torict and his wife
The arrest OF Mariana followed the
prosecutions OF George Hammond,
alias Boozer, and woman who is said
to be his wife on charges Of grand
larceny. Hammond pleaded guilty in
the Superior court. He was sentenced
to serve from one to fifteen years in
the penltentiary. The trial OF the
woman will be held soon.
Detective Bianchi says Mariana was
married to his woman, who is listed
in the rogues' gallery as Rose Ham
mond. but disappeared after the San
Francisco murder.
Marlano's interest in this case and
at the time of the arrest OF Hammond
and the woman in Tacoma last Sep
TENDER aroused the suspicious OF De-
tective Bianchi, who had been working
on the case for several months.
Tip from Kansas City.
Several days ago the Seattle police
wired the police OF Kansas City, Mo-,
where the woman, under the name Of
Violet Caffeine, was arrested on a
charge of shoplifting. Acting Captain
OF Detectives Kent receiced letter
from the Kansas City police giving
the desired information and adding
that the woman's husband. James
Caffeine" was wanted in San Francisco
for murder.
Captain Kent and Detective Bianchi
Immediately started search OF the
cabinets for the circular sent out by
the San Francisco police, which con-
tanned the photograph OF the slayer.
The Kansas City police had forwarded
a photograph of the Hammond woman
to Seattle.
The detectives finally found the cir
cular and the arrest of Mariana fol-
lowed.

In the same issue appears the fol
lowing: "The attitude of the War De

by Judge Advocate General Crowder
In which he holds that condition OF

The following is General Crowder's

WHY THEY
HATE SENA-
TOR BORAH

Boise, Idaho.-There were three out
standing features connected with the
last week of the political campaign in
Idaho
First the unmstakable trend of
sentiment away from Governor Alex
aLder in all South Idaho cou1-es
where he was strongest two wears
ago. notably Ada, Canyon. Washing
ton and Twin Falls.
Second, the growing sentiment for
Hughes in the State was further re-
Elected by the fact that the Capital
News came out strongly for the Re-
publican candidate for President al
tho it is an Independent Democratic
paper. 1t urges his election as he only
means of preventing return, after
the European war, of the hard times
that were experienced in this coun-
try under the Wilson administration
before the war began.
SLAP AT BORAH
The third feature has to do with a
movement of considerable proportion
that is said to have been started by
President Wilson himself and direct
ed against Senator Borah of Idaho.
1t will be recalled that former Sena
tor Fred T. Dubois recently visited
Idaho in the interest of the Wilson
campaign.
WHY THEY HATE BORAH
Senator Borah has been the most
active and effective speaker against
Wilson during the campaign. He has
spoken all over the country and has
flayed Wilson unmercifully. This has
aroused spirit of bitter retaliation
and, acting upon the wishes Of the
President himself, the National Demo
cratic managers, two weeks ago set
the machinery in motion with the
purpose not only to capture for VIII
son the electoral vote of Idaho, nor
mally a Republican State, which is
apparently a minor consideration, but
to "get Borah," humiliate him in his
own State, discredit him in the Nation,
weaken his influence as leader in
Congress and lay the foundation for
his possible defeat two years hence.
REPUBLICANS AROUSED
These disclosures have created
profound impression in the Capital
City and in all places in the State
where the facts have become known.
Because of this unusual attack and
the motives behind it, it is barely pos
sible the National committee will re-
lease Senator Borah from his engage
ment so that he may make few
more speeches in Idaho and assist in
carrying Idaho for Hughes.
REPORTS FROM THE NORTH
Especially encouraging are the re-
ports from North Idaho. Hughes and
Davis, according to carefully checked
reports to headquarters here, will car
ry every county in the North, with the
possible exception of two, by substan-
tial majorities.

FALSE CLAIM ON PROHIBITION

Governor Alexander Claims to be
"the father of prohibition" This is
an absurd claim in the light Of the
fact that all parties were pledged to
prohibition and that the legislature
who passed the law would have pass
ed over his Veto
Moreover, in the campaign Of 1914,
at Nampa, he was challenged at open
meeting to state his position on pro-
hibition and he did not do SO. He
never came out for prohibition until
it proved popular.
On the contrary, d. w. Davis, Re
publican candidate for Governor, has
always been for prohibition and was
successfully fighting for prohibition
in his home town of American Falls
when prohibition was unpopular.
He put the saloons out Of business
in that town when 1t was not only
unpopular to be a prohibitionist, but
when it resulted in serious business
loss to him.
About that same time, Governor
Alexander, as mayor Of Boise, was
permitting the city to run wide open.
So fragrant was this that on his re-
tirement from office, the Capital News
referred to the Alexander regime Al

WHY NOT
RAISE THE
STANDARD

1t is unfortunate that men who hold
to and practice praiseworthy ideals
in professional, business and private
life do things in politics that in any
other connection they would scorn to
do and that they countenance and ap-
prove actions affecting politics that
they would be quick to condemn if
directed to other channels
1t is unfortunate, because politics
is SO inseparably part of the science
of government and because govern
ment can never approximate proper
standard SO long as it's most essential
ingredient is polluted.
1t is said that the people are to
blame for the degeneracy of politics
and inevitable docadence in govern
ment because they are almost crimin-
ally neglectful, narrowly prejudiced
and distressfutly gullible.
1t is not fair, however, to jump at
such conclusions, for the people are
surely justified in believing that they
will be correctly and safely led by
those entrusted With public affairs.
The people, therefore, have right
to feel that they have been deceived,
if not betrayed, when any of these
leaders 80 conduct themselves as to
set lower standard of citizenship in
public life.
The people of Idaho ought to feel
that in their Governor-not the Re-
publicans' governor nor the Demo
Gratis governor, but their Governor
they have a man who will in his pri
vate and official life set an example
worthy of emulation; that in point OF
honor and honesty, of judgment, OF
mentality of poise and dignity, they
have In him one to whom they can
safely point their sons and daughters
as an example.
There have been such men in the
high position of Governor of this
State, but not all of our governors
have measured up even part way to
that height to which the people could
point with pride and satisfaction.
What an example for the younger
generation, or the older, when man
at the head Of State government
adopts the tactics of mountebank or
circus barker.
What an example when man in
that position becomes the cunning
thief of the results of the efforts OF
others and publicly voices his claim
to the stolen property!
What an example when man in
such position resorts to charlatanry |
and spitefulness and deception and
premeditated' lies to gain his political
ends!
What an example in good citizen
ship to set before those who will soon
take over control of affairs!
How may we expect better things
to grow for the future from soil satu-
rated with vicious elements?
We all have our political prefer
ences. and 1t is we'll that we have |
honest differences of opinion as to
the principles Of government, but this
is question that goes to the roots
Of all principles of government and
condition that rots them all.
Irrespective of the success OF any
party or any candidate, all thinking
people should with their votes place
men and agencies that tend towards
lowering of reasonable standards
and a deadening of the public con
science to common decency, to intel
lectuaIity, to sound Judgment and to
correct department in public affairs
