THE GRAND JURY INDICTMENT

The people Of Idaho should withhold judgment on
the men who have been indicted by the Ada county
grand jury. Indictments not convictions. limo

ton the part of the grand jury that the evidence
against the indicted is such to warrant his
rest and trial In times gone past, prosecuting attor-
neys, manipulated grand juries such extent that
the grand jury system fell into disrespect and

on shipboard with his family coming
across the Pacific to America; among
the other passengers was one who
claimed to be clergyman, who was
loud-mouthed, and monopolized the
conversation several days at the Cap

work in far-eastern lands, Japan in
particular, and ridiculed it, and as

DDS of a trckster. This report made by Alex
Ramstedt and apparently for the purpose of getting
even with men who stood in his way. Attorney Cen
eral Peterson calls attention the way in which he
accomplished his purpose in the interview which was
published in the last issue Of The Tribune. This
simply by sandwiching in the Of like
Peterson with the Of Allen and Coleman. A
great many people do read such reports carefully
They draw conclusions 1t is sufficient for 10

ence that Attorney General Peterson and Auditor
Huston had looted the treasury He dared not make
such charge openly and he resorted to insinuation
thus showing at once his own subserviency, viany
and cowardce.

fact that it is highly desirable that Canyon County

attract of the visitors to this section of Idaho

people will visit the exposition from east OF the Rocky

greatest number of visitors The people attend
the exposition and there get idea of the nature and
resources Of the different sections Of the west The
best exhibit will provoke them to further investiga

NEW IDEAS OF PRESIDENT WILSON

In his address President Wilson stated that the
Republican party had not had new idea in thirty
years The President is right in way The Repub-
lcan party had idea that tax neces-
sary in time Of peace 1t advanced the theory
that governmental economy and appropriations
to the amount of $1OOODOO0 were synonymous. 1t
advocated that nonnterference in country
accomplished by using every means to Gust one
and afterwards actually invading the country. 1t
argued that support of party platform meant
the repudon of its individual planks. 1t up
held the civil service in public and practced the spos
system in private. All these ideas discovered
and patented by Woodrow himself. He has the sole
claim them.

IT IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.

"Now | am for the 80 per cent. 1t is of my
business and it is of your business, how long
they take in determining it. 1t is of my bust
ness and of yours how they go about the bust
The country is theirs. The government theirs
The liberty if they get t-and God speed them in
getting it's theirs"
The foregoing is extract from the speech which
President Wilson delivered at Indianapolis 1t is too
bad that he did ascertain his business and bus
mess years ago 1t is bad that he did
slider his business before driving out Huerta Selling
Vera Cruz. The president of the United States seems
to be built upon most flimsy foundation. There is
stability about him. He goes ahead backs down;
twists and squirms He either does not know what
do the proper of doing it. He is
present a parsonage in whom the American people
take any particular pride. He is about the linn
pis being that has been president of the United
States.

To escape submarines, the Espagne

Among the passengers were DR..
