The wiping out of that Virginia
court by a gang of outlaws should
put the peanut politicians to think

put a stop to the wild talk about the

would favor the recall of a lot of
noisy politicians who are putting all
sorts of devilment into the heads of
the criminally-inclined ignoramuses.

COMMUNICATION

Editor Bonanza,
Dear Sir: Noticing your comment
on the expressed willingness Of many
persons to take human life, ! was
prompted to write this article. II is
not strange in the light of the fact
OF our great advancement in science
and philosophy that almost our en-
tire humanity is still controlled by
emotion, sentiment, rather than by
reason. A day or two since a very
estimable lady related to me some
of the details of the Mirkovich-
Gregovich affair; II was the first
details | had heard, for ! never read
such accounts. She told me how the
murderer had thirsted for the blood
of the murdered man, and | saw that
she thirsted for the blood of the
murderer. She did not say that it
was too bad that no one could be
found to shoot him, but she fondly
hoped that justice might be done.
All! yes, justice; what primitive
ideas we have of justice.
If we thirst for the blood Of man
hare we not murderers, or does il
make some difference whom we de
sire to murder? Justice should be
based on reason: indeed, it is be
Ilieved to be so based; but our PEG
Iple are controlled by an emotion
called sentiment and reason is a
Ionce dethroned. In the light of rea
Ison many of our best people arr
seen to be no better than the worst.
A negro falls into that dark rec
eausmic current called animal pas
sion and commits crime and a
once so or 100 white men fall int
that same current, now called sent
ment; just another emotion of pas
Ision and they commit against thei
victim the greatest crime they cal
conceive of and call it justice.
Justice and reason, where ar
Thou? Will humanity never ris
above that primitive idea of an ey

MOtOrship's Maiden Trip.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The motor ship
Selandia, the first internal combustion
engined ocean-going passenger and
cargo vessel, has concluded it's maiden
trip to the East Indies, a 2I,000- u,ile
voyage, during which the engines were
stopped only once for slight adjust
ment of the valves.
In all matters of fuel consumption,
ease of maneuver and general hehav-
Tor, the vessel exceeded all expecta-
lions. East of the Suez canal the mo-
tor ship gained the name of Devil
Ship" due to her movement without
either sails or tunnels. The success OF
the motor-driven ship has induced her
owners to contract for three vessels of
the same type, but with greater horse
power and tonnage.

MORE LIVE STOCK.

Dean Carlyle Of the University oil
Idaho, is today bringing into Idaho an
other shipment of fine live stock, this
time for the use of the college of agri-
culture at the university. The ship
ment consists of carload of fine beef
cattle, of pure bred stock, which will
be used for breeding purposes.
This work of the university should
have the heartiest support of every
farmer in Idaho. In way the uni
versity is in business. Ii purchases

and consequently cheaper. These ami
mails are used to build up the universe
herds, and are then sold off 70 the
farmers, at prices which in
dividuals could not otherwise du-
plicate, and in turn build up the grade
of live stock in Idaho.
This Inland Empire, which sends
millions to Chicago every year for
meat that should be raised probably
in it's own borders will some day
thank Dean Carlyle and the University
of Idaho for teaching il to keep that
money at home. and to develop a most
profitable live stock industry.

Horrors of the Congo.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Sir Roger Case
ment, who wrote the recent sensation

brought to light the horrors of the
Congo under the Leopoldian rule He
has been in the consular service for
many years, but did not gain his
knighthood until coronation year.
During his investigation in the
Congo region he was frequently threat
ened with assassination and his life
was many times in Jeopardy. When it
was found impossible to scare him out
of the Congo, King Leopold's press
began a virulent campaign against
him, and every effort was made . dis
credit his reports and to sniirch his
personal reputation. Since 1908 he has
been the British consul-general in Rio

THE PRIMARY AND THE PIE
COUNTER.

If you are from Ada county your
presence is respectfully requested at
the pie counter III you are from north
Idaho you can go into the garden and
eat worms.
This is the substance of an extra
official opinion handed down by II. C.
McDougall, attorney general of Idaho,
in explaining to Representative VIM.
NJ. Morgan just why R. H. Barton of
this city, past department commander
of the G. A. R. of Idaho, is inelligi-
BILE to the position of commandant of
the Idaho Soldiers Home.
To the people of Idaho it is prcba~
BILE that this opinion, which the at
torney general has handed down IN a
semi official capacity, is more i'm
portant thar many of his official opin-
ions. 1t clears up what was a twilight
zone of political rights in the state.
1t makes a clear distinction between
those who belong, and the hoi polloi
1t defines the utter hopelessness of
those, out in the highways and by
ways of the state wear not the we'd
ding garment of Ada county citizen
ship and who are condemned to ex-
terror darkness.
Mr. McDougall calls attention to the
results of the primary election, and
bases his decision upon the will of
the people as expressed in the ballot
box. Whether exactly constitutional
or not, Mr. McDougall's decision upon
that higher morality, that re-su5lirned
ethics of the newer politics, "voX pop
uli, vox dei"-the voice of the ballot
box is the voice of the god in the ma
chine.
The primary law in this state is
splendid effort in theory. In practice
it places in the hands of coterie of
politicians within stonesthrow of the
Boise state-house the power to deny

representation in the councils OF state
affairs to the people within the out
lying districts of the state who are
most affected. What. on the one hand
do the people of north Idaho know
about the needs of the settlers In the
great irrigated projects of the south
ern part of the state? On the con-
trary what do the people of the irriga-
ted farms know of the needs of north
Idaho in the development of her tim
Der industries, her mines, and her
great agricultural resources under
the blessing of Gods good rain? Judge
Dunbar of Boise, when he visited Mos
COW recently found north Idaho farm
crops revelation; and yet Judge
Dunbar was before his coming prob
ably better posted upon the resources
of his state than nine-tenths of those
voters of Ada county who deny us a
representation in the important state
boards whose decisions affect our in
terest most vitaly through their use of
a clumsy, unweildly and Impractical
BILE primary law
Scores of democrats in this county
openly declare that they voted for GER
tain republican candidates in the pri-
maries. because they though those can
didates would be easily beaten. 1t is
this riot of unclean politics, coupled
with that other unseemly working of
the primary law, the alignment of the
south as against the north, that de-
feated Axel P. Ramstedt, the best
qualified man from every standpoint
for the position of state auditor, and
a man whose broad sympathy and deep
knowledge of the conditions of the
northern part of the state would have
given us friend at court and Sc
cured some measure of justice from
the important state boards which hold
the fate of our interests in their hands.
This is the result of the primary
law as 1t is upon our statute looks.
AS the law it stands as the supreme
expression of the will of the people.
In the light of the higher morality"
the attorney general could not do
otherwise than uphold that manifest
will, for what business has a Mos
COW man to be q candidate for any
thing?

Horse Problem In England.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The rapidly dis
appearing horse is becoming a serious
problem in England, especially to the
war office, which finds the question of
remounts harder to meet each year.
The latest attempt to solve the prob
lem is movement for the revival OF
the Welsh light roadster and according
to a report of the board of agriculture,
government grants have been given for
the encouragement of the breeding of
this type.
Similar arrangements will probably
be made for the breeding of the rap
idly disappearing old Devonshire pack
horse, but it is feared that it may be
too late to save this type, as it is al
most extinct. Premiums are also TO be
given to encourage the breeding of the
old strain of Welsh cob.

POPE Plus Y. BEGINS
TENTH PONTIFICAL YEAR

ROME, Aug. cit was nine years
ago Sunday since the memorable Sun
day on which Giuseppe Sarto, who had
been patriarch of Venice, was crowned
PontifeX Maximus of the Catholic
church and invested with the insignia
of his office in the great Basilica of
st. Peter, filled to it's capacity with in
terested spectators from al parts of the
globe. Owing to the extremely deli
cate condition of the pope's health,
hich compelled him some time ago re-
luctantly to follow the urgent advice
of his physicians and to suspend all
public audiences and functions, there
was no public observance of the an
niversary.

entered upon the tenth year of his
reign as supreme pontiff partakes of
additional Importance inasmuch as it

PRESS BUREAUS CONDUCT
WAR OF THEIR OWN

ROME, Aug 6.-Italy's war with
Turkey, as conducted by the armies
and navies of the two countries, does
not appear to be one whit more stem
uous than that phase of the conflict
which is conducted by the respective
press bureaus of the two beligerent
powers. Incidentally, it would appear
from the complaints of the Italian
government press bureau, that in this
one respect at least, Turkey is getting
the better of the conflict.
Following each battle in Tripoli, the
Italian government through it's press
bureau gives out its version of the en-
counter. In turn, the Turkish press
bureau prepares it's account and this is
sent to all Of the European press. AS
a consequence, it usually happens tina.
both countries, or rather both press
bureaus claim complete victory, and it

would appear that the two bureaus are
at about even honors.
But what Italy claims to be the rub
is that the Turkish press bureau not
being content with giving it's own pc
culiar version of every battle that
really happens. insists also on giving
accounts of numerous battles that do
not happen and in which the Italians
never fail to be defeated. Following
Ole of these recent alleged imaginary
accounts, the Italian press bureau
came back with the following grievous
complaint:
THE procedure of the Turkish gov
eminent is unworthy of respectable
nation. To deceive all Europe and to
mislead public opinion in it's own
country, it does not hesitate at the
strangest mystifications. Its audacity
in disgusting facts, in exapperating
the number of Italian dead, and in re-
ducing the number of it's own losses is
verify something inexplicable.

parish priest, nine years bishop and
nine years a patriarch, would not be
pope more than nine years. Super
stitions concerning the probable du-
ration of the reign of popes have al
ways been quite common, but almost
invariably their fallacy was shown by
the actual facts. During the reign of
Piux TX the superstitious belief was
quite general that he would not be
pope more than 25 years months and
Z days, that is, not longer than St.
Peter reigned after the establishment
of the papal see in Rome. Yet Plus
TX disproved the superstitious theory
by reigning 81 years z months and Fl
days.
There have been but three popes
who have reigned more than 25 years.
The first was ST. Peter, who spent the
first seven years of his pontificate at
Antioch and then came to Rome where
he reigned an additional 25 years, 2

months and days before he died a
martyr. Next to him came Plus TX,
who reigned 81 years months and 81
days and then came Leo XIII, who was
pope 25 years and months Six pom
tiffs have reigned more than % years,
II more than 20 years, 800 less than
year and 9 less than l month. OF the
first 80 popes, 20 were martyrs, except
ST. Dionysius, who was the twenty
fifth. The total number of popes who
died martyrs was SO.
In view of the precarious condition
of the pope's health and the possibility
that he may not survive his ami
versary by more than few months,
speculation is ripe as to his probable
successor in the pontificate. Of
course, there is nothing definite to
form the basis of forecast, but one
thing seems to be tolerably certain
that the next pope will not be an Am
erican. In fact it seems to be general
ly understood that the successor of
Plus X is to be an Italian. The ire
mendous growth and development of
the Roman Catholic church in the
United States had given rise to the
hope that sooner or later one of the
American cardinals would be selected
for the papacy. That time may event
ually come, but at present that hope
Is undoubtedly premature.
