When the great war closed and the reconstruction period came on. the bitterness of the south was unspeakable. The men who had controlled public opinion retired to their lairs and refused to assert themselves. They had lost all in the war; it closed by placing them on an equality, un der the law, with those who had been their slaves, and in theircon j fused minds there was no justice j on earth or in heaven. When the reckless men of their region 1 in frenzy started ont under the S Ku-Klux sign to murder they did j not seek to stay their bloody, hands. Now, after thirty-eight! years the effect is seen. The j men who thought it was but re , tributive justice to kill negroes, they and their descendents still cling to that brutality, and so potent are they in Mississippi that sheriffs and marshals are forced to admit they cannot pro tect a woman in thedischarge of herduties, because she is a col ored woman. Those wretches who have awakened that terror do not know what a disgrace they are to themselves and to their state, do not know what they are doing to keep decent people away from their state, and to no tify mankind that with them only brutal methods are respected The loss and shame is not to the poor woman, not to the United States, but solely to Mississippi and her citizens. The chances j I the j or J I ■ of ! I I I j j i I I I too, are that the men engaged in the persecution of the colored woman do not receive one letter per capita during the year. We think the administration is right, right in marking Indian ola from the list of postoffices, for the disease there is one only cured by death. Those misguided men \till die some time, and possibly- in forty years more the lower grade of men of that state will become decent citizens. At present Mis sissippi is a good state to avoid, for very many of her white peo ple are vastly lower in the scale of humanity than can be the low est negro who ever worked in a Mississippi cotton field. Good win's Weekly. GOOD ROADS. According to a recent article in the Washington Star on the need of better roads, the losses and disadvantages due to our bad roads amount to the enor mous sum of $30,000,000,000 or nearly one hundred times the cost of the Spanish war. The loss is enough to build all the mainly traveled roads in this country fifteen times over by a new method of improving coun try roads and also city streets by the use of brick wagon wheel tracks. The road system, which was clearly explained in the New York Herald of Nov. 9th by the Hon. Martin Dodge, United States director of the office of road inquiries, will enable the finest and best roads in the world to be built for an average cost which should not exceed $2,000 per mile, which is about one-fifth of the average cost of stone roads. The direct loss due to hauling produce over our bad roads ap pears to constitute a mud tax of over $600,000,000 a year, making a mud tax of over $2,000,000, for each working day in the year and nearly $K yearly for every man, woman and child in this universal, j j 1 country. The indirect loss pro bably equals a like amount, while I the increase of farm va lues, es itimated at only per acre, j would equal some 15,000,000,000, or enough to build all the mainly J traveled roads many times over. I The increase in road building in ■ New York State, where one half of the cost is paid by the state. ! has been two hundred and thirty I fold or twenty-three thousand I per cent in the past four years. I The Brownlow H. R. Bill, No. j 15,36!), if passed, will enable j any town or county road super visor to apply for and receive i one-half of the cost of building I roads in his district from the I national government, and should start a road movement that will give us the best roads in the world in a few years of time, and also save the enormous losses mentioned above, besides mak ing rural mail delivery almost In view of this it would appear to be the duty of every person to ask their con gressmen to promptly procure the passage of this bill, which would so greatly benefit the present and future generations. Emmett Index. REPORT OF GAME WARDEN. T. W. Bartley, state game war den, whose report is being print ed at this office, states that it is impossible to enforce the pres ent, law successfully where pub lic sentiment is against it. He points out numerous weak points in the law and makes numerous recommendations. He states that deputy wardens cannot be had in many places where most needed as a man does not care to make enemies when his services are so meagrely paid for. The plan of paying the deputy wardens out of the tine levied, after a conviction is had, is very unsatisfactory when hostile courts and unfriendly juries set the guilty man free after the de puty has put in a week or two I working up a case. A few ex periences of that kind usually prevent any further prosecu ■ Rons from that particular dep uty. The law is wrong m prin ciple, according to Mr. Bartley, and needs some radical amend ments.—Nampa Leader. IN GOOD HANDS. Taken collectively the present legislature of Idaho is one of the most intelligent bodies that lias ever assembled in the state. They are all earnest in purpose and anxious to transact neces sary legislation as expeditiously as possible. The speedy settle ment of the senatorial question has left very little bitterness and the legislature is now ready for business. The state adminis tration is everywhere regarded as an especially strong one and the belief is currenc that it will co-operate heartily with the legislature. To be sure, the party now in power will be obliged to face a large deficit in every state institution from Mos cow University to the peniten tiary, but this heritage from the Democratic state administration will be faced courageously and the problem correctly solved. There will be no flinching. Every dollar of legitimate in debtedness will be paid. Re trenchment in the matter of state expenses will be the order of the day and careless operations of Governor Hunt's administra tion will not be repeated. The state officials enjoy the perfect confidence of the people and with an exceptionally intelligent body of legislators the destinies of Idaho are certainly secure. Pocatello Tribune R EPI BEI CANS TAK E CHA R( i E. Monday was a gala day in St. Anthony for the republicans of Fremont county, the democratic regime having come to an end. Some of the newly elected county officials arrived iu the city Sat urday and others came in Sunday and all except County Attorney Soule, who is in the hospital at Salt Lake in a very critical con dition. were on hand Monday morning in due time to take their respective oaths of ottice. The business affairs of the county having been turned over to the new officials, the ordinary rout ine of business was immediately taken up. The board of county commissioners entered earnestly into their work, although the un ° familiarity with their duties will retard their progress somewhat until all the unfinished business left over by the old hoard is cleaned up. Th« 1 men now in office are fill, honest and fair, and judging front their introductory work, the people of Fremont county can well be proud of their choice. There was a long special in the Salt Lake Tribune of the 9th, signed by James A. Haynes, the purport of which was to the effect that President Roosevelt | objected to the election of Mr. Reed Smoot to the United States senate, not because he had any objection to Mr. Smoot person ally or his religious faith, but because the election of an apos tle would arouse oppositi >n and inject an unfortunate question in national politics which would create unfavorable comment. To avoid this the president urged that some other than an apostle be chosen. Senator Kearns said in his interview with the press reporter, that the president had requested him to state that he very much hoped that no apostle would be elected. This story sounds very thin and we do not believe that the president had so much to say in regard to an apostle being elected to the United States senate. An apos tle has as much rjght to be elect ed to the senate as any other member of the Mormon church so long as he is free from the stain of polygamy. It is believed that if the president said anything about the senatorial affairs in Utali at all, it was upon this ground and with the object in view to avoid another scene in the United States senate similar to the one which occurred when Mr. B. H. Roberts, whom it was claimed was a polygamist, went down to Washington and demand, ed a seat in that representative and august body. The land office paper is still to be kept alive for the federal patronage of the aforesaid office. J.

The Modern Woodmen of America gave their public instal lation of officers at the St An thony opera house Monday evening. There were about 250 invited guests present who took part, in the dancing and more especially the feast which was carefully prepared by the mem bers of the order. St. Anthony Camp was organized three years and a half ago with 16 members and the camp has grown with such rapidity that its member ship now numbers about 65. Last Saturday morning about 3 o'clock, three Denver women attempted to hold up and roll W. C. Thompson, a waiter, and when lie resisted one of the wo men shot him, the bullet passing through his cheek. The wound is not serious. The women were captured. Domestic Troubles.
