Trouble at POCatellO.

The prosperous city of Pocatel1o is beset by inter-
nal troubles and the din of the strife reaches
a considerable portion of Idaho Primarily the cause
the triumph at the municipal election last spring
of the ticket of the anti Mormon organization and
the defeat of the ticket supported by the Mormon
alliance with the Republican machine. A citizens
ticket prevailed and while it not undemocratic
it received the support of all classes that favor better
conditions than Mormon control will admit Of At
the state election last fall Pocate1lo also declared
through the ballot its independence of the hierarchy
sustaining the Democratic ticket against the Mormon
Republican combination.
Pocate11o is located in the midst of Mormon
county and the county officials of the Republican
brand, made so through the usual alliance The
chairman of the Republican county committee, who
has brewery behind him and is classified jack
Mormon, proceeded to his influence to embarrass
the (to him) obnoxious municipal administration.
The fight began the refusal of the city council
to grant liquor dealers license to parties who in
tended to turn its benefits over to the keeper of
suppressed dance hall that had made itself objec
tonable to the moral element of the city.

crusade in an mpotent effort to regulate the policies
of city and county in which he has local interest
and is entitled to it. The fusion of Republicansm
with the Hearst independents of New York has been
traced directly to the White House, though one
would hardly expect to find Mr.. Roosevelt in col
fusion with a who is gathering his following
from the ranks of both of the great political parties
and is alternating many Republicans as Democrats
That Mr.. Roosevelt failed entirely in his assault
on the citadel defended by Mr.. Johnson and had no
better in leading his allies against the strong
hold of Tammany will bring to the Republican party
the dsqueting conclusion that administration support
can hardly be relied upon as factor in the deter
mination of issues apart from the national reforms
to which he has given his sanction.
He conspicuousy defeated in the home state
of the whom he has selected as his successor
and was conspicuously defeated in his home
state He deserved defeat in both instances as re-
Duke to the inconsistencies that marked his course
throughout the two campaigns.

r1oralS and Business.

In the Worlds Work for November the people of
the Republic are informed that it is absurd, if not
criminal, the recurring newspaper talk about selling
the Philippines which Secretary Taft described as
unworthy of consideration BECAUSE among other
sons we have entered into moral obligations to the
people of the islands which it would be gnominious
to shirk or transfer"
The Secretary merely on-looker when the
obligation was incurred and did not officially par
ticipate as the war minister of the nation, in the
proceedings through which that obligation shot
into the understanding of the unwilling FilipinoS
While he INDUCES in the moral aspect of situa-
ton based upon teeming imagination, plain con-
gresham, with sordid commercial view, arrives

colonies from the point of view of the man of bust

Francisco from Pacific ship, declared that I'VE must

Northwestern Depression.

According to the deductions of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, car famine more serious
than that of last winter is probable during the COM
ing winter, especially in the States of Idaho Wyo-
ming, Montana Washington and Oregon. There
has been an increase of per cent in the car supply
and increase of from 10 to 20 per cent in the
demand for cars.
The startling feature of the outlook is renewal
of the fuel scarcity in Far West States and Montana
is giving early signs of distress. Sections contiguous
to coal mining property that is being worked COM
plain that they can obtain no relief from nearby
mines any than the remote prairie jewellers can
obtain relief from far-away mines
Lumber manufacturers of the Puget Sound country
for the products of their mills and the industry
is seriously impaired. The case of the lumbermen
has been laid before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission together with complaint that the lumber
carrying railroads charging excessive rates for
transportation, an advance of from to 10 cents
per hundred having been made since the 1st of No
vember.
These Interruptions to the course of trade coming
along with the financial stringency have created
genuine hard times in the Northwest, although the
protective tariff and the single monetary standard
are in the full bloom of their usefulness The les
is that other conditions contribute to prosperity
than those exploited by partisans the stump
and in the newspapers.

A Thanksgiving Day.

In compliance with proclamation issued by the
President of the United States, Thursday of next
week. the 25th of November, will be observed as
day of thanksgiving and prayer At any rate, the
President suggests that the day be devoted to such
indugences will place mankind i'll touch with the
Power that bestows favors and blessings, saying:
I recommend that the people shall cease from their
daily work. and, in their homes in their churches,
meet devoutly to thank the Almighty for the many
and great blessings they have received in the past and
to pray that they may be given strength to order
their lives deserve continuation of these bless
ngs in the future.

A New State.

The admission of the new State of Oklahoma was
important event of last week. giving to the Union
its fory-sixth organization. In the case of Okla
homa, which includes the ancient organization known
Indian Territory, it was justice delayed, for the
State long ago entitled to a representative form
of government
Political fears behind the delay, the con-
trolling party in Congress not caring to strengthen
the other party precaution not monopolized by the
Republican organization. Democratic majortes in
Congress have kept Republican territories out of the
Union until patience ceased to be a virtue
Oklahoma, admitted by Republican Congress and
Republican administration, appears to be irrevoc-
ably Democratic. 1t sends to Washington two Dem
ocratc Senators, four Democratic Representatives
and one Republican Representative 1t would have
been better, politically speaking, for a Republican
Congress to have admitted Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as separate States. There was a chance
that Oklahoma would have gone Republican and
certainty that Indian Territory would have gone
Democratic-that would have counteracted the
political influence of the other in their National
attitude.
The Indian Territory portion of the new State
belongs to the solid South It's ane-beum residents
slave-holdng people, both reds and whites,
and its sympathes with the Confederacy during
the Civil War
The new State has promulgated a constitution
radical enough satisfy the demands of the reform
sentiment that is gaining control of parties 1t
not received with good grace by the administrative
philosophers at Washington and the President
first inclined to withhold his proclamation of adj
mission until some conservative features intro
duced into the document
Possibly, even probably, the Oklahoma constitu-
ton will be used pattern for other territories
and some of the older States when the country be-
comes accustomed to doctrines and prin-
cples that slowly forging their way to the front

of the Republican county chairman, who believes in
the maintenance of all places of resort that draw
supplies from his mandatory, the county attorney
issued an order commanding the prostitutes of Poca-
teo to leave the county.
In compliance with a custom long in vogue that
unfortunate class of had been confined to
the limits of a specified portion of the city and it
was their custom to contribute to the municipal
revenue through monthly fines. They were regulat-
ed, kept under control and prevented from making
a nuisance of themselves, far Surveil-
lance can accomplish that object
In obedience to the order of the county attorney
these undesirable residents of the city abandoned
their prescribed haunts and scattered themselves
throughout the community. They did not leave the
county, the city, and the county authorities have
intention of compelling them to obey the full
command of the official prosecutor. In their uncon-
troed condition they will be able to embarrass the
government without contributing to the revenue and
the Mormon combine feels assured that the people
will tire of the situation and return to the wallow
from which they have rescued themselves.
Another phase of the controversy is the appear
in the city council of proposed ordinance to
prohibit all traffic in ntoxicants. The ordinance has
been referred to committee of the council and it is
an object of concern to the bbulous and interest to
the moralists.
There is some reason to believe that the reform
movement instituted in Pocatello will extend to other
communities and that the liquor traffic will be at
tackled at various other points in the state An at
torney interested in legal controversy that may
arise at Pocatello contends that a the laws of the
state of Idaho and all ordinances of all cities and
villages within the state authorizing licensing the
saloon business are void and unconstitutional" This
is opinion that may get into the courts if it finds
any considerable support among the legal fraternity
Should contest arise over the traffic in ntoxi-
cants it is presumed that the Mormon-Repubican al
lance will defend the saloon A gentleman who has
given the subject considerable attention writes the
Scimitar: 1T is becoming evident every day
that there is firm alliance with the Republican
party of all the liquor interests in this state includ
ing Mormon bishops and apostles, that they may
tinue their hold upon the state of Idaho"
