The election over, the interest of
the public turnB to other subjects
The country would be better off if
the national elections were held
every six or eight years instead of
four years, as the excuse for the
money power to cause a financial
panic so often would he removed.
About twelve months out of every
four years is used to depress busi
ness to the enrichment of the cap
italists and to the detriment of the
producers. Or we might amend the
Constitution and have Teddy ap
point the presidents, senators and
congressmen for the next fifteen or
twenty years, and Bave all the un
necessary expense and trouble of
holding national elections
BRYAN LEADS IN COLORADO.
Democrats Carry the
State and Elsct
Congressmen.
The success of the democratic
party in Colorado will cause quite
a change in the program that has
been followed in that state for sev
eral years. And once more may
the goddess of justice and liberty
dare to venture within the bound
eries of that stale. This is one
state in the Union in which the
laboring element have had enough
of boss rule and have united to ob
tain their emancipation from the
oppression of the trusts and their
hirelings—the corrupt courts.
The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo
sition is to open its doors to the
public on June 1, 1909. The man
agement guarantees that the build
ings willall befinished and the ex
hibits all in place before opening
day.
The first exhibit arrived from the
north on October 25th, consisting of
a number of curios and furs. Ore
gon will be the first of the states to
install its exhibit.
The exhibit from Hawaii will be
quite an attraction, as it is planned
to show the islands in their rela
tive size and direction from each
other.
During the exposition, the Pa
cific fleet of the U. S. Navy will be
stationed at ^Seattle the most of the
time and will prove quite an at
tractive feature. Construction of
about eleven miles of paved paths
and drive ways is now under way.
Cameras will be admitted to the
grounds the size being limited to
4x5 or 3£x54 or smaller. Permits
must be secured from the manage
ment for the use of even this size.
This is on 3 of the "grafts" prac

Several more crooked bankers

supreme courts, however, with their
labyrinth of technicalities—so con
gratulations should bo held in re

What's this? The great Repub
lican Organ of the State of Idaho
insisting that the Sacred Courts of
this great republic are corrupt? Be
careful Mr. Statesman, or "Teddy,
the Great," will have you up on a
charge of "Lease Majeste."
According to the returns received
by Reilly Atkinson, Secretary
Treasurer of the League of Southern
Idaho Commercial Clubs, the
fourth anuual convention of that
organization, which will be held at
Nampa, November 16 and 17, will
be the largert and most enthusias
tic one yet held. Clubs in all sec
tions of the south have sent in lists
of delegates and evince an unusual
interest in the Convention.
The League started a campaign
to get an appropriation of $25,000
a year from the next legislature for
an Immigration and Advertising
Bureau of the State. It is this bu
reau's business to gather statistics
of Idaho and publish them. This
is work which will build up every
little community of Idaho, help to
populate our vacant lands and to
bring in new investors. It is of
equal importance to every one and
the state can not be too liberal if
the money is thus used. We get it
back an hundred fold. Every city
in Southern Idaho should be rep
resented at Nampa and thus give
this movement all the backing pos
sible.
The sentiment favoring the crea
tion of a commission to regulate
railroads has grown a great deal in
the last two years and this con
vention will be asked to endorse a ,
law calling for a Railroad Com
mission.
Our legislature has not yet
made any provisions for having
Idaho represented at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific Exposition to be
held in Seattle during 1909. The
League will undoubtedly take some
action on this and will probably
ask for an appropriation.
The Convention will be called to
order Monday afternoon, Novem
ber 16 and every city in southern
Idaho should be represented.
The number of states that voted one
way on national issues and auoiher way
ou state issues shows that people are
becoming more iiidependednt of party
control. The increasing size of this
vote adds to the uncertainty and anx
iety with which party managers carry
on a campaign.
