of politics. They always lawyers and therefore
politicians and they like to mix themselves up with
other politicians when in the pursuit of official pref
erment
With the destruction of the machine in politics,
the representatives of the judiciary would become
more tractable and separate elections for the seec-
ton of Judges would be accepted without protest
The democratic party looking to the abolition of the
machine, hopes to place the judiciary outside the
domain of politics and its intention is worthy of
commentator and encouragement
Generally, the Wallace platform reflects party de-
sire to institute and maintain good government and
the party given the opportunity it will undoubt
edly establish many reforms that cannot be attained
while the republican machine possesses control over
all the departments of state and national government

A Misapprehension, Perhaps.

Readers of the Boise Capital News will observe
that one J. L. Seawe of Payette Idaho is suffering
from the mental torture that always aff1icts man
who has an idea crosswse in his mind
Mr. Seawe1l would feel more comfortable if he
would assure himself in good faith that the trouble
in which he participated at the democratic convention
at Wallace all caused by an attempt on the part
of himself and his associates to pack democratic
nominating body with Mormon republican delegates
Naturally the democratic organization resisted.
Otherwise, there would now be no democratic party
in the state condition that the hierarchy servants
of the faction to which Mr. Seawe1l belongs have
been endeavorng to bring about ever since the open
palm of their Judas was crossed by the silver of the
saints
1t is possible that the Payette man is one of the
deuded victims of the conspiracy and is sincerely
sorrowing the seeming perversity of the de-
tenders of the honor of his party. If so, he has
much to learn and much to regret along with the
knowledge that comes to him
Many of his associates in sin had no standing in
the body that assembled at Wallace and that they
were denied participation was righteous decision
made by loyal democrats AS long as the organiza-
ton of the party is under control of the party no
republican in disguise will be permitted to participate
in its councils and when one scratches Mormon
or Jack Mormon, he finds republican in the first
or final stage of the malady.
1t is old and rather transparent trick in the
thickly infested Mormon counties for former demo-
Gratis safely within the republican party by order
of the ruling twenty to attempt assume demo-
cratic functions in caucuses and conventions and to
try and impose their presence upon the genuine de-
mocrats when they assemble to transact party bus-
ness
There is nothing in the ethics of partyism that re-
quires loyal members of party to admit into their
deliberations persons who habtual1y vote against
them on election days, though they may masquerade
in the robes of friends.
In some of the primary election states it is pun
shable offense for of one party to vote the
ticket of the other party at a primary election Thus
S the principle recognized by law that members of
'ne party shall not participate in the preliminary
of another party, and the democratic
convention that excludes fraudulent republican dele
rates from its deliberations is sustained
If Mr.. Seawell will look upon the Wallace affair
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-08-22

The Baltimore Sun has sprung its quadrennial SEN

A Calamity Prophet.

is not Mr. Bryan aware" complains James W.
VanCleave president of the National Association of
Manufacturers, that his wild cat banking scheme
OF 1908 would bring chaos and ruin to the country
even quicker and in larger than his silver
debasement of the currency in 1896 and 1900 would
have brought it?"
The so-called wild cat banking scheme" is the
"Oklahoma scheme through which a person de-
posting money in bank is rendered secure against
the consequences of the failure of the bank
1t is quite likely that Mr.. Bryan and the other
millions who endorse his plan for guaranteed de-
posts will have to be be shown Several persons
have made assertions identical with the one put for
ward by the president of the manufacturers but not
of them, not even Mr.. Van Cleave. has explained
why immunity of bank depositors from financial loss
would produce the dire results that embe1lish their
prophesies
Although founded on fallacious reasoning the cal
amity argument against silver in 1896 and 1900 was
plausible than this new and dnsusained appeal
to prejudice and it is plain enough that the people
will want to know why the business security of the
individual would prove financially disastrous to the
community of individuals
1t will take something more than an election cry
to arm suspicion against the utilitarianism of the
guaranteed deposit plank that was placed in the
democratic platform at the instance of Mr. BRYAN
There is no positive evidence of public confidence
in any of Mr.. Van Ceaves contributions to the re-
publican side of the political discussion and
unless he can back up his ipse dixit the banking
issue, little attention will be paid to his fretfu1 crit
cism of what appears to be the most mertorious
suggestion of the campaign
Mr.. Van Ceave has not shown himself to be in
sympathy with any of the projects for the ameora-
ton of the condition of the great majority. He
heads the capitastic phalanx that is fighting labor
and opposes legislation for the protection of wage
earners
He is wrong many vital economic questions
that he will not be considered right in his assault
upon the guaranteed deposit plan until he places the
prop of proof under his partisan declaration.

Recitals at Academy,

There will be two musical enter
tainments at the Scopba Academy
next week, on Monday and Tuesday
evenings, the 18th and 10Th insts.
The first will be a recital by
Mrs. w. S. Carter's music class, and
as most of our people have already
heard many of her pupils, and are
aware of their abilities, something
exceptionally enjoyable may be
looked for.
The enterta n ment the second
evening will be mainly an eXposi-
tion of the success of Mrs. Carter as
an instructor, through 81 recital by
her most dvanced and accom-
plished pupil, Miss Renie Maury, OF
Wahalak. This young lady is wei
known to our people as a brilliant
and graceful performer on the piano
and music lovers are promised a de-
lectable treat on that occasion.
A cordial invitation is extended
all TO be present at each of these
recitals.

That New Railroad.

Mr.. f. Smith, promoter, ETC., etc,
who has made several visits to KEN
per during the past few months, re-
turned from his latest trip to De-
Kalb the latter part of last week
and stated that he had succeeded in
securing promises of subscriptions
to stock in a railroad proposed to be
built between the county-seat and
Bodga, a station on the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad about four miles south
of Scooba, to the amount Of $25, 900,
and that the company which he rep
resented would build the road pro-
vided subscriptions to the amount
of $4,000 were assured.
This is good, as far as it goes, but
if the county-seat of Kemper is to
be connected by rail with the M. &
o., it behooyes the principal proper
ty owners and moneyed interests of
this immediate section to get move
on them and see to it that the point
of connection shall be Scooba.
A reference to the map will show
that the distances from either Scooba
or Bodga to DeKalb are approXi-
mately the same; following Snoedy
and Sucarnochee Creeks, the Bodga
route may be said to be preferable
as to grading. But the building of
the road by either route means much
to Dekalb-the building OF it from
Scooba will, we believe, in the end,
benefit this town also; it is hard to
say what effect it may have on Scoo-
ba's future if built from Bodga.
1t might be good idea for those
whose interests are greatest in this
section to hold meeting, and make
some united move in the premises.
