SOME time since | called atten-
ton to the bossism which governs
the Republican party nationally,
and contrasted it with the rule of
the masses of the Democratic par
ty, who brush aside the leaders
when they attempt to dictate that
this or that man shall be chosen
for office, or assume to formulate
such and such a policy, regardless
of the general desire. In the DEM
~ocratic party, the leaders follow
the will of the rank and file, whom
no "big stick" terrifies into SUBJ
mission. On the contrary, the
bosses of the G. o. P, drive their
followers with a rod Of iron, and
the "little fellows" are expected to
meekly submit to a dictation as
absolute as the rule of the Russian
car. This is true locally as we'll
as nationally. The late legisla-
ture enacted a primary law whose
one purpose was to destroy boss
ism and give all the people a voice
in the choice of their public SER
wants. The Democrats of the
State have accepted that law in it's
full intent and purpose, and every
aspirant for public position is left
free to submit his claims to the
people. No boss or committee has
attempted to say "Thou shalt or
Thou shalt not" to any man. In
consequence, there are as many as
six contestants for some State Of
fees, and in only one instance is
there a nomination uncontested.

publican candidates for State offic-

evidently compromises"
were forced. Singular, you think?
Not when you know the wherefore.
It's as simple and natural as roll
ing off a log. The Republican
State Committee got together and
selected the men to run, and put
the ban on all others. Assistant
Gentry was ruled
out. He wanted to run for Attor-
ey-General, the place now held
by Hadley. Mr.. Gentry clicked"
vigorously and determined to run
and has been disciplined
by being dismissed from his posi-
ton as Assistant, which he held
under the grace Of Hadley. OF all
the papers of the G. o. p. follow
l find only one resenting this
.bominable instance of bossism-
The Maryville Republican. Here is
what it says:
Attorney-G General Hadley will
no votes by trying to dictate
his successor in the attorney-gen-
erals office. N. T. Gentry, one
of the assistant attorney-generals
and a lawyer of much ability and
character, announced months ago
that he was in the race for that Of
fee, and Hadley has been strongly
opposed to his making the race.
Hadley wanted John Kennish to
succeed him, but as Gentry had al
made such a good start,
Kennish did not desire to make the
race. The political bosses of the
state met and decided that they
would have to have some one to
run against Gentry, and Frank
Fulkerson was brought out. The
will have the support of the
politicians, but Gentry will gain
many votes because Of the politi-
deal that has been worked
against him.
Here in Iron county less than a
dozen men met in Adrian Stable

Social Settlements In American Cities
A prominent settlement worker who
Is also an advanced Socialist recently
declared that the people of the social
settlements with which he is affiliated
are strongly inclined to socialism. He
meant that his words should be taken
literally. From the observation Of a
London Times correspondent who re-
Gently compared the settlements in
this country with those OF England
the settlements Of New York and Chi
cago are not primarily schools Of So
cialism in any alarming sense. This
writer finds that American settlements
are superior to those In his country In
that they have more fexibllity. larger
hospitality TO new ideas, greater readi-
ness for experiment" etc, than the
English counterparts.
Socialism is comparatively new
cult here, and 1t may be that the peo-
pie Of the settlements are easily Inn
pressed by the claims OF It's teachers
that therein lies the road to social and
economic reforms. The Idea would APP
peal even more strongly to the English
submerged tenth, because over there
the bars set up between social classes
nre lnfiexibls In this country this is
true only Of the cities. There 1t Is a
mere dictum Of individuals which sets
up pretenslon of class. No such dis
tinction Is made by our laws or our
traditions. In this respect the Ameri-
can cities are unique, and II 10 encour-
aging to learn from the English OBJ
server that the American settlements
lnculcate purely democratic ideals. All
residents Of the settlements, he says,
Hre treated and expect to be treated
as equals. There appears no trace Of
condescension. patronage or hattery.
This IN not radlcallsm, but simply GO
ing back to our tirst princlples--prin.
Ciples which hive held their own
throughout the country and have lost
ground only IN the semi-foreign cities.
SO long as the settlements teach hon
est equality there can be no danger Of
radical socialism in that quarter.

WON by THE WEST.

The west won great victory, from
commercial point of view, when
the Interstate commerce commission
rendered les decision favorable to the
contention of the lumber shippers
against the increased freight rate es-
tablished by the railroads on lumber
to eastern points. The decision also
establishes precedent that indicates
another victory in the Spokane rate
case which will be OF great benefit to
the Inland Empire. II holds that the
rate In effect before the advance Is
Just and must be restored. also that
there must be differential In favor
OF eastern Washington and northern
Idaho over the coast rate. because
the haul Is shorter and the lumber
can be handled at lower rate. Mo-

Cd rates on lumber to the east 20 10

down many mills. The lumbermen

commerce commission for the restor-
alton OF the old rate and the decision
places the manufacturers OF this sec
ton In even better position than they
we're before. as II recognizes a lower
rate from this district than from the

A voice FROM CHINA !
Rev. S. Z. Wisha I'd is Still In

we'll known Presbyterian clergyman
who wrought during many years IN

letter was brought forth by the re-
ceipt OF few copies OF the Sclmitar
aud an accompanying note sent bin
from this 0fiice. His letter il dated
at Canton, China. January 9, 1908,
and In II he says:
Your kind note and bundle of pa
pers were too late TO catch me before
leaving Los Angeles They came to
me as I was taking the boat with my
daughter and her husband. Rev. Dr.
Fulton, for journey to the inland.
Let me thank you very warmly for
your favor am deyouring them
without salt or pepper, as they are
thoroughly seasoned. They ring true
changing the figure and must tell
for good n all who are not past
learning.
IL was a great trial TO me TO have
to relinquish my place in the midst
of the conflict With the religion OF
lust and ayarice. My heart is still
in the battle and my prayers are for
the defeat Of the devil who is lead
ing the Mormon traitors. II ever
can return and fire shot In any
glad TO answer TO my name at roll
call

face OF that secret reasonable organ
ization, II would not be possible for
