IDAHO EDITOR IN ERROR.
{ Butte Miner.

Pocaeo Tribune might be concerning happenings down in
Pocaeo and III other parts of Idaho woeuv lacking in
knowledge of Montana conditions and Miner regrets that
ac Tor often that gentleman has manifested fairly good udg
ment and rather estimable intelligence
He is of the Idaho writer's who think that Montana
acted unduy precpatey unusty forth in beno NJ
terry unwilling to concede that Senator Borah of Idaho was
right when he made the claim had not been for tho
war tins nation would have been simply awful shape or sent
ment and words to that effect and in thinking that he was
somewhat of his base when he said the next campaign woud
oe one OF ree soup and bread theory of that nature
one OF the Montana newspaper editorials the subject
I memory serves right, thinks it appeared in of
Tue AMY eded bozeman publications. came under
the eye of the Pocatelo editor question and he forthwith
started IN to ambast Montana and rything Montanan
lie SAID that Montana had right to claim it was nros
porous because OF natural conditions his argument being that
the war had not come Montana would be in very bad
shape ' %"
ana t before the war started and helped Montana out this
state was beset with rgul fights between W. Wsm and
some oter ism STRIVING to control the state and-wel he
sure Montana the way the everlasting bowwous
the war had not when it did
therefore ms argument is that Montana having benefited
oy the war; has no right to set itself up prosperous state
ana express the opinion that other states are
pering. - r
Of coure, that Pocatelo editor is all in the wrong
lie does not know thing about the conditions were
IN Montana before the has he very good idea of what
is doing here = ~
when 1t comes to producing commodities and
inc rest OF his argument it to the absolute belief
at ne IS trying to convey the impression that despite Idaho
greatness as producing state it is prosperous
lie IS doing his state great injustice
Idaho residents certainly will like the way he is NAL
gnng his state by inference giving those outside Of
a bad impression of conditions there
mat IS for Idaho editor to inspire confidence IN
the welfare of his state
That Montana is Wonderfully nros,orons now = E.
that cannot be denied "
That would have been prosperous without war in Euron
is likewise true '''' ""' III EUROPE
That editor when he says that Montana was torn nv dis
senslon that it dull that its mining industry was in had
is utterly ridiculous o' ''
or certain period Montana copper production was some
4, a'aeo, ana yet even then Montana enjoyed greater
actual prosperity than any other in the Union
AND let 1t nev"r for moment be forgotten that sueb err
tallment the sut national conditions bronob abt
by adverse uence that desperate renbEean b;
ana amt administration force could bring to bear :
II was period of proper establishments under national
publican sway. =
And the nation beginning to work itself we'll ont Of
that position when the broke American products
took unprecedented squirt.
The republican publications. indeed waro try;,o ~ ID Ill
aey could to urge pancky times when Mr. Wilson took the
office of president of them being willing to sacrifice he
nations interests in order to bolster their failing political
prestige % f y
The republican papers, indeed would like to have the g
brought TO desperate condition order enable them
urge the restoring OF republican machine control national
affairs. " ~ u
But despite the fact that insane incapable and snne
less republican administration left nation on the verge Of
panic ana passed all the important problems it have
tackled on to the succeeding democratic administration those
problems nave been met and solved in excellent the
hatoha administration and the republic stands -
ort more prosperous with force effect than ever
Almost enraged because the panic it tried bring about
allied to maeriaize the republican national machine tries 70
credt the national administration by claiming that the a
Lao not broken out the democratic national administration p
would have failed. IL
The republca machine is merely making bad pnass Of i n
The declaration is only based what the republican
nachine hoped for but which did not develop ms
And IN the vital and nerverackng complications
tne war brought up to this nation the democratic admin
straon acted just right while any of republican admin in
tratlon would have entirely mshanded them-Taft would TT
fallen down badly in trying solve any one of them and
roosevelt would have plunged the into sasterous war
