themselves incapable of conducting without disaster
1t was a key-noter for those times, which were
nearly as hard as they now are and the democratic
party bowed its head to the storm. In its recent
reading the Rochester paper observed that Mr.. Bur
rows temporary chairman of the late national re-
publican convention said in his speech to the
vention, referring to the election of Roosevelt in
1904:
In view of this endorsement, it becomes pertinent
and opportune to enquire, what has the republican
party done in the last four years of government
troll to forfeit public confidence create distrust in
its capacity for future administration?
1t occurs to the Rochester paper that the answer
to Mr.. Burrows question made by the republi-
platform of four years ago in the extract that
told the story of "blighed industry reduced work and
wages, halted enterprise, crippled production etc.
Of course the public is now admons1ed, in the
choicest language at the command of the veterans of
the republican press, that a political party is in
way responsible for the business conditions that
afict the country, but the assurance seems to be
thought invention of those that give it.
1t is remembered that the closed factory plank of
four years ago was the choicest text in the whole
collection for republican editorial sermonzing and
if so then, why not now? Only the sermon
izng will this time have to be done by the preachers
of the democratic press for the other side will for

A Senatorial Declaration.

In Boise newspaper interview, Senator Hepburn
said:
can state my position on removals (from ofice)
in general way by saying that whenever my col
league comes to and says that any in office
has done things that render him personally offensive
to my colleague, shall not stand in the way of his
removal, leaving his to rest the facts. shall
expect him to observe the same rule
The test of fitness of the Idaho office holder, then,
is his success in not disp1easng either of the Idaho
senator's 1t does not matter about his capacity his
ability to serve the public He may be the embodi-
ment of wisdom, tireess in energy honest in pur-
pose faithful to the trust reposed in him But if he
becomes personally offensive one of the senator's,
removal is the fate that must be visited upon him,
provided the junior senator agrees with the senior
senator in relation to disqualification for office.
How far away the senator is from the fundamental
principles of Our government in asserting the
archcal doctrine of 1ese-majeste principle to be
applied to the servants of the public of rank inferior
to his own
1t is possible that appontee within the sphere
influence of senator might, in the performance Of
his official duty, find it necessary to proceed in
way against the senator his colleague. 1t might
be case in which no just complaint could lie against
the appointee and in which the senator might be
in some degree culpable At any rate, the appontee,
being employed by the government to perform a
certain line of work. must either resign and
away or ramp1e on the toes of the SENATOR not being
able to step over them without violating his oath
of office and subjecting himself to scandal
In the performance of his duty, the appointee
would thus become personally offensive to the sena-
tor or his colleague Mr.. Hepburn declares that he

Wanted, Clean Men.

The accredited organ of the republicanism of the
state, the Idaho Statesman, deems it necessary to
make public the confession that its party is doomed
probable defeat unless it adorns its tocet with
the names of clean Inferenally the party that
has been supplying the commonwealth with its official
talent has not been putting up clean
The demand for clean appears to come along
with the jeopardy of the republican and not to
arise from any desire to serve the public faithfully
and we'll 1t is advisable to put into the running men
of unimpeachabe record because the constituent be-
hind the ballot is manifesting unfailing symptoms
of an intention to kick over the traces He has been
a steady creature of burden as long as he can
stand it and is going to buck. Therefore, give
him load that will rest soothingly upon the CALLED
spots
There is more politics than good faith in the ar
rangemnet, but the oracle that tell just when to
up not created in vain.
The oracle, in this instance chooses to select the
bad of the party and the danger is that the
prvates of the political family may coincide with
its judgment
1t chooses to place the stigma upon men who have
offended-not only the public but the newspaper.
In its separation of the goats from the sheep may
not be able to distinguish hair from wool, so
jaundiced does the vision become under the prompt
ings of personal pique.
Wouldn't the state come nearer to good govern
ment if the voters were persuaded to pick out the
administrative material from the two tickets pre-
scented for their consideration? Then the future
cleanliness of the official body would depend upon
the judgment of person, few persons,

Follow Your File Leader.

Persecution for religions sake is the strong card
among the saints, who have not any religion worth
mentioning. Martyrdom sits lightly upon them, al
though it is with great JUNCTION that the Mormons
and their assistants declam against the American
ism of the day which insists that they shall take
the influence of their church out of the government
of the state.
Persecution for truths sake is not tabooed in the
Mormon code and it is so freely applied that its posi-
ton is at least consistent. The Mormon hates the
truth much as he loves poygany and political
power and is ever ready to give it a black eye when
it confronts him.
The Blackfoot Republican told the truth about the
transactions of convention and the Mormonism
of Bingham county up against The Republican
and declared that truth teller could do business in
their midst The B1ackfoot paper mentions the pro-
grees of the boycott:
The boycott started against The Republican by
prominent local Mormons still continues among the
faithful lights of lesser magnitude We do not think
it IS by advice counsel of those in authority that
it is kept up, but by the agitation of of the
satellites of the local bshropic who has devo
ton than intelligence and is ambitious to make him
self felt according to the influence he can muster.
There is another explanation for part of the action
that shows the surface that is clear to because
we know, think know, the tendency of many
of the Mormons to under-vaue their own judgment
and follow blindly in the footsteps of those they
look up to.
1t is part Of the system-foow your file leader
This has been the advice of the prophets from Joe
Smith down and it was especially emphasized by
Brigham the Terrible. Free thought and free action
prohibited by him 1t is the sign of the church
that ignorance is the desirable quality among its
subjects.
1t is through this quality that the hierarchy votes
them man and it is through this quality that
it is enabled to impose the boycott that the Black
foot paper is now experiencing.

A Four Year Old Plank.

Deving into the records of the past the Rochester
Union and Advertiser, published at old town in
the state of New York, found document that
proved to be the national platform of the republican
party for the year 1896. Reading it over, the dis
covery made that the platform went after the
democratic party President Cleveland being then in
office, with language that its authors may now have
to regret. One of the paragraphs of the plat
form said about the democratic administration:
In the broad effect of its policy has precipitated
panic, blighted industry and trade with prolonged
depression, closed factories, reduced work and wages
halted enterprise and crippled American production

interest demands that the government shall be

SCARLET FEVER.
A scourge of White Races In All Ages
and Countries. s3s5

A scourge Of White Races In All Ases
and Countries.
Now that smallpox, thanks to com
pulsory vaccination. has become a rar-
lty In civilized communities, scarlet
fever steps forward as the worst of
the eruptive diseases Of child dhood.j
1t is a malady Of enormous antiquity.
Thucydides, writing nearly 800 years
before the beginning Of our. era, called
it a heritage from the remote past.
1t has scourged the white races in all
ages and all countries, and the ply
Bicians of all schools have leveled
their heaviest artillery upon it. Yet
1t remains a puzzle unsolved and an
enemy unconquered even today. We
are in doubt as to Its cause, and there
is no drug or antitoxin that will cure
It.. But despite all this the death rate
from scarlet fever is steadily declin-
ing, and we may expect 1t to decline
more and more as the years go by.
The reason for this, ! take 1t, lies In
the fact that the modern doctor is a
great deal more sparing with pills and
powders than his predecessor and a
great deal more lavish with water, air
and antiseptics. In the old days 1t
was customary to dose scarlet fever
patients with all sorts of violent RENE
dies in staggering quantities, and as a
result many Of them died. Today
medicines are but minor auxiliaries in
the sickroom, and both doctor and
nurse devote their main energies to
preventing spread Of the Infection
