SEC'Y FISHERS EMERGENCE
FROM PING HOTISM.

OF the many comments we have seen
on the recent visit of Secretary Fisher,
none come near hitting the nail on the
head' than the following from the Lewis
ton Tribune In Mr.. Fisher we seem to
have found practical man for Secretary
Of the Interior, instead of visionary
theorist.
Secretary Fisher has made a
highly favorable impression on
the people OF Boise City. At a
public meeting held there he said
that he means to do all in his
power to correct all of the in
CAPABILITIES and injustices and
wrongs suffered by the people OF
the west as the result of bad
things in the law or mistakes in
administration. He said the set
tier should get early title to his
land, whether on a homestead or
on a reclamation project. He
said the government should
make good when a settler suffers
on account of overflow or seep-
age water, and that protection
should be provided in the con-
tracts. He said he is going to
try to have the law changed so
these injustices will not continue
any longer. His slogan is: 81
am for the man on the land. ;"
He thinks that Withdrawals
should be checked over and the
land should be restored to entry,
wherever found proper, as fast
as possible. he stands for con-
structive development.
Showing the map of Idaho, or
what little is left of it after Roos-
evelt and Pinchot had duly con-
served its area, he said: "Itwas
an Illuminating picture, to be

One OF the prominent republi-
cans talked of for Governor is
S. D. Taylor, State Auditor. He
is noted for his reputation as a
fiip-fopper. Our readers will re-
member that he was the party
who appeared before the COM
mittee at the last session of the
legislature and advocated acash
assessment bill that was 100
times more radical than Govern
or Hawley's action and then
Topped over and opposed the
stand taken by Gov. Hawley.

Idaho, as far as the federal pow
er extended, and this was over
most of the state, and whether
the empty ensignia of mourning
is hung out or not is immaterial.
The fact Of mourning is thereiust
the same. Meantime Pinchot is
able to taryel to Alaska on a
fine steamship, to debark at a
safe and convenient wharf, to
take trains to the far interior at
several points, and to find COM
Portable quarters wherever he
visits. But there is no steam
shiq, no wharf, no Hallway, no
inn, no industry in all the length
and breadth of the land that
has been Pinchotized and Roose-
veltered. Their hands have with
cred and blasted and desolated

PARTY FIRST.

From the reports OF the action
taken by the republican leaders
and their "Me too" satellites.
the republican editors of Idaho,
short time ago one would come
to the conclusion that they have
decided to support any candi-
date, no matter how corrupt or
poorly qualified for the position,
who will come before the primary
for nomination to office.
This is a very dangerous polit-
ical precedent to establish and is
entirely foreign to the principles
of a free government. But it
seems to be the policy of the re-
publican party throughout the
country and is one of the main
reasons that the republican par
ty is SO rapidly loosing ground
in all parts of the United States.
Any party thatopposes reform
and believes that the masses Of
the people do not know what is
best for them, but need to have
a set of bosses to do this polit-
ical thinking, is not going to be
upheld by the votes Of free Ameri-
can citizens.

Why does Hepburn advocate

were happening, and when the
public made up it's mind that
unregulated private exploitation
is wrong, absolutely wrong, the
pendulum did swing too far the
other way. | think maybe
things were frightened little too
much"
Commenting on Mr.. Fisher the
Boise Statesman, which at the
time Of inception gave its entire
support and sympathy to the
Roosevelt Pinchot program,
says: "Those who remember
his attachment and admiration
for Clifford Pinchot, and had
counted him among the ultra
radical school of visionary the
Orists and merciless idealists
that gathered at the feet of the
former forester of the United
States, were openly amazed at
Mr.. Fishers views, and where he
might have come into the en-
emy's camp as a Pinchotite, he
left it last night full OF friends
and earnest supp orters.
1t is entirely reasonable to
suppose, aside from the state
ments and the facts in the case,
that Secretary Fisher is develop
ing practical and sound views,
for the simple reason that he is
that sort of man, having been
a worker and an Garner all his
life. He had to make his own
way, and has grappled with the
hard and the big problems hand
to-hand, in a fashion that has
caused him to know some of the
difficulties, universities and fail
ures that must be COPIED with as
Incidents of the days work. On
the other hand, it is unreason-
able to suppose that Roosevelt
and Pinchot will ever develop
practical and sound views, for
the simple reason that they live
off ready-made fortunes and
only have the most remote and
vague ideas of what pro ductive
labor is. They understand, in a
general sort of way, that there is
poverty, need, self-denial, weari-
some toll, misfortune, calamity
and oppression throughout the
land, just as the rest of us be-
lieve in purgatory, the inferno,
and all that. In each instance
the terms are thought to be
symbolic and relative-labor and
necessity meaning about the
same to Roosevelt and Pinchot |
as hell and birthstone mean to
the rest of us. The land, the
natural resources and natures
forces and mans relation to
them are about as indefinite and |
hazy to the Roosevelt-Pinchot |
conception as the life beyond the
grave is to the working man
who has a family to support, to
clothe, to educate and to lay
by something for the future be-
sides. Mr.. Pinchot is now in
Alaska, where he is hailed as it's
chief desolator. 1t is said-but
this is repeated with reserve

BAD FIRE DAMAGES
BANK At BARLOW

Barlow, N. D., Jan. Awhile all
the employees were at dinner, fire broke
out III the Farmers State bank and
badly damaged the interior of the room.
The banks valuable records had been
placed in the vault during the noon hour
and escaped damage.
The origin of the fire is blamed on a
large Rochester lamp which had been
used on the floor where the teller stands
to give warmth to the room. 1t was
left lighted at noon and either exploded
or the heat set the fixtures on fire.
The heaviest loss will be on the add
ing machine. A new counter will also
be needed, likewise new ceiling A
large amount of supplies piled under
the banking counter were badly burned
and rendered valueless. Some pieces Of
commercial paper were also charred
The fire was discovered promptly and
quickly extinguished before the build
ing had taken fire. The loss will be
several hundred dollars, fully insured

As far as Canada and the United
States are concerned, Sir Alan Ayles-
worth, minister of justice, and L. P.
Brodeur, minister of marine and fish
cries, the Canadian representatives in
the conference, will return to Ottawa
on Monday and submit the agreement
reached today to Lord Grey, governor
general, when it will be made public,
and upon ratification by him the agree
ment will become effective.
Details of the agreement were not
divulged, but they include the modi6-
cation of certain fishing regulations as
we'll as the continuance of others hith-
erto in effect. A conspicuous revelation
to the representatives of both countries
was the ease with which the fisheries
regulations could be misconstrued. Many
misunderstanding were Strengthened
out and the belief was general today
with respect to the Canadian fisheries
question that American, as we'll as
Canadian fishermen would find mutual
benefit from the improved regulations.

LOCK.SIEP ABOLlSHDE
IN Washington Pen
Especial to The Tribune.)

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 14-Declar-
ing it utterly useless and worthless,
thing without good, c. S. Reed,
warden of the state penitentiary at
Walla Walla, WASH, formally con-
signed the prison lockstep to the
oblivion from which 1t came. Since
the beginning the lockstep has been
the custom at the penitentiary. When
the prisoners came in to their meals
or marched out to them they did so
in lockstep. The lockstep, stripes
and other relics of a more barbarous
age are a thing of the past at Walla
Walla. "The lockstep and the striped
SUITS" continued Warden Reed, have
come down to us from the past.
Why or how they originated is now
of little interest. 1t suffices that
whatever may have been the reasons
which actuated their originators, they
do not hold good today. The lock-
step serves no purpose. It accom-.
plishes no good. It is a senseless
custom which has outlived it's time.
The striped suit has not been seen
here for some time. The prisoners
wear plain gray clothes, with no dis
tinguishing mark but the prison mum.

Violence When Mrs. Mel.
Der Reaches City
10y Associated Press.)

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 14.--Several thou
sand persons crowded the union station
and the streets outside today to catch
a glimpse of Mrs. Edith Melber, the
young Schenectady widow brought here
from Rochester to answer to the charge
of numbering her fve-year-old son
George. Stories of the woman's confess
sion to the Rochester police of how she
killed the boy by pouring carbolic acid
down his throat when he asked for a
drink of water and hid his body in the
swamp land near Schenectady turnpike,
had collected a mob, and the police
feared to take the woman through it.
They had the express stopped three
miles from the center of the city and
Mrs. Melber was taken to police head
quarters in an automobile. The crowd
there was comparatively small There
were shouts and boots as the police hur
ried her indoors, but nothing like an
organized movement.
The woman tainted inside the door
and it was some time before she was
able to be arraigned before the coroner.
District Attorney Sanford was pres
ent, but asked the woman no questions.
Without being asked, Mrs. Melber iden-
tilted the drug clerk who sold her the
carbolic acid at local pharmacy last
week. Mrs. Melber made no attempt
to deny any of the admissions ascribed
to her by the police of Rochester.
Detective Reed, who brought her from
Rochester, said that on the train she
told him she was CORY she killed the
boy and was anxious to see him before
he was buried.

The late Senator John Warwick
Daniel Of Virginia may be said to
have been the last of the old fash
toned orators in the house of the con-
script fathers. His fame will rest not
on his lawbooks, which were excel
lent; not on his speeches in house and
senate, which were strong, but on two
mastery orations on Lee and Stone
wall Jackson delivered before his en-
trance into congress. It may well be
doubted whether anything superior to
them, considered simply as orations,
can be found in the literature of the
world. They would have delighted
