Neqro Woman a Pensioner.

Auditor A. E. Moore is up against proposition. The law says the wife of a Confederate pen sioner can draw the pension even after the death of the pensloner, with the presentation of the proper affidavits. Some time ago a pen sion was allowed to Jacob Schibb of Lafayette county. He drew the pension until his death and a war rant was issued for his wife, when Auditor Moore discovered that she was a negress and held it up. The woman claims Schibb had negro blood in his veins, and she was legally married Ito him, and if she makes this proof, Auditor Moore will have no recourse but to allow the claim of the woman and pay her the account owed her by the state

DEPOT FORCE
 IS OVERWORKED

Almost overwhelmed with busi- ness is the force at the local rail- way station, and yet Station Agent ]. w. James has little hope of se- curing any relief, owing to the policy of retrenchment of expenses adopted by the Missouri Pacific system. Although the business of the present summer and fall is at least twenty per cent greater than the same period last year, both in passenger and i'll freight traffic, it being done by an office force of one less clerk than was furnished last year.
 District Agent Williams was here a few days ago to investigate the local situation, but MT. James hardly expects any additional cler- ical assistance ill the near future.

TRIP
 IS BENEFICIAL

A. F. Kuykendall and D. A. Thornton returned early this morn- ing from their swing around the outer edges of Conway's trade ter- ritory in the interest of bringing business to this city. The other members of the party are still out and are not expected to return be- fore Tuesday. The squad divid- ed at Bee Branch, in order to cover more territory. The places visited by Messrs. Kuykendall and Thornton were Wooster, Ken dall, Martinville, Damascus, Bee Branch, Choctaw, Morganton, Madelia, Quitman, Rosebud, Ham, monsville, Pliny, Mt Vernon and Enola. At every farmhouse a package of advertising matter was delivered and a few words in favor of Conway spoken. We met with wonderful encouragement, said MT. Kuykendall." and I be- lieve the trip will be worth much to Conway. At every place we stopped the people told Us they in- tended to come to Conway to do their trading, and they seemed to appreciate the invitation we ex- tended to them. '

GREER STAYS
 BEHIND BARS

Little Rock, Sept 26-Until Monday afternoon at o'clock, at least, w. l.. Greer, who Thursday afternoon stabbed with a paper knife and killed J. w. Reneau, over a collection Greer was eii deavoring to make, will have to remain in the county jail, bond be ing denied him. Greer asked for a preliminary hearing yesterday morning, and it was given him, but Judge Frank Martin, before whom it was held, refused to grant the petition for bond and held Greer to the grand jury on a charge of murder in the first de- gree. Lewis Rhoton then called on Judge F.. w. Winfield in the afternoon, prepared to make fight for writ of habeas corpus, but Judge Winfield, who presides over the civil branch of the circuit court, announced the case belonged in the criminal division. presided over by Judge K. J. Lea, and in the absence of that judge, he would not take a hand in the matter, es- peclally as court opens next Mon day, when the grand jury will con- vene, and the matter can be laid before Judge Lea then.
 Reneau, who was murdered by Greer, was very popular railroad man, and 1t is understood that the railroad men of the city, who are all sworn enemies of Greer, are large sum with the inten- tion of securing the aid of Senator Jeff Davis in the prosecution.

TENDERS HIS
 RESIGNATION
GOV, 6, \. HASKELL W|THORAWS
As Treasurer of National Demo-
 cratic Convention.
Strenuously Denies Hearst Charges, but Quits Position for the Good of the
 Party.

Chicago, Sept. 25.- Gov. Chas. N. Haskell at midnight tonight resigned as treasurer of the Demo cratic National Committee. His resignation was announced by him self in three hours after his arriv- al in Chicago from Guthrie, Okla. |, and after he had conferred with ot- ficials of the Democratic national headquarters.
 That his resignation is the direct result of the charges made against him by Wm. R. Hearst and Presi- dent Roosevelt, MT. Haskell ad- mitted. At the same time he did not, by his resignation, intend to admit that any of the charges were true.
 The Resignation.
 The resignation of Governor Haskell as forwarded to Chairman Mack tonight, reads:
 "Hon. Norman E. Mack, Chair
 man Democratic National Com
 mittee, New York.
 My Dear Sir: In pursuance of information as to your date for re- turn here, when went home before I assumed I would find you here upon my return today. l now learn that you will be detained in the East until Tuesday, and, as l must be home Monday, I leave tomorrow.
 "Since the President and his cabinet have joined forces with Mir. Hearst and three Wall Street brok- CTS to make a personal fight against me, notwithstanding the president in his answer to MT. Bryan aban- doned his charges about Ohio Standard Oil cases, yet by all the means at the command of the government and the millions of Hearst and Wall Street allies, they persist in vicious, unwarranted and untruthful attacks on me-person- ally, I welcome their attacks-and shall meet 1t with all the vigor at my command. 1 shall treat them all as private citizens and subject to the penalties of the law which they merit.
 "In this I know I shall have the aid of my neighbors at home for all proper purposes; but my time must be free from other de- mands here. Again my heart is full of hope oi the election of Bry- an and Kern. Honest govern ment and II Ie by the people is at stake. Important beyond any bat tie in the last generation, is the

EDITORIAL

To say that we are grateful hard ly expresses our feeling over the cordial reception which has been given to our Daily Edition. The circulation is ilicreasing al most more rapidly than we are able to take care oi it, and the adver- tising patronage has been fully up to our expectations. Although the Daily is just completing its second week, it is already on a paying basis and if its business continues as good as it has been at the beginning, it will be perma- nent fixture in Conway.

In the enhancement of real es- tate values the State Normal school has already repaid to the people of Conway the cost of its location here, and the real benefits of the institution are yet to come. Six hundred thousand dollars IS a low estimate of the actual value of real estate in Conway. Ten per cent is a low estimate of the in- crease ill the value of Conway real estate during the past twelve months-twentyhve per cent is nearer the mark. The cost of se- curing the Normal was, in round numbers, 500, 900. Figure it out for yourself.

The Primary System.

An issue that is not an issue between parties is
unquestonably the paramount issue of the campaign
of 1908 in Idaho 1t is issue that has arrayed
all of the democratic party and part of the repubi
party side and part of the republican
party the other side.
The part of the republican party that is arrayed
on the other" side is the part represented by the
machine. The rank and file of the republican party
and the entire of the democratic party stand
together, for there be machine in a minority
party out of power.
Thus great majority of all the people of the state
insstent in their demand that an adequate pri-
mary election system shall be created by the law
makers of Idaho They demand this that the will
of the majority shall be respected in the future,
knowing that it has not been respected in the past
But for the opposition of the republican machine
(to which is allied the entire Mormon establishment
the issue would not be c1ouded by the semblance of
doubt
Two years ago the republican machine in con-
vention assembled, uttered platform declaration
demanding the enactment of primary election law
After the legislature had assembled the same ma
chine, hiding behind an untenable trick of phrase
ology, at the instance of Senator Hepburn and his
associate Bosses compelled the legislature to ignore

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

enormous holdings in timber lands be fully safe
guarded against the rapacty of timber barons to the
end that our public institutions may have the full
benefit of their magnificent grants
We believe that the so-caled Northern Pacific land
script is void and that large amount of other script
used n.the state of Idaho to grab up vast timber
tracts is also void. We demand that the right to
file such script on public lands be contested by
the state in the and that the its lieu
land selections script land in case the courts de-
clare such script.
There is considerable evidence in confederation of
the charges preferred by the convention of ndepend
ents The late republican state convention was
torousy in control of the various organizations
of the state and at the command of its masters the
convention defeated resolution demanding direct
primary election system
1t also entered into deal through which Con-
gresham French was defeated and by which B. F.
O'Neill was Unexpectedly made chairman of the
state committee
The nominated by the convention as its can
didate for governor is known trust booster and
the endorsed for the United States senatorship
is of the same stripe and he sounded the key note
of the convention in one of the most remarkable
speeches ever addressed to political assemblage
He is monopoly and machine rule from surface to
the inner recesses of his anatomy and his associate
senator is standing by him in all things, while
pressing publicly his favor for the rejected primary
election legislation.
The of Troy certainly have grounds for
pcions and they appear to have evidence with which
to back UP their suspicious.
The convention at Troy nominated ticket, but
offered it for filing with the secretary of state
the last day permitted by law and thirty minutes
after the secretary of state had closed his Office
The secretary of state is quite particular about his
office hours and he refused to accept the ticket for
filing The great cause of repubcanism has once
more been indicated The following is the ticket:
Presidential electors-Thomas P Dunson, bust
ness, miner; residence, St. Maries. Benjamin Mario
