REPUBLICAN, DEFAULT.

1t is admitted that the Republi-
can party OF Idaho is in anything
but a hopeful condition for the
coming struggle, now but few
months off. 1t does not require
much of sage to determine the
cause, but the remedy is harder OF
solution. To the News there is
but one possible hope of success.
There is just one avenue of escape
from certain and overwhelming
defeat, and unless that policy pre-
walls all is lost. What, then, is
the solution? Simply this: The
Republican party of Idado must
make no attempt to defend the re-
cord of the last Republican Legis-
lature. 1t cant do it. 1t will be
repudiated at the polls. And it
must 60 one step farther. Repu-
blican politicians and leaders, re-
sponsible for the present disgrace
full state of things, must gracefully
retire to the rear procession. They
have forfeited their right to leader
ship. What then? Having repu-
dated the party record and
relegated its authors to the rear
the leadership must be taken up
by those Republicans who, through
every struggle, stood for the honor
and integrity of Republicanism.
To be plain, the party must now
openly admit that those Republi-
cans known through the last legis-
lature as insurgents and termed
boilers were right. And having
made this admission the party
must follow their leadership. This
element of the party must write
the next Republican platform, and
Idaho Republicans, if they would
win, must ask the people to sup
port no man whose record is not
in hearty accord with such plan.
Troy News, Rep.
Commenting upon the above the
Scimitar speaks as follows:
The insurgents and Democrats
in the last legislature voted togeth-
or for legislation demanded by the
people. They formed combina-
ton for this purpose, and kept
their agreement with each other.
1t was not "spoils" nor was it a
political combination. The people
through the party platforms and
votes at the polls had plainly made
known their wishes. The "insur.
gent" Republicans and the Demo
Gratis voted to make these expressed
wishes effective. They stood foi
an eight-hour labor law; they stood
for an antitrust and an anti-pass
law.
They stood for anti Mormon
church legislation, including the
enforcement of the constitutional
test oath, change of venue and al
unlawful cohabitation law. All o.
this legislation was beaten by the
Mormons, aided by the Governor
and Republicans controlled by the
Mormons.
The distinction of the insurgents
and the cause for their being de-
nounced as .'bolters" was that they
Joined with the Democrats against
the domination of the Mormons il
our politics.
The Troy News is correct.
The Republican party must throw
off the domination of the Mormon
heirachy and accept the Leadership
Of the insurgents.

Luke collect from dead beats, is
direct invitation to the dead beats to
continue their work, and to continue
to rob the merchants and others right
and left and is an approval of their
past course. Some of the bills killed
in the senate would not have helped
Luke; on the contrary they would
have hurt his business and enabled
merchants to collect their bills them,
selves with recourse to Luke.
1t has never occurred to us that the
dead beats of this community, or any
other community needed such en-
enlargement We do not know that
this community is any worse than
other communities.
There are lots of bad debts in 9TH
err states and other countries as well
as in Utah, but this is the first time
that we have ever heard of legisla-
ture composed of representatives of
the people furnished from twenty
seven counties of a state, refusing to
take into consideration the interest
of the entire state, simply on the
false theory that if they did so it
would help some one individual who
was runnig collection agency to
collect bad debts from dead beats.

The Rev. Peter A. Simpkin, we
think, did well in declining the ap-
pointment rendered him as judge of
the Juvenile court, that is we think he
did well in not adding the duties of
that position to those he has already.
Mr.: Simpkin as pastor of one of the
Congregational churches of this city
has all the work that an ordinarily
hard working man could do, but Mr..
Simpkin is an extraordinarily hard
worker and to his duties as pastor
adds multitude of charitable works
which with his church work takes
up every minute of the days and a
good part of the nights. To add
the Juvenile judgeship to his already
arduous labors would necesstate his
giving up some of them, probably
the pastorate, or the neglect of some
of them and that the parson would
not do.

The municipal election in Chicago
on Tuesday resulting as it did in the
complete victory of the republican
ticket was not much of a surprise.
The government of Chicago is rotten
absolutely putrid and the election of
a new crowd is a protest of the decent
people against the existing condi-
tons. The city for years has been
run by such criminals as Hinky Dink,
Bathhouse John and others of their
class who held seats in the city coun-
Gil and were the absolute bosses of
their wards. These men absolutely
controlled the police department and
profted by crime which they en-
couraged and protected criminals for
the revenue they got from them. The
conditions in Chicago would be
disgrace to Russia or China. The
republicans naturally are very much
elated over their victory. 1t is not how
ever strictly party triumph, but
rather protest against bribery,
Doodle corruption of all kinds and
crimes of violence. Sometimes we
think municipal conditions in Salt
Lake are bad and in many respects
they are, but in comparison with
Chicago, Salt Lake shows almost
pure and spotless.

One of the silliest, most childish
things the Legislature, particularly the
senate, did at its recent session was
the excuse it made for not passing
certain just and proper measures that
their passage would help Luke's col
lection agency. Has Luke attained
such power that even the legislature
is afraid of him?
We cannot conceive of anything so
ridiculous as legislators refusing to
pass laws for the benefit of the peo-
pie on the theory that if they did
so they would be helping Luke. Sure
ly the dead beats should be discour-
aged, even though they do not like
Luke, and to refuse to enact good
laws on the theory that it would help
