HAMER HAS A BEE

A report from Boise would indi-
cate that matters political are
beginning to simmer little in
that direction, and a visit Of a num-
Der Of Fremont county men to that
city of whom Colonel Thomas R.
Hamer was one is taken to have
some connection with the candi-
dacy Of Colonel Hamer for congress
to succeed Burton l.. French.
No formal announcement has
been made, but it is believed there
has been some setting up Of stakes.
Members Of the party in addition
to the colonel, are Representatives
J. E. Fogg Of Fremont county and
James Redman Of Bear Lake. Sen
ator j. w. Hart Of Fremont, for
mer Senator c. C. Moore of that
county and James HI Wallish,
editor of the Rexburg Standard.
One OF the party expressed himself
in this manner on the subject:
Congressman French has now
had four terms in the national
house Of representatives, and we
believe that this is time enough in
which to demonstrate his ability"
This man said further that
Fremont would be disposed to favor
Chairman Brady if he should seek
an Office not conflicting with the
other representatives. Fallon of
Kootenai county has recently been
on a tour OF the southwest looking
up his chances for the congressional
nomination. OF him the person
quoted herein said:
He has lots of friends there,
too. He would likely be our second
choice, if we are required to make a
second choice"

much yet to be uncovered, and the
people Of Wallace and Shoshone
county will hold the officials re-
sponsible, if the blame is not
placed where it belongs. Times.
And just as soon as the necessary
investigations commence the same
organ will begin to call the atten.
ton Of its readers to the awful
burden OF debt which the same
county officials are heaping on the
heaos of the devoted taxpayers and
to perplex the community with
such awful questions as: What
single fact is there to justify the
actions Of the county officials?
What iota Of reason is there to
justify the great burden the admin
jstrative officers have heaped upon
the taxpayers?
Then if steps should be taken to
secure the services Of a detective
the officials will be howled at for
swelling the bank account OF the
agency.
When the case at last passes into
oblivion we will be told that it has
been costly lesson for Shoshone
county and the Times will trust
that it has been well learned.
After all it is impossible to please
everybody and the Miner hopes
that the county officials will take
up the problem before them in full
knowledge Of the thanks that they
will receive at the hands Of certain
individuals and alleged organs OF
public sentiment.
We hope that they will prosecute
and investigate this matter to the
bitter end. We hope that they
will prosecute and investigate
every crime that is laid before
them with no regard to whose
bank account may be swelled OF
reduced thereby and we are immov-
able in the opinion that there
is not single right-minded citizen
in Shoshone county who would
grudge one cent Of the money that
may have to be disbursed 70,

MuLAN MUD TnRowER

'The Miner never attempted to
lay blame for the Sunday Rest
Law on the republicans. "-Mullan
Miner.
Nobody ever said that it did.
All that 1t tried to do was to throw
discredit on Representatives A. H.
Conner and Herman ]. Rossi by a
malicious, false and nonsensical
statement to the effect that both
these gentlemen had voted for the
measure.
The regret Of the editor OF the
sheet in question that the name OF
this paper is the same name as
our paper''-which it is not-is
reciprocated here to such an ex-
tent that the name Of this paper
will be changed at the first oppor-
tunity.
The assertion that the Wallace
Miner has made a mastery effort
to protect the Sunday Rest Law
is worthy only Of the man who
makes it, but in view Of the fact
that the man in question is unable
to discern the difference between
protecting law and protesting
against it further comment would
be only an unnecessary waste Of
time and space.

IN GOOD NEW YORK

They are getting things straight
ened out in New York state and
paying more attention TO the re.
quirements and wishes of the pub
lie.
When your gas bill is bigger than
you think it ought to be you don't
have to take the word Of the gas
manufacturers that the meter is
doing its duty and no more. In
stead, you write to the Public Ser
vice Commission and one of its
representatives sees that the poor.
overworked meter is made right at
once.
If the street railway people don't
give you enough cars and use up an
hour to get you to your home when
they ought to do it in half an hour
all you have to do is to call this to
the attention of the Public Service
Commission, and, that same day,
the railroad company receives
notice to put on enough cars and
run them on schedule time; or
show reason why it should not
forfeit its charter.
And that is not all. When the
commission has acted you are
asked il you are satisfied. II you
aren't satisfied, you are given every
fair chance to insist upon having
things set right. These are only
two examples Of the bigger show
now being given to the rights Of
the individual by the newly created
state bodies known rs the Public
Service Commissions.
Truly the millennium is dawning.

BRYAN. AN INCUBUS

AS the Miner mas always pre-
dicted, the next election will be
lost to the democrats on account Of
the inevitable splits in the party"
The splits have already begun in
Kentucky as well as in few other
states but 80 far comparatively
little has been heard about the
solid for Bryan" business except
from a comparatively few over
worked imaginations in this immed-
late locality.
The following extract taken from
one Of the leading eastern papers
tends to show just about exactly
where Mr.. Bryan really does stand.
OF course our well meaning but
misguided democratic brethren in
this locality will Immediately claim
that this is taken from a republican
paper but in order to avoid any
little mistakes of.this sort we would
like to point out that the paper in
question has been referred to in
certain quarters as the handbook
of democracy
Have you heard the democratic
party making a doleful sound?
Many organs, which assume to
speak by the authority OF that or
ganization, deplore Mr.. Bryan.
The party, they say, doesn't want
him at all. He il an incubus
an Old Man of the Sea, who has
mysteriously secured a seat upon
the PROSTATE neck Of democracy
and refuses to get off.
They pathetically point out
that the party would stand a splen-
did show next year if only Mr..
Bryan would get out of the way
and give some acceptable candidate
a show at the nomination; but,
still more pathetically, they opine
that Mr.. Bryan will not do it, and
and the party must once more &c
weltering down to ruin under his
disastrous banner.
''Agreat party with an incubus
is certainly a melancholy spectacle
We do not recall that one was ever
afflicted in that manner before.
The case is beyond the reach Of
surgery, because what gives the
Old Man Of the Sea his strange
hold upon the party is simply his
popularity among the members Of it.
What those who deplore Mr.. Bryan
really mean is that they fear a
majority OF democrats will insist
upon nominating him; that he can
get more votes than anybody else.
What they want him to do is to
persuade many democrats that they
are mistaken in deeming him the
most available candidate. We
doubt whether the Nebraskan could
conscientiously do it.
we hardly think 1t physically
possible for an incubus to amputate
itself"
This is the entering Of the wedge
that will ultimately rend the
whole in twain. Bryan has always
been regarded in the light of a
non plus ultra" Of democracy and
even now the party is beginning to
bewail the fact that its best might
be just little better. And the
best being what it is by admission
of its own strongest partisans,
what words can we find to describe
what the worst might be?
There would appear to be no
immediate danger of the party
amputating Mr.. Bryan. That
gentleman will certainly be the
next candidate of his party for the
presidency and will thereby am
putate the party.

RESISTS THE LAW
Chambers Case of Apparently Or
binary Nature Results in Lively
Mix-up, With Two Arrests
for Assault.

About two weeks ago Dr.. H. Anderson
condemned two horses owned by Peter
Schumer, a farmer living 16 miles south
of town. for glanders and ordered the
animals to be killed. Reuben Lyon was
named as executioner and went out to
perform his duty as soon as he got the
order from the officials.
When MI. Lyon got to the Schumer
farm he was told by the owner that only
one of the horses was to be killed and
that the other was to be placed in quar-
antine for a period of ten days in order
to make sure that it was a case of CLAN
ders. He returned after killing one
horse and made his report to the veter-
mary and other officials. The veterinary
was surprised when he learned that only
n of the horses had been killed and
he again notified the officials that the
second horse had a clear case of CLAM
ders and should have been killed with
the other.
Mr.. Lyon vent u again to kill the
second horse and met with a warm
reception at the Schumer home. He
listened to the same quarantine story
for a few minutes and then tried to con-
vince the owner that the diseased horses
must be killed. This started real trouble
between Mr.. Lyon and Mr.. Schumer and
his son, Frank. Mr.. Lyon was warned
not to touch the horse and was threatened
with harsh treatment if he attempted to
destroy the diseased animal.
Mr.. Lyon was simply trying to perform
his duty and was not looking for trouble
from any source so he returned to the
city and made his second report, which
was duly considered by the officials.
On Saturday Mr.. Lyon made his third
trip to the Schumer farm, this time Fin
company with Deputy Sheriff Brown.
who was armed with warrants for:..the
arrest of the two Schumers. The Schum-
ers were placed under arrest and the
diseased horse was killed inspire Of the
protests of the owner. -~
In court before Police Magistrate van
der Las Wednesday the Schumers were
given a hearing on the charge Of simple
assault. The case against Peter Schumer
was dismissed but mis- son. Frank, was
found guilty and fined S. with costs,
amounting in all to $41. 40. The fine
was small and the costs were very
moderate for the amount of trouble
caused. Frank Schumer could have
been arrested on the charge of assault
with a dangerous weapon as the testi-
mony showed that he drew a gun on Mr..
Lyon and threatened to use 1T if Mr..
Lyon ATTEMPTED to kill the horse.
