WHERE WE STAND.

Some of the Idaho republicans ex-
pect to slide into Office by hanging to
the coat tail Of Taft, and using Presi-
dent Roosevelts record and popularity
as toboggan slide. Jim Brady is one
of them. There are Others. In Wash
ington Levi Ankeny is doing the same
thing. These fellows may discover
that the people can vote for a republi-
can president and then get into the
democratic column for governor and
senator. This is exactly what the
Troy News will do if Boss Brady
forces himself onto the republican
ticket in Idaho this fall. And we will
do it as republican. The News
knows OF but one way to put the
tricky political ringster, the party boss,
the platform repudiator, the machine
manipulation, the ballot debaucher, out
Of business, and that is by absolutely
refusing to support him. There is
nothing in republican principles bind
ing any man to doctrine which, if
blindly followed, makes it possible and
certain that, if nominated, men of the
aforementioned class will receive the
endorsement and united support of
republican voters. The News is not
Of those who believe in the yellow
dog" doctrine of voting straight"
We, therefore, propose to fight, both
before and after the conventions, the
reputation brand Of republicanism in
Idaho. We will fight as long as one
member of the gang insists on running
the party, and any of them are still in
the republican band wagon. Nor will
we beat around the bush one bit in
making our fight. We will neither
compromise with crime nor excuse dis
honor. We shall insist that political
pledges are binding and party promises
made to keep.
So far as Latah county is concerned
the record is clean. Our representa-
tives in the legislature stood up and
fought to the end for fulfllment of
every pledge. Latah county republi-
cans will be expected to stand by that
record. The News has right to de-
mand such action in this county as
will not compel any man, in supporting
the party, to give even the appearance
OF endorement and support to repudia-
ton and Bradyism.

Will the Post kindly explain, since
Editor Fields says he understands law,
just why Latah county should pay Of
fee rent and supply fuel for the city
attorney of Moscow Having had no
difficulty in making a SIS foot bridge
90 feet long this last question ought to
be dead easy. The News editor is not
the only one who would like to know
WHY.
Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1908-03-06

showing that it is good republican
policy to discount law, as well as party
pledges, 81 per cent, and thus convince
the voters outside OF Moscow that S.
foot bridge is really long enough to
come within provision that declares
that legal county bridge must be 90
feet long.

Well, the Troy News saved Latah
county taxpayers about $500 on de-
tective hire, anyway. Had the News
said nothing Hagan and Cook would
have paid the bill. Stillinger would
have been the last person on earth to
have objected.

wants a mistake corrected Of a remark
attributed to him. in which he is re-
ported as having stated that there is
a law which provides that il a COM
mon carrier does not deliver package
within a reasonable time, It could be
construed as disorderly conducr. He
says there is no such law that the re-
porter misunderstood him.
He said he made the remark that
even II the court could go TO the extent
of holding that a failure TO deliver a
package within a reasonable time was
disorderly conduct, which he denied
could be so held, that even then the
court could not hold Norris the de-
fendant because he had nothing to do

Paris, July 5.-LOpinion publishes an interesting interview with Emperor Will liam which, the paper says, is published with the Kaiser's consent L'Opinion' $ talk with His Majesty took place at Kiel.
 Germany, said the Kaiser, ''could gain nothing by hanging her policy of peace, which has been maintained at great hazards for seven and thirty years. A province added to our dominions would be d sorry price for the infinite misery a war would infiict both on ourselves and adversaries. Our powerful fleet and army are maintained solely to uphold Germanys commanding position in the world. We cannot afford to let our forces deteriorate, we cannot afford to relax in our war preparedness--for on this de- bends our political influence and otlr com merce and industry on land and Sea"
 The Kaiser continued "I swear l do not banker after war but let others be- ware from driving me into 1t.
 "A war between Germany and France would be illogical on both sides.
 "I do nots believe in the talk of re- venge scattered by silly French news papers, neither can I perceive that France is preparing for a war of revenge. -Four army organization is not aggressive. Like that of Germany, 1t tends toward the maintenance of peace only.
 France and Germany should be allies: they should enter into compact guar anteeing the rights of each and putting
