A PLAIN DUTY

Next Monday the republicans oil
Latah county will hold their primaries
for the purpose Of selecting delegates
to the county convention; the county
convention will nominate not only
county official; but select dele
gates TO the state convention who will
nominate state officials. This is not
all. Those whom you send as dele
gates to the county convention will
name the men who will go to the
state capital, and there represent this
county in the capacity of lawmakers.
Then is the primary Of next Monday
OF no importance to your If not, then
remain at home and permit your neigh
Dor to run things to suit himself.
After all is over and things are not
running to suit you, you may go out
behind the old barn and there kick
yourself for you will deserve it. You
may then discover that after all you
have some interest in politics. You
will probably discover that all good
citizens have and that their plain duty
is to exercise such rights.

RECORD IS GOOD.

It makes no difference as to who
may be nominated by the republicans
as candidates for the various county
offices, the fact remains that the
affairs Of this county have been ex-
ceptionally we'll managed during the
past few years and that due credit
must be given those officials now serv-
ing the people. Most OF them are
serving their second term and the
work is in such condition that not
even the democrats can find sufficient
material for campaign thunder. The
republican party ought to be proud of
this record and every republican in
the county ought to be proud of the
fact that after being trusted with the
county business for four years no re-
publican need apologize for the official
acts of his party. The record is so
clean that victory this fall is almost
certain-so certain that the democrats
admit that their chances for success are
extremely remote.

RAMsTEDT GETS PRAISE.

Commenting upon what the Troy
News said recently regarding Auditor
Ramstedt, the Genesee News adds:
Auditor Ramstedt is being deserv-
eddy complimented for his work in
every part Of the county. He is at all
times faithful to his duties and compe-
tent beyond a question. The claims
Of w. D. Smith, the misfit editor Of
the defunct Moscow Mirror, and a few
other like statesmen" that the audi
tors Office is being extravagantly con-
Quoted, is pure rot, circulated only as
a matter of spite. 1t might be of
interest to the average taxpayer to
know that during the quarter past the
auditors Office has been self sustain
ing through recording fees. 1t ought
to be worth something for taxpayers to
know that Mr.. Ramstedt's books, for
accuracy and neatness, are placed first
over all the county auditors of the
state by the travelling state auditor.

For the last time before the precinct
primaries in this county the News
urges the republicans to make no mis-
take on next Monday. Today there is
every prospect Of harmony and good
fellowship among those who for several
years have opposed each other and
endangered the success Of repulicanism
in this state. Then let no mistake be
made. Let no personal enmity, no
community quarrel, no ancient Crude
prompt any Of US to do that which can
but create new bitterness and tear
open wounds now healed. Republi-
cans can afford to be magnanimous.
We can afford to forgive and forget.
Let US do it.

THE MCCONNELL CASE.

c. S. Mcconnell, the deposed
register of the state board of land
commissioners, contributes another
Lawsonian chapter to his continued
story in the Boise Capital News, pur-
porting to expose graft in the land
board" Differing from the success of
Lawson, however. the new political
editor of the News fails 10 deliver the
goods promised; he most emphatically
does not place his finger on certain
spot and say: Herein the board
erred" or AT this point the board
acted dishonesty" or See, here the
governor acted against the interests of
the state Instead he strikes an
attitude before the people and says:
Now, watch me send up this sky
rocket. It's going to be a daisy"

DEBS RAVES AGAIN.

Eugene V. Debs is out with another
appeal in the Appeal to Prejudice, in
which he deliberately lies. He
assumes that the men charged with
murder are innocent and must not be
brought to trial. He appeals to his
fanatical followers to rescue their
brethren and by implication and covert
threat says that Governor Cooling
ought to be assassinated. He wants
this case made an issue in the coming
campaign and alleges that if the
Socialists win out the martyrs" will be
turned loose. This rot will not win
many votes for the Socialist cause in
Latah county. 1t will, however, make
a lot of votes for Frank R. Gooding, or
any other man, democrat or republican,
who stands for the fair and impartial
enforcement CT law, regardless of
whether the accused be a leader of
labor or multi-millionaire.

UP TO THE SOCIALISTS.

On the 21st of this month the
Socialists of Latah county will hold a
convention at Moscow for the purpose
Of putting in the field full county
ticket. At this meeting resolutions
will be passed. The News appeals to
the Socialists Of this county to use
their good sense and thereby give no
color to the assertion that Socialism and
Anarchy are one and the same. There
may be excuse for rank statements as
to conditions in Idaho relative to the
trial of the accused assassinators of ex-
Governor Steunenberg, among men of
other states, but not so here. Every
citizen Of Latah county knows the truth
and the Socialists of this county cannot
excuse radical utterances and rank
misstatements with the plea that they
did not know. 1t remains for the
Socialists themselves to say whether
they believe in the enforcement of law
or stand for disorder and crime.

The News is of the opinion that
politics, or the running of county,
state and national government, is OF so
much importance that the matter
should be considered during sos days
every year. The trouble with too
many voters is that they turn things
over to the politicians 364 days in the
year and sometimes add the remaining
day for good measure. Eternal
vigilence is the price OF liberty" as
well as the price of good, clean, decent
government. 1t is a poor citizen who
thinks he has discharged his full duty
to his state when he goes to the polls
and just votes. Good citizenship
requires more than that

THEY HURT THE STATE.

Those who give false reports regard
ing Idaho or any county in Idaho,
injure the whole state. If Idaho is a
hot bed of immortality; if her people
wink at crime and immortality and
shame; if the home is a brothel and
womanhood held in no respect, who
will desire to settle within the state and
there rear children? And what will
result from the crusade made by a
United States senator who charges all
manner of crime against this common
wealth. What will eastern people
think if the citizenship of Idaho
tolerates adultery, poligamy and kind
red crimes?
Again, what is to be the result of the
political shyster who publishes to the
world that taxes are intolerably high,
and cites as evidence the alleged fact

DAMN THE MORMONS.n

Damn the Mormons," is the burn
ing issue Of the day according to
Senator Dubois, who would Just as
readily damn the republicans" if he
could gain support for Dubois by so
doing. The News is utterly opposed
to polgomy and so is every other
decent voter OF Idaho. But we are
not ready to damn the Mormons"
any more than we are ready to damn
the Methodists OF Baptists or Catholics
or any other denomination. We
believe in religious liberty and any
crusade against particular sect is
wrong and unjust. The trouble with
Dubois is that he should have been
born thousand years ago when the
thumb screw, the rack, the iron boots
and the inquisition were used to
convince men that certain opinions
were wrong. He should have lived in
the days when they burned heretics
and tortured witches, and before it was
written with human blood that man
shall worship God according to the
dictates Of his own conscience" The
Idaho senator would amend this to
read: All Mormons shall worship God
according to the dictates of Fred T.
Dubois. And he would, if he could,
make fealty to Fred T. Dubois the test
OF any mans right to vote in this state.
