The Republican County Ticket

Continued from last Week.
ID. 4 Winsor of Saratoga is the
nominee for the four year term
for County Commissioner. Mr..
Winsor is one of the most ccmpe-
tent business in the county. He
is well equipped with a good edu-
cation and excellent judgement.
A very popular man, with a large
circle of friends, he will certainly
prove to be the man for the place.
Matt Weber, of Snake river
was the choice of the convention
for the two-year term. He is an
upright man and will give the
county ar good service as it ever
had The election of both of
these men will assure the county
of a careful and just administra-
ton.
Miss Frances B. Smith, who
has already served two years as
county superintendent of schools,
WAS nominated to succeed her
self. She is a very bright, capa-
BILE, energetic young woman, and
her administration has been very
satisfactory turnout the entire
county. Her election is conceded
even at this early date.
The six republican members of
the House are Hon G.. M. Wink
leman, Hon. w. Z. Peryam. Chris
Mathison, James W. Case. and E.
NJ Sanders. Mr.. Winkleman has
already served one term as a men,
Der of the House and distinguish.
ed himself by his signal ability to
handle important matters and
take a broad and comprehensive
view of needed legislation. 1t is
believed he will be elected by the
largest majority ever given a nom
inee for the House.
Hon. w. I. Peryam has already
served two terms as Representa-
tive and has shown that he is a
most valuable man when it comes
to looking after the interests of
his constituents. To his inhu-
ence, more than that of any other
man, was important Legislation
for the entire state and especially
this part of Wyoming, accom-
plished during the last term.
Mr. Mathison is a young lawyer
of more than ordinary brilliancy
of mind and purpose. He will
make a good law-maker. James
w. Case is a true, honest man
with much practical sense who
commands the respect and esteem
of all who know him. Mr.. San
ders stands high among mining
men as one of those practical, re-
liable men, who always seems to
know his business. He is a sound
business man, practical in all
things and just the man for sound
legislation.

THE GUAR
ANTEE LAW
Mondell Gives Some History in
Connection With Its Work.
ines in Oklahoma.

The following clipped from the
Encampment Herald is what Mr..
Mondell said about the Oklahoma
Guarantee Law in his speech at
Encampment last Saturday night.
1t will amply pay every voter to
read it, if he wishes to understand
how the law works in Oklahoma:
"On account of Governor Has
kell being at the head of the
banking board in Oklahoma, the
bankers of hat state are afraid to
say anything for publication on
the Guarantee law, but ask any of
them what their private opinion
is, and, with the exception of the
Mushroom Bankers, it will be
found that the law is one of the
most damaging ever foisted upon
the statutes of any state.
"A First National Bank in one
of the old Oklahoma towns which
has been established for twenty
years, enjoys the distinction of
being tweniy-thlrd on the list of
banks as to soundness and stabil-
ity in the whole United States.
after the Guarantee law went
into effect, a young book-keeper
who had only been in the bank
about a year, quit and organized
a bank of his own with a capital
of $4,000. In a few months he
had deposits of 100000, or about
one-half of the deposits of the old
conservative bank that had made
such IA record for soundness and
stability. Old business men who
know him and his experience
make the statement that it is i'm
possible for him to stay in bust
ness long. Because the day will
soon come when the falacies of
the Guarantee law will be fully
exposed, and the depositors will
see, that it is of no effect as soon
as the Guarantee fund is exhaust
ed. In one months time ~ of
these get-rich-quick banks were
organized with small capital.
Their combined deposits
amount to millions. What Is to
become of the depositors money
if even three or four should fail?
The amount in the Guarantee
fund is at present only Sl35,OOO.
Not very much of a surplus, when
you consider that if two Of the
banks having 100000 deposit
should with small available as
sets, they would wipe out the fund.
Then if the depositors could not
be paid from the Guarantee fund,
a stampede or panic would drive
the State into bankruptcy.
SIN Oklahoma recently, when
there were eight old established
banks, two men of questionable
character started a bank. When
asked how they expected to get
deposits, they replied that they
would get them, as the state of
Oklahoma was back of them. This
feeling will cause a panic in that
state some day, that will shake it
to the very center. Not long ago
they found it necessary to raise
the tax from l per cent to II per
cent, as the money on hand in the
fund would not even pay the run
ming expenses of the Office. Black
well, Oklahoma, had a lot of
school money. The National
banks would not take it because
they we're charged too high rate
of interest, and they said to let
the State banks have it. In adj
ditional to the Guarantee tax the
state banks had to pay q per cent
on daily balances, making 4 per
cent. To meet this heavy tax
they are making loans indiscrimi-
nately, relying upon the State

of Discourses and see what Brigham Young and
other leaders of the poygamous church had to say
about the United States and the virtue OF women
in the days when their influence and power was SUI
preme in these mountain regions.
1t should be understood that the Pioneer has been
speaking of the Mormon church, and by this we mean
the leaders of Salt Lake City, and not the rank and
file of the church The people only guilty IN SO
far as they subscribe the dictates of the traorous
leaders. And in this the people should not be too
severely condemned, for many of them, IN their
blind fanaticism know not what they do. The
Mormon people are not unlike other people who have
followed false leaders and doctrines. 1t takes years
of education to teach them the error of their ways
There are encouraging signs, which accumuating
as time goes on, that the Mormon people. are
awakening to the fact that they have been faxed.
and that the day will when they will assert their
independence and Americanism and when that time
comes the Mormon" question will be settled.
The demand of the people of Idaho, and the
people of every other state where the Mormon
church holds sway, is not for the elimination OF
such men as Mr.. Dubois, but that the Mormon
people take stand for Amercanism against the
traitorous, aw-defying polygamous bunch at Salt
Lake City, which insists on violating the laws OF
the land, the laws of Cod and the laws of common
decency, and trying to "cram their doctrines down
the threats of the people of the United States.

The Boston Importation.

Commenting on the recent importation of Mormon
converts through the port of Boston and their de-
tention by the federal authorities the Ceur d Alene
Press says
There is polygamy among the Mormons; the
1OS foreign women who arrived at Boston harbor
bound for Salt Lake simply emigrants seeking
home in the west and the fact that they to be
shipped across the country in a special train is
mere incident. Because they all happen to be con-
vers of the Mormon faith and females is evidence
that they are being taken to Salt Lake to enter the
harems of the anointed saints of the church. 1t
would be crime to suspect them of being white
slaves for the polygamsts and good citizen would
dare to attack the Mormon religion because these
hundred young women have embraced religion and
are going west to embrace their polygamous brother
members of the church 1t is an outrage on the
apostles of the church and its polygamous members
and populate the EARTH and they should be protected
in the performance of their religious duty in i'm
porting white girls to become mothers of their illegi
innate children. There is polygamy; it is a
ligion and must not be assaulted. The immigration
officers at Boston committing outrage
those poor girls by holding them. This will be
the natural line argument put up by the Mormons
and those who opposed to attacking any mans
religion"
1t is opinion that every Mormon directly in
directly connected with bringing those poor deuded
to this country ought to be prosecuted under
the laws of the country prohibiting the Importation
of women for immoral purposes regardless of the
fact that attempt is being made to throw about it
the cloak of religion

Able, Clean and Honest.

The Troy News, anti-machine republican news
paper, extends its support to the democratic candl-
date for governor of Idaho, saying:
Dr. Whitwell nominated by the democratic con-
venton for governor of Idaho, is one of the very
best in the state He is able clean and honest,
orthy the respect and confidence of the people of
all sections, and if elected will be governor Of the
entire state. He is a broad-minded has had
perience state senator, and man in every
way worthy the high honor conferred He was nom
mated by the nt1-MOrmOn convention receiving
the solid vote of the Latah county delegates. DIR.
Whtwe is the kind of man the editor of the Troy
News will be pleased to help elect, for in
parison with Brady he stands like the pyramids of
Egypt compared to the insignificant ant hills at their
mighty base 1t seems to there ought to be little
difficulty in the minds of the patriotic republicans of
we'll, for the latter is every inch man, every
a patriotic citizen of state the former all that
is implied in the lowest Interpretation of machine
politics and corrupt ring rule AS state senator DR..
Whtwel voted for the people and stood for their in
terests; Brady was the head of republican machine
that betrayed the people and repudiated its platform
pledges. DR.. Whitwell was nominated by the people
because he is worthy the nomination, and capable
OF being their governor; Brady will be nominated by
the Brady Mormon machine, will be the candidate Of
the gang of renegade republicans that lied
to the people two years ago, and if elected will not
represent the citizens of this state. The News ap-
peas to the republicans of Idaho in the of their
manhood to raise above party lines, and with
OF our responsibilities good citizens, vote for
Dr. Whitwell against the republican offering of
rank and rotten party machine Brady is not fit
man and not worthy the support of republicans who
love the state and honor the records of the grand old
party. By our votes let utter, in uncertain
Tone our eternal protest against disgusting, sick
ening party record of broken promises and repud-
lated pledges.

Or6aniZed Fruit Growers.

which to handle and market their crops and to en-

the market in such a way that the highest prices
will be secured and the profit of the industry largely
augmented The Weiser Signal tells the story
The efforts to these will in the next few
days bring results that will astonish their most ar

The Bhu Pioneer quotes the following from the
Lewiston Tribune and appends its comments ::
There is not a more orderly temperate thrifty
people are Their towns and villages, schools,
churches societies and even their cannishness show
it. The court records, ails and prisons show it.
There is less crime and less lawleSsness among the
Mormon people than among the other set
The Buhl paper discusses the statement made by
the Lewiston paper, saying
The insinuatons contained therein rank
insult to the Christian people of the state. The
Pioneer is willing to admit that there people
who belong to the Mormon church who are just
honest as chaste and good citizens those of
other organizations, but they not better" and
the intelligent Mormons do not claim to be better
We know that in Mormon settlements secluded
from outside influences it is for the members
of the so-called church to claim that they Gods
special servants and that they only, have the true
and everlasting religion 1t is still quite common
for Mormon speakers to eXhort to their congrega-
ton of the superior qualities of the Mormon people

The Tribune probably in effort to draw the
attention of the Mormon leaders in Salt Lake City,
claims that the only thing that makes the Mormons
reasonable and criminal sect is the naked dec

able ignorance Let the Tribune take time to send to
Washington for copy of the proceedings in the

proof enough of the crminaity and reasonable
ness of the Mormon church, then let the Lewiston

TESTING LOCOMOTIVES.
How q New Engine Is Broken In For
It's Destined Work,


A new locomotive engine undergoes
thorough test before it is sent out on
the road to take It's share of work.
When new engine Is taken into a
shop it Is turned over to a mechanic
whose duty it is to fit it up and make
all connections and adjustments of the
interior mechanism, says Scientific
American. This completed. the engine
Is turned over to fireman. who steams
it up and blows 1t off in order to re-
move any grease that may have accu
mulated In the boiler or such foreign
substances as might cause a boiler to
foam" while In service. The engine
is then turned over to an engineer,
whose duty it is to break it in. The
engine is steamed up again and if il
will run is taken for little try-out
about the yard.
If all goes we'll and there is no heat
ing in the journals or brasses. the en-
CINE is worked for few hours. and
then the steam is again blown off 1t
is next sent out on Il long distance trip
at {, speed varying from one to twenty
miles an hour and drawing about half
its full load.
Heating is one of the principal dis
eases of an engine, and it is this fea-
ture the engineer looks to more than
anything else. The mechanical sense
of the experienced engineer is so devel-
oped that he can detect the least de-
feet about his engine.

Maintenance Of Macadam Roads.

No macadam road is going to be
permanent unless you keep the coar-
ser stones covered up. A floor will
never wear out if you keep 1t carpeted,
and just the same treatment will keep
the road from wearing out. Carpet it,
patch it, but patch 1t and carpet it
with the same kind of material as it
is made of-crushed stone-and not
with mud from the shoulders or
bitches. A highway commissioner or
pathmaster who will scrape lot Of
mud on top Of gravel or stone road
ought to be the center Of attraction at
the rear end Of four mules standing at
different angles and be kicked into
cooked hat, to be worn on the head Of
some bad roads enthusiast" that the
enthusiast may be known Of all men
for what he really is-a Ounce. Every
contractor should be required to leave
at least five cubic yards Of stone chips
to the mile. not dust, but chips,
measuring from one-eighth inch to
three-quarters inch, and whenever
there Is depression that will hold
quart Of water put in quart of
stone and little more. If this is
done three or four times a year over
all your macadam roads you will be
surprised how little it costs to keep
them in repair. However, If allowed
to get out of repair you will be as
much surprised to see how quickly
they will go to pieces. The best way
Is, If you do not intend to keep them
in perfect repair, don't ever pay out
the money to build then>
