THE IDAHO SITUATION.

If political post-mortems were at all
recent Wallace convention of Idaho
Democrats and draw some more or
less fervid conclusions from that mud
die. AS IL is, no Democrat who has
any regard for his party or for the
fate of the state and national ticket in
Idaho can get any satisfaction out of
the situation.
The fight which terminated at Wal
lace i'm two conventions and a double
ticket was inevitable. 1t had been ap-
parent for some time that Senator Du-
bois meant to control the party ma
chinery at any cost; and the proceed
ings showed that even the loss of the
state was preferred by the senator's
friends to any sort of compromise with
the men who opposed him. To retain
control of the machinery. the Dubois
faction threw out the delegations from
the southeastern counties who had been
regularly elected and who were palm
ly entitled to their seats; and the in
evitable followed.
That is past history now; what con-
Germs the party in and cut of the state
is some way of saving the wreckage
1t is not too late for an arrangement
which will permit the consolidation of
the electoral ticket so that Mr. Bryan
shall have the benefit of the full party
vote in the presidential election. The
national committee should make every
effort to secure this arrangement, and
it should make known where the re-
sponsibility lies if it fails in its eff
forts. There is no good reason why
the presidential ticket should be sac
rificed along with the hope of electing
the state ticket: and whatever is to
be done to unravel the tangle should be
done at once.
The factional fight in the state has
gone so far that it is hopeless to ex-
pect any compromise this year on local
issues. but the interests at stake in the
national campaign are so large and so
important that no obstacle should be
permitted to stand in the way of a
single electoral ticket.

LOW ABOUT HISGEN.

Long and anxious search has failed to
clear up the obscurity which attaches to
the Hearst candidate for the presiden-
cy, Mr. Hisgen of Massachusetts,. 1t
is known that he was candidate for
governor of his state last year and
made a strong race, and it is assumed
that he has some elements of popular
ity, or he would not have polled SO
many votes among the folks who know
who he is.
But (and this is the cause of solicit
tude) no one out here knows how old
he is, whether he smokes or drinks,
what is the color of his hair, whether
he wears Richard Harding Davis face
or the common billygoat lambrequins
that would fit his name. Is he short or
long, broad or narrow? Does he affect
the high hat, spats and long coat Of
Boston, or is he democratic enough
to don common headgear and ordinary
clothes? Is he married or single? Is
he
But what's the use? If he stood any
earthly chance of making = showing
in the race we should have had all
these important particulars long ago
His picture would have appeared in
full length, bust size. profile and front
view; we should have had a descrip-
ton of his skill in making clam chow
der his preference in bathing suits and
the particular style of haircut he at
fects.
Only one little ray of light has been
shed on his character, and that comes
from an obscure little print down at
Petersburg, Ind, where, it seems, the
Hisgens are great people. According
to the Petersburg paper, Thomas visit
ed the scenes of his boyhood there not
long ago and attended a dance given by
his married sister. The party was all
ready for the wild dissipation of a Pc

TALLY Hisgen must be a good fellow:
all fiddlers are. But it Is a pity the
Petersburg editor with his facilities
for information at first hand, didn't
complete the story. The fact that a
man can play the fiddle doesn't really
determine whether he is a good man
for the presidency or not.

CAMPAIGNING FOR TAFT.

AS the country had right TO expect, the
reversal by the United States circuit court
of appeals of the decision of the district
court against the Standard Oil company
which involved the $29. 000, 900 fine has had
a bracing effect on general trade. The
case goes back TO the lower court for a
new trial. in which hysteria will probably
have a smaller part than ii had in the
sun which has just been set aside. The
country wants TO see the laws enforced
against all sorts of offenders high and
low. but we must protect the courts from
any appearance of surrender to dema-
Cogic clamOr. We must prevent prose-
cution from degenerating into anything
which may look like persecution
Thus sayeth James y. Van CIeve,
president of the National Association of
Manufacturers, in the current number
If American Industries. Van Cleve is
one of the coterie of men who are
preaching Taft as the savior of the
country and predicting a revival of
business the morning after election in
case Taft be chosen. The present de-
preston. of course, is charged off the
books as due TO natural causes. Incl

cards and Immediately asked why the
factories were not running now. The
full dinner pair was promised when
Roosevelt and Fairbanks were elected,
and Mr.. Baker wanted to know how it
happened that the bottom fell out
of it,
The action of Van Cleve and the
Leather Betting company simply proves
that the protected industries of the
country are banded together in the eff
fort TO elect Taft with the promise, ex-
plicit or i'm led, that il the tariff is
revised at all it will be up instead of
down.
Van Cleve's words regarding the ac-
ton of the circuit court of appeals in
the Standard Oil case are direct bid
for the vote of the lawbreakers of the
country. Elect Taft and escape pun
ishment'' is the battlecry of this partic-
ular stripe of captains of industry who,
even if devoid of conscience, know full
well they should be punished. 1t is all
very well TO talk of the laws prohib-
iting this or that offense, but what
good will the laws do if Taft isn't 60
ing to enforce them if he's elected?
In one of the old copybooks was the
line, THE guilty thief doth fear each
bank and bush and officer" Perhaps
the knowledge of wrongdoing and the
fear of punishment has considerable to
do with the war; re being waged by a
certain class of manufacturers.
