rected to his life-work. He saw oppor-
tunities on the Pacific Coast for the de-
velopment of a great sugar industry,
with tropical islands within easy reach
as a source of raw material and compe-
tition in finished products cut off by
mountains and deserts. He bought an
interest in a small local refinery and
soon worked up large and profitable
business. Then he bought out the
other stockholders and became the sole
proprietor. With improved machinery
and the magic of his personal direction
the mill was soon earning enormous
profits. But still Spreckels was not
satisfied. He knew that hes was not
using the best methods. He resolved
to master the whole art of sugar-mak-
ing and then make a fresh start He
sold out at a high price and went to
Europe. There, already a rich man, he
put on the rough clothes of a common
laborer and secured employment in a
refinery at Magdeburg. He worked for
wages there for six weeks, and in that
time he had become familiar with every
detail of the refinery process.
1t became evident to him that Cali
fornia was not yet ready for the beet
ST. gar industry, and he resolved to de-
vote his energy for the time to cane
He put up the California refinery in
1868, enlarge the small wooden build
ing four times in three years, and then
replaced it with the immense brick
building with a capacity of eight hun
dred barrels per day which now looms
over the Potrero of San Francisco. At
that time, it took three weeks to make
hard sugar. Spreckels invented new
processes by which the time was re-
dueed TO twenty-four hours. He intro
duced the modern cube and crushed su-
gars to the American market. At first
he bought most of his ray material in
the Philippines, but when the Hawai-
ian Reciprocity Treaty was negotiated
in 1876, he saw that revolution was
in the Pacific Coast refining
industry.

FOR JUDGE

At the recent convention in Ana
conda, John W. Tattan was the unan-
imous choice of the delegates to rep
resent the democratic party as the
nominee for reelection as Judge of
the Twelfth Judicial district.
No man in this district comprising
Valley and Chouteau counties, has a
larger circle Of acquaintences, and
warm personal friends, than has
Judge John w. Tattan.
For the past ten years his admin
istration as Judge, has been such as
to merit the confidence and respect
of law abiding and justice loving cit
izens, while he has come to be known
as the terror of the lawless. His ad-
ministration has been at all times,
both fair and fearless, and this is
as 1t should be.
Fhe name of John W. Tattan will
add strength and dignity to the demo
cratic ticket, and prove a prime fact
or in its success at the forthcoming
election.

CHURCH SHOWSITS HAND

The Elder Editor OF the Stand
ard News had bad attack Of con-
stipation OF ideas and diarrhoea OF
words last week. He is now posing
as political advisor of the democra-
tic party OF the state and tells the
people that Dubois is guilty OF all
the ills with which our Mormon
ridden commonwealth is inflicted.
There need be no surprise.
Political weather vanes quite often
fling aside manhood, self
respect and common decency
when they can muster moral cour-
age enough to do 60. He is here
to do the bidding of the hungry
political lingsters who are willing
to corrupt the state in order to roll
on fat at the feed trough of
political spoils. With quaking
knees and hungry look he seeks
the innermost corner of his office
anxiously awaiting the nod of APP
prevail from Salt Lake.
The principal charge that he
establishes against Senator Du-
Bots is that he is man and not q
politician. Dubois tells the truth
and fights without fear or favor.
The Elder admits there is some
polygamy and Mormon trouble in
the south part of the state but
whines like dog because people
in the east are lead to believe that
it exists in North Idaho. A paper
that would delude the people into
coming out to the Mormon coun.

ties of Idaho lie doing more harm
in fifteen minuets than Dubois
could do in that many years. Our
state is and will be what we max e
it. A man who will publicly state
to the people that Idaho is an ex.
ample of morality under the pre-
sent conditions, is guilty of a de-
ception that is criminal.
Would Carpenter, providing he
was out of politics and had no ak
to grind, be willing to take his
family and for the remainder OF
his days live in the vicinity OF,
say, Rexburg, Idaho?
Do you not, Brother Carpenter
have a conjunction Of conscience
when you attempt to class the Gen.
tile women OF Idaho as practicing
morality in the same degree as the
polygamous wives of your Mormon
friend who are trying to break the
shackles that hold them in a state
OF prostitution?
Will you dispute the word OF
some half dozen honest, law abid-
ing citizens, at one time residents
of Mormon-infested communities,
but now voters OF this county, some
of whom have and do vote the re-
publican ticket, when they say
polygamy does exist and is being
practiced by the wholesale and
that"no white man can live among
them?
Never mind the trouble in the
democratic party, there is more
than Office at stake. Idaho needs a
house cleaning and the time is ripe
for it. Clean up and be able to
hold out the Gem State to pros
pective homeseakers as a place
where morality and law are su
preme.
To the average democrat it looks
little funny to see republican

ship OF the various factions now
disrupting the democratic party in
the state, seems to consist OF de-
magogue denunciation of existing
conditions and the advocating OF
vague schemes Of socialism and
paternalism which are themselves
revolutionary in character.
We are not on the threshold OF
the greatest political awakening
our state has ever known, or mark
ing the beginning Of new age,
but We are, I believe, about to re-
turn to our senses snd earnestly
address ourselves to the solution Of
the difficult problems confronting
US, by the methods which the past
has shown to be entirely adequate
10 meet theee great emergencies.
The so-called "muckrake" has had
q great vogue and on the whole has
done some good. The octopodi-
eide and trust buster is vociferous
and much in evidence; but he
offers no issue on which political
parties can divide. In the midst
Of all these the plain people 60
about their business, seeing the
elimination of the real issues Of
interest that are dividing the ma
ional parties and they stand indif-
ferent.
The republican party has always
been conservative to change and
innovation, and to-day, half un-
consciously it again voices it's real
character by declaring itself to be
the party Of stand-patters.
On the other hand, the democra.
tic party has been the party Of too
much liberalism. Only recently
have efforts been made to drag it
from the path Of progress to that
of the revolution.
The real leaders of our state,
the bosses whose sinister influence
lies back Of the party machinery
and control it for their own selfish
and personal ends, are pushing the
button. The men responsible for
the present demoralized condition
of the party, should take a back
seat. From great vote-getting
organization they are evidently
making it simply a delegate-gettine
machine.
Unless these present conditions
are changed or remedied by the en-.
couragement Of independent action
and thought, by conventions made
open rather than subservient to q
central clique" the thousands Of
self-responsible voters in the state
who are democrats in principle
but are voting the republican ticket
will continue where they are and
the young men who could be
brought into our ranks and others
in great numbers, will remain in.
different to political affairs or joir
our opponents.
The people Of the democratic
party, to speak plainly, are dis
graced and Inundated by the past
years Of Encouragement, but will
array themselves behind their par.
ty candidates, If they are men Of
political standing, on a platform
OF real democracy; and in that plat
form they want no crazy socialism
or revolutionary paternalism. VIVA,
we want and need is men and
not measures. The people az a
whole have little faith in new laws
while there is not honesty and cap
acity enough in the public servants
to work out the old ones.
Yours for harmony and Pure
Democracy. j. J. PULSE.
