The Farce of Notwithstanding

1t Is a pity that the spirit as we'll
as the letter of the nonrpartisan cleo
ton for judges in this judicial Dis
trict should have been violated as
thoroughly and shamefully as was
the case in the recent primary.
The great majority of voters recog-
nize the many advantages of strict
craftsmanship when it comes to
the selection of men to fill the Dis
trict Bench, and 1t Is to be regret
ted that the electorate as a whole
should have been slapped in the face
by the very men who, as party lead
ers, are looked to for at least
good example.
Does anyone pretend to believe that
the voice of the people, uninterfered
with, is to be found in the selection
of three Democrats and one Republi-
can as candidates i'm this district
AS a whole the Republicans acted in
good faith, but the ingrown tendency
toward the pork barrel system,
bred into the very bone and sinew
of Democracy, and growing stronger
with every passing year, had to- come
out, and the result Is farce in the
way of a judicial election which
would be ludicrous were it less
vicious.
The candidates selected at the
Primary are James II. Wise, Republi-
can, and w. A. Babcock, Judge C.
o. Stockslager, and J. R. Boutwell,,
Democrats. Mr. Wise is, therefore,
the standard bearer of Republication
as far as the judicial ticket is con-
cerned, and the Democrats having
set the fashion, it is squarely UP
to the Republican electorate to fol-
low suit.
The election of Mr.. Wise is the
one form of protest which can be filed
against the vicious Vaccinations of
those responsible for the overthrow
of the non-partisan judicial election
theory in this district, and to bring
this about every Republican In this
whole section should constitute him
self a committee of one for common
protection against a eoitition against
protection against a repetition of the
performance in the COM
ing election.-Twin Falls News.

WILL YANk 'EM ALL OUT.

Just prior to the primary, Judge ].
M. Stevens, OF Blackfoot made hard
campaign for the nomination for
governor ON the Republican ticket.
He conducted an elaborat campaign
with hired speakers, brass bands,
told the people of Idaho If they
would nominate and elect him govern
or he would in the course of two years
make Idaho a ''taxless state" 1t
listened fine but the voters were
not so easily led out of the wilder
ness by this selfAppointed Moses,
and turned him down in no uncertain
way. There is still another Moses
VINO thinks he can lead the people
out of the wilderness, whom the peo-
pie will put the same N. G. brand
ON in the November election, Moses
Alexander. Here is his remedy for
relieving the overburdend taxpayers,
which he gave In a recent speech:
After l am elected governor
next November, and after / take
office on the second OF January,
then the first thing | will do after
that, / will go down into the
basement of the State House
and l will take the first man
meet and yank him out, and
keep 1t up until the last man In
the State Of Idaho Is out of Of
flee. There won't be a man
left to tell the tale"
Some ''yank" that, Moses.

Hackensack Southpaw Follows
Advice and Shows Distinct
Improvement in Work.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. March G.
There is growing impression
among those who have been critically
following the development of the
newcomers aTong the Washington
pitchers. that Harry Harper will make
mighty bid for permanency before
relincuishing a regular place to any
Of the others VINO have been in train
ing here.
Harrer's principal drawback Is lack
Of experience. He broke into the
league last summer as a crude semi
mendation natural ability that
made 1t possible for him to sweep
through games around New York. He
improved greatly under the tutilege
of the other members of the corps,
and even now it is possible to daily
note Improvement in his performance.
The most valuable hint he has re-
ceived since coming here was Nick
Altrock's suggestion that he do away
with an unnatural hop" ds he was
about to deliver. Under his old
system he was completely out Of
balance and landed in position that
made il impossible for him to catch a
stride TO field his position
He has worked hard to overcome
this weakness during the past couple
Of days. and is now working much
smoother. His great height and
length CT arm makes 1t possible for
Harper to pitch much after the form
of Ed Flank.
Should Harper continue to show i'm
provement in form it would make the
greatest sort of difference in the up
bu lding of the Griffithian forces. Tha

Bentley has been doElg most impressive

with another of Harper, would give

A tie-up in the plans OF several pro-

obtain the park for their games, and
were in a position to get hold OF the
lease until other plans were made
known.
Other parties are endeavoring to OBJ
tain the park for Sunday baseball, ac-
cording to information received today,
and are baking on taking a lease owing
to the fact that ground and grandstand
conditions are anything but satsfac-
tory
1t is rumored that the Sunday School
circuit, one of the amateur baseball
leagues, Is being approached to have the
use of the park during the weekdays.
1t is planned to allow the high schools
to play their games on the Tuesdays
and Fridays during the latter Part OF
April and May.
The Washington Playground Assccia-
ton will have little to do with the prof.
ect until there is assurance that the
fences around the park are fixed, and
that the grandstand conditions are bet
tered, according to the superintendent.
The recent storm played havoc With
the fences and stands and something

cording to a preliminary estimate. The
high school athletic advisers are no
nearer a solution now than they We're

for April u and unless other arrange
ments can be made the teams will be
unable to hold the games 1T the Union
League park.
Galloway and Tabor. two OF the best

upon by Central for the distance event

Galloway Is i'll with measles. 1t IL un-

Boehling is az player who varies but
little in weight and just now he is at
about the same weight that he carried
when he set the American League
aghast by trimming with great regular

force him to relinquisn his Champion

This prodigious appetite almost proved
the undoing OF the NirEinian. He never
was quite himself after his battle with

Boehling has learned his little lesson
from the indiscretion ana he should be
able to catch n 8 true form considerably
sooner this spring than he did last. A
saner and safer policy In the matter Of
eating should make it much more prob
able that Boehling will be away to a
good start.

HARRY HARPER DISCARDS HIS HOP

RUNNING BASES IS
TY COBB'S TOPIC

You all know what kind of a base
runner Ty Cobb is. You know
that he knows something about
the art of annexing cushions.
Perhaps most of you have seen
him hooking second or sneak
ing up behind the pitcher and
diving viciously into third.
Then, when he writes about
"Big League Base Running"
you'll admit that he's writing
about something that is known
to him in its every particular.
This subject is treated fully by
Ty Cobb in his Sunday feature
story in The Times and you
cannot afford to miss it. Re-
member, Ty's expose Of the art
of base running appears only
in the Sunday edition of The
