Some of the state papers complain
that the railroad managers were in
vited to come before the legislative
committee when matters of impor-
lance to them was being considered
and that the farmers were not no.
tilted when matters pertaining to their
welfare was up to be acted upon. It
appears so far that the present leg
islative bodies have given the agri-
cultural people due consideration,
more than on former occasions, and
that their interests will be carefully
guarded. However, this may not hold
good during the entire session.

light has been thrown on the subject
within recent years in connection
with the race question of the South,
and especially by the writings of Ray
Stannard Baker, who has been Study
ing the race question and through it
has always been brought so certainly
back to the liquor question, that we
shall publish some of his writings
that have so effectually Influenced
conclusions of all classes as shown in
recent elections in the South.
We ask readers to study the ques-
ton with a desire to learn; not with
a view of getting up an argument.
There are individuals and newspa

matter purely for argument sake,
and it would not matter which side
they took, if only somebody else
would stand where they could OPP

idle and not worthy OF. attention. We
do not invite writer's to contribute

The Pettibone Trial.

The trial of Geo. A. Pettibone on
the charge of conspiracy in the Steu-
nenberg murder is over. and the jury
rendered q verdict of acquittal after
fourteen hours of elaboration. The
evidence was similar to that of the
Haywood case, it was tried before
the same judge, and the effect was
practically the same. He was ac-
quilted by the jury, and yet convict
ed to a great extent in public opinion
The other official, Chas. Meyer
who was held for trial, has been dis
charged, and this ends the great
case. Much bitterness has grown out
of it, much prejudice has been al
layed, and much revealed to the ma
ton, concerning the workings of the
Federation, and the Mine Owners
Association. Since Haywoods ac-
quittal, he has gone about saying and
doing things that even his friends
did not approve, and he has been re-
lieved of his Office in the Federation.
Now If he is great man as many
fondly believe, he will rise, and If
not, he will adjust himself to the
level in which he belongs.

associations were the cause of his
down fall-persons and places are
the cause of our crime.
"You have forgotten our schools;
are they not preventative institu-
tions?" Yes indeed, they are. Edu-
cation opens the vista of ambition
and prevents much crime. But our
schools are only open six hours per
day and again the keys repose in the
pocket of some janitor.
We have in these schools tempo
rary plants for prevention. Open
them at night; put in games, gym
nasiums baths and the fear of the
saloon is passed.
Give the boy during his dangerous
period an ounce of prevention and
you will not need the pound of cure
for the man.

MEMBER EASTERN IDAHO PRESS CLUB
Governor and State Auditor Clash.

Governor Gooding and State Audi
tor Bragaw have had disagreement
about paying the bills of the Pinker-
tons in the Steunenberg case. 1t
seems to have come about this way:
1t was agreed in the beginning,
that no expense should be spared to
bring the murderer to justice, who
ever he might be, and in planning to
follow clues they had, it would be
necessary to employ detectives to go
into all kinds of places to run men
down who seemed to be implicated.
In doing this, they had to go where
such men go, and mingle with them,
frequently drinking with them and
in other ways squandering money
among them and being a good fell
low" and one of them. In such
cases, no receipt could be taken for
expenses without revealing the fact
that he was detective, and 1t was
agreed that good men should be en-
ployed to go on such jobs, and their
bills allowed and paid. For nearly
two years this course was pursued,
then Auditor Bragaw decided to
draw no more warrants unless bills
were itemized and receipts filed. This
blocked further investigation, and
Federation men asked to be allowed
to examine all bills already filed to
determine who the men were who
had been doing the work. Auditor
Bragaw allowed this, although, the
governor says, they had agreed that
this should mot be allowed until the
investigation was finished, and If it
were allowed then, some officials
lives would be in danger when the
Federation men learned just who had
been working and what had been
done. The whole subject was laid
open to investigation, and another
assassination soon followed at Baker
City, the man who had been the
means of capturing Steve Adams, be-
ing the victim. This seemed to prove
that the Governors theory was cor
rect, and when further investigation
was commenced to folloy up current
clues to crime, Auditor Bragaw again
refused to draw warrants unless bills
were itemized and mems identity re-
vealed. Hot words and heated dis
cussions took place in the capitol
building, and Bragaw has been charg-
ed with laughing heartily at having
blocked further investigation of
crime, and placing valuable informa-
ton in the hands of Federation men.
|. A statement of these matters was
published in the Boise Statesman, and
now Auditor Bragaw has sued Gov
ernor Gooding and the Statesman for
$4,000 damage to his reputation.
The Capital News and the Audi
tor Eecna to tare The view that all in
Ivestigation of recent assassinations
was graft, while the administration
consider that the way to stop crime
lis to follow 1t to the last ditch and
punish the offenders.
Orchard says he committed a lot
of crimes, and cited circumstances
which partly proved his claim that
pther men were backing him. Now
1t is up to the administration to de-
kefmine what to do with Orchard.
Nobody claims that Orchard assassi-
hated the man who captured Steve

entiary, and the crime lends color

MARKS ON BODY FOUND NEAR
GAINESVILLE.
Coroner's Jury Called to Investigate
Story-Husband Tells of
Last Parting.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Dec. 2S.-[Spe-
cial. There is considerable suspicion
that Mrs. Madeline Odell Clayton, the
Chicago woman who has been missing
since last November, met her death by
foul play and the district attorney has
ordered a coroner's jury to hold an in
yestigation.
Chief of Police Appleby admits he is
puzzled.
''It might have been a case of acct
dental death, but it seems unlikely, be-
cause the water is quite shallow where
the body was found,' said the chief
There was no quarrel between the
woman and the husband that we know
of. and we have no reason to suspect
any one Of killing her."
Mr.. and Mrs. Clayton had been con-
Quoting 'clairvoyant parlors" in James
vile for about three weeks when she
disappeared. On that night they dined
together in a restaurant and parted
company at 1870. He went to his place
of business on the south side of the city,
and she, as he supposed, to their room
ing house. Clayton returned an hour
later. and expressed surprise at her alb
sence. He searched the city for her all
night, and the next day reported her
disappearance to the police.
Subsequently he visited relatives of
hers in Freeport ILL.,, and Milwaukee,
and then came on to see her mother, but
getting no clue to her whereabouts, ap.
pealed to the papers to publish the story
of her disappearance and her photograph.
Clayton met his wife in theatrical cir,
cles. She was born in Fairbury, Ill.
twenty-four years ago, and was brought
to Chicago when an infant. After grad
uating from the Stevan seminary five
years ago she entered the chorus with
the Murray & Mack company and later
travelled with '"The Beauty Doctor" She
was with this company last February
when she and Clayton, who is 80 years
old, went to st. Joe and got married.
After that she Travelled with her husband
as his assistant.

in teaching and later took a two-years'
course at the Knoxville Pa) academy.
