As evidence Of the fact that there
is material in the democratic party
for safe and sane candidate Gov
eraor Folk of Missouri has come out
boldly in opposition to Bryans ptan
for the government ownership Of the
railroads and proposes more stringent
government supervision. Folk in the
main indorses Roosevelt's plan and

have certain arbitrary powers. among
them the right to suspend the direc-
tors who violate the law and to .ap-i
point receiver to take charge Of the.

Client guarantee Of more responsible
management. 49, ase
This drastic measure may or may
mot be in point in working out tie de-
tail Of government supervision but
the main point is that leading DEM
ocrat gives practical Endorsement of
the administration IN its plan to SUI
pervise the railroads. 49,
It is a direct blow to Bryan's plan
for government ownership. Bryan
win either have to retract from his
advance position or give up his idea
Of leadership In the party. Folks
position. announced in the canvass in
this campaign, shows the reaction that
has already. set in against Bryan.
Democracy cannot accept his doctrine
and give any promisesto the people Of
being free from its former vagaries.
But If Roosevelt's plan of govern
ment supervision is Endorsed tire v.,ter
will find no reason for making
change in order to get the required
relief A republican congress has
passed a bill on the lines Of govern
ment supervision and republican
president win see that IL is enforced

Inter- Mountain Republican.

Inter Mountain Republican.
Up in Idaho the battle seems to be
progressing handsomely. Little by
little our friends the enemy, are los
ing. They started with spall sup
ply OF ammunition, and each day has
decreased their store. Their one rea-
son now for asking victory at the polls
Is their hatred Of a part of the citl-
zenship Of Idaho. If successful the
democrats Of that state propose to
disfranchise the Mormons That is
now the one issue before the people
Of that state.
We do not believe that the citizen
ship of Idaho is Of the sort to indorse
such demand fol- power There are
too many people in that state who are
fair and generous in their sentiments.
There are too many who believe in
justice and right. There are too many
devoted TO the future advancement of
Idaho. and they must know that they
cannot go forward credltably on
commission of state wide hate.
They have driven the Mormons out
of the democratic party. They have
said to them plainly: 1--WE will dis
franchise you if we can" In such
case there is but one thing for the
Mormons to do. and they will certain
~ not arm their enemies.
And the peace-loving, justice loving
sentiles of the state are with them.
This is the last year of Fred Dubois,
and the last time campaign of hate
will ever be waged in Idaho.

chairman OF the committee to devise
ways and means of holding the four
teenth session Of the National Irriga-
ton congress in Boise. President
CLINTON of the Boise Commercial
clsb was authorized by the directors
az that institution some two weeks
ago to name a committee of five to
acpt with Monte B. Gwinn and W. T.
Booth, chairman and secretary of th
executive committee of the congress,
in raising the necessary funds and ar
ranging for the meeting of the con-
gress.
This committee has now been de-
termined upon and will consists of the
following committeemen: John Nc
MILAN, chairman: General Joseph
Perrault, C. b. HURT, C. C. Anderson
and Leo p. Grunbaum, together with
Messrs. Gwinn and Booth.
The committee is regarded as an
exceptionally good one, and under the
leadership OF Chairman Mcmillan will
doubtless arrange matters in a man.
ner that will reflect credit upon the
citizens of Boise, and will be entirely
satisfactorily to the visitors to, the city.
1t is understood that the commit
tee is to start work upon it's task of
raising funds for the entertainment of
the convention at once. Something
in the neighborhood of $4,000 will
be required, 1t is estimated by those
in charge of the preparations for the
congress, and the committee feels that
it must go to work at once to secure
the required pledges of assistance.
