BOISE IS AROUSED
BY STATESMAN'S SLURS
Senator Borah's Organ Makes
Sneering Attack Upon Retired
Federal Judge Beatty.

BOISE, Ida. April 14.-Intense in
dignation prevails in this city over an
editorial that appeared in the Daily
Statesman this morning regarding the
retirement of Judge James Fl, Beatty
from the Federal bench of Idaho, The
Statesman said
"James Fl, Beatty retires from the
Federal court after about sixteen years
of service which has called for no
special comment from the public. In
private life he has been harmless. In
his attempts for Senatorship he has
been nothing less than laughahle. The
events of the past twelve months make
his retirement n matter of congratula-
tion rather than of regret. The echo
Of the vindictive harangue to the In
surgents at Pocatello dies away IN the
distance.
No man who has occupied q posi-
tion on a Federal bench anywhere in
this country has ever been or ia held In
higher esteem than is Hon. James H..
Beatty TODAY, and no wall from the
Statesman prompted by selfish motives
and kindled by jealousy will ever avail
against this man. who has always fear
lessly and honestly performed his Judi
cial duties as he saw them, and who
has had worthy ambition to become a
United States Senator.
The Statesman and its crowd have
been having a hard road TO travel of
late. One Of it sbosom friends, Mr..
Chapman, was sent TO Jail by Judge
Beatty for contempt. Its idol, Senator
Borah. it is persistently rumored and
admitted by the Statesman, was handed
ca package by the grand jury, and
It's books and one of the firm were be.

cases Involving the timber transac-

In fact. the Statesman is mad at the

not be appeased. II evidently imagines
that the Federal authorities have en-
tered into n conspiracy TO down the
crowd 1t trains with, but il is grievous-
