PLAIN TRUTH FROM IDAHO

When Senator Borah Of Idaho
opens his mouth to speak he usual
ly says something worth the effort.
He gave his Republican colleagues
a distinct shock the other day when
inIthe course of a debate on woman
suffrage. he bluntly declared that
the fifteenth amendment 10 the
constitution of the United States
was a "blunder, engendersd in a
spirit Of retaliation" This view
is not a novel one, but its open
confession by a republican states
man is as uniqor as it is refreshing.
Senator Borah went on to say
that the amendment infringed up
on State rights. and might furnish
n precedent for an amendment de-
claring that the right to hold real
estate or attend school should net
be denied because Of race or color.
II have no desire, he said "to be-
stow the franchise upon the $1,000
japanese on the Pacific coast or
yield up to the federal government
the control of the school questions
of the Pacific coast.
The Senator was vigorously de-
Tending woman suffrage but point
ed out the hopelessncss of votes
for women by constitutional amend
ment so long as the question. was
loaded down with the negro ques-
tion, the Japanese question and a
dozen other States rights problems.
You will never carry the required
thirty six States TO: a constitutional
woman suffrage amendment" he
asserted, until you repeal the
fifteenth amendment"
And the gentleman from Idaho
therein stated a truth that will be
amply vindicated in the course OF
eyents.-Humholt Star.

CANNOT SHIELD EVIL DOORS

Tn so called Corrupt Practice
Act enacted by the last legislature
was an instrument bunGingly de-
signed to shield those whose acts
would not bear the penetrating light
of newspaper inquiry. AS a matter
of law it is on a parity with other
measures passed by the same coterie
of jawsmiths and seekers after a
| little cheap notoriety and is as full of
holes as a sieve. 1t was designed
for nothing more than a threat to
I muzzle the press of Nevada or tn
| condone the rcmissness of certain
papers in refraininG from publish
ing facts about favored sons. The
Bonanza takes this occasion to is
sue notice to the attorney general
and all candidates for Office that
the Corrupt Practices law will
be treated as a dead letter as it
is aimed only at a suppression of
truth and works for the election
of men who have proved recreant to
their trusts and would avail them
selves of the slightest pretext to
sneak under cover at the first init
nation of danger.
The Bonanza does not intend to
conform to the tommy rot ideas OF
the men who formulated this pure
election law. This paper proposes
to say what it pleases on all SUBJ
jects whether they T p?latablc to
the people concerned or not. The
honest man has n2thing to fear
from the BonanzS. The dark Ian
tern methods Of hack politicians
who have dictated policies of every
party with which they chose to
align themselves are the ones t.
fear the light. Now it is time tC
give fair warning to all Democrat:
and Republicans aspiring to Office
Once more let it be said that thu
Bonanza is going to have some
thing to say about the next cleo
ton. We propose TO do a little
politics this time where silence be
fore has been dictated by party in
terests. There will be no gaggini
of the press. Neither will there b,
a bride in the hands Of any hos

There will be no pull or drag. Tn,

Courts and officials may do thei
best to enforce this law which is
direct blow at the liberty of tn

paid to the obnoxi US statute an
we would like to see someone il
