DUBOIS AND THE PRESS
Men who would get shipwrecked
in the poetry of Shakespeare and
lost in the political economy of
John Stuart Mill, are in some lo
calities of the state posing as
critics, attempting to prescribe a
. remedy for what they term the
ill of democracy, woefully inter
preting the views and attributing
insincerity to ex-Senator Dubois,
whose life for almost thirty years
has been spent in upbuilding bis
beloved state.
The national position Fred T.
Dubois has held with eeteem; the
ideas he embodies; the qualities of
his character, together with his
past political fudgment eutitle him
to present leadership in the state.
Dismiss the man as leader, divorce
him from democracy, the prin
ciples of the party and the cause he
has espoused will still live.
Criticism ot the press when fair
and deserving sometimes has a
most wholesome effect, but abuse
never. No writer in the state
should summon all his aesthetic
taste and employ his talent to
depict favorably, vices which man
kind coudems. If the senator in
habits a higher sphere of thought,
into which others rise with more
study and difficulty, he iB entitled
at least to a fair answer and argu
ment, rather than a waiver or
epithets. Abuse is uot argument
and does not belong to the public
writer nor to the orator. Nearly
every great character in history
has been termed a villian, a mon
etär, a dictator, and likewise his
ideas called "jingoism" or a
"bngaboe", and too frequently hie
character by calumny deformed.
Recall Lincoln, Jefferson, Blaine,
and Bryan. Falsehood, slander
and epithets never won in the end
before the American people. It
may delay but not defeat the cause.
Senator Dubois has to some extent
we believe been hated because he
cannot be answered.
The press should not attempt to
shackle Dubois, because his ouly
aim as far as we have been able to
learn, is to make possible better
politics. Should we pander to
lower ideals? Shall we drop the
high standard of moral growth we
have earnestly contended for in the
paet and join with dissenters? Is our
statesmanship and our ideal no
higher? The press we feel should
analyze with absolute fairness all
questions and give to each its true
worth.
Without question, the indepen
dent thought in Idaho today in all
political parties who love principle
more thau office or its spoils, is
striving earnestly to preserve our
prestige as a sovereign people and
keep our institutions and our pos
terity free from Mormon control.
Without doubt, the polygamous
leaders to a great extent domiuate
today the policy of the party now
in power iu Idaho. Dubois with
others seeks only to have the
people as a whole obey the funda
mental law of the state. ThiB is
commendable. We cannot, if we
abhor vice, turn our face to God
and cry stop. Civilization hangs
largely upon the home. Obedience
to the moral teaching learned in
youth, is the only safeguard in
hours of doubt,
conscience for its silent vibration
must be obeyed if peace and hap
piness is the ultimate aim of
government. W r liat we need is

with the Mormons or rather their
leaders and asked for laws touch
ing polygamy and unlawfnl co
habitation and for men to enforce
such laws and thereby uphold the
constitution of our state. Is he
not right? where in all that has
been written or spoken is there a
single utterance claiming that
polygamy and unlawful cohabita
tion, larceny and murder, robbery
and arson are right and especially
in a civilized commonwealth? Then
why postpone a declaration agaiust
polygamy? Courts but express
the will of the people. What man
has yet produced one argument
agaiust the senator on this ques
tion? Who has esposed the cause
of polygamy, save the Mormon
and then in private or under oath?
We glance back to the dewy dawn
of history and find that polygamy
and slavery has proven a curse.
The very soil upon which it
flourished is today marked here
and there by shattered walls,
with but a stone or sepulchere
showing where once lived the
faithful shepherds. Shall Idaho
mock the courage and wisdom of
the pioneers of Missouri and
Illinois who in their wrath drove
polygamy aud its votaries from
their territories? Shall we Bhame
the gentiles of Salt Lake for their
splendid victory over crime. There
comes to us in Bilence a voice of
right, learned at our motber'sknee,
speaking in no uncertain tone,
urging us regardless of partisan
politics, to teach a lesson to wrong
doers in whatever party, church or
organization they abound.
From the brain of the maligned
Dubois has sprung much good t
Idaho. Is his reward now as age
creeps upon his form to be only
ingratitude?
All democrats, yea the vast ma
jority of the people have watched
the rivalry, dissection, and claim
ants for leadership in the state.
They perhaps have enjoyed the
campaign for and against the sena
tor, but at heart they all should
regret the abuse and personalities.
The average citizen is a thinking
man. His ranks furnish the ma
jority of voters and as a layman
he mixes little in active politics,
yet this same citizen respects
Dubois, loves his state and its
institutions and is ready to vote
and aid in keeping, the flag, our
state aud citizenship respectable.
Such men, and their name is
legion, will not capitulate with the
Mormon politicians for mere spoils,
if it gave us every Mormon vote in
Idaho. Such a surrender would
be shameful. Our sincere party
declarations would become the
subject of ridicule and justly so,
and the honesty of our voters
seriously questioned.
The people of Idaho are capable
of wonderful achievement. The
true patriot, the honest citizen,
falters not at the price of liberty,
but ask himself—Is the cause
right—then does his duty.

The point is we have not been

little chance that many of us will

which must include Yemmen, there
were only 2,554,436 pounds im

Opposed to Burrows
To democrats, who, of course,
do not understand the true in
wardnese of republican affairs, it
v ill prove interesting to learn that
the action of the subcommittee of
the repuplican national committee
in naming Senator Burrows for
temporary chairman of the Chicago
convention has stirred up a hor
net's nest.
The selection made by the sub
committee has yet to he approved
by the entire committee when it
meets June litt, and it is author
itatively stated that President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft will
use their influence with the com
mittee to get it to select some one
else other than the senator from
Michigan.
It is known that Mr. Burrows is
not an enthusiastic supporter of
President Roosevelt, and, in fact,
be is recognized as a moderate op
ponent of the executive's views.
The temporary chairman of the
convention is supposed to make
the keynote speech, hence the re
luctance of President Roosevelt to
see Senator Burrows fill this re
sponsible position.
It is surprising to learn that
there appears to be some question
whether the administration con
trolls the national committee, and
the irrepressible Senator Bourne of
Oregon declares that he does not,
aud, although he is not a delegate
to the national convention from
his state, he promises to go to
Chicago just the same to use what
influence be possesses to bring
about the unseating of those Taft
delegate from the south whose
positions are being contested.
He believes that if proper steps
ore taken all these contest cases
will be decided by the committee
againet the secretary of war.
This is decidedly interesting,
but it will require some stronger
evidence than that produced by
Senator Bourne to convince most
persons that the administration
has not captured the national
committee in the campaign it has
waged for Secretary Taft.
Still, it would appear as though
the subcommittee of the national
committee in naming Senator
Burrows for temporary chairman
had gone contrary to the wishes of
President Roosevelt; in fact, re
publican newspapers do not at
tempt to disguise the truth of this.
If the Michigan senator is al
lowed to strike the keynote, as it
now seems likely he will be, it is a
foregone conclusion that this will
be the first move of the reaction
ary element in the party to lead
the republicans to what are known
as "safe and sane" policies.
It looks like the beginning of
the repudiation of President Roose
velt by his party.—Butte Miner.
Bad Attact of Dysentery Cured
"An honored citizen of this town
was suffering from a severe attack
of dysentery. He told a friend if
he could obtain a bottle of Cham
berlin's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy, he felt confident of
being cured, he having used this
remedy in the west. He was told
that, I kept it in stock and lost
time in obtaining it, and
promptly cured" says M. J. Leach,
druggist, of Wolcott, Vt. For Baie
