"A Hearing Denied.

The Idaho Falls Register is not disposed to drop
the subject of the removal of Mr.. Rounds and it
calls upon Senator Hepburn to make right some
things that not right The Register says:
We would like to ask Senator Hepburn if his
colleague desired the removal of some officer whom
he was satisfied had done nothing to his remov
al or if he even has doubts about it, if it would not
be his duty to demand that investigation be adand
the officer given square deal, given opportun-
lty to defend himself? When Senator Borah was
indicted by the federal grand jury he had an oppor-
tunty of defending himself. He had trial and the
jury said he was not guilty. Mr. Rounds has been
summarlly dismissed from position he was filling
honestly and to the strict letter of the law He has
had no opportunity of making a defense, no oppor-
tunity of showing that he had in any manner done
one official or unofficial act to the injury of Senator
Borah. TO us it seems that if Senator Hepburn
would demand that Mr.. Rounds simply have Justice
meted out to him. that is all Mr. Rounds could
ask, but as he stands there is stigma upon him
that he has no manner of chance to relieve De-
mand a square deal for him from the president,
Senator Hepburn.

The Idaho Falls Register states that three parties

St. Anthony and the Teton basin country and it is
popularity believed that they are working for the

Register specuates further:

In a column article in this weeks Moscow Post
Judge Truitt makes what he calls defense, the to-
tai of which amounts to most pitiabe admission of
weakness and lack of ability and courage. Mr.
Truitt admits that he voted to repudlate the republl
pledged anti-pass BILL and justifes his perfdy
the ground that he forced to do so by
disreputable republican majority under threat that
unless he did, the gang, although pledged to support
the university would betray that pledge and do all in
their power to destroy it. They would kill all appro-
priations And when Judge Trutt makes this adj
mission he has written awful condemnation against
the very gang that the Troy News has been and is
condemnng. Judge Truitt admits that he dared not
do his duty and that if he had would have cost him
everything of interest to his county. Why? Be-
cause the republican party represented by gang
void of all honor lost to all sense of public
duty by men thoroughly rotten and politically
corrupt that they would hesitate to ruin public
schools and destroy colleges.
The whole matter shows conclusively the attitude
of the republican party at this time organized and
manipulated by the Brady Mormon machine 1t is
positive evidence of the untness of the present par
ty leaders to the people and lead the party 1t
proves that the interest of the state is not safe in the
hands of these men. 1t ought to convince any
thoughtful man that the republican party of Idaho,
organized is unworthy of confidence and unfit
to support.
Judge Truitt has given very damaging testi-
mony against the republican party of Idaho, and an
excellent reason why it should be defeated.
1t is a machine method, not confined to Idaho, to
bring pressure to bear upon legislative members
from counties in which public institutions are located
and it seldom fails to bring such members under
control of the machine and strengthen the organiza-
ton. They admonished that there will be no
