by their fruits We shall know
them" In the performance of duty
and the fulfillment of solemn prom
Uses, the people may well Judge the
future by the past. The Republican
party of Idaho in the present cam
paign is willing to go before the vot-
ers at the general election on its rec
ord. A continuation of the Republi-
can administration of the last six
years, in intention and attainment, is
promised by the candidate of the par
ty for the governorship, Hon. James
H. Brady.
During the last six years of Repub-
lican rule Idaho has had two COVER
nors. Hon. John T. Morrison. who
served from January, 1903, to Janu-
airy, 1905, and Hon. Frank r. Good
ing, the present chief executive, who
succeeded Governor Morrison, and
who will have served two terms in
January of the coming year.
Morrison's Term Ranks High.
Governor Morrison was chosen by
his party because of his rare intellec-
tual qualifications and general fitness
for the office of governor. and his
record gives adequate evidence that
no mistake was made. Upon assum-
ing his duties he Immediately set to
work to rectify such mistakes as had
been made by preceding Democratic
such irregular practices as had been
followed in the various departments,
working at all times to the end that
strict business principles should be
everywhere applied. AS a result, his
administration ranks high for the bus
inesslike manner in which 1t was con-
Quoted and ground work was laid
for further success along the same
lines by succeeding Republican adj
ministrations.
Gooding Gives Business Administra-
ton.
Governor Gooding, who IS now
serving his second term as the states
chief executive, was first nominated
as a business man; was elected under
a direct promise to give the state a
business administration, and at the
close of his first term as governor had
made his pledge good. The people
gave him their hearty Endorsement by
selecting him for a second term which
has matched the first in the wisdom
of executive action, while 1t is conf
IDENTIFY predicted that when the people
are fully advised the verdict of ap-
proval of Republican rule will agar
be given and q continuation of Re-
publican control of state affairs be
demanded by an even larger vote thar
in 1906. y

Voters Are Judges.
What Is the Republican party's rec
ord in the administration of state at

charge of them? 1t Is the purpose t.
give some of the more importan
achievements and then leave the vo
tiers to Judge whether they shall no

men who have done so much for then
and for their state.
There are three great divisions o
government in every state In thu
Union--the legislative, the executive
and the judicial. In the performance
of the first function the governor rec
ommends to the legislature the enact
ment of such, laws as he deems neces
sary. and credit for wise action Il
given to him and to the representa-
lives. During the last two sessions o
the legislature, acting upon the direc
recommendations of the governor, {
large number of good laws have beer
passed. and under his direction have
been rigidly enforced. All of thes'
are too numerous to name, but som'
were and are epoch making, and de
serve mention and comment.
Republican Laws Bring Reform.
Perhaps the laws which deserve t
be given the chief place In this rol
of honor are those which Were de
signed and have tended to more sure
" guard and protect the sanctsty o
the home. Among these are the law
which prohibit the practices of adul
terry and polygamy. and which dis
franchise those men and women WHIT
lead immoral lives. OF equal i'm
portanee are the laws passed for tn;
control of unfortunate and delinquen
children. The delinquent child's law
which was passed by the Legislature
with the hearty approval of Governor
Gooding. has resulted in the contro

under former laws would either hav'
gone unchecked, or being punished

state industrial school, has resulted II

Depository Law Is Efficient.
When the Republicans were return
ed to power in 1908, Governor Morri
son, recognizing the great evils at
tending the handling of state fund
under the system then in existence
recommended that the legislature en-
act proper depository laws for stat,
and county money. Largely through
his efforts a state depository law wa
