REPUBLICAN PARTY IN IDAHO

ince of the republican party to
carry out the will of the people
In the northern and progressive
states the republican party has
been in power most OF the time
since 1860, by promptly espous-
ing the reforms demanded by
the best thought Of the time. Its
platforms have been clear cut
with no double or doubtful
meaning. When given the con-
fidence OF the electorate upon
any proposition, it has been the
proud boast OF the republican
party that it carried out its plat
form pledges. This has been
true in Idaho as we'll as in other
states until the last election. 1t
must be admitted, with a blush
of shame, that when given pow
err upon definite platform pledg.
es to carry out certain reforms
In this state, the republican
party ignored its pledges to the
people. Not many men it is
true proved unfaithful to the
trust reposed in them, but o lit
tie coterie headed by Jno. W.
Hart, baked all remedial legis-
lation and now the whole party
has to suffer for it. This con-
dition Of affairs has given our
democratic friends considerable
encouragement and they are
holding little meetings and con-
ferences and telling each other
how they can win this fall. II
the republican leaders do not
look the situation fairly in the
face and govern themselves ac-
cordingly there is a possibility
that the democrats are right
about it. There should be no
attempt to excuse, palliate or
explain the failure of the repub-
lican party to carry out its plat
form pledges. Frankly admit
that sufficient care was not
taken in all cases in the selec-
ton of men for the legislature.
Notwithstanding the strenuous
efforts OF Gov. Gooding and
many other good men, to keep
faith with the people their eff
forts proved futile, by reason of
the active opposition of those
who were, evidently, elected to
see that the platform pledges
were nullified.
There is no question but the
majority of the people of Idaho
believe in the doctrines of the
republican party. All they
want to know is that the repub-
lican party will carry out its
pledges and their confidence
and support will not be with
held.
For the republican party to
win in Idaho at the next cleo.
ton it needs to make only q
clean, conservative platform
pledging the party to carry out
the reforms demanded by the
people and then nominate men
for the various officers of such
well known character and in.
tegrity that there will be ne
question as to what they will do

The Cotton Oil Company was or
ganized some years ago, and had
plants at Bamberg and Denmark, the
Bamberg plant being much larger
than that at Denmark. The capital
stock of the company is $4,000, and
the plant at Bamberg was fine one.
The building was two stories, OF
brick, with large seed house, hull
house, etc. 1t cannot be said yet
whether the Plant will be rebuilt, but
it is hoped that it will be. 1t would
be a great blow to the interests of the
town and country should the plant
not be rebuilt, and we believe the
stockholders will realize the neces-
sity of rebuilding. We must not get
discouraged, but go ahead and trl-
umph over misfortune.
Bamberg is under great obliga-
tions to Charleston for her help, and
also to Orangeburg for the loan OF

charge for the special train from
Charleston. The officials of the COM
pany have written letter to Agent
Eaves to this effect, and their kind
ness is greatly appreciated by all, all
the more so as it was unexpected.

Hurt in SaWmill Accident.

Gaffney, November 22.-Richard
RUSSELL a white man, who runs a
sawmill near Kings Creek, met with
what was probably fatal accident
yesterday afternoon. In some way
his arm was caught in the belt of the
driving wheel, throwing his head
against the pin which holds the
wheel on the shaft, which penetrated
his brain. At 8 o'clock last night he
was still unconscious, and his ply
sicians says there is very little hope
of his recovery. Russell formerly
lived in Yorkville, where he is well
known.

brothers and A. D. Covington are
under arrest charged with the shoot
ing.
All of the participants are among
the most prominent men of the coun-
ty.
The trouble had been brewing for
some time and to-day friends brought
the participants together in hope OF
settling the difference.

In discussing the political situa-
ton in Atlanta in regard to the may
or's race, the Atlanta Journal puts
in plain language the position all
candidates for public Office should
occupy before the people. 1t says:
"It is impossible to disassociate a
mans private life from his public
character when he becomes rep
resentative of the people," Exactly
so, and yet you hear lot of bowling
from politicians in every campaign
about newspapers going into mans
private character. They say it is
wrong and should not be done, and
yet everybody knows that mans
actions in private life are an index
of what they will be in public life.
If a man is dishonest in his pri-
vate business transactions, is it not
perfectly reasonable to believe that
he will be dishonest in a public po-
sition? Certainly no mans public
character is better than his private
life, so away with the foolish idea
of not going into a mans private
life when he becomes candidate for
public Office.

Some newspaper men in South
Carolina ought to read the postal
laws governing admission of newspa-
pers as second glass matter. During
the past few weeks we have received
various exchanges which had in them
supplements of all sizes, none OF
them conforming to the size of the
paper, and yet the postal regulations
are as plain as can be on this point.
It would be good idea for the State
Press Association to discuss this mat
ter at it's next meeting and enlighten
some of the. brethren, especially in
view of the fact that there is a big
postal deficit, and it is likely that the
next session of congress will take
some action in reference to second
class mail matter.

AFTERMATH OF GREGORY CASE
Roanoke Dentist May be Invited to
Leave Town.

Roanoke, Va, November 21.-Ever
since the verdict of mot guilty. was
rendered Tuesday in the case, charg-
ing DR.. w. S. Gregory, a wealthy
Roanoke dentist, with an attempt at
criminal assault on chlOrofOrmed
patient in his Office, there have been
open and caustic adverse expressions
on the result OF the trial on all sides.
There have been many stories that
leading business men would wait on
Gregory and tell him he must get OF
Of town. Other rumors are that a
mass meeting will be called at which
citizens will express their indigna-
tion and call on the dentist to leave
Roanoke.
A party of negroes last night wait
ed on Lee Martin, the colored assist
ant to Gregory and chief witness for
the defense at the recent trial, and
warned him to leave the city. He
made his departure early to-day.
That Gregory is considered an unde-
sirable citizen appears to be the view
of a. large per ceptage OF the people,
il open street talk counts for any.
thing.
1t is said Martin had since the
trial been showed off the sidewalks
on number of occasions by negroes.
In the meantime Gregory continues
to pursue the even tenor of his way.
Gregory's alleged victim and her
friends have received a number of
communications of vul-
gar nature through the mails.
