Embarrassing a Judge.

To the Occur dA1ene Press it appears that the
Mormons of Idaho have created situation that Will
be exceedingly embarrassing to one of the justices
of the state supreme court
The fact that the boiling democrats at Wallace
left the office of supreme court judge vacant on
their ticket, puts Judge Ailshie in an embarrassing
position in he is called upon to decide which IS
the regular democratic ticket, decision III favor
of the boilers would leave him without an opponent
in the field while decision in favor of the regular
democrats would place an opponent in the field
against him. The situation produces another good
argument for separating the judiciary from politics
by holding judicial elections on different dates from
the regular political elections 1t was not only unjust,
but unprinciped to drag supreme court Judge into
their political ire in this way and shows that the
rump convention holds political trickery above Ju-c
dicia1 honor The boilers evidently left the office OF
supreme Judge vacant with view OF influencing
Ailshie. We believe him to be too honorable to De
caught in their trap

The following article published in the Cald-

SOCIALISTS ASSAlL PRESIDENT
Convention Refuses to Sanction Letter
Scoring Roosevelt After Hot Debate.

Chicago, May 14.-An open letter
addressed to President Roosevelt, Sc
verely scoring the president for his
alleged disparaging remarks about So
cialists in his last message to con.
gress, caused lively debate at the So.
cialist national convention. The let.
ter was submitted by G.. A. Hoehn of
st. Louis, who asked that it be adopt
ed by the convention and that copy
Of II be mailed to President Roosevelt.
The trouble was precipitated by
Chairman Spargo of the committee on
resolutions, who, in making his report
on the resolutions presented to the
committee, tried to omit the reading of
the letter assailing the president with
the explanation that the committee
had instructed him not to go to the
trouble Of reading the document, ow-
Ing to the "preposterous statements"
contained in 1t. Several delegates i'm
mediately objected to this procedure
After spirited discussion a motion
that the letter be read was carried
amid great enthusiasm. A long debate
followed the reading of the letter.
When the final vote was taken, Il
appeared that majority of the dele
gates agreed with the leaders, who
held that the letter was not proper in
tone nor In diction to be sent from a
national convention to the president
Of the United States, and by a decisive
vote refused to sanction 1t.
