FROM WASHINGTON

We received good long letter
Friday from Congressman Ed.
Taylor in which he takes excep-
tions to criticism made by the
JOURNAL. We have always been
an admirer of Ed Taylor and gave
him credit for being honest in his
position. The trouble with Mr..
Taylor is his premises are wrong.
He assumes that the grazing lands
now in the forest reserve should
be settled by ranchmen. AS a
matter of fact these lands are
about timber line, and in fact all
grazing lands 5000 feet above sea
level, are not suitable for agricul-
tural purposes.
Practically all the homestead
lands in Colorado have been taken
up and all that are left are open to
the homesteader. We would sug-
gest that Mr.. Taylor spend little
time at the forest headquarters in
Washington and post himself more
fully.

THE ACCOMPLISHMENT

The newspapers of Idaho which are
the strongest in praise of Governor
James H. Brady, are the loudest in
laud of the direct primary. They
divide time in exaltation of the chief
executive and homage of the new svs-
tenn. A stranger could not help but
think after reading the average Ida
no newspaper that the advent of the
governor and the direct primary were
simultaneous, when as a matter of
TACT II governor Brady is what his
friends claim him to be, he IS
shining refutation of every argument
ever advanced by a direct primary
advocate because he is the result of tho
old convention plan. The direct prt-
mary advocates in Idaho. today. are
compelled to condemn the convention
system and extol its results. They
point out the necessity for the law
while asking the people to endorse
the accomplishments of a system the

POPULARITY THE SOLE ISSUE

Tho most casual observer could
hardly fail to remark the fact that
Hon. B. F. O'Neil of Wallace, is an
active candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor. Hon.
O'Neil is a rich man and consequently
it is quite appropriate that he should
be a candidate. Were it otherwise he
would stand little chance of achieving
a success under our present system.
This is no rejection on Mr.. O'Neil, be-
cause no man without wealth or public
patronage, can ever hope to be gov
ernor OF Idaho under the direct pri-
mary. That is fact quite settled.
Without spending money in any ques-
tionable manner, the expense of Sc
curing a nomination for state office,
is beyond the poor man henceforth in
Idaho. AS above stated Mr.. O'Neil is
a candidate for the Republican NOM
ination. The question naturally arises
in the minds of all, What will be the
issue? Under the system the exploit
tation of the personality of the candi-
date is the contemplated method of
winning popular approval. Mr..
O'Neil can quito legitimately offer
himself without attacking the state
administration in any manner. He
need have no principles or policies of
government to advocate; he need have
no legislation to propose; he need have
nothing except himself. If he can
smile his way into the good graces of
the people his success is assured. If
he can make the people like him, he
will be nominated. In the past prin-
ciples of government have occupied
too little attention; in the future they
will occupy none. 1t is now a ques-
ton of popularity and wealth. Both
the candidates have these qualities in
a greater or less degree. The present
incumbent has no doubt made enemies.
but he has appointees all over the
state. He will have opposition, but
ne has the prestige of his office be-
hind him. 1t is simply a question of
popularity Popularity in a large
measure is bought and sold like any
other commodity. That is what makes
the direct primary expensive and that
will be the issue.

PURE SEED LAWS NEEDED

1t transpired at the meeting of tAs
pure seed men in Caldwell last week
that Idaho is one of the few states
having no pure seed law. As pointed
out by Mr.. D. R. Hubbard, the conse-
quences arc that this state is made
the dumping ground for the small,
unclean and diseased seeds of the
country. The need for legislation
regulating the sale of seed in Idaho
is easily apparent to all. The remark
able fertility of soil of Idaho linked
with an almost perfect climate, has
IN large measure overcome the han
dicap of unclean seed, as the pure
seed show abundantly proved. But
the state should not be compelled to
overcome this handicap. The farmers
are entitled to protection from those

PINCHOT REMOVED:

When the affairs in tho administra-
ton had reached such a crisis that
President Taft felt called upon :, re-
move Clifford Pinchot from office, there
was man back in Washington who
had license to feel gleeful. That man
was Senator W. B. Hepburn from the
State of Idaho. Senator HEPBURN
took up the fight against the forest
reserve policy of the government when
1t was not popular to do so. He fought
against the bureau and it's methods of
setting aside law; defying the inter
ests of the people; being responsible
to nothing on earth save Pinchot. He
attacked the Roosevelt's administra-
TONS forestry methods and lived to see
those methods and their author de-
posed. Senator Hepburn certainly is
entitled to a little self-congratulation
,on the results of his work in the United
States Senate.
1t was clearly apparent to all
months ago that the Chief Forester
would have to go. He could not serve
under an administration which prom
erly respected the law of the land.
The trouble with Pinchot is that he
has the ambition of Bounapart with
the ability of ward heller. He got
pulled Up by the confidence reposed in
him by President Roosevelt, and finally
busted like toy balloon. He imagined
ne could handle the thunderbolts of
Roosevelt and found that he was hard
ly OF that calibre. The country has
not lost anything in the passing of
The people expected President Taft
to remove the head of the forestry
bureau. They were not disappointed.
The President waited patiently for
the opportune moment. He gave the
calf rope with the result that there
was a hanging in the Agricultural
Department. The west is to be- con-
graduated upon the result. The pol
ley of the bureau will be in accord
ance with law in the future. 1t will
will be for the present as well as
the future as the President says :"for
90 sane person can contend that it is
Tor the common good that natures
blessing are only for the unborn gen
erations." The policy enunciated in
those few words means a great change
m the policy of the government to-
ward the forests. A change to that
policy is all Idaho and the west ever
asked.

BOISE HAS A TONG WAR

When the tong war among the CHI
nese of San Francisco broke out most
of US thought that this time San
Francisco certainly had something on
Boise. But Boise is not to be disposed
of in that way. When it comes to the
production of sensations, extravagan-
zas, hippograffs and tong wars, Boise
is hep to the job. Boise would no
more think of passing up a tong war
than she would overlook changing the
main line of the Oregon Short Line.
There is nothing on earth that has not
its counterpart in Boise. Boise has
earthquakes, spots on the sun, unicoues
griffins and other fabulous monsters,
Boise has monsoons, typhoons and
typanites; she has coal trusts, ice
trusts, Mount Pelees, DR.. Cooks and
the Statesman. She has politicians,
heirarchs, gynarchs, homunculi, and
the seven year itch. Do you thing
Boise would fall down on a tong war?
Not on your life. A tong war is nee
essary adjunct to the great uplift.
Sometimes liberal potions of samshu
arc necessary to fully appreciate
some of Bosses sensations. You have
to stretch your inauguration a little
to see a tong war in a back alley
fracas engaged in by a couple of
drunken washerman; but then vivid
imagination is necessary to sec some
of Bosses numerous railroads. II
fact imagination is always necessary
at Boise. When the wind is in tn,
southeast Boise can take her magma
ton and coupling pin and construc
a grand trunk line from Butte to Sal
Diego, without spending a cent or rails
ing a sweat. Boise is there on al
things and especially on tong wars.
