E. A. Burrel of Montpelier who

Republican ticket from Bear Lake
County has resigned to take up the
work of Grand Master of the Mason
ic Order for Idaho, and Charles E.
Wright. editor of the Montpelier Ex-
aminer has been rendered and has ac-
copied the place on the ticket.
If he is elected, Bear Lake County
will be we'll represented in the low
er house, for Mr.. Wright is we'll
read man in legislative matters. Be-
sides being well read he IS a persis-
tent student of such matters, and
one of the very practical kind. He
is so well acquainted with men AMI
matters in this state that he can step
into legislative work and not be at
the disadvantage of taking up some
thing new. If Boar Lake wants
something at the hands of the leg
islature it will stand a good chance
to get it through the efforts of Mr..
Wright.

As to his being rolitic.,i boss. We
have never observed him acting such
parts, and we recall having sat with
him in conventions where the vote
was close on matters he had very
decided opinions on, and he showed
no disposition to try to influence the
vote of any man on the delegation
when he knew tat others were like
ly to vote the opposite of hi, views.
The charge t,:at Mr.. Dickinson
will be likely to vote &c somebody
directs will appear absurd to those
who know the man, for it is one of
his characteristics that he reaches
his own conclusions in his own way
and never hesitates to stand alone If
he thinks he is right; in fact he is
rather obstinate and has to be shown
before he will change.

The men and women in the Black

when they reach the age their par

ted, and they in turn will leave
children to follow them in their un-
happy imprisonment.
DR.. F. H. Poole, superintendent of
the Asylum at Blackfoot, has been
making extensive study of these
matters. and in connection with
some others who are convinced of
the necessity for such action, will
have the bill presented for consider
alton. Such measures have been
enacted into law in about a dozen
other states, and it is confidently ex-
pected that with the passing of one
generation, IS percent of insanity

appalling increase in the number of

OF ESTIONS FOR TEDDY TO AN
SWER-

Judge Goodwin editor CT the Salt
Lake Telegram, propounds a few
questions to Col. Roosevelt, which
thoughtful people would like to have
answered. They are as follows.
Had he, though his bogus contests
in the Republican national conven-
ton and his program to have some
thing over 200 honest Taft delegates
shut out from voting until he was
nominated, succeeded, would he now
be storming the country denouncing
the Republican party and crying
Stop theft"
Did he, during the seven years
that he was president of the United
States, find the Republican party so
corrupt and fossilized?
When did he first discover that
such gentlemen as William H. Taft
and Elihu Root were unworthy of
the respect OF clean man like him.
self?
During the years that he was presi-
dent was he absorbed in the prop
osition that the people must rule, or
was he then, as he now is, insist
ing upon his own indiv dual rule?
And when sudden impulse of
his was ignored did he hesitate to
denounce both congress and the SUI
preme court?
And when it comes to the prop
osition, Thou shalt not steal is
there one original plank in his plat
form? Is there one that was not
borrowed" from LaFollette, ctr
Bryan, or the old Populist party that
was the nursery Of Mr. Bryans pol
itical faith?
The colonel is fierce in his denun-
citation of trusts. Has Mr.. Perkins,
his financial campaign manager, with
drawn from the harvester's trust? If
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-09-27

he has, who is supplying the colonel
with campaign funds?
The colonel says he is honest and
would not, if he could, be consti-
tutional king. Assuming that to be
true, We will suppose a case. Sup
pose the colonel was either president
or private citizen and some distin-
guished man who had been for two
terms president had started out with
out an invitation, announcing him
self candidate for reelection,
against the rule that has been in
violable since the days of Washing
ton and all the sacred traditions of
parties, suppose his assumed anxiety
had all been for the masses as against
the classes, and all the time the rich
men supplying his campaign funds
with thousands of dollars; suppose,
when the convention came, he had
dicated policy to cheat all OPP
ponents out, of a nomination, which
was ignored but still the convention
would, had he consented, have nomi-
mated one of his own friends, that
then, when fairly beaten, he had or
ganized new party on crazy quilt
platfrom of his own construction
and succeeded in getting himself
nominated, and then started out
with corporation money to make a
campaign to destroy the party that
had so honored him, would the col
onel have kept still? Would he not
now be in digniffed way telling the
people the man was dangerous
man? And in private would he not
be denouncing him a Did To-
coed nave rick?

IDAHO FOLLOWS EARLY.

Idaho is going to take advanced
ground in the consideration OF one
bill at the next session of the legis-
lature, that has been adopted In but
few of the states, and while the leg
islators may not enact the matter in
to law, it will have the endorse
ment of large number of people
who have thought and studied race
problems.
IT deals with the delicate subject
of the propagation of the species,
and because it was delicate ques-
tion and entered into the matter of
human rights, it has been let go I'M
til it forces attention to itself by the
ever increasing menace.
1t is a we'll known fact that insan-
ity is hereditary, and it is just as
necessa y that it be stamped out as

ing the conditions that perpetuate it..
A great deal of attention is being
given to sanitation. and conditions
are being brought about that stop
the production of disease germs. 1t
is considered sossible and necessary,
and the same principle is being APP
piled to the matter of insanity, and

next session of the legislature, a
bill will be introduced providing
that persons who are in the line of
hereditary insanity or criminality,

would know the difference after the
slight wound was healed.
1t would in no wise affect the per-
sons health or happiness or capa-
city in any way except that there
could be no direct heirs.
The reasoning that justifies this
move is that asylums penitentiaries
and reformatories are filed with peo
pie who are very much related, and
the unbalanced mental conditions
that take them there run in the
the stock. Statistics show that about

institutions have relatives who oc-

The Vote on Governor.

he can't win and he knows he can't

ROASTING ROOSEVELT
A dispatch from st. Joseph, M,

A dispatch from St. Joseph, Mo-,
says:
Thomas r. Marshall of Indiana,
Democratic yice-presidential nomi-
nee. began campaign tour to-day
with speeches at Kansas City, Kan,
in the afternoon and in this city in
the evening.
He uttered scathing denunci-
.ation of the Roosevelt party's pre-
emption of the Republican emblem
for it's electoral ticket in Kansas
describing it as rank piracy and pol
itical trickery unworthy of candi-
date for constable. He denounced
conditions of female labor at the
Auburn, n Y, plant of George w.
Perkins's harvester trust. In an
interview he declared that the rem
edy for the trust evil lay with the
states.
Bull Moose Piracy
Never has the black flag of pir-
acy fioated above the political seas
as now; never was it saluted with
so much honor" declared Governor
Marshall in his Kansas City, Kan,
speech.
The Progressives claim that the
Republican party is even worse than
the Democratic party; yet here in
the state of Kansas they propose to
place the Republican emblem above
their progressive electors and there
by force the Taft Republicans to do
one of three things, none of which
they want to do--to vote the pro-
gressive ticket; to vote against
their principles and for the Demo
cratic ticket; or to stay away from
the polls and not vote at all
THAT may be a mark of stick
politics, but it is not mark of hon
est politics.
There can be no doubt as to the
duty of governor whose state faces
this condition of affairs. He should
at once convene his legislature to
change the states election laws. 1t
is also the duty of your governor to
see that the Republican party has its
ticket upon the ballot and under its
emblem.

here-a trick which would i'll become
