In his effort to play politics and
advance his political interest, Cover
nor Alexander spends half his time
or over attending various functions in
different parts of the state, and much
criticism of his neglect of official
duty in this manner is being INDUCED
in by citizens who come from distant
parts of the state and are compelled
to remain in Boise on expense for a
number of days until the Governor
returns that they may secure his ac-
tion in various matters and his sigma
ture to various documents. By reason
of his frequent absence, meetings of
the State Land Board, the State Elk
aiming Board and other boards of
which he is Chairman by virtue of
his office are delayed for days, as
their meetings are subject to his call.
In this way, State land loans have
been delayed for many weeks, as a
result of which the public schools of
the State lost the sum Of about fifty
dollars a day, the interest on this
money not beginning to accrue until
the money on deposit in the banks
was loaned by the board on real estate
security. In this connection, it is
to be noted that there is much specu-
lation as to the Governor s delay in
instituting suit against the bonding
company for former State Treasurer
o. V. Allen for the loss sustained by
the State through Aliens manipula-
tions. The necessary papers pre-
liminary to the instituting of the suit
have already been prepared by Capt.
E. G. Davis of the Attorney General S
office and have been ready for the
Governors action number of weeks.
Each days delay in instituting the
suit means loss of about ten dollars
to the State, as interest on the sum
sued for does not begin until suit has
been filed.

ALEXANDER IS MILLION DOLLARS

If a farmer concludes to improve
his homestead by doing $500 worth of
blowing, but changes his. mind and
don't do it, does he save $500? Cover
nor Alexander says he does. And on
this kind of buncombe Moses has
saved Idaho "More than Million
Dollars Failure to do that plow-
ing may have damaged that home
steader $1,000, and Alexnader's hot air
may cost the taxpayers of Idaho
thousands of dollars in the end. For
example, Alexander Saved Idaho
81. 400 due the First National Bank
of Moscow. Alexander repudiated
that debt. He Saved it by going
on record as in favor of dishonesty
and crooked dealing. He saved" it
by attempting to beat an honest debt.
And to cap the climax this hot air
peddler, this official repudiator. put
it down as Saved" to the taxpayers
of Idaho. AS matter of fact Idaho
still owes that debt, and until it is
eventually paid in full it is costing
the taxpayers of Idaho per cent.
interest. That is sample of Alex
ander's economy. But that is not the
worst feature of it. There is moral
principal underlying the governors
reputation of state indebtedness that
makes the financial feature sink into
insignificance. A fine example to set
before the sons and daughters of
state. Parents Will swell with pride
as they dwell over Governor Alex
ander's saving of that million dolalrs,
part of it right down dishonesty.
Another item in this "Million Dol
lar Mystery, paraded by Governor
Alexander as monument to his fin
ancial ability is one for some $36, 600
due for the states part of the cost of
fighting forest fires here in north
Idaho last season. Private citizens
advanced that money to protect state
property, and the state owes it. The
Legislature investigated the bill and
paid it. But when it came to Cover
nor Alexander, he repudiated it, and
then swelled up and paraded his vir-
tue over the state.
Did Nose Alexander save this $36,
600? Not one penny of it. He has
simply postponed the final day of set

lives of Americans on the high seas.
Mr.. Bryan insisted on a peace
policy that the president and his other
advisers thought inopportune consider
ing the acute condition growing out
of the sinking of the Lusitania and
other acts of Germany in the present
war. President Wilson has determin-
ed that the rights of the United States
must be upheld in any eventuality,
and that an immediate and unequivo-
cal position must be assumed by this
government. This policy will un-
doubtedly meet with the approval Of
large majority of the American
people. Mr.. Bryan took the position
that the war must be avoided in any
event and the time awaited whe,, all
question involved may be settled by
peaceful means. Mr.. Bryan s opinion
are entitled to respect, and the man.
ner of his resignation was high-minded
and honorable and will add to the
estimation held of him by multitudes
of Americans even though they may
not agree with him on the questions
of the hour. The issues involved
are grave and in dealing with them
the President is entitled to the pa
triotic support Of all parties and Of
the whole people.

Is there father or mother in Idaho
who will take their children on their
knees and point with pride to this
disgraceful and dishonest procedure ?
If there is any credit in repudiating
the states obligations even though it
be in the name of economy, let Alex

citizen will be party to it, nor put
the stamp of approval on it at the
polls.
