MisAPPLIED TEXT.

1t may seem strange coincidence,
but 1t rs true, that the papers which
oppose law enforcement against boot
Logging" and which denounce the
means employed by the officers to Sc
cure evidence for the conviction of
this lawless class-whether democrat
ic or republican-are loud and blatant
In their opposition to Governor Brady
The intelligent voter who believes In
the repression of crime and the pun
ishment of the defiers of the law,
requires no further enlargement upon
this subject to know his duty when
1t comes to the exercising of his vot-
ing privilege. If the law violators and
their sympathizers are against Brady,
who should be for him ?"-Grangeville
Globe.
The above Is from the Grangeville
Globe, and is another example Of the
misapplication of the law of cause
and effect. 1t is devoid of sense or
reason, and shows how utterly foolish
some editors can sometimes become
In their blind enthusiasm for a public
official. In the first place the Grange
vile Globe dare not defend the prop
osition that law enforcement In Idaho
Is dependent upon the governor of
the state. That Is not true. Now let
US be fair in this matter. Let us get

Latah county as an example. Let US
see just who Is responsible for the
enforcement of the law. Etc, etc
Moscow Star-Mirror.
When the Star Mirror says: Now
let us be fair in this matter" 1t has
sounded the keynote to the situation
and prescribed the unfailing remedy
for the principal part of its ailments.
which seem to be many and grievous.
when 1t comes to the mention of Gov.
Brady or Burton l.. French. Had the
Star Mirror stopped long enough to
have digested the above paragraph
taken from the Globe, and then been
fair with the matter" it would have
saved all the time, grey matter and
space wasted upon the straw man
which it constructed in its vivid Inn
agination and proceeded to annihil-
ate with It's vitriolic pen. This is the
second time the Star-Mirror has
charged the Globe with assuming a
false position regarding the relation
OF the governor to law enforcement,
and has undertaken to instruct this
paper in what it considers simon-pure
reason and common sense, by the lib
eral use of the term rot" and kim
dred questionable arguments.
The above paragraph does not state
that the governor is the executor of
the details of the law; that is read
into the article by the Mirror itself,
either through carelessness or inten-
tionally for the purpose of securing a
familiar text from which to compose
q sermonette and display its learning
and ability. 1t would seem that this
boyle man of the Mirror would begin
to get pretty badly tousled by this
time having been put up and knocked
out something like dozen times by
that paper within the past few weeks
and possibly in each instance with as
little justification as in the case of
the Globe.
1t might be well to ask the Mirror
If it really knows of paper in the
state that claims the governor will, O
is expected to, enforce the laws in
the various counties. If it does, will
it kindly introduce him upon the
scene and kill him off, and have 1t
