AS TO THE RAILROADS,
A Concise Explanation Of the Democratic
Position on This Subject.

The Democratic party would
distinguish between those railroad
owners, directory and managers
who, recognizing their obligation
to the public, earn their salaries
by conscientious devotion. to the
work entrusted to them, and those
unscruplous "Napoleons of FL
nance" who use railroads as mere
pawns, in a great gambling game
without regard to the rights of
employees or the interests of the
patrons. 1t is in the interest OF
honest railroading and legitimate
investment that the Democratic
party seeks to ascertain the pres
ent value Of the railroad proper
ties and to prevent for the future
the watering of stock and the is
sue of fictitious capitalization,
and it IS in the interest of both
the railroads and that it seeks
only such reductions in transpor-
tation rates as can be made with
out wage reduction, deterioration
in the service and without injus-
tice to legitimate investments.
The Democratic party insists that
in the matter of regulation of
railroads both the State govern
ment and Federal government
shall act up to, and yet within
their powers; for nothing else will
restore the confidence and good
will that ought to exist between
the railroads and the people. In
dealing with manufacturing and
trading corporations the Democ.
racy draws a distinction between
those corporations-and they con.
stitute the great majority of all
the manufacturing and trading
corporations-which are engaged
in a Legitimate effort to supply
what consumers need, and the very
few corporations which IRE seek
ing by consienceless methods te
take advantage of the public OF
the one hand, while en-the othe1
they bankrupt competitors, OPP
press the producers of raw mate
rails and deal arbitrarily with
theiremployes. 1t endeavors te
protect Innocent corporations by
visiting punishment upon thos'
corporations which are guilty Q
infracsions of the moral and tn,
statute law. Here, too, our plat
form Is specific and no Cal
use its language to brighten an,
business man whose transaction
are fair ard whose income is hon
estly earned,-From Mr.. Bryan
recent speech at Peoria, III.

A white man who gave the
police his name as W. NJ. Parker,
complained a few days since of
being robbed at a negro boarding
house where he had stopped. The
man claimed to be an ex-U. S.
soldier of the civil and other dis
turbances. The next town he
goes to some one should hand him
a directory of the boarding houses
managed by white people.

The Republicans have nominat-
ed their county ticket and we
don't think we are cup agains it,
very hard. There are some good
men and excellent citizens on this
ticket, but this seems to be a
Democratic year and there is little
or no hope for the SUCCESS of our
friends. MI. Houston will prob
ably make the best run of any
man on the ticket, but he will get
nothing like the vote he received
two years ago. All the same we
do not want to be so confident as
to neglect to keep busy.

Charity go hand in hand with Zeal.
To be furious in religion is to be If
religiously religious. Truth for author
ity, not authority for truth. Christ's
kingdom upon earth comes not by
stress Of law or by force Of arms. Men
are attracted by the power Of love, but
they cannot be driven towards the
driver, when coercion is introduced
into any sacred work; at that moment
it loses its sacredness and is no longer
the work of God. The truth OF religion
is never presented by physical force.
Beware Of that kind OF loyalty which
leads to partisanship and bitter sectar-
ianism. The cruelty Of savages is not
equal to the cruelty Of saints who think
it their duty to torment their fellow
creatures. -Olof Pearson.

How to Become Rich.

In order to become rich it is neces.
sary merely to follow the perfactly sim
pie procedure of any king Of finance.
Thus:
Borrow all the money you can upon
the property you already owe.
With the money buy more property.
Combine the two properties, float a
loan, and with the money buy third
property.
Merge the three properties, use the
merger as security for loan, and with
the money buy another large property.
Consolidate this with the others, Sc
lect board Of directors, and authorize
yourself to float twice as much stock
as there is.
Sell this stock and with the money
buy five or six more properties.
Organize a holding company which
will carry the stock of all the properties.
You are now so wealthy and inhuen-
tial that you do not need to make any
more loans.
Increase the stock OF your properties
AMI sell bonds upon them.
Authorize yourself to buy everything
IN sight with this money.
Now you will have control of every-
thing; also you will have the say so in
any number Of subsidiary companies
and controlling voice in eight or nine
insurance companies and national
banks.
After this there doesn't seem TO be
much for you to do except to get the
dyspepsia, get bald and prattle gently
about the excellence Of moral prov
cribs. Lille.

The eleventh annual report OF Secre-
tary OF Agriculture James Wilson,
made public recently, shows that the
farm production for 1907 is well up to
the average in quantity, while its value
is much above that Of the preceding
year. The total value OF farm products
in 1907 is S7.412,000, 900, which is
10 per cent greater than the total of
1900 and II per cent above that of
1905. The chief crops are corn, hay.
cotton, wheat and oats in the order
named. The seven leading cereal
crops produced 4, l35, 900, 900 bushels,
a loss OF per cent below the five-year
average. The value however, is 81
1878, 900, 900, gain Of % per cent
above the five-year average. The ami
mails sold from farms in 1907 were worth
$l,270,000, 900, while the dairy, poul-
try and egg products are estimated at
u, 400, 900, 900. The irrigated area
now under cultivation is 100000
acres and the crops grown on this area
in 1907 are worth not less than S175.
QUO, 900. The report is one that
should be very gratifying and encour-
aging to the American people at this
time.-West Coast Trade.

LAW DENYING, AS USUAL.
(Snokesman-R eview)

Seldom has there been more an
archistic utterance than that OF c. E
Mahoney, acting president Of the
Western Federation OF Miners, in re-
gard to the proposed application to the
federal courts for an order dissolving
the Coldfeld miners union. Mr..
Maboney said:
ANY judge or set ofmen who fancy
that the Goldield miners union will
tamely submit to such procedure is
greatly mistaken. l would favor ig-
noring any such order from any court
in existence. Injunctions have come
to be a mere joke to the American
people, and this would be the biggest
joke Of all. We shall fight it with
every weapon at our disposal. There
would be nothing else for us to do"
This is direct defiance Of the right
and the power OF the nation to proceed
against a body whose acts are alleged
to be lawless and to destroy it because
of its lawlessness. II it shall be proved
that the miners union is lawless or
ganization it has no right to live, and
not all the threats and denunciations OF
the officials or members OF the union
can give it that right.
Let it be imagined that John D.
Rockefeller, E. H. Hartman or the
heads OF any OF the trusts that have
been under prosecution for alledged il
legal practice and methods had made
use OF language similar to that OF Mr..
Mahoney, and what a public outcry
there would had been among the most
violent in denouncing them. And CEN
sure OF the most severe kind would
have been as deserved as it is in this
instance. The trusts may fight in the
courts to prove, if they can, that
charges Of illegability are unfounded.
The miners union may try to prove
that it is not a lawless organization.
But neither trusts nor unions have
right to say they will not submit to
procedure in the courts or that they
will ignore an order issued by the
courts and fight it with every weapon
at there disposal"
An unlawful trust and an unlawful
union are on exactly the same footing.
Law and justice and the interests OF
the people demand the dissolution Of
one as well as the other. In his de-
tiance Of the power Of the state TO
subdue lawlessness, when it shall be
proved to exist, Mr.. Mahoney exempli-
fies anew the main underlying prin-
ciple Of the Western Federation of
Miners.

A statement from State Treasurer
Hasting shows that for the year 1906
the State Of Idaho received in interest
on state funds $9,267.69. For 1907
the interest earnings on state funds
amounted to$18, 226.94. Thus are
the benefits OF Governor Gooding's
depository law exemplifed. Before
the republican party passed this law
the state lost all this interest. Mr..
Hastings has reason to feel proud of
the showing he is making.

One Of these days some one is going
to get into trouble over the violation oil
the Pure Food law. The law requires
that pound OF butter must weigh 10
ounces and two pound roll 80 ounces.
This week The News editor visited
several local stores and saw rolls weighed
that were a quarter Of pound short.
In somes cases the rolls bore no name,
did not state the weight, and violated
the law in every particular. Both the
butter maker and the merchant are
liable to arrest and punishment. To
comply with the law is only common
honesty and if those violating it get
caught they will need no sympathy.
