STATE HOUSE INVESTIGATION.

There must be no covering up in the
Investigation Of the state house, and no
department should be overlooked Two
men have already pleaded guilty to
looting the public treasury, and the
preliminary investigation has disclosed
that there Is evidence that other Off
Gals either shared in the treasury loot
or were doing more or less plunderine
on their own account. What the peo-
pie want now Is the facts which will
open the way to punish the guilty anu
free the innocent from suspicion
They want nothing held back, and no
man shielded from the disgrace and
penalty Of his misdeeds. Political con-
siderations have no place In the in
vestigation. Officers who violate the
trust placed In them by the people for
felt all claim to the support of the DO
litical organization which elevated
them to office, This does not mean
that officers under suspicion are to be
condemned In advance OF a thorough
investigation. 1t means that those
conducting the Investigation must not
permit political considerations or pol
itical friendships to interfere with the
work in hand that the investigation
must be thorough and go to the bot
tom, regardless of who will be caught
in the dragnet.

THE UTILITIES COMMISSION.

There has been considerable talk
throughout the state which indicates
that an effort Will be made to abolish
the utilities commission during the
coming session of the legislature The
opposition to the commission seems to
have mainly grown out OF a ruling
which had the effect of giving one big
hydro-elect power company mon
opoly of large. profitable and rapidly
growing field in south Idaho. There Is
nothing to be said in support of this
particular decision. and as the case has
been reopened 1t is altogether likely
that the commission as at present
constituted will reverse it and open
the field for competition.
That this ruling was a serious mis-
take and in some respects directly on
posed to the spirit of the law which
created the commission is generally
but it does not follow that
me commission should be abolished on
nat account 1t has served a most
lseful purpose in many other cases.

factory to practically all citizens who
have given attention to its operation,
and the real question is whether the
law shall be radically amended and
yet retain the direct primary system
Of nominating candidates, or whether
the entire system shall be abolished
and the convention plan of selecting
delegates be restored with such safe
guards that will effectually prevent
abuses that formerly prevailed, or any
other abuses that would defeat the
will Of the people.
The plan proposed in the law drafted
by Captain Davis provides for nomin-
lting candidates for state offices by
convention the delegates to the con-
'ention to be elected at primary cleo
ton. But he retains the primary cleo
ion for thes nomination of candidates
for county offices, but we can see no
good reason for this except to placate

primary system and who might be. in

With that accomplished the conven-
ton system is the most perfect one
yet devised for giving expression to
the Will of the people. and at the same
time makes 1t possible for men of mod
crate means to seek any flee to which
they may aspire with less ADVANTAGE

the same time the convention system
imposes no burden upon the taxpayers

serious objections to it, to say moth

GIVE THE COUNTRY A REST.

In the course of a speech the other
day Senator Sherman of Illinois, sum
med up the signs of the times in this
paragraph which seems to size up the
situation about right:
Il think this country is surfeited
with essayists, with professors of eco
Monies, with gentlemen who ride hob
bies, with Chautauqua performers,
with those who are enamored of the
cries, who are statesmen on paper and
In parlors, but who are totally unable
to deal with men and with actual con-
ditions and things as then present
themselves in government. The fore
going classification covers a large
number of agltators in this country
who purpose to regenerate mankind by
passing resolutions and who on plat
forms are celebrated mostly for the
sensations they create among audi
ences wherein tho gate money is the
and the text of the address
arranged to draw the sensation loving
populace."

! The action of President Wilson in

might be used for the benefit of an
army or navy, meets with hearty APP

firm and dignified language the pres
ident makes 1t clear that while this in
reference with American commerce
and seizure of American goods form a
basis for a demand for indemnity
which in due time. will be made, vet
the payment of indemnity Is not the
question at issue now. The real ques
ton Is the rights of American ships on
the high seas, and after waiting five
months for proper recognition of these
rights, the president has now defined
them In detail and. demanded that they
