Governor Wilson's speech Of

It is in the English language,
not anaemic and seldom with
suspicion of priggishness or don

certain academic distinction
of its own. What will please
everybody who has a living to

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.

Hon. Addison T. Smith has an
nounced himself a candidate for the
Republican nomination for representa-
tive in Congress. We do not know
whether this clouds or clarifles the
situation. 1t was understood that Tor
mer Governor Brady and Mr. Smith
had come to an agreement that II the
one were a candidate the other would
not be. It may be assumed now that
Mr.. Brady will devote his entire time
and talents to business for some
years. To date Col. Thos. r. Hamer
has not stated his intentions in re-
gard to the nomination. Neither has
former Governor John 7. Morrison
who is mentioned from time to time.
In order that the fight may be warm
The Tribune would like to see two
southern Idaho candidates. We are
like a Democrat in that we abhor
a harmony. Nothing new has devel-
oped in the north in regard to this
office. Hon. Chas. w. Beale and Hon.
Burton L. French are the candidates
from that section. The Tribune's
Boise dopester on affairs political
writes us that Mr.. French is schedul-
ed to be sealped. The industries that
have enjoyed measure of protection
and consequently fourished under Re-
publican administrations feel that Mr..
French has shown an inclination to
take up with tariff reductions on Ida
no products on Idaho products. The
sheepmen, timber men, sugar beet
men, lead men, and growers of wheat,
barley, etc. in north Idaho, are willing
to take up the cudgel for the purpose
of knocking Mr.. French.
In speaking of Mr.. Smith we can
say that he is very good man. He
is clean, able and thorough. The fol-
lowing short biographical sketch OF
Mr.. Smith will be interesting to Tri-
bune readers.
For over twenty years he has been
identified with the Idaho delegation
in Congress, having been selected by
the late Senator Shoup as his secre
tary in 1891, shortly after the state

administration teeming with con-
structive accomplishment. The head
of the administration is man enjoy
ing public confidence and respect. He
has made an honest effort to carry
out the platform on which he was
elected. Without Boosting, preaching
or vilifying President Taft has really
accomplished things to the advantage
of the people of this country in legis-
lation as we'll as in administration He
has stood for the enforcement OF the
law; has demanded that the integrity
of the courts be respected; has stood
like a rock against fanatical fads and
isms but ever mindful of true pro-
gress: has secured needed legislation
from Congress; has outlined reforms
of the greatest moment to be accom-
plished in the future; has saved mil
lions of dollars for the people in the
operation of the different govern
mental departments; and has at once
and at all times been the president of
the entire country. Not hint of
scandal or corruption has been aimed
at the Taft administration. Yet with
all this progress and more assured
he still remains a Republican ready to
advance the interests of his party and
promote the welfare of his country
Do Republicans want to keep such
a man at the head of the government
for another term? or do they want to
repudiate an administration that has
been the most progressive in the his
tory of the country? Do they want
to substitute for the safe and sane
and sober Taft the wild, unstable and
destructive Roosevelt? Do they
want to change a man of soundness,
judgment and courage, for a tickle
politician grasping at every straw
that might further his ambition? The
issue is squarely up to the Republi-
cans. There is no lodging it. You
cannot endorse the Taft administra-
ton and nominate Roosevelt Do you
want to repudiate the present admin
istration? do you want to destroy
the Republican party?

Panama canal. Our representatives
drew up treaty, under which
the United States was to pay
the company and secure rights in the
canal strip needed to perfect its title.
Either Government had right to re-
ject the treaty. 1t was naturally rati-
fed by the United States, but Colon
bia finally rejected it because it had
no power to surrender sovereignty
over the strip without some amend
ment to its constitution. Colombia
was absolutely within her rights.
And all this from the man who
would be considered the foremost
apostle of human rights against prop
erty rights" Had the people of a
weak and defenceless nation-one that
had right to expect at least fair play
from her powerful and prosperous
neighbor-had they do rights? Col
Roosevelt leaves us the definition of
human rights as warm human de-
sire for something we have the power
to grab by superior brute force. These
rights may be human, but they are not
humane, nor are such principles
American or Christian.
These are facts, not campaign re-
ordinations. The American people
had full opportunity to acquaint them
selves with them.
The West has no canal zone, but it
has great resources and important in
dustries and wants no Pinchot, Gar
field or Roosevelt with human rights"
to despoil her.

was admitted into the Union, which
position he held until the senator's
retirement from the senate in 1901.
During the following two years he
remained in Washington at the sena-
tors request to represent him as Re-
publican National Committeeman for
Idaho in the disp position of federal ar-
nointments, the state being then rep
resented by two Democratic senators
and a Democratic congressman. On
the election of Senator Hepburn, Mr..
Smith was rendered and accepted the
position of secretary, which he has
held continuously, excepting tor one
wear when he was register OF the Uni
ted States land Office at Boise. By
reason of his long connection with
Idaho affairs at the nations capital
he has become very familiar with the
legislative needs of the state, as we'll
as with the executive departments
and the political machinery of the
government.
His service to the party organiza-
ton in the state began during the cam
| paign of 1900. when he served as as
sistant treasurer of the Republican
State Central Committee, having
charge of the settlement and payment
of the expenses incurred by the COM
mittee. During the campaign of 1902
he was secretary to the vice chair
man, and disposed of much of the
correspondence of the committee. In
1904 he was selected as secretary of
the State Central Committee, and held
the position during the four succeed
ing campaigns, rendering splendid
service to the party. AS his duties at
Washington prevented him from long
er giving the position of secretary of
the committee the attention it requir-
ed he resigned during the last sum-
mer, and his resignation was accepted
by the committee at its meeting at
Boise on September 10th, 1911, after
vote of thanks had been rendered
him for his long and efficient service.
When the state legislature during
the session of 1907 enacted law pro-
viding for the erection of marble
statue of the late Senator Shoup in
Statuary Hall of the nations capitol,
Mr.. Smith was honered with the po-
sition of secretary of the Statue COM
mission authorized by the state law,
and aided the sculptor materially by
suggestions as to the details of the
| work.

farm in eastern Ohio and was edu-
gated in the public schools. He is

FRANK I. SMITH.

The people of Caldwell were greatly
shocked to hear of the death of Judge
Frank J. Smith at San Diego, Cal,
although he had been in poor health
for many months. People generally
did not realize the seriousness of his
condition.
Judge Smith had made his home in
Caldwell for about twenty years. He
had been prominent in his profession,
in business and in politics. He was
county attorney for many years and
was afterwards appointed judge of
the district court of the Seventh dis
trict when it was organized. AS a
man, lawyer and public official he was
highly respected and justly esteemed.
AS district judge he became known
by reputation throughout the country.
1t was before him that Orchard, Hay
wood, Meyer and Pettibone were ar
raigned. He was not elected district
Judge at the next general election be-
cause of the fight made against hin,
by the Socialists and others interested
in the defence of the assassins of for
mer Governor Frank Steunenberg. In
consequence the Western Federation
of Miners cases were not tried before
him. However as district judge he
refused to grant the indicted men a
change of venue and threats were
made against him. At that time he
received thousands of threatening let
tiers. He showed the courage of his
convictions throughout those trying
months. In fact he exhibited calm
and fearlessness that UNNECESSARILY
raised him in the eyes of the entire
country.
Judge Smith was greatly respected
in Caldwell and throughout Idaho. He
had been mentioned many times for
high positions. He had no great apti-
tude for politics and after retiring
from the bench devoted himself to the
practice of his profession. AS law
yer he ranked high, and together with
his pardner, Mr.. R. B. Scatterday,
built up an immense law practice. He
was a genial, wholesouled man, and
will be kindly remembered for years
by thousands of friends. He was pub
lie spirited, freely giving of his time
and money to business of a public
nature.
