Richard Pearson Hob son appeared in Boise short time ago and no doubt told what a lot of mistakes have bean made by the navy because he was not consulted about the armor belt. cl From the chary manner in which the county politicans ap proach open announcement of their candidacy it looks as though the office would seek the man and not the man the office. If such is the case we may ex pect to see some pretty good men sought out by the office A ereat many papers of this state are hollering their heads off for Brady, but have yet to see one that really knows what its chief stands for in the matter of a platform. so far we It is customary politics for a candidate in this day of to tell what he is going to do when elected to office and not merely say 'T am a that reason vote republican. For for me." A great many newspapers would really like some information on this subject, and also a great er number of republicans would like to know if the lesque, perpetrated in the last legislature, is to be repealed up same bur Th« Capital News of Sunday trotted out two possible candi dates for governor upon the democratic platform, M. Alex ander a prominent merchant of Boise and John C. Rice of Cald well a prominent attorney in that city. Both of the candi dates are, as yet, without a plat form upon which to urge their candidacy, The anti-Mormon plank which gained the demo cratic party many republican votes in this state, stands a poor chance of being inserted in the platform, and if such is the case the candidates will have a poorer chance of getting even all of their own party lined up, to say nothing of any republicans. To any man acquainted with the character of the voters on this tract, the possibilily of any man getting office who comes before the people with record for unfaithful service in public office is quite The taxpayers for the most part have come from states in which the political corruption has dis gusted them with the methods for both parties, their homes in this new county and this new state a large jority have a strong desire to get a.way from the graft game of the politicians, The which attemps to put incompe tent officers into position in the county will have this feeling to contend with. up a remote In making ma party Senator Gallinger's mail ship subsidy bill passed the Senate without being maimed in any While the bill is not way. sweeping i^its changes, yet it is the enterim wedge toward a greater measpre at some future time. question has brought heated argument and debate and has finally been\so amputated iu the committees .that it appealed to neither party. -, The bill which Heretofore the subsidy out a l \ A T passofl the senate i ,rovicK,s 111 brief for amending the ocean mail service law of 1891, by in creasing the pay of second class mail steam ship from £2 to §4 i per mile on outward voyages and making the compensation of the third class £1 per mile.

If Pinchot could be charged with seuding out some of the crazy dope that has come to tins office from this state's national representatives, the kickers might make out a case. For straight sense Pinchot's articles are classic in comparison. i "The substantive part of the Antitrust Law should remain at present; that is, eyery con tract in , restraint of trade or commerce among the several states or with foreign nations should continue to be declared illegal; provided, however, that as some proper governmental thority [such as the ioner of Corporations acting un der the secretary of Commerce and Labor] be allowed to pass any such contracts. Probably the best method of providing for this would be to enact that au Commiss on any contract, subject to the prohi bition contained in th« antitrust law, into which it was desired to enter, might be filled with the Bureau of Corporations or other appropriate executive This would provide publicity. Within, say, sixty days of the filing—which period could be ex tended by order of the depart ment whenever for any reason it did not give the department suf ficient time for a thorough amination —the Executive Do partaient having power might, forbid the would then become subject to the provisions of the Antitrust Law if at all in restraint of trade. If no such prohibition was issued the contract would then only be liable to attack on the ground that it constituted able restraint of trade. When erer the period of filing had passed without any such prohi bition the contracts or combina tions could be disapproved forbidden only after notice and hearing, with a reasonable vision for summary appeal by the courts, Labor organizations, farmers' organiza tions and other organizations not organized for purposes of profit should be allowed to register der the Taw by giving the loca tion of the head office, the char ter and by-laws, and the and addresses of their principa officers."—Literary Digest. body. ex contract, which an unreason or pro review on un names The day is fast approaching when old, dead, dyed in the wool partisans in politics will be regu lated to the political scrap pile and be forgotten. The time is past when any man can claim anything from the people merely because he is a faithful member of either of the two dominant parties.

As long as this republic stands we shall have political parties and politicians always anxious to get a finger in the party warfare, there are politicians spoils of J ust as long as we shall ha ve corrupt influences at work in the selection of officeholders.
