1t was a foregone conclusion that
II the republicans Of Kentucky
ever elected governor Caleb Powers
the alleged murder OF Guebel would
be pardoned. This prediction has
become true and both Powers and
Howard are free men. The former
was convicted a couple Of times and
the last trial the jury disagreed.
More than likely they are guilty as
charged, but there would al~ays haye
been doubt in the minds of many
as 10 their guilt 10 case they. were
hangd. so 1t Is better no doubt that
they be freed by the board OF pardons
as has been done.

At the tine this Is written The
Recorder does not know the outcome
OF the Eight In the committee over
the anti-inJuDction plank. 1t was
thought the plank could be re-writ-
ten TO be satisfactory to both labor
and the manufacturers. In other
words the text be so juggled that 1t
could be read forwards to please the
laboring man, and when 1t came to
the manufacturer read back wards so
that both will be equally pleased.

This campaign will be the first In
the history Of the United States
when the retiring president has die
tated the candidate for president
written the platform and said who
should be The choice for second place.
President Roosevelt has created a
precedent which, II followed out by
future presidents, would destroy the
very fundamental foundation OF free
dom.
The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1908-06-25

In some OF the speeches made at
the recent convention President
Roosevelt received credit for all the
good things which have happened TO
tie country In the past seven years
but none gave u as their opinion
that he created the panic. In fact
nothing was said about this affair.
When man dies nothing Is TO be
said about him only that which Is
good. and this rule Will work In ref
erence to a retiring president.

The Boise Mormon democrats
claim they will carry the fight to the
Wallace convention. The party Is
given to understand that If the anti
polygamy plank is In the Denver
platform the only thing the Idaho
democrats must do at Wallace will be
to endorse the national platform but
must make no other reference to the
Mormon question or there will be an
other walkout. Since the Ada bunch
has already walked out of one con-
vention what right have they to try
to be declared legal In another con-
vention. 1t might not be good pol
Icy to do so, but the democratic party
has a legal and moral right to declare
that Ada county has no seats In the
Wallace convention. They forfeited
that right when they walked out of
the invention at Twin Falls.

1t will be an interesting study to
compare the ntterances Of Karl Payne

not believe what he said when he

Recorder will make a comparison of

Low TAXES. LARGE COMMERCE
WANTED.

Taxation and m are the two
great problems of government. and the
duty of craftsmanship is to keep n
at the lowest and the other at the high
est level.
All parties admit that to support the
great expense of the national govern
ment we must maintain tariff duties.
The Republican party contends that in
fixing such taxes the purpose should
be to protect manufacturers with reve-
nue. as an incident thereto. The Demo-
cratic party contends that in fixing the
tax the purpose should be to raise reve-
nue. with protection only as an incident.
If the Republican principle prevails, as
it does now, the tariff duties are so
adjusted as TO raise the smallest amount
Of revenue and furnish the highest
amount of protection. In other words,
the duties are so adjusted as to give
out of the sums paid by the people on
account of tariff taxes the smallest
possible amount to the general govern
ment, and the largest amount to the
