Spirit of Loot.
A significant feature Of occidental COM
ment on the disorders in China Is the
absence Of criticism of the spirit OF loot
rampant among supporters OF the de-
funct Manchu dynasty. The subject Is
too dlsagreeable to warrant the custom
airy ''holier-than-thou" expressions OF
horror. Memories OF the invasion OF the
International armies during the Boxer
troubles of dozen years ago bars the
plea Of shocked sentiments. The looting

native work. stamps the latter as crude
novices In the business. In The War of

the looting Of the rich city of Tuhgchow
by the International soldiery as "a veri-
table Orgy" and Of the looting OF Pc
king he relates this typical instance:
Nearly all the natives to be seen were

dens under the direction Of the French

vase Of old cloisonne Of rare and beauti.

Listen to the following from George
E. Hill, secretary of the Democratic
state committee, sent to men supposed
to be in position to use it to good effect:
Boise, Oct. 10-Dear Sir: Relative to
the supreme court decision rendered on
Tuesday, knocking the names of the
presidential electors of the Roosevelt
party off the ballot in this state, wish %
say there is good chance for an argu-
ment to the people to the effect that
the court has made mistake,
because in passing matter OF this kind
up to the people, upon which they
are to vote, no possible harm could
have resulted to the people, but il
might have resulted disastrously to a
political party only.
1.-THE people are the highest court in
the state and are the sovereign power
thereof and able to decide questions in
volving voting privilege, such as this
question was. Also, in this day and
age of the world, when the initiative,
referendum and recall are SO popular,
we believe that the people should have
had right to settle this question,
which would have given them larger

number of names to select from when
voting However we are not taking
sides i'm this matter, because we do not
want to offend any Of the lukewarm
Republicans who might otherwise vote
with us, because it might drive them
back into their party.
"The Roosevelt crowd and the
Capital News here will take care OF
this, but if you could get some of the
dissatisfied Republicans or Progress
ives in your city to write communi-
caiion to your Republican papers, stat
ing these facts, snd in this way get
them to publish the matter, it would be
a good thing. These papers would
doubtless do this for some OF their
advertising patrons, and in this way
the political leanings Of the supreme
court could be brought before the
people. Also Judge Stewart, who is
running again, would be accused OF
letting politics govern him in making
this decision rather than the law, OF
which there is very little in Idaho gov
erning this question, and it should
have been construed literally. Don't
let it be known this comes from anyone
officially connected with the Democrat
ic party"
Could any thing be pitched in a low
err key than this communication:
While it is sent out by Secretary Hill
it is fair to assume that it has been ap
proved by the party managers and tina
it is sent out with the sanction Of thu
leaders. 1t should be preserved as one
OF the curios OF the campaign.
