The result of Tuesdays election
should be a warning to the Republi-
can machine of this state. The fall
ing off in the Republican majorities
for state candidates can be attributed
to just one thing. People don't want
men in state Offices who do not mea-
sure up to the full responsibility of
citizenship. Another election may be
needed to convince the Republican
leaders that there is an issue above
party ACKNOWLEDGMENT. That issue is
simply honest administration of the
duties to which the state officers
pledge themselves. Other issues can
not serve as a cloak for the officials to
hide behind and deceive the people.

The plurality given Hughes in New
York state despite the opposition Of
Wall street and the tin horns, shows
that tucked away in the minds of the
majority of people is a deep seated
love for the square deal and for the
man who plays the game like a
sportsman. Hughes will now have an
opportunity to show more than ever
that he is made of presidential stuff.
II he is able to cope successfully with
one of the deepest rooted evils of his
state, 1t will place him on footing
with Roosevelt and make his nomina-
ton imperative in four years. While
he does not WELD big stick, yet he
has Observation-Disclosures that accom-
plishes things, and that Is what the
American voters want.

THE PRESIDENCY AS A PARTY
ASSET

President Roosevelt's recent plunge
into the partizan warfare of the cam
paign has raised question wider than
that of it's effect upon the political sit
uation. Although rumors that the
president would probably take the
stump in behalf Of Mr.. Taft have sub
sided, the echoes Of his epistolary duel
with the Democratic candidate are
still family reverberating through the
press, and Independent and Republic
can as we'll as Democratic papers are
questioning the propriety of his high
office being carried into the range of
mud-slinging. Mr.. Bryan himself pro-
tests vigorously against IAN office
which belongs to the whole people"

even foreign papers comment upon the
situation with a considerable show of
interest.

Development Of Gem State Under Irri.
CATION Causing Interest All Over
the Country.

Portland, Nov 3.-Idaho's magnifi-
cent development through irrigation is
attracting international attention, but
no other city in the United States
seems to take such a direct and per-
sonal interest in this remarkable adj
vance as is felt by the business men
and general citizenship Of Portland.
The Portland newspapers have con-
stantly kept their readers advised of
the progress that was being made.
Among recent guests at the Portland
Commercial club was a special dele
cation composed of Messrs. James Nc
MILAN, w. P. Guthrie, John F. Han

Portland and other cities to get point

more hearty welcome, and all the

The refusal of the Republican party
to put the direct primary plank in the
state platform is to blame to a great
extent for the Republican votes that
went astray. Another factor for
which the party paid a dear price was
the lining of the brewers and liquor
dealers up with the Democrats because
of local option. The Times fully
believes that in this case the votes
lost will be compensated by the
votes that in two years more will be
given them by the Independent ele-
ment, which is getting stronger each
year. This element is merely waiting
until it's strength is sufficient, when
it will force either of the two domin-
ant parties to enter the state politics
on a strong platform of reform.

hood had been reused by the action OF
the land company in securing exclu-
sive fishing rights. These people had
fished and hunted without interior
ence until the company had secured
injunctions. They regarded the COM
pany and the club as their enemies,
undertaking to deprive them of their
means of livelihood. The court had
held that fishermen must sell their
catches to fish company which had
leased the fishing rights from the land
company, and the people resented this
limitation upon their hitherto unre-
stricted occupation. The judge who
passed upon the lease has been shot
at, and, fearing assassination, is said
never to sleep at home. Acts of vio-
lence have been committed. The eli
max came when the two lawyers were
set upon at midnight by an armed body
of men. One of them was hanged to
tree and his body riddled with bullets;
the other, in spite of his seventy
year ., ooSe1pcO w a iuoC, anu was leo-
cued after thirty-six hours in
swamp. This is the latest and most
dramatic outrage committed by what
are called might riders" Not long
ago a crowd of these lawless towards
in revenge for some act which had
reused their unrestvained indignation,
attacked a man in his house and in
cold blood killed him, his wife, and
his two children. This happened in
Kentucky Because of discomfort with
prices and conditions of the market,
night riders have been burning cot
ton gins in Georgia and in Missouri.
Indeed, night riders are becoming a
menace throughout many parts of the
south. One sheriff in Arkansas and
another in South Carolina have won
honor for themselves and their COM
munity by facing mobs Of night riders
and upholding in their persons the
majesty of the law. The night riders
first made their conspicuous appear
ance in the tobacco fields Of Kentucky,
fighting with vengeful and cowardly
violence the Tobacco Trust and the
growers who dealt with the trust. The
example of these Kentucky night rid
ers has now, as we have said, extend
ed to the growers OF cotton and even
to the fishermen and pot-hunters OF
the mountains. Civilization is at an
end in democratic community when
the masses of the people in that COM
munity become imbued with the no.
ton that the way to cure wrong or to
secure redress is by private war and
assassination. Those people Of the
south who care most for the good
name of the south are most keenly
aware of this Governor Patterson, OF
Tennessee, has expressed the hope
that the governors of Missouri, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama may Join with

The four-fold increase in the Social
list vote In this county is an indica-
ton of the rapid spread of the doc
trine in the western states, where the
natural independence of man is not
crushed out by injustice. The eastern
states have been for a number of
years honeycombed by the various
ideas advanced, and the Debs vote is
indicative of the numerical strength
of the party. In another four years
they will have to be reckoned with as
a political asset.

listed between him and the deceased.
He proved a complete alibi showing
that he had passed the night away
from the house with a friend, having
obtained leave for that purpose. and
not returning until just after the body
was found. His demeanor, as was
perhaps natural when his fondness for
the girl was taken into consideration,
was that of a man half frantic with
grlef, but he bore up well under the
cross examination and replied to every
question asked him with promptness
and lucidity that left no doubt as to
his innocence.
The dyke furthermore averred that
the girl had acted strangely for sever.
al days and that he believed her to
nave committed suicide. This asser-
ZION was corroborated by several of
the servants, although their testimony
did not greatly impress the officers,
who were we'll aware that none of the
dukes domestics was likely to con-
tradict any statement made by their
employer. Shaw alone ventured to de.
ny the allegation, but his word was not
of sufficient weight to establish the
girls sanity, and in the end Ellen
Crosby was officially declared to have
destroyed herself while In an I'M.
sound state OF mind.
1t may be plainly stated, however,
that neither NJ. Claude nor his assist
ants believed that the unfortunate
victim had gone to her death as de-
scribed by the verdict. Popular opin-
ion held the duke responsible for her
demise and in their hearts the inmates
OF the prefecture agreed with this
view. But to attempt to convict the
duke was useless.
Meanwhile, to the surprise of many.
Henry Shaw continued in the dukes
service. He had succeeded in gaining
the confidence of his master and all
or the latter's secrets, even including
that of the fraud by which he had
obtained the greater part of his
wealth, were in his possession.
Beyond expressing his belief in Ell.
len Crosby's sanity, Shaw made no ef.
fort towards exposing the true facts
OF the girls sad fate, and wrapped
himself in a mantle OF fmpenetrable
reserve that effectually withstood the
Inquiries OF all his associates.
But still waters run deep. and this
man who apparently took no further
interest in the tragedy was i'm reality
planning bitter revenge upon the
inc'vidual ShOm he regarded as the
author OF his sweethesrt's death. He
knew that the hardest blow he could
strike the nIiser would be to deprive
him OF his treasures that were dearer
to him than his life blood. The first
step he took in the furtherance OF his
scheme was to write a letter to the
duke of Molinford in London, pledgina
himself in return for a sum Of 100 900
francs to restore to the family OF the
duke Of Lambay the diamonds OF
which their unscrupulous kinsman
had defrauded them.
