After the candidates mad finished
their talks Monday night. Maj. L. T. L.
lar, who gracefully presided at the
meeting, and so happily introduced
the speakers, made a brief address on
the political outlook of the state and
discussed the constitutional amend
ment that he proposed for adoption
through the columns of this paper
some time ago. Major Izlar then in
troduced Mr.. j. w. Knight Of Floral
City. who is a candidate for comp
troller, who explained the unjust re-
port about his shortage as postmaster
at that place. Mr. Knight said that
the reverse of this was true, that in
stead of being short he was actually
OVer-remitted to the government, and
that the inspector will bear him out
in his statement. He said that the
matter had obtained currency in the
newspapers and otherwise simply to
injure his candidacy for the office. to
which he aspires. Although made al
most at the closing of the campaign.
he was fortunate enough to get its de-
NAL in the Times-Union, Ocala Ban
.ner, Ocala Star, Live Oak Democrat
and some other of the daily newspa-
pers of the state, and he believes that
the report would recoil on those who
circulated it and rebound in the end
to his benefit Mr.. Knight made a
very clear and concise statement, and
did so in such a manner that everyone
who heard him had absolute conf
dence in the truth of what he said.

is SO largely against the current year as to cause
much comment among immigration officials trans
portation men and newspapers.
Figuring from the basis of those that went away
and those that arrived the loss in alien labor for the
first half of 1908 amounts to 755034 persons
1t will be remembered that, Immediately following
the panic of last fall the exodus of alien laborers
to Europe began and the outflow has continued
steadily ever since, while the inflow has greatly de-
creased When the panic came all the immigrants
thrown out of employment who had not established
themselves in this country fled to their foreign homes
That the demand for labor has not since reasserted
itself IS shown by the uninterrupted continuance of
the eastward migration.
This is condition with which the United States
is unfamiliar, for hard times do not usually
drive away the thrifty people who have transp1anted
themselves from European poverty to American
comfort

The Attorneys First Job.

Mr.. Lingenfelter the newly installed federal at
orney for Idaho, has opened his office in Boise and
the first job assigned to him by the department of JUS
tce is civil action against Messrs. Hyde and Ben
son, distinguished purloiners of government land
The directions given by the department of Justice
alege that the defendants have absorbed some 5000
acres of timber land in Idaho through species of
conspiracy that is not described in detail
This is rather delicate matter for the new federal
attorney to handle, for the accused may have some
influential political friends who will become offend
ed The official life of the immediate predecessor
OF the federal attorney was snufed out by politician
who became offended because he prosecuted other
timber cases in compliance with instructions from
the department of justice similar to those recently
received by his successor.
The logic of the situation is, that if the federal
attorney proceeds with dutifu1 regard for the pre-
stunned desires of the prosecuting government he
will become subject to removal from office This is
not a strained Interpretation of the situation bv
which he is confronted One can be guided only
by precedent in these matters and precedent amply
sustainS this view of the case.

The Chairman's Opinions.

It was deemed by the Pocate1lo Tribune worth
while to procure the opinions of Chairman Brady,
of the republican committee, in relation to the work
of the Denver convention 1t was really not at all
important, for almost anybody could have outlined
the judgment of Chairman Brady in connection with
important action by the party which he is opposed
So will perish from astonishment upon
learning that he said among other things that
also purely dogmatic:
The east will not stand for Mr. Bryan the
principles he represents. Taft is the best equipped
for the position of president of the United
States that has been candidate of any party.
Ordinarily that would have been just the kind of
stereotyped remark to make when discussing the
chances of political opponent But this time it is
papable misft from his party standpoint.
The principles Mr.. Bryan represents those
enunciated in the platform of the convention by
which he was nominated With few not very i'm
portant exceptions, they the principles of Mr.
Roosevelt the republican president Mr. Taft is the
selection of Mr.. Roosevelt and if he properly repre-
sents that individual he believes in the things Mr.

Republican Anti=Polygamists.

1t is being whispered rather loudly in the lobby
of the Boise republican organization that strong
movement is in progress within the republican party
OF Boise in behalf of platform demand for 1egisa-
ton that will require the enforcement of the constit
tonal clause that DISTINGUISHES polygamsts teachers
of poygamy etc.
1t understood that the agitation for such an act
of good citizenship does not come from the machine
that has directed the destnes of the republican party
1t is the lay members who are wrestling with con-
science
But it may become necessary for the machine to
give heed to the rising insurgency that has begun
to cry out against the alliance between repub1canism
and the hierarchy for no machine can maintain its
authority unless it is supported by the votes of the
party
If the machine yields to the agtators it will lose
the support of its Mormon allies &c. between ex-
pediency and decency, the management is likely to
run in the deep while it is being extricated
from the clutches of Satan.
The desire of the considerable number of repub1i-
cans who represent the insurgency that is being
whispered about to their party from its COM
pact with sin is to be commended and is worthy
OF every encouragement that opportunity can bestow
1t is understood that the Ada county convention will
be asked take the initiative in this movement for
reform.
1t is further understood that Mr.. Brady has
thrown several fits

The story of the steamship companies that carry

economic conditions that repel rather than attract
The returns cover the first half of the year 1908
During that period 1866 persons of the aboring
class arrived at our ports from Europe and during
the same six months 377664 persons of the aboring

Roosevelt believes in and the things Mr.. Bryan be-
lieves in.
Consequently, if the east will not stand for Mr.
Bryan, it would not stand for Mr. Roosevelt and it
ought not to stand for Mr.. Taft unless he is foolng
the west The east as term, represents indie
finite quantity of land In its application to Mr..
Bryan it represents narrow strip of coast line upon
which have been constructed the temples of the
money changers
These he may scourge, but cannot convert. Their
hostility will have to be endured. But they will be
more than compensated for from among men of the
west who believe in the principles of Mr.. Roosevelt
and suspect the sincerity of Mr. Taft

A Lost Democrat.

democratic member of congress from New Jer-
sey, Mr.. Leake, hastens to Mr.. Taft that Mr.
Bryan and the Denver platform are repulsive to him
and that justice to his outraged sensibities com
mands him to support the republican ticket and plat
form.
Mr.. Leake whose indicates that his thatch
needs few patches, does not content himself with
the mental determination to bolt the Denver nom
nation He makes noise about it, expecting to
lead others into the camp of the enemy and to gain
the notoriety that open announcement of change
of base will bring to him.
The west is appalled, at anything that comes
out of New Jersy 1t is appraised by its historical re-
searches that at the close of the revolutionary war;
the mercenaries of the British army the Hessians,
many of them, settled in New Jersey For the acct
dent of birth men not to be blamed, but the
accident of birth may be used to account for such
idiosyncrasies the public is interested in or to
possibly account for them.
But Mr. Leake really belongs to the republican par
ty, feeling he does whether it comes out of ances-
trail faint love for the methods of the highwaymen
of monopoly. He says to Mr.. Taft that "the conser-
vative citizens of this country" must look to him
for protection against the of radica1ism and
class prejudice which will follow the Denver con-
vention."
This assurance may prove somewhat bewildering to
Mr. Taft who has been assured that he represents the
radicalism of Mr.. Roosevelt beside which Mr. Bryan
has been rated as conservative.
Other Leakes will appear as the campaign pro-
crosses, the expectation of eaky time ante dating
the apostasy of the New Jersey congressman. Men
will shift from party to party in considerable num-
bers, for the words have been spoken which assign
democracy and republcanism definitely to their re-
spective places the lines of conflict
Those who do not endorse the Jefersoniansm of
Denver will go to the Hamiltonism of Chicago and
there will be deserters from the doctrine of Chicago
to the doctrine of Denver The party that gains the
most in the shift will win the election and there is
strong probability that the converted Mr. Leake will
ind himself among the defeated when the November
votes counted
