CHURCH SHOWS ITS HAND
The Elder-Editor of the Stand
ard-News had a bad attack of con
stipation of ideas and diarrhoea of
words last week. He is now posing
political advisor of the democra
tic party of the state and tells the
people that Dubois is guilty of all
the ills with which our Mormon
ridden commonwealth is inflicted.
There need he no surprise.

to corrupt the state in order to roll

the innermost corner of his office

anxiously awaiting the nod of ap

The principal charge that lie
establishes against Senator Du
Bois is that be is a man and not a
politician. DuBois tells the truth
and fights without fear or favor.

in fifteen minuets than DuBois
could do in that many years. Our
state is and will be what we make

to the people that Idaho is an ex

Would Carpenter, providing he
was out of politics and had no ax

family and for the remainder of
his days live in the vicinity of,
say, Rexburg, Idaho?
Do you not, Brother Carpenter
have a compunction of conscience

orality in the same degree as the
polygamous wives of your Mormon
friend who are trying to break the
shackles that hold them in a state

quietly whispers a word of warning
to democracy; The Capitol News, a

it was stated several weeks ago

Mormon church organ, says there
is no Mormon question.
Then locally, the Stites Sentinel,
Kooskia Mountaineer and the

inform the public that the Mormon

the official organ of the Mormon
church, is so determined to save
Idaho democracy from a mistake
on this question, that it is using
freely of its space to ''educate" us.

Editor Free Press:
Again I beg your indulgence for
a word or two in reply to the last
effusion of Messrs. Scales and Howe
of the 9th inst. These gentleman
toll ub, "the public record of a pub
lic man is the legitimate subject of
criticism." To which statement I
fully subscribe, but does Senator
Dubois' public record justify the
statement made by Scales and
Howe that they believe the record
discloses that the Senator is not a
democrat?
That he is ''intolerant of those
who oppose him" and that he is
"willing to disrupt the democratic
party to further his ends," that he
is a "political dictator." We are
cited to no record made by Dubois
either in or out of Congress, to
prove any one of these assertions.
Maybe these gentlemen expect ns
to accept these assertions without
proof, as for myself they will ex
cuse me. I must be shown the re
cord on which they rely to prove
them. Without such proof they
are to me worthless, amounting
only to a sounding brass and a
tinkling cymbal issuing from the
heated fury of a couple of hot head
ed, biased and prejudiced men
from a band of discontented and
discordant element who are and
have been, for more than six years
last past sadly out of harmony with
the democratic party and its poli
cies, not only in this state, but
throughout the United States.
Now I am do apologist for Du
Bois. DuBois at this time is net
before the democratic party to be
reviewed and passed upon. What
DuBois' fate will be at the hands
of our party, is not now before us.
"Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof" "Let the dead bury
its dead." Let us look to the living,
to the ever preseut and we will
have enough to engage our atten
tion and our best efforts.
Dismissing DuBois from
investigation as to what estimate
is to be made of him by the demo
cratic party when the time comes,
1 turn to ask Mr. Scales, as a pub
lic man in the lime light, if he did
not support Avery C. Moore for
congress, the worst political char»
litin that ever struck Idaho county
in 1902 at the Pocatello democratic
convention and whom be had be
fore denounced as not being a de
mocrat, and who was two years
later turned out of the democratic
convention at Weiser? And if you
did, tell us and explain to the demo
crats of this county how you justify
it. I iiave never yet heard that Du
Boise was ever guilty of a political
exploit like that.
Is it not true Mr. Scales, that
about all your delegates you took
with you to that convention, wore
Moore's badges and shouted and
voted for him except A. F. Par
ker your brother-in-law, who re
fused to do it? If this is so, how
do you justify your conduct
then with your conduct now, if
Moore was uot a democrat as you
had before stated? or did you ad
mire Avery C. Moore then, more
than you do Senator DuBois now,
as a democratic?
When
S?
you answer these ques
tion, you may have a chance for
others, but I beg let us uot befog
the leal issue.
Yours for the right,
L. Vineyard.
Mr. Pulse Writes.
Grangeville, Idaho, April 13, '08.
Editor Free Press:
As a life-long democrat and fur
twenty years a resident of the state
of Idaho and after a recent canvass
of the state, especially a visit to
the state Capitol, I desire to ex
press my views of existing politi
cal conditions in the state from a
democratic stand point.
It is apparant to yonr correspon
dent that no real leadership is in
sight and what passes for leader
ship of the various factions now
disrupting the democratic party
the state, seems to consist of de
magogue denunciation of existing
conditions and the advocating of
vague schemes of socialism and
paternalism which are themselves
revolutionary in character.
We are not on the threshold of
the greatest political awakening
our state has ever known, or mark
ing the beginning of anew age,
but we are, I believe, about to re
turn to our senses and earnestly
address ourselves to the solution of
the difficult problems confronting
us, by the methods which the past
has shown to be entirely adequate
to meet these great emergencies.
The so-called "muckrake" has bad
a great vogue and on the whole has
done some good. The octopodi
cide and trust buster is vociferous
and much in evidence; but he
offers no issue on which political
parties can divide,
of all these the plain people go
about their business, seeing the
elimination of the real issues of
interest that are dividing the na
ional parties and they stand indif
ferent.
The republican party has always
been conservative to change and
innovation, and to-day, half un
conBciously it again voices its real
character by declaring itself to be
the party of stand-patters.
On the other band, the democra
party has been the party of too
mucn liberalism. Only recently
have efforts been made to drag it
from the path of progress to that
of the revolution.
The real leaders of our state,
the bosses whose sinister influence
lies back of the party machinery
and control it for their own selfish
and personal ends, are pushing the
button. The men responsible for
the present demoralized condition
of the
seat.
organization they are evidently
making it simply a delegate-getting
machine.
Unless these present conditions
are changed or remedied by the en
couragement of independent action
and thought, by conventions made
open rather than subservient to a
''central clique," the thousands of
self-responsible voters in the state
who are democrats in principle,
but are voting the republian ticket,
will continue where they are and
the young men who could be
brought into our ranks and others
in great numbers, will remain in
different to political affairs or join
our opponents.
The people of the democratic
party, to speak plainly
graced and humiliated by the past
years of mismanagement, but will
array themselves behind their par
ty candidates, if they are men of
political standing, on a platform
of real democracy; and in that plat
form they want no crazy socialism
or revolutionary paternalism. What
we want and need is men and
not measures. The people as a
whole have little faith in new laws
while there is not honesty and cap
acity enough in the public servants
to work out the old ones.
Yours for harmony and Pure
Democracy. J. J. Pulse.

"One Touch of Nature Makes

When a rooster finds a big fat
worm he calls all the hens- in

A similar trait of human nature
is to be observed when a man dis
covers something exceptionally
good—he wants all his friends and
neighbors to Bhare the benefits of
bis discovery. This is the touch of
nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why
people who have peen cured by

write letters to the manufactures
for publication, that others simi

Behind every one of these letters
is a warm hearted wish of the
