sTILINGER IS UNFAIR.

County Attorney Stillinger has not
treated the county commissioners night
or fair in the matter OF the recent fight
over the granting Of saloon licenses in
Latah county. To question put IN
writing asking a pertinent question:
and entitled to fair reply, Mr. Still
linger showed a spirit Of anfairness that
is not commendable. Certainly Mr..
Stillinger would not for a moment have
the people understand that he lacks
the ability to interpret a plain statuteF
Surely he is not so cowardly as 10 fear
that his reputation could suffer if he
interpreted law for which he is in no
way responsible? The board had a
right to an honest, fair, plain answer
to their plain, fair question. But Mr..
Stillinger lodged, with the evident in
tention Of throwing all responsibility
onto the shoulders of the board. tits,
to say the least, both ,unprolessional
and cow1dly, and will not serve the
evident purpose Of Mr.. Shllinger to
stand in with both sides. He will find
that he cannot carry water on both
shoulders, and his sharp practices are
not going to fool many thoughtful
people. When pressed for a direct
answer Mr.. Stillinger said Yes, but it
will not be worth anything, as shown
by my former opinion this day filed. "
In other words Mr.. Stillinger had given
the board an evasive answer, and plain
ly tells them as much when the board
demanded plain reply. And this is
our county attorney. This is the man
ner of legal advisor the people of Latah
county have to instruct their commits
sioners in matters of great importance.
Involved in Mr.. Stillinger's answer were
saloon licenses amounting to S845O.

DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

The republican party of Idaho would
not be so far into the pool of political
oblivion if the Brady regulators had
not failed in the last legislate to enact
a direct primary law. 1t is sure-thing
remedy to put the political boss into
his coffin. The Tacoma Ledger, com
menting on the recent election held in
that city under the direct primary law,
said: 1t is triumph of decency and
order over disgraceful disregard of the
the law; Of wholesome political meth
DDS over unwholesome bossisms; of the
square deal over the stacked deck;'
and that must ever be the result where
the people are permitted to have free
hand in the management of their own
affairs.

IS BRADY THE RIGHT MAN ?

II Brady can answer the several
questions put to him by the Troy
News, but don't. is he not unfit for
governor OF this state? II he cannot
answer them he certainly has no right
to the votes OF the people. The fact
that Mr.. Brady has built up a political
machine, powerful enough to absolute
ly dictate the policy and name the
next republican ticket does not prove
that republicans will blindly vote for
the slate named by Brady. The Brady
policy seems to be one of utter indif-
ference to public demands and a disre-
gard Of the rights otthe people that is
nothing short of an outrage. The
truth is Brady dare not speak. He
dare not offend the power that defeated
the railroad commission bill, and sent
the anti-pass bill, pledged by the. re-
publican platform, down to defeat.
He dare not antagonize the power
that stood back Of Senator Hart, the
Mormon, political tool OF the Oregon
Short Line railroad, and compelled him
to Cpl ose and defeat legislation
pledged by a republican platform.
Brady dare not tell the people Of Idaho
that he will sign railroad commission
bill. He dare not demand that such a
plank be written in the next republi-
can platform. Brady dare not come
out in favor of equal taxation and a
square deal in the assessment Of rail-
road property. Brady dare not con-
denim the reputation Of the last repub-
lican platform by republicans; he dare
not speak out on any Of these issues at
this time He dare not propose any
measure not in harmony with the inter
ests of the railroads. Above all Brady
dare not assert himself in behalf of the
people, taking definite stand on i'm
portant measures. Is Brady, then, the
kind Of governor the people of Idaho
want? As a republican are you going
to vote this kind Of a politician into
Office? Are you ready to accept for
your chief executive the head Of self
made political machine? If so, then
republicans have reached a point
where they care little for the future
welfare Of their state.

GUM SHOE POLITICS.

Gum shoe politics is not the kind
that will appeal to the honest voters OF
Latah county. Yet it looks like the
republican county central committee
is now in control of the gum shoe
gang. Quietly, but with certainty,
few republican politicians, long since
in disrepute, men whose records will
not stand the light Of day, have gath
cred up the loose ends of the repub-
lican county organization, and have
constructed machine, the purpose Of
which is to dictate the future policy
OF Latah county iepublicanism. 1t is
not necessary to mention names. 1t
ought to be plain to any observing
man.

A HOPEFUL SIGN.

The most hopeful sign Of the times
is the rapid breaking away Of the peo-
pie from the idea Of party. That there
is good and bad in all parties, and that
there are even some dishonest repub-
licans, is no longer questioned. Nor
does the great mass of the people now
accept with unquestioning and child
like simplicity just anything the politi-
cal ringsters may see fit to hand out.
The patriotic citizen understands that
he has duty to perform when he
casts his ballot. He realizes that it is
principles, not the fat job Of this OF
that politician, that is Of vital importance.
And this year, as never before, the
voters Of this great nation will assert
their manhood and exercise their citi-
ship, not at the dictation Of a party
boss, but for the good Of the whole
people.
