it that the action of the department

it is the duty of all our citizens in

Rebels are Victorious.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 15.-The rebels
made another attack on Hankow today
and seemingly are winning. The city
is being bombarded, with great loss to
the Imperialists. For more than "a
hours intermittent cannonading has
been in progress between the forces,
and by that means the rebels develop
ed the position and strength of the I'm
perial forces. Clashes have already
occurred upon the outskirts of the
town of Hankow and the latest dis
patches state that the rebels have ad-
vanced to the very outskirts of the
city with their army.

'The injustice of this act of Presi
dent Taft, inspired without doubt, by
the special prosecutors, will ranlle
in the minds of our citizens and will
inspire them with wholesale con-
tempt for such disgraceful methods
"It is probably unfair to blame
President Taft for this unspeakable
action, for he undoubtedly did it at the
request of Attorney General Wicker
sham who evidently had been in col
lusion with his assistants in charge in
the prosecution.
THE main blame, however, in my
judgment, attaches to President Taft
on account of his inexplicable failure
to make full official investigation of
the matter through the United States
judge and the regular United States
attorney.
Some good may result from this
miserable affair. The people Of the
whole state will become thoroughly
aroused by this failure of justice
Their wrath will be directed against
these special agents and these spec
ial prosecutors, who for four long and
weary years have been responsible for
the lamentable conditions surrounding
the government cases in the United
States courts.
And it is to be hoped that the
protest of the people of Idaho will be
so loud that the authorities IN Wash
ington cannot disregard them, but |
will as a consequence rid this state |
forever of the offensive presence of |
these special agents and special pros
ecutors, who have been responsible

pie, simply desirous of establishing a
reputation in the department Of JUS
done more to injure Idaho and re-
ta1d it's development since the fall of
1907, than all other causes COM
bined
''The malicious, uncalled for and in
defensible prosecution of Senator
Borah and former Attorney General
Frank Martin and others in the fall of
1907 was the first experience Idaho
had with these special prosecutors.
This was followed by indictments
against the leading officers of the
Barber Lumber company, accompani-
ed by a flood of civil suits in large
amounts against that company also.
1.-THE Lewiston bank case, however,
is the most fragrant and most out
rangeous example OF rank injustice.
Robnett, the trusted employe of the
Kettenbachs in the management of
their bank stole, as | understand it, |
of the banks funds nearly $140000 |
and still, in their desire to convict |
certain men, these special prosecutors
have deliberately used the evidence of

the men charged and against whom he
testified were only technically guilty
Of infractions of the law.
"Robnett did his work we'll, how
ever, under his agreement and today
receives the reward of a full pardon

sentence passed on him yesterday.

 Election Date
 On Tom Ripper

Meriden, Aug 25-Senator w. F. Parker has sent word to Benjamin Krentzman, leader in the effort to have the town election on October. ?, postponed because it occurs on Tom Kippur, Day of Atonement of the Jewish people, that much to his regret nothing could be done toward chang ing the date of the election, as it is too late.
 Senator Parker stated that when he had received former Councilman Krentzman's petition he had confer rec with Senate Leader Stiles Judson and was informed that owing to the pressure of old business in the Senate and the attempt to secure a quick ad- journment of the Legislature, abso- lutely no new business could be con- sidered at this time. Senator Parker regrets exceedingly that action can- not b etaken.
 According to MT Krentzman about 100 voters of the Hebrew faith are af- fected, as their religion holds that they must remain in the temple from sunrise to sunset on this day and do no manual labor whatever.

Needham, who, when Col. Roosevelt was President, ranked as one of the official press agents of the administrations. New York poli- ticians are wondering, today, if there is political significance to this fact
 Colonel Roosevelt, since the defeat Of his candidate for Governor at the last election, Henry l.. Stimson, now a member of President Taft's official family, has refused to take any part in Republican politics in this State The man whom he most bitterly de- nounced at Saratoga, William Barnes Jr., is now chairman of the Republi- can State Commission and he and his friends have made it plain that, if Roosevelt wants to go to the next national convention of the party that elected him President, he will have personally to ask them for that priv ilege.
 Friends of Wilson are very much encouraged that he has broken into" the magazine through which Colonel Roosevelt now reflects his opinions to the public.
