IN THE MATTER OF THE "rAxLEss DREAM

"Senator ID. w. Davis, President of the First
National Bank of American Falls who is candidate
for Governor, proposes that this land be sold more
rapidly. He would sell the land at such rate that
it would be all disposed of in 10 Is and paid
for in 40 or so years thereafter Senator Davis is
shrewd, successful, sincere. He loves borrowers be-
they the most enterprising especially in
country Wood River Times.
The Wood River Times says further that the land would
be sold at auction to the highest bidder above the $40
constitutional minimum and the proceeds would then be loaned
to farmers at per cent, or less.
These not all the might be- assertions although they
all that the Times makes The land of the state might be
sold farmers and might Lumber interests might be
in the selling buying they in the past And
further the proceeds might be- in the future in the past loan
ed relatives friends and supporters of the state land board
not exceed 1873 cent of the value Of the property
etc.
Nevertheless the Times is earnest about this and the
candidacy of d. W. Davis exponent of the taxess Dream
somwhat dmy outlined above. The question still remains
who be trusted do this job after the candidate gets
of the difficulties imposed by law and constitution pro-
vdng that the proceeds of state lands to be used solely for
state school purposes? The handling of state AFFAIRS lands
treasury funds and the like in the past has not been fortunate
profitable for the people under republican Many
of the old gang still hold the fort
After all it is beginning to look reasonable to hold
those lands There has not been blamed stolen except
what has been converted into the of the realm Those
pamed politicians cannot be trusted Davis must have
issue but will be cheaper and safer for the state to hold its
lands For example, banker he might advocate passing
law making interest rates by banks cent
This would prove popular with the people The extra
four or five per cent saved might pay their taxes

MR.. HUGHES ON MEXICO.

If the Mexican policy of the present administration had
been of the character described by Mr. Hughes in his speeches
delivered in Montana and elsewhere there be doubt
that the citizens of this country would have just to
crtcse Mr. Wilson's but the plain turth that the
republican presidential candidate builds up straw and
then proceeds to demolish it.
He does not the actual facts concerning this vexed
Mexican question and unfortunately for his reputation
he missates what has really happened regard thereto
The New York World last Wednesday, in the of two
articles severely aagns the republican nominee for his mis-
leading statements concerning this situation and nasmuch
Mr. Hughes repeated much of these false declarations this
city the day before yesterday appears only timely quote

able, that ideal character Villa.-Mr. Hughes at

of the United States ought to be scrupuousy careful
not to falsify the record No recognition with
drawn from Huerta, because he recognized.
No recognition was extended to Villa because he was
never recognized In short sentence Mr. Hughes
has made two fragrant misstatements as to fact.

the bench should be careful of his utterances and
verify his statements before making them

HUGHES SPEECH DISAPPOINTING

The thousands who heard Charles E. Hughes speak loot
night the Arena disappointed They realized that
oraorcay his address admirable but they came aw
with definite impression that the republican candidate had
offered single constructive suggestion the course of M
remarks
Tied to the political fortunes of party and no candidate
the Times feels view the national presidential camppn
mparay and does not hesitate to declare that the New
Yorker cannot make winning fight program of destructive
criticism The public is to being advised of errors
the Wilson administrator but it desires to know what his
opponent would have done under the circumstances and
particular what he proposes to do in the event that
elected next November
The greatest applause aroused by of his remarks fol-
lowed his reference to Alaska and the tariff Here was his
opportunity lay before the people of the northwest his views
these two great questions Instead he contended himself
with brief and remarkably vague generalties He did not
make constructive suggestion and he snguarly re-
served his comment upon conditions developed by the demo
Gratis during the next administration.
In point of fact the republican candidate is meeting the
issues raised by his democratic opponents He is not giving
the republicans the sort of leadership that spells victory His
address last night substantially the that delivered
at other places his western tour 1t excited favorable
ment when first delivered because it considered
introduction to later remarks which would acquant the people
with his stand the big issues of the day. He has full
filled those expectations The Times remarked in
his acceptance address, that it lacked force vgo cons
tveness and defneness Identicaly the criticism
be made of the address delivered at the Arena
Ii last nights speech is the best that Mr. Hughes has
offer the American people, there every to credit the
assertion OF eastern observers who predict comparatively
easy victory for Mr. Wilson in that section Furthermore
is not at all improbable that the G. O. p majores in the
strongly republican western states will be materially reduced

Alexander The feat is accomplished they assert They say
he has issue That the Democrats could not unite

promised figure.
Suppose that these little quips of the politicians be
considered seriously and let be presumed contrary the
facts that Governor Alexander is not satisfactory the
independent voter who is free from the necessity of fol
lowing politics for living by office seeking accepting the
crumbs from the masters table otherwise. Suppose the
voter looks the republican lists and what will he discovers
He will discover four republican candidates the for

closed meeting in Pocatelo in which Boss Hart Brady and
Borah represented and the proceedings leaked D. W.

to sell all the states lands under his plan the proceeds to be
used presumably for treasury defacaon and
for manipulation of corrupt state land board This Boss

HUGHES AND MEXICO.

Senator Lewis from Illinois, when he made the assertion
the in speech delivered August 5th that republican
structures upon administration little than treason
able put the matter in straightforward way and backed his
words with the facts.
Issueess the party resolved to make issue Without
principle behind him. Candidate Hughes deserted principle in
his campaign Caring nothing for the desnes OF the
Mexicans whom the party and it's forces would crush with
military force and deliver the slaves to their masters IN re-
turn possible campaign contribution, Hughes and his
hackers shown less consideration for the we'll being
of America.
The President confronted hand by horrible con-
dtions in Mexico bordering anarchy, and in the United
States by critics of the most unAmecan type, who indicate
in their written and every spoken word that
they opposing the nations head for political advantage
This from their attitude in crtcising everything and
chasing all bad without concerning themselves about
costing remedy or Improvement
The Mexican people when confronted with appeal that
they accept something for their welfare laugh and point
to in land, professedy American lead by former
justice of the Supreme Court and all yappng like acka and
bending influence to undermine the and Influence
of the president and government
And is Senator Lewis asserts in his speech
that when Republicans shot president Mexican bandits
shot at soldiers and following the assault OF Root the
New York state republican convention the Mexican bandits
became by day mureou and showed their attitude
by participation in raids and murders.
The candidate Huges shows in his ward heller retrograd
ing political tactics that he is nothing than narrow
critic He carped about refusing to recognize the murderer
Hue then to the yelled assertion that the only remedy
for Mexican ills is intervention Then he denounces the send
ing Of the punitive expedition following the Columbus incident
presence guardsmen border being
unnecessary, and in all his speechmakng
noucing what he would have done would do
"Denounce the president to Mexicofor that is the is
Make contemtibe your country before the world
whenever cantor that is the issue Humiae your
fellow by holding his country and his president before
the world unworthy of support of his counymen the
respect of foreigners These the words Senator Lewis
used in expressing it. Those the tactics used by Mr.
Hughes Would such attitude the part of of the
con proessed greatest backed by the bosses of his
party, opponent nation greater opposition
Would not to inspire belief that the president has
support in Furnishing murderers Is that illustration of
what ''Americansm' to Candidate Hughes? Is it
justified even by desperate need of an issue?
All this is being done to elect bosses tool All for
party advantage Nothing for Mexico humanity America
How desperate Charles Evans Hughes and his supporters
How small their outlook for success must be.

Huesta who has now taken his place among the remh
Ecan saints
In his Detroit speech Mr.. Hughes was unable -
control his passionate indignation at the iniouitv Of
President Wilson in refusing to recognize the docr
of government by assassination. Such refusal b
filled Hughes with deep sense of shame"
Now it is possible that Huerta ought to have bn
recognized the theory that if Booth had been abl
to seize the government of the United States aftar
the assassination of Lincoln he ought to have been
president that Guiteau ought to have been the sno
cessor of President Garfield and that Czogoz shonla
have taken President McKnleys place in the Whit
House.
Mr. Hughes should either revise that part of his s !,
referring Mexico he should drop the subject atope
it certainly do him good to go the country
ing incorrect references concerning attempting to end
the brief administration Of crime naugurated by General
Huerta.
One trouble with many remarks made by the repuh;o
standard bearer appears be that he has jumped to
without sufficient consideration and without that regard for
the truth that is expected of seeking high political o
