THE WORM Til AT NEVER DIES
The case of the postmistress
of Indianola, Mississippi, comes
as a reminder of a dreary past.
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

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

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.

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. R. .Tones, formerly editor qf
the Mackay Telegraph, lias tak
en charge of the Chronicle and
will endeavor to scale the ladder
of newspaper fame in Fremont
county. Register Thomas pro
bably holds the controlling in
terest in tlie outfit, not only for
profil but for the opportunity it
affords him of saying that he lias
done a great deal for the dear
old republican party up in Fre
mont county.
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.
