JUDGE MORCAN'S REVENGE.
announces Intention to Support
Democratic Ticket.

On Friday, Aug. 81, word arrived
That Judge R. T. Morgan and few
Others, his politica. advisors, includ
ing A. A. Crane and L. w. Ely O,
Harrison; Geo. W, Matthews, Messis.
Hooker and Osler of Ronners Ferry,
Herman H. Taylor, W. f. Whitaker
A. Filson, r. B. Norris, and Martin
Platt OF Standpoint met Ia conference
at Standpoint and decided to give thei,
support to the democratic ticket ia
preference to that OF the repu blicans.
An unsigned statement was issued
setting forth what purport to he the
reasons for the conferees taking such
a step In the statement 1t is de-
clared that the methods by which the
republican ticket was nom ma ed were
"un-Amerlcan;" that the candidates
were "chosen by the boss" and the
ticket "dictated by one man." that
there is demand "that ring rule be
broken and bossism crushed" etc.
Judge Morgan's movements had
been closely watched since the repub.
lican county convention seven weeks
ago and there was much wonderment
as to what he would do to get revenge
against his party for its failure to re
nominate him for district Judge. He
had met IN conference with Senator
Dubois and it is believed that he was
encouraged by the democratic leader
to take the contemplated step to knife
the ticket Of the republican party.
The SO called revolt has aroused a
little passing comment among politl-
Cal observers, both republicans and
democrats. Some democrats and the
judges friends assert that the action
will elect the democratic ticket since,
they claim, the judge carries 1000 re-
publican votes "in his vest pocket. :"
But the republicans who have been
Interviewed have stated almost lnvar-
iably that They attach but little i'm
portance to the matter and that the
judges detection will not affect the
result of the campaign. Some demo-
Gratis also saw this. The republican n
leaders appear to agree that Judge
Morgan's action has fully justified the
party 10 refusing to renominate him.

PLAY BY AMATEURS.
Rathdrum Local Talent Dew
Appreciative Crowd.

Another exhibition OF local talent
In dramatic art was seen by The Rath-
drum public at the opera house Thurs.
day and Friday nights OF last week,
and judging by the receipts and EVIL
dences Of appreciation on the part of
the audience our home amateurs sus
tained their past reputation for ability
to give an excellent perfurma nee.
The play presented, was that en-
titled "The King of Idaho" 1t is a
melodrama with strong plot, vein
Of comedy and full OF series of well
connected and lively scenes and incl
dents which held the attention of the
audience thruout. The scene is laid
10 the Occur d, Alene in the early days
and the characters, the surroundings
and the everpresent revolver suggest
ed the early day mining camp. 1t is
a play that requires the best efforts
OF either amateurs or professionals,
and that it was played 10 highly
satisfactory manner speaks well for
the local talent OF Rathdruln which
composed the cast.
The role OF the hero Of the play,
Alexander Fairfax, "The King of
Idaho" was taken by Louis Denee
with his usual excellent versatility.
w. E. Graham, as the gambler, was
also IN leading part and personated
the character with professional skill.
s. J. Hughes as Duncan LeMpyne, an
adventurer was par excellence In the
villains role in which he was shared,
in subordinate degree, by J. Il. M.
Culp as Mark Wayne, spector Of the
past. l.. L. Tucker in his difficult
role as Jim Bixby, a relic of better
days, could scarcely have been sur
passed. His makeup and general con-
duct furnished much amusement, as
also did z. F. Schaefer in his careful
and painstaking representa- alton Of
Tom Finn, foreman Of miners. Hol
lis McCrea as Jack Mason Fairfax,
eight year old child OF the Fairfaxes,
received deserved praise for the splen.
did manner in which he acted his
part. The greatest amount OF life
in the play was probably that furnish.
ed by Bessie Fairfax, personated per-
fectly by Miss Capitnla Dutton.
A part that was most difficult was
that of Ethel Wayne, victim
Of circumstances, represented by
Miss Alice Webster, whose refined
appearance and manners peculiarly
adapted her to give perfect ilterpre-
tation of that character. Miss
Minnie Farr, as Mrs. Boggs the hos
tess Of the King of Idaho hotel
figured In all the striking see nes anc
carried out her part 10 a most accepta
BILE manner, while LaClaire Stpddard
the baby, was we'll behaved aud alleo
an important part in the coined,
scenes.
A dance was given after the show
both nights. The receipts are report
ed to have been about $ll0, a smal
| percentage of which went to the Roy
al Neighbors under whose auspices tn,
play was gwen.

NoRTHcoTT'S NEW DOCTRINE.

/ In assailing Ex-Governor Yates as
an advocate of Democratic State
rights because he is making cam
paign against Federal interference in
| Illinois politics. United States District
Attorney Northcott carries the Renub-
lican view of concentrated Federal
powers to a hitherto untouched ex.
IRENE,
One party in this country has al
ways favored extending the powers Of
the Washington Government to the
wides limits permissible under liber
al construction of the constitution,
Another has always stood for restrict
ion of those powers to the necessary
and essential functions of the FEEDER
al Government. while retaining TO the
State all powers and functions not
relinquished and delegated in the Con.
stftution
But no party and, hitherto, no re-
sponsible official or publicist has ser
iously advanced the notion that it is
proper for the Federal Government to
control the internal politics of a state.
Mr. Northcott is entitled to whatever
credit or discredit is due to the novel
proposition that the nomination ana
election of state and county officers
senators and representatives may be
legitmately controlled by the execu-
tive branch of the Federal Government
its appointees.
If the faction of the Republican
party in Illinois which Mr.. Yates
speaks of as the Washington Syndi-
cate" the Federal Crowd and the
Observation-Disclosures Combine is
going to stand pat upon the proposition |
that the Federal Government has a |
right to name the men who are to rep |
resent the people of Illinois in Wash !
ington and in Springfield, the Yates |
faction has little to fear from it. And |
yet, the logical deduction from Mr. |
remarks at Greenville last |
week IS that he fayors Federal con
troll OF Republican politics in Illinois,
It IS only for assailing this system that
he denounces Yates as states rights

chime Republican politicians.-St.

counties where Judge Vickers has
been successful In securing his dele
| gates.
Another point is raised, which will
probably have a very important bear
| ing on the matter. as between Judges
Vickers and Harler. and tend TO
curb The formers disposition to bring
about the defeat of the latter under
any circumstances. Should Judge Vick-
ers succeed In throwing his delegates
10 Judge Thomas in sufficient num-
bers to nominate the latter then Judge
Harker will certainly make the race
for circuit judge against Vickers and
will be sure to win leaving the latter
to seek other fields of activity. Hence,
II Is believed that even Judge Vickers
himself. seeing his own nomination
will throw his influence to
Judge Harker, in order to have clear
field for himself in the circuit Judge
ship.
All this is interesting and TO what
extent il IS true will probably develop |
sefare the day is far gone.
There are great numbers of
'rooters here. especially with the
Thomas delegation, who will con-
ribute much TO the interest of the pro
eedings at Ole opera house.
