Senator Heyburn's Critics Criticised.

To the Editor of the Evening Cap
ital News.
In the Statesman of yesterda,
there appeared three different ar,i
cles respecting Senator Hepburn
to which l desire to reply, through
your columns.
On the first page OF the States.
man may be found the following
headlines: Senator Hepburn Crit.
cally ILL.," an announcement which
brought deepest anxiety and sor-
row to very many hearts.
On page 3 OF the Statesman an
other headline appears: Senator
Hepburn on the Reserves"
Then followed the full text OF
the senator's able, logical speech
before the senate upon that ques-
ton. read it with deepest inter-
est; and viewing Senator Hepburn
from any and every possible stand
point-whether as an able lawyer,
or a loyal American, or a senator
who must of necessity be true to
the interests of the state he repre-
sents, or as a Republican who
cherishes the honor and integrity
OF the great party he has loved and
honored these many years, and
that has honored him by confer
ring upon him the dignity and the
title of United States senator, or
viewing him from any and from
every other standpoint, the speech
was forcible .utterance upon
highly important question, express
ed in manly, dignified, heightened
manner by one of the ablest law
yers and one of the purest patriots
that ever graced the senate by his
presence.
On page 4 of the Statesman the
first and leading editorial was head
ed, "Heyburn's Speech" and in
the first paragraph may be found
the following malicious, untruth-
ful, unfair and unidentified state
ment.
And every one pursuing it will
feel Inundated that such an ex.
hibition of pettifogoing should
have been given by a senator from
this state"
Is there layman or lawyer, or
any party, of sufficient intelligence
to comprehend the meaning of the
word "pettifoggoing," who will
stand up and assert that Senator
Hepburn ever stopped to pettifog-
ging, even 10 a trial at law, and
much less that his splendid, manly
utterances before the senate could
be Characterized by such an untruth-
full, low-down, undignified epihet
as the editor of the Statesman so
gibly and naturally INDUCES in3
In the next paragraph of the edi-
torial the following occurred:
"The address has one disting.
uishing Observation-Disclosures lack
of candor."
A ''lack of candol?" Wherin
can there be found in that address
one single suggestion of prejudice,
unfairness, insincerity or lack of alb
solute frankness?
Who ever truthfully charged w.
B. Hepburn with being anything
but fair fighter. a courageous
opponent, just, manly and gener-
Gus antagonist in all of his legal
and political battlesl
There are thousands of Republi-
licans and other loyal friends in Ida
no who Indignantly resent such
criticisms, especially at an hour
like this, swhen his very life is
hanging in the balance.
We hear a great deal about
square deal" and we would that
1t might have wider and more
universal application in this meek
of the woods"
