AN ABLE POLITICIAN

President Theodore Roosevelt is
the ablest and wost consumate poll
tician the United States has ever pro-
duced. He is honest and sincere.
and we sometimes think that his
honesty and sincerity Is what con-
POUNDS his critics and enemies. They
are not used to such methods. Be-
cause the President was favorable
to Secretary Taft for the nomination.
the howl Immediately went I'D from
those unfavorable to the Roosevelt
administration that Taft would only
be puppet in the hands of Roose-
welt. Considerable Roadway was be-
ing made. This will now be stopped.
According to press dispatches Presi-
dent Roosevelt will make a tour of
the world after the expiration of
his term. This statement was made
authoritatively at the White House
to-day. His declared purpose is to
give Secretary Taft, if Taft is nomi-
mated and elected, a free hand in the
office without any danger of impu-
tation that he was acting under the
influence of Roosevelt.
This will put an end to such talk
and raise the chances for Taft at
least so per cent. 1t shows the Pres
ident's foresight and ability. The
only real objection ever advanced
against Taft was that it looked that
If elected, he really would not be
president, but would execute the or
derS of Roosevelt.

BRYAN SQUIRTING.

AS Is well known, Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan appeared in Wash
ington when the treaty of peace be-
tween the United tSates and Spain
came up for ratification by the Uni
ted States senate. He urged the
Democratic members to vote for rat
ification and they did. Now Mr..
Bryan says:
II took the position that 1t was
easier for us to act alone than to
force Spain to act, and that we had
as much. right to recognize the in
dependence of the Philippines our
selves as to force Spain to do 1t. The
senate ratified the treaty and came
so near deciding in favor of the in
dependence of the Philippines that
1t required the vote of the vice-pres-
ident to defeat the resolution. Had
the resolution received one more
vote we would have been saved more
than $5OO,00O,OO0 in expense and
saved the menace of war in the orient
and the humiliation of having sus-
picion cast upon our adherence to
the doctrines of the declaration of
independence"
According to Mr.. Bryan we paid
Spain 100000, 100000 for public i'm
provements in order to have the hon
or of recognizing the independence
OF the Philippines. Suppose we had
done so and in year of two after
wards couple of Germans were kill
ed in Manila and hundred thousand
dollars of German property DESTROY
ed, what then? 1t has always been
the habit of Germany to take a slice
off weak countries who do violence
to her citizens. France, England.
and Russia have similar habits.
What would be the humiliation to us
If Germany should sieze a country
made independent by us? Or per-
haps Mr.. Bryan would have us spend
the $5O0,000.000 in a war with Ger
many In order to maintain the in
dependence of the Philippines, or in
other words, extend the Monroe doc
trine over the islands of the sea. 1t
would be a handsome undertaking.
We think the $500, 900, 900 have
bee nbetter spent than under Mr..
plan. 1t has been an ex-
pensive enterprise, but we have so
far done our duty, feel no humilia-
ton.

EVERYTHING EXPLAINED.

This is the season for congress-
men to get in their work for use at
home and for that purpose Pinchot
was the goat in Mondays proceed
ings in the house,
That sentence explains everything.
We never knew before that Pinchot
was a goat. But the editor of the
Statesman is much better acquainted
with him than we are, and conse-
quently better qualified to give him
his proper geological classification.
We are pleased at the deep insight
displayed by the Boise journal
probably we should have said close
observation. 1t is now so easy to
understand Mr.. Pinchot's past .oper-
atoms. We know q goat has a very
voraclous appetite with a special
fondness for grass. Pinchot in the hour
of his power set aside for himself
thousands and thousands of acres of
fine grazing land. From the amount
he has set aside in the forest reserves
one would think that he was a mil
lion goats. The sheepmen of Idaho
should not feel bad now that they
have learned that a cousin of their
tocks is only trying to provide for
himself. We thank the Statesman
for this information.

The local optionists of Idaho
should feel crafty encouraged now
that the Latter Day Saints have de-
clared for local option at the recent
conference held in Salt Lake. What
the people would like to know is,
will they endorse the county as the
unit or the precinct. The opinion in
this county is that IL local option
law is enacted, the county should be
made theunit, and not the precinct.
The mistake the Mormons made was
In not endorsing prohibition and thus
settle the temperance question for all
time.

the committee, Jack Ashley arose
with the"prepared slate" of those
whom the gang would let go to the
Wallace convention and read of the
list and made a motion that the list
as read should comprise the dele
gates. The motion was hurried thru
for fear some one might attempt to
break the slate. 1t is just such
methods which disgust the fair mind
ed republicans, and unless there is
a change the gang will find them
selves short of votes when the time
comes. From all parts Of the county

ment to start an open revolt.
Bonner County is a new county

chine politics the first thing, and the
News believes there are enough good
square toed republicans who do not
believe in such methods, that they
will see to it when the delegates are
selected in the various precincts in
July that delegates are selected to
come to the convention who are op-
posed to machine methods and who
favor good clean politics and the

SERIOUS CHARGES

Some few days ago serious charges
were brought against Forester Pin
chot in the House of Representatives.
The charges are that the bureau had
created timber monopolies, in favor
OF large corporations; illegally as
sumed jurisdiction over water rights
belonging to the Western states; and
Juggled with figures in order to Sc
cure large appropriations from Con-
gress. Now those are grave accu-
sations for members of congress to
make against government bureau.
and this bureau is simply Pinchot.
The charge that the bureau has crea-
ted a great timber monopoly was
made two or three years ago by Sem
ator Hepburn and he made a great
showing against the forest service.
1t is clearly apparent that If half the
timber in this country is taken of
the market the other half will practi-
cally double in value. AS the timber
outside the reserves was practically
all owned or controlled by the timber
the reserves doubled the
value of its holdings and also gave
t a monopoly in the market. Has

Bridge Bonds Election.

The election for bonding the city
for the purpose of building three
bridges across Indian Creek, passed
OF very quietly, while the registra-
ton was large, yet the vote cast did
not exceed so 20 of the registration.
The propositions submitted was for
a bridge on 7th street, one on kim
ball avenue, and one on 9th street,
where Indian Creek crosses those
streets. The following is the vote:

A DESERVED TRIBUTE.

AT the last meeting of the Caldwell
Commercial Club the members of the
organization paid Secretary r. B.
Gowen handsome compliment and
deserved tribute, in presenting him
a beautiful diamond ring. Since the
reorganization of the Commercial
Club, Mr.. Gowen has been its lead
ing spirit, most enthusiastic support
er and hardest worker. He has not
tired in the work. He has made 1t a
point to come back to town to attend
Commercial Club meetings while
others have made it a point to leave
town on similar occasions. He has
unstintedly given his time, his energy
and his money. He started out with
the intention of making the organi-
cation a success, and to his credit he
has done so. We don't mean to say
that Mr.. Gowen did all this alone and
unaided, but he furnished the steam
and pulled the load. 1t was a gra-
cious act on the part of the members
and reflects credit upon them. About
the most that any man can get or
really needs in this world is a Just ap-
probation. Mr.. Gowen realizes now
that the Commercial Club does ap-
preciate him and his work. The Tri-
bune congratulates the Caldwell Com
mercial Club on once more doing the
right thing at the right time.
