poor fellow unto death.
While the coroners jury verdict has
not cleared the chief Of the charge
of manslaughter preferred against
him by the bereaved and sorrowing
widow. it is the opinion of the Nampa
press that the case will be dropped.
If this is done, and no right minded

THE PEOPLE WITH HIM.

When the Hon. James II Wallis.
state pure food commissioner,
stepped on the toes of some ninety
real estate dealers in Twin Falls, by
declaring the water of that city not
fit to drink. the papers of the
Magic" sagebrush town jumped
all over James. with their hob
nailed editorial shoes. Up to that
time they had lauded his righteous
activities, but the real estate deal
ers seem to control the press down
there when it comes to matters
which are liable to effect their bust
ness
But the truth is that Wallis is, in
this instance. as he has been all
along, perfectly right, as is fully
proven by the fact that the well-to-
do residents of Twin Falls pay for
the hauling of Blue Lakes water for
drinking purposes, every day in the
year. The distance is miles. and
even rich people refrain from pay
ing for water if they can get a fairly
decent article free. The poor people OF
the little city content themselves
with boiling the germs out of the
local supply of aqua-referring to
water. not whiskey
We are credibly informed that the
poor people constituting the ma.
/ jority class. as in all places) are
thoroughly in accord with Mr. Wallis
and are longing for pure water.

DOES HE DESERVE IT?


1t is now proposed to present Rob
ert e. Peary, the Csupposedl dis
coverer Of the North Pole with a gold
medal and the thanks of congress,
a bill to this end having been in
troduced.
The action would be most eminent
ly fitting provided it was generally
known and believed that Peary ever
reached the Pole.
There are many things that lead us
to believe that he was no more the
discoverer of that much-sought piece
of land than was Cook.
In the first place we do not be-
lieve that any geographical society,
either in America or Copenhagen, is
capable of passing an poinion on the
subject, and, in the second place, We
have been Doubling Thomas
ever since we learned that Peary had
found the pole" just as soon as he
had found" that Cook claimed he
had found the pole
OF course, we do not attempt TO
say that the Lieutenant was not there
and that he did not plant the Stars
and Stripes in a mound of snow and
ice that God Almighty had especially
prepared to designate the spot for the
planting. but we are still doubling

EVERY INCH a NEWSPAPER

We often wonder if the people Of
Idaho appreciate the Boise States
man" at its true worth.
In the whole Inter-Mountain coun-
try there is not a paper its superior
in any feature that goes to the mink
ing of a periodical of the first class,
and this in the face of the fact that
its field is necessarily limited. 1t is
a newspaper in the strictest sense.
Not even in its makeup is there the
shade of yellow and it comes near
er being absolutely Independent than
any paper in the west, with the pos
sible exception of the "Oregonian.'
1t is spending many times the
money. its field considered. spent by
any other paper in Idaho to give its
patrons an adequate service, and it
employs the best editorial and repe-
torial staff at the highest wages.
The Statesman" is every inch a
newspaper and its management is to
be applauded and congratulated.

Under the law. Coe would become
the candidate. although he was the
real. or first choice, of only 800
out of $4,000 people voting. Doe
received ,OO5 first choice votes, but
failed of a majority of all by virtue
of five votes being thrown out be-
cause Indicating no second choice.
Being the strongest first choice,
he would naturally be the weakest
second choice, whereas the weakest
first choice man might be the strong
est second choice; and in the second
choice canvass the law dominates the
man receiving the highest number
OF first and second choice votes.
BY throwing out those five votes, un-
mistakably expressing a preference
for Doe for the position, the real
choice az the party is defeated. The
situation gives cause for all the more
concern in the light of the possibility
of hundreds of first choice votes be-
ing thrown out.
If it should be held that ballots
not indicating both a first and sec
Ond choice should not be counted, It
might become impossible for any man
to secure a majority of all the first
choice votes
Unfair as that would be, the courts
would likely not consider the ques-
! ton from the candidate point of view.
They would be more apt to look to
+ the protection of the voter
In all such cases the intent OF the
voter has been the guiding factor.
If a voter marked his ballot for John
Doe and failed to indicate second
choice. surely his vote on that par
ticular Office should not be lost TO
him.
There is no intent here of attack
ing the first and second choice prin-
~iole. Every voter should be given
th privilege of indicating a second
~ ice after he has expressed his pre-
ference for the nomination; but he
should not be compelled to vote for
a second choice, and if he shall fail
to do So, he should not be deprived
Of his vote for the man of his choice.
such a condition. it seems, would
vitiate the fundamental doctrine of
the direct primary. which is to fur
nish an untrammeled opportunity to
the people to nominate their choice.
In any event, it seems the question
should be decided in advance, if pos
sible. to the end that the voter under
stands exactly where he is at. If
failure to indicate a second choice
is to deprive him of his vote. and,
possibly, defeat the real choice of
the party advance information would
so emphasize that fact on his mind
as to minimize the chances of such
an outcome.

They are privileged. according TO
these decisions. to grant liquor IL
censes or refuse to grant them to

With all due respect for the SUI

it being law at all. We know that
it is eminently bad logic and prece-

THIS SHOULD BE FINAL.

A great many OF our people have

so general that it has acted in a
deterrent manner on our local de-

is entirely natural in that the name,

might know, inflicted the following
letter to James Stephenson. Jr., state
engineer, Boise, Idaho, under date
of February 3. 1910:
'The sunnyside Settlers Com
mittee has been informed that the
facts preclude the possibility of the
Twin Falls people ever securing
water from the Snake river with
which TO water the Sunnyside tract,
because there is none there owned
by them or available for that pur-
pose. And that the water of Boise
river has been legally filed on by
other people thus making it impos-
sible for anyone else to secure water
from that source for the Sunnyside
tract. and we respectfully write to
You to ascertain the truth of these
claims if it is within your power
to enlighten u.s. and not against the
public interests for YOU to disclose
this information.
To this inquiry he has received
the following reply of date Of Feb
ruary 8. and has consented that we
publish the correspondence:
II am just in receipt of yours Of

say that you are correct. The Twin

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. of Suffering Is Enormous
and There Seems but Ono
Remedy.

From several Investigations that
have been made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis it is estimated
that on an average about Is per
cent of the prison population Of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out Of the $4,000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time, no less than 10000 are infected
with the disease. If the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of tbe prisons Of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places Of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state, and in the major
ity of cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.
