has for been the stronghold of Republican, the
Republican electors and the Republican candidate for
governor took poor fourth place. Roosevelt carried the
county Debs second Wilson third and Taft poor
fourth Had it not been that the Progressves had leg
sative county ticket in the field the Socialists and Pro-
gressves would have carried votes for the state and
county tickets than did either the Democrats Repub

only $50 votes to 1914 for Coblan 958 for Hawey and

A LESSON FOR BOISE KNOCKERS.

The city of Spokane gave the harping critics of COM
mission government something to think about the other
day Those critics and opponents Of popular rule in Spo-
kane Just in Boise and elsewhere kept up their harp
ing and their criticism until finally election was
called to amend the commission government charter as
in effect annu the commission principles. The election
fought with all the money and with all the v1gor that
the opponents of self always display in their
abors in behalf of that government which they
always prefer the known and open government which
results from popular government. But when the votes
were counted it found that the commission charter
5000 votes out of total Of less than 10000.
Not strangely at ALL the greatest vote received by the
opponents OF commission government came IRON the
downtown districts where centered the saloons the
edght districts and the element which always stands so
close to the rulers the government In the resi-
Dental districts the vote to retain the commission char
ter Just it is practically unanimous.
Spokane has frequently of late been held to us here
in our own town failure under commission govern
and being city where the people crying for
relief The newspapers OF that city and all the substantial
leaders in the civic life of the city told the stateen;
devotedly the truth chung ton view of the
comparison beg the pardon of Truth for having placed
her in such compromising company.
But now the people have spoken and they have de-
clared in unfang and unstakabe terms that they pre-
fer the commission government 1t would seem that such
something And in fact it does teach HONEST people
very much.
Nobody claims commission government is perfect
The only claim for it is that is improvement old
methods 1t has demonstrated every day, right here in
Boise that this claim is true in spite OF every obstacle
thrown in its by enemies OF the people and paid adj
vocates of special privilege
Commission government has come to stay in Boise and
it will be administered modified and strengthened its
friends may determine necessary and advisable.

unless be found for appealing to the SUI
pree court to deprive them of their rghand thus at
the next primary election there promises be four parties
before the people asking them to choose candidates for
such parties.
With four parties in the field each possessing approx
matey equal strength the Socialists may be expected to
win county offices and representation in the next
legislature from Of the counties notably Bonner
ShoshOne and Kootenai counties in all of which they this
year cast very large vote.
The conduct of affairs under the old Re-
publican party fast driving the voters to Socialism
for relief The only party which will be able to stem this
tide is the Progressive party and the harder the fight Of
manipulation and control of the comfortable vote of
gressives the more rapid will be the growth Of the So
cialist party
Already that party has been able to elect mayors and
councen This year they have close second to the
Progressive party in Bonner and close up to the two old
parties in Shoshone and Kootena counties at least and it
would not be surprising if in the spring elections in the
ces and towns they should make other gains and at the
general election two years from now they should be
in eecng county and legislative candidates in
the state. ~
With the Republican party successful in the state by
virtue of solid vote in the south
east and with the Democratic party in control in the
|tion and with the Republican party irrevocaby allied
with the special interests and with the danger that the
Democratic party will be found likewise allied with them
in the nation before the close Of the Wilson adminstra
ton is likely that the Socialist vote will again increase
leaps and bounds unless the Progressive party shall be
given the power to carry out it's program Of social and
civic justice.

PRESS COMMENT
Joseph F. Smith for Wee Prssidsnt7
(Lewiston Tribune).

.
The suggestion occurring today in
the Boise correspondence OF the Trib-
une that Mormondom be awarded the
vacant vice presidential nomination OF
the Republican party, because OF FUR
nishing the only states giving that par
ty electoral votes In the 1912 election,
has more or less relevancy. Vermont.
it Is pointed out. Is the birthplace Of
the first prophet. Utah Is the see and
Idaho the handmaiden of the church,
and their solidarity and distinctive
ness at the ballot box might well earn
the proposed recognition, except for an
estoppal by reason Of previous COM
mitment. Also. under the circum-
stances, the honor is also too empty
and undignified to now be the subject
OF disputation or demand. There Is, OF
course, only one position more exalt-
ed In this nation. In titular sense,
but none now, in the exigencies of the
case, of less Importance. Therefore in
stead of coming to Idaho-Utah we
hope the previously expressed prefer
ences Of the national committee for
Governor Hadley of Missouri will be
carried out: he IL our candidate, even
against home talent-not for the vice
presidency but for the Republican NOM
ination for the. vice presidency. Moth
ing else than his nomination for the
vice presidency on a defunct ticket
can make a fitting and condign eli
max to the course that has marked the
progress of this gentleman since last
June, when he was so highly esteemed
and evidently Is yet by the expert
managers Of the Republican fortunes.
Starting out as noisy and intern
perate villifier of President Taft. bas-
| ing his denunciations on the charge
that the president was the leader OF a
bold and interruptions band Of con-
spirators and political buccaneers,
Governor Hadley fell before their Sue
cessful Vaccinations and then became
a neutral, too nice and smooth to go
with one side or the other Then came
his impudent demand that the presi-
dent should announce his adherence to
a system that would make similar So
called thefts impossible In the future
as the price of his support, and the
presidents rejoinder that he had made
such announcement long before Had
Hey himself had done so, but this
served the purpose and enabled such
support to be nagnanimously accord
ed. Strange to relate, however. even
this brilliant and puissant alliance
failed to PROSTATE the country at its
feet, and Hadley himself has fallen at
the bottom Of the heap In the poll of
his own state. Unless he is rescued
from there and nominated for the va
cancy in point. things will fall out at
something less than the exactitude OF
poetic Justice. Incidentally 1t would
not be surprising IL the superstition
that the Republican party contains
about all the political wisdom that is
| worth all the political wisdom that is
worth having should prove about as
substantial as other superstitions--
good as long as people can be cajoled
into believing them and as idle as a
mid summers dream when put to the
test.

Church Didn't Interfere.
(Deseret News)

Our Boise correspondent sends word
that some of the citizens of Idaho are
up in arms because the election went
against them, and that they are consid-
ering what steps they can take by way
of vengeance upon the members Of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day
Saints who voted the Republican tick
ct. They do not even seem to think it
necessary to wait for the final result
before doing something.
One of the suggestions made is that
the governor appoint ex-senator Du-
bois to the vacant chair in the United
States senate.
This strikes us as rather puerile
suggestion. Mr.. Dubois has not the
general support of the people of the
west that would make him an accept
able representative In the United States
senate Of a great state But while hts
appointment certainly would be dis
appointment to the state, we fail to
understand how II could In any man
ner concern the church, or the church
members.
The charge in Idaho now Is church
Interference. But no particular In
stance Is given, and none can be al
legged reasonably, much less proved.
From what we can gather, the crime
OF the Latter-day Saints in Idaho was
that they voted their conviction. Have
they, then, not the right of other
American citizens to vote as they
please? If there was any church in
reference with their vote. we would
be among the first to denounce 1t, for
the church does not believe in the cur
tilment of the freedom Of citizens by
or church officials.
Church interference in politics has
become one Of the canards that is al
ways floating about and taken a shot
at whenever convenient. People just
love that canard. There are others.
We remember one crediting a promi-
nent professor with the statement that
men ought to be killed at the age of
CO. He promptly denied the allegation,
but the canard lives on and few re-
member the denial. Another canard
lives and flourishes even in some scien-
tific publications. 1t is to the effect
that there IL a steel eating worm which
feeds on railroad ties. This wonderful
creature was made out OF rubber az a
practical joke by members Of Ger
man club organised for folly, frivolity,
and conviviality." An editor was i'm
posed upon by the jokers. He published
an account Of the worm In 1856. and u
has lived ever since. The stories about
church interference in politics 10 of q
similar kind. It 10 one OF the inven-
lions that will have to live until II
meets with death Of old are.

states the exact attitude we take to-
ward West Virginia, Maryland and
the Northern states, and believe in
taking that attitude we shall natural
~ and spontaneously see from the
Southern states a repetition of the
conditions in the Northern states.
The white man who asks to make
the Negro discontented with the ac-
tion we have taken is a worse foe
OF the black race. We are standing
against the brutality of Democracy
and the hypocrisy of the Republi-
cans.
We are beginning by taking steps
of justice toward the Negro of our
own states. We are setting the
standard in semi-Southern states
like West Virginia. We can have
2 reasonable hope that our brethren
in the South, when we no longer
attempt to drive them, when it Is a
matter of honorable obligation with
them as with us, will meet us in this
effort"

Was Defaulting Cashier
of True RefOrmerS.
Located in Memphis After Years
search-Five Indictments Await
Him in Richmond Circulars
Sent All over Country
$1,000 Reward offered for
His Capture - Rich
mond in Frenzy.

There was quite CONSERVATION
among True Reformers and citizens
of Richmond on last Tuesday when
it was announced that a telegram
had been received at Police Head
quarters informing the authorities
that Reuben T. Hill, the defaulting
cashier of the Savings Bank of the
Grand Fountain, United Order of
True Reformers had been arrested
in Memphis, Tenn.
Five indictments for grand lar
ceny have been standing against the
defaulting cashier since the session
of the grand jury of May, 1911.
Two of the indictments are for
$500 each; one for $740; one for 5000
and one for $500, a total of $2.440.
Many more indictments could have
been voted against the cashier, but
the grand jury decided to select five
cases, in which the evidence against
him was clear and virtually insured
conviction.
The capture is the result of an un-
firing search of more than year in
stituted by Captain of Detectives, T.
G. Mcmahon, who made up a mail
ing list and covered almost the en-
tire United States with circulars
containing his description and pic
ture. 1t was with the aid of one of
these that he was captured.
The telegram to the Police Depart
ment was from Private Detective H.
H. Simmons, of Memphis, Tenn. He
was instructed by Chief Werner to
deliver the prisoner in Richmond
and receive the reward of $4,000 and
mileage from the Grand Fountain

was thought that he was on his way
to the city with hts prisoner until
Thursday, when a telegram was re-
ceived from ]. ]. Johnson, Chief of
