STATE OF IDAHO
IS ON THE BUM.
The Pinkertons and Union Smashers
Have Bankrupted the States
Treasury.

The Mine Owners Association
has apparently put the state OF
Idaho on the .bum'' ii there is
any truth in the following clipped
from Il newspaper of recent date:
1.-The banks now take the posi-
tlon that it would not be conserya-
tive banking to advance large sums
to the state and take chances on a
legislature paying the bills two
years from now. The bills of the
state have been enormous. In ad-
ditlon to attorneys fees and the
$50, 900 that has been paid to the
Plnkeftons, many thousands of
dollars have been paid ont for wit
nesses. Men and women have
been brought here to testify for the
state and they have come all the
way from San Francisco in the
West and Minneapolis in the East.
Scores were brought here from
Colorado, and sent away without
being called to the witness stand,
and the mileage and hotel bills
ran the state expenses above S20,-
900 for this item alone.'
Another report from Boise says:
Governor Gooding is now oc-
cupying Il fearfully humilating
pos. ton, as he failed to make good
his promise to the people when
asking for that Sl04, 900 to, prose
cute Moyer, Haywood and Petit
bone, while Borah is SO down in
the mouth that he makes little CT
no effort to conceal his diSappoint-
ment, and Mcfarland is fast be
coming the butt of ridicule for
having allowed socialist Friedman
free access to the records of the
yPinKerton agency when playing
spy to strengthen the defense
so ably presented by Attorneys
Darrow and Richardson.''
As before stated. Gooding,
Borah, Mcfarland and others of
the gang are on trial as well as
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone.
1t means political and perhaps
commercial humiliation fer the
firstnamed gents if the jury brings
in Il verdict in the favor Of the
miners. Therefore. it is quite
natural that the politicians and
their plute masters to secure a
conviction or at least a disagree
ment, and the public ought TO be
prepared to hear of eleventh hour
trickery to influence the iurymcn
