THE BAcK-FIRE ON PENCE

Rendered desperate by the over
whelming assurances of Republican
victory on November third, the Demo
cratic state committee at Boise yes
terday, on the very eve of the grea
election, perpetrated an act which TO
perfidy and low politics has never beer
equalled in the state of Idaho ant
which good and decent Democrats al
over this commonwealth instantly ant
indignantly repudiated. Honorable men
in every party will recoil with a shock
from the disgraceful course taken by
the Democratic state committee in
Boise. The disreputable thrust which
was meant to strike the great Repub-
lican party of Idaho death-blow will
react with doubled fury upon the
Democratic organization.
The distortion of truth, the misrep-
resentation of facts which yesterday
emanated from the Democratic state
chairman's office will be the biggest
boost for Governor Haines and the
Republican administration which they
have ever had. The real Democrats in
Idaho believe in fair play They will
not tolerate the shocking tactics of
men hitherto supposed to be honor
able.
We refer to the contents of the brief
telegram signed by ]. t. Pence, chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee at Boise, and sent out late yester-
day afternoon to the various Demo-
cratic organizations in the state, in
which, three weeks after the original
was written, the contents of letter
from Senator Borah to State Chairman
Day are distorted, misinterpreted. and
put to the base use of giving the utter
ly false impression that Senator Borah
has repudiated the national and state
Republican ticket.
Senator Borah has not repudiated
the state and national Republican tic
ket
Senator Borah will not do so.
There is no conceivable reason for
his doing so.
His three-weeks old letter to State
Chairman Day refers to the now-fa-
nous Allen loan and has no reference
to defalcations in the state treasurer's
office.
At the time Senator Borah wrote the |
letter In question no one knew OF the
defalcations. Allen had not been ar
rested. had not confessed, had not |
been sent to the penitentiary by Gov
ernor Haines's formal charge.
The telegram of Mr.. Pence is base
and desperate struggle to get votes for
the Democratic ticket by garbling and
contemptibly distorting the contents OF
a letter which properly expresses the
strong condemnation of the senator
for misconduct in office and recon-
mends that punishment be visited up
on the doors of wrong, not on scape-
goats.
Subsequent events have demonstra-
ted that the Senator's plea for fear
less probity was in complete accord
with the views and policy OF the state
Republican committee. Swift punish
ment fell upon the guilty official
Nothing was condoned, nothing hush !
ed up or CLOSED over.
At the very earliest moment when |
the proper legal procedure was learn
ed. the state Republican committee t
took off of the ticket the name OF the t
one and only person in any respect
or degree responsible for the condi- }
lions in the state treasurer's office. +
The Republicans have kept faith with !
the people. r
Senator Borah has not repudiated
the ticket g

TOWN HARMONY.

One OF the greatest problems
which every movement for civic ad-
vance has to meet is that of lining
up all elements for team work. Har.
monious cooperation OF all interests
II necessary.
A great many communities are
cursed by petty jealousies. Their
power for mischief affects every
public enterprise. II one man starts
q movement. all the people who do
not like him begin to throw cold wa
ter They make sarcastic remarks
about his project. The result is that
people feel disinclined to take hold
and push for fear lest they make
themselves ridiculous.
1t is difficult to promote public
objects under the most favorable
conditions. The moment that people
let personal feeling enter II. II be-
comes impossible to get unity OF ac-
ton. One set OF people will try
one thing. only to see It fail under a
We, blanket of ironical skepticism.
They feel disgusted. and the next
time any one else starts anything.
they In turn stand back and jeer.
The practical outcome is that every
one feels afraid OF starting any new
movements. for fear OF becoming RI
diculous. II Is easier 10 stand on
one side and make superior remarks
about the poor Judgment Of your
neighbors than to take hold and
push. Civic sentiment dissipates.
and the town growth languishes.
Is there anything Of that spirit
here? Most towns have something
OF II, and some towns have far more
than others: insofar as II exists. peo-
pie should try to get over It, They
must pull together ignoring personal
differences, II they want La Junta to
advance and prosper and who is
there that lives here that does not
have such an ambition for the old
town,

SON OF OWNER OF SECESSION
PAPERS IN kEOKUK LIBRARY
WRITES TO PRES. CRAIG.

Keokuk, March 16.-Further light on
the articles of secession which hang on
the walls of the Keokuk public library,
and over which discussion has been
started, as to whether they are original
or not, is shed by a letter received by
John E, Craig, president of the board,
from DR.. H. M. Workman at Tracy,
Mimi, son of this man who present
ed the articles to the local library.
In his letter to Mr.. Craig, DR.. Work
man says that his father was sent on
an errand by General Sherman which
took him past the state house at
Charleston which was then burning
and which had been looted. He entered
the state house and it is believed then
found the articles.
Some time later, DR.. Workman says
that General Belknap brought con-
federate officer to their house, who
talked to his father concerning the
articles, and who said that he thought
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1914-03-17

they might be the originals. His rea-
son for this is that he was one Of the
last to leave the building and that the
articles were still in the capitol at
the time. The confederate officer, how
ever, believes that the articles were
rolled up at the time.
This would be in conflict with Lieu
tenant Workman's notation on the
articles themselves, as we'll as with the
record of the gift. which is kept in the
library records. ..
DR.. Workman is going to make an
effort to find his father's letter and
see If 1t Is possible to discover the
original story Of their recovery, which
he believes is among the papers Of
Lieut.. Workman, who is now dead. DR..
Workman believes that these original
papers may shed more light on the
controversy.
The notation on the articles says
that they Were taken from the walls Of
the capitol, and the library records
show the same thing.
DR.. Workman has sent copies of his
letter to President John E. Craig of
the Keokuk library board, to Governor
Clarke of Iowa, and Governor Blease
Of South Carolina.

STATE TREASURY
TO Be PROTECTED
MODERN BURGLAR ALARM TO BE
INSTALLED As RESULT OF
RECENT ROBBERY.

Des Moines, March 16.-Thousands
of concealed wires will guard the vault
in the state treasurers Office in the
future. The state executive council
has ordered the installation of burg
lar alarm system on the states strong
box. The American Bank Protection
company Of Minneapolis secured the
contract on a bid Of 81, $50.
The system is made up of innumer-
able wires which are strung about the
vault in such a way that when the
locks are set it is practically impos-
sible for violence to be used without
setting off the alarms. Wires from the
vault will lead to huge gong which
will probably be placed over the doc r
of the state house. This bell is guar.
anteed to sound loud enough to be
be heard a mile. Another circuit will
connect with a gong at the police sta
ton. and a third set of wires will con-
meet with a bell to be placed in the
engine room of the capitol power house
where there are men on duty during
the night.
The plan is such that when any wire
is cut or tempered with in any way, 1t
will set the gongs to ringing, therefore
making it impossible for clever crooks
to suspend the operation of the system,
the manufacturers claim. The network
of wires can be fitted to the old vault
at the state house without difficulty,
it is said.
The Western Union Telegraph com.
pany completed for the contract to in
stall an alarm system. It's plan was a
network Of wires connecting the cap
itol with police headquarters and being
so delicate as to give warning if band
its attacked the vaults.
Another firm proposed to install a
new kind Of safe which by means Of
open work, it was claimed, gave no
backing by which a'charge Of nitro.
g!ycerin or other explosive might work.
l.. Paul, representing the American
h NIX Protection company, assured the
council the system will be installed and
m cooperation within four weeks time.
lie declared that this system is being
used in Chicago and Minneapolis in
ali city and county and government
buildings.
