The appointment of Judge Bulge TO
the supreme bench by Governor Haines
has occasioned considerable comment
throughout the state. both favorable
and adverse. The Caldwell Tribune.
which poses as a anti Mormon publica-
ton, says 1t Is the best appointment
the governor has yet made. and classes
Judge Bulge as lone Of the fairest,
most able and conscientious jurists in
the state The weiser Signal, another
Republican paper, while lauding Judge
Bulge as AN elegant gentleman and
an able jurist,'' and the man the Sig
nal supported two years ago against
Stewart, IL considers that his appoint
ment at this time ''savors entirely too
strongly of a fufillment of the al
legged primary agreement of which
there was so much talk at the time, ~
and showed too clearly a disposition on
the part of Gov. Haines to side-track
Judge Walters for the purpose of car
rying out that agreement notwith-
standing the fact according to all rules
of the political game, Walters was en-
titled to the appointment" The Globe
believes that Judge Bulge has fine
record as jurist and a gentleman
as any judge in the state, and 1t sup
ported him two years ago for the su-
preme bench Notwithstanding his posi-
ton in the Mormon church, believing
that he was the best timber offered,
but 1t inclines pretty strongly to the
view that Gov. Haines, by appointing
Judge Bulge at this time, has confirm
ed the opinion held by the public, that
he has been dominated and controlled
by the leaders of the church more than
any man can allow himself to be and
yet be fair with the other churches
which do not engage in politics as or
ganizations and with the public in gem
eral. The legality of Judge Budge's APP
pontment is being tried out in the SUI
preme court this week in a friendly
suit

FOR THE WILSON SUCCESSION.

Having emerged from the white house
with the benign recollection of the
Wilson reconciliation among his most
blessed treasures, Colonel Henry Wat

From state of profound pessimism as
TO the future of the country under
Schoolmaster Wilson he is convinced
that great man now occupies the
white house, and there will be nothing
but sweeping Democratic victory two

CourierJ Journal:
The Courier Journal gives 1t to
the Republicans straight that they
have no chance of electing a pres
ident in 1916 In the first place.
unless they take Penrose and Can
non, they lack nominees of the

yet an unknown quantity, unfamil-

things in shape fer 1920 IL would
show the valor of conviction.
OF course, the colonel offers the Pen
rose and Cannon suggestion with a
sneer; but let us suppose that it will
be PenTose and Cannon. Whom will
the Democrats put up against him?
Not Wilson and Marshall. for they ran
on a platform piedging them to sin

Why not Colonel Watterson and Col
onel George Harvey? To be sure Col
onel Watterson is only "A, While Mr..
Cannon has reached the great age of

be 76 and quite old enough to be a
worthy foe to Mr.. Cannon, who win
then be so. 1t would be a battle of
the reactionary giants.
We rather fancy Woodrow Wilson
would be pleased to have Colonel Wat

LAUps NEW AUDITOR.

Sheriff Eimers was a Kooskia visitor
Sunday. Since his last visit here Mr.
Eimers has been nominated and elect
ed to the office OF clerk of the district
court and ex-officer auditor and record
er. The duties of the sheriff's office
made campaigning a practical impos-
sibility for him but he was elected any
how. Speaking of his new position Mr.
Eimers stated to the Mountaineer that
he would conduct himself in this office
just the same as he has in the sheriff s
office. That he would do his duty, treat
all alike and deliver the goods for the
taxpayers. If he does this his work
win be satisfactory to all factions
His absolute impartiality in the sheriff s
office gained for him many votes from
the members Of all parties. Enough.
In fact, TO elect him.-Kooskia Noun

BoRAH AS A PREsI DENTAL
CANnlDATE

Washing ton. ID. CO Post: Former
Gov. Warmoth, of Louisiana. expresses
the opinion that Senator william Il.
Borah. of Idaho. will be nominated for
president by the Republicans in 1916.
and will be elected
That is opinion that is shared
by many leaders of the Republican par
~ in the east. west and south.
Few of the younger men In the Re
publican party have made such a deep
impression upon the pub lic mind as
that made by the senator from Idaho.
He has grown constantly and rapidly
In public estimation as statesman
of clear foresight. equable tempera
ment. decided moral courage, and ad-
mirable ability His course in the
senate marked him from the first as
a superior legislator His gifts are
happily combined, making him In
many respects the most suitable candi-
date that the Republican party could
select.
Mr.. Borah is a native OF Illinois, and
was educated in his native state and
Kansas No man has ever been elect
ed to the presidency from a state
west of the Mississippi river. but
tlds is a time when prec edents go by
the board, and 1t would be advan
tageous to the country for many rea-
sons If q western man were In the
white house. With a training In the
middle west and in the far west Mr..
Borah reflects the temper of the great
region which Is becoming more and
more the backbone of the nation. He
combines the progressiveness of the
west with the steadiness of the east.
His admirers include both branches
of the Republican party.
In intellectual ability and moral
strength the Republican party would
have in Sneator Borah an exceeding
ly formidable candidate. and it would
not be at all surprising II Gov. War
moths sugg estion were approved by
the rank and file of the party.

The Globe believes in the economic
administration of public affairs and
makes no exception of our state gov
eminent While we have criticized a
number of the public utterances and
pledges made by Moses Alexander dur
ing the election times, we did so be-
cause we honestly believed the prom
fses were out of all reason and i'm
possible of execution. We stated when
Mr.. Alexander first came out for Of
flee and in his speeches said that he
would cut the expenses of administer
ing the states business fright In two"
II the people would elect him to the
office and put him in position to do
so, that II Mr.. Alexander would secure
the people in this statement that the
Globe would support him. He did not
do that, however, but still he continued
reiterating that promise all through his
campaign. We do not believe yet that
he can come in a mile of covering the
ground of economy as governor that
he did as a candidate, but the Globe
Is ready to show that it's heart is right
ON this question of cutting down ex-
penses, and will stand by Mr.. Alex
ander in any move for economy that
does not tend to impair the service
sought, and to injure the public and
credit and standing of our state. Go
to 1t Moses. and we are with you!

There is so much disapproval ex-
pressed over our present direct pri-
mary law that there is great danger
of an effort being made to revert to
the old convention system, which would
surely be a serious blunder
1t is plain that a general interest
in elections cannot be maintained with
out strong party organizations and
that we cannot have such organiza-
lions with the present law. Strong
party loyalty cannot be given to a
ticket in the nomination of which the
party had no controlling power and no
power to correct an unwise or improper
nomination without imperiling the whole
ticket. In the last election Allen was
placed on the ticket because the OPP
position to him was divided between
three candidates making 1t simple
matter for him. with his knowledge of
the field and his intense desire to win,
but he never could have succeeded be-
fore convention of his party organ
lied to select state officers
We surely can frame a law that will
enable us to have strong party organ
izations again that are truly represent
alive and free from boss rule and, at
the same time, to retain the good fea-
lures of the direct primary. We need
the disciplinary power of party and the
interest aroused by party loyalty and
thus gain in quality of public servants
chosen for our higher offices by having
the office seek the man with the hon
or of being the choice of his party
which most men would prize as highly
as election itself.-Boise Statesman.

DOWN WITH THE DANCE.

Our new Moses wishes II understood
that he does not look with favor on
the idea of having an inaugural ball
as he claims he was elected by the
plain people and intmates that the
people who did not vote for him are
of the class that attend the ball COW
cred with Velvet and Verrnin'
He Is surely well within his right to
taboo the dance. but he has no right
to Intimate that he was elected by any
class in Idaho, as there is no such
thing. We are all plain people and in
every district, In every neighborhood
the people voted Dor both Haines and
Alexander In varying proportions.
Allen elected Alexander and, taking
that in consideration. it is perhaps
just as well to cut out the celebra-
ton.
Alexander was elected governor of
Idaho a state with population of
plain, common people and he has no
right TO talk class and attempt to
create class feeling that fortunately
has no place In Idaho.-Statesman.

The public utilities commission, by
its electric power and light ruling some
time ago in south Idaho, in which II
barred competing lines from entering
into Twin Falls and PocateHo while al
lowing them to compete in Boise, has
done much to place itself under a
cloud and make the public lpok upon
1t with disfavor. It's reaffitming of
that decision since the election has
not tended to dispeH the doubt and

mind. When its ruling was questioned

IDAHO COUNTY FORESTS AND
REVENUES

State Auditor Huston has apportion-
ed to the various counties of the
state each countys share of the earn
ings Of forest reserves within the
state which is turned over to the state
by the federal government at Washing
ton. This money. by the terms of the
act under which the distribution Is
made, must be used by the counties
for school purposes or road building
II Is distributed to the counties not
in proportion to the amount of forest
reserve each county contains but ac-
cording to the earnings through graz
Ing and timber sales. 1t may be well
10 mention, in passing, that Idaho coun-
ty has more forest reserve area twice
over, than any other county in the
state yet she Is surpassed in earnings
by both Bonner and Shoshone, they re-
ceiving respectively $12. S09.19 and So
694.T. while Idaho gets but S4.4 "a.
This Is due to the fact that Idaho
county's receipts come principally from
grazing revenues, the forests stin ly-
ing intact and almost without earnings,
while the other two counties are now
utilizing their timber sales In incceas-
ing their revenues. In years to come
these conditions win be reversed, when
decent roads are built Through the,
governments holdings and Idaho coun-
ty with it's 4,91O,075 acres of forest
and grazing lands begins to turn it's
timber into cash anu it's grazing lands
bring In their increasing returns, then
we VIII have source OF unfailing rev.
enue. This hope for the future Is
what makes the present unjust condi-
lions tolerable. Twenty four of the
thirty-thre counties din the state
have government forests, and are, to
certain degree, similarly situated to
Idaho county. The vast area of gov
eminent forests within our boundaries
has been OF great detriment to our coun-
ty in more ways than one, and has
furnished the stock argument In favor
of county division in every contest
that has arisen, the vastness OF the
county, taken in acreage, being used
to show that there was area enough
to make a number of counties larger
than some that now exist. The area
is there all right. but the county has
no control over 1t otherwise than to
police 1t and as far as possible main
tain order in 1t. and three fourths of
1t is uninhabited and almost unmhab-
liable at the present time; and only
rs per cent of the revenues derived
therefrom goes into THE county till,
and that has strings on 1T. Practically
all OF three large forests are in Idaho
county and portions of two others. with
acreage and revenues as follows:
