the removal OF restraint called law.
And he who demands the release,
without trial, OF the men who may
have, directly or indirectly assassinated
Ex-Governor Steunenberg, is an anar-
chist. We have met many socialists
but with two exceptions they have de-
manded the release OF the accused
without trial. But not one Of them
has yet heard the evidence, and can
not know whether the accused are in
nocent or guilty. All the socialists
know is what they have read m the
Appeal to Treason, published away of
in Kansas. That paper says Ex-Gov-
ernor Steunenberg assassinated himself
and the poor deluded chumps accept
the theory as gospel truth, and
threaten to release the accused with
force. They demand the release Of
men, who, for all the socialists know,
may be guilty, and, if guilty, should
be hanged.
Mr.. Socialist, if these men are
guilty would you turn them loose?
And until they are tried how on earth
can you or any other living man know
whether OF not they are Innocent
The News holds no prejudice against
the accused men. We do not pretend
to know whether or not they are guilty.
But we would not demand their re-
lease before fair trial is had and all the
evidence weighed. We would want
the evidence before we would be salts
fed. But this does not suit the social
lists. By some strange power divinely
strange these fellows who read the APP
peal and advocate socialism say they
know" the accused are innocent.
Do they know? Could they possibly
know7 No sir, and when they says
they do they are furnishing some
strong evidence that socialists are not
just the kind of citizens who could be
entrusted with our lives and our prop
erty. They are bearing testimony
that socialism is just plain, unadulter-
ated anarchy and few will relish the
idea of turning the government over to
their keeping.

HAS MADE A MISTAKE.

If c. J. Munson thinks The Troy
News is not free to say just what it
feels it ought to say the gentleman is
about the worst deceived man in the
entire state. When he went about
Moscow last week telling the story
of how The News had been repudiated
by the citizens OF Troy he deliberately
falsifed. The whole trouble lies in the
fact that our friend Munson has an en-
tirely too exalted an idea OF himself.
And even after being snubbed and
literally kicked out of the republican
county convention, and every candi-
date he even suggested, either before
or during the convention, defeated, he
goes on 'butting it, until he has be-
come a stencil in the nostrils of every
republican of consequence in the coun-
ty. Munson had no more to do with
the naming OF the republican county
ticket than did the queen OF the Can
nables and yet so detestable has he
grown, so odeous his very name, that
had he been permitted to participate
in or to even suggest a candidate,
defeat were certain. Nor is there any
evidence that Mr.. Munson is respon-
sible for single county nominee. If
this is not true let the Moscow Journal
produce evidence to the contrary. 1t
is alleged by Col. Shaver that Munson
is boss" and that the republican
nominees owe their nomination to
Munson. The News brands the
charge as false. If The News is
mistaken will the Moscow Journal print
few facts to show it? You can't do
it, Mr.. Shaver.

The independent movement in Latah
county on the part of disgruntled re-
publicans is in reality an effort of
would-be and has-been bosses to un-
horse the bosses in power and elevate
themselves by their boot straps into the
saddle. If they are sufficient in num-
Der they may succeed in disrupting the
party, but even then will have accom-
phshed nothing for themselves. The
man who can't be republican or dem
ocrat after his particular faction has
gone down to defeat is of little use TO
either party, and will accomplish but
little towards purifying politics. Per-
slstent work for pure politics, in your
own party, will accomplish Infinitely
more than periodical boiling. The
man who loads bolt is nothing more

The Independents aliege, among
other grievances, that the republican
party is too dishonest or suit men OF
such character as Frank Johnson, w.
D. Smith, Henry Shaver, Dad" Bar
ton, and great many more of equal
prominence. These gentlemen are
dissatisfied, too because of alleged I'M
just taxation. But does anyone famil-
lar with the record of these reformers
desire a change that will place them OF
men like them in control, either Of the
republican party or the county funds?
Yet a vote for the Citizens ticket
means this very thing.

The greatest need OF Idaho today
is tax reform. We may vail at the
assessor and abuse the county auditor
but until we change the whole tax sys-
tenn no relief will come. The most
fragrant abuses, the most unjust in
CAPABILITIES are enjoyed under the net
output law and this law must be
changed. But, do you imagine you
can do this by electing a Shoshone
county mine owner to the state senate?
You did this once and Francis Jenkins
went as the representative of Latah
county and you, Mr.. Taxpayer of
Latah county, were betrayed, your in
terests ignored, your rights abused.
And today you are taxed more than
you ought to be simply because the
law practically exempts Jerome J. Day
and every other millionaire mine owner
in the state. We do not blame the
mine owners but we will blame the
voters if they elect the mine owners
and send one of them to represent
Latah county in the state senate. Let
no mistake be made. This county must
not send Jerome ]. Day to the senate.
The fact that he is rich is no assurance
that he will serve this county even
creditably. Some qualification besides
big bank account ought to be de-
manded OF public officials.

WHY DON'T 1T BOOST 2

II you see it in the Moscow Journal
its ten TO one shot it's lie. The
News can prove this if proof is neces-
sary. This sheet has sunk to the
level where the most insignificant
rumor is transformed and given to the
public as legitimate news. Stuff that
would hardly be worthy the time oil
old grandmothers is given scare head
and considered worthy place on the
front page. No scandal is too vile, nc
gossip too frivilous, no SANDER too SLAM
derous, no lie too contemplate and
vicious to be denied a place, but is
welcomed in the Journal. The fact
that the rot hurts Moscow and is giving
that town a bad reputation is not suffi-
cient to bring the Journal to its senses.
But it ought to cause the citizens OIL
that town to think. Some trouble has
arisen in the Moscow schools; but has
the Journal made an effort to allay il
OF to create harmony? Not once. But
it has opened its columns to everyone
whom it could induce to use them, and
like Nero, has fiddled while the work
OF destruction goes on and Moscow S
splendid public schools groan under a
stencil that is sickening. And who
suffers? Moscow, for what parent
would choose a school of discord,
hatred and ascension as proper place
to educate the children
According to the Journal Latah is
in the hands of thieves, while the
record shows it to be the best governed
county in the state. The Journal cries
out about high taxes, yet Latah county
has the lowest tax rate it ever had and
the lowest in the state. Instead Of
using these facts as something to be
proud OF and as evidence that Latah
is the best county in the state and the
most desirable place for the homeseek-
er who has come West or who contem-
plates coming to Idaho, Moscow has
one daily and weekly paper that
does nothing but howl calamity, SOW
discord and give Moscow in particular
and Latah county in general a black
eye.
Moscow has grown into beautiful
city that offers exceptional inducements
to the homeseeker. 1t has magnif-
cant University, splendid public
schools, is a county seat, has two rail-
roads and third one building, has
paved streets, city water and fine cleo
trio power, has Carnegie library, and
will have a hundred thousand dollar
public building. To do this has cost
something and taxes are now high, but
no higher than are taxes in Lewiston
or any other progressive young city that
has sewers and city water and paved
streets. And instead Of bowling
and doing its best to kill Moscow the
Journal and its publishers would serve
the community better if they would
either boost or go out of business.

terrible and positive manner by the
experiences reported by the commits

THIS IS AWFUL.

Last Friday the democrats of Ada
county held their second county con-
vention but could find no one willing
to accept a nomination on their
county ticket. From reports, as pub
lished in the Boise Capital News, the
leading democratic paper in the state,
an effort was made to fuse with the dis
gruntled republicans. The move was
not altogether agreeable to many dem
ocrats as the following, taken f.om the
Capital News will show: "A number
of warm speeches were made for and
against the proposition. w H. Dav-
idson made vigorous speech in oppo-
sition. He said that party principles
are at stake and he would rather see it
go down to defeat with only three
votes than to join a few disgruntled
republicans, who were willing to leave
their party for the sake of chance OF
getting into office" And what would
Mr.. Davidson think of his democratic
friends up here in Latah county?

AN OFFICE SEEKER.

John M. Thompson, the nominee
for auditor, was delegate to the dem
ocratic county convention that nomi-
mated S. R. H. MCGOWAN for auditor
four years ago. Mr.. Thompson bolted
the party and helped to defeat Mr..
MCGOWAN, yet more competent man
than Mr.. MCGOWAN was never placed
on ticket in Latah county. Mr..
Thompson this year went before the
regular republican county convention
and in fair, honorable, open contest
was defeated by just few votes. Now
he bolts and few weeks later is nom
mated by the fusionists on an indepen-
dent ticket. Were he the best man
in the county he is deserving of the
defeat he will suffer this fall. Personally
we like John Thompson, and admire
his many excellent qualities, but politi-
cally think he has shown poor judg-
ment and lack Of good sense. His
action is decidedly babyish and ex-
tremely Objectionable. He cannot
honorably accept nomination for audi
tor at the hands of another convention.
But having done so he shows himself
to be man without political principles
whose only motive for entering politics
is to get into public Office. John M.
Thompson is not a democrat; he is
not republican, but plain, common
Office seeker, who has betrayed both
parties, sacrificed principle, and aban-
doned his friends for OFFIC

tenn and cared less, their whole desire
being to fall on the popular side of the
fence that they might pose as the
friends of the common people without
any regard whatever to the right or
wrong of the question at issue.
The Post believes that no question
is settled until 1t is settled right. We
readily detected manv weaknesses in
the forestry regulations and urged that
steps be taken to strengthen the weak
places We readily admitted the
right OF the stockmen to believe that
the forestry system was inimical to
their interests but we tried to herd
them along the line of truth modera-
ton and common sense and above all
we maintained that the idea that by
any sort of effort no matter how strong
they could overthrow the system was
preposterous. 1t is compliment to
the judgment of the Post to know that
the cattlemen, who are fine lot of
fellows and who try mighty hard to
be reasonable even if they don't al
ways succeed, are now finding out
that the government is real instead
of pretended friend and that they are
also discovering that many of the
bugaboos which were erected by the
troublesome sentiment makers for the
purpose of frightening the stockmen
never had any existence whatever in
fact but were created out of the misty
imaginations of those who could not
get third class hearing without scar
ing the people.
We sincerely hope the system will
work out to the advantage of the
stockmen as Mr.. Honnold believes it
will and if after fair trial it proves
a failure the Post will do as much as
any one to effect such modification Of
the regulations as will protect the
stockmen in the prosperity to which
they are entitled.

WHO MAKES THE TRAnpS!

The trouble among the ranchmen of
the Roaring Fork country in regard
to the importation of Jap laborers has
been averted so fal as Garfield county
is concerned. by their removal to
ranches in Eagle county, and now it
devolves upon Sheriff Henry of that
county to see that the Jap and China
man is protected in his North Ameri .

decent white men. And to protect any
ranchman that may have leanings in
that direction the blame is placed on

The above quotation is sample of
the rot that is peddled about the coun.
try press, ostensibly in the interest OF
American labor, when in reality such
farfetched statements do more to make
tramps ont of decent white men
than all the Japs and Chinese on
American soil. TIE Japs on the
Harris ranch are not in any possible
manner interfering with white labor,
but 100 white men can now find work
in the vicinity of Carbonate and
Basalt. Another hundred are needed
in the valleys of the Eagle river, Gyp-
sum and Brush creeks and yet the

LAST WEDNESDAY thr

LAST WEDNESDAY throughout
the length and breadth of the land the
people gathered to observe Memorial
Day, to strew the fragrant flowers
upon the last resting places of those
who unflinchingly risked their lives
for an undivided country. The boys
in blue are rapidly disappearing.
Soon their faces and their names will
be but memory, and yet a pleasant
memory withal To those who laid
down their lives on a field of battle
IN order that the stars and stripes
might float over free and united
land, as well as those who survived
the terrible ordeal, we owe much, and
the memorial exercises throughout the
country are but fitting expressions of
appreciation and devotion and serve
to stimulate that pure patriotism we
so greatly need. A noticeable feature
in connection with the observance of
this day is the growing liberality in
the north toward their former foes
and this charitable spirit this year
took the form of an appeal from Com
mander Tanner that the G. A. R.
mem bers in the work of decorating
the graves of their comrades should
not pass by the graves of their antag-
onists who wore the gray. This is

in cause which he believed to be

years ago should not be carried be.

Made Money on EStrdyS

If states adjoining Colorado had as
effective law as this state requiring
brand inspection there would be no
stock thieves in business.
This is the position taken by the
state board of stock inspection com
missioners in its annual report filed
yesterday with Governor Mcdonald.
During the year closing April 30,
1906, the board had arrested and pros
ecuted thirty six men for cattle steal
ing, cattle rustling and other viola
lions of the stock laws. In most of
these instances convictions followed.
The number of cattle inspected dur
ing the year was SIG, 1859; horses, 49,,
949, with fees for inspection 81, 900.
The receipts of the board from the
sale of estrays amounted to $l8, 1890
and from inspection fees, advertising
estrays, collection charges, etc, 49,,
62S 36. Disbursements: Cash paid
owners for estrays, sl3, O92 So; cash
paid special inspectors, advertising
fees, attorneys fees, Office expenses,
etc, IS, 1O1 So.
