GO BACK TO
BOSTON, MARY.

Miss Mary Ogden White. of
Boston, Mass, representing the
Interdenominational Council of
Women's Clubs, has been sent
into this state to tell the poor
benighted women of Idaho that
an awful crisis is at hand-a
crisis which menaces the home
and the fair name of the state
pleading with tears in her eyes
that they come to the rescue of
Idaho and its homes, and, Incl
dentally, the job of Senator Du-
bois.
Mary informs the audiences
that go to hear her speak that
the awful conditions existing in
southern Idaho became known
to the people of Boston some
months ago, and that she and
other women of the Bay State
had been dispatched to the res
cue; she says the women of Ida
ho are longing for release from
their present thralldom; that the
hierarchy so dominates IN poll
tics that the women of the state
must be relied upon to rise up
and destroy the power of the
octopus by voting the Demo-
cratic ticket this fall; that in
southern Idaho the conditions
existing are so pitiful that real
true American women are plead
ing for help.
Go back to Boston, Mary, and
look after the poor outcast wo-
men in your own city. The peo-
pile of Idaho are we'll able to
manage their own affairs with
out the aid of outsiders. The
writer has lived ten years in
Boston and one year in south
ern Idaho, and has found the
political and moral atmosphere
in this state much cleaner and
purer than has ever been known
to exist in Boston town. For
years Boston has been in the
grasp of gang of unscrupulous
politicians who have disrupted
its public school system, saddled
an enormous debt on the city
and winked at disreputable
places in the north and south
ends.
Poor, ,outcast women go about
the streets of Boston begging for
bread and shelter, while the In
terdenominatio nal Wome S
Club raise a bunch of cash to
send Mary Ogden White and
Others into Idaho to tell the peo-
pie that a pitiful condition is ex-
isting here.
The people of the old Bay
State will find enough good sa-
maritan work to do in their own
back yard if they will but remain
at home and give it their atten-
ton.
The people of Idaho are an en-
lightened, intelligent class. They
do not require your advice,
Mary, to tell them how to vote
or how to act. They are well
qualified to do their own think
ing and their own voting. Go
back along the pike, Mary, to
Boston town. You will find
plenty to do there in the way of
cleaning up your own dooryard.

JUDGE ST0GkSLAG[R.

Until the Occur d'Alene con.
vention when Judge Stockslagei
accepted the nomination for gov,
ernor on the Dubois ticket, we
had always considered HIM a
fair-minded man, but when he
accepted the nomination on a
platform of religious persecution
and the disfranchisement of one
fourth of the citizens of the state
Of Idaho, we are obliged to
change our opinion OF the man,
No, fair minded man nor no re-
putable citizen can subscribe to
such an infamous platform with
out losing the respect of all fair
minded people. The Judge has
made the mistake of his life and
his name will go down in his.

Judge Stockslager and Fred T.
Dubois are politically married as
regards their unholy hatred oi
the Mormon people and they
cannot and will not be divorced
on this question. Not only this
year has Stockslager plainly
shown that his heart and soul
are with Dubois, but two years
ago he helped him win his fight
in the democratic state conven-

of Blaine county, came to the

so some of the friends of Stock
slayer say, that the Mormon
democrats should hold him re-
sponsible for the fight that is be-

SPLENDID ADMINISTRATION.

AS the campaign progresses 1t
becomes more and more appar-
ent that the people have a thor
ough understanding of the tre-
mendous value to the state the
services of Frank r. Gooding as
governor have been. His chal-
lenge to the democracy to dis
cuss the administration of the
past two years remains unswer-
ed, for the very good reason that
the records show the best admin
istratlon Idaho or any other
Pacific Coast state ever has had.
The value of his services to the
state of Idaho is truly immeas-
urable, To endeavor to express
it in figures would be impossi-
BILE. In the item of the earnings
through the land department
alone during two years, through
the business judgment of the
governor and the other members
of the land board, the state has
benefited in money received alone
almost 100000 more than had
been received from these sources
throughout the fourteen years
of statehood, prior to 1905. OF
the receipts of the state land de-
partment during those fourteen
years practically three fourths
was during the administration
of Governor Morrison, a republi-
can.
But greater than this has been
the benefit derived through the
work of the state land board in
the selection of valuable land.
Fifty thousand acres of worth
less lands selected by former ad-
ministration, were relinqulshed
to the United States, and in their
stead have been selected lands
estimated to be worth at the
present time in excess OF half a
million dollars. Over 100000
acres more of lands have been
selected, which are worth from
SO to $50 an acre, and through
the work of the land board the
state lands have been carefully
gone over and it has been learn
ed that of selections of former
administration over 80 per cent
are worthless. Governor Good
ing now plans to ask congress,
through our congressional dele
CATION to permit the state to re-
linquish these lands to the gov
ernment, and select other lands
in lieu thereof. If this can be ac-
complished the state will owe
him a debt of gratitude for other
millions treasure saved or recov-
cred, which in future years may
be used for the maintenance of
our public institutions.
The state administration DUR
ing the years 1905 and 1906 has
been conducted purely as busi-
ness proposition. The state ad-
minlstration has regarded itself
as trustees of a sacred trust, and
has labored earnestly to make
the best possible use of the op-
portunities for the advancement
of the states interests. Cover
nor Gooding has stood firmly
for righteousness in public life.
If elected to succeed himself dur
ing the two years to come, he
will inevitably give the people of
the state an administration to
which its people may point with |
pride and satisfaction during all |
the years to come.

Within little more than year Of the
beginning Of his frst elective term IN. the
office. President Roosevelt finds himself
unsupported in Congress by the reprc-
sentatives of the party which gave
him such tremendous majority at the
election Of 1904 He has cast his po-
htical fortunes upon the enactment OF
the Hepburn Railroad Rates bin, and,
despite a victory in the House which in
dicated the almost complete subiection
Of the representatives Of his party 70
his will, finds himself in the Senate con-
fronted by a Republican opposition that
threatens to encompass his defeat In
his extremity he has called upon the
Democratic Senators to rally TO his cause.
The Railroad Rates bill is a measure
which, under ordinary considerations,
would not be looked upon with partisan
eyes Il involves a business question,
pure and simple. But President Roose-
welt chose TO make il a partisan measure,
by the fate Of which his administration
should stand or fall He committed him
self absolutely to the bill as il was passed
by the House Of Representatives, set
ting his face firmly against all suggestions
Of amendment, and only consenting,
grudgingly, to a very slight change in the
direction Of review by the courts. But,
finding that the Senators Of his party are
opposed to the stand he has taken, he
now calls upon the Democratic Senators
10 save him from a defeat which, under
the circumstances, would be most hui
initiating
But it is no part Of the duty Of Demo-
cratic Senators 70 save a Republican adj
ministration from the hands Of enemies
within It's party. Il is their duty to vote
upon the question Of railroad rates regu-
lation, but not TO vote with the object
Of saving the President from defeat.
They should vote for what they conceive
to be the proper kind Of legislation, re-
gardless Of the President's desires. And
Il the pending measure does not suit their
views, they should endeavor to have il
amended OF, failing in this, introduce a
new bill in which their conception of the
needed legislation would find adequate
expression Il is no more their duty
official or personal, TO "stand by the
President" than il is TO join with hi,
Republican opponents in bringing about
his discontinue.
In fact, this Republican family quarre
at Washington is one that does not seen
20 warrant Democratic interference. Let
the Democratic Senators keep hands off
The quarrel precipitated among the Re
publioans by the Railroad Rates bill Il
not for them to settle.

r G. Dun & Co.'s Rcview says "Opon-
ing spring trade is not perccphbly re-
tardod by the partial interruption of coal
mining, except in the immediate vicinity
of anthracite mines. High temperature
not only broadens the demand for season
able merchandise, but stimulates agricul-

ton and starts many contemplated build
ing operations Were it not for few labor
controversies the commercial horizon
would be cloudless. But some manu-

Salary Of Road Inapeotor.

Very naturally, the Levy Court hesl-
tates to determine the question of the
salary that shall be attached 10 the Office
of road inspector, tho new place that
seems to be required by tho Good Roads
law, but for which there is little actual
need. An incumbent has been elected
to the office, but the matter Of salary has
been postponed and is, therefore, still
an open question.
There is little doubt that the influences
in tho Levy Court which compelled the
election Of road inspector, in the face Of
a sentiment decidedly adverse TO such an
action, would be glad to provide the in
cumbent with very liberal salary But
there is 80 little demand for the services
Of the official and he will have so little
real work to perform that even the in
fluences which resulted in the filling Of
the. unnecessary Office hesitate TO further
impose upon the taxpayers by providing
for generous salary.
The best thing for the Levy Court Ia
do is to do nothing So purely an orna-
mental office as that Of road inspector
should not be made to cost the taxpayer,
anything While county tax rate
has been reduced to so cents on the 500
this year there has been such a pronounced
increase in assessments that many prop
erty holders will find themselves compelleC
to pay more money under the 5O-cent rat,
than they formerly paid under an so
cent rate People so burdened will lool
with in grace upon any extrava
gance in the way of unnecessary salaries
The Levy Court, therefore, viii be doinl
about right in letting the Office Of road in
spcctor ramblo throughout the year with
out any salary whatever. There will b,
little danger of the official oven unde
these conditions finding himself INSULT
ciently remunemted by the end OF th
term.

Editor Every Evening; I understand
that the law requires not only that one-half
of the signers of anapplication for a license
to sell Intoxicating liquors shall be free
holders, but that they shall possess a free
hold in the district Tor ward in the city of
Wilmington wherein the inn or tavern
the proprietor or tenant of which seeks
the license, is located l understand
also, that at a recent session of General
Sessions Court this question was
brought up, and the court ruled that the
lreeholding signers must own property
within the district (or ward in the city OF
Nilmmgton) in question
IL will be "a very easy matter to scu-
tinize the signers to license applications,
particularly for rural districts, and ascer-
tain If this provision of the law, as empha-
sized by a decision of the court has been
fully complied with in respect to the appli-
cations to come before the General Ses-
sions Court at the approaching May term.
If any such applications are not fully in
dorsed by the freehold recommendation as
required by law. the Law and Order So
ciety should call the attention of the court
TO such instances, and insist that the appli-
cations be rejected Transient "respect-

ID Whom Mnv He Iook 2

Some time ago It was stated that the
political and personal relations between
President Roosevelt and Senator Alice
were of the most cordial character. Il
was added that Senator Alice was the one
Delaware Republican to whom the Presi-
dent felt he could look for information
as to political conditions in this State.
And now it is said that Senator Alice
is going TO deal President Roosevelt a
deadly blow by voting against his wishes
in the matter of railroad rates legislation.
Having got all the Federal patronage that
is due this State during the term Of the
present administration, il is said he win
return the kindness by stabbing the Presi-
dent in the spot where the wound will
be most sorely felt
Such an act, naturally. would end the
pleasant relations now existing between
President Roosevelt and the sole Senator
from Delaware Where, then, would the
President look for information as to po.
litioal conditions in this State ? He could
OF coure, no longer depend upon Alice
Well there is no doubt that the Presi
dent may find good, faithful and honor

safely rely, IL he viii look for them Will

Revision OF the rarlff.

al am satisfied" wrote Speaker Can
non Of the House of Representatives to
members of the United States Potters'
Association, "that there will be no tariff
revision this Congress, but il goes without
saying that the desire for a change which
exists in the common mind will drive the
Republican party, if continued in power
TO a tariff revision. l do not want it,
but il will come in the not distant future.
Taken in connection with the insistent
demand Of some Of the Massachusetts,
Republican members of Congress for
some attention to the sentiment in favor
of tariff revision, this statement by the
Speaker Of the House takes on a pertinent
interest. The Massachusetts, members are
endeavoring to secure a House Republi-
can caucus to pass upon the question,
but such a caucus, il held, is not likely
to be productive of results. The atti-
tude of Speaker Cannon, so plainly OK
pressed in his letter to the potters shows
what the situation is so far as the Repub-
lican majority of the present House
of Representatives is concerned. The
Speaker is opposed to any tariff revision,
whatever, and he as also confident that
there will be no revision by this Congress
That settlesit.

cratic Congressman from Massachusetts,
referring to the tariff agitation now pro
ceeding from some of his Republican col
leagues, bluntly stated that the insisteni
