portant questions arising from this
discussion.
Probably no man who has such a
short career in the United States
Senate has made a more favorable
impression and won wider circle
!of friends than did Senator Perky
who has just returned to Idaho. 1t
is the general understanding here
that the incoming administration
will depend on him for advice re-
garding the distribution of patron
age in Idaho. The Senator is on
particularly friendly terms with
| those Senators who are recognized as
being close friends of President elect
Wilson.
Senator Perky had the good for
tune to spend several hours with the
incoming President at his home at
Trenton, N. j., few weeks ago,
when it is belived the political af-
fairs of Idaho were discussed in de-
tail.
Senator Brady has presented to
he Senate memorial of the Idaho
State Legislature, urging amend
nents to the three-year Homestead
law, making it applicable to the tim
Der and grazing sections.

Too many suitors was the trouble
with Juanita. She found herself
sought after by so many men that
she became terrified. Miss Lnnd is

wrote letter to the postmaster at
Boise asking for "a nice young
man about % years Of age. Object

densely populated with nice young
men of 20. Anyway Juanita's mail
soon became a burden to the carrier
who operates in her district.

SOME STATE POLITICS.

Statements are current now days
that the Republican party will or will
not be strong working body in the
Eincoln Day Banquet at Boise last
state in the campaign of 1914, and
taking the observations made at the
week as basis for measusing the
depth of the Bull Moose sentiment
it must be said that the party appears
to be in greater harmony and unity
now than it was for long time prior
to the campaign of 1912, and certain
ly not to be compared with its con-
dition on Lincoln's birthday of that
year.
The several speakers of the even
ing directed their remarks right in
to the wounded bosom of the party.
and If any old sores were there, no.
body WINGED or displayed anything
but royal good nature at what they
had gone through in the past year.
The most gratifying thing about it
all was this perfectly frank matter
of-fact way of going straight into the
most doubtful questions affecting
the party unity, and the way the
speakers acknowledged the mistakes
and lessons of the year. The high
clean plane on which the campaign
was conducted, the good condition
of the party organization and the
hearty satisfaction expressed relative
to the men who managed the fight
and the finances, all point to unity
with strength backing the decision.
The Bull Moose.
The Bull Moose organization of
the state selected Pocatello as the
place for celebrating Lincoln's birth
day, and they admit that in point Of
numbers the banquet was not we'll
attended However. their chairman
expressed satisfaction with the spir-
it of the occasion, and Charlie Brox-
on, the principal speaker, gave a
lengthy and interesting discourse on
the judiciary under our scheme of
government. He showed that the
least restraint was placed upon this
department of the government when
the constitution was adopted, and
that amendments had been made as
the necessity arose, until d dozen had
been recorded curtailing the courts.
He showed that during great nation
al agitations like that following the
fight on the bank of the United
States and the bred Scott decision,
the people of the nation had exercis-
ed the right and the effect Of recall
Of decisions, the first when Jackson
had appealed to the people to sup
port him against the decision of the
judiciary on the bank question and
they did it, and in the other case
when they ele ted Line; In who did
not endorse the bred Scott decision.
Mr.. Broxon's summing up of the
mission of the Progressives is three
things: Making it easier to amend
the constitution; permitting the re-
call of judicial decisions; permitting
the recall of judges.

Senator Brady is fortunate in hav-
ing reached Washington in time to
hear the debates on the Connecticut
river dam bill which involves the fed
eral control of dam sites in navigable
rivers. This is one of the most i'm
.portant questions that has been up
for consideration for great many
years and there is raid Of the best
talent on either side of the contro-
versy. Senator Borah made an ex-
haustive speech in opposition to the
bill contending that the National
Government has no right in stream
except to protect navigation. By
reason of Senator Bradys long ex-
perience in irrigation and water
right problems, he is able to give
practical application of the present
laws with reference to these matters.
many of the Eastern Senators have
conferred with him in regard to i'm

Progressive campaign last fall. The
Colonel insists that the progressives
will not unite with either of the old
parties. He said, I'VE believe that
in each of these parties, however
there are hundreds of thousands of
good honest men and women, who
ARE progressives. The only place for
them Is in our party. We will well
come them in, and we will treat them
on an exact equality with ourselves,
paying not the slightest heed to
whether they are former Republicans
or former Democrats.
Representative French has just re-
ceived a letter from Hon. Samuel
Adams, first assistant secretary of
the Interior which is of special in
terest to Idaho in connection with
the matter of exchanging lands own
ed by the state included within Ma
tional forest Reservations for other
public lands.
For several years it was a noted
question whether or not with out
special legislation, the secretary Of
the Interior was authorized to make
these exchanges. The department
finally decided that it had such au-
thorization under existing law and
accordingly exchanged with the
State of Idaho about 100000 acres of
land. 1t is altogether probable that
the State of Idaho will desire that
other large tracts be exchanged. A
bill passed the Senate on August Is
1912, specifically authorizing ex-
changes of this character. Senator
Hepburn, however, opposed the idea
of including Idaho in the bill and up
on his motion there was inserted the
words, provided, that the provis-
ions of this act shall not apply to
the State of Idaho
The bill is now before the house
of representatives and the Interior
Department is confronted with the
question as to whether or not these
exchanges could be made in Idaho in
the future, providing the bill passes
with the specific provision that Ida
no shall be exempted from the bill:
The Department raises the question
that the Congress has felt that au
thority for any exchanges has not
heretofore existed and should the bill
pass with the provision exempting
Idaho from the bill included with
in the measure, whether or not the
legislation would not be tantamount
to denying Idaho and the Govern
ment the right to make exchanges of
this class of lands. Representative
French believes that there is no nec-
essity for the passage of the law on
account of the decisions of the De-
partment heretofore made, but con-
ours with the department in the idea
that if the law shall be palsed Idaho
shall be granted the same rights of
exchange as may be granted to other
states. 49,.

CHAPTER XII.
Joe Tells His story.


-HE inquest was held late Satur-
day afternoon in the bleak Nv
jng-room of the Mcbride house.
The coroner had explained the man
ner in which the murdered man had
come to his death. and as he flnished
ne turned to Moxlow. The prose-
cutting attorney shifted his position
slightly, thrust out his long legs
toward the wood stove and buried his
hands deep in his trousers pockets,
then he addressed the jury
They were there, he told them. to
listen to certain facts that bore on
the death of Archibald Mcbride IL.
after hearing these facts, they could
say they pointed to any person or
persons as being implicated in the
murder, they were to name the person
or persons. and he would see that
thew were brought before the grand
iury for indictment. They were to
bear in mind, however, that no one
was on trial. and that no one was
accused of the crime about to be IN
yestigated. yet they must not forget
that a cold blooded murder had been
committed; human hands had raised
the weapon that had crushed out
the life of the old merchant
human intelligence had made
choice of the day and hour and mo-
ment for that brutal deed; the possi-
bility of escape had been nicely cal
culated, nothing had been left to
chance He would venture the asser-
ton that if the murderer were ever
found he would prove to be no. ordi-
nary criminal.
All this Moxlow said with judicial
deliberation and with the lawyers
careful qualifying of word and phrase.
