1T HURTS THEM.

1t is interesting to observe the
frenzy of righteous Indignation
which some of the Democratic
newspapers of the country profess
to feel oyer the action Of the presi-
dent in throwing the great weight
of his personality into the presi-
dental campaign. Among these is
the Boise Capital News. In a
double column editorial headed,
Roosevelt Common Politician, y il
declares he has laid aside the dig
nified robes of his office and de
scended into dirty" politics. II
scolds at him as those only scold
who find their party given a fatal
blow by some commanding preson-
age, able and willing to strike
hard whenever necessity may arise
for such action.
But sColding at the President
cannot set aside the truths he pro
claims, nor can it prevent these
from taking deep hold upon the
minds of the people. Those who
indulge in frantic scolding only
weaken their own case. They dis
close the measure of the damage
done their cause by the utterances
of the president. Those hurt al,
ways cry out in some manner, ex-
cepting i'll rare cases, and that is
as true in politics as it is in any
in life. That is what is
hurting the Democrats and leads
to such fulminations as that in
dulg,d in by the Boise paper. In
stead of raving at the president,
such papers should return devout
thanks that we have an executive
who is ready to take a bold and
righteous stand for the people on
The great questions that are now
before them.
Theodore Roosevelt was needed
II this country; that has been am
ply demonstrated in the past few
years. He came to the front at a
line when it was essential that
some man with the conscience and
he courage and determination to
accomplish results should step for.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

Canyon county is normally from
1000 to 5000 Republican. There
have been many newcomers within
the last two years, but it is not like.
" the proportion will be changed
This being true can anyone name a
reason why the Republican majority
in this county next November should
aot be 5000? Why should not the
party strength &c polled? Two
years ago there were causes, but no
reasons. The Republican party is
o fering the people principles which
sand for the advancement of the
interests of the state. They are
principles which the people want
represented in the legislature and in
the state and county Offices, and, af-
ter all, the principles of party are
of paramount importance.

nees are representative men. This
is especially so in the county. There
is B. P. Shawhan for senator, and j.

Payette for representatives A

Thompson is one of the leading at
t1rneys of Caldwell, an able. earn

supporter of long standing of local

young man of Nampa whose voice
has been heard in the councils of his
party for some time and who will be
an able representative of this county
in the legislature. Colonel Patch is
a home man. We do not believe his

who apart from giving her name as
Frances Anna Smith and saying that
she wounded her husband three times,
refused to say word about the shoot
ing.
Where Smith ran to could not be
discovered last night and the general
impression of the police after a long
search was that he had fallen in the
tall weeds surrounding the house and
that his dead body would be found
today.
All the police had to work on was
the woman's statement to the patrol
man who arrested her to the effect
that she had shot her husband three
times. Further than this she would
not utter a. word. When taken to the
Mission station she remained abso-
lutely silent. All efforts to make her
even give her name were unavailing.
To every question she remained silent.
AS far as could be learned from
neighbors jealously on the woman's
part was the cause of the quarrel and
In the heat of the moment she shot at

All the available patrolmen were de-
tailed on the case and an effort was
made to find Smiths body, but with
out success. The police were unable
to explain the mystery, last night and
were forced to content themselves with
waiting till today, when they expect
to find Smith, either dead or alive, or
