1t is well nst to make faces at or
sighting remarks about parsons who
look the part of foreigners. Ghey may
be subjects of governments that are
touchy. Calling one of the least Of
these harsh name or biting him
lightly o. the ear may bring on .ister-
aational complications. Some Of the
governments that Day no attention to
their subjects when ct home unlsks
they organize bread n4ots or ask iy
low, polite voices for universal sui
frage, get mighty touehy when the
subject has Let them fer a country
that he thinks he will like better.
Then his liberty and purssit OF happi.
ness cause muck tender solicitude.
They may step or him at home, but
over hers they want his rights pro-
tected in three languages. Tears well
up in the eyes of gentlemen whose
breasts look like pawnshop windows
by reason of their display of medals,
while secretly they wish we were so
small that they could lick us. How
ever, there may be more method in
their solicitude than would appear to
a person up tree. If their wandering
boy doesn't get good Job how can he
continue to send money to the old
folks and thus help to keep down the
poor rates?

st. Petersburg General Stoessel
was condemned to death Thursday by
military court for the surrender OF
Port Arthur to the Japanese.
General Fock, who commanded the
Fourth East Siberian division Of Port
Arthur, was ordered reprimanded for
disciplinary offense which was not
connected with the surrender. and .
General Smyrnoff, acting commandSG
of the fortress, and Major Generai-
Reiss, chief of staff to General Stoessel.
were acquitted of the charges against
them for lack of proof.
The court recommended that the
death sentence upon Lieutenapt Cen
eral Stoessel be commuted to ten years
Imprisonment in a fortress, and that he
be excluded from the service.
General Voder, president Of the
court, read the sentences amid tense
silence. BY great effort of self-con-
troll, General Stoessel maintained rigid,
soldier-like impassivity. General Smyr-
noff was seemingly unmoved, but there
were tears in the eyes OF General Reiss.
The sentence of death was pro-
nounced upon General Stoessel, Tor

Before the sentence was read meas
ures were taken TO prevent demon
stration in favor of General Stoessef
by Il number OF the younger officers and
witnesses who were present. These
latter sent a dispatch to the empress
saying that they would humbly bear
testimony that General Stoessel was
the soul Of the defense of Port Arthur;
that he had always encouraged and put,
heart into the garrison. and that

again under General Stoessel. They
asked the empress graciously to be-

COM M U NICATION

Mr.. Editor: As an interested specta
tor at the late State convention, 1t wa
truly gratifying to hear the numerous
and hearty expressions of favor in re-
gard to the candidacy of Hon. u. s.
Stanton for governor. II this senti
| ment prevades the state, and he should
be nominated, then we could indeed
say that out of many good men, Yer.
mont had at this time selected one of
her best for standard bearer.
Mr.. Stanton is an effective and con.
vincing public speaker, is able, honest,
independent and fearless. In every
public office that he has held he has
been faithful in marked degree to the
interests of all the people, therein doing
equal justice, without fear, favor or
affection. His devotion to the interests
of the people, regardless of power in
fluences has often been shown and one
instance may be mentioned.
In 1900 bill intended to provide in
some measure against unequal taxation
and to increase corporation taxes, was
passed by the House but was defeated
IN the Senate under the leadership of
Mr. Clement. Mr.. Stanton was sena.
tor and with Messrs. Dunnett, Cud-
worth, Baldwin and few others, did
his utmost by voice and vote to secure
the passage of the bill.
In 1906, when Mr.. Clement was
for governor, the Free Press
and other papers told us thousand
times that we ought not to vote for
Mr.. Clement because he defeated that
bill, and it was reason enough.
1t seems TO be good logic to say that
now we should vote for the man who
faced Mr.. Clement and did his best to
secure the passage of the bill.

his circular, but he admitted his in
ability to do so. This committee
made formal report to meeting
OF business men and it's findings
were adopted by. that gathering.
The seal of falsity is thus placed
upon the statement in such a man
ner as to exclude further bubbles,
and to stamp the efforts of the
Democrats as desperate desire to
secure votes at any cost.
In it's report, the comittee called
attention to the fact that the attack
especially jeopardized one project
which, if carried through, will mean
an eventual increase of 10000 pop
ulation for Idaho. The undertaking
referred to is that covering 100000
acres of land west of the Twin Falls
tract. IL can readily be understood
what danger is encountered when it
is known that the men who are fur.

induced to abandon this enterprise in
the face of such reputation by the
people of the state.
Fortunately, the evil effects of this
baseless assault have been minimized
by the prompt response from citizens
OF this and other localities, but the
Democratic party and it's candidates
remain to be dealt with according to
their participation in the offense.
