GditoriaIIy Speaking
BETRAYED


A close analysis of the recent act
of the prohibition party of Idaho in
filing a state ticket composed of
nominees selected from the demo-
cratic and republican parties re-
veals cunning trickery. If one were
not too conservative, "treachery"
might we'll replace "trickery" for
in some of the selections made the
rank and file of the prohibition party
in this state has been betrayed by
Boise politicians who engineered the
deal whereby Moses Alexander was
placed at the head of the prohibition
ticket and Van Deusen and Walters
named on it.
How the prohibition party in Idaho
can reconcile itself to seeing Alexan-
der placed to the head of its ticket
is more than we can understand.
Moses Alexander is the man who
a few years ago as mayor of Boise
conducted an administration which
was notorious. Boise was a wide
open town under his regime. In
those days the Boise Evening News
used page after page of its space
in telling the people of Boise and
of the state of the unlawful condi-
tions prevailing in the city.
When Alexander became a candi-
date for governor the prohibition
question was being agitated in the
state but no one knew whether the
drys or the vets We're in the ma
jority. Alexander did not know and
he repeatedly side-stepped giving his
views upon the question. An Incl
dent showing how Alexander evaded
the issue is printed as follows from
the Nampa Leader-Herald:
"The Leader-Herald did not know
the man as we'll then as it does
now and fondly dreamed that wher
he came to Nampa it could get him
on record on this important ques-
ton. 1t got out hand bills anC
flooded the town with them. Every
chair in the hall had a bill upoI
which was printed ASK Alexander

Question: A prominent business maj
of Nampa rose in the audience ant

that he would come to that in it

of her daughter, Mrs. c. C. Parker,
in Spokane, after a long illness re-
sulting from cancer of the stomach.
The funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at the under
taking parlors of Hayers and Jaeger,
of Spokane VIM. Castle, a
brother of the deceased, and his
wife and Mrs. James Smith a sister
of Mrs. Blakslee, attended the fu-
neral Mrs. Charles Knight, a
daughter of the deceased, was unable
to go to the funeral on account of
sickness. Mrs. Mary Stone is a
sister of the deceased but was not
able to attend the funeral.
Mrs. Blakslee lived in Boomers
Ferry about six years ago when her
husband, who died in Spokane about
three years ago, operated a dray
line, selling out to Jesse Howe when
he left Boomers Ferry. She was
so years old.
Mrs. Blakslee has many acquain-
tances here who grieve with the
members of the family over the de-
parture of loving mother and sister
and a generous-hearted, charitable
dispositioned friend.

POOR TINE TO PREACH

w. B. Hawkins, candidate for the
office of county treasurer, in a
statement through the Times of last
week would have the people of Boun-
Diary county view his candidacy from
a non-partisan standpoint and cites
his Correct and painstaking SER
vice." (regardless of cost as suf-
ficient provocation.
This non-partisan stuff will fail
to impress the voters seriously COM
ing from that source at this stage
of the game. Wonder if Mr.. Haw-
kins made that suggestion to Moses
when the appointment of officials
for the new county was under con-
sideration, or did he suggest that
by all means they should be loyal
democrats regardless of qualifica-
tions, and to make a sure shot, so far
as possible, they should be men from
the "solid south" who had not been
in the west long enough to become
contaminated with republicanism
The whole Wilson administration is
notable for its partisanship and
rampant nepotism; not only have
deserving democrats" been given
fat government jobs wherever pos
sible by the Wilson administration
but relations of democratic cabinet
officers, senators and representatives
have been we'll taken care of. Never
before in the history of this country
has nepotism and partisanship be-
come so rank at the capital as under
the Wilson administration.
When Bryan was secretary of
state he had his son appointed to a
position in the department of JUS
ic and his son-in-law to a position
in the treasurer's department. Sec
rotary McAdoo put one of his sons
in the department of justice and
one in the department of commerce.
Secretary Daniels got a place for
his brother in the department of
justice. The first assistant post
master general at one time had three
members of his family on the pay
roll. Speaker Clark's son holds a
clerkship at $4,000 per annum. SEN
ator Overman, of North Carolina,
placed his son in a $500 position
and his daughter holds a S14OO job.
The wife and brother of Senator
Gore of Oklahoma are on the pay
roll. Senator Martin of Virginia
has a brother holding an important
clerkship. Senator Vardaman OF
Mississippi has a son in a soft berth
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon has
his son on the payroll. Pitchfork
Tillman of South Carolina has two
sons drawing pay in like manner

regular order in his remarks. He
ratified along about the silk stock
ings then as he does now, but failed
to say a word on the one vital
question. The following election
showed how the people of Idaho
stood, and then and not until then
Alexander blossomed out as an ar
dent prohibition advocate"
Alexander's administration in
Boise was so VIGOROUSLY wet that
the "wet" vote of the state was cast
for him two years ago. The "wets"
of this county are still kicking them
selves for having voted for Alexan-
der. They figure that they were
double-crossed and they were.
At heart Alexander is a "wet."
AS a politician he is "dry" as long
as he feels the majority of the
voters are "dry" This his record
has proven.
Compare the records of the two
candidates for governor-D. w. Da-
Wis and Alexander-and then ask
yourself why the prohibition party
did not endorse Davis rather than
Alexander. Mr.. Davis has been iden-
titled with the "dry" movement in
Idaho from its very beginning. He
has spent his time and money work
ing for the prohibition cause. He
has never flinched, never hesitated
in telling the public where he stood
No one can say that Davis became
"dry" to win votes. 1t was not
matter of policy with him it was
PRINCIPLE and that is word that
is not found in Alexander's diction-
airy.
The Herald agrees with the other
Idaho papers of the state who favor
seeing elected a governor "dry" by
principle rather than policy, that the
so-called prohibition party endorse
ments are the results of the ma
chinations of democratic politicians
Alexander, Van Deusen and T. A
Walters, three men, who if elected
would serve on the state land boarc
and give it a democratic major
ty, are endorsed on the so-callet
prohibition ticket. We claim tina
the prohibition party has been be
trayed in Boise in order that tn
democratic party might gain contrc
of the state offices. And we furthe
claim that Van Deusen and Walter
never, in private or public life
showed by act or word that the
favored statewide prohibition unit
political policy prevailed upo
them.
The rank and file of the prob
bition party of Idaho can see throug
the deal. The treachery is apparen
, The embarrassing will re-at
) against Alexander and his cohorts.

more representatives than there are
senators. 1t would take columns
to list the relations of democratic
senators and representatives drawing
big salaries on the government pay
roll at Washington. 1t is a bad
time for a democrat to try to hide
behind that non-partisan stuff.

WELL KNOWN NAMPA MAN
HEARS CALL OF DEATH
Edward F. Larson Dies From Gunshot
Wound.
(Nampa Leader-Herald)


The funeral of Edward F, Larson
was held at the family residence Wa
nita Place, at 2 o'clock Tuesday after
fseon. The Masonic lodge had charge
of the arrangements while Gates +.
M. Young, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, preached the funeral sermon.
Died Saturday.
Death came to Edward F. Larson
about 10 o'clock Saturday evening, at
ter ten days struggle to recover from
the effects of a gun shot wound re-
ceived on the evening of February "a.
Mr.. Larson was working in his gar
age and in reaching on a shelf for an
oil can accidentally discharged ~
calibre rifle that was lying there, the
bullet striking him just below the
heart. A post norton examination
showed that the leaden missile pierced
the left lung and went through the
stomach.
While the gravity of the injury was
recognized from the first, attending
physicians and relatives were encour-
aged to hope by the patients cheerful
spirit and determination to live that
| the wound would not prove fatal UP
until late Saturday afternoon strong
hopes were held out for his recovery
Then his condition suddenly became
worse and his relatives were sum-
moned to the bedside.
Born in Wisconsin.

1875, just one month and al years be

he could not give one of the beauties
to himself, and his heart told him
otherwise.
When he had been acting.as Sec
rotary of War .or a few days there
was placed on General SCOTS desk his
newly drawn commission as major
general of the United States Army. 1t
is the duty of Secretaries of War to
sign commissions for officers of the
army. Was it proper for Hugh l..
Scott, Acting Secretary of War, to
sign commission to Hugh L. Scott
which would make him major gen
eral? The soldier scratched his head
bit his pen, and then sent an orderly
down the hall to request the presence
in the Secretarys Office of Enoch H.
Crowder, judge advocate general of
the army, the departments law sharp.
The army's legal adviser also scrat-
ched his head over the question pro-
pounded to him. Then he consulted
the ancient Hardee's tactics, then the
tactics of Upton. then the latest man
eal for small arms practice. and fol-
lowing these read digest of the COM
missary generals report on the food
supply of the army. Then he told his
chief to go ahead and sign his own
commission.
Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the
United States Army, therefore today
has in his possession the only COM
mission of an army officer containing
the owners signature as Secretary OF
War.
