ECHOES OF THE CAMPAIGN

The election of Jas. H. Hawley for
governor of Idaho was accompanied
by so many queer problems that
many theories were put forward by
which to account for it, the most
unique one being the story of an
freshman at Couer d'Alene who said,
We'll, you see it was this way. Haw.
ley and Brady were both pretty
we'll known. and all of thin as was
acquainted with Brady voted for
Hawley, and all Of thin as was &C.
quainted with Hawley voted for Bra
ry, and Brady was the best &C.
quanited."
Hawley has been in office nearly
q year now, and he has been receiv-
ing more publicity than anybody else.
Just now at tax-paying time he is i'm
pressing himself upon more people
than any other man in the state, and
II the campaign were on again it is
a question whether Hawley wouldn t

A PECULIAR SITUATION.

|, A peculiar business situation de-
veloped in Twin Falls last week as
a result of the efforts of a young
man who came to town, solicited
and secured quantity of advertis-
ing from local business men and, all
according to contract, approached a
local newspaper with view to pur-
chasing in it's column the necessary
space to accommodate the advertise
ments he had secured from the bus
mess men at prices two and three
times as high as the paper itself
would have charged them.
The stranger presented his propo-
sition, the business men fell for it.
The stranger would have pocketed
the difference between the price he
had obtained from the business men
and the amount he paid the paper
for the space he needed and every
thing babe fair to 60 as merrily as
the proverbial marriage bell.
But it did not. The Manufacturers
and Merchants association would not
let it. This is an association sup
ported by the business men to CEN
sor all untried advertising schemes.
AS result of this censorship, the
plans of the young solicitor went all
aglee, and the entire deal fell
through, but just think what might
have happened If the business men
had been utterly without protection.
They. did not see that they were
agreeing to pay three prices for
ldentically the same advertising they
could have obtained collectively or
Individually at space rates from the
newspapers themselves. Somebody
had to tell them.

BEATTIE CONFESSEs.

Richmond, Nov. 4.-Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., before his death in the
electric chair, made a written confess
sion of his guilt Of the murder of his
wife, in presence of two spiritual ad-
visers, which on permission of the
family, was made public. 1t says:
DESTROYS of standing right before
God and man, I confess my guilt of
the crime charged against me. Much
that has been published concerning
the details was not true, but the aw-
full fact remains. For this action
am truly sorry and this statement is
made in belief that I am at peace
with God and about to pass into His
presence.

ADVERTISING LIQUORS

A year ago at holiday time We in
serted liquor advertisement in ~.
Republican, and several persons in
quired whether we had changed our
attitude on the temperance question.
wesgepeat at this time what We said
then, stAat the government through
the postaEdepartment carries liquor
advertisements to peoples homes by
letter, and II the. newspapers refuse
them space the liquor dealers sim
ply pay our Uncle Samuel twenty dol
lars per thousand to deliver their
printed matter in letters into the
mail boxes Of the public, and that
money goes on to Washington. D. c..
andEwe never see it again.
y The newspaper men or the Press
Club learned this lesson by expert
ence and decided that while this
question stands as it does they might
as we'll perform the service as to let
the government do it. 1t is just an
other case parallel to the government
issuing a license to sell liquors in
dry" Tor any other) territory, ana
permitting liquor to be shipped from
wet" territory to that which legally
forbids it but has to yield to the man
dates of Uncle Sam.
There is certain bill In a con-
gressional pigeon hole down in Wash
ington, D. c., which Uncle Joe Can
non has been keeping asleep for
many many moons, that was de-
signed to remedy these particular
matters, and as water seeks it's level,
business adapts itself to conditions.

HIGH POINTS DETERMINED !
IDAHO.

The United States Geological Sur.
vey is publishing series of bulletins
on attitudes which when complete
for the United States will constitute
a dictionary of attitudes for all the
pricipal cities, towns, mountains. and
other prominent points. The eleva
tons as determined by the survey are
figured to the thousandth of foot
and Of course are of great use to 10.
cal surveyors or engineers through.
out the country.
In connection with its topography
mapping the survey establishes sew.
eral thousand permanent bronze OF
aluminium bench marks every year
and the bulletins of this sehies give
the exact attitudes of these points
A recent issue Is Bulletin 487, "Re-
suits of Spirit Leveling in Idaho,''
under the direction Of r. B. Marshal,
chief geographer. The lowest alti-
tude noted in this bulletin is at Bon
ners Ferry, which is given as 1866.
663 feet above sea level. The high
est point in Idaho thus far marked
by the survey is at the crest Of the
Sawtooth mountains, on the bounda-
ry line between Blaine and Custer
counties. The description given in
the bulletin of the surveys bench
mark at this point is an example of
the method of description of other
points. 1t is as follows:
Wood river and Salmon river
divide betN cen, SO feet north
west of road; iron post stamped

BIACKFOOT MERCHANTS
REJECTED 1T,

The following article taken from a
Twin Falls paper brings to mind the
efforts of the same men who can
vassed Blackfoot and were turned
down. So many of our business men
listened to the travelling solicitor
proposition and then said, mo, we
have printers at home who can sup
ply our needs in this line" that they
passed on without taking anything
with them.

KEEP JOURNALISM CLEAN

Commenting on the indictment OF
certain newspapers because of the
Objectionable matter contained In
them regarding the recent Beattie
murder trial In Virginia, Colonel
Henry Waterson says in the. Louis
vile Courier oqrnM: Such action
indicates an earnest desire upon the
part of the authorities to give the
public the same protection from OBJ
jectionable printed matter that the
individual Is given under the federal
laws prohibiting obscene matter from
being sent through the mails in let
ters."
Nowadays the French novel; In
all languages is pretty freely circu-
lated. 1t meets a demand of persons
who are looking for that kind of
literature. Persons WHO haven't an
appetite for 1t are not offended by
having the salacious novel put upon
them. Children do not, as a rule,
come in contact with it.
But newspapers, rating as a house.
hold necessity, are put in every ones
way. The newspaper should upon
this account and for other reasons
too numerous to mention, be the
neater, sweeter maiden. The field of
journalism should be the cleaner,
greener land.
There is muck enough in the yell
low backs to satisfy the most vora-
cious appetite. Newspapers should
have more important and respectable
business In hand than that of purvey-
ing to the prurient and communicating
adolescence.
The Courier-Journal does not know
Or undertake to say that its Rich
mOnd contemporaries did in fact 60
further than the French novel; and
reach the level of actual obscenity,
but II they did they should be read a
lesson.
And no matter whether they did
or not, numerous newspapers exploit
ed Beulah Binford in manner that
reflected no credit upon journalism
and put their publishers upon plane
with the procuress who figured in the
case as the Binford's girl hostess and
friend.
There is no news that cannot be
reported without offense. The editor
who is conscientious and competent
can blue pencil all Objectionable mat
ter In the vilest case that comes into
court and leave the essential news
uncut. This is done in many local |
rooms. 1t ought to be the rule in all !
of them.
The law should see to 1t that 1t is.
Buyers of newspapers and persons
who come into contact with newspa-
pers, are entitled to such protection.
There is no interference with the
freedom Of the press when newspa-
pers are forbidden to send obscene
matter through the mails.
