il has often been said OF the Demo-

dead; endorsed Republican policies
after that party had enacted them into

Republicans had used them with sue

Before this pretty little scheme can

Parker people have got to get their

With the exception of the Japanese

The education OF the girls in the lit

careful than that OF the small boys.
The well bred Nina, though her sum-

MILITARrsT sseELow

I y THE National Magazine for Sep
TENDER. Poultney Bigelow. pro-
fessor Of International law at the
Boston university. has an article on
the German Military System and its
Relation 10 Civil Liberty and Aneri-
can Institutions Mr. Blgelow be-
lieves that the United States would
do well to copy, in part. the German
military system. He sees disadvant-
ages in that system but he sees also
numerous admirable features. Among
other things Mr.. Bigelow says:
with a population of 100000. we
ought to keep a militia force of re-
OO0 always under arms-that means
one to each hundred of the populs-
ton. This force should not, like the
present militia in New York. be en-
listed for a long term Of years, but
should be thoroughly drilled for a few
weeks. and The men sent back TO their
avOcations. No man should be kept
in the ranks longer than necessary TO
prove that he had learned the rudi-
ments OF the soldier drill. Then for
the next few years lie should be Liable
in military field operations where he
might familiarize himself with camp
ing out, judging distances, reading
maps. and other details that cannot
be learned in armories."
We doubt If Mr.. Bigelow VIII md
many Americans who win agree that
this country stands in need of what
would practically be a standing army
of more than three-quarteTs Of a mil
lion men. It is all very well in time
of peace to prepare for war, but our
experience has abundantly demon
straJed our ability to prepare for war
after hostilities have actually begun
The geographical isolation of this
country makes large standing army
not only unnecessary but altogether
undesirable.
1t was Abraham Lincoln, was it not,
who said that if all the nations Of the
world should combine against this
country. with all the wealth of the
world at their disposal except the
wealth. of the United States, their
armies could never reach the summit
Of the Blue Ridge mountains or drink
from che headwaters OF the Ohio river.
THE statement is plain truth, whether
Lincoln said it or not No fOreiea foe
could ever gain a permanent fOcthOld
on our shores.
Mr.. BigeloW has spent more of his
life in Germany and other foreign
lands than in this country. II he had
lived in an American environment he
would not be what he is today, d
militarist OF militaTists.

THE IDAHO MEASUREMENTS.

T HERE IS a curious situation rela-
1 tive to the Idaho state treasurer
ship. 1t is a situation which should
result in the election Of Timothy
Regain. nominee Of the Democrats, TO
the position.
In a conversation with Alfred Oen,
cashier of the Boise National bank,
and a citizen who stands very high in
western financial circles. The Herald
has learned that the state treasurer
ship in Idaho is worth many thou
sands Of dollars a year. The salary is
but $4,000, but tie treasurer draws
interest on daily balances Of from
800 GOO 10 81 200. eco. He has no sta
Iutory right 10 the interest on the
state funds. he has no lawful right,
indeed, to place the money in any
bank except as a special deposit, but
he does draw the interest and he does
deposit the money IN favored institu-
lions in the regular course OF business
The Democrats at Lewiston placed
IN their platform a strong declaration
in favor of turning TIE interest de
rived from state funds into the state
treasury They also went on record
as in favor Of the passage of a law
compelling banks receiving public
funds to furnish security therefor.
The Democratic nominee stands
squarely on both Of these plaHks- He
is a man OF large means and does not,
therefore. need the money the state
treasurership has paid in the past.
More, he is known throughout the
state as man wI.O always keeps his
word His bond is good for any
reasonable amount OF money and his
simple word is as good as his bond
UnleSs some changes are made in
the statutes. preferably along the
lines laid down by the Democrats.
Idaho may some day lose @ good deal
OF money There has been no hint Of
dishonesty in past administrations Of
the treasUrer's Office, there is none
now. But the possibility is there and
a law should be passed To guard
against it. The law says distinctly
that TIE state funds shall. be special
deposits. This means that the banks
where they are placed viii not be per-
mitted TO Use them in any way what
ever
Now no bank in Idaho VIII take the
money as a special deposit. It would
not be to their interest to become
custodians Of with full responsibility
for. money from which they could
derive no benefit. The treasurer can
hardly be expected to walk around
with the money in his pocket Neither
should he keep it in q bureau drawer
or some other unsafe place. he must.
III the nature of things. violate the
law And, having violated the law,
and the state having winked at il. It
is the opinion of eminent lawyers that
in the event of "a defalcatiou not a dol
lar of the treasureT's bond of only
$4,000 could be collected. The state.
under existing conditions, is defense
Less.
The candidate of the Republicans for
treasurer is opposed to tie passage OF
the laws suggested by the Democratic
platform. This fact alone should be
sufficient TO cause his defeat.

WHY WHEAT IS SOARING

VI ITH a suddenness as startling as
" it was unexpected wheat has ia
ken q jump in prices until at the close
on Saturday it was quoted in Chicago
a SL12 1t for September delivery. O.
- cents a busheI higher than cash
wheat on july I, and 50 cents higher
than the September option was quoted
at the opening Of July.
The contributing causes of this aston
isBmg advance are numerous. Foreign
crops are not up 10 the average in
quantity or quality. the fall wheat
crops here at home were injured by
showers during harvest time and bv
floods, the spring wheat crop was
threatened with destruction by drought
and now Is said to be in danger from
heavy rains in the United States and
premature frosts in Manitoba and the
other Canadian provinces where it is
grown.
That these adverse reports are not
altogether baseless is shown by the
course OF the stock market which is a
fair barometer and usually in close
touch with actual conditions. Stocks of
what are known as the granger rail-
roads. traversing the wheat belt. have
been depressed by the prospect of a
shortage in the crop and resultant de-
crease in earnings.
While the advance in price may be
OF advantage 10 the fortunate few who
have large holdings, 1t IS not likely to
help the farmers much. particularly in
the fall wheat districts where
deliveries to buyers have. been
very heavy for the past six
weeks. IN that region probably eighty
per cent possibly more, Of the crop has
left the farmers hands and is now in
storage either as grain or flour. In the
spring wheat districts, the growers may
set more benefit from the advance.
though IL is a custom there to sell in
advance 81 the harvest. so that taken
as a whole, the grain viii go 10 the

pens 10 have good stocks and the mer-
chants VINO have accumulated heavy
supplies Of flour.
To the consumer this tale Of higher
prices spells loss, particularly where

is 4 serious matter. throughout the
entire east the tendency Of wages Is
downward while the cost Of living Is
still maintained at the trust made scale
which leaves avery small margin be-
tween earnings and expenses. Meat and
.provisSons have advanced and are still
moving inward; the absolute necessaT-
les are al higher than they have been
for years. fuel is a fixed quantity in
price while rents have shown little in
dication of recession.
Altogether. the rise in price of wheat
is hardly an unmixed blessing and viii

cial and industrial situation this year.

a PROPER STAND.

THE stand taken by the International
L Typographical union on the subject
Of service in the militia in the various
states has not received the favorable
notice to which. in our judgment it is
entitled. At the recent general meet
ing of the union at St. Louis a resoIu
ton in which it was declared to be the
sense of the organization that its mem
bers could not retain their good stand
ing in it and at the same time belong
TO the national guard was promptly
voted down. Then a resolution declar-
ing that no members standing should
be impaired by militia membership was
adopted by an overwhelming majority.
The International Typographical
union stands certainly second In the
list of substantial, conservative and
capable trades unions in the United
states. The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers is perhaps at the top of the
list. And the engineers occupy exactly
the same position with reference to
militia service as the members\ OF the
International Typographical union. The
public generally viii have considerable
more respect for trades unions If they
viii all manifest a friendly feeling for
national guardsmen.
