WOODROW TALKS
LIKE A GENTLEMAN

New York, Sept. 1S.--"In addition
to all his other excellent attributes
Governor Wilson is a gentleman at all
times" says the York (Pa.) Gazette,
The excitement and turmoil Of a
presidential campaign are not sufi-
cient to overthrow his poise or TO ex-
cite him to Incorporate language. He
has been the target of enough misvep.
resentation, extending all the way
from statements based upon a msun-
derstanding of his position to malicious
perversion OF facts with intent to de-
ceive, to make excusable some dis
play of temper. But he has kept coCl.
Particularly CALLING must have been
the language of the Third Termer.
But he has remained unmoved.
in his address before the New York
Press Club, Governor Wilson took
occasion to discuss the Roosevelt
party. Instead of the intemperate, and
at times insulting, manner in which
Roosevelt has treated him, the cover.
nor paid a high tribute to the really
honest members of that party that
must make them hang their heads in
shame when comparing it to the at
tacks made upon Wilson and democ-
racy by their leader and some of their
organs. 1t is a speech that. ought to
be read by all men. 1t is the mes
sage of real men. 1t is not the hysteTi-
ca Exclamation of man with a griev-
ance which he exalts into cause.
After paying high tribute to those
who really believe in the Roosevelt
cause, Governor Wilson calmly and
carefully points out the very obvious
fact that, even if their candidate
should be elected he could not at all
carry out the program which the party
has laid down. He does not feel call
ed upon to denounce any man as t
liar or a crook or assert that anyone
is guilty of false pretense, but cor-
tents himself with calling attention To
the great mistake being made by those
who hope to accomplish anything
through this movement.
IN a gentlemanly manner he tells
the public that the democratic party
has been progressive for sixteen years,
and that through ii, and it alone, can
come the relief demanded, which is
strictly true. Nor does he intilDate
that a man is a crook or 4 fool be-
cause he is a real republican. He lays
the blame right where it belongs when
he says that that party has oeea mis-
led by its leaders until now it is help
less and hopeless. He lays no claim
to divinity or infallibility on his part
or that of his party, but shows that Of
all parties it is the one best adapted
to the present needs of the public. 1t
is no wonder that he is gaining
strength so rapidly. He fully deserves
it ALL"

New York, Sept 1S-Judge NJ. J..

"The situation is growing more ia
vorable to democratic success at every
tick of the clock There is no telling
where Roosevelt and Taft will stand.
Personally | think that Roosevelt will
run second in the majority of the west
ern states. feel that he will run sec
ond in Iowa, but our state chairman,
who is a most excellent political judge,
tells me that Roosevelt will not get
more than 40 per cent of the republi-
can vote, and there you are.
The Roosevelt sentiment has not
crystallized, but is scattered and run
ming around like so much mercury We
of the west are wonderfully pleased
over the labor sentiment that is turn
ing to Governor Wilson every day. The
labor vote of this country is one of
the most important factors in an cleo
ton. The laboring man is doing his
own thinking and he is going to vote
as he sees fit.
so far we find extraordinarily good
news in all labor circles"

Solomon, the wise man declared:
There is nothing new under the
sum-" But of course the wise man
had never had occasion to do bushes
with the democratic party at the
time he wrote that no doubt truthful
saying. Could he have looked down
the vista of time and viewed the sit
nation at this date in the state of
Idaho he would no doubt have hedged
ON that statement. Our democratic
brethren are presenting a PROPOSE
ton to the voters of this state which
is undeniably new and unique. They
IN substance say: 1--WE know Sena-
tor Borah Is one of the leading fig
ures in the national congress; that
he has secured more beneficial legis-
lation for his state In the six years
which he has served US than any
senator from any other state; that
he has brought his state prominently
before the public by his able and dig
nified course and unceasing activities
In the interest of the general public;
that he is unexcelled as an orator
and in constant demand as speaker
that he Is sought after in the coun-
ellis for his fairmindedness, clear
judgment and legal and technical
knowledge; that he has won the re-
spect. esteem and sincere friendship
of all his colleagues who are worthy
to be counted as friends, as well as
the confidence and admiration of the
leading fasteners, and we cannot
deny that his home people love and
respect him, and II given a chance
to vote for him direct. would return
him to the senate by an overwhelm-
ing majority over any man we could
name. But, we are democrats, and
have a party duty to perform, un-
pleasant as 1t may be both to us and
to you. and all we ask Is that you
help us perform 1t. We believe in
the principles of the primary law and
the direct election of United States
senators. as we have declared In our
platform. but we believe that as the
law has not yet become effective the
principle should In this instance be
waived and Senator Borah retired in
the interest of the democratic organ
ization; you know we have thrifty
young state that Is growing rapidly,
and 1t will in time recover from the
effects Of the change. Who win we

be detrimental to Idaho county, what
has induced him to now come out
and assert that Mr.. Parker's ELEC-
TON would be beneficial to the
county. and that all editors or person
who assume to believe or state that
the position the Free Press editor as
sumed in the first place is correct, is
doing SO for political purposes or be-
cause they want to rip up the people
of the westside? Does the Free
Press editor suppose he can make any
one believe that it Is worse to NOM
mate a man than it would be to elect
him to office, II he was going to
work detriment to a community or
Its citizens by means of that office?
How could the nomination of Mr.. Par
ker injure Idaho county, and his cleo
ton not do so? Why should the
Free Press editor work for his defeat
for the nomination and then work for
his final election? Is not the Mr..
Parker before the primary the same
Mr.. Parker after the primary? II.
his plans and purposes before the
primary were to work an injury to
this county what has changed those
plans since? And how does the pub
lie know they have been changed? II
Mr.. Parker was unworthy of conf
dence then, has he since reformed?
The fact Of the matter is the Free
Press editor I'm his usual elusive
style, Is simply working the double
cross" and has overreached himself.
He has worked on one side of the
proposition quietly and by word of
mouth and on the other side of the
same proposition by cajolery and the
most fusome flattery through his
paper. The thought Of loyalty and
service to his home community or real
interest and friendship for Mr.. Parker
Dr. the westside people does not for a
moment enter into the motives OF the
Free Press editor-it is "how much is
here In 1t for me?"

The democratic party in Idaho
claims to the voters to be progress
sive," and yet it opposes the public
utilities act; 1t claims to favor the
direct primary law, and yet 1t used
every available means to nulify 1t In
the two elections held under that law,
and Gov. Hawley has tried to make 1t
as distasteful and unsatisfactory to
the people as possible by vetoing the
amendment which was intended to
prevent the voters of one party from
assisting in nominating candidates on
the other tickets; 1t claims to favor
the nomination and election of u. s.
senators by the direct vote of the
people, and yet it refused to nominate
candidate at the last primary, and
is now trying to defeat the return Of
Senator Borah, the candidate which
the people expressed a preference
for-Gov. Hawley, and several other
candidates declaring their intention
to do their best to defeat Mr. Borah
should a democratic legislature be
elected this fall. What claim has
such party upon the confidence and
support of the voter who is working
for the best interests of his state?
The body of the democratic voters of
Idaho are supposed to be progressive
In sentiment, can they afford to work
against their own and their states
interests simply to maintain a party
which while declaring fol
one thing to their face, has the ef-
frontery to turn around and do the
very opposite? Is party loyalty and
regularity" to be placed above love
of truth and country?

sided proposition, and to swat 1t as
hard as he can with both his influ-
ence and his vote? Certainly no

SMITH is THE RIGHT MAN.

Statesman, Boise: No man In the
state Is SO we'll and so favoaably
known in Washington. The long
experience of Mr. Smith with con-
gressional proceedings, coupled with
his genial disposition to help his
fellow men. has made him the
school master of more congressman
and senators than perhaps any other
living person. In offering himself
as candidate to represent Idaho
he gives his state the advantage of
this vast acquaintance. Mr.. Smith
also served for several years as
secretary OF the republican state
central committee. and through that
source he acquired an exceptionally
wide circle of friends and acquain-
tances among the public men of
Idaho. There is probably no other
man in the state better qualified for
the position he seeks

WHY THE WOMEN OPPOSE HAw.


The women of the state of Idaho
recall that Hawley vetoed the legis-
lative enactment defining community
property, and giving the wife an equal
share with the husband in the prop
erty interests of the family. Any
rightful system of constituted law
implies that the wife shall share
equally in the community property,
or in other words shall share the
possessions of family to an equal
degree with her husband.
Hawley vetoed that law.
He cited as his reason that in the
event the title of property was in
volved. or, for instance, it became
necessary to handle property in the
courts, that the husband was the
primary factor, that 1t would entail
too much expense to the state. and
otherwise, to consider a joint re-
lationship in the property of the
matrimonial alliance.
Thus he stood in the position of
citing expense" as his reason for
denying women the right to become
equal partners in the possession of
property, or in other words. placed
the interests of the wives and moth
ers of this state below dollars and
cents consideration, and the women
OF Idaho should not and do not for
get that.

HAWLEy's VETO ON PRIMARIES

The last session of the legislature
passed an amendment to the direct
primary law. That amendment was
a vital item in determining the right
of the elector and placed him In
consistent line with his own party &C.
ton. in other words the intent of
that amendment was to so clear the
direct primary law that II would
make 1t impossible for partisans OF
any particular party to participate
in the primary of any other party.
Its intent was to define a republi-
can, a democrat, socialist or any
other partyite, and had It gone
through, as passed by the legislature,
much OF the trouble that was occa-
stoned during the primary campaign
would have been avoided.
Since the direct primary became a
law 1t has been well established
fact that partyites of various faiths
participated Unfortunately in the
primaries. Several marked instances
were brought out during the last pri-
mary campaign. when, because of To-
cad conditions, republicans were
herded into democratic primaries
and vice versa. Had that amend
ment become law this condition
would have been impossible for the
reason that the amendment required
specifically that the voter should
state his politics upon entering the
booth.
That would have defined the vot-
ers' position and made 1t impossible
for him to affiliate with the pri-
maries of any other party.
That amendment did not become
law for the reason that it was We
toed by Governor Hawley. Hawley's
position on the matter is not exactly
clear, but his operation is as clear as
day. We will go back to the last
campaign. Hawley openly encourag-
ed the defeat of the real intent of
the people on direct primary. Haw-

constitutes the worst crime, and his
veto OF the bill confirms the idea
that he desires unlawful participa-
ton in primaries by partyites of any
description, or any affiliation so long
as they are operating in his interest.
The position is wrong, 1t is manifest

code
Had Hawley desired to stop the

crooked primaries he would have

sort of thing, but he vetoed the bill

one conclusion; he sought and DELHI

PRESIDENT DEMANDS a BUDGET.

The American government Is the
only one Of first rank which offers
to the public no budget, or proper
statement OF governmental income
and governmental expresses. Con-
gress makes appropriations for our
governments expenses. These ap-
preparations are based on estimates
submitted by the various departments
under law which makes no provi.
sion for executive review. OF course
without this review the estimates be-
come grossly inflated Such a methos
Is. as President Taft says, both
"haphazard and wasteful" He adds:
Authority is granted for the expan-
ditune of billion dollars each year,
without any thought as to where the
money is coming from. This is done
on the theory that there will be no
deficit. +. While the constitution
makes congress responsible for money.
raising as well as for appropriations,
responsibility for borrowing has been
shifted to the president, by empower
Ing to procure loans to meet deficits!'
No wonder that our presidents have
become FESTIVE under this method.
Some time ago Mr.. Taft sought to
correct 1t by directing the heads of
departments to send their estimates
to him before they were printed, SO
that a certain uniformity or standard
might be exercised over all of them.
This order reduced the initial esti
mates by millions of dollars, A part
OF the work of the recently institut-
ed economy and efficiency commits
sion is to summarize such statements,
and so to coordinate them as to bring
about a statement Of coming neces-
sary expenses which will not exceed
the balance in the treasury. Such
a reform has, of course, blocked
the schemes of those who would
profit by the wastefu diversion of
public moneys. Hence, i'm the appro-
priation bile passed at the close of
the late session of congress, the
economy and efficiency commission
was ruthlessly trimmed" One bill
reduced the salaries of the members
OF the commission, while in another
bill paragraph slipped i'm at the last
moment provides that 1.-THE regular
annual estimates of appropriations
and expenses Of the government shall
be prepared and submitted to con-
gress by those charged with the duty
OF such preparation and submission,
only In the forms as at the time are
required by law. and in no other form |
and at no other time" Despite this,
the president still plans to send his |
recommendations to congress in bud |
get form. He has now directed all |
the department heads to appoint rep
resentatives to confer with the econ |
omy and efficiency commission. In
deed, in his opinion, congress cannot |
prevent a president from submitting |
a budget. 1T Is quite within his |
duty and power to have prepared, |
and to submit to congress and to the |
country. statement of resources,
revenues, expenditures,
and estimates, in the form he deems
advisable. And this power pro
pose to exercise" The presidents |
position in this is courageous and
wise.-Outlook.
