DOES 1T COME FROM BoNDHoLDERs?

1t has been explained to The Tribune that
probably eastern bondholders of Idaho Carey
Act companies have been able to insinuate an
influence into the Reclamation Bureau which
leads officials of that Bureau to favor govern
ment completion of Carey Act projects This
is given only as likely reason why the Recla
nation Service should favor taking over some
OF our Carey Act projects while tracts of land
originally included in government projects are
neglected. In all likelihood the influence has
wrought so carefully and nsiduously that high
officials are unaware of its eXstance. 1t is well
known that capital does not hesitate to invade
high places If the least opportunity exist.
Director Newell visited Idaho some months
ago. At the time he stated that the Recama-
ton Service was ready to cooperate with the
state In completing the Carey Act projects.
Since his return to Washington he has reiterated
the position OF his Bureau. The Tribune has
called attention to the fact that while Director
Newell and afterwards Secretary Lane have ex-
pressed a willingness to undertake Carey Act
projects neither Of them has word of encour-
agement for the north side of the Boise project
The settlers here cannot understand the position
OF these high officials The purpose of the
law; the original intention of the government;
the work already done; should carry weight
with the Interior Department. The settlers
Withdrew from the north side upon recommen-
datlon OF government officials and upon the as
suranee that such action would not prejudice
their claims upon the government. Now we
find this very department willing, even anxious,
to undertake the reclamation of all projects ex
cept the one they started There is something
wrong somewhere. A sudden desire to help
Carey Act settlers has not seized the Depart
ment OF the Interior. Some influence is at work
somewhere

SOME ONE KINDLY TELL HIM.

The Globe does not want to be
classed with the hypercritical, back
number hosts, for it is not transla-
tor of the dead languages" any more
than it is a disciple OF Esperanto,
Volapuk or the Hudson Bay COM
pany's jargon, but it does not like to
see its editorial brethren going to the
demnition bow vows through the by
and forbidden paths of untried fads.
However for fear it is unduly alarm
ed and its worryment is unfounded-
what does an editor mean when he
says 1--WE pass the buck, or when he
proposes to "razzle-dazzle the
shrimp" or "fim-ham the nebulous
phantom Can this have anything
to do with the ownership or conduct
of the Boise Capital News? Would
be pleased to have an answer at the
earliest possible interchangeable

ANOTHER SUCH VICTORY AND WE ARE
LOST

Another such victory and we arc lost"
was probably quoted by thousands of Pro
gressives throughout the country when thew
read the returns from the Second Iowa con
gressional district In this district the Demo
cratic nominee received 1925 votes; the Re
publican nominee, 10435 votes; and the Pro
gressive nominee, 1862 votes. In 1912 the Pro
gresslve candidate for governor received z. 343
votes in this district The returns from iowa
are IN about the same ratio as those from Maine
and New Jersey as they show Progressive losses
The registration for the primary election in Cal.
norma which Roosevelt carried in 1912 shows
relatively greater loss to the Progressive party
The third party which started with such
gusto and promise is destined to be shorter
lived and accomplish less than did the Popuist
party, but then the Populists really had some
cause for eXistance. 1t did not spring full
grown from the brow of a man as did the latest

1t is not expected that Idaho Progressive
leaders will admit that their party is on its last
legs, although they may know it. We imagine
that before, long proposals of fusion or com
promise will be offered. The offer may be made
TO the Republicans but we are inclined to think
that it will be to the Democrats. 1t would be a
great joke if the Capital News would deliver
the Progressive party, body, boots and breeches
over 10 the Democratic party

1here are various reasons given for tha
G1Hage OF tront ON the part of the leaders of the

ACTIVITY OF FEDERAL oFF1cEHoLDERs

The activity of federal officeholders is
again brought to our attention by The Tribune S
Boise correspondent, "Brafralgo. " A promi-
nant citizen of Caldwell week before last called
our attention to the fact that these officeholders
had their axe out for Governor Haines We
paid little attention to the story because GER
tain clique i'll the federal bunch is always work
ing against somebody or other They rarely
accomplish much and we believe that BRA
fralgo" is unduly excited, but it is well to show
the present Republican opposition to Governor
Halnes. This opposition does not arise from
the fact that Governor Haines has not given the
state good administration. 1t arises from
pique on the part of one of our United States
senators. The opposition is trying to center
upon Hon d. w. Davis of American Falls, but
Mr.. Davis is coy. He is probably acquainted
with this element in the Republican party and
knows how little reliance may be safely placed
upon it.
Governor Haines has given the state first
rate administration. There is no lust cause for
complaint. He has been unable to accomplish
his purpose of materially reducing taxes but he
has certainly practiced economy and insisted
upon his associates in government doing the
same thing: The question of further economy
in the administration of state government will

question is the issue Governor Haines can 90

people want, and that is the kind thew are going

produced results up to date and it never will

When Sir Beauchamp was appoint
ed to his first post in India, one of
his subordinates, who did not know
him, tried to find out from a brother
officer what sort of man they would
have to deal with. The dialogue
went something like this:
Does he play bridge much?"

Maybe it isn't the world, my lad,
TO SPANK OR NOT TO SPANK

Before the question of TO spank or
not to spank, the question of ito be
or not to be" pales into mere philo-
sophical sniveling. For while you go
on discussing being, you are; and
while you are discussing spanking,
your child runs ahead of you, turning
to you his unsuspecting rear, which
has never been deiled by what is
euphemistically known Nas corporal
punishment And when you have got
ten to the point of discussing whether
you shall apply it or not, something
in your world has gone remarkably
wrong. What sort of parents are
you that you must resort to violence?
Thus the question spreads its dark
wings and broods.

There is no question but that a desperate
situation must exist when the President of the
United States is forced to completely repudiate
his platform OH a matter of foreign policy, es-
pecially where his secretary wrote that platform
form is sacred. On questions effecting British
interests the platform is not worth the paper on
which it was written Great platform writer's

THE OBSERVATORY.


In old Concord town, where the
shot of the Revolutionary War was
fired that WAS heard around the
world" the home of Ralph Waldo
Emerson and Louisa Alcott, author
of Little Women, and her philosopher
father, there now lives Frank B. San
born, scholar, sage and patriot, over
80 years of age. Yet each week he
contributes two columns to the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican, which may
show his intimate knowledge of old
or modern Greek, or Latin authors,
European or American history, an
cient or modern, history, and most of
the early facts and secrets of the
Anti-Slavery propaganda and the for
nation of the Republican party. He
was the intimate friend of John Brown
of Kansas and Harpers Ferry fame
and author of his life, and for some
years has been editing the writings
and letters of Emerson. Once in a
while in his reminiscent writing he
will refer to the attempt, April 3,
1860, to arrest him by order of the
U. 5. Senate for contempt because
he refused to go to Washington to
testify regarding the John Brown
raid at Harper's Ferry the year be
fore.
The attempted arrest partook more
of the nature of kidnapping than of
an ordinary arrest; and well remem-
Der the excitement which was caused
thereby; all the region was in fer
ment, but such was the ingrained re-
spect for law in that locality that all
efforts to rescue him must be through
the form of law, even the dignihed
Supreme Court lending its aid. And
although public feeling was at white
heat, and Charles Sumner had recent
ly been brutally assaulted, the kidnap-
pers were only arrested and set free
under bail. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that in many parts of our country
then, and even now, those men would
have been roughly handled, if not
lynched.
In subsequent years Mr.. Sanborn
has revealed that he knew much about
John Browns plans, but | believe
neither he nor any other northern
knew of the exact plan
of the Harper'S Ferry raid. But Mr..
Sanborn knew enough to desire to
keep away from Washington and the
Y. 5. Senate investigators at that
time.
AS a boy | kept scrap books in
