drafted by state interests and should
not be drafted by professional extrem-
lists. 1t is regrettable to find Governor
Alexander giving himself over to {

enough over the subject at best and
the time has come when sensible mel
must do the best, not the worst, the,

RESIGNATION OF MAJOR REED

The state of Idaho has appropriated
500 900 to be expended in advertising
its industries and resources at the
Panama Pacific exposition. The
greater part of the work of pre-
pairing an exhibit-the part that re-
CURED the power of initiative and ex-
ecutive ability-has been accomplished
The Idaho building was the first to be
completed on the exposition grounds
and for many months the state has
been receiving incaleulahle benefit on
account of the energy and enterprise
shown by Major r. Reed the executive
ground and are rapidly being placed
in position in conformity with plans
approved by Mayor Reed. The big
exposition win be formally opened on
February 20, less than month, and ii
is too late now, even if it were desir-
able, to make any material changes in
the plans. SO whatever of credit at
taches to the exhibit made by the state
of Idaho must go to Major Reed and
his assistants in charge Of the several
departments. Under these circum-
stances it would appear that the bes
interests of the state would have been
served and spirit of fairness shown
by the governor if Major Reed haa
been permitted to retain the positlo,
Of executive commissioner Having
accomplished the heavy work. he was
certainly entitled to the honors tina
win follow as the result II his efforts
But fairness has no weight in tht
presence of political expedency. Lik,
the illustrious apostle of democracy in
the department of srate, Governo
Alexander knows the value of political
workers and the necessity of providing
rewards for them.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1915-01-28

This win be the situation when the
constitutional amendment will be sub
mitted to the people, and 1t is safe tu
predict that a large number who would
normally support 1t will vote against
II rather than vote to continue what
appears to them a useless effort to
enforce the law A constitutional
amendment submitted to the people Is
the proper solution of the question,
If IT passes, the. question is then set
tied for term OF years in which time
the power of the state to enforce II
would be thoroughly tested. A prohi-
bition law passed by the Legislature
simply means that its repeal will be
the overshadowing issue in each sue
ceeding election and that the trouble
some liquor question will remain un-
settled. If the state Is voted dry by
constitutional amendment, 1t will re-
main dry until the people can vote
upon the question again, which will
be at least four years, unless special
election should be called, which Is not
likely. In that time the law will have
been thoroughly tried out. To force
the law through the legislature now
may in the end defeat the prohibition
amendment, and in that event it Is
more than likely that the legislature
elected at the same time would repeal
the law.

THE IDAHO METHOD.

tSeattle st-Intelligencer)
Idaho is taking the extreme methot
4 securing necessary reforms in loca
government methods by sending somr
Il its officials to the state peniteniarS
for lndeterminate terms. While this
method is a strong corrective it is
beneficial to the whole body of office
holders in Che reminder that public of.
fee has some obligations to the pub
Ilic and Is not merely matter of per
Isonal exploitation and enrichment
Idaho, however, is fortunate In being
liable to apply the direct remedy 1t is
not often that the crooked official be-
comes so coarse in his work as to lay
himself open to conviction under the
criminal laws.
The bane of government today is not
the coarse crook who helps himself, bu'
Gather the smooth strategist who pro-
cures, by indirection and evasion Of
he intent of law, the same result with
nut undue risk to his liberty
There is variety of surface official
honesty and compliance with law that
is much more dangerous to the public
treasury than the plain crook with the
Jimmy or the brazen official with the
openly predatory fingers. It has been
round possible to practice a sedulous
and surface observation Of law that
produces generous dividends for the
participants and yet makes punish
ment difficult.
While the greater portion of tho
public service Is honest and competent
md conscientious, there Is enough O.
the predatory kind to make public
business expensive and burdensome. 1t
would be long step in the direction Of
Improvement in present conditions e
this element could be induced to reach
directly into the public purse for plum
der instead Of procuring 1t by indirec-
lion, so that the Idaho remedy might
be invoked.
The taxpaying public may save it,
self much expense II 1t shall attend to
The selectlOn Of public officials with
more diligence and circumspection.
and elect no man to public Office who
has not clear record of honorable
effort and accomplishment behind him.
The political checker player and
strategist must be shelved, and the
straightforward efficient and capable
business man must be induced to take
MS place, Otherwise we shall continue
10 pay tribute of our savings and
handicap our future.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1915-01-28

nor removed the suspicion that money
and questionable deals still play an I'M
,portant part in some senatorial cleo
tions. In fact t,iere is no material
change in the situation. Under the old
method the election of senator was
generally fair and represented tha
choice Of the people and the same
thing is trune under the present .sys-
tenn, All of which goes TO show that
the fathers in framing our plan of gov
lernment were wiser than the modern
refor.-lers who lose much sleep devils

injustice and burdens of government
which do not exist

PROHIBITION BY LEGISLATIVE
ACT is A MISTAKE.

Not satisfied with the acti9n of the
legislature in passing a resolution
submitting the question of state wide
prohibition in the form of a consti-
tutional amendment, the radical anti
saloon advocates seem determined to
pass prohibition law to take effect
long before the people have o Chance
to vote on the question. with twenty
three members of the lower house
committed to the measure, 1t is likely
that the necessary SO, which consti-
tutes a majority in the house, viii be
secured The prospect in the senate
is not so favorable, but 1t is possible
that it VIII pass that body also,
1t is strange that the sane and con-
sentative temperance element cannot
see that such a law may in its ulti-
mate effect operate against the adop-
tion of prohibition by constitutional
amendment. If this bin becomes law
it viii close the saloons in many places
where dominant sentiment Is against
it, and in other places where the senti-
ment is about equally divided, thus
making Its enforcement practically
impossible. In such places bootlegging
will prevail to an extent tha,t win be
even more demoralizing than the sa-
looms. presenting an object lesson that
VIII convince many voters who are
now disposed to support constitut-
ional amendment that It Is impossible
70 enforce a prohibition law and that
the licensed saloon is preferable 10
continuing the attempt.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1915-01-28

1t now seems reasonably certain that
a law will be passed amending the di-
rect primary law so that candidates for
presidential electors, United States
senator, representative in congress and
all state officers will be nominated by
a state convention, the delegates to
such convention being selected BY
county conventions made up Of dele
gates elected by primay election. This
will be in response to what
appears to be the overwhelming senti-
ment of the people of the state, for the
absolute failure of the direct primary
as applied to the nomination Of state
candidates Is now quite generally con-
coded. To go further than this at this
time in changing the direct primary
law would probably invite opposition
that would be able to defeat any
amendment, and for this reason the
trainers of the amendment were wise
in stopping with providing the conyen-
ton plan for state officers only. But
In the opinion of Tho Miner, the same
argument that applies to state officers
applies in great measure to county
officers, and with this first break made
In the direct primary law, we believe
| 1t will only be a question of time wher
the convention plan will also be rein
stated for the counties, safeguarded
however, with stringent law that will
insure the utmost freedom and fairness
in the election of delegates to the coun
ty conventions and thus prevent the
abuses that prevailed under he ole
system For the present the amend
ment now before the legislature goes
far enough.

FROM STATESMAN TO SPOKESMAN

In attempting to justify his frequent
appearance on the lecture platform
when affairs Of state should have been
occupying his exclusive attention, Sec
rotary Bryan stated that his salary of
$4,000 per year was not sufficient tt
meet his living expenses, and for that
reason he was forced to earn few dol
lars on the side in order to maintain
his household at proper standard.
This reason was not very satisfactory
to the faithful who had long heard him
harp on dollar banquets and how his
heart throbbed in unison with the
common people. II was indeed hard to
reconcile his new position with the
ideals of the simple life he so long adj
vocated, but as a rule he continued L.

or of the democratic faith. But the
Santo Domingo affair is likely te.prove
too much for even his most ardent sup
porters for the revelations have at
ready disclosed Mr.. Bryan in the at
titude of politician with no higher
purpose than the distribution of the
spoils Of office among those who hav,
worked for the success of the demo-
cratic party Qualifications cut nc
figure so long as they have delivered
democratic votes. In letter to Walter
r. Wick at Santo Domingo, Mr. Bryan
said:
Now that you have arrived and ar,
acquainting yourself with the situd
tion can you let me know what posi-
tons you have at your disposal with
which to reward deserving democrats
Whenever YOU desire suggestion
from me in regard to man for any
place there, call on me. You have had
enough experience In politics to know
how valuable workers are when the
is on and how difficult 1t Is
to find suitable rewards for all the
The appointment of Mr. Sullivan as
to that much exploited coun-
try was made by Mr. Bryan and the
of his conduct has showr
that he Is using his position for tn,

ALEXANDER AND PROHIBITION.

ROAD APPROPRIATION.

The Miner believes the legislature
should make the appropriation of $685..
600 asked by the people of Shohsone
and Kootenai counties for the COM
pletion of the national highway
through Fourth of July canyon, be-
cause II is in a sense a public neces
sity and will prove an important fac
tor in bringing people to the state,
That is the view that must be inn
pressed upon the legislature in order
to secure favorable results. 1t is
nothing to the legislature, SO far as
this proposed appropriation is con-
cerned, that in the past three quarters
Of million dollars has been appro-
priated to build roads and construct
bridges in other counties and that not
a dollar. has been appropriated for
similar purposes for the benefit Of
Shoshone county; nor is 1t matter
of any particular concern to the leg
islature that this county has paid q
million dollars into the state treasury
without any comeback in the way OF
appropriations. Maybe we have paid
more than a just share of state taxes,
but that is another question and II
not involved in the road appropriation,
nor is the failure Of this county to
get appropriations for roads and
bridges, for we have had no occasion
TO ask for them.
The last session of the legislature
made an appropriation for this Fourth
Of July canyon road. but the governor
failed to give the bin his approval
The fact that the people Of both Sho-
shone and Kootenai counties have ex>
pended much money in making this
road fit fer travel is the best evidence
of the good faith of the petitioners
While their work has accomplished
much good, 1t has also demonstrated
that the building Of a good highway
through the canyon is too large an un-
dertaking for these two counties alone
That the state of Idaho viii receive
real benefit by the completion of this
national highway across 1t does not
admit of a doubt, and 1t is therefore
proper that the state should contrib
ute directly toward It's construction.
