TOLD The TRUTH
GOVERNOR HAS LITTLE TO SAY
IN ANSWER TO STATEMENTS
OF THE MoNTeoMERYs.

Jackson Miss, Feb. 11.--Gov. Brew
er was asked last night If he had any
thing to say relative to the denial OF
Col. w. A. Montgomery, prison trustee.
of certain statements made by the gov
ernor when he went before the joint
legislative penitentiary investigating
committee few days ago, or of Col.
Montgomery's son, that he had usLrp-
ed the functions of the Kinds county
grand jury by looking into his papers
and then telling him his presence be-
fore the jury would not be needed.
Gov. Brewer said: 81 have no time
to devote to any statements along this
line. What told the committee was
true, so far as my information goes.
am informed that many bales of cot
ton bought by Boyce were insured at
! the expense of the state.
| "As regards my conversation and
meeting with young Montgomery, all
I have to say is that he came to the
court house while was there with
several expert auditors. He brought
some books and papers. The district
attorney was perfectly aware of wha'
was being done. None Of the members
of the grand jury were expert account
ants, and those with me simply looked
into the books and papers brought b!
Mr.. Montgomery. There was nothint
wrong about the matter in any way
shape Or form. The grand jury off
Gals we're perfectly aware of our &C
lions in the whole matter"

taneOuS reform t0WOfO
The tendency of today is to carry this
still further by legislation. The move
ment is backed by so much earnest
ness and enthusiasm that it cannot be
doubted that we shall have certain ex-
perience of the working habits of such
policy. In Idaho, the next step in
this direction is to be statewide pro-
hibition either in the form of a con-
stitutional amendment or by legisla-
tive possibly by both. 1t
is safe to assume that all political
parties and most office seekers will
take due cognizance of the trend of
the times, and if not from conviction,
at least from motives of expediency,
it is to be expected that they will
make the objects of this move
ment a part of their declared policy.
1t is generally felt that a non-par-
tisan reform of our revenue laws and
a general policy of retrenchment
leading directly to reduction of tax
es is the primary economic need of
Idaho. This is not likely to be ac-
complished until it can be made the
sole leading issue. While the prohibit
ton movement is on the carpet, candi-
dates for the legislature are likely to
be selected primarily because of their
attitude toward prohibition, and only
secondarily because of their qualifica-
tons for office. Consequently, little
is to be expected in the line of sane
economic legislation until these super
fetal moral issues are removed from
the field of politics. And, therefore,
the earlier that prohibition is written
into the state constitution, the earlier
will the field be cleared for untram-
meled discussion of purely economic
questions.

PROHIBITION.

Prohibition of the liquor traffic will
be great big issue in state and ma
ton this year and the years following
There is no question as 10 what the
result will be eventually Even the
far-seeing brewers and distillers adj
NIT that their business is doomed
Perhaps the most severe indictment
Of the business that has appeared in
print recently is that which appeared
in late number Of the Liquor Deal
ers' Journal It reads as follows:
The prohibition fight henceforth will
be nationwide, and contemplates
writing into the national constitution
a prohibition Of the manufacture and
sale of all alcoholic beverages. To
accomplish this result will require the
ratification Of 36 out Of the 48 states
in the Union.
OF these nine are already in line
through state prohibition-M Maine,
Kansas, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, North Carolina. The last
five have been added within a period
of six years In addition TO these
there are 10 states in which major
part of the people live in territory
made dry by local option, in which
we may be assured prohibition senti-
ment predominates.
If the people of these states who
are opposed TO the liquor traffic de- /
mand IL, their legislatures will UNI !
doubtedly ratify national amend |
ment.
The most influential argument |
against prohibition is that it is not
effective; that prohibition doesn't |
prohibit" This is not basic or moral;
the fact of failure to enforce is no
argument against even the expedi-
ency, much less against the moral is
sue involved.
Ultimately all questions must be
settled by moral standards; only In
this way can mankind be saved from
self effacement. The liquor traffic
cannot save itself by declaring that
government is incapable of coping
with the problem it presents; when
the people decide that it must go, 1t
will be banished.
We are not discussing the benefit
or Justice of prohibition, but its pos
sibility and its probability in present
To us there is "the handwriting on
the wall" and its Interpretation spells
doom. For this the liquor business is
to blame; it seems incapable of learn
ing any lesson of advancement or any
motive but profit.
To perpetuate itself it has formed
alliance with the slums that repel
all conscientious and patriotic citizens. ,

Arguments have been greatly
deranged. 1t is no longer possible to
classify the electorate into definite
party groups, nor even to roughly
estimate the strength of opposing fac
tions. There seem to be no distinct
lines of cleavage There is confusion
now where four years ago there was
definite opposing forces. Neither of
the old political parties is intact, and
there are other influences that con
tribute to the complexity.
| In the first place, the creation of
the Progressive party makes it diff
cult to form an estimate of the
strength of the Republican party. The
heavy Progressive vote of two years
ago is no certain indication of what
the Progressive vote will be in 1914.
For in 1912 there was a presidential
campaign when the Progressive ticket
was headed by Roosevelt, TO whose
standard focked a full third of the \
total vote. In 1914, there will neither
be a popular national leader nor de-
sire to administer a rebuke to an un-
popular administration. Unless some 4
new source of enthusiasm is injected
into the Progressive movement, it is
safe to forecast that the total vote
of that party will be greatly reduced.
If we may take the two recent con-
gressional elections in Iowa as an
index, we may assume that the Pro-
gressive party in Idaho will hardly
develop enough strength in 1914 to
even materially encourage Democratic
hope as to the general result How
ever, the Progressive party may here
and there serve so far to drain hith-
erto excessive Republican pluralities
in some counties as to equalize the
of the two old parties, there
by making the election of few Dem
Dcrats possible.
Within the Democratic party there

", SO in the Democratic party there t

AS leader of the conservative wing 8
stands former Governor James Ii. i
Iawley. His ambition is to be United +
states senator. His strength is due +
argely to his wide personal acquaint-
nee, rare faculty for making friends, t
nd his unquestioned ability as one a
f the leaders of the Idaho bar. His Ii
,olitical creed was adopted long be- e
ore "The New Freedom" was writ |
en-, and he is suspected by his oppon- c
nts within his party of giving only S
tepid approval to the aggressive at Il

f the party toward new questions b
rising within the last decade. He is a
