Criminal libel suits against Idaho

Criminal libel suits against Idaho
newspaper men are getting to be
quite common, r. S. Sheridan, as
editor and business manager of the
Boise Capital News, being the last
one of the scrlbes to have such a
charge preferred against him. The
plaintiff is Governor Frank X.
Gooding, who alleges in his com.
plant that on the 1sth day of last
July, there was published in the
CAPITAL News an article which wat
"a malicious defamation of ane
concerning the said F. r. Goodine
and that said article did then ane
there tend to impeach the honesty
integrity and reputation Of thu
nlaintiff." This makes four Idab'

Communicated.
The Bonding Bill Why People
Should Take Interest.

Mr.. Editor. Dear Sir There is a
bill before the Legislature which
affects the most vital interests of the
citizens OF Annapolis and Anne Arun-
del county, and as far as l can learn
no one seems to take the slightest in
terest in it's passage. This bill was
drafted by the Board of County Com
missioners with the aid of an expert
and it is an admirable one. 1t pro-
vides for the issuing of bonds to the
amount of $3.50. 600, which is sufficient
to place the county up)n a cash basis,
and at the same time providing for all
necessary bridges and repairs includ-
ing new bridge across Spa creek to
Eastport Also, it will reduce the
tax rate TO 80 per hundred and FIVE
cents. every five years thereafter Is
this not good business There is only
one suggestion or amendment that can
be offered, and that is to appoint a
bond commission of seven good men,
one from each district, to see that the
sinkinhg fund is kept intact.
ssNow, ,eMr. Editor, Notwithstanding
the fact that this bill does all the
citizens aud taxpayers have been
clamoring for for years. there has
been no effort upon their part in be-
half of the bill. | cannot understand
such lethargy. What is the matter
with our people ? Has a Rip Van
Wrinkle cloak been thrown over them ?
Why the townclock seems to be in.
oculated with the same disease
Where is the Taxpayers Association ?
4 few months ago with a great blare
of trumpets they organized for the
sole purpose of devising some means
bv which the taxes of our city aud
county could be reduced aud as far as
can learn, Mr.. Editor. they Eand its
president are fast asleep. Let Us throw
off this Rip Van Winkle cloak and
90 before our Senator and Delegates
aud demand the passage of this bill.
Don't let ourselves become stagnaut.
for when man becomes stagnant, he,
like q pool of water. becomes cor.
rupted. The issuing of these bonds
of $3.50, 600 aud the present bonded in
debtedness of this county will be only
1858, 600, a very small percentage CON-
pared with other counties of the State.
and, taking in consideration the tax
able basis of cur county, which is
over SI3, 600, 600, l sincerely hope that

THE COAL SITUATION.
Conference At indianapolis Prom
ises To Be Well Attended

indianapolis. Ind, March 10 The
bituminous coal operators belonging
to the Interstate Operators Associa.
tion are assembled here in large num-
bers and there is every reason TO be.
lieve that the conference which will
be held here this afternoon will be
we'll attended The conference met
in an informal manner and after
transacting some preliminary business
this morning took a recess till this
afternoon, when the first business
session was held.
Mr.. Francis l.. Robbins, who is the
principal mover of the conference.
called the conference at the sugges.
tion of President Roosevelt for the
purpose of giving the wage propoSi-
tion 10 the miners a thorough recon
sideration. 1t is hoped that by modi-
flying the position of TIE operators in
the bituminous belt. which includes
the Western Pennsylvania, Ohio. In
diana and Illinois, strike of the
mine workers in the bitumious mines
will be averted. 1t is understood that
an effort will be made TO vote the
sentiment of the operators on the ton
mage basis, instead by individual
votes
This would wrest the voting power
from the rebellious independent mine
operators. who have been holding out
against higher wages, while the large
producers who are in the minority,
favor concessions on the wage propo.
sition There is every reason TO be-
lieve that the independent operators
will strenuously oppose any attempt
TO base the vote of the conference on
the tonnage of the members re epresent-
ed and a lively war is expected. If
the Robbins faction. consisting of the
large operators. should win the day, a
conference with the miners will be
held either tonight or tomorrow, to
finally settle the agreement between
the miners aud operators for the year
beginning April l. With this matter
out of the way, the way would be
clear to a revision of the negotiations
between the anthracite operators and
M ineIs.
