CAN THE STATE DO HO WRONG?
The Supreme Court of Idaho has de
cided, in effect, that the state can do no
wrong. "It holds that a sovereign state
mnnn Iibuiiiimuad an error
in the arrest and detention of Mover,
Haywood and Pettibone on suspicion of
being the murderers of ex-Governor
Steunenberg. The officials who arrested
these men and carried them from Colo
rado to Idaho might have done wrong,
and if so, they are amenable to the law,
but the state of Idaho has done no wrong
and can hold the men first suspected and
now indicted ur.til they are either con
victed or acquitted, if convicted she can
do with them as the law provides. ,
The United States circuit court of Idaho
has refused write of habeas corpus to
Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone, and an
appeal is now before the Supreme Court
of the United States. It is to be hoped
that the highest court will soon settle the
question of whether or not the state of
Idaho has the right to hold men alleged
to have been Illegally deported from
Colorado. The American people have
confidence that the decision of the United
States Supreme Court will be right and
just, and the Western Federation of
Miners should await that decision with
patience and accept it ae loyal American
citizens.
If the farmers of Oregon do not have
their fair share of men in the various
elective officers from now on they will
have no valid grounds of complaint. The
primary election system gives the farm
ers the fullest opportunity to make their
influence felt. There are also a goodly
number of candidates, including several
of those who are farmers or are engaged
in some branch of agriculture. There are
more voters who are farmere than there
are of any other occupation and eeveral
of the ablest and most prominent candi
dates are farmers, fruit growers, ect It
remains to be seen whether farmers
really wish to see farmere in office or
are saying something they do not really
mean when they complain about farmers
not getting their share of offices. In
other words it is now up to the farmere
to vote as they talk or shut up.
As primary day approaches the interest
naturally Increases and everything now
points toward a large primary vote.
This is as it should be, while all changes
at first are criticised, the benefits of this
new system of making nominations are so
great over the old method, that It is here
to stay. The Australian ballot system
was condemned by not a few during the
first few years, but now the man who
would euggest its abolishment would be
looked upon as a freak. Thus it will be
with the primary law. The people must
do their own investigating and must take
a great deal of interest in the primaries
and they will, as soon as the system be
comes thoroughly established.
Statement No. 1, another year will
mean an obligation binding upon
the
legislative nominees of the respecti
ve
parties, to support for the United States
senate the men of their party who receive
the largest number of votes.. It was
never intended to mean ' anything else.
No one should expect a Republican legis
lature to elect a Democratic United
States senator or vice versa. The pri
mary law was not intended to disrupt
political parties but to curb the power cf
dictators and bosses, and to provide a
method whereby a man with a sack can
not corrupt a legislature as has been
done time and time egain in this state.
