could be but one sentiment when
the situation was analysed, and,
irrespective of who might be gov
ernor under these conditions, the
resolution would become fixed
everywhere that he must be given
full and unf1inching support.
There has never been an hour
since this situation developed when
the Republican party could afford
to turn its back upon the governor
or when the people of the state
could afford to repudiate him.
There has never been an hour
since the situation arose when any
man could find sufficient ground to
Justify him in seeking to defeat
the denomination of the governor,
in his own interest or any other
interest whatsoever.
Then, look at the position in
which a man must place himself if
he should become a candidate il
opposition to the denomination of
the governor under such conditions
In the very nature OF things
he would in effect become candi.
date for the support of the elements
of discomfort, disorder and de-
struction. These will all be aligned
against the governor in his candi-
dacy for denomination. and they
will support any man who unwisely
permit his name to be used.
The other day the Republicans
of the city of Denver passed a reso-
luton indorsing the action of the
governor OF THIS state In dlscharg
his duty under the law. Let the
Republican party Of Idaho show
those people that we are worthy Of
their good will; let US have no hand
raised here, among those who are
looked upon asnatural leaders in the
cause of good government, to over
throw the executive head Of ourstate
at such a time as this and thereby
give courage and hope to all who
would undermine and defy our

Let Us Hope Not.

1t has been rumored for some
time that Edgar Wilson was acandi-
date for the nomination of COVER
nor. There has been no author
itative public announcement that
he is a candidate, and his best
friends and the community in
general will sincerely hope he will
not permit himself to be led into
such mistake.
Let us hope that, whatever may
have been in Mr.. Wilson's. mind i,
he will reconsider any idea he may
have had of entering into contest
against the denomination of Gov.
ernor Gooding, and join forces
with those who realize that this is
the paramount duty of good citi-
zens to support the governor and
see that he is renominated and re.
elected.
We are confronting situation
which rises above all personal con-
siderations and all ordinary con-
siderstions of political character.
While it is not necessary to 60 in
to that situation in detail at this
time, it is proper to say it is
such as calls upon every member
of the Republican party who is
true to the best interests of the
state to align himself in unquali-
fed support Of the governor.
AS the official head of the com.
monwealth, Governor flooding has
been called upon, in faithful dis
charge of his duty, to enter upon a
case that is of greater Importance
to the fundamental interests of all
classes of citizens than any other
that has ever been known in the
west. He is being bitterly assailed
in all parts of the country by the
forces of disorder, and in our own
state there are numbers who Join
in the astounding demand that
men accused of great crime shall
not be prosecuted under our laws
in the orderly manner of our courts.
The attack is made upon the
governor, upon the courts and upon
all whose duty it is to see that
evenhanded justice is done; and in
such an hour, when such momen.
tous issue is in the balance, it is
impossible to see how anyone who
has the best interests of the state
at heart can fail to put himself
and his influence squarely back of
the governor.
There is no other safe course for
anyone to pursue; no considera-
ton whatever can properly be per-
mitted to interfere with this great
.ovsrshadowing duty of the hour.
If Mr.. Wilson were governor to
vday, standing in exactly the
same relation to this great case
that is occupied by Governor Good.
ing, the people of the state would
feel the same way toward his re-
nomination and reelection. There

Public Py1uHno.

:. Statesman:
:. Through the initiative of the
:. Weiser World, steps have been
:: taken to test the law which re-
+. quires public officials to have
their printing done In this
state. The step taken by the
World is of interest to the
printing establishments in
every county in the state. It
has often been claimed that
certain kinds of printing
could not be done in the state.
The work can be done in the
state, but there is another fea-
ture of the subject to which the
Statesman wishes to call atten-
tion.
This point is that the public
: officials in a great many coun-
ties send work out of the state
which could be done right in
their home towns. While
claiming the law cannot be fol-
lowed because, as alleged,
there is some work that can
not be done in the state, many
such officials hand out to the
representatives of foreign
printing houses a large amount
of work which could be done
by the printer of the county
seat town.
Everybody familiar with the
business knows why this is.
While the same influence does
not operate in every instance,
it does in a great many. The
order begins with the taking
down of a list of things which
it is claimed cannot be secured
in the state, and then most
everything else that can be
used about the office is thrown
In because it is so advantage
Gus to swell the order to as
great proportions as possible.
If the courts uphold the law,
there will be none of this. The
printing the county needs
will be secured in the state and
that portion which can be per-
formed by the local office will
be done right at home.

ACT OF A MAD WOMAN.
Kills Her Husband And Daughter Ard
Wounds Two Other Children.

Piggott, Aug. pa double,
perhaps a quadruple, tragedy,
which occurred four miles north
of here, shocked this community
when the facts became known
this morning.
Mrs. Nellie Polsgrove killed
her husband, Frank, and her A.
year.old daughter, then set fire
to the house, and their bodies
were incinerated, only dust and
a few charred bones remaining.
In addition she attacked her two
older children, Hubbard, a boy
aged 13, and Lexie; a girl of 10.
Both will probably die, She ap-
parently used an axe on her vic
TINS, judging from the character
of the wounds on the two found
alive.
G. W. Garrett and his son.
Walter, living near by, first dis.
covered the flames and ran with
all speed to render aid, supposing
the house had accidentally caught
fire. The woman was in the ward
watching the flames. She at
once stated that she had killed
her husband and baby, and that
the bodies were in the burning
house. She then begged the
men to kill her. At that time
she said nothing about the other
two children.
Sudden homicidial mania is the
only explanation of the affair.
Mrs. Polsgrovo has shown
signs of insanity for several
years, but was not regarded as
dangerous. She has been placed
in confinement.

belief with many that the poll tax
amendment will be sustained if
brought before that body. 1t has
been in force for 13 years; its
benefits have been enjoyed by the
people. 1t has not only added
about 100000 annually to our
school fund, but has raised our
elections above the control and
domination Of the negroes in
many localities of the State.
During all this time the courts
have been open and no steps
have been taken up to this good
hour to test its validity, Then
why not enforce it and let those
who oppose it go into the courts,
as the law directs, and test the
question? And when they do,
we will accept the decision OF the

that he would be unable to hire

practically all he has, and he al
