CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.

secretary bryan'S attempt to pass
the buck" for the apology to Colom-
bia back to the Taft Administration
has been exposed as unfounded by the
very witness upon whom he relied.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Bryan quoted a memorandum as the
bases on which Minister Dubois was
authorized to negotiate. this memoir
andum including the apology.
Mr.. Dubois now states in an inter-
view with the New York Times that
mo such expression was considered
either by President Taft or by Secre-
tary Knox. He admits that he in
cluded the apology in IAN informal
memorandum which l. upon my own
Initiative. informally presented to the
Colombian Government in order TO
feel the pulse of that people, and
that he recommended II to Mr. Knox.
The latter's statement corroborates
Mr., Dubois. for he says that Mr. Du-
bois took 1t upon himself" Informally
to suggest to the Colombians the
terms mentioned in the memorandum.
Being hopelessly trapped, Mr. Bryan
now admits that he did not know
whether Dubois had or had not been
authorized to present the memoran-
dunn to the Columbian Government
There is a sting in Mr.. Knox's final
statement that the negotiations came
to an end because Columbia Seemed
determined to treat with the incoming
democrats administration" Evidently
the Colombians were close observers of
American politics: they knew the flabby
character of the diplomacy to be ex-
pected of Mr.. Bryan. and they knew his
readiness to believe anything to the dis
credit of his political opponents. There
fore they waited until they could deal
with man after their own heart The
Colombian treaty is the product of par
tisanship exalted above patriotism

The charge was openly made by Gov
Frank K. Gooding in the launching Of
his campaign that James II. Brady was
a great corruptor of politics; that among
other things he owned the Boise Cap
ital News, the great bullmoose organ,
the paper that has led the attack upon
the republican party and all of its
political leaders with the exception of
Mr.. Brady, and that he had the goods
on Mr. Brady which he would proceed
to deliver without stint or reservation
as the campaign progressed. Fred Floed
in his New Freedom went further and
published transcript of the records
and court proceedings with affidavts
showing Mr. Brady's ownership of the
Capital News stock and bonds, also
where he testified under oath that he
had told the Capital News people at
one time that he would not let them
have money unless he could control the
policy and politics of the paper. Now
We find the bullmoose leaders starting
in to turn the vote of their party over
to Mr.. Brady in payment of the val
liant services which his paper has rem
dered in dividing the republican party.
Isn't that an amazing collision of the
corrupt elements in the politics of this
state-James H. Brady republican can
didate for the high office of u. S. SEN
ator, supplying the sinews of war by
the thousands of dollars to maintain
the Capital News, and thus assist II

claims to belong to and the vote OF

ever seen anything to beat this? Yet
we see papers in the state of Idaho wit
these facts before them, and men VIII,

structed and paid for with the ex-

$40, 000, 900.
OF course, the democrats denied any
such intention, but they rallied to a
man in support of the bonding scheme
and carried II.
Here is concrete example of the
contrast between what the democrats
call republican eXtravagance and demo-
cratic economy The republicans save

job and they propose TO fill their
stocking by bonding the work for which
the republicans have paid with cash In

Clag Paulstone, candidate TO

Clag Paulstone, candidate for U. S.
senator on the progressive ticket, is
now being cross-fired by his professed
political friends, and from indications
he win find an early fratricidal grave.
1t is claimed by Nora Marks and other
political prophets that Fred Dubois is
gong to break into the senatorial race
through the efforts of one element of
the progressives and is expected to do
him great bodily harm. Another ele-
ment under the leadership of Jimmie
Gipson and John Green of Culdesac
proposes to turn the progressive vote
away from Pauline and deliver II to
James II. Brady: this in payment of
the great help Mr.. Brady's paper, the
BOISE Capital News, has given progress
sives in disrupting the republican party.
The first successful move in the latter
scheme was made last week when the
Culdesac progressives, under the leader
ship of Atty. Green, declared In favor
OF James II. Brady and against Pauline.

The Pocatello Tribune says the Ida
no County Republican committee is wi
olating the primary in issuing a letter
to the voters of the state asking sup
port of their favorite son, Judge ALL
SHE. The Inconsistency of the Tribune,
and the disconcerting position 1t gets
itself in every time 1t opens its mouth
is amusing. According to it's latest
outbreak 1t is all wrong for the COM
mittee from Judge Ailshies home coun-
ty to urge support for him, but it has
not risen in righteous indignation
against George Day. chairman of the
state committee. who would represent
all sections Of the state, putting in one
third of his time boosting Brady and
Haines. The Idaho county committee
represents one county which has a can
didate for senator while George Day
represents the whole state which has
four candidates. The one makes an
open plea for support for their home
candidate while the other used every
advantage of his position two years
ago to elect Brady and has been for
months gumshoeing the state in the in :
terest of his reelection without a word
of protest from the Tribune. With the
Tribune its what we do is all right.
but what the other fellows do is all
wrong. II the Tribune could take tum-

Ii Judge Ailshie had been accused of
perjury and the records were being
pulled on him to prove the assertion.
the Pocatello Tribune and the Capital
News would fill their front pages with
the evidence and would double deck
scare head them. There can be no
question about this and yet they are
silent as the tomb since such charges
are being laid at Brady's door. Per-
sonal attacks upon Fred Floed win not
satisfy the voters and they will find
1t out. The fact that he is a demo-
crat is no evidence that the record he
has published is false.-Weiser Signal.

JUGGLING TO COVER THE DEFICIT

With the prospect of deficit ex-
ceeding 86.O00,000 at the end of the
next fiscal year, democratic leaders in
congress have been racking their brains
for scheme to make accounts at least
appear to balance without cutting any
pork out OF appropriations. They dis
covered that of the 1854. 000, 900 so far
spent on the Panama canal $217.7S5. 1870
had been paid from the surplus of the
preceding republican administration.
They also found that to prevent lack of
funds from delaying progress on the
canal, their predecessors had author
lied the secretary of the treasury to
issue bonds las the proceeds may be
required. though he had used this au-
thority as to only about one-third of
the canal expenditures.
In the language of the street the
democrats were up against it." They
needed $40, 000. 900 to complete the canal
and its incidental structures, but We're
so far from having that much spare
cash that they had to cover up the
great deficit already mentioned. They
must perforce issue bonds for that $20,-
O00, 900. While they were about II, they
provided that bonds might be issued
not only for this sum but flor all ex-
penditures from the appropriations here
tofore, herein and hereafter made for
the construction OF the Panama canal"
That would enable them to sell bonds
to the amount of $217 .7S5, 100 additional,
to put the proceeds in the trasury and
then to brag of a surplus.
But Senator Smoot smoked out the
scheme. He pointed out that the
offered by the appropria-
tons committee authorizing bonds meant
that for every dollar that has been
paid out in the past toward the con-
,truction of the Panama canal from

LEGISLATION THAT
Will CURB TRUSTS
REOPENING OF CONGRESS- IS
CHARACTERIZED BY RUSH
OF ANTITRUST MEASURE
One Bill Prohibits InterlOcking Di.
rectOrates Among Banks and
Financial Concerns

Washington, Jan. 12.-Demand
for legislation to curb the trusts and
hostility to big industrial combina-
lions was evidenced at the reopen
ing Of Congress today through intro
duction by Representatives Mccoy,
of New Jersey, and Webb, of North
Carolina, of bills supplementing the
Sherman antitrust law. The Nc
10Y bill prohibits interlocilg 1irec-
torate among banks and financial
institutions, negotiations by banks
or their officers for sale of indus
trial securities and official connec-
tiol by private bankers with national
banks when such private bankers
are as physical agents of industrial
corporations.
Representative Webb would save
the Supreme Court rule of reason
Of what constitutes the restraint OF
trade by putting the burden of proof
on the accused of showing that the
alleged restraint did not prevent
competition, was not distrucll.o to
rivals and was not harmful to the
general public. Penal punishment
OF one year will follow conviction
under the Webb bill.

Named SOOn-TO Meet His
Cabinet Today.

On Board Presidents Specia
Train, Spartenburg, s. G. Jan. u.
On his resumption of official acti
vities in Washington, President vii.
son outlined the existing state OF
public affairs today and summarized
the work he has been doing the last
three weeks.
The Federal Reserve Board he said
he has not selected and he gave no
time to this knotty problem during his
stay at Pass Christian, despite re-
ports to the contrary.
The President has completed a
draft of his antitrust message to
Congress and may possibly deliver it
later in this week. All his plans,
however, and dependent upon the ar
rangements made by leaders of the
House and Senate for joint ses-
sion. The message will be a brief
one aid will call attention to the
measure soon to be introduced in the
House as administration measures.
The report Of the committee OF
rural credits has been digested by
the President and he approved of the
bill prepared by the committee with
some minor notifications. The
President expects to hold a confer
ence with Senator Fletcher, cnair-
man of the Commission, shortly after
lie reaches Washington.
No comment on Mexican affairs
was vouchsafed by the President, al
though he showed great interest in
reports of the rebel victory He
again emphasized the fact that nc
censure or criticism of Mr.. Onslaught
messy had marked his conference
with Mr.. Lind at Pass Christian.
A cabinet meeting will be held to-
morrow. 1t is expected that the
meeting will be devoted almost en-
tirely to the selection of a new
comptroller of the Currency, and OF
the Federal Reserve Board. 1t is
expected that John Shelton Williams
assistant secretary of the Treasury
will be appointed Comptroller soon.
The President has not yet indicated
his choice on this office, however.
The Presidents trip across Geor-
gia and the Carolinas today was
made without incident. Compare
lively few stops were made by his
special train.

JUDGE COFFIN

The death of Judge Charles Coffin,
the distinguished Arkansan, who
died in this city Sunday night, re-
moves from public life one of the
states most gifted and beloved citi-
zens. Few men enjoyed the high
esteem and popularity as did Judge
Coffin and few men were more de-
serving Of the honors conferred on
!. him Emqrb By his hon home e. people. st the
time Of his death he was q candidate
for United States senator and had
his race not been ended by the Grim
Reaper he would have doubtless
proved a strong contender for the
honor he sought. He would have
served with his usual dignity and
been credit to the state in the
Senatorial halls at the nations
capital. Judge Coffin was at one
time engaged il the newspaper bust
ness and was writer Of unusual
ability. One of his best editorials
was recently reproduced in the
Graphic and it showed his fine COM
mand Of the English language.

Congress GETS
DOWN To BUSINESS
BOTH HOUSES ENTER UPON A
LONG AND BUSY SESSION,
AFTER A BRIEF VACATION.
Measure to Correct Lobby Evils and
Resolution to Investigate Strike
Introduced.

Washington, Jan. 12.-BOth houses
of Congress dropped back into the
harness today and began to pull
heavy load of mixed legislation up
long hill. A mass of bills was intro
duced in each house. Six months Is
the prediction of conservatives as to
the length of the session, which
means that senators and representa-
tives standing for re-nOmintion and
election, cannot get into the field until
midsummer.
The Senate today took up the bill
for the construction and operation by
the government of railroad In
Alask which months ago was made
the regular order. This measure prom
ises to be productive of long discus
sion and adverse opinions. Mean
while the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee will get busy with trust legis-
lation and the banking committee
will prepare rural credit bill that
will be supplemental to the new cur
rency law.
The most important bills introduced
were by Senator Overman, correcting
lobby evils disclosed by his recent
investigating committee, and by Sena-
tor Owen, restricting the operations OF
stock exchanges.
The strike situation in the Calumet
region was brought to public atten-
ton through a proposed resolution OF
investigation bxe ssbslpr / sSphurst,
which will come up TOMORROW for con

It's action is positive, but gentle.
Millions of mothers keep this harm
