it absolute justice to the ninety
million users of it in this coun-
try. 1t has passed the House
and is now pending in the Sen
ate, and instead of joining the
small class interested in growing
sugar beets and the few man
ufacturers who are extracting
the sweetness from the tubes
and an exorbitant price from the
people, we hope, trust and be-
lieve that the Senate will take
similar action as has the House.
It is a just principle and good,
wholesome public policy to shift
the burden of taxation, whether
direct or indirect, from the toll
ing masses to the readers of lux
ury. Why should Kentucky
farmers ask tax on the prod
ucts they are compelled to buy!
Why should the beet growers
and manufacturers expect us tC
be more generous than them
selves? If free sugar will re-
duce the profits of those ENGAGED
in putting sugar on the market,
certainly the price will be re-
duced to the many who buy
Kentucky farmers will not at
tempt to obstruct the passage o.
the bill.

Republican Convention.

Back in our school-boy days
question for debate in the liter
ary societies was, Which is the
more powerful, the sword or the
pen."
In view of the Republican con-
vention which was held here
Saturday, we will suggest anoth-
er: (Which is the more power
full, noise, or silence?"
We will know in a day or two
how the district convention re-
CARDS the question.
In the convention Saturday,
the Roosevelt men lined up for
voice. pandemonium or some
thing called by another name,
reigned, and would not down
even for any number of raps of
the gavel.
While this was at its height,
the Roosevelt men using their
lungs with shouts and cries that
almost lifted the roof of our hall
of justice. Three or four Taft
men gathered on the stand, and
helo a whispered conference
with the chairman Of the con-
vention. May be they read
something to him, if they did,
the convention of four or five
hundred Republicans did not
know it, or what it was. No an
nouncement was made to the
convention-no vote was had, or
if there was any it was confined
to the three or four. The chair
man, 50 far as is known, sub
mitted nothing to the conven-
ton. He raped, but spoke nc
word. He was silent.
The noise finally subsideG save
a random yell here and there
and then it was announced-no
by the chairman-he was silent
but by a member Of the conven
ton, that resolutions had beer
adopted, delegates appointed
, and the convention had been ad
, journed.

TRIBUTE IS PAID
SENATOR BORAn
BY la TOILETTE

No greater tribute could be paid to
Senator William T.. Borah than that
contained in a telegram received today
by S. e. Blaine chairman OF the Ada
county Republican committee, from
Senator Robert La Toilette. the favorite
son of Wisconsin. Senator La Toilette
offers his services in Idaho to aid In
the recollection of the Junior senator
and at the same time points out to
electors in this state that Senator
Borah was the first to take position
in the front rank and on the skirmish
line in the fight against privilege and
his defeat now could only be counted
as an irreparable loss.
Senator La Follettes telegram Is as
follows:
Madison. Wis. Oct. II, 1912.
Mr. s. r. Blaine,
Boise, Idaho.
l am sending you this brief word to
express the hope that l may, before the
campaign closes, be able to visit Idaho
and contribute in some small part
toward the reelection of Senator
Borah. Few men In public life today
are serving the people of this whole
country as effectively as Borah. In his
first term. he has attained to q COM
handing position Of power and influ-
ence. His contributions to the debates
cover a wide range Of the most impor-
tant subjects and are contributions Of
a high order Of craftsmanship. Idaho
will never have representative more
jealous of her interests or equipped
with greater industry, learning, elo-
quence and ability to defend them. In
the counsels of the group OF pro-
gressive Republicans who have given
the progressive movement high place
in the history Of our time, Borah's
wisdom and foresight are so relied up
on that any failure to return him to
the senate would be counted an irre-
parable loss. feel keen personal in
terest In his election because he was
one of the first to take his place on
the skirmish line in the fight against
| privilege and appeal to the pro-
gressives of Idaho without regard to
party to honor themselves by honor
ing him with their loyal support.
