TWO WERE KILLED
Serious Wreck in Railway Yards
in This City.

+ . . III . ~ -.
Early this morning a disastrous
wreck occurred in the yards of the
Northwestern railway company.
The engineer who pulled the passen-
ger train into Pierre at $40 this morn
ing, which completed his run, started
for the round house back his engine
which is located one mile east of the
passenger station. He had not gene
far when he backed into double head
or west bound freight train, which held
the right of way of track. Both en-
gineer and fireman failed to see the
fast approaching freight train in time
to jump from the engine. The engines
came together with tremendous force,
demolishing, wrecking both engines.
Fireman Clyde Barrett of the head en-
CINE of the freight was pinioned be-
tween the boiler head and tender, his
skull was crushed, and his body was
scalded in frightful manner. He ex-
pired few minutes later. Eng ineer
| Edward Weaver of the same train suf-
fered the loss of his left limb; he sus-
tanned internal injuries, aside from
bruises of a serious nature. Hopes
were entertained of his recovery until
8 o'clock, when his condition infinitely
became more serious, and half an hour
later he passed from earth away.
Mr.. Barrett was an unmarried man
his home being in Wisconsin. Mr.
Weaver is survived by a wife and two
children, Huron being their place OF
residence.
Engineer M. W. Bliss of the passen
ger crew, sustained slight injuries
His fireman, w. Seckles, jumped from
the engine just before the collision oc
Cured and escaped injury.
The destruction of railroad property
was heavy. The track was cleaned
and the outgoing traias departed OF
time.

THE WILSON CASE.

AS q radical change of policy may
be- anticipated in the Capital News in
many important matters. within the
next week, 1t may seem unnecessary
for The Tribune to reply To the edi-
torial In the Monday issue regarding
the Wilson case, until we ascertain
what position the paper will assume
In the future. However, it has gone SO
far already that a reply should be
made, Notwithstanding the Capital
News article started nowhere and end
ed In the same place. AS is we'll
known the style of the editorials in
the News is SO clear, lucid and force
ful tbatsit must engage in question

tie or no difference whether Mrs. Will

500 pounds Of calico, or not. The facts
are that she could not take care of
the children. They were scantily

life. Such persons are cared for by
charitable society. The insane per-
son Is sent to the insane asylum. The
poverty stricken are sent to the poor
farm. Dependent and neglected chill

These institutions are established for
such purposes. They are a blessing

SPECIAL SESSION.

There is some talk In political cir
cles OF calling special session Of the
legislature to pass on the codification
OF the laws recently prepared. The
reason given Is that the legislature at
Its regular session may get to squab-
bling over appointments, bills and
committee assignments and the Inn
portant matters will not be completed.
The Tribune thinks this fear ground
less. 1t Is estimated that 1t will take
only six days to adopt the code. At
its regular session there will be sixty
days session. This certainly is time
enough to adopt the code, elect a Uni
ted States senator and pass all the
Jaws the state at present requires. A
special session would be q needless
expense. II will cost at least $4,000. 90
and will do nothing that cannot be
just as well done a few days later.
There exists no great emergency that
calls for a special session. The people
OF Idaho have gotten along for several
years without this code and they can
stand II until the regular session.
There Is another consideration. by
spending a few days on the code, the
legislature will refrain for that time
at least. from passing freak laws.
II the coming legislature should adopt
the code, enact a county local option
bill and elect United States senator,
1t would do enough. A grateful sigh
OF relief would issue from the people
II Il should stop there. We do not
want freak primary laws or expensive
commissions. We know the taxpayers
OF Idaho are heavily burdened now,
and needless expenditure Of public
money viii not meet with popular ap-
prevail. The Republican party Is now
before the people and should make a
record for q wise and economical adj
OF public affairs.

RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The American people excise peculiar
inconsistencies. About half their time
is spent in lamenting official corrup-
ton and the other half in creating
more officials to be corrupted. Poll
ticians are in disrepute and yet we are
doing our level best to make us all
politicians. At present we are bend
Ing all our efforts In creating commits
sions. For some reason or other,
probably because they are the biggest
concerns, railroad commissions are the
vogue. None OF US know exactly what
these commissions should do, but we
want them. We complain of late
trains, poor service and excessive
charges. We, none Of US, actually
know whether we are getting good or
bad service for the price we pay. II
the legislature should create a rail-
road commission and competent men
railroads might convince those men
that rates should be raised. Such
things have happened and that right
recently. We should not think that
the sole object of such commissions is
to reduce rates. But that is beside
the question. The Tribune is con-
WINGED that at the present stage of
development Idaho should do nothing
to discourage railroad building. We
should rather encourage them. We
should not attempt to embarras rail-
roads In any manner. We may be
getting shade the worst Of II, but
who knows? Surprising we are, Is
there any sane person who thinks that
a commission is going to alleviate all
our ills or remove any Of them? We
think not. Idaho at an expense OF
100000 or 100000 per year can
not solve the problems that have been
aggravating for years.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1908-12-05

membered that several years ago SEN
ator w. A. Clark Of Montana was de-
MED a seat In the United States sem
ate because he expended too much
money In securing bis election. Ac-
cording to the congressional investi-
cation. the amount SO expended was
about $34,000.00. 1t was claimed that
he could not have expended 80 much
money legitimately. The charges
against Senator Clark were undoubt-
eddy true. Yet, under the direct pri-
mary law of Oregon, 1t is freely charg-
ed, and has never been denied, that
Jonathan Bourne expended 500, 100000
In securing his election. It Is also
freely acknowledged that Senator
Bourne spent his money legitimately.
He spent his money In advertising
himself; in campaigning and in send
ing out workers. The principal ar
gument we urge against the direct
primary law, is that 1t enables the
wealthy to monopolize the public Of
fees. Some have argued that the rich
man is not so liable to fall to bribery
as the poor man, because his financial
condition precludes pecuniary tempta-
ton. The Tribune will take its chances
on the rank and Ale. It has been our
experience that the poor man is usual
ly more honest than the rich. We
have noted that some of our greatest
statesmen originated in the lowly
walks of life; that they we're poor on
entering public Office and just as poor
on leaving IL. That class of men we
do not desire to drive from public life.
The people should remember this.
They should see their legislators and
inform them that mistake was made
when the platform adopted suggested
a direct primary. It is not too late
now. We do not want self perpetu-
ating officialdom, nor an aristocratic
oligarchy. The direct primary was
designated for this purpose.

The Conditions at Portland.

Multnomah county has dozen MUIR
derers in Jail, but 1t has had no exc
cution for many months or years. Ask
any one when the last hanging occur
red in Portland-or at Salem of a
Portland murderer-and he cannot tell
you. But murders are just as frequent
as hangings are infrequent, and large
'ly for that reason. Now we have a
lawyer who murders another lawyer
In cold blood because the victim has
done his duty sternly and fearlessly.
The murderer, being lawyer and
used to the ways Of the law and Of ju-
ries, of course thought he never would
reach the gallows. Why should he
have thought he would be hanged? No
murderer with money, or friends, or
influence, or family, ever has been
hanged here.
It is useless to inquire now how
much the law or the courts are to
blame for this dreadful condition.
There would be hangings enough IL
public sentiment demanded II; and
we should hear less about emotional
insanity" and Temporary mental aber-
ration" II the public should make up
Its mind to tolerate no longer that
fahhtnB Buffer ifE5Sth ARH aRlfftsihhs-
tons or alterations; but IL he Is sane
enough or cunning enough to form
a plot to kill another, and does 1t, he
Is sane enough to be hanged for t.;
and society makes horrible mistake
when 1t fails to require that he be
hanged. II he is sane, he should pay
the full penalty, because justice re-
quires It; II he is insane tempo
rarily'-he should be exterminated,
because society must protect itself.
Let us hang a few of our murderers
who are afflicted with emotional In
sanity" or temporary alteration
and then we shall have fewer murders
and greater protection and safety for
society. II will be well to begin with

DON'T BE AFRAID.

: The Meridian Tribune Is a most ex-
ceiient paper, but 1t sometimes gets
fearful Of the fate Of Idaho. In reply
to an article In a recent issue OF
Tribune 1t says that unless we
we railroad commission instanter.
] 70 people will leave the state to its
mevai desolation. Now that would
ZOO bad. We would hate to see the
beautiful village Of Meridian abandon
ed We would hate to lose the Meri-
dian Tribune and Its accomplished ed
itor. And we won't do It, railroad
commission or no. For several years
the state has got along without a rail-
road commission. To be sure, we have
had code 6anRisslons galore. They
may have D. But We never had
a railroad commission. During the
past ten years Idaho has grown and
developed as no other western state.
There Is every promise OF greater
growth and development during the
next ten years, and we have no com
mission. The people are not going to
leave. Towns are not going to be
abandoned. The sun will still shine.
The fertility Of the soil; the warmth
OF the sun; Gods benefcences and
April showers do not depend on rail-
road commissions. Let the Meridian
paper weep no more. The future is
not 80 dismal.
