A Letter.

Some one kindly sent me a copy
of the Statesman" of Boise con-
tanning full text of Gooding's mes
sage to the legislature. To me, the
message is chiefly interesting be-
cause it throws light on some phases
of the kidnapping case. The corpo-
ration controlled press still contin-
ues to hold fast to the conspiracy
of silence' tactics, SO that the OUT
side world is left in the dark as
much as in their power lies.
Hence, what the governor has to
say anent the imprisoned officials
of the w. M. F. in the Caldwell
Jail, assumes the form of revelation.
We happen to know that the gov
ernor's excuse for not putting them
on trial, is neither candid nor true.
We know that to have put them on
trial last May, when they de-
manded to be tried, would have re-
suited in ruinous exposure of the
mine owners conspiracy, and stir
red up such storm as was very
sure to have beaten the republicans
in the election in spite of the pur-
chase of the Mormon church. But
why was the trial delayed indefi-
nitely, after the election? There
was reason for this continued de-
lay, and Gooding tells what that
reason was, to-wit: The tremen-

The time has come when instead OF

With the President away on politics
and hunting bent, and Root and Taft,
the two chief members Of the Cabinet
i'm foreign parts, and the other MEM
bers Of the Administration absent from
their departments on politics or pri-
vate business, the government Of the
country is runni ig with the Republi-
lican understrappers at the helm. This
has been pretty much the case all the
summer since the President left early
i'm June. No other Administration has
such record for absenteeism. Nor
has any other Administration spent 30
much time on partisan politics and in
reference with local party squabbles.
Every kind Of excuse has been made
to send out the cabinet officials and
their assistants to do the preliminary
work 10 round up delegates to the next
Republican National Convention. Sc
cretary Taft has made speeches IN all
the states where he could do any good;
Secretary Metcalf has been for months

States; secretary CortelyOu has been

Street and the New York politicians;
Secretary Bonaparie has been rusticat-
ing i'm Canada and bis Maryland coun-
try home, and incidentally has helped
o muddle up Republican prospects in
Maryland; Secretary Meyer has been
boosting up Sena or Lodge for control
Of the Massachusetts delegates; Secre-
tary Garfield besides spending the sum

eminent business, but really on poll
tics, then took another month at home
i'm Cleveland to help nx up the pro-
posed defeat Of Tom johnson for mayor

been travelling all over the West at
government expense, and II the truth
were known the other Cabinet MEM
bers have not paid out much from their
private purses on their political jun
