The Tribune's manner of re-
ferring to the Clark-Harmon pro-
cess Of playing the best man off
against Wilson in the various
states, is most delicate, even touch
ing. Note the exact language:
"It looks as if Clark and Har-
mon are of more sympathetic pol
tiles than that represented in Mr..
Wilson, and that each will help
the other rather than have the
nomination go, to Wilson" The
holding of that political sym
pathy'' by Clark and Harmon is
just what has been claimed by
Mr.. Wilson and his friends, in
Guiding Mr. Bryan, and the
charge has been emphatically de-
MED by Mr.. Clark.
Note the situation in Nebraska,
where it has been decided that
the candidate receiving the high
est number of votes shall get
the delegation. Mr.. Bryan has
importuned Mr.. Clark to with
draw and let Wilson and Harmon
fight it out, and he refuses to do
so, preferring rather to divide the
large progressive vote of that
state and give the delegation to
Harmon than have Wilson get it,
who really represents the senti-
ment in Nebraska, which is over
whelmingly progressive. Left
alone Wilson would defeat Har-
mon with ease but with the pro-
gressive vote divided between
two candidates of that persua-
sion Harmon is most certain to
win out, and thus the real senti-
ment and wishes of the progress
sive people would be defeated
Still Mr.. Clark poses as pro
gressive. How can things be thus
ly and not overcome us like a
summer cloud?

HIP-SAWING" GOVERNOR
WILSON.

How beautiful it is to see hreth-
rem dwell together in peace and
unity, even if it is only political
brethren. And that is doubly
noticeable and commendable in
those who have through long
course of years found few points
of agreement, although claiming
all the time to have one point
of common interest-the success
of the democratic party. This re-
mark is called forth by the mu-
tual agreement arrived at betwee1
William Jennings Bryan and the
Lewiston Daily Tribune on the
fact of there really being a "pres-
idential nomination trust as
charged, in the democratic party.
Mr.. Bryan has been contending
for many moons that the attitude
of the ''houn' dawg man" from
Missouri was entirely too friendly
and even intimate with the Har-
mon Underwood faction of his
party, and at last stated as much
through the Commoner, warning
Mr.. Clark to back up, if he wish
ed to retain the confidence and
support of the progressive wing
of his party. Later came the
charge of the Clark-Harmon NOM
nation corporation. The Tribune
of Tuesday in commenting on the
Illinois primary election, says:
"It is observed that Mr.. Har-
mons name does not appear on
the democratic ballot, and this
has occurred in other instances,
Wisconsin, for example. The rea-
son for this is only conjectural,
but it looks as if Harmon and
Clark are of more sympathetic
politics than that represented in
Gov. Wilson, and that each will
help the other rather than have
the nomination go to Wilson.
That being so, the two will un-
doubleday control the national
convention by the necessary two
thirds and thereafter it will be
simply matter of consultation up
on which of the two, or whether
still some other great democrat, is
more capable of carrying the
doubtful states and winning the
presidency"

THE RECALL IN IDAHO.

we are reading so much these
days about the recall of public
officers, the initiative and refer
endum, that it appears to me
proper time to call the attention
of the public to the fact that we
vote on both of these questions
at the next general election in
November, regarding the contem-
plated changes in our constitu-
ton In the matter of the recall
of officers, the language is:
Section l.. That Article 6 of
the Constitution of the State of
Idaho be amended by adding
thereto Section 6, which shall
read as follows:
Section 6. Every public Off
GER in the State Of Idaho, except
ing the judicial officers, is sub
Ject to recall by the legal voters
of the State or of the Electoral
district from which he is elected.
The Legislature shall pass the
necessary laws to carry this pro-
vision into effect.
Section 2. The question to be
submitted to the electors of the
State at the next general cleo
ton shall be in form as follows !:
Shall Article 6 of the Constitu-
ton of the State of Idaho be
amended by adding thereto Sec
ton 6 so as to reserve to the peo-
pie Of the State, or any Electoral
district therein, the right to re-
call any public officer except jul
dicial officers in the State or
said Electoral district"
Regarding the initiative, the
proposed change to be submitted,
is as follows:
"Shall Section / of Article 3
of the Constitution of the State
Of Idaho be so amended as to give
the people the power (under con-
ditions to be hereafter prescrib-
ed by acts of the Legislature) to
propose laws of their own initia-
tive and enact the same at the
polls independent of the Legisla-
tureY"
Please notice the recall of the
judiciary is left out so that ques-
ton regarding the State Courts,
is not to be argued as it is not
a question at present, but the
question is will a recall of public
officers be a benefit = = +
As every man must work out
the problem of his own salvation
himself SO in this case, the indi-
vidual voter must gather all the
information he can on both sides
of the question and then vote ac-
cording to the dictates of his own
conscience.

FORESTS JEOPARDIZED BY
CONGRESS.

Spokesman-Review: The ma
tional forests cover 168,00O,000
acres, contain 500,000,000, 900 feet
of board timber and are apprais.
ed as worth $2,O00,000,00O. In
1910 fires ravaged over 100000
acres of these forests, deprived
104 people of life and destroyed
or damaged nearly $15, 100000 of
timber and $1O,O0O,0OO of young
growth and 800, 900 worth of for
age on the public pastures.
Has the democratic majority in
the national legislature forgotten
these immense and APPALLING facts 7
1t would seem so, if one may
judge from its treatment of the
agricultural appropriation bill.
The present appropriation for
roads, telephones and trails in
the national forests is 100000.
Fire is an ever existing terror to
the forests and to the interests
dependent on them. Reasonable
protection against the possibility
Of fire requires six times as much
mileage Of telephone and ten of
trails as now exist. The forest
service, therefore, requested $500,
600 again for roads, telephones
and trails and $1,000, 900 as an
emergency fund to be employed
only on dire necessity.
The democratic representatives
cut the 100000 appropriation
to .$275 900 and the 81 600, 900 ap-
preparation to 100000.
They conserved economy in the
management of the governmnt 8
business and the peoples estate
by dropping insurance against
fire, Ignorance, parsimony and
prejudice conspired to try to rob
the nation 3 forest of its defense
and to cripple the forest service
as a firefighter.
The expense of fighting the
fires in 1910 cost the country more
than 100000. The democrats
in the lower house of congress cut
the appropriation for the forests
by 81, OPS, 900. The timber and
grazing estates of the nation
bring almost 100000 annually
into the public purse, yet the
democrats representatives refus-
ed to spend this amount to save
the public forests.
The measure has yet to pass
the scrutiny of the senatorial COM
mittee on agriculture and of the
senate itself. On these depends
the chance of preventing this con-
gressional crime against the life
of the public forests and the well
fare of the American people.

GOOD WORKING TEAM.

kamiah Progress: After one
of the hardest fights the west
has ever put up against the east,
the Borah homestead bill has pass
ed both senate and house. In the
house the bill was changed some
what from the original and the
six months leave of absence each
year was brought down to five
months. Fhe change will make
1T necessary for the bill now to
go to committee on conference.
But its passage the same in all
necessary provisions by both SEN
ate and house indicates that the
two branches will have no trouble
in getting together on the COM
promise bill and that the reduc-
ton to three years residence on
homesteads from five years will
remain intact.
Senator Borah and Congress
man French deserve high praise
for their long and persistent work
upon this valuable piece of legis-
lation. They had the hostile at
titude of Secretary Fisher to over
come, as well as the prejudice in
the east against any and all leg
Islatlon looking to an easier home
steading of western lands. The
wrongs that were permitted I'M
der the old timber and stone act
and the lieu land act have made
eastern members look askance at
all measures which have to do
with the taking up of western
lands and it had to be campaigl
of education and hard work to
get them to accede to the just

Ben F. Tweedy, the Lewiston
ex-mayor and candidate for gov
ernor, is out with pamphlet
containing his platform and de-
claration of principles as a citi-
zen and candidate. That Ben
Tweedy is an honest man and that
he is sincere in his declarations
and would carry them out insofar
as it might lie in his power so to
do, if he were elected governor,
even his enemies admit. His plat
form reads well and has a ring
of sincerity in it that will draw
at least some votes to him.
Tweedy's enemies, and he has
host of them at Lewiston, claim
that he is fanatical and that he
lacks the following and the mag
netism to gather strength suffi-
cient to become a formidable can
didate in the race for governor.
Of course that remains to be seen.
One thing is certain, the people
are looking for honest men these
days to administer their affairs,
and they are not so plentiful that
they can be profitably turned
down on account of some minor
technicalities or little personal
peculiarities. When a mans en-
emies admit his honesty these
days of skepticism, it is certainly
a good endorsement to start with.

these days. He is now taking his
principle editorials from the

is the authorized "mouthpiece of

Whether that claim is true or not,
it certainly presents a peculiar

political complexion. and an avow

PLANS Of MACON
DEPOTSORDERED
Commission Orders Railroads
to Answer Complaints and
Submit BIueprints.

The Georgia railroad commission has
ordered the Central of Georgia and the
Southern to make answer to the com
plant Of Colonel Robert l.. Berner. Of
Macon, in the matter of Macon's pres
ent inadequate and insanitary pas
senger depot facilities.
The commission not only requires the
roads to answer Colonel Berner's COM
plants but 1t further requires that
the answer be accompanied by blue
prints and general plans and specifica"
tons for the erection of new and more
cOmmodious facilities at once.
The question of Macon's depots has
been before the commission. on petition
Of Colonel Berner, representing cit
zens of Macon generally, for some time.
Recently the commission visited Macon
in a body and looked over the present
depots, and the order requiring answer
to the complainant is the direct result
of that visit.
Macon desires the Southern and the
Central to join in erecting a handsome
and ample union station. and it is like
present hearing. However the railroad
commission has no authority to order a
union station-it merely can order new
stations. to be erected by the roads in
dividually. If the roads ask the COM
mission for authority TO join In a union
station, the commission unquestionably
will grant 1t.
Many interested citizens of Macon
and railroad officials have visited the
offices of the railroad commission in the
capitol of late, seeking to bring about
an understanding Between the roads
and the citizens of such a nature that
it will insure a new depot
The present depot facilities of Macon
are VIGOROUSLY unsatisfactory and di-
