APPEAL To
GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. THE
first blow in the fight against the
Hartman lines was delivered in
the Mississippi congress to-
day by the California Traffic associ-
alton, which introduced a resolu-
ton condemning control Of Pacific
steamship lines by transcontinental
railroads, asserting the service is
insufficient and not such as the
traffic justifies.
The resolution asks the govern
ment to establish a federal line OF
ships between all coast points, to
the Panama canal and western
coast of South America.
The establishment of a govern
ment line is urged strongly and its
advantages set forth at length. The
resolution was referred to a COM
mittee, in which hard fight is ex-
pected.
The Hawaiian delegation intro
duced a resolution deprecating the
disappearance of the American
flag from the Pacific ocean, and
urged the government to create a
ship subsidy for development Of
shipping interests In the Pacific.
They say the japanese have cap
tured the trans Pacific trade, and
that the American government
must meet its obligation to sustain
itself in competition which has
driven ships bearing the Stars and
Stripes out of business.

Judge Hinkle this morning grant
ed a demurrer to the complaint of
Ed ID. Smith and the other indie
pendent scavengers against the
city of Spokane. The complaint
is attacked in that the plaintiff has
no legal capacity to sue; that sew

was not commenced within the
time limited by law.
The scavengers asked per-
manent injunction against enforce
ment of the garbage ordinance

Realizing that the city must
eventually buy the ground, the wa

by the board of public works to
proceed to place permanent foun-
datlons underneath the two houses

The Calculation Spoiled.

Twin Falls Brother Nugent, after accomplishing a
total of 134 in some of his occult mathematics ex-
planned, saying:

Owyhee and should not have been counted, the
delegates from that county stood upon plat

nized. No fair minded man, however, claim that
it belonged to the Dubois faction, taking it away
from McKinley's 1874, he is left with only 1873.
The seventh vote of Owyhee county employed by
Mr. Nugent in his mathematical calculation was the
vote of John Connors, of Silver City, delegate
from Owyhee county to the Twin Falls convention
Over the phone wire, Mr. Connors said to The
Scmitar:

Every one in Idaho who is honest with himself
knows that the Mormons in Idaho and elsewhere
will vote for Taft. Nobody knows it better than the
bolters The Idaho democrats will make their state
ticket for the enforcement of the constitution, and
incorporate declaration for this in the plainest
language at the Wallace convention The Idaho
democrats will not abae particle of their efforts
for the enforcement of the constitution of the
and for the determination of polygamy.
The Idaho democracy does not expect any more
Mormon votes for its state ticket than it has re-
ceived in the past, yet, Notwithstanding this fact
it will elect its state ticket The state ticket and
the presidential electors ticket will receive practically
the same vote in southeastern Idaho and where the
Mormons this vote will be the Gentle
vote, and will be given the democracy because of its
stand against polygamy and for the enforcement of
the constitution of the state.
Immediately after the Wallace convention it will
be in order for the boilers and the Mormons to
begin to explain why the Mormons will vote for
Mr.. Taft and against Mr.. Bryan. The really simple
and easy explanation is that the Deseret News has
already officially instructed the Mormons to vote
for Mr.. Taft.

Wants the Succession Guarded.

Idaho's neighbor Senator Jonathan Bourne
of Oregon, Roosevelt boomer first last and all the
time, has recovered sufficiently from the effects of
a long period of solitude to announce his fealty to
Mr.. Taft. But he is endeavoring to impress upon
Mr.. Taft the very grave necessity for assurance
in the letter of acceptance that he will positively
select his successor.
The advice thus freely offered will lead the public
to believe that Mr.. Bourne suspects that the at
tempted republican succession not brought about
in democratic way. If SO, his alteration of the
presidential incumbent must be tempted by mis-
givings somewhat acute, for he is asking Mr.. Taft
not to do what Mr.. Roosevelt has evidently been
guilty of in seemingly reprehensible way.
By the laws of the state in which Mr.. Bourne has
his abiding place, partyism is made such fppity
foppity thing that does not become caoused
to methods before the aspect changes, and he is
unduly sensitive in spots methods that have
become time honored in republican practice.
Under the precedents, Mr.. Taft ought not to
be committed to a policy that would prevent him
from removing obstacles from the pathway of
Mr. Roosevelt, should he choose to stroll in the
direction of the white house during the summer and
autumn of 1912
Mr.. Bourne's Oregon training has not sufficiently

Will Maintain Order.

With the ready facility for lying that entities
one to membership in the oath-bound alliance with
sin, the Jack Mormons of Boise have opened a
new can of Misrepresentation and forwarded its
contents to the political headquarters of Shoshone
county.
They are preparing the way for their own con-
templated exhibition of awessness at the Wallace
convention by circulating the statement that the
regular democratic organization of the state in
tends to follow the disreputabe policy instituted
by the Jack Mormon minority at the Twin Falls
convention.
They allege that Harry Day and some others
have announced their intention to pack the Wallace
convention, to the exclusion of the agents of the
saints and the confusion of the holy twenty-six
of the temple at Salt Lake.
AS product of malignant treason against the
welfare of the state, the latest concocon of printed
untruths ranks along with the common efforts of
the po1ygamous brood that is continually fouling
its own nest at this sub-station of the hierarchy
There will be no trouble at Wallace, unless it
is preciptated by the same kind of awessness that
was imposed the first state democratic conven-
ton by the minority mob If the discredted boilers
go there with the intention of invoking trouble

In the screed that has been given publication in
Shoshone county is the following paragraph:
S. P. Donnelly, national committeeman of the
democratic party from this state, is quoted saying
that Harry Day has arranged with the sheriff of
Shoshone county for the appointment of deputy
sherffs for duty during the coming democratic
state convention and I'VE propose to control that
convention if we have to force in doing it"
Through some of intention the authors
of the article from which the foregoing paragraph
was taken have Appropriated the truth. Mr..
Donney made no use of the word control" He
said that order would be maintained in the Wallace
convention-that it would be efficiently policed
Little wonder that he, or any other under
local responsibility should say that after the
assault of the ruffians of the church upon the re-
representatives. of the democratic party at Twin Falls
Whether or not Mr.. Day has had any consuta-
ton with sheriff of Shoshone county, The Scimitar
cannot say, as the subject has not been preached
in its presence Possibly the sheriff has heard OF,
or read of, the disgracefu conduct of the boiling
minority at Twin Falls and has deemed it necessary
to prepare for emergencies
1t was customary, twenty thirty years ago,
when sheriff learned that raid contemplated
on his county by the James brothers or the Dalton
gang to have posse conveniently at hand
The sheriff of Shoshone county will not be
blamed if he takes such precautionary measures as
experience may suggest or circumstances may de-
mand.

pathizers in the north if they sincere IN their
protest against the intention of the officers to main
