No Charges Divulged.

The days have heightened into weeks since Ruel
Rounds, United States marshal for Idaho, was di-
rected by messenger from the seat of political
autocracy at Washington to resign the position
through which he had transacted business for the
United States Up to date he has not been told
wherein he manifested delinquency in the perform
ance of his official duties.
No semblance of charge of inefficiency or irreg-
u1arity has been uttered against the scrupulously
maintained record of this public servant. He was
told to get out Not obeying he peremptorily
removed. No man of conscious integrity would obey
so causeless a summons. That the summons was
causeess is testified to by the absence of any reason
for the demand served upon him with all the in
science of little passing power.
The Scmitar has no political interest in Mr.
Rounds But it does have an interest in all upright
citizens of Idaho and out of that interest it gladly
gives voice to protest that will pass unheeded or
perhaps invite the of men intoxicated by their
potatons of triumph
Mr. Rounds belongs to school of republicanism
that has not shed its benefactions upon the men
now riding the swift horse of power to the prec-
pce of destruction He is of the old Shoup- Stand
rod regime, which dispensed politics and rewards
under the merit system and never moved to call
down an appontee for over-faithful performance
of duty
Herein perhaps, is theeoffense and if So neither
the department of justice, the president the
senatorial patronage dispenser will be disposed to
mention the of the arbitrary act by which they
sought to cast disgrace upon an unoffending at
tachee of the governmental establishment.
In the public sentiment that organizes itself with
out direction or leader there is an unerrng sense of
justice that finally asserts itself full panopled as
retrbutive agency 1t is not moving with
leaden heel if there is anything in the portents that
arise in swelling volume from those places in which
right has enthroned itself

bitions only at the of his self-respect When one
loses respect for himself, he quickly loses the respect
of others. When one ceases to command the re-
spect and support of others, the Mormons abandon
him. u

their enormous profits, or which will induce a
healthy competition
These trusts and protected industries are repre-
sented in the republican party by majority Of the
republican senator's and by majority Of the republi
leaders in the various states They created the
impression that they desired the nomination of of
their own kind. Hence the peoplestook readily to
the candidacy of Mr.. Taft because they thought he
was Roosevelts candidate against the candidate of
the corporations. Taft had no positive strength He
would not have received fifty votes in the convention,
had it not been for Roosevelt, and the situation
Now that the convention has passed and gone
and time for dispassionate consideration has been
given, and the people have recovered from their
exhlaration, the results of the Chicago convention
are most disappointing. The trusts and the corpora
tions, the old Mark Hanna republicans, made the
the platform. There is none of the Roosevelt vigor
in it. 1t offers hope to genuine reformers.
Taft is the central figure. He is the candidate
of the party for president and is being judged as a
separate and distinct individuality Before the con-
vention he regarded the representative of
Roosevelt Now he is being measured by his own
personality. He does not interest the people much,
and certainly does not inspire any enthusiasm
The party most unfortunate in its selection of
vice president James S. Sherman of New York.
is as much of a noneny as any one could be who
has served twerty years in congress. The highest
and only distinction which Mr. Sherman achieved
during those twenty years in congress to become
the chairman OF the committee on Indian affairs. In
that position which he has held for dozen years,
he has made impression legislation affecting
the Indians. He has been devoted follower of
Speaker Cannon. He is at all times a Machine"
republican His name is not identified with any
great legislation, and he has always been an op-
ponent of reform measures.
There is lack of confidence in Taft as a reformer,
and the addition of Mr. Sherman to the ticket has
tendency to lessen the little confidence the peo
pie have Taking into consideration the platform
and the candidates, the opinion is general, even at
this early stage of the campaign that the aggress-
i've policies of President Roosevelt in the interest
Of the people have been abandoned by the repub1i-
,an party.
The fact is plain and unmistakable that great
old wave has swept over and dampened the ardor
If the people of the United States who are struggling

opportunities in the struggle of life.

When Senator Hopkins was named as chairman
of the committee on resolutions of the Chicago con-

black optic Hopkins is notoriously the defender
of criminal monopoly of all the trusts, Mormon and
Gentle, and the representative of Standard Oil and
Morgan interests. Progressive republicanism did not

1t is said that when president is permitted to
select his successor, the first step towards the
monarchy has been taken, for it is an assault on a
basic principle of our form of government that weak
