WHERE IS THE cENsoR9

The political censor of our esteemed
morning contemporary, whose business
# Is to see that nothing in its news
columns conflicts with its eloquent
enlogies of the Wilson administration
and it's graphic descriptions of the
wave of prosperity that is sweeping
over the country, must have laid or
Monday night, otherwise it is quite
impossible to account for these two
news items which appeared on its
editorial page Tuesday morning:
CHICAGO, Dec. 21--One out OF
every 10 persons in Chicago receives
aid from public charity, according TO
a report today of the retiring presl-
dent of the board of county commits

PAY POLITICAL DEBT.

The selection OF private secretary
Is not political appointment. 1t Is
no more a political appointment thar
is the selection of wife. 1t is purely
personal matter, and beyond the pale
OF partisan polities.-Press Times
If it is not political appointment y
must be a private snap. but If so why
does the state pay the private secretary
to the governor salary of $500 per-
In Mr.. Broxon the governor has select
ed man well equipped for his private
secretary and we believe he is at the
same time paying political debt e

Yours very respectfully,
JOHN M. HAINES,
No,,arn mr.

Mr.. Givens made the following
statement regarding the governors
letter:
Wants to Be Free.
Under the conditions l wouldn't feel
like following any suggestions as to
selecting an assistant, in view of the
fact that the charges have been such,
whether true or false, as to cast some
reflection upon various state officials,
and, that being true, If it is to be the
peoples investigation, want it to be
free from any suspicion that the state
officials have anything to do with It..
In a grand jury no assistant Is allow
ed to be present. When the investiga-
ton is completed / don't want 1t said
that anyone higher up had anything
to do with the conduct of the inves-
tigation. The entire state administra-
ton is under suspicion by the public
and the constituted authorities are
sufficient to handle the situation.
Moreover, / would regard it more
appropriate for me to give heed to
recommendation from the incoming
governor, under whose administration
the investigation will be conducted, II
he has any to make.
His Own Guide.
! Having been elected by the people
as prosecuting attorney, and being
such, l consider 1t my duty to conduct
this investigation. l am the only one
responsible for prosecuting crime ir

and since l have assumed that respon.
sibility under my oath of office, | in.
tend to have charge of the prosecu.
ton and investigation. l have every
confidence in the district judges ant
in the grand jury that has been drawn
and / believe they can give me all thu
assistance / may require aside from
the witnesses the grand jury may re.
quire to attend.

Means No Reflection.

In this connection it has occurred to
me that you should provide yourself
with eminent assistance in conduct
ing this probe and l trust that you will
accept this suggestion in the spirit in
which it Is intended Especially must
l disclalm, by making this request,
lany reflection, either direct or implied,
upon your ability and integrity, in
which | have every confidence, but |
feel sure that the people of the state
would approve your action in secur-
i ing assistant counsel especially If
such counsel were selected outside the
city of Boise and its official environ
lments, and therefore | desire to in
sist, on behalf of the state and its peo-
lple, that you associate with you in
this grand jury investigation another
attorney Of known ability and state
wide reputation for honesty and in
tegrity.
| l therefore take the liberty Of sug-
gesting as such assistant counsel the
name Of Attorney John p Gray of
Occur dAlene Mr., Gray stands
among those who are at the head Of
the bar in this state. He is a success
full prosecutor and the fitness of his
selection for this work could not be
questioned My recommendation Is
that you secure his services now, II
possible, in connection with the Cole
man trial as well as for the grand
jury investigation.
In my judgment, the gravity Of the
situation is such that am warranted
in insisting upon the course above
outlined, and, as before stated, trust
that you will accept and act upon it
in the same kindly spirit in which Of
fered This grand jury investigation
is the peoples investigation and my
only desire is that the people should

CHRISTMAS BELLS.

Henry w. Longfellow-lS64)
7 heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old, familiar carols play
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
OF peace on earth, goodwill 10 men
And thought how, as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
of neace on earth, goodwill to men!
TIN. ringing, singing on Its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
The voice, chime,
A chant sublime
or peace on earth, goodwill to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon numbered in the SOUTH
And with the sound
The carols drowned
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men!
II was as if an earthquake rent
The hearthstones of a continent
And made forlorn
The households born
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men!
And in despair l bowed my head;
There is no peace on earth" SAID;
For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men!
Then pealed the bells more loud and
deep;
God is not dead; nor doth He sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
And Right prevail,
With peace on earth goodwill to men"

Sees Its Importance.

Permit me to observe that the gray
lily of this investigation must impress
all. Probably no grand jury was ever
convened in the state of Idaho that
vas called upon to investigate mat
tiers so grave as those involved in the
treasury scandal, and in order that
the people of the state of Idaho may
realize the fun benefit of such inves-
tlgation, 1t should be conducted with
a due regard to all the proprieties in
volved, and l desire it distinctly UNI
derstood that the investigation which
your Office is to conduct before the
grand jury shall be as thorough and
far reaching as it is possible to make
Particularly do I desire that there
shall be left, when the investigation
has been completed no just ground
| for the insinuation or report that any
attempt has been made to condone
mitigate, whitewash or gloss over, any
act or any person connected in any
way with the treasury defalcation, OF
any other matter pertaining to oul
state government.
