and is qualified to serve jail sentence
without Quibbling. Senator James H..
Brady lately gave new mortgage to
the lions Savings bank of Salt Lake.
The mortgage recorded was in the
sum of $4,000 but the stocks, bonds
and notes Of the Capital News were
not a part of the collateral put up.
The question naturally arises: Who
enabled the Capital News to get out
of hook to Senator Brady? The one
answer Is, Hon. Cruzen. State Chair
man Gipson stated recently that the
Capital News had been placed upon a
sound financial footing and would be
unembarrassed during the coming
campaign.
The Tribune Is pleased that the
Capital News Is on it's feet again.
We always sympathized with the
News in its efforts, and especially af-
ter Richard Storey Sheridan confessed
sometime ago that while in the past
the Capital News had served every
master in the state, henceforth it
would be chaste and virtuous.
In our last issue we stated that the
Boise paper would show up one Of
these days with a clean slate. At the
time we were unable to say how the
trick would be turned. 1t is perfect
ly clear now. Following its past
course the harshest anathamas against
Senator Brady will be hurled within
60 days. otherwise the financing Of
the Capital News was not complete
and Senator Brady has a string
on it yet 1t is well known that the
Hon. Richard Story is as devoid Of
gratitude as his paper is of virtue

their readers just as though they
could be accepted as true, when they

The entry of Burton l.. French in
to the senatorial contest In Idaho
muddles the political waters of the
republican party greatly and practic-
ally insures the election of demo-
crat to the u. s. senate from Idaho
this fall. Not satisfied with having
virtually been the cause of the loss
of the northern part of the state
in electing a senator last year Mr..
French now presumes to ask sup
port from these same people to furth-
er his own political ends this fall
and evidently thinks that his sue
cess as a vote getter in the past
will stay with him in the future. In
this he Is apt to be mistaken. French
has made Idaho a fair congressman
during the past ten or twelve years.
That Is, he has done much in a small
way for his constituents and has
made no serious mistakes-because
he has kept his hands off of the jobs
that were too big for him. He has
not been considered a big man in
congress, however, by his colleagues
and If he could not measure up to
the best in the house after years OF
experience he Is far short of what
Idaho should have to represent her
interests In the senate. Idaho needs
big men in the senate-men of brains
and ability--such as Dubois proved to
be In the past and Borah is proving
at present With all due respect for
Mr.. French as a man, he is hardly
large enough for the job and knowl
edge of his own Shortcomings in this

A very interesting experiment is
being tried in Latah county by Coun-
ty Assessor Theodore Martinson, in
which the entire community becomes
its own assessor and board of equal
ization. The plan is briefly to call
the entire property owning popula-
ton together at some convenient
place and in the presence of his
neighbors each owner lists their be-
longings. In this way the tempta-
ton to hide taxaLIe property Is re-
duced to the minimum and the
relative values Of the different
classes of land are arrived at to the
satisfaction of all and no favorites
played. That looks good and is
worthy of close study by the other
assessors of the state.

The state of Idaho says a certain
rate of interest is legal and another
Is usurious when charged by money
loaners to the taxpayers. Upon what
theory then, embraced within its at
tenuated, fine spun line of reason
ing does the state justify itself in
making tax law that takes from a
hardrpressed, unfortunate taxpayer
something like % per cent interest
and penalty because he fails to pay
the taxes assessed against his proper
ty within specified length Of
time, and at the same time
places the title of his proper
ty in grave jeopardy by putting 1t
within reach of the very money loan
er referred to at a higher cost to
him? Has the state a moral right
to play havoc with the taxpayers
property, simply because it is a SOW
erign power?

The Globe Is in hearty accord with
the sentiment expressed by the Weis-
er Signal in answer to an intimation
from l. H. Nash. that the repub-
lican papers which are criticizing the
action of the state land board, Of
which Mr.. Nash Is an accredited rep
resentative, for making questionable
land sales, were injuring the repub-
lican party. The Signal says: eff
to criticize public officials who we
think are making 'blunders,' to say
the least, brings the party into dis
repute and is reasonable, the Signal
Is willing to plead guilty to the
charge. But We have yet to be con-
WINGED that the officials of the state
land department constitute the re-
publican party. In our humble opin-
ion the only way to regain the conf
dence of the people is to do the
housekeeping ourselves. 1t might
be policy to wait and let the bull
AuoOSt anu uouOCTdllc newspapers
call halt, but 1t would not be pat
riotic to do so, and the Signal be-
lieves that real patriotism Is good
republicanims, whether we are deal
ing with Mexican greasers or Idaho
greasers. So says the Globe. If
the present state administration ex-
poets to receive words of praise and
eucomium at the hands of republican
papers, 1t must shape its course to
merit them, so far as the Globe is
concerned. II there is anything to
commend the Boise basin land sale
of several weeks ago, or in the more
recent sale made at Van Wyck, of
Long Valley land, at o'clock in the
morning to Harry C. Shellworth, rep
resentative of the Boise Payette lum-
Der company. at an adjourned date
of questionable authorization, it has

WHICH SEES IT Alright?

The Caldwell Tribune appears to
be q little nonplussed over the diff
ferent conclusions reached by Fred
Floed Of the Boise New Freedom,
and Frank Roberts of the Payette
Progress, regarding the terms to ap-
ply to the relationship between Sen
ator Brady and the Boise Capital
News. If neither of these editors
can or will give q satisfactory ex
PLANTATION of the matter (although it
would seem the New Freedom had
made a herculean effort that way
the Tribune should call upon the edi-
tors of the Capital News, they should
know and are always willing to take
the public into their confidence. The
Tribune has the following to say on
the matter:
"The New Freedom in its last is
sue calls upon Senator James H.
Brady to resign his seat in the Unit
ed States senate. The allegation is
made that Senator Brady has violat-
ed the letter and the spirit Of the
direct primary law by the reckless
use of money, has deceived the state
supreme court and perjured himself
in testimony offered in court. The
specified grounds for the allegations
are the transactions between Sena-
tor Brady and the Capital News. The
New Freedom says that he stands
convicted upon the records of the
state of Idaho of violating the
direct primary law, of wilfully de-
ceiving the supreme court of the
state The records In the case show
that on December "a, 1912, Senator
Brady testified in court that he die
not own or control any of the bonds
of the Capital News. The records
further show that since February 5
1910. Senator Brady as mortgaget

issue of the Capital News. In these
records the New Freedom sees IL

Burton L. French and Napoleon.
If you want to be real vote getter
gerous. In Idaho Congressman Bur-
be perfectly harmless or really dan
ton l.. French is said to be the great
est little vote getter In the state. He
is certainly harmless in every other
respect. This calls to mind that a
man of entirely different type, Ma
polean the First, was also vote
getter. In 1902, the First Consul,
by a esnatus consultum, had his ten
ure of office increased from 10 years
to life. was an important step,
so a general election was called to
confirm or reject the decree. At
this election 3.570,259 votes were
cast and 3,56S,5S5 were In favor of
the change. Less than two years
later it was deemed best to make
Napoleon emperor of the French.
Again an appeal was made to the
people. The vote stood 1881 ,675
for and 2,579 against investing Ma
poleon with the Imperial title.
The point for politicians to keep in
mind is that they must either beat
down all opposition by whatever
means. or offend no one. Either
method has been successful in get
ting votes. Congressman French is
a fine young man. Nobody has any
thing against him, not even the pro-
gressives. A few years ago he was
proud of the friendship that existed
between him and Speaker Cannon.
Mr.. Cannon fell on evil days in pop
ularity and Congressman French bob
bed up most serenely as the greatest
foe of the Speaker that Idaho had
ever produced. Congressman French
was at one time high protective tar
iff man. Protection was popular at
the time. Now we find him the
greatest little tariff reformer in this
far west. Tariff reform Is popular.
Enemies say he changes with the
wind. Friends say he simply repre-
sents the people and keeps abreast Of
progress. AS a matter Of fact his
antipathy to offending keeps him
amendable to reason. We can't see
that he has ever done anything for
Idaho. but he is certainly harmless.
He would not even offend President
Taft and everybody else took a fling
at him.-Caldwell Tribune.

BURTON l. FRENCH'S ACTS AS
VIEWED BY STATE EDITORS

That there Is a strong disposition
ON the part of the state newspapers
to repudiate any claims Mr.. French
may have ever had upon them or
the republican party in the past on
account of the conduct of himself
and his legislative delegation in the
senatorial contest last winter at
Boise, and his continued clearly de-
fined purpose of making his party in
terests and that of his section of the
state completely subservient and Sec
Ondary to that of his own personal
ambitions and interests, Is certainly
apparent In the utterances of the edi-
tors of many of the best papers. But
the Globe prefers to let those editors
express their own views on Mr..
French's conduct and candidacy. Fol
lowing are few comments:

French and the Senatorship.
(Sandpoint Reyiew.)

Congressman French aspires to the
senatorial toga, which Is quite to be
expected of him. Like good many
other men who have served a long
time in the house a senatorial toga
Is an ambition which Is continu-
ally beckoning With three avowed
candidates already in the race French
naturally feels that he has fight
ing chance.
His candidacy will the more widen
the breach between him and Judge
Ailshie who held French to account
In the legislative session for his fall
ure to secure the votes of the Latah
delegation which vote at one time
would have put Judge Ailshie over.
Ailshie's friends claim that they had
always been loyal to French in his
campaigns and that French failed to
reciprocate. The charge of ingrati-
tude In politics goes far with polite
ians but 1t does not affect perhaps
the attitude Of the average voter
who sizes up the political game as
one Of more or less jockeying for
position in which men seek their own
emolument first French will be a
factor In the race but whether he is
going to be looked upon as the most
available timber for the senate re-
mains to be seen.
One result is immediate, however
and that is that the appearance Of
Congressman French in the senator
ial race complexities the situation the
more. 1t leaves the field for the con
gressional nomination open to a hos'
of aspirants and gives the north two
candidates for the senate as against
two from the south, and the south
has the heavy end of the vote. It en-
hances Brady's chances of the nomi
nation and takes from Ailshie'i

Tho Senatorship.
(Richfield Recorder)

It is announced on apparently good
authority that Congressman French
will be candidate for the republican
nomination for U. s. senator.
The Recorder is genuinely sorry
that this Is SO; believing that, even
II he should win the nomination, 1t
will mean q democratic senator.
The state has given Mr.. French
many good majorities for congress
but the senate is very different
matter, and the old republican ma
jorities no longer exist. Last year.
Mr.. French had the endorsement of
the progressive ticket, and got q
two-party vote. No man can ever
do that again. Indeed, 1t Is very
doubtful whether Mr.. French can
get anything like q united support
OF any one party. The virulent at
tacks that his senatorial ambition
has stirred up are enough to wipe
out more than the republican ma.
5ority or the progressive minority
II he should win the nomination.
The nature Of the attacks are humili-
atingly uniform, on the ground Of
lack Of senatorial size. The Record
er does not believe Mr.. French can
win; but he is spelling good con-
gresham to become a very poor
corpse.
The Recorder has no choice In its
friendship for French and Ailshie,
the two leading candidates for the
republican nomination. Both are
friends Of many years standing:
both will testify alike as to this I'M
selfish friendship. But 1t Is the duty
OF a friend to tell the truth; and 1t
Is the Judgment Of an undoubted
friend that the next senator will be
either Ailshie or q democrat. The
traditional vote getting power of
French--for far smaller Jobs
not greater than that Of Ailshie; for
the big job, Ailshie Is almost the
universal favorite. The cleverly juggled
anti-Ailshie campaign last winter,
where It Is impossible not to see the
work of French and Brady, was OF
the legislature and the politicians,
not Of the people. When the people
get a chance to vote on senator. they
will do what they would have done
then-elect Ailshie or a democrat.
The Recorder will have no fight
ON Mr.. French; though it expects to
see him surely last whatever hap
pens, and the republican senator
ship thrown away In a hopeless
fight If he should receive the nomi-
