THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

The Republican party is in no con-
dition for the approaching campaign
as direct result of the rect pri-
mary system. Every politician in the
state, Republican and Democrat,
knows it to be true that there is dis
satisfaction and generalization gen
orally throughout the ranks of the
party. 1t may be an deal condition
for the people but it augurs i'll for
candidates now and two years hence
In Idaho, as in every other state, the
direct primary will prove hard on the
majority party. The wounds made
at the primary election will not heal
in three months. The defeated can
didates may say that they hope the r
successful rivals may win at the polls
but nobody really believes them. The
average man will put on a Cheerful
face; publicly wish his primary op
ponent we'll and vote the Democratic
ticket. When you stop to think that
there are twenty-five or thirty de
feated cand dates in every county in
the state you can commence to re-
alize the seriousness of the situation.
Suppose that the Democrats should
elect their state ticket. Suppose by
accident they should give the state a
remarkably able, clean and efficient
administration of public affa RS
Would it not be reasonable to sup
pose that the people of Idaho would
re-elect the administration and pos
sibly elect Democratic Unted
States senator to succeed Senator
Borah. That we think would be n
great calamity but greater m racles
have happened in politics. It is by no
means impossible. The people of
Idaho have just nominated former
Congressman French over Congress
man Hamer and yet it is acknowledge
ed by everybody that Col. Hamer had
made most remarkable record. Sen.
ator Borah has made a remarkable
record, but he too may fall by the
wayside at the next election.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION

ne Republican state platform de-
clares for the creation of a railroad
commission. Why the railroads
should be seized upon at this time it
does not explain. The Tribune is
convinced that the people of Idaho
are not in favor of the creation OF
such commission; and the Republi-
cans n their county platforms should
repudiate the state platform in this
particular. The members of the state
legislature are officers of the respect
i've counties and they should be
pledged to legislat on by the respect
i've counties. Only where there is a
general and well defined public sen
timent n favor of a particular meas
ure should that measure be endorsed
IN the state platform The people of
Ada county may think a railroad
commission advisable while the people
of hammock county may think the
same ill-advised. The members from
Bannock county should not be pledg-
ed by the people of Ada county nor
by the State Central committee The
State committee should have left the
railroad COMMISSION to the people of
the counties. If there be sufficient
public sentiment throughout the
state that sentiment can make itself
felt without any help from the plat
form makers of tn estate Central
committee.
The Tribune is opposed to the ere
alton of railroad commiss on at this
time. This commission can be crea
ted at any time. There need be no
haste. When Idaho has achieved
that development we all hope for:
when the state has sufficient railroad
facilities; then proper regulat on will
become a question in this state. It

THE STATE CHAIRMAN.

The Republicans have selected for
chairman of the State Central Com
m ttee Charles L. Heitman of Rath-
drum. Mr.. Hoffman will arrive ir
Boise this week and Immediately take
charge of the campaign. 1t is need
less to say that the interests of the
party will be properly taken care of
by the Chairman. For over twent,
years now Judge Hoffman has been
a prom .nent, influential and energetic
member of the Republican party. His
advice, counsel and help have been So
licited and freely given the party at
every campaign. He has served on
the State Central Committee for a
great many years, and several times
as vice-chairman. In the latter ca
pacity he virtually had charge of af-
fairs n north Idaho. AS the northern
part of the state usually showed up
right on election day, Republicans
may rest assured that the control of
the party is not in the hands of any
novice. He is capable, faithful, eff
cent and energetic.
There S no position on the Repub-
lican ticket that Judge Hoffman could
not have had at some time or Other
since 1896. The nomination for diff
ferent positions has been offered him
time and again but he never cared to
accept He is man n politics ap-
parently for the sole reason that he
enjoys the game. AT a future date
Judge Hoffman may decide that he
would like few of the honors as
well as the hard work of politics. In
case he does it will be we'll for other
politicians to keep their weather eye
peeled. He would undoubtedly go
to work with the same energy, intel
lgenee and determination that have
characterized his efforts along other
lines. AS he is man of quality suf-
ficient to fill with credit any position
within the gift of the people of the
State of Idaho, time alone can tell

A FRIEND INDEED.

Greater love hath no man than this,
that he marries his friends wife and
liberates him from jail.
About a week ago Charley Robin
son, a Bannock Indian was arrested
by the police for being drunk and
was fined SIS by Police Judge Moves
In default of payment Charley was
sentenced to serve ten days in the
city Jail. This morning George Stone
another Bannock Indian, well known
to the police, appeared before MS
honor with an offer to pay Charleys
fine. An effort to reduce the amount
failed, Judge Moves standing pat ior
$40 in coin of the realm. George ex-
planned that he had entered into an
agreement with Charley, by the terms
of which he (Stone) was to pay us
(Robinson's) fine and he (Stone) was
to marry his (Robinsons) wiie 10,
night. Having no actual Juui''a
knowledge of such an arrangement

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The Republican State platform en-
dorses everything from the Missouri
Compromise down to the establish
ment of the Annias club by Theodore
the First 1t has been some time
now since Henry Clays name was
mentioned in a Republican platform
This is not remarkable i'll view of the
fact that Henry Clay died in 1852,
while the Republ can party did not
really come into being until 1884,
when convention at Jackson, Mich
igan, on July sixth adopted the name.
Other states, Maine, Illinois, Massa-
chusettes, Iowa, Ohio Indiana and
Wisconsin held Republican conven-
tons the same year. But Clay's name
is quite appropriate in the Idaho plat
form. Henry Clay achieved fame with
his nnumerable compromises. He
was ever ready to compromise with
the devil if need be and it is said quite
often did So. The Republican plat
form of this year is a beautiful com
promise with everything in sight. If
there is stand pat Republican, an
insurgent, a Knownothing, a prohibi-
zionist or a liberal who is not salts
fled it is not the fault of the platform
makers. They tried to satisfy every
body and we trust succeeded. Such
efforts are flattering if not distinctive
of any great craftsmanship.
As literary gem, the platform is
great. The smiles, metaphors, and
even, the hyperboles, which lie with
out deceiying according to Macaulay,
are there in profusion. We imagine
that the author of the platfrom had
just taken copious draught of Hora-
ito at the Bridge before he undertook
the work. Perhaps though he had
just read dissertation on prunes by
Edgar Wilson. Edgar and Thomas
Darlington are both strong on high
faluting sounds of little meaning.
The platfrom starts out with an
endorsement of President Taft, which
is quite right. President Taft and
his administration are entitled to an
endorsement The President is con-
graduated upon his rform accomplish
ments which were started by his il
lutrlous predecessor, Theodore
Roosevelt If any great reform
started by Theodore Roosevelt has
been put into effect by William How
ard Taft we havn't heard of it. We
understood that the reason for the
GOODNESS between the President and
Theodore was that Theodore's pol
icles had been relegated to the rear
where they belong. We have not
heard OF Theodore endorsing Taft on
account of the fact that he had pro
ceeded to carry forward to fruition
the mighty work started" by him.
Perhaps Roosevelt, Pinchot and CLAY
is do not see Alright. If not the Ida
ho platform will prove a great boon
to these "illustr;ous" gentlemen. 1t
will open their eyes as nothing else
can. We imagine they will be tickled
to death to receive the enlightment.

what may be his future. For the
present, however, he will work sole.
ly and unsel6shly for the success of
the party at the next election. He
believes in doing we'll this days
work. Tomorrow will be attended
to when tomorrow comes.
