IT'S PROMISE

1T is the province of the minority,
says a well known Moscow citizen
who is keen political observer, ste
raise Hades.'
AS a matter of fact such is the
| province, and the particular field Of
the minority in delegated popular
government such as ours. Unable tC
carry out their own program they
| can only achieve a measure of success
| in compromise, and act as a governor
upon the political engine. Their meas
| ures may not be enacted into plat
forms or laws, but none the less color
the final result in the majority
work, tincturing it until it becomes a
more nearly perfect expression of the
will of the common people.
No better example of this is needed
than the ultimate result of the plat
form fight in Chicago. The platform
adopted by the convention was not
the radical, or La Toilette platform
it was probably not the platform
which would have been adopted had
Roosevelt been in control of the con
vention, but it was fair, progress
sive statement of republican principles,
combining itself to pure republicanism,
and promising to the people of this
country continuation of the wise, and
constructive policy which has brought
M. Nv To hi. f,<, loo
16 years.
The republican platform states the
party's opposition to special privileges
and monopoly, favors a protective
tariff, is against the recall of judges
but favors some means by which
judges who are derelict in their duty
may be removed more simply, believes
in international peace, promises work
mems compensation laws, and ex-
presses determination to uphold the
dignity, authority and integrity of the
courts.
The Roosevelt supporters decided to
present no minority report on the
platform. 1t was announced that the
had made a number OF con-
,essions to progressives.
These, as the Star Mirror under |
stands it, are the cardinal principles |
If the republican party. Can any re-
publican do otherwise than endorse |
hem? They are the policies which in |
he past have built up the country
coupled with progressive, constructive
egislation to correct abuses which
lave arisen.

WHAT MORRISON DID.

There is more than mere sentimen
back of the Star-Mirror is opposition
to John r. Morrison, candidate fol
governor on the republican ticket
Personally this paper has nothing to
say against Mr.. Morrison. But When
he comes forward as a candidate for
governor, it becomes the plain duty
of an honest newspaper to oppose him
ifthere is enough against him which
shows plainly the unfitness of the man
for the place he would fill.
The Star Mirror has already sig
nified sufficient ground for opposition
to Mr.. Morrison. If there were no
other proof of his unfitness this paper
could not support him. But there is
more damaging proof than any yet
given of the unfitness of John T. Nor
rison to again serve the state of Ida
no as its chief executive.
There is proof that during the last
administration of Mr.. Morrison the
laws of the state were prostituted;
that Hoffman, a practicing attorney,
now state chairman of the republican
party, enjoyed special privileges, and
exercised an influence over the state
land department that amounted to
monumental graft; that became so rot
ten that in 1903 the register of the
United States land office at Occur
dAlene protested to Governor Nor
rison, charging that the law was be-
ing ignored, that cases were being dis
missed or fixed as the interests of
Hoffman, an attorney, required.
1t was then recognized fact by the
Occur d'Alene land office officials
that Hoffman who being favored; that |
this man was manipulating the laws |
to suit his private interests; that the |
Morrison administration was permit |
ting the public lands of the state to be |
robbed of their rich forests, ard the |
stump lands turned back to the state |
without the Formally of a trial; that |
HeitmanS services were made valua-
Bile because of the pull he had while |
NCliioOu NdS SOfSi uOl. inc otdl
Mirror says that there is proof that |
this condition was recognized by the
register of the United States land of
flee, and that an official protest was
made by the receiver; that John It
Morrison, then governor, was plainly
told that the pull Hoffman was enjoy
ing was jeopardizing the success of the
republican party.
Now if this be true, and the Star
Mirror has the proof, we submit the
case of Morrison, and insist that he
is not a fit man for the responsible
position of governor of Idaho. lie is
again Heitman's candidate, for Heit-
man would again wax fat because of
the pull he would probably have with
the same Morrison that permitted
Hoffman to prostitute the state land
department during those years when
Dwyer, Morrisons official agent, was
the Lewiston land dis
-rict, and during which time the peo-
pie of this state were being ruthless
" shorn of their heritage; when the
schools of the state were being robbed I
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1912-06-24

The Star-Mirror asks the republican
thing-to weigh the evidence and de-
eide the fitness of John T. Morrison
solely on the merit of his case. That
is fair. In other words, do not vote
against Morrison because this paper
asks you to, but because of the fit
ness or unfitness of Morrison himself.
That is high ground. That is fair to
Morrison. 1t is fair to yourself, and
in keeping with the duty of a good
citizen.

To Hiram Bedding and his

Of these men that it must neces-
sarily be woven in the fabric
around which the story Of our
growth is written. In 1851 Hiram
Bedding moved to these parts from
Ashfield, Mass, and purchased Of
Levi Broas 81 acres of land. The
land was unimproved, and during
the process of Improvement he
found temporary habitation with
his wife and three children at the
home of Lewis Ellis. In few
months he had built from the
forest a home for himself and
loved ones. I'm 1858. two sons, M.

coming Silk City could not stand
such isolation. a lumber company
was organized by Wilson, Luther

elected president of an organiza-
ton to secure a railroad into Beld-

active work of construction anG

laid the railroad ran freight into
the city over the rails but for a
long time. an old horse car was
put on the track and sent out to
meet all passenger trains and in
this crude way Bedding first came
in connection with the outer
world

lish their present magnificent silk

matter of respect to the men who
looking into the future could see
a bright crown Of success for their
chosen town, the name Of Bedding
was legally adopted. 1t remained
a village until 1893 when by a
special Act of the Legislature ii
received "A charter as a city. The
first officers of the Silk City were
as follows: + r.. Spencer, Mayor (:
Thomas Welch. Clerk G.. +. Hills,
treasurer. Mr.. Spencer was mayor
for two years and during his life
always pointed with pride so the
fact that he was the first mayor
of Belding. Mr.. Spencer was sue
ceeded by Hon. Willis +. Bricker,
and he held the position for two
years. Hon. A. Il. Spencer was
the next choice for mayor and

In an issue Of this kind, where
each progressive citizen joins with
his brother in putting to the front
their chosen city, a retrospective
view Of its past as well as record
of its present would seem to us
to be absolutely essential in order
to show to the people far and near
how much of development md
progress has come to the city since
the day and hour Of lis birth.
The early history of Bedding
has never been written in detail
and in order to bring it to our
readers, we have found it neces-
sary to interview some of those
whose life and years have been
spent practically within the con
fines of what now constitutes the
progressive and up-to-date city Of
Bedding.
From the information gathered
from early pioneers of this city
we find that the first white settler
to set foot upon the spot now
known as Bedding came here about
10 years ago. Sturdy pioneers from
the east. they came to these parts
with OK teams and wagons to hew
from the almost unbroken forests
a home and livelihood. Beneath
the same sun which today shines
over our thriving city in those
days of long ago, the Indian
hunter pursued the painting deer
the Indian warrior wooed his
dusky mate. Unlike the savages|
Of some of tlie western states, the
Indians who occupied this terri
tory were not Of a warlike nature.
They lived the simple life of the
forest and with the coming of the
white man cultivated a spirit OF
friendship with him and traded
with him from time to time.
The first store in Otisco town
ship. of which Bedding forms an
important factor, was built by \.
G.. Chase, father of Major Chase
Of the village Of Smyrna, in that
village in 1915. 1t was the second
frame building to be erected in
the township. In those days, Beld-
ing was an unknown quantity. No
stores. no residences, nothing

The first white child born in

came Mrs. H. G. Fales, the mother
of our present mayor. The first
