fact that in a
state convention held in Idaho in
the year 1904 one of the leading
Mormons made the proposition that
in case a certain resolution should
be withdrawn, he would go to Utah
and ask the president of the Nor
mon church to cease interfering in
Idaho politics. F"

Maverick goes to its readers this
week one half it's regular size.
The reason for this is that the gas
oline engine which supplies the
power for operating machinery in
the office seems at times to be en-
dowed with the combined nature of
the mule, the mean, bucking cay
use, the pcrvcrse woman, the pop
ular conception of the devil, all
rolled into one indescribably irritat-
ing, aggravating whole that would
cause saint to fall from grace.
This particular implement OF the
evil one has broken all previous
records during the past week and
has forced even the sanguine, opti-
mistic John Phillips, the expert,
to acknowledge that he couldn't
diagnose the disease. Usually, he
can turn a nut here, tighten up a
spring there, call it a blankcty
blank blank, give it a kick and a
turn and off it would go. But of
late, half the time it either would
not bulge an inch, go backwards,
too fast or too slow-a anything so it
would be of no use. II has been
out of commission more than half
the time during the past week. If
it decides to go to work again,
Maverick will come out next week
with eight pages as usual; if it con-
tinues the strike, sledge hammer
will fix it plenty for the scrap iron
heap.

nomical administration OF the af-
fairs of the county and to strict
preservation OF law and order, and
they are further pledged to rigid
enforcement of the la " with regard
to keeping county roads in repair,
and to such an equalization Of as
sessments as will result in the en-
tire property of the county bearing
it's lust burden of taxation.
II is resolved that our party can
didates, individually and collec-
lively, be pledged to the people of
this county and state for faithful
performance of every duty required
of them under our statutes.
1t is further resolved that our
nominees impress upon their minds
the fact that in accepting office
at the bidding or by the grace of
the Democrats of this county, every
pledge expressed or implied must be
kept.
We condemn any rings or cliques
and any action that may have been
taken prior to or during this con-
vention in the personal interest OF
any candidate or set of candidates.
We state it to be the purpose of
the Democrats here assembled to
deal justly and equitably with each
and every precinct in the county and
to give each and every precinct the
representation to which it is en-
titled on the county ticket.
We insist that this convention be
held open and above board and that
each and every deleg ate shall have
equal voice in the selection of the
ticket, and the opportunity to use
his efforts in behalf of any candi-
date or candidates whose names
may be presented, to the end that
the best possible selection may be
made of those who are to carry the
banner of the Democratic party in
the coming campaign.

and entertained the audience. The
pi eliminates were good in their
way, but the fight was corker,
while it lasted. 1t was to have
been a twenty round contest, but
Goldie's manager threw up the
sponge at the end of the seventh
round. Brady had the Nampa boy
bleeding at mouth and nose in the
second, had him licked every min
ute and could have killed him, had
he wanted to. But he fought more
than fair; when his man was down,
he would take a turn around the
ring, smiling the while. Goldie is
clever with his dukes in an anna
flourish way, but he was outclassed
when he went against Brady.

CHICAGO SHEEP MARKET.

w. r. Smith writes from Chicago,
under date of October s: Receipts
of sheep and lambs this week have
again been a record breaker The
largest receipts previous to this
week were 167, 400, but this
week will foot up about IFS, 900.
The actual count for the first four
days being 1863, 1853, and receipts
today estimated at 1000. AS
usual at this time of the year re-
ceipts have been principally lambs,
though both Wyoming and Montana
have been well represented by
sheep.
Monday with receipts 40, $50 both
sheep and lambs of good quality
were in demand at steady prices as
compared with the close of last
week, and demand for feeding
lambs being shade better, though
prices were not quotably higher.
$7.35 was top on western lambs.
A good many of the medium kind
selling around 7c while something
a little better than feeders went to
the killers at SO. 90 to $6.75, with
the bulk of the feeders at SO. Is to
$6.4O, the most of the good to
choice wethers sold at $5.25 to
$3.50, with choice ewes from
$500 TO $5.25, with breeders at
$5.25 to $3.50.
There was a fair demand for
short mouthed ewes for feeders
around &C. Tuesday receipts were
40, 1884; good quality was again in
demand at steady prices, fully one
half of the lambs going as feeders.
/ Wednesday with As, 649 trade was
congested, and while few sheep
sold early at steady prices, the bulk
of the fair to choice lambs sold 10c
/ lower, and sheep a strong 15c low
er. Feeding lambs, however, were
in demand at steady prices. Thurs
day with receipts 21, 1913, both sheep
and lambs were slow sale, and
mostly 10 to IS lower, for good kill
ers, while feeders were in demand
at steady prices. Today with re-
ceipts estimated at 1000 the mar
ket is very slow, though no change
in prices, on the choice quality.
Shipments for the first four days
of this week are about $1,000.
Shipments from the west this week
have been about days longer or
the road than usual, which has hao
telling effect on the quality.
Lambs more especially showing thai
they are shrinking. figure that
this weeks receipts will stand as Z

GARRETT, THOROUGHBRED

Elmore county and Mountain
Home are entirely justified in the
pride they feel regarding the fair
given here last week. 1t was
good show and splendid showing.
1t served as an object lesson proof
that great variety of fruits, mel
ons, vegetables, grasses and grains
can be rsised here, politically and
of quality unexcelled anywhere on
earth. Every one connected with
its management has congratulations
and concentrations coming. Much
of its success is due to ]. A. Pur-
till, who, as secretary, worked
early and late, giving his personal
attention to multitude of details,
always square and prompt and
efficient. There are others whose
names deserve special favorable
mention; but no one will object to
having Mr.. Purtill singled out as
the one man who was everywhere,
doing two mems work
]. II. Garrett, however, is the
man to whom is due the thanks of
the county and town for the fair.
He it was who originated the enter
prise, whose pronounced executive
ability and personal liberality push
ed il along to a successful consum-
nation. He is steam engine for
enter prise, has a brain sufficiently
resourceful to overcome every OBJ
stacle, is actuated by public spirit
untainted with selfishness. He is
thoroughbred, without a drop of
cayuse blood in his big body, a
plunger whose only limit is the
bright blue sky. He is worth q
car load of even average good cit
liens TO any community.

sistent efforts and matchless abil.
