AN OUTRAGE.
Tha method* employed In the bond
election Mt| are the boldest viola
tion of the 'secret ballot probably ever
attempted in the state, and a direct
violation ot the law. A voter enters
the votiuK place in the •
ond ward and is aboen two
tlekata by an election officer. He
taken bis choice, bis hallol is stamp
ed and the officers know how be
votae- We were even Informed by an
election officer in tire Second ward
that at that time but two votes bail
been east against boo.ia. Tab ia kept
on arery voter be ia spotted and
tbe proceeding la a high I landed oat
rage ageiast tbe rlgbta of Amerii
citizenship which tbe Prene doee not
hesitate to danonoee. Aside from
the question at issue it la tbe ran hast
kind of Intimidation against thoce
wisfalng to cast secret ballot. Wkv of
Hotels will take ohaneee on invalldat
tag the election for tbe seilsfaotlon
of spotting voters is more than the
oidincry individual can fathom.
It ta said that Senator liurah, one
of tbe connaal for tbe state in tbe
foteu nan berg murder oases, Iran ap
pasted to the Mineownere A mortal loo
for funds to maet the expenses of fur
tbor proeecuttona. W battier tbe re
port is true or not, there are many
people in Idaho who believe that if
Governor Gooding wishes to contlnus
pr o secutions of mem tiers of tbe West
ern Kedetatiun of Miners he should
do so at tbe expanse of the mi neon n
era. One criminal trial ahortlou at
aa expense of 1140,000 to tbe people
for tbe benefit of Colorado tulneown
era is sufficient, ami moat people
will agree that Horah la appealing % to
the proper source for funds. Or
•held admits tbe crime eat bowls
that be le tbe moat barbarous, blood
thirsty, depraved, damnable criminal
ever moulded in tinman form
It would be impoaaibte to oonvtot
any one on bis testimony, and tbe
Haywood trial demonstrated dearly
that If tbe Kaderatiou men had com
mlttcd erlmea they wars in Colorado
Hang Orchard and lat Colorado try
bar own criminals ia tbe plan that
would moot with the approval of the
people of Idaho.
Harry Day, whoso naaio has been
mentioned In connection with the
Democratic nomlnation lot governor,
says that be la not a candidate.
There ia one thlag certain in this
connection, the iemoorats might hunt
a long time before finding better
material. Harry Day ia not a polish
ad orator or schemiug politician, but
tie Is a brainy common sense man
who would make few mistaken aa chief
executive of the state.
The spokesmen of the Mormon
church in the southeastern oouutlea
haveannounced tbat they will control
tbe next Republican slate convention
by reeeon of the heavy vole cast for
the ticket last fall. Thera Is much
truth in the aimniiueeuteut and wc
see no reason why they are not cut it
led to name tbe ticket.
Ooaur d'Alene's proiipurity will
not be s If soled by tbe bond election
being held today. No matter what

powers oat of the f</rt> odd states rep
resented have the say aa to what shall
1-- done These powers are tbe United
States. Great Britain, RitMit, Genua

♦be United States, it Is said by tome
I .servers tha* Ha chief plenipotentiary
has found more than bis match la
ft'iron von Blcbersteln, leader of tha
ii-rman delegation, and .Nelidof. At j
time* the first French representative,
I •'-oil Bourgeois, lias worked with hla
h-mian colleague to haffie Mr Choate
It sometimes appears that both of these
gentlemen Join with tbe liar's "peace
•rumoteri* In the conviction that the
oLf.-r.-oe* will wind up In a way to
Is- re<-ailed hereafter as the world's
Jest Their game tends that way.
If outward politeness, cordial hand-,
toake* anil amihw could be taken aa
evidence that tbe world's millennium
had come then the (e-ac- conference of i
I1S»7 would turn out a record maker in j
history. Costly dinners are prepared
by the tiest <-o<>ks of Paris, and wine j
lias flowed freely, especially when
nomr deh-gntlou bad Its sjiedsl ax to
grind. Home of the represenutlvea
darted In under the impression tbat j
Carnegie would pay all hotel bMto, In
eluding Immiucta mid the attractive j
spreads," which are a feature of the j
headquarter* of some of the minor del- j
•gallons, notably those that are boom- j
iug the "principle of international law'"
that hills shall mil lie collected by
force. Turkey quickly chimed In on
this profiosltion.
But tinderiientli the Joyous exterior
the Jealousy and distrust of the dele
gates and their attempts to overreach
one another have cropped out. It
would have been well If all the shabby
goings on nt The Hague could have
been kept from public notice. If It
should be shown In the sober deliltera
ttons tbat the severul strong govern
ments of the old world were ready to
abate tbelr selfishness, greed and blood
thirstiness ami make concessions for
tb« sake of universal peace the minor
shortcomings due to human nature
would be excused. It seems, however,
tbat the liar's s|*>kesiuau and tbe kai
ser's spokesman repaired to Tbe Hague
prepared to "Jolly" some of their weak
ar colleague* ami to outwit tbe few se
rious one*. To mitigate the horrors of
war la merely an extension of license
for those who care to Indulge to It
Warriug uations sacrifice nothing and
are able to cover up tbelr real Instincts
by posing before tbe world as humane.
Perhaps the public will be fooled by
rules making Red Cross relief vessels
Immune from capture, tbe selection of
a "humane" bullet and the abolition
of mineo. which really hoist friends as
well as foe*. More than likely, though,
tbe humbug will be alsed up on tta tner
Its, and then, saddest of all. the cause
of universal peace, so vital to tbe mil
Ilona who do the bleeding on the battle
field and groan under war appropria
tions. will come out of the second
ponce conference In a more hupelea*
stage than it entered.
In Philadelphia a large body of Jew
ish women, enraged at a rise In the
price of "kosher" meat, gathered In
and before butcher shop* conducted by
the coreligionists and reudered the
stock unlit for consumption by pouring
kerosene oil on It. The reasoning of
the determined housewives, who evt
deotly believed tbat by reducing tbe
supply of meat they could lower Its
price, was queer But the patriots
who took part In the- Boston tea party
did pretty nearly the same thing,
perhaps the logic of the receot pro
ceeding In the Quaker Olty was all
right, after all.
The peace conference at The Hague
la having much difficulty In reaching
agreements on even trivial points. It
would be an Ironical comment on the
relations existing today among the na
tlous of the world If any of thew dis
agreements among toe peace delegate*
should result lu war.
Coney Island gets a Are swipe every
