WANTS TARIFF
ON SUGAR MADE
MUCH LOMER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.---That
the opinions that had been expressed
by Secretary of War Wright in favor
of free trade with the Philippines
for tobacco and sugar are the views
of President-elect Taft, was the free
ly expressed belief among those pres
ent in the ways and means commit
tee room OF the house today at the
hearing on the sugar schedule OF the
tariff. Secretary Wright's familiar
ity with the situation in the Ameri-
can Asiatic insular possessions leads
to the belief that he will disclose
some interesting facts when he ap-
pears before the committee later.
Edwin f. Atkins of Boston, large
sugar plantation owner in Cuba, told
the committee today that the reci-
procity treaty with Cuba, by which
/ it's products enjoyed 20 per cent
differential in the sugar duties, ex
pires next month. He produced two
cablegrams from cuban sugar anC
tobacco growers asking the commit
tee to defer action on these articles
Atkins urged that the tariff on suga
be reduced and that Cuba be give

BOYCOTT
HEARING
IS over

WASHINGTON, Nov 19.-Argu.
ments in the contempt case of the
Buck Stove and Range company
against Samuel Gompers, Frank Nor
rison and John Mitchell of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor were con-
cluded today. James M. Beck of
counsel for the stove company made
a strong plea for his clients, in which
he closely dissected the injunction Of
the court against the defendants and
sought to show that they had put
themselves in contempt by officially
publishing the company on the 1--WE
Don't Patronize List"
The name of President Roosevelt
and his opinion of the boycott was
injected into the argument of Mr..
Beck, counsel for the defendants, in
timating, but not charging, that it
was an attempt TO improperly in
nuence the court.
RooSEVELT'S OPINION
Mr.. Beck referred to the cruelty
and indefensibility of the boycott and
said:
Il have very high authority for
saying that in very recent public
statement the president of the United
States said that of all forms of op'
preston which man had yet devised
the most cruel is the boycott"
Attorney Ralston, for the defense
objected, saying:
II certainly object to the president
OF the United States being brought
into this discussion We have al
possible respect for him, but he car
not be quoted as an authority OF
matters Of this kind"
Judge Wright overruled the objec
ton, saying:
IL suppose counsel in argumen
has the right to adopt the words 0
another person to convey an idea !
they see INT 20 do SC"
Mr.. Beck thereupon continued hi
argument, and at its close Justic
Wright took the case under advise
ment
A decision is not expected for sev
eral days.

The Political Change.

According to the opinion of Louis F. Post, ex-
pressed in the columns of The Public newspaper
the enemies that Mr.. Bryan has accumulated are
the enemies that every who conjure them
ought to be proud OF. Mr. Post says
Of course the great big fact behind the inspired
clamor against Bryan is the weakening of party dis
tinctions along old political divisions The Demo-
cratic have learned, and the Republican
masses learning, what the financial banditti
learned long ago. that the true political cleavage is
no longer along Republican and Democratic party
lines 1t is between public rights and privileged in
terests Mr.. Bryan stands firmly in spirit (whether
in plan or not is of less immediate Importance to
both sdes) against the aggressions of the interests.
cratic party they are against LaFoette in the
Republican party That they are against him be-
cause his plans may be bad it would be folly to
suppose. They never fear public man with bad
plans being expert about plans themselves; but
they do fear a who has invincible moral
purpose, Bryan has, Be his present plans defective
not if his moral purpose is rigid and his goal the
destruction of the parastcal game upon which they
flourish and for the perpetuation of which they seek
to control all effective party organizations, they fear
him and ridcule him and misrepresent him. This
is the secret of the opposition to Bryan but isn't it
the best tribute the interests could possibly offer?
Of ex-President Cleveland it was once said that
he should be loved for the enemies he had made.
There some truth in the suggestion, for Cleve-
land had made enemies of certain public enemies
But the enemies Cleveland had made, in contrast
with the enemies Bryan has made, WERE public
enemies, awkward pickpocket in Jail to
expert counterfeter at large.

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

Nez Perez and Idaho added to the Mormon coun-
ties give delegates to spare majority.
Again Shoshone and Kootenai and the Mormons
make many than majority
The same results are reached practically, if the
apportionment is made on the vote for any Repub-
1can candidate
The Republican committee might adopt the ante
bellum method of reckoning the slaves of the South,
and base their apportonment the statement that
Mormon should count only as two-ffths of an Amer
lean citizen The Mormons will control the commit
tee meeting, to be sure, but they probably would
not object They seem to be perfectly content to
vote the machine combinations through and to
cept their reward in appointments to Federal and
State jobs.
There many murmurings among the American
citizenship of Idaho The good men and women who
give strength and character to the Republican party
do not relish this combination between the machine
and the Mormons.
Nothing shows so dramatically the utter helpless
of the genuine Republicans of Idaho as the
facts and figures.
1t will be observed that the Mormons will have
no place in the Democratic convention If the ct-
zenshp of the State will stop to consider why the
poygamist and politically dominated crowd the
Republican ticket and refuse to vote the Democratic
ticket believe they would repudiate the corrupt
and degrading combination.

Out-Of=Datc Democrats.

Anticipating the nomination of Mr.. Bryan by the
Democratic convention to be held at Denver next
July, number of out-of-date Democrats have been
in session at New York during the current week
endeavoring to manufacture p1anks for Democratic
platform that will be satisfactory to the interests
This was the last expiring sob of the undemocratic
Democrats that have differences with the Republi
machine that ruled the country up to the advent
of Mr. Roosevelt. They are still piping with weak
voice for platform that will meet their definition
of safe and sane," assuming that Mr..
Bryan is dangerous man and must be fettered be-
fore he can be entrusted with the presidency
1t is rather remarkable exhibition of stupidity
that these should that the mass of the
Democratic party wants Mr.. Bryan for candidate
entirely account of its regard for his person. He
will become the nominee, if at ALL because he repre-
sents a great many principles that are dear to the
people and he cannot be separated, as nominee,
from those principles.
He would not accept the candidacy on any other
platform than representing the progressiveness
that has kept him before the public during the past

The Big Ships.

Admiral Evans and his calvacade of sea-fghters
made impression the Republic of Brazil and
the President of that republic not slow in con-
veyng his congratulations to the President of the
United States who replied with fluctuations that
conveyed something than appreciation of
compliment. Mr. Roosevelt said in his telegram of
reply to the President of Brazil
The warships of America exist for no other pur-
pose that to protect peace against possible aggression
and justice against possible oppression AS between
the United States and Brazil these ships are not
men-of-war, but are messengers of friendship and
good will, commissioned to combine with you in the
ongcontinued and never-to-be- broken amty and mu-
tual helptuness of the two great republics
The Monroe Doctrine was hardly hidden from
sight in this message from Washington and if the
South American republics do not take the hint, they
are too obtuse to respond to treatment. The great
war fleet is powerful object lesson to the nations
of the southern hemisphere after the visit of peace
and amity by Secretary Root.
1t is invitation to combine for mutual defense
and mutual progress against the common enemy of
the Old World and there can be nothing more al
Turing to the weaker nations than this great display
of strength by the Republic of the north
Admiral Evans dined and feted and when he
headed for the inhospitab1e shores of Magellan he
left behind record of mutual interest that will
bear fruit in the future.

MormOns Will Control.

Chairman Brady has issued his call for the Re-
publican State committee to meet at Boise on Feb
ruary 10TH This committee will designate the time
and place of holding the convention to select six dele
gates to the National Republican convention, also
the time and place of holding the convention to nomi
nate State officers, Judges and Congressman.
One of the first duties devolving upon the COM
mttee will be to apportion the delegates which each
county is entitled to send to the State convention.
Perhaps The Scimitar can aid the committee in
this delicate task.
Let us assume that delegates will be apportoned
on the for Governor at the last election which
is the usual method We will assume that one dele
gate is allowed for every 100 Republican votes cast
We believe this is usual but any basis will of neces
sity work out the proportionate results.
Governor Gooding received at the last election
1886 votes One delegate for each 100 of these
votes should make convention of 383 delegates. A
majority of the convention will be 1872
The solid Mormon counties furnished 16493 of
these 1886 Republican CD votes as follows:

Gooding. Stockslager.

Twin Falls County has since been created out of
Cassa and the Gentiles taken OUT that the present
Cassia is all Mormon. These Mormon counties
entitled to 165 delegates if the apportonment is made
on the vote for Governor The Mormons cast nearly
one-half the Republican vote in Blaine and Lincoln
counties and about onethird of the Republican vote
in Canyon These counties together cast 1884 votes
for Gooding, and would be entitled to thirty-eght
delegates. With the strong Mormon influence in
Blaine, Lincoln and Canyon, it would be easy and
natural for them to combine with the solid Mormon
counties. Should they do so they would have
jority of the delegates.
Ada County, which is sufficiently we'll sprinkled
with Mormons now to feel their influence in Re-
publican politics, will have twenty-six delegates.
These and Boise County with six delegates, added
to the solid Mormon counties, will make majority.
Starting with solid vote of 1885, with 1872
ority of all the delegates it will not be difficult for
the brethren" to have their way.
Latah will have twenty-six votes, which Brother
French might be induced to put in the Mormon col
umn
Perhaps the committee may conclude to apportion
the vote for Congressman.
This will not change the situation materially
French received 40, 134 votes of which number
1882 came from the solid Mormon counties, as
follows:

HU Should Read 1t.

D. T. A. Mcintosh, editor of the Kendrick
(Idaho) Gazette, compliments The Scimitar
in the following terms
We wonder how many of Our readers are
subscribers to the Idaho Scimitar, published
at Boise by Senator Dubois and c. E. Arney
We haven't the space to republish all the good
things therein, but think every person in the
country should read this weekly magazine.
The Gazette has always refrained from club
bing with any other paper or magazine for
variety of reasons but is highly tempted to
make such proposition to The Scimitar for
the purpose of getting it introduced to the
families of the Potlatch. Aside from the body
blows which The Scimitar is giving contin-
uously to polygamy, the magazine contains a
variety of information on the current topics of
the day, and also fund of "reminiscences of
the early days of the State.
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-01-25

Allowing delegate for each 100 votes cast for
French would make convention of 421, majority
of which would be 211.
The Mormons would start with 173 and Blaine,
Lincoln and Canyon would easily supply what they
lack; or Latah and Washington would suffice,
Ada and Boise, Ada and Lincoln, Ada and
Lemhi, or if the Mormons wanted to break away
from French and make other combinations it would
be simple to arrange it.

weight, and his face wore a half-fright-

death. He had grown neat black
mustache. Dabner, the youth, was
much thinner than before His face was
so emscisted that his cheek bones stood
out prominently, but otherwise he was
not much changed.
