The Caldwell Tribune applauds and questions the city’s moral awakenings and regulation of vice, arguing that reform cycles recur with each election. It critiques polygamy defense by Elder Brigham H. Roberts and urges the Mormon Church to drop polygamy, urging steady adherence to law and reform.
The Tribune questions the Mormon church leaderships sincerity and faith, accusing some leaders of defiance and boastfulness. It denounces their claim that polygamy was once divinely commanded and sanctioned before Woodruff’s manifesto, and asserts a critical view of their actions and rhetoric.
The Capital News editorials argue against corporal punishment after a Auroria Illinois jury sentenced two 18 year old women to be well and truly spanked. They warn such methods brutalize children and fail to yield respect or discipline, calling for an end to lashes in law and schools.
A court scene is quoted in which someone proclaims that the jury were likely readers of the Capital News, implying a bias or loaded perspective in the trial coverage.
The Tribune outlines a full commencement report for the College of Idaho and notes a guaranteed $200,000 with a further $50,000 needed. The piece urges Caldwell to seize the chance to establish a great educational institution and to mobilize the Commercial Club to support the college’s development over other local ventures.
The public calls for lasting street upgrades after decades of small, failed fixes. Citizens note annual spending of $2,500 to $4,600 without real progress and urge hiring a capable street superintendent at $4,500 to direct $500 toward permanent improvements. They commend the current administration and hope meaningful work begins this year.
