Entered hr second-clasp matter January
4,1905, at the post office at 8ilverCity,
Idaho, under the Act of Congress of
March 8,1879.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1908
Democracy in Idaho is once
more united. The Anti-Dubois
ticket has been declaired the
regular democratic ticket for Ida
ho by the Supreme Court.
Not satisfied with entering the
political arena as a common
politican himself, Roosevelt has
decided that his entire cabinet
must get out and drill and take
the field for the election of Taft.
We may look for the next orders
to be, that the postmasters will
be ordered out to stump their
respective localities. Now Asher,
you had better practice up a
little. We have an empty room
that we will be glad to let you
use for the purpose of getting
your voice in trim for the "Com
ing Struggle."

Not long since, we heard a
prominent republican citizen say
in a public address, "Beware of
placing too much power in the
hands of any one man." We
wonder if this party thinks that
Teddy is pursuing the proper
course during this political cam
paign.
Acclden»-In|urv-Fellow Servant
By the decisions of the Su
preme Court, a corporation can
not be held liable for damage,
for injury to employees, if it is
shown that the injury happened
through the act or orders of a
"fellow servant." If a laborer
brings an action for damage for
injury, it is from 3 to 12 or 15
years before the case is finally
decided, after going through the
various courts. During this time
the poor, crippled laborer and
his dependant family are suffer
ing for the necessities of life, if
they have uot stai ved to death
in the mean time.
Isn't our Sacred Courts of Jus
tice a Sublime institution? Is
not the Judicial branch of our
government to divine an inetitu- !
tion to be subject to criticism?
Such is the doctrine of the repub
lican party.
Bryanism proposes to remedy
this evil.
!
"The supreme Court of Minne
sota held, in the case of Pasco
vs. Minneapolis Steel & Machin- j
ery Company, that the test by |

servant was acting as a vice
principal or as a fellow servant
was whether at the time of injury
he was intrusted with the per
formance of some absolute and
personal duty to the master;
that not the rank nor authority
but the nature of the service con
trolled, and that the fact that a
foreman had the power to and
did direct the progress of the
work and ordered another ser
vant to do a particular thing,
whereby the servant was hurt,
did not make the foreman a vice
principal. Iu the case before the
court the plaintiff was ordered
by a "straw boss" to throw a
block under a casting which they
were engaged in raising with a
block tackle and hook operated
by a steam engine. The plaintiff
said he did not like to do so for
fear that the hook would slip
off. The "straw boss" said it
would hold this time and that he
would take the risk. While the
plaintiff was engaged in obeying
the order the casting fell and
caused the injuries for which re
covery was sought. The court
held that the plaintiff and the
"straw boss" were fellow
servants."
If you want this system to
continue, vote to perpetuate it
by casting your vote for Taft
and republican legislators. If
you want a changa, and want la
bor to have a show for justice,
then vote for William J. Bryan
and the democratic congressmen.
Republican Leaders Alarmed.
The leaders of the republican
party are now beginning to Bee
that the cause of Taft is getting
desperate. Reports from eaet and
west indicate the election of Bryan
by a large majority. In New York,
West Virginia, Illinois, Indiana,
Idaho, Oregon and Kansas the re
publican party is hopelessly divided
in factional fights, and it would not
he surprising to see these states, all
of which have been strongly repub
lican, cast their electorial vote for
Bryan this year.
The voters of Oregon having
given their endorsement to George
E. Chamberlin, democrat for Unit
ed States Senator, the republicans
could not point to this state as
Bounding the sentiment of the coun
try as they have been in the habit
of doing when it generally rolled
up a 40,000 republican majority.
So they directed all their efforts for
big republican victory in Vermont,
where the second state election
previous to the national election
was held, and all the available re
publican speakers of national rep
utation were sent to Vermont state,
including Senator Borah of Idaho,
to aid in rolling up a big republican
majority, while only two democrats
of national reputation were sent to
that state. When the votes were
counted they showed a falling off
iu the republican vote of eight per
cent, and the state gave the party
the smallest majority it has receiv
ed since Cleaveland was elected
president the first time.
Chargined at the result in Ver
:
a g reat falling off in the republican
vote and a democratic gain

mont, the g. o. p. managers rushed
their spellbinders to Maine in order
to swell the republican majority
and claim an endorsement of Taft's
nomination. But the result showed

ried the state by only 8,000
majority, the smallest republican
majority recorded in a presidential
year, in 25 years.
The democratic vote increased
more than 13,000 over that of 1904,
while the republican vote fell off
about 2500.
The republican national com
mittee has been making loud claims
as to what they would do in the
south, and especially in Arkansas,
which held its state election last
week. The result there shows the
usual 50,000 democratic majority,
which may be an increase over the
vote of four years ago when the
official count is made.
When Judge Parker returned to
New York from his trip to Oregon,
California and other western states
he stated that Bryan was very
strong throughout the west; and E.
H. Harriman upon his arrival in
New York from his western trip
said:
I found
a general apathy
everywhere in the west regarding
the political situation, and in this
apathy lies the greatest danger to
the republican party."
Ex-Senator Smith, of New Jersy,
who opposed Bryan in his two pre
vious campaigns, is now in line for
the Commoner and says he believes
his state will give its electorial vote
to the democratic nominees.
The strength of Bryan lies in the
fact that
he is the
people, at whose
was nominated.
While Taft was nominated by the
office holders and not by the rank
and file of his party,
