under the indictments found by the special grand
jury that operated under the direction of the deputies
from the department.
The charges formulated against federal attorney
of Idaho by the federal judge from the state of
Washington, sustained by Judge Quarles in his recent
decision ought not to have any weight in the consd-
Grafton of the indictments. But there is
general belief that these men of great wealth will
escape in way, without being tried for the Of
lenses with which they charged.
The sentiment that would partially sustain such a
miscarriage of justice is being ndustriousy manu-
featured by the two daily newspapers of Boise They
hold that the defendants valuable to Boise in
be put to the test, though the searchight of
the grand jury system has twice exposed evidence of
dishonesty.
If they assisting the establishment of the pros
perity of Boise through the sale of stolen goods,
Boise ought to stand by and keep quiet is the logic
of these accomplices after the fact.
Idaho exhibits startling extremes in its adminstra-
ton of justice. Some years ago, being unable to

state through the recognized legal processes its rep
representatives. of justice went into the other state
and violently abducted the men whom the authorities
refused to surrender

employed will be duplicated in the state of Wisconsin,

There is scarcely any sanity in a suggestion that

What are we going to do about churches in poll
tics? Really it should be put this way: What is
Mr.. Dubois going to do about it? We find that the
Mormon church is not alone in politics actively. The
Method1sts have taken hand in the political game
and their operations are of national scope, while
even Mr.. Dubois has charged the Mormons
with entering upon quite comprehensive cam
paign
The Scimitar reproduces this fragment from the
wisdom of the Boise Statesman Following its in
troductory paragraph the assurance of The States
man that it is in sympathy with Mr.. Dubois to the
extent that does not what he says against the
Mormons giving evidence of a willingness of spirit
that is held in suspense by weakness of flesh.
If in SO reciprocal frame of mind, The Statesman
ought to be able to its own questions without
bothering Mr.. Dubois.
The subject of the Methodists in politics is not
a new one and it is matter that has not before
brought semblance of protest from any republican
newspaper. Heretofore the Methodists have been on
the republican side. They worked among themselves
in behalf of the election and reelection of Mr. Nc

as a pralseworthy one in the sight of the Lord as

But now that they endeavorng to retire

New York Globe and Commercial Advertiser Indt
Rep: But with gold in pocket we have de-
preston in the other The seventeenth century intel
lgence would be stumped to explain it. The mpor-
tation of gold makes little difference so long as
the monetary system is in a sound condition When
issuance of excessive credit money drives gold
out, when violent contraction of credit hurries
it in, there may be for anxety-but the shifting
balance caused by trade makes difference. We
produce more cotton and wheat than we need for
Our Hence we export a part of it. We
produce about quarter of the annual gold addition.
Under normal conditions, therefore, we should ex-
port part of it. Still the clinkng of the guinea does
somehow help the hurt that business feels And
if for other reason because it inspires confidence
because men have agreed that the depression
not long continue, since, among other things, our
Treasury is in such excellent condition-we may
share the neoMerCantilst satisfaction in the $10OO
100000 gold account In 1894 we had only $131-
100000 in gold in the Treasury. In 1908 we have
been able IN one month to. more than pay for our
entire gold excess import for the seven months past
by our exported products Can we ever again be
in the straits that were in when in 1898 our gold
reserve was threatened? 1t would hardly seem pos
sble unless commit little less than crime in our
policies.

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.
Violated a Church Rule.

Chancellor Day and the Methodist church are to
have set-to in the near future The Syracuse
philosopher has been cited to appear before the
New York conference charged with violating
church rule that prohibits member from speaking
evil of magistrates" The chancellor has been using
some unchurchly language about President Roose-
velt with which the public is familiar, and he is to
be examined by committee of five ministers under
the charges.
1t is hardly worth while to bother with men of
his peculiar makeup. Mr.. Day is a sycophant ag
gravatlng at times, but harmless and in his great
regard for nordinate wealth he often makes spec
tacle of himself.
He is opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt because the Rookie
tellers are opposed to him and he favors the nomi-
nation of Governor Hughes because the Rockeellers
want him nominated. A few brainstorms ought not
to condemn man to the Methodist inquistion.

ford is right. New York is doubtful state With
the intense unpopularity of the Roosevelt Admins
tration in this city, united, greedy, and powerful
Tammany, the discontinued vote swollen to great
proportions, the difficulty of financing a Republican
campaign-with all these things taken into the &C
count, it is folly to deny that great majority for
Bryan may be rolled up in Greater New York
Political managers may we'll face the situation.
Some Republicans are saying that they can elect
a president without New York. That is Matthew
aticay possible, of course, but politician in his
senses would plan campaign which began by con-
cedng New York to the Democrats The big fight
will be here. Bryan makes that plain. He must
have this State if he is to succeed and will put forth
tremendous exertions to get it. Who could go forth
to give him battle with the best chance of victory?
