man, and stands ready to make due APP
ology the moment it can be shown we
have in anyway wronged or mistreated
any man. This applies to Judge Truths
case, which so far stands with an admis-
sion of guilty. In the Moscow Post Mr..
Truitt admitted all the News ever char
cd about his public record as a state
Senator, concluding with the boast that
II am proud of my record" Why the
gentleman from Latah should get angry
when the Troy News publishes only a
little of this record is hard to under
stand, unless it be that the Judge really
is ashamed of his senatorial record OF
platform reputation. Surely this gives
Mr.. Truitt no excuse to make coward
ly, Dgeutlemanly, vicious, brutal ex-
hibition of up-to-date thuggery. And
even should he shoot us down in cold
blood, or beat out our brains with brass
knuckles or lead pipe slug, he cannot
get away from the cold hard facts Of his
own official record. Mr.. Truitt has
every opportunity in the world to reply.
The Post and the Troy News will gladly
give him all the space he may desire.
We even invite him to discuss the re-
cord through these columns. And we
impress upon him the fact that unless
he can make some defense other than
resort to brute force he has no legal
or moral right to complain. His public
record is public property. 1t belongs to
the people, and the people and the press
have right to analysize and criticise it
in any way. This rule is applied to
even the president OF the United States,
to U. 5. Senators, and to governors. 1t
is the price that every public man must
pay, and like it or not, will be COM
PEELED to pay, for no other reason than
that he Is public man.

Editorial.
WHAT DOES Fields MEAN?

w ia DJEO FAN
In commenting on the Truitt assault
upon the News editor in Moscow Tues
day the Moscow Post excuses Truitt in
the following manner:
1.-THE trouble was due to the repeated
mistatements of Orcutt in his newspa per
relative to Truitt in political matters
and affecting his record in the state
senate"
Whatever else Mr.. Fields may think
of the News he knows. or can find out
by examining the records, that the Troy
News has not published even one "mis-
tatement" relative to Truths senatorial
record. AS a matter of fact we have
not yet published all of the facts And
what we have published we have taken
from the Senate Journal, which is GER
Judge Truitt, over his own signature, in
the Moscow Post, to the knowledge of
George Fields, admitted every charge
the Troy News ever made against the
state senator, but excused his senator
ial record of platform repdia ton on the
ground that a republican legislature
pledged to support and maintain the
University, compelled him to vote as he
did. Failure to comply, said Judge
Truths letter, meant no appropriation
to the University of Idaho Mr.. Fields
regardless of what he thinks of the
News editor, owes it to the people to
state the facts. And the record shows
that he has not done so. Therefore Mr..
Fields can escape the charge OF malic-
ious falsi6er by pleading ignorance,
which is no excuse at all. If he did
not know, it was the business of an hon
est man to find out. And since the
Post has raised the question, which is
simply matter of record, the News
would like to have the Post print the re-
cord. If we have lied about Judge
Truitt, what was it? We refer Editor
Fields to Senator TRUTHS letter pu blish-
ed in the Moscow Post. Did Mr. Truitt
misrepresent facts when he said that he
did vote against republican platform
pledges? The Senate Journal, of which
we have copy before us, substantiates
all that Senator Truitt charged against
his own record as a state senator.
Come, now, Mr.. Fields, be honest and
fair enough to print the record. If the
News has lied, show us up. If you
dom do it the people will believe there
is something wrong with the veracity of
Mr.. Fields. Now get busy.

Brady stood on the republican state plat

to suit the occasion. In Troy the repub-
lican nominee, in order to get with the
people, borrowed the direct primary

everything else. In fact both he and
Congressman French got onto this
democratic plank and spent most of

excellent measure it is. And incident.

Brady spoke in Moscow Wednesday
evening and made about the same
speech he made in Troy. He refused to
mention the matter OF boom franchises

plank, turned down by the republican
state convention but Incorporated into a
plank in tho democratic state platform.

The Moscow Post. official republican
organ OF the county, defends,the attempt
of Senator Truitt toebeat up the News
editor with heavy metal slug. The
Post will also justify the Moscow city
officials, and County Attorney Stilinger,
for their refusal to bring the case to trial.
A demand has been made on Mr.. Still
niger to prose, u g the case, and there is
no question, had the assault been COM
mitted by Orcutt on Mr.. Truitt, that the
News editor would never have gotten
out of Moscow without trial. Judge
Truitt, after being arrested on the street,
and while the Moscow officers were
standing near, howled with rage, using
the worst kind of obscene and indecent
language in the hearing of men and wo-
men, and still nothing has been done.
But let some poor workingman, some
Unfortunate fellow, do half as much and
he would have been fined or jailed.
Certainly there is no lack of evidence.

LEGISLATURES WILL
BE REPUBLICAN

Y B r Il
BOISE-Brady's majority in the
state will be between $500 and
5000, and while complete returns
are not yet in from several counties,
the legislature is safely Republican
in both branches. Returns are slow
from Lemhi, Custer, Boise, Owyhee,
Elmore and Blaine, and while there
will probably be some Republican
members elected in these counties,
for the sake Of comparison they are
considered in doubt and givn to the
Democrats, and figuring on that
basis the complexion of the next leg

as figured at this time, though there
will probably be Republican gain:

Democrats.
