In the evolution by which marty
government has become the extra.
constitutional method Of securing re-
sponslbility to the people, the Repub-
lican party has become their tfadi-
tional representative and the Demo-
cratic party the organized. aspiration
OF individuals for power without re-
sponsibility. Fairly tried, from 1899
to 1895. the two Democratic houses
and the democratic president were a
wild team" and a helpless driver.
Democracy agitates local differences
republication organizes the national
idea. Inf1s6S the people were corr
mitted to the cause Of human lib
erty; the idea of liberty and uni
on expanded for the first time into
the reality Of the American nation.
In 1879 money was committed to
a specie basis; specie was at once.
until 1893, no longer sought and
government bonds went to premi-
um at the reduced rate Of interest.
In 1895 business men were again
committed to confidence; before a
single statute was enacted, prosper
lty set in and in ten years bank de-
posits almost trebled--- permanent
gain which the recent panic. a Estate

ROOSEVELT POLICY

GOVERNMENT BEING USED TO
FURTHER THE INTEREST OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARITY
SHAMEFUL PROSTITUTION OF
HIGH OFFICE.

The following dispatch from
Washington tells a tale of corrup-
ton that should make the people of
this nation think. The president has
not only shown a degree of partisan
ship and prostitution of his office to
political ends, never before heard of
but the departments at Washing
ton are honeycombed with corrup-
tlon. This is but an instance of the
way the peoples money is being
squandered for political purposes
and is another evidence Of the fact
that My policy" is to control the
succession to the presidency and the
election of congress by the prostitu-
ton OF federal patronage.

POLITICS IN IDAHO.
Borah Victorious Over Hepburn
Forces in Fremont County.
Especial Correspondence

St Anthony, Ida. April 3O-The most
stubbOrnly contested primary election
ever known in Fremont county was held
here today. Spirit and feeling ran high
as the elimination of ten days of the
hardest political work in lining up voters
came to its climax. Every available We
hicle and automobile in the city and sur
rounding country was rushed into serv-
ice Old friends worked against each
other as though they had been enemies
for years. 1t was n contest royal be-
tween the Hamer and Houghten forces,
or it may be termed the Borah-Hamer
and Houghten-Heyburn forces. A large
percentage of the vote was challenged
by both sides. Nearly 800 votes were cast,
which resulted in a victory for the
Hamer forces by a majority of 125. The
Hamer forces were led by c. c. Moore.
who left Immediately at the close of the
polls for other parts of the state
and is making a fierce fight for Hamer
against French. Late advices from the
county indicate that Hamer will have
solid delegation of thirty-seven from
Fremont. The feeling here is intense be-
tween the two factions and there are
also a few sore faces to be seen on the
street.

Chicago, April 22.-The general man
ager of the principal railways west of
Chicago and the representatives of men
engaged in train service announced toe
day their agreement as to the appliCa-
ton of the -sixteen-hour law. Crews are
not to be tied up unless it is apparent
that the trip cannot be completed
within the lawful time, and not then
until after the expiration of fourteen
hours on duty under the federal law or
within two hours of the time limit pro-
vided by state laws, if state laws gov
ern. Crews tied up by a less number
of hours than mentioned above are to
be regarded as tied up under the law,
and viii be paid.
When crews are tied up between ter
minals under the law they are to be
considered OF duty and under pay i'm
mediately upon the expiration of the
minimum legal period off duty applic-
able to the crew, provided the period of
rest for any member, eight or ten
hours, be the period of rest for the en-
tire crew. Crews tied UP will be paid
the time or mileage of their schedules
from initial point to tie-up point, and
when "tOwed or deadheaded" into ter
minal will be paid the same as If the
run were made. Pay is allowed for any
service for an engine crew II held re-
sponsible for the engine.

Washington, April PA clash between
counsel on technical points caused halt
today in the Hyde BensOn-D innond- Schnei-
der land fraud cases before Justice STAFF
ford. in criminal court. Assistant District
Attorney Stuart Mcnamara and a. S.
Worthington. an attorney for the defense.
engaged in a spirited colloquy, growing
out of the objection of the defense to the
testimony of James ]. Barnes. formerly q
clerk in the general land office.
The prosecution sought to show that
Barnes had received money from Fred
erick A Hyde. one of the defendants. to
expedite cases and rush the passing Of
title to public lands ''out of their regular
order i'm the land office. Barnes was be-
ing put through direct examination. and
when the government attorney asked him
regarding his deals with Hyde. Mr..
WorthingtOn for the defense entered a
prompt objection. Barnes. testimony was
similar TO that previously given by Viii
liam E. Walk and WOodford ID. Harlan.
who admitted accepting money from John
A. Benson TO rush matters through the
office in furtherance of the alleged fraud
ulent compact
In order that the points raised in the
objection of MIR Worthington might be
argued Barnes was temporarily excused
and the Jury retired from the room. Ar
gument on the law points involved took
UP the remainder of the day to adjourn
ment Justice Stafford will tomorrow pass
upon the competency of Barnes TO answer
the governments question.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS MEASURE
NOT REPUGNANT TO CONSTITUTION
Employers Liability Bill Signed by President Roosevelt Upon
Receiving Assurances From Mr. Bonaparte.

employe Any contract, rule, regula-
ton or device to enable the carrier to
exempt itself from liability under the
act is rendered void by specific
declaration to that end. Provision is
made, however, that the carrier shall
receive credit for any contribution
made to the employee or his family in
the form of insurance. relief. benefit or
indemnity. An action for the recovery
of damages must be commenced within
two years from the date of the cause
of the suit.
Opinion of Bonaparte.
In his opinion the attorney general
indicates that the bill is confined in its
scope TO common carriers by rail-
road" as distinguished from the act
declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court, which embraced "all COM
mon carriers engaged in Interstate
commerce and foreign commerce The
attorney general then shows through
court decisions and constitutional in
terpretations that this restriction does
not make the act repugnant TO the con-
stitution. but is in line with state stat
utes which have been upheld in the
highest tribunals.

VIOLATION Of
COMMERCE LAW
Express Companies Prohibited
From Transporting Prop
erty on Franks.

Chicago, April 22.-Judge Kohlsaat in
the United States circuit court issued
an injunction against the National.
American, Wells-FaTgO. United States
and Adams Express companies re-
straining them from issuing express
franks and from transporting property
in Interstate commerce in exchange for
franks.
The court declares that issuance of
franks by the companies is p violation
of the interstate commerce law. Fed
eral District Attorney Sims regards the
decision of special Importance for the
reason that the cases against the ex-
press companies depended largely upon
the construction placed upon the re-
striction against passes contained in
the railroad rate law. The suits were
brought Mr. Sims said, to settle ques-
tons growing out of the application of
interstate commerce laws to express

liability bill upon receiving an opinion
from Attorney General BOnaparte that
ixhe measure was constitutional.

death results in whole or in part from
the negligence of any of the officers,
agents or employees of such carriers or
by reason OF any defect or insufticiency
in equipment This provision is made
applicable to carriers in the territories,
the District of Columbia. the Panama
canal zone ard other possessions of the
United States.
Specific Declaration.
II is provided that in any action
brought under the provisions of the bill
the injured employee shall not be held
to have assumed the risk of his en-
pIoyment in any case where the viola
ton by the carrier of any statute en-
acted for the safety of employees con-
,tributed to the injury or death OF the
