had the candor, the courage and the
honesty to have stood with Senator
Dubois. II no issue of that kind was
in evidence three months ago, when
did 1t develop? We do not believe
that there is Mormon issue. We
believe that any Mormon member OF
the legislature, who has the ability
and decency, which he should have,
has a perfect right to aspire to the
Speakership. We believe that any
gentle member of the legislature, is
justified in supporting such Nor
mon, If he sees ft The Republic
cans cannot afford to fight man
solely because he is Mormon.
Were the Republicans honest during
the Campaign or were they simply
playing politics to get the Mormon
vote? That Is a serious question,
and Republicans must prepare to ad-
NIT that they have deceived the peo-
pie. or else stand out firm in the be-
lief that there is no Mormon ques-
ton in Idaho.

THE MAGIC CITY.

Twin Falls Is said to be a beauti-
full little city. No doubt it Is. 1t
has mighty fine paper published
there called the Twin Falls News.
The News is a great admirer of Twin
the praises of the whole surrounding
country. 1t praises its soil; 1t ap-
plauds Its climate; it glorifies in its
flora; and eulogizes its fauna. A
Mindoka blizzard is a gentle zepher
to the News; the ordoriferous sage
brush Is the rue of the Garden of
Eden, while the silent tick Is the
bird Of Paradise. The News is to
be congratulated. 1t takes a mighty
effort and an elastic Imagination to
see the sermon in a lava rock, or
feel the music in a lizards song.
But 1t Is a great country and Twin
Falls is fine city. They both have
magic powers. They must have, else
how could the News be so bewitched.
OF late the News has become so en-
thusiastic over Its town that it is TAX
ing without due credit, the copywrit-
ed and time honored title of Caldwell.
Caldwell is "The Magic City" 1t
has always been so recognized and
no upstart on the Twin Falls tract
is to be permitted to steal our fair
name. Caldwell was The Magic City
when Twin Falls was yet unborn.
Caldwell was beautiful, progressive,
enterprising and magical when Twin

But after all, can the people afford
to turn this immense public utility
over to the management of a cor
poration? We do not believe that
the popular mind could be brought
to an approval of such a transfer.
1t Is not alone dollars and cents
that govern in this or any like case,
but the convenience and satisfaction
of the public, and the content that
the people have in the knowledge
that they are themselves in control
of this great service. 1t is certain,
also, that complaints of bad service
would be plenty, and there would
be no way in which the public or
those aggrieved could force attention
to corporation, nor the redress of
proved grievances.
The fact that the people now have
ways of forcing attention to their
complaints, which they could not
have as against a corporation, and
the satisfaction which the people
have in the control of this their own
especial feature of Governmental ac-
tivity, together with the further
point that the Government can and
does extend its postal facilities into
new and non-paying routes, simply
to assure mail facilities to Ameri-
cans in remote and distant regions,
as in Alaska and in the mountain
districts of our home country, as a
| corporation would not be likely to
do, will be decisive against the pro-
posed change.-Salt Lake Tribune.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

There is or there Is not a Mormon
question In Idaho. During the past
campaign the Republicans were very
emphatic in stating that there was no
Mormon question In this State If
thata were true then ii must be
true now. If there be no Mormon
question. why are Republican news
papers agitating themselves about the
possibility of Mormon becoming
Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives in our State Legislature? We
understand that four men are men,
toned in connection with the Speak
ership. These men are Hon. j.
Frank Hunt, who served in that ca
pacity during the past two terms,
and as far as we know gave eminent
satisfaction. He Is Mormon. The
second is Hon. Robert McCracken, of
Bingham County. a young man well
known and highly esteemed. We do
not know whether he is a Mormon or
not, but he comes from Mormon
section. The third is Hon. Willard
White, of Ada County Mr.. White Is
capable and experienced man. He
would preside with grace. dignity and
fairness. The fourth is Hon. A. H.
Corners, of Shoshone County. We
know little of Mr.. Corners. How
ever, he has strong backing and roy
al support in the north. The men,
who are urging his claims are a suf-
ficient guarantee of his ability and
honesty. 1t Is not within the prov
ince of The Tribune to espouse the
cause of any one of these four men
We do think that Republicans are en-
gaging in the highest political folly
In opposing a man because he is a
Mormon. BY thus doing, they are
simply pouring water ON Senator
Dubois wheel.
II those papers knew of Mormon
issue during the campaign, that was
of such q magnitude. that 1t would
bar a respectable Mormon from any
position of honor. trust or emolu-
ment, within the gift of the people
of Idaho, that issue was of supreme
importance and they should have

NO CHANGE OF CONTROL.

A corporation with a capital of
fifty million dollars has offered to
take over the Government postal SER
vice, provide for the pyament of a
fair rental to the Government for all
space occupied in Government build
ings, which would be clear gain to
the Government, since the postoffice
is not charged with rent in public
buildings under the present system
and that item plays no part in the
deficits; make reduction in the
rates on first-class matter to l cent
an ounce and on second-class matter,
magazines and newspapers, to one
half cent pound, the Government to
pay for all its mail now franked: to
provide for the extension of the ru-
raj delivery service and the install
lation of a rural postal express to
deliver packages as well as mail to
farmers; the Government to retain
regulative control through a postal
commission somewhat similar in pow
ers to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission; and finally, the Government
to receive all profits over Z per cent.
on the capital invested.
Under this proposition, provided 1t
were satisfactorily guaranteed, the
Government would financially be
much better off than 1t is now. The
deficit in the postal revenues for the
year ending June 80, 1906, was $12,-
673,294.39; and some years the de-
felt has been much greater than
even that immense sum. 1t would
also, we believe, insure much
prompter and better service; for,
drones. incompetents, persons indif-
ferent to the public interests, would
not long remain In the postal service
were it run as private or corpo-
rate enterprise, and in order to make
money. The Government would al
so, no doubt, receive considerable
sums from the net receipts above
the seven per cent. interest on the
