What is there against Fowler?'
Roosevelt asked in conclusion.
Mr Hartman replied, January 80:
My information is to the effec
that Mr.. Fowler is very strone
partisan to the Santa Fe," and he
expressed the belief that 4. w. Wells
of Prescott was IAN able and fail
man."
las | said before, l have no candi-
date to urge" Mr.. Hartman added
but l trust you will not appoint Mr.
Fowler. l would like to talk TO you
on the telephone about this"
President Roosevelt replied the
next day, January 81, that it would
be very unpleasant" for him, with
Mr. Morton in my cabinet, to say
that he had rejected Mr.. Fowler,
merely because | heard he was a
strong Santa Fe man. unless there
was some specific objection to him. :"
Il need hardly tell you" the presi
dent added, that if appoint him,

just as ] would twist it if
iound he was discriminating against
my railroad. How would it do fol
ne to write to him this in practically
hese words?"
Mr. Hartman again protested
against Mr. Fowler's appointment
saying his railroad interests did no
believe they would get a square deai

contained no further reply from Mr.
Roosevelt.
Hartman won his point.

MARK TWAIN ON ROOSEVELT.

The New York Times prints the fol-
lowing from a correspondent:
Il quote below from a letter writ
ten by Mark Twain two days after Col
onel Roosevelt left the presidential
office The original is held by Walter
Bliss. Hartford. Conn The article was
first printed in the catalogue OF
Mark Twain's Library. 1t seems very
apropos to the present situation:
March G, 1905. Astronomers assure
us that the attraction of gravitation
on the surface of the sun is twenty
eight times as powerful as is the force
1T the earth surface, and that the OBJ
ject which weighs 217 pounds else
where would weigh 5000 pounds there.
For seven years this country has
lain smolhering under a burden like
that the incubus representing, in the
person of President Roosevelt the diff
ference between 217 pounds and 5000.
Thanks be. we got rid of this disas
trous burden day before yesterday, at
last. Forever? Probably net. Prob
ably for only brief breathing SPELL
wherein, under Mr. Taft we may hope
to get back some of our health-four
years. We may expect to have Mr.
Roosevelt sitting on us again, with his
twenty eight times the weight of any
other presidential burden that hos
tile providence could impose upon us
for our sins
Our people have adored this SNOWY
charlatan as perhaps no imposter OF
his brood has been adored since the
Golden Calf. so it is to be expected
that the nation will want him back
after he is done hunting other wild
animals heroically in Africa, with the
safeguard and advertising equipment

ENDORSEMENT OF COMPRESSION
AL DELEGATION.

We heartily endorse the effort made
by the Republican members in Con-
gress to secure constructive RepuDli-
can legislation. and to prevent the en-
actment into law of destructive Demo-
cratic policies and we commend to the
people of Idaho such able assistance as
has been rendered in this convention
by our delegation in Congress, Sena-
tors Hepburn and Borah and Repre-
sentative French. We especially COM
mend to the voters of Idaho the brill
liant and constructive craftsmanship
shown by Senator Borah as evidenced
by his successful advocacy of such
important questions as the three-year
homestead bill. the direct election of
senators and his work for the estab-
lishment of a bureau of child labor,
and the enactment of other progressive
Republican measures.

OF REVENUE LAWS

We regret and deplore the unwise
policy of the Democratic Governor OF
this State in inaugurating and insist
ing upon full cash value taxation OF
property in the year 1911, before the
necessary changes in our fixed levies
based upon a lower valuation, could be
made. thus causing all the taxpayers
and particularly those of the farming
class, to pay largely increased and I'M
necessary taxes. The present reve-
nue. law, while being an Improvement
in some particulars over the old law, is
still far from being a solution of the
tax problem, and we pledge the Repub-
lican party to further legislation to
correct existing evils.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

Our system of public educational in
situations should be the first concern
of the people of the State. We therefore
pledge the Republican party of this
State to maintain the integrity of these
institutions, aid to support each OF
them in maintenance in growth as fal
as the finances of the State will allow
recognizing that on the growth and de-
velopment of these institutions depends
the upbuilding of the moral and intel
lectual welfare of the youth of Idaho.
And to this end we urge the Legisla-
ture to take up and pass the appropria-
ton bills for all educational and char
liable institutions rs soon after con
Aening as possible, aud before the other
work of the Legislature shall be taken
up.

RATIFICATION OF THE NATIONAL
PLATFORM AND CANDIDATES,

The Republican party of Idaho here
by reaffirms its unfaltering allegiance
to the principles of the Republican
party as exemplified in the splendid
administrations of Presidents McKin-
ley, Roosevelt and Taft We ratify and
endorse the nominations made by our
National Convention at Chicago for
President and Vice President, and the
progressive and constructive platform
If principles there adopted. While rec
ognizing that there existed honest diff
ferences of opinion concerning the
choice of candidates, we feel that the
best interests of our State require the
continuance in power of Republican
National Administration. In this be-
lief, and with confidence in the result,
we pledge to each other and to Repub-
licans everywhere our earnest, ener-
getic and loyal support of William II.
Taft for President, and James S. Sher-
man for Vice President. President
Taft has been a firm and consistent
friend of the West, and particularly of
the State of Idaho, as is shown by his
attitude toward such purely Western
questions as the Borah-Jones three
year homestead bill, the various recla-
nation acts, the restoring to public en-
try of large areas of agricultural land
enormously supposed to be chiefly
mineral in character, and particularly
by his order restoring to the State of
Idaho 100000 acres of it's public school
lands which had been included within
forest reserves and of whose use the
State had been unjustly deprived.
