tactics that successfully employed in the pre-
lminary campaign of 1904 are now again on trial
Those the tactics that gave the reactionaries
the selection of the presidential candidate and en-
abed them to lead the party to worse than disas-
trous defeat.
Speaking for the East, the New Haven paper says
that the rank and file will not again submit or
surrender to the conservative or reactionary ee-
ment, who care nothing for principle and are in
politics for what they make out of it."
The reactionares have abandoned their tactics of
four years ago only far as to overlook the East
in their search for a man with whom to beat Bryan
They are trying to the West with Western
man, one they have long had under the grooming
process.
The dimensions of their conspiracy are not known
1t will be measure of safety for the friends of
Mr.. Bryan to that questionable delegates are
sent to the Denver convention from the conventions
of the States. The Democrats of Idaho are espe-
cially warned against the Vaccinations of the Nor
mon church, which belongs to the monopostic class
and has interests to defend and protect.
All representatives of predatory wealth are band
ed together to secure the defeat in the convention
of Mr. Bryan and no Democratic assistant of the
Salt Lake hierarchy can be trusted at this important
juncture in the affairs of the Democratic party
Week by week the conviction is growing that Mr.
Bryan will be elected President of the United States
if nominated and this conviction is stimulating the
unholy crusade against him Here in Idaho, The
Scimitar is informed, Democrats are being sounded
on the proposition of the system to nominate Gov
ernor Johnson of Minnesota, instead of Mr.. Bryan.
The movement meets with no visible encourage
ment but the ploters insiduous in their meth
DDS as the Mormon church and there is safety only
in vigilance.

The Fight Against Bryan.

A far East newspaper, representing what there
is of so-ca1led conservatism in the remote Atlantic
region, the New Haven Connecticut Union says :
The movement foot to eliminate Mr.. Bryan
from the Democratic nomination has been secretly
planned for some time. 1t came into the 1imelight
at the meeting of the Democratic National commit
tee in Washington last month. The people engaged
in it bo1ted Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900 and wouldn't
vote for him if he nominated in 1908 Ninety
per cent of the Democratic party is in favor of the
venton in July. In our judgment he can poll from
one-ha1f million to million votes more than any
other Democrat. If Mr. Bryan cannot be elected, in
our humble Judgment the Democratic party cannot
elect any one

Working for Their Client.

Some one has observed that most of the Demo
cratic oratory the State against continuing the
issue of poyganly in the platform of the party falls
from the lips of attorneys An attorney always has
a moral and legal right to talk about his own case
and to use such arguments the interests of his
client may demand
But the jury is not always bound to accept the
doctrine he breaches, knowing that he would not
argue the other way if he believed the other way to
be the right way.
So we have the curious spectacle here in Idaho
of peaders going about among the Democrats of
the State and urging them to oppose the anti-po-
lygamy issue the excuse that their party can
secure votes that sold and delivered to the Re-
publican party. 1t ordinarily requires something
more effective than the sophistry of attorney to
prevail On of one party to accept the important
doctrine of the other party under the expectation
that they will thereby secure votes from the other
party
The Republican party declares through its alliance
with Mormonism and through its delivery of the
fruits of the alliance, that poygamy is sound doc
trine and should be sustained, making the right to
many wives cardinal principle of that political or
ganization. The orators maintain that the other
party should place itself on the same side of the
issue in contravention of all precedent and in viola
ton of the ethics of parties.
In this line of special pleading the orator becomes
merely an attorney and should therefore possess no
influence in matters purely political The true adj
wiser in matters of party policy is one that takes
principle for his guide in fashoning his course If
he believes the things that the other party conspicu-
ously believes in and practices, his place is in the
other party

A Species of Bribery.

Representative Lilley, of Connecticut has commit
ted act that is reprehensble in the eyes of Speaker
Cannon, of the House of Representatives, repre-
hensible that the Speaker declined to appoint him
as member of an investigating committee created
under the terms of Mr.. Li1eys resolution Cour-
tesy suggested that he should have been made chair
of the committee, but he is not even Law
member.
Mr. Lilley, who is a Republican member of Con-
gress, alleged in resolution that members of the
House naval affairs committee had been unduly
influenced by the Electric Boat Company a seeker
for contracts for the construction of submarine naval
craft, and a committee of the House was appointed
to inquire into the charges.
The specifications state that the boat building COM
pany has maintained a lobby at Washington, has
subscribed to campaign funds in behalf of some of
the members of the committee naval affairs and
has used large of money to defeat the election
of other members of that committee The inference
is that the boat building corporation interested it
self in the defeat of members of the committee whom
it could not control and in the reelection of those
members whom it could control, and Mr.. Lleys con-
science led him to declare that the methods of the
corporation equivalent to bribery.
Through long process of training, the Speaker of
the House of Representatives may have become
schooled to tolerant view of the fat frying indu1-
genC1eS OF the past eXCuS1ng great deal that might
happen the ground that it was beneficial to the
party. In his broadened view he may have con-
Guided that prejudiced member of the House ought
not to a committee of that character and
he accordingly committed breach of parliamentary
etiquette and turned down the aspiring Mr. Lil1ey.
The offending Congressman alleges in his charges
that from 1898 up to the present time, the efforts
of the Electric and Holland companies (the former
the successor of the latter) have resulted in abso
lutely suppressing any possibility of competition in
submarine construction" The charges claim fur
Their that the offending corporations endeavored to
corruptly influence members of Congress and off
Gals of the navy department and Mr.. Lil1ey fears
that they may have succeeded in some instances.
All this is interesting, and the most interesting
part of it is that the House has begun to pay at
tention. 1t is not thing-the charge upon the
floor of Congress- that the to whom large ship

of the Republican party. 1t industry that
fourished during the pa1my days of Mark Hanna's
machine and some of the shpbuders protested that
they did not get enough out of their contracts to
them for their contributions.
1t is to be hoped that the investigation started by
Mr.. Lilley will not degenerate into a withdrawing
experience With Mr.. Lley at the head of the
committee it would seem like a genuine in

A Soldiers Loot.

In the Chinese war of 1860 the
English army had great success
in looting the territory over run.
A private soldier, after the TAX
ing of the Taku forts, came across
the dead body of "tsong ping"
or general. and promptly annexed
the gorgeous gown and hat of the
slain Celestial dignitary. He took
these garments home with him
sold them to Jew dealer.
Shortly afterwards the dealer re
ceived an order from a tea dealer
for suit of Chinsman's raiment.
He made, as he thought, good
bargain for the particularly fine
clothes he had bought. Shortly
after the peace, a high official
from the Chinese Legation was
surprised and shocked to see a
vulgar-looking foreign devil"
attired in the full uniform of a
Chinese general giving out bills
outside teashop. With the
Chinese, clothes are very solemn
and important things, and a for
NAL complaint was made to the
Foreign Secretary of the gross in
dignity. Pressure was brought
to bear upon the tea merchant to
put his man into toggery of a
more humble order; but he stood
on his rights until the Chinese
minister bought the uniform at a
very high figure and sent it back
to Pekin.
Judge Osboldstone, of this
place, was with the British Army
at the time this incident took
place. and at present has medal.

1.-THE OLD WORLD AND ITS WAYS"
By william Jennings Bryan.

This remarkable book of 575
pages, voluminously illustrated
and elegantly bound. has been
issued by The Thompson Pub
fishing Company" of St. Louis.
Mo-, and is sold by subscription.
We would advise our young
friends who are out of employ
ment to seek the agency and can
vass for this book. 1t is certainly
one of the most readable, enter
tanning and edifying volumes we
have read in long time. 1t was
almost like retracing our first "trip
around the world, with less than
one-thousandth of the money and
one-hundredth of the time re-
quired for our first rrip'"
The great problems of civili-
zation, religion, philosophy and
government in Japan, China. the
Philippines. India, as we'll as
Europe, are presented in clear
light by great brain.
Mr.. Bryan was accompanied on
this trip by his wife and two
younger children, William Jr.
and Grace. aged 16 and IA, re-
spectively. They started Sep
tember 21, 1905, and reached
home September 3, 1906, sixteen
days less than one year. While
most of this trip was in the North
Temperate Zone, they were below
the equator few days in Java
and for a while above the artic
circle in Norway.

Predicted, All should Smudge."
and decided to stay over and join
a smudging crowd should the op-
portunity offer. Accordingly we
visited the weather bureau and
arranged that we should be called
in case the freeze came. About
l o'clock the fire whistle blew
and we knew that smudging was
on. The chief at the weather
bureau had telephoned all over
the valley and the growers were
up and at work. He also tele-
phoned our hotel and the clerk
called US. We had selected the
ranch of VIM. Hamilton some FIVE
miles out of the city as we were
told we would be able to see the
work done scientifically at his
place. He has fine twenty acre
apple orchard. but this was his
first work with smudging pots
and he was working ten acres.
When we arrived there we
found 1000 pots ablaze on the
ten acres. For the last mile we
had driven through dense
smoke. When we entered the
orchard it was like passing from
winter to summer, almost, and a
pretty sight those 1000 fires made
in the blackness of the night. To
show the success | will give the
thermometer readings at 3 m:
Three hundred and thirty feet
outside of the heat zone the read
ing was twenty-five degrees; fifty
feet inside the fire line it was
thirty-three and in the center OF
the orchard thirty nine.
This ten acres will make a full
crop and Mr.. Hamilton told us
that he would not take $4,000 for
the fruit prospect on this ten
acres. His other ten acres will
be total failure.
He uses a smudging pot that
holds about one gallon OF crude
oil. The oil costs him three cents
per gallon and one gallon is sup
posed to answer for one night.
but we observed that several pots
were re-filled and we think that
about $40 worth of oil was burned
last night in that orchard. This
with the wages tor the six men
employed in the work will make
the cost of last nights fire less
than $50 and $4,000 of fruit was
saved. This is the fourth night
he has smudged. The first night
cost him $500 which included the
cost of the pots but they are good
for a long term of years.
Orchardists are arranging to
build large cisterns and fill with
oil, SO that whenever year comes
that they need fire they will be
like the FIVE wise virgins.

gives graphic description, show
ing how the Great Frost King,
who with his chilling, biting
breath ruins all fruit and vege-
tables in his path was routed by
the wide awake orchardists OF
Colorado. 1t shows that raising
fruit even in Colorado is no prim

DEAR SIR
This country has been hard hit
by the recent frosts. In some
parts of the fruit district the tenn
perature has been as low as
twenty degrees. However. in
the higher attitudes the freeze
was less severe The fruit crop
will range from almost a failure
in attitudes of about 5000 feet all
the way to almost full crop in
the sections 1000 feet or more
higher. Our place IS about 6,20O
feet high and an optimistic feel
ing prevails among the growers
of that vicinity.
However. King Frost is not
allowed to win, in some sections
without battle. Saturday last we
drove to Paonia, there we were
told that when the cold wave
word came the FIRE. whistle blew,
bells were rung aud all ranchmen
were called by telephone. 1t is
said that countless thousands of
fires were kindled all over the
orchard area. Anything that
would burn was used. hay, ma
nure, wood; and in the higher
lands above the orchards hun
dreds of standing cedars were
fired. These burned SO fercely
that a strong wind was created
and the might" was saved. 1t is
said that hardly man was left in
town, but all worked and that
many women aided in the work.
This was repeated for three nights
and Paonia will ship lots of fruit
this year.
We had heard of scientific
smudging and it fell to our lot to
witness the same. We arrived in
Grand Junction, Colorado at 9
p. m. yesterday intending,to leave
for Salt Lake City at midnight,
