A POLITICAL AND PARTISAN DECIsION.

The carefully the decision Of the supreme court
OF this state wherein it prevented the printing of the
Roosevelt electors upon the ballots for the November
election is studied and the it is compared with de-
OF other state courts and with the decisions Of the
supreme court OF the United States the more convincing
becomes the belief that the decision was purely and SOLELY
political and partisan made only for the purpose of
preventing the supporters of Roosevelt from voting thei
choice and to drive them to vote for Taft or Wilson, both
satisfactory the corporate and special interests of the
state.
1T is clear however, that when elected they (presi-
Dental eectors) not state officers says the Idaho
supreme court which, thereupon finds excuse for rul
ing them off the ballot
"Although the (presidentaD electors are appointed
and act under and pursuant to the constitution of the
United States, they officers agents of the

PRESS COMMENT
A Legal Skeleton.
(Richfield Recorder)

l
| In the Recorders opinion, 1t is alb
solutely wrong to attribute a sinister
motive to the supreme court for it's de-
cision in the presidential elector case.
There is no personal element, no mo-
tive other than to follow the law word
by word, letter by letter. Idaho has a
court above petty partisan or personal
decisions; for which the state should
be. and Is. grateful.
| Nevertheless. this is a powerful slim
illus to the theory of the recall of ju-
dicial decisions. 1t is an honest opin-
ion--but based on as erroneous a con-
ception OF the theory OF law as the
Salem witchcraft persecution was a
misconception of the laws of God.
Honest. indeed-but without the saving
grace of sympathy. 1t is too much like
the Oriental tailor. who. being given
patched coat as a pattern for new
one, duplicated it stitch for stitch,
patches and all. OF such fiber is made
the court precedents that few Ameri-
can courts have ever been able to
break or forget. A reverence for the
mere form Of the law rather than an
independent Interpretation of its spirit,
Is the curse of courts. 1t is necessary
obsession, perhaps. as heritage of con-
lventionality that is almost as inescap-
able as the laws of caste to which the
Brahmin is born. The Bible says in
speaking of the excessively ritualistic
religion OF the scribes and pharsees--
many of them as honest men as ever
Ilived--"The letter willeth; but the
spirit giveth life" 1t would be bet
ter constitutional precedent to follow,
for courts to serve the people as If
each case were the first of it's kind
and not to be decided by a lot of dusty
precedents which have been read into
the courts from time immemorial
presidents for form that too often SUI
persede the spirit Of the law. What
we now have Is too nearly the same
sort of reverence and fidelity as that
which so long kept the telegraph out
of China, lest the Shadow of its wires
fall upon the graves of some wor-
shipped, dead fora thousand years
ancestors. That is what obedience to
the slavish letter of the law, and to
precedent, leads to.
If there were a suspicion of an I'M
proper motive in this decision-which
there Is not; If there were weakness,
or hesitancy, or apology. or exultation
which there is not-the Recorder
would feel obliged to comment vigor-
ously, instead of this mild discussion,
and to brave sentence for contempt
of court in defense of popular rather
than judicial sovereignty. But the
court believed the decision to be right;
the court is learned in the law; there

THE SQUARE DEAL In TAXATION.

1t is not important to know whether the railroads
OF the state have been raised in proportion to other prop
ery or in greater proportion it is to know whether
not they taxed at their full valuation We have
heard good deal of late about tax dodgers who

creased over former Valuations and have been told
that the Of their complaint not because of

portion that belongs to the railroads.
1t must be admitted that Mr.. Martin Progressive
nominee for governor has made point which it will be
difficult Tor the members of the state board of equalza

the railroads. under exactly practically exactly

TAFT SENTIMENT GROWING.

The stories in circulation throughout the standpat
press OF the wonderful increase in the Taft sentiment
minds us of story recently.
1t seems that an ardent opponent of total abstinence
made the argument favorng moderate of intoxi-
eating liquor that statistics showed that SO per cent of the
total abstaners in the British army died the first year in
India This marvellous statement of mortality in total
abstaners aroused the curiosity of Investigator and
ne made inquiries Sure enough the tremendous death
loss had been sustained and he forced to admit that
had been exactly 50 per cent for the year stated But
the facts that there had been only two total abstain
sent out and of these had taken walk little too
far from camp alone and without firearms and had been
eaten up by lion!
In other words, the Taft sentiment was so tarnaly
weak before that any change at all bound to be for
the apparent better only should find his voice
to speak in his praises.
Pretty soon the opposition will give up it's efforts to
down the Progressves First they stole the nomination
away from them at Chicago then they counted out their
candidate in the primaries next they ordered their dis
reimbursement and finally they tried to kill their candi-
date for PRESIDENT Any organization that withstand
such assaults these and be stronger at the wind up
they were at the beginning is to be successful and
the other fellows may well abandon all preense
tinuing the fight.

Chicago.-"General condition excel
lent" was the word from tho surgeons
attending Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
at Mercy hospital, where he is fight
ing his battle against an assassins
wound.
Mrs. Roosevelt was on vigil at the
bedside of her hupsband. She declared
che would stay with the colonel until
he went to sleep for the night She
was assigned a room adjoining the
suite occupied by him.
Tests made at Marquette university
in Milwaukee determined positively
that the bullet with Which Roosevelt
was wounded had not been poisoned
as was feared. An infusion from
scrapings taken from the remaining
bullets in the assassin's revolver was
administered to a poison squad OF
guinea pigs without evil results.
The dangers now presented in the
view OF the surgeons, as being in
range of possibility are pleurisy, pneu-
monia, tetanus and blood poisoning.
All of these are said to be remote in
light OF the condition of the patient.

AFRO-AMER|CAN CU[L|NCS

The annual Hampton conference, OF
which reports have just arrived, tells
part of the story of how the colored
man in the south is working out his
salvation as free citizen At Hamp-
ton for the past 16 years there has
been a midsummer gathering of the
leaders of the colored race-the men
and women from all the southern
states who are doing practical work
in agriculture, education, sanitation,
rural welfare and better forms of rec
reation on behalf of race that was
released from the bonds of slavery
less than half century ago. The re-
ports of the 1912 conference are par
ticularly significant and encouraging.
For example, in the agricultural Sec
ton 1t was brought out that of the
$4,000 colored farmers of the south,
21S.000 own land and buildings valued
at almost billion dollars In Virginia
32,22O negroes own and operate their
own farms, gain of % per cent. in
ten years, and 1906 others are work
ing farms as tenants. In Georgia the
colored farmers increased from $4,000
to 1900 in ten years; in Arkansas
from $4,000 to $500, and in Mississip,
pi there was an increase of 1885, 900.
The educational progress is especially
gratifying. The percentage of negro
illiterates in the whole country
dropped from 44.5 in 1900 to 30.4 in
1910; for the negroes of the south it
dropped from 4S in 1900 to 1873 in 1910.
In 1900 there were three states, Louisi-
ana, Alabama and Georgia, where
over 80 per cent of the negroes could
not read or write. in 1910 Louisiana
with 1872 per cent of negro illiterates
makes the poorest showing. AS they
prosper In material things the ne
groes are supporting more and more
generously their various schools. For
example, Americus Institute in Geor-
gia, maintained by 20 colored Baptist
churches, began life in 1897 with an
income of $154 from these churches.
and last year it received $4,000 from
the same sources.

and persons other than those who are
attending him. declared that "quietude
IS absolutely essential"
The physicians asserted that it
would not now be necessary to probe
for or remove the bullet. Even this
action was thought undesirable, and
the patient probably will be kept as
calm as his nature will allow for
few days.
Colonel Roosevelt rested easily
Tuesday night and his physicians said
after a day of nervous strain-that
they were pleased with his condition.
The clinical record showed that his
condition was hardly as favorable as
when he entered the hospital. His
pulse at 10 o'clock was sc, or IA
counts above normal, and two counts
above the record two hours after he
was shot.
His temperature was 99.2, or three
fifths of a degree above normal. 1t
was believed the night would indicate
whether the wound would heal nor
mally.
DR.. j. B. Murphy, who is in charge
of the case, left the hospital before
10 o'clock for the night.
Colonel Roosevelt is resting quiet
ly," he said. He had a small din
ner. There was less distress in his
breathing. His general condition is
exceptionally good and he should have
