CIVIL SERvIcE-PRACTiC AND
PROMISE.

Readers sometimes criticise local
papers for making comment upon cur
rent political events; some for the
reason that country editors" are
not supposed to know enough to make
intelligent comment on things which
affect themselves and all others:
some think local paper should have
no political preferences, and If 1t has,
1t should suppress them; some con-
tend that the comments of an editor
who is known to side with one party
or the other will have no weight
with his readers. because they know
before they start to read his COM
ments that he Is prejudiced and can
not be expected to make an honest
and fairminded statement of political
facts. 1t would appear that the last
named reason II true, is a far greater
reflection upon the honesty and in
telligence of the reader than upon
the editor; for the reader Is suppos-
ed to have intelligence enough to read
and judge an article on its merits,
and II 1t conflicts In statement. or
Is illogical, he should turn It down.
II 1t is sensible and reasonable, and
rational, and bears the earmarks
Of truth. he should not allow his own
preconceived political notions to pre-
JUDGE him against the facts, even
though they come from a political OPP

THE AMENDED PRIMARY LAW

Idaho Enterprise: The Capital
News, newspaper published at
Boise, is out with an editorial in
which it claims that a deceptive cam
paign is being waged in various parts
OF the state and particularly in north
Idaho, with the idea of deceiving
voters as to their rights in the next
primary and general elections in the
matter of how their voting may be af-
fected by the primary law as amende
at the last session OF the legislature.
1t states that stories are being sent
out from Boise to the effect that If
member of any party should regis
ter as belonging to that party for the
purpose of voting at the primaries he
VIII be precluded from voting any
thing other than his party ticket at
the general election following the pri-
maries.
The editorial brands this statement
as false and then goes on to declare
that its evident purpose is to prevent
voters from registering as members
OF the progressive party at the pri-
maries through fear that they would
DO allowed to vote only that ticket
at the general election.
Summing the whole matter up and
branding the primary law as amend
cd as q poor one the News goes on
to state that one may register as a
republican, If he desires for the pur-
pose of voting for republican NOM
inees at the primaries, and yet vote
the democratic or progressive tickets
at the general election.
II the editorial writer on the News
had read the primary law which he
criticizes he would not have been
guilty OF making such an egregious
blunder. If he had done this he
would have known that the voters of
the state are not required to register
as to members of any political party.
All that is required Is that when they
30 to the polls to vote at q primary
election they must ask for the ballot
OF the party to which they belong and
must be given that ballot and no
other. The effect of this require
ment will be to secure the nomina-
ton OF party candidates by party
voters. and In this there is absolutely
nothing to criticize, for no honest
member Of one party should want to
vote the primary ballot Of any other
We suggest that the editor of the
Boise paper read the primary law
AZ amended by the legislature and
then tell us honestly why he think
1t poor one.
We suspect that those who dislike
the law dislike 1t for the reason that
1t tends to discourage the soreheaded
politics Of which we have seen so
much In this state in recent years.

BEST DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATION

A rumor highly credited in Cald-
well. Boise and other political cen
tiers Is to the effect that Hon M. A.
Bates. editor Of the Parma Herald
and one of the warehouses; of Demo
cracy. will soon announce himself for
congress. Mr.. Bates does not take
kindly to the candidacy TO Hon. Dow
Duninng, as he Is fearful that If Mr..
Cumming is sent to congress he will
devote his entire time and energies
to the PRONUNCIATION of the single
tax theory of Henry George and fail
to do anything for Idaho and the
democratic party. Unless another
presents himself to oppose Mr.. Dun
ming In this section of the state, Mr..
Bates will offer himself.
M. A. Bates Is a Canyon county
man. He Is a Democrat today, was
democrat yesterday and will be a
democrat for all time to come. He
Is a man of considerable native abil-
ity; genial in company; and fearless
IN the expression of his views.
Idaho might. and probably will, do
much worse by sending someone else,
So far as The Tribune is concerned,
II a Democrat is to be sent to con-
gress. we would like to see both
Bates and Dunning sent. They would
make first rate democratic members
OF congress. Dunning could devote
his time to the single tax. Bates
could oppose him. Between the two
nothing would be done, which is
consummation devoutedly to be wish
ed from democratic congressman and
democratic congresses. We hope all
the states are as fortunate as Idaho
promises to be.-Caldwell Tribune.

This brings US back to the matter
we desire to present to our readers
for their consideration, and that is
the civil service promises made by
the present national administration
before its election to power, and the
manner in which it is redeeming
those promises. You know We have
heard SO much from the democratic
papers and boosters of the faithful
performance of duty and the fulfill
ling of all prediction promises made
by Messrs. Wilson, Bryan & Co.,
which among other things was that
every man would be judged as to
his merits and capabilities before be-
ing given appointment, and that no
worthy man would be turned out or
reduced in rank or salary because of
his political opinions, that We are
not only surprised but almost shock
ed with some of the present bold
almost piratical moves that are be-
ing made to furnish places for the
hungry partisan camp followers.
No well posted democrat questions
the standing of the New York World
as party organ, and no loyal demo
crat will question its statements, for
that would be on par with church
member denying the authenticity of
the Bible. Therefore in quoting the
World, the Globe cannot be charged
with showing partisan bias. The
World says regarding the enforce
ment of the civil service rules under
the present administration:
OF late the charges have been
growing that democratic spoilsmen
are busy and successful at their low
traffickings in Washington.
These charges are shamefully sub
stantiate in the case of the govern
ment printing office. The World has
shown that Public Printer Cornelius
Ford has made seventy changes
among his subordinates, thirty-one
of which constitute salary reductions
and thirty-nine involve salary in
creases.
These changes have been made
for the purpose of promoting effic-
iency," declares Mr.. Ford: "as
matter of fact, don't know the poll
tics of the men involved"
But as further matter of fact, it
happens that of the thirty-nine men
who were promoted, thirty nine are
democrats, and that of the thirty one
poor devils whose salaries were re-
duced, thirty-one are republicans.
What blessed dispensation of Di-
vine Providence that efficiency should
have descended thus effulgently on
all true-blue democrats! What
solemn manifestation of Nemesis that
lnefficiency should so inexorably have
cast its blight on all these dogs of
republicans!
And what perfectly attuned in
strument of infallibility must be Mr.. |
Cornelius Ford to be able, without
knowing the politics OF the men in
Volved, to promote the thirty-nine eff
'icient sheep without suffering a sin
Gle republican to creep in by mis-
AXE; to denote thirty-one inefficient |
goats without allowing a single demo
,rat to stumble out by error!
But beautiful as these workings of |
hose democrats who have or expect
% get their feet in the trough, Mr..
Ford and gentlemen like him cannot |
De too quickly stopped or too sharp
y censured by their superiors. The
activities of these faithful swineherds
With their swill are nauseating to
III decent citizens and are degrading
o the democratic party.

SHIPPING ORE BY PARCEL POST

Information comes to us this week
that shipments of ore are now being
made from the Ten Mile country to
the Butte and Anaconda smelters in
Montana, and that the Jumbo mine
in the Buffalo Hump country is also
preparing to ship concentrates from
their mill.
These mines come within the Sec
on zone, and under the new postal
regulations ton of ore can be ship
ped to the points namedfor $23. 90 and
traction. Thus by sorting the ore
carefully, there are dozens of the
mines in the districts contiguous to
Grangeville that can furnish tons up-
on tons of ore that will make their
operators a nice cleanup at the end
OF few months. In many of the
mines tn core boxes are full. 1t is
said, and all that will be required is
proper sorting and sacking to get it
ready for transportation to the smelt-
ers. After they make connection with
the mail service, your Uncle Samuel
has pledged himself to do the rest.
Lord help the mail carriers, for the
government isn't doing much of it.
