Preserve Old Elm Tree.

To carry out the general scheme for
the new capitol here 1t has become
necessary to move giant elm tree
which has stood on the grounds for
seventy-f1ve years. The tree Is to be
moved twenty feet, and to do this a
tunnel thirty feet wide will be dug.
The dirt around the tree for ten feet
in every direction will be left undis-
turbed. The ditch or tunnel will ex-
tend under the tree and timbers Will
be set up on which the weight OF the
tree will rest. When the ground Is
frozen a small engine will pull the elm
to its new Decentralization (Wis.)

JUDGE BULGE IS A MORMON.

Judge Bulge is entitled to square

gumshoe campaign against him, US
ing as their reason for opposing him
fit man for supreme judge the
fact that he is a Mormon. Judge
Bulge is a Mormon, but forget this
fact long enough to make an honest
and fair investigation of his long of
fetal record as a district judge i'll the
state AS a judge no man has ever
been more uniformly fair and impair
tial, and no district judge has a finer
record. 1t is said that in eleven years
the supreme court has never once
reversed him on criminal decision.
In civil matters he has also been Just
and fair. And the best evidence of his
fitness as a judge is the confidence
and respect of all classes, which in
cludes members of all churches out
side his own, in his district where
for eleven years he has presided as
judge in the district court. Like
Judge Edgar Steele, this man has, be-
cause of the confidence in which he
is held, and because of his fine record
as judge, on several occasions been
reelected. There has
been no desire to replace him. So why
not be fair? Why not give the man
honest credit? If his record is clean |
and his qualifications sufficient the !
brand of his religion should make no

WILL MORRISON DO?

Within a few weeks the republicans
of Latah county will be called upon
to decide whom they will have for theil
standard bearer for governor in the
coming election There are now
three -Clagstone, who
hopes to pull through on the second
Ex-Governor John T. Morrison. Be
tween these men the republicans OF
Latah county, and the state must de-
eide
That decision should be wise one
| For, after the nomination comes the
. election, and if the republicans are to
| win they must make no mistake. So
. the Star Mirror desires to call the at
| tention of the republicans of Latah
county to a few facts. John T. Nor
rison was once governor of Idaho. AS
governor his record is open, and what
he did indicates the man. The Star
Mirror has said that Morrison will
not do, and gave as the reason his
attitude in the famous Steunenberg
case, in which he joined with the de-
Tense and used his influence to clear
those believed to have committed the
crime. The people of the state will
probably never be quite satisfied that
Mr. Morrison, as ex-governor, had a
moral right to do what he did. His
services should have been on the other
side. Thirty pieces of silver will
not justify the position he took. He
had been governor of Idaho and so
had Steunenberg. His duty was plain.
These men had right to fair trial
and to able counsel, but they had no
right to the services of John T. Nor
risOn.
Morrison said he was a friend of
Steunenberg; he stood by the open
grave of the martyred governor and
shed tears over the mangled remains
of the man whose life had paid the
price of loyalty to official duty. Yet,
for thirty pieces of silver" he loan
ed his services and his influence as an

with the crime. He had no right to
do it. He outraged the dignity Of his
state when he did So He sacrificed
his right to further consideration at
the hands of the people of Idaho. He
eliminated himself as a gubernatoriai
possibility
But let us look at Morrisons offic-
ial record. Let us ask the farmers of |
the state who it was that signed the |
unfair and Ubiquitous net output law |
that has for years exempted the rich |
mines of the state? John T. Morrison.
And who, during the same notable
session of the state legislature signed
the beet sugar bounty bills, measure
so unconstitutional that those back
Of it have never dared to test it in
The courts? John T. Morrison. 1t is
said that the mining interests support
ed the beet bounty bill, in considera-
ion for the net output bill that would,
f the state paid the beet bounty, throw
he burden of the expense on the
armers of the state Morrison, as

LET US BE MEN.

| Two-thirds is an almost impossible
wanted and desired by the people
can ever hope to pass the ordeal Of
such a contest as that of Tuesday
Now that the people have spoken nc
counsel obstruction and contribute to
needless delay. More than two thirds
of the taxpayers in Moscow have, by
their votes, said they are tired of the
mud and are in favor of taking an
advanced step to provide clean, beau
tiful streets. The minority should be
willing to acquiesce. And to their
credit let it be said that there seems
to be a willingness on the part of
many who worked hardest against
paving to accept the verdict and join
in the movement The most that
could be accomplished would be but
little delay, for the demand for
paving is not child's whim. The
people will not quit In the end the
majority will have their way. And
the minority, after eXhausting every
resource. and expanding as much
money as they may desire, and more
than they can afford, will face utter
defeat
The contest has been fair one. Let
the verdict be accepted as final, and
let the people forget their difference
and unite to the end that the best
interests of Moscow may be advanced
The people, now that they are going
to spend their money, want their
moneys worth. They want the best
possible paving for the least possible
They do not want suspicion of graft.
And it is right that they should feel
thus. Rather than waste our re-
sources and time in needless litigation
factions, and as citizens Of Moscow,
interested equally in the growth and
prosperity of our city, work together
to our common good. Let us join in
getting square deal.
In this connection the Star-Mirror
desires to compliment the city council
for its manifest desire to give the tax
payers square deal The council has
shown a spirit that ought to inspire
They have taken stand
that is high and clean. If the people
do not get what they want it will be
their own fault. The council has as
sured open bidding which means com
petition and low prices. And they
have asked the citizens themselves to
lecide on the kind of paving they want
If, then, the people, having a ooun-
ell that is honest and fair. and them
selves are given the opportunity to
say what they shall have for their |

IRRIGATION FOR
EUPHRATES DELTA

| LONDON, June 13.-The plans for
turning the desert regions of Meso-
pOtamia into an agricultural paradise
are being pushed by the Turkish gov
bles. The irrigation scheme which
originated in the brain of Sir William
Wilcox will involve the expendi-
ture of $15O,OO0,0O0 before it is com
plete. The dam which is to control the
flood water of the River Euphrates is
under construction by British COM
pany, and the Turkish government is
now anxious to proceed with the mi
tial stages of the the irrigation works
The success of the plan will enable
enough grain to be grown to affect
the cereal markets of the world. In
ancient times the whole of the Eu-
pirates delta was irrigated, and the
rank growth of grain excited the won
der of Greek travellers. According to
the sometimes veracious Herodotus,
the land yielded three hundred fold,
and there is no doubt that at the time
of the Greek historians visit, the del
ia was the chief granary of the world
But if tradition can be relied upon
its fertility was of even greater an
tiquity, for it was here that popular
belief located the Garden of Eden. 1t
is matter of history, moreover, that
from the delta, wheat, found here in
its wild and uncultivated state, was
taken and gradually transplanted all
over the world
The land which gave birth TO the
worlds staff of life is now a barren
waste threaded with the ruins of the
great bikes and bitches built with stu
pendous pains by the Chaldeans. The
ruin of the greatest of ancient irriga-
ton works was accomplished in the
eleventh century by the forebears OF
the Turks, who are now seeking their
restoration.

GER MAN EMPRESS
WON'T SEE OPERA

BERLIN, June 13.-EmpresS Aug
production of "Parsifal" at Beiru
and it is doubtful whether this great
est of Richard Wagner's mystic operas
will ever be produced again in Beirut
the only place it ever has been play
ed in Europe. 1t was Wagners wish
that this majestic religious spectacle
one of the scenes of which is the
Lords Supper" should never be
| played anywhere but in the great
theatre at Beirut, built for the produc-
ton of Wagner's works. 'Parsifal'
was legally protected against pro-
duction anywhere in Germany or Aus
tria without permission for period
| of years which expires in 1913. AL
ready plans are being made in Vienna
Berlin and other cities to stage this
great opera as soon as the prohibition
expires. In Vienna the new $3.u00,-
600 opera house now being built is to
be opened with "Parsifal." Wagner
looked upon "Parsifal' as the peas
ants of Oberammergau do upon the
Passion Play" which they refuse to
produce elsewhere.
Frau Cosima Wagner, widow of the
famous composer, it is said in court
circles, has decided to produce Par
sifal' once more in Beirut-the last
time-if the empress could be pre-
vailed upon to attend. In response to
have replied through Countess Won
Brokdorff, her court mistress, that she
greatly regretted that the empress
could not bring herself to comply
with Frau Wagner's wishes. That
the empress looked upon the Lords
Supper on a stage in theatre as a
descratiCn of this profound holy relig-
ious ceremony and that she could not
reconcile her religious conviction,
faith and belief in the holiness of this
function which should be sacred to
the church, with bringing herself to
ever witness a production of Par
Slidl. lHlS, IL is Sdlu, HAS ulScOur-
aged Frau Wagner, who, like her hus-
band, looks upon "Parsifal" as a great
religious production of the composer
of many operas, sacred to the pre-
cincts OF the Beirut theatre She has
refused to allow it to be played else
where for money making purposes.
She considers the playing of it
elsewhere as dissertation, has con
sistently refused all offers and was
very bitter when it was produced in
New York some years ago. Now that
the legal prohibition in Germany and
Austlia is about to expire she has
hope TO produce it once within the
hallowed precincts OF Beirut But the
empress declination, who has always
refused to attend "Parsifal," it is said,
probably will decide Frau Wagner not
to have it played again in Beirut
The empress is a strong orthodox
Protestant The magnificent ritual and |
ceremonial OF the Catholic church APP
peals strongly to the emperor's nature |
Deeply religious, he is more liberal in |
his view than is the empress. Crown |

gion. She attended a performance of |
