How did he turn the trick?


This is one of the vital questions
in Idaho politics since the general
election. Of course the reference is
to your governor, men and women.
The Caldwell Tribune publishes a
letter from one of its readers in Bear
Lake county which explains how
'your governor slipped it over.
This letter should be carefully studied
by all aspiring statesmen in Idaho.
Here it is
Governor Alexander visited us
recently. One day he called at our
district school house alone, unheralded; /;
like the raven he came a rapping at
the door. He respectfully informed
the young lady teacher that the gov
e,nor of the great state of Idaho was
without and would like to address the
children for a few minutes. OF
course he was cordially invited to
come in and speak to the children.
The governors remarks were about as
follows:

Its Our Soil.

Frank Carey Of Cream ridge was in

his beans proved most profitable
crop this year, 40 acres bringing him
$1,000. Mr.. Carey called attention to a
feature of bean raising that is worth
considering, namely, that beans en-
rich the land, and may be grown con-
tinuously on land. He says that
beans, followed by wheat or other
grain, shows increased yield, evidence

NEWLAFDS
NOT ALONE

Over At Winnemueca the Silver state
thinks Senator Newlands would be a
Republican if he were a private citi-
zen. Well, he is not a private citizen
ard he is not a Republican. He Is a
strong Democrat, a leader in his party.
That he does not approve Of the ad-
ministration 8 policies is a very impor-
tant fact.
Another Democrat who does not ap-
prove Of the policies and practices Of
the Democratic administration is Mr..
William Jennings Bryan. Of less prom
i%nence, but still looming large in that
party's affairs, Mr.. Claude kitehin Of
North Carolina, Democratic leader Of
the lower house Of Congress, might be
called to mind. Then there is Mr.. Wal
ter Lewis Hensley Of Missouri-per-
haps the Silver State will admit that
the distinguished representative of the
18th district from that state occupies
some prominence in Democratic affairs.
Well, he's forninst his party, just as
Finley Gray of Indiana is-another
Democrat who ranks high.
The Gazette mentions these names
lust as they occur to memory, but, now
that he thinks of it, Editor Harroun
will have TO concede that, in dissatis-
faction with the course pursued by the
Democratic party, Senator Newlands is
not alone. It might be mentioned in
this connection that when the election
shall take place ext November, it will
he seen that several million Democrats
feel just the way that Senator New
lands, William Jennings Bryan, Claude
Kitehin and other party leaders do
Reno Gazette.
But there is a difference between
Senator Newlands and the other dis
senters mentioned. The fundamental
principle of Democracy is Free Trade,
and by this single tenet is judged a
mans party fealty. While Messrs.
Bryan, Kitchin, Lewis and Gray may
rot agree with nearly all Of the policies
Of President Wilson, still they are
Free Traders, and accordingly sound
Democrats. Not so, howeer, with Sena
tor Newlands. Instead of being a Free
Trader, all of his public u%tterances
would go to indicate that, while posi-
lily hardly a straight out Proteetionist,
lie is by no means in accord with his
party on the tariff question, and is,
therefore, more Republican than Demo
crat, for that is the single fundamental
difference between the two parties. All
other policies are settled as they arise,
and occasionally we find both parties
in accord, but since the question of
slavery was settled, the Tariff has been
the only clearly defined issue between
the two great political parties.

DEMOCRATIC
CANOE CONTINUES

When Democratic hard times hit the
country, after the passage of the I'm
Gerwood tariff law, laboring men and
others whose incomes were curtailed
were compelled to eeonomize. Not so
the Democratic Congress, which made
appropriations upon a scale of extrava
gance never before equalled. Within
the last year "war brides" have
bvened up some communities and in
some localities times are better. Not
so in the federal treasury, which now
has fifty millions Of deficit and which
will have more than twice as much at
the end of the fiscal year. Yet the
Democrats in Congress show no signs
Of trying to fit their expenditures to
the income.
The number and amount of appro-
priations are little short Of appalling,
considering the condition Of the treas
ury-and the significant fact is that
most of the raids on the public funds
which Democratic Congressman con
template are wholly to be classified as
''pork."
An examination of the file of printed
bills introduced by Democrats in Con
gIess on the first day of the present
session and calling for money from the
treasury for private or selfish or politi-
cal reasons, shows the documents to
be a vivid commentary upon the inge-
nuity of Democratic statesmen in de.
vising schemes to get public funds for
their own political benefit and for the
benefit of their communities.
These bills also produce additiona'
evidence, if any were needed, that tn,
South is in the saddle and that tn,
great bulk of Federal ''pork" none,
is designed to be distributed in tn,
Southern states. For instance, a Rep
resentative from Arkansas propose

Gratis asked from the treasury on the

Their Northern brethren were more
modest, knowing, doubtless, that they
have few rights in the party organiza-
tion, which is differed almost exclus-
lively from the South. Yet Northern
Democrats, on the first day of the ses-
sion, came forward with a varied list
OF demands for "pork," ranging from
an annual sum of $4,00O,0O0 for a mill
tary training camp in each state down
to $4,000 for a commission to investi-
