THREATENING letters from anony-
nous writer's to Senator Hepburn are
beginning to attract attention since
threats in similar letters to the late
Ex-Governor Steunenberg were car
ried out. These letters and the as
sassination at which Idaho stands
aghast denote the presence of an
archist criminals from which no
prominent citizen is safe who has had
duties to perform in the execution Of
the laws and fearlessly performed
them. Frank Steunenberg was a
friend of labor and an advocate of
law ana order, and his assassination
IS the result OF the weak minded ven-
gean:e Of the anarchist-the enemy
Of law and order. Steunenberg is
Idaho's first martyr and it is hoped
he will also be the last.

In it's last isst,e the wild rantinp

In its last issue the wild rantings
Of the Northern Idaho News are
more virulent than ever. With reck-
less abandon the News editor takes
mp the Northern Pacific tax case and
distorts and niisrepresents fact after
fact. 1t is impossible that he has
been mislead in this matter The
facts were certainly before him. He
had ample opportunity to ascertain
the truth. that the N. =. railway
company had paid its taxes with 10
per cent penalty, that the supreme
court had ruled that segregated
portion of railroad cannot be sold
for taxes; that therefore the sale of
the N. p. right of way by Kootenai
county was Invalid and therefore 10
per cent could not he collected, and
that there is no law under which an
extra penalty Of per cent could be
collected; he knows that Kootenal
county has striven zealously for all
these and has gotten all that 1t could
get under the law; what more can be
expected? Yet he wilfully and NAL
ignantly distorts all these facts and
makes desperate effort to show by
false means that the county commits
sioners have compromised at every
turn, when he knows that the OppO-
site is true. How long will the News
editor continue thus to insult the in
telligence of his readers?
