NEW YORK NOT FOR THE COLO
MEL.

The presidential candidate wht
carries New York will in all prob
ability be the next president. Fol
this reason the following from New
York correspondent of the Oregonian
is significant of the outcome in that
state:
Whatever Roosevelt may do in 9TH
er states, it seem safe already to say
that he and his new party will have
little effect in New York
Chairman Barnes of the republican
committee, may have his faults, but
one thing cannot be denied, he is an
able, resourceful leader, and gener
ally in a position to know how things
are going.
Immediately after the national con-
ventions Barnes communicated with
the leaders in every county, urging a
careful, exact report concerning the
strength of the Bull Moose party. He
has received these reports now, and
while expecting a hard, bitter fight
believes that Taft will receive the As
electoral votes of the Empire state.
If there is any Roosevelt enthusi-
asm it is so far under cover that
traces of it cannot be noted. Con
ventions" have been held in various
counties, but only a handful of men
have responded. For example, In pop
ulous Saratoga county the other day.
only 20 turned out to elect delegates |
to numerous conventions.

practically can be divided into two |
classes, "unknowns" and has beens."

Falls Tuesday
The first information Governor
Hawley had of the incident was from
telegram received by him late
Tuesday evening, signed by Is repata-
BILE citizens of Idaho Falls, to the eff
feet that young Greerer had arrived
there from the schools, black and blue
from his bruises, covered with humps
caused by the five-foot tug with which
he had been whipped, the telegram sta
ting that every blow knocked the boy
down. The whipping was done by A..
S. Stanley, an attendant, according to
the message.
Hill Tells the Story.
The governor at once telegraphed
George E. Hill, member of the board
from Rexburg, to investigate at once
and notify him. Yesterday he re-
ceived the following message:
Doubtless you have heard of the
trouble through the whipping ,of the
boy at at industrial school. Went to
Idaho Falls last night. Saw boy. He
shows outrageous treatment, boy COW
cred with sores and bruises from head
to foot. People in Idaho Falls indig-

and is slated for the gubernatorial
nomination of the new party. Wood

he was angered at being refused the
place of national committeeman. And
upon the shoulders of this trio rests
all the work of the local Bull Moose
movement.
At the Chicago convention Roose-
welt had the backing and votes of Will

chester and Onondaga counties. Both
of these men refused to leave the

they can for the reelection of Taft.

A NATIONAL "BLUE-SKY" LAW.

A NATIONAL "BLUE-SKY" LAW.
The Kansas "Blue-Sky" law Is re
ceiving a great deal of attention .hes,
| days. The law seems to have beer
effective in that state, and other states
are now talking about it. There is
| even some agitation for federal law
along the same lines, and the "Finan-
cial World In advocating a law OF
this kind, has the following to say.
This wise law has already proved
itself invaluable in safeguarding Kan
sas investors, but effective as like
laws would prove in all other states.
the get-rick-quick shark who goes
after the small and usually inexpcri-
enced investor and plumbers him,
still has the mails open to him. He
may operate in those states where he
can not open offices or employ agents
to appeal direct to the people, by the
use of the United States mails from
vantage points in states where no
'blue-sky' laws have been enacted.
He may, for example, still flood Kan
dividends and income for life, from
points outside of Kansas, and lure
the savings of his victims to his cof-
fers. Kansas can only warn against
these thieves.
Nothing save a stringent national
'blue-sky' law will be effective to
forever close the mails against the
sale of fake and wildcat securities |
1t is true that the postal laws close |
the mails to swindlers, but this can
be done only after these swindlers |
have been perpetrated and COM |
plants lodged with the postal author
tiles in Washington. These postal |
laws are not preventive; they are
only punitive. If we had a national
law making it obligatory on COM
panies to the full sworn statements
Of assets, earnings, capitalization,
etc., with the post office department
Or separate government bureau and
at the same time, sales

If securities without permission from
such department of the government,
The get-rich-quick man could be
wiped out in less than no time, and
f he nevertheless persisted in re-
uming business, he would have then
o take the consequences. 1t is up to
he national associations of our banks i,
nd investment bankers to agitate .
or the adoption of such a national

Chicago, Aug. THE platform of
the progressive party contains the
following declaration of principles with
regard TO the old parties:
political parties exist to secure re-
sponsib'e government and to execute
the Will of the people. From these
great tasks both OF the parties have
turned aside. Instead of instruments
to promote the general welfare, they
have become the tools of corrupt IN
terests which use them impartially TO
serve their selfish purposes. Behind
the ostenstble government sits en-
throned an invisible government. oW-
ing no allegiance and acknowledging
M responsibility to the people To
destroy this Invisible government TO
dissolve the alliance between corrupt
business and corrupt politics Is the
first task OF the craftsmanship OF tn
day.
"The deliberate betrayal of its trust
by the republican party. the fatal In
capacity OF the democratic party u
deal With the new issues of tie new
time, have compelled the people te
forge a new instrument OF government
through which to give effect to theil
will in laws and institutions Un-
hampered by tradition. uncorrupted is
power, undismayed by the magnitndi
of the task. the new party offers ~
self as the instrument of the people
TO sweep away old abuses. to build
new and nobler commonwealth.

that If their construction was the cor

question in his mind that the writer
contemplated suicide.
"MacTarland, on the witness stand,
said that when he took that cyanide
bottle off the shelf he noticed n con-
siderable quantity was gone. He
knew what had happened. He said
that never for a moment had he any
idea of deceiving the authorities, and
that his only object In making 1t look
like suicide WAS to avoid scandal.
That Is ridiculous. Why, the very
last thing that has been offered as
evidence (referring to the statement
to the police), a statement made TO
the authorities, makes plain in his
been suicide.
1T could not have been by mistake,
for woman could not have walked
the five seconds necessary to get to
her bed II she had taken the poison
at the washstand by mistake.
I'VE have heard for the first time
on October II, 1912, that on the 18th
of October, 1911, when he discovered
the dead body of his wife. that his
little girl. less than years old, when
he started to take her downstairs
lad walked UP to him and offered
him glass. And yet this did not
occur to Mr.. MacFarland when he
spoke to DIR. Mackenzie or Detective
Godfrey when standing near the
basin and said: Here is the bottle
and here is the glass with a few
dregs.' And it never occurred to him
to say that the baby had picked it
up. If there Is one thing that weak
ems defense 1t Is a palpable lie that
is an essential part of the defense
and the fact that this essential de-
tail OF the defense which has never
been stated to a single soul within q
year is a lie that brands the whole
defense on the ground OF suicide as
false.
HE tries TO assert that it was sui
eide" said the assistant prosecutor;
last time he tried to say 1t was an
accident. That dodge proved futile
and jury convicted him, so now he
changes his front like chameleon
and falls back on suicide. This is as
palpable lie as the whole defense is
plainly false and the man guilty of
murder in the first degree"
