Bryan, but he has not taken the
time to think the subject out. Mr.
Gompers is an honest enthusiast, de-

he has not explored the path on

statesman must study history to its
foundation on every subject with
which he deals; he must weigh every
factor of every problem just as care
fully and accurately as the scientist
in his laboratory tests the unknown
and mysterious properties of matter.
The organizer of the great hosts of
labor cannot be statesman-he
has no time; the great generals of
business cannot be statesmen-they
have no time; the politician cannot

be king today, and capital may wear
the crown tomorrow; but only JUS
tice is everlasting; only justice sits
upon an eternal throne, mistaken
and unshakable. And only he who
takes his place at the right hand of
justice will endure.
The labor problem will be solved

HEYBURN'S POSITION.

That there will be a fight on Hey
burn in the Legislature on accoun:
OF his position on the primary law
question is the fear of some Various
counties have already held conven-
lions and nominated legislative can
didates pledged to vote for the en-
Actment Of such measure, which
would appear to mean that they are
also pledged to oppose the renomi-
nation OF Senator Hepburn.
This should not necessarily follow
IT. Twin Falls county. for instance.
the Republican convention pledged
itself to direct primary and at the
same time Endorsed Hepburn for re-
election.
The senator, in the estimation Of
the Tribune is not opposed to pri-
mary law. He fought against d.
rect primary plank in the state plat
form for very good and SUFFICIENT
reasons. During his speechmaking
campaign he has not attacked the
primary law proposition. but has
successfully explained and defended
his action at the Boise convention.
His defeat Of primary plank has
the purpose intended
throwing the question square'y be-
Acre the people for discussion. Mr..
Brady. Congressman French. Sena-
tor Borah. Col Hamer and other cam
a q
promptly taken the stump in favor
Of A primary law.
! State Chairman O'Neills state
ment leaves no doubt of the position
OF the state committee.
So far as Borah Is concerned. he
will, no matter what the state COM
mittee does or what any other public
speaker does, declare to the voters
Of the state that ne will put forth
every effort within his power to Sc
cure for them direct primary law
He wants no compromise on this
proposition and will promise that II
It is within his power to do so, he
will see that a law is enacted which
will place the nomination OF every
state officer from United States SEN
ator down in the hands OF the people.
Already influences are at work to
induce Hepburn to change his course
on this subject. but SO far appeals
have been In vain. He declares thai
he Is standing squarely on the plat
form of his party. and that the rep
rcsentatives of the party in conven
ton Endorsed his position. In view
OF this fact, he says. he is not only
