The miners union may not be re-
sponsible for the assassination Of ex-
Governor Steunenbery but one thing
is certain the deed will be the occas-
ion for much rejoicing among the law
less element of that organization.
While Mr.. Steunenberg was governor
the Western Federation of Miners did
not hesitate to paint him as a tyrant
and brand him as a being base and
depraved, whose public acts were more
cruel than the most wanton deeds Of
Rus ian rulers, and in their speeches
the hired assassins and pro-
fessional sluggers Of the Western Fed
Grafton said openenly he ought to be
murdered. The deed is little worse
than many committed by members Of
the Western Federation during their
reign in the Occur d'Alene mining
district and there is no evidence that
this organization has recently reformed.

Will Ex-Governor Mcconnell please
tell the people what the state Of Idaho
or even Latah county has to do with
the fact that taxes in Moscow are IA
per cent for 1905? II the people OF
Moscow, through their city council or
by special election, vote themselves
into debt it is hard to see what the
governor Of Idaho has to do with it, or
how he is to blame. When Governor
Gooding signed bills appropriating
funds for the construction of new build
ings at the University he did that
which every citizen Of Moscow wanted
him to do and which made increased
taxation necessary. When Senator
Lewis and other republicans voted for
$4,000 for wagon roads to open up
new mining districts and the governor
signed the bill the Legislature knew
the people must pay the debt, and
the people and the legislature are as
much to blame as is anyone. Now,
Mr.. Mcconnell, if you had been gov
ernor instead Of Mr.. Gooding would
you have vetoed that University appro-
priation2 Would you have turned
down the Normal school appropriations?
Would you have vetoed the other APP
preparations voted by the legislature?
No one believes you would, and none
believe you are consistent in your
present attempt to discredit the state
administration.

The advertising columns of the local
paper says an exchange, are a good
criterion to judge town by and every
business and professional man in the
town should have an advertisement in
the home paper if it is nothing greater
than a two inch card. In addition to
the benefit it does the advertiser in
bringing his business to the attention
of the public it is a slight token of his
appreciation of the benefit that we'll
conducted, enterprising newspaper is to
town. IA Further, it is a notice to
the world at large that his particular line
OF business is represented in the place
by an enterprising man and gives those
seeking locations a good opinion of the
business men represented. -Rathdrum

What would Sears, Roebuck & Co.
do if you were to ask for goods on

he were compelled to hold his fruit,
eggs, butter, beans, cordwood or hay
until Montgomery, Ward & Co. would
buy it? Don't send the pie to the

crust to your home merchant. The
average merchant will treat you the
best he can and if you will, by giving
him your cash business, treat him fair,
both the merchant and the customer
will be thereby profted.

Warden E. L. Whitney has filed his
annual report with the state prison
board. The report is Of especial in
terest, in as much as the political outs
have seen fit to jump onto Warden
Whitney, in their insane cravings for
something to kick about. The report
shows that more Improvements have
been made at the penitentiary than
were ever made before under any
previous administration. A large new
cell house has been completed, up to
the point of receiving the steel. The
wall Tor the women's ward has been
completed, the wall being Is feet high
and ID feet thick. Many other i'm
provements have been made. The
discipline of the institution has been
excellent. But one prisoner has es-
capped, and he was brought back. The
cost OF maintenance has been cut
down from $4,000 a month when War
den Whitney took charge to $1811.O4
for November, with 208 prisoners now
as against l67 when he took charge.
The members of the prison board, in
accepting the report, commented upon
the efficiency and economy of Warden
Whitney's administration. Boomers

In this issue we publish an editorial
from Mohler Times relative to Judge
Edear Steele, and what is there said
will be heartily endorsed by the people
of Latah county. What record he is
making and in what universal esteem
he is held by the people regardless Of
politics. Judge Steele is honest"
said a citizen of Troy during the pres
ent term Of the district court and no
greater compliment could be paid to
any public man. If Judge Steel would
consent to fill the position we would
favor keeping him on the bench in
this district for the rest of his natural
life. If possible we hope to see Judge
Steele promoted to the supreme bench
as fitting reward for his faithful SER
vices as a public servant.

No other investment offers such
large and certain returns for the cash
expended as does legitimate mining.
An example is that of the great Hecla
mine in the Occur d. Alenes. A few
years ago Mayor Rossi of Wallace
picked up $4,000 shares for one and
one half cents per share and after
wards disposed of this stock for over
$4,000 says the Wallace Press. To-
day the same block of stock is worth
100000.

The republican who winks at crime
and corruption for fear Of hurting the
party is doing his party and the public
great wrong. Even the republican
party is worthy Of support and conf
dence only so long as the best inter
est Of the people is conserved by that
party. No man has a right to blindly
support any political party, because all
parties are but means or agencies
whereby public good is brought about
and the party is but the means to the
end. We are republican because
time has proven that republican prin-
ciples are better for our country than
are the principles of any other party,
but this fact does not make it obliga-
tory upon any voter to support an I'M
principled, dishonest political CRATER
simply because, through trickery, that
CRATER stole a nomination for some
office. Men should think more Of
their government than they do Of their
rarty, more Of the public good that oil
party success. Stand first and last for
"a square deal for every man."

Editor Holland Of the Walla Wa

Editor Holland of the Walla Walla
Statesman has been arrested at the
instance Of an attorney at law, who
alleges that Holland attacked him edi-
torially and provoked him to wrath,
besides rejecting on him as a christian
gentleman. We don't know the
plaintiff, but the recital Of his troubles
doesn't sound just right. He can't
be much of a lawyer or he wouldn' t
have sued an editor for libel; and if
he were christian gentelemn, as he
alleges he would have turned the other
cheek or at least would have given the
soft answer which turns away wrath.
His complaint is defective in other
respects. Being LAWYER, how can he
expect to prove the piety which he
alleges when the case comes to trial?

candidates for all the county Offices on
the republican ticket next fall. He
has already approached many proml-

named for county auditor, Kendrick
lady for school superintendent, an
American Ridge farmer for assessor, a
Genesee girl for treasurer, Troy dray-

said to favor himself for state senator

far as we could learn up to going to

Most men who own gold watch,
said jeweler, think they know all
about it. They have the number
fixed in their memory in case it is
stolen. They would probably pick it
out from fifty watches with their eyes
shut. But how many men know how
it is a compass and will tell the north
from the south as accurately as it will
tell the time of day? Stanley, the ex-
plorer, did not know it until he had
CROPPED his way through the dark con-
tinent and met a Bulgarian sailor on
the coast. Every watch is compass.
If you point the hour hand at the sun
the south is half way between the
hour hand and the figure XII on the
dial. Suppose, for instance, it is 400
o'clock. Point the hand indicating
four at the sun and the XII on the
watch is exact south. If it is 800
o'clock point the indicating VIII at
the sun and the x on the dial is due
south. No man need get lost if he
carries watch. "-Ex.
