DID IT BEFORE.

1t is alleged that men occupying
responsible positions at the head of the
Western Federation of Miners would
not be guilty OF a crime such as is
charged against Messrs. Meyer, Petit
bone and Haywood. The News does
not wish to prejudice the public in this
case but since so much is being said
about the matter we would like to call
attention to the fact that not long ago
one Edward Boyce, then president of
the Western Federation OF Miners, did,
while acting as president, and filing
the same position as does Mr.. Meyer,
participate in and help plan, the riot
that resulted in the destruction of the
Bunker Hill concentrator and the
murder of two men. And we would
further mention the fact that then, as
now, the Appeal to Reason and its
followers, howled because the state and
government arrested the rioters and
attempted to punish them. Governor
Steunenberg was threatened and abused
and the threat made, just as it is now
made, that the government would be
destroyed. If the time has come, or
ever does come, when Idaho is too
weak or too cowardly to enforce her
laws and protect life and property; if
the time has come or ever does come
when the state dare not even arrest
men supposed to be guilty of the
assassination of a citizen of this state,
then the state is not worth saving and
for one we are willing to move out and
in the place of the Stars and Stripes
see anarchy raise over the state
capitol the red flag of sedition.

LOOKING FOR SUCKERS.

A fellow by the name of Hermon F.
Titus has started paper called THE
Socialist" down at Caldwell, Idaho.
1t is run on about the same principles
as is the Appeal to Reason, and is
fully as full of sedition and anarchy.
Mr.. Titus is appealing to the socialists
and insisting that they pull off their
coats and help him get several
thousand paid-in-advance subscribers.
And as is the case with Wayland, Mr..
Titus has the nerve to ask and insist
that Socialists work for him for the fun
OF the thing. The Troy News would
like to work the same graft. We
would like to get three or four thousand
republicans to donate their time for our
benefit. And if we can find that many
suckers who are fool enough to work
free while we wax rich we will do the
Wayland act too and pat them on the
back while they sweat and we reap the
reward.

THEY ARE ANARCHISTS.

Just as long as the Socialists of this
and other counties insist on standing
for and encouraging anarchy and
treason, and subscribe to a platform
that is deliberate and premeditated
lie, defying all law, liberty and human
right, just so long will it be entirely
proper to charge them with anarchy,
unpleasant as it may be. When men,
citizens of this county and state, will
meet in convention and there put their
approval upon the seditious utterances
Of Eugene V. Debs, and write a plat
form such as the Latah county social
lists did write, they are not one whit

Moscow is not in position to ask
the taxpayers of this county TO entrust
them with the expenditure of ninety
thousand dollars so long as the citizens
Of that town have not the manhood and
courage to compel those who grated
on the eighty thousand dollar sewer
system to make good to the taxpayers
OF the county seat town. There is no
evidence that it would be safe to
entrust Moscow with any portion of the
amount asked.

The republican state convention has
given the voters Of Idaho ticket that
ought to get the loyal support Of
every republican in the state. Let the
differences over the senatorial fight be
forgotten for the contest has been
open, fair, and honorable. The ticket
must now be elected. 1t must be
elected not only because it is a good
ticket, but especially because Of
the greater fact that the honor and in
tegrity Of the state is to be made an
issue, with Governor Gooding and Mr..
Borah on one side, and socialism and
anarchy united in opposition. 1t is
said the opposition will have million
dollars to spend for the defeat of the
republican ticket. If the republicans
do their duty at this time it will avail
the forces of treason, assassination and
destruction nothing. 1t is not Mr..
Borah's or Mr.. Gooding's fight, but
our fight. Let US do our duty.

WHY NOT WAIT2

1t seems to the News that it is very
unjust to pass judgment on any man
before the evidence is heard and
weighed. In saying this we are not
attempting to defend anyone. But we
are in favor of according to men charg-
ed with crime at least a square deal.
Until the facts are all in and every bit
of testimony carefully weighed it is
wrong to goabout publicly condemning
the accused and prejudicing the minds
of the public. We refer particularly to
the case of DR.. Gritman of Moscow.
Whether or not he is guilty we will not
pretend to say. But we do not
hesitate to insist that he is entitled to
the benefit of every doubt until he is,
beyond any reasonable question, proven
guilty. At this time no one knows
that he is guilty of the crime alleged.
Suppose he is innocent? The tongue
of scandal will have done its best to
destroy his reputation as an honorable
physician and to ruin a business made
valuable by years of close application
to business. And if he is innocent
what can those who have wronged him
by slandering him 10 do that will ever
make their mistake right? Why not
waltz Why not, in case Of this kind,
remember the Golden Rule, and
practice il?

The taxpayers had better first paw
for the present court house before they
attempt to run in debt for a new one
that is to cost five times as much as the
old one. We are not in favor of plac-
ing a mortage upon the backs of the
children yet to be of this county, and
for no better reason than the fact that
the expenditure would increase the
value of Moscow town lots.

The worst blow that could be struck
at real estate values of this county
would be any increase in the present
exhorbitant tax rates. That a new
court house would be a nice thing
for Moscow-none will deny, but the
time is not yet ripe for such a move
ment. A few years hence will suit the
people who are expected to pay the
bill, and at that time it may be
considered advisable to select location
more centrally located than the present
one.

An exchange rises to remark that
home merchants and dealers might put
a stop to the mail order business by
advertising their own goods. Every
dollar spent for advertising with the
home paper is just that much con-
tributed to the cause of home trading.
When the mail-order house wants the
farmers trade they advertise their
merchandise and then spend lot of
money placing that advertising matter
In the farmers hand. If home mer-
chants expect to keep their home trade
at home let them be wise to their own
interests as is the mail-order merchant.

The republican party has declared
for equal taxation. That is good.
Now it is up to the members of this
party to show that they mean business
and this can be done by changing the
present law whereby the big mining
corporations are practically exempt
from anything like fair tax. Anything
short of square deal will not be ac-
cepted by the people and the republi-
can party will find that Idaho tax
payers will hold them responsible and
expect immediate relief. The present
law is a disgrace and an outrage, even
though it was placed upon our statute
books by republican legislature.
