BRADY FOR GOVERNOR.

1t is interesting to know that the
press of Idaho Is, with scarcely an
exception, in favor of James H.
Brady's candidacy for governor
Here and there one notes a sugges-
ton Of preference for some other
republican, but in no place though
reading through the exchanges very
carefully, is there any reason to be-
lieve he Is either discredited or op-
posed.
1t Is rather favorable sign when
man can so completely win the APP
prevail Of his party In the present
case it happens to be the fruit of a
consistent course of fairness. Mr..
Brady has had his fights and he has
not always been successful But he
has so borne himself in them that the
republicans he opposed are today his
firmest and strongets supporters.
That is the test Of good man.
Utah republicans are interested in
the Idaho campaign. 1t is to be
hoped a very decided verdict may be
recorded there in favor of the party
of progress and national efficiency.
1t is to be hoped the good people of
Idaho may express themselves un-
mistakably against Dubois and his
little band Of malcontent defamers.
A big republican victory will he the
very best means imaginable.
And 1t seems they are inclined to
regard Mr. Brady as their standard
bearer-the captain who shall lead
them in the overthrow of the enemy.

opportunities for work to the worthy
who seek it,
Speaking of a presidential year,
nothing tends as strongly to throw a
party out of power as large number
of unemployed. This class invaria-
bly, lines up with the opposition. They
feel that the times are totally out of
joint as far as they are concerned,
and that they assuredly want a
change. Whatever brings the man
and the job together is a fortunate
stroke for the country, as well as for
him. Changes occur in business at
all times that cause some loss of en-
ployment Some industries flourish
for a season and then dwindle Such
eases are unavoidable On the whole
the general tendency in the United
States is expansive. There should be
steady endeavor to aid workers to
get employment. Politicians should
look to it. Parties should exert their
influence to the utmost to provide
remedies for enforced idleness. A
party that encourages hard times,
hoping to win thereby, is false
proposition, a base guide. but the I'M
employed will listen to it if denied
the helpful interest they have right
to expect

in his remarkable persistency, but nc
relief of this kind is in sight at pres
ent. Prominent Democrats are reluc-
tant to try for the nomination, know.
ing that If they should get it they
would suffer the fate of Parker, as
there is no doubt that Bryan would
knife them in this campaign and at
the polls in the same fashion
Bryan was beaten in 1896 by 60O,-
900 and in 1900 by 500. 1000. Through
the detection Of the Bryan support
Parker was overwhelmed by $780,
600. These are the horns of the di-
lemma. Defeat awaits the party
either way. But it does not seem to
realize that it must tear loose from
Bryan positively before it can hope
to command confidence in the ma
tional field. This sundering must in
evitably come, but when or how does
not appear at this time. Perhaps
another defeat will bring 1t about,
but that Bryan will ever voluntarily
let go of the party, or genuinely sup
port any man for president whom he
could not name or control is improb-
able. When the party summons
courage enough to defy his leader
ship and act for itself 1t will bring
the situation to a point. No doubt it
will be stormy, but storms clear the
atmosphere.

DANGER OF IDLENESS.

From various sources the country
over We are being informed Of the es-
timated number of men in enforced
idleness. Many of these are purpose
ly exaggerated for political purposes
and others for the reason that it is
the mission of the yellow journal to
pile on the agony whenever possible,
depending on sensationalism for in
creased circulation.
1t is true that industry is some
what disturbed by the sudden finan-
cial arrangement of last fall, which
seems to have been mainly the result
of vague doubts that have been
proved groundless. The banks,
whose general stability had been de-
scribed by yellow alarmists as in
volved in frenzied finance, weathered
the storm, and most of the few that
suspended have resumed. But bust
ness has been incidentally affected to
some extent by the exceptionally
close scrutiny of credit and the con-
sentative feeling toward new ven
lures. Commercial failures during
the last six months have been more
than ordinarily heavy, which means
that the support extended has been
placed under stricter limitations. A
period of rigid liquidation has oc-
Cured. In addition, this is a presi-
Dental year, proverbially unfavor-
able to business expansion. The Pc
ri0d OF reckoning will run its course
and its general effects in the end will
be salutary.
But, in the meantime, many faith
full and valuable wOrkers-and all
who are earnest and Industrious can
be so classified-may be thrown out
Of employment, which is matter
that demands more thought and &C.
tive effort than 1t receives. These
are the heaviest sufferers from the
furry, for their means OF subsistence
are at stake. They simply seek a
chance to help themselves by diligent
and efficient labor, and 1t is strange
in a country like this, II they can not
find a place to exchange what they
offer for a livelihood. 1t is sacred
duty to give a careful hearing to a
self-respecting person who asks for
work. II there is chance he should
get it. Perhaps valuable sugges-
ton can be offered. At all events
there should be more consideration
shown than a cold, automatic shake
of the head. To a man out of en-
ployment the day goes by barren
loss. The community also loses his
days work. 1t Is worse than un-
profitable to all concerned. Each cit
izen should do what he can to open

"BRYAN OR BUST" POLICY.

There is now in the Democratic
party, as for twelve years past, a
fundamental trouble that has not
been settled, but that will have to be
cleared away some day with a severe
wrench to the party. 1t may be pos
sible during another quadrennial
period to edge around the matter and
defer the final trial of strength, but
1t must come at last according to the
nature Of human affairs. A large
number of Democrats have never
been reconciled to Mr.. Bryan and his
populistic theories and never will be.
They hesitate to break away definite
ly, hoping that something will occur
to end the Bryan spell on the party,
or that the man himself will weaken

MIR. BRYAN DECLINES

1t is not often that Mr.. Bryan de-
clines an invitation to attend ban
quet and speak his piece. But he
did SO recently; he refused to attend
the jefferson banquet in New York.
1t is said there are interesting rea-
sons at the back of his refusal. We
do not know. We only know that
it was stated in the dispatches that
he would not speak in New York,
because other democratic lum-
inaries had been shown some pre-
ferences in the speaking arrange
ment. The committee should have
known that Mr. Bryan could not have
been less than the star performer
and that it was out of the question
for him to remain silent.
Think of the peerless William,
who bowed low at the feet OF the
crowned heads of Europe, Asia and
Africa; who kissed the. toe of the
pope, sang "heil-le HELLO" with the
German kaiser, salaamed the pasha,
received the regrets of King Edward
and hobnobbed with others of dis
tinction being assigned to a second
place. Think of this distinguished
orator attending mere plebeian
hog and hominy feed with muzzle
on. 1t is enough to make the gods
hold their sides and the angels shed
their wings.

THREE SHOT DOWN IN
BED ON RANCH EAST
MURDER FOR ROBBERY AND
REVENGE SUSPECTED
Former Rough Rider " \ Roosevelt
at San Juan Hill Meets Tragic
Death In New York
State
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
MATTEAWAN, N. Y, May 16.-W. B.
Shepherd, living four miles south of
here, his wife and servant girl, were
found dead in their home today. 1t Is
believed that they were murdered. An
infant was found in it's cradle nearby
unharmed. All the victims had been
shot. Shepherd was dealer in squads
and his place was called the Royal
SQUAD farm. Both he and his wife
were 35 years old. The tragedy was
discovered by a Pole employed by Shep-
herd and he gave the alarm.
Shepherd came from Kansas about
five years ago and had served in the
Rough Riders during the Spanish war.
He had told friends here that he was
the third man from Roosevelt IN the
charge on San Juan hill.
There Is evidence that the house had
been ransacked from top to bottom by
the murderer or murderers. The Off
GERS were of the opinion that the mo-
tive for the triple murder was robbery
and. possibly, revenge. The police are
searching for a farm hand who worked
for Shepherd and disappeared about
two days ago, after a violent quarrel
with his employer.
The police have made one arrest in
connection with the case, and another
man is under surveillance. However,
no direct charges have been preferred,
and a posse with bloodhounds is
searching the country for the as
sassin.
A repeating shotgun was apparently
the means of the murders.
Frank Zastera, farm hand who
had been employed only two days on
the place, discovered the bodies short
ly after the shooting and gave the
alarm. Zastera is said to claim occult
powers and, according to statements
of the victims friends, predicted In
Shepherds presence that in two weeks
time two men would come TO the farm
and kill every one on 1t.
Frank Crooks, who Is held, was cap
tured this afternoon near Freehold
and is in jail at that place. Blood
stains were found on his clothing, but
Crooks, who is also a farm hand, says
these came from killing chickens. The
stained garments will be sent to a
chemist for examination and the pris-
oner will be kept in custody pending
the result of the examination and of
the inquest, which will be held next
Saturday afternoon.
The police are looking for farm
hand who was employed on the Shep-
herd farm until recently. He Is said
Ia have ouarreled with Shepherd, and
a man said to resemble MIN was seen
about the farm early today.
Zastera was brought to the county
iail at Freehold tonight and held as a
witness. He is said to have told con-
fiictinR stories.
