York is gratifying to every citizen
whose opinion is worth anything.
After March 4 the Empire state will
be represented at Washington by a
man who is intellectually the peer Of
any one on earth and whose record
inspires confidence. He has a mind
fitted for coping with matters more
important than patronage broking or
seeking newspaper puffs.
There were great men in the senate
a generation ago, but death and adj
vancing years have >overtaken nearly
all of them. Their successors are for
the most part mental Snonetities, and
they are never mentioned with pride
by patriots. In fact, few citizens can
name off-hand a dozen members of
what ought to be the most distin-
guished body in the world. Such
conditions will cause our new senator
to appear as giant among pigmies.

Mr.. Alvord returned Wednesday
morning having made contract for a

could not secure all the potatoes the

EDITORIALS FROM GEM STATE
RURAL.

| These are the days of farmers in
stitutes and other similar gatherings
Meridian held four days insti-
tute January II to IA, which was
engineered by w. N. Yost, G. r.
Kinzer, D. l.. Bailey, B. r. Hurst and
that spelled success.
The editor of the Rural was pres
| ent during one day while cement
construction, orchard irrigation and
building the dairy herd were being
discussed. Mr.. Yost handled orchard
irrigation in way that showed he
had been there, and Prof. Grandson
interested his audience greatly in
some fundamental dairy problems.
The cement subject was also lis
tened to with eagerness and it was
plain that many were thinking about
this material for extensive use in the
future. Professors Frandson, French,
Shinn and Nelson represented the
State Experiment Station at this
meeting. Miss Maynard was there
also and gave demonstrations in cook
ing. At Nampa Professors Shinn
and Frandson conducted an institute
January Is and 18th. The weather
was rather unfavorable and the at
tendance was not what 1t otherwise
no doubt would have been. NJ
The chief topics were those per-
tanning to dairying and fruit culture.
Among the fruit growers OF that vi
entity who gave valuable experiences
were Mr.. Verheyn and Mr.. Pittinger.
Prof. Shinn handled horticultural
subjects In very clear and practical
way. Prof. Frandson had attentive
audiences in his dairy talks. He was
reinforced by d. r. Hubbard with
an illustrated talk on the dairy COW.
Professors French and Nelson held
an institute at Aberdeen, January Is
which was good one The roads
were heavy but the people turned out
well and the visiting instructors we're
ably assisted by local people. January

support, instead of the building Of
the canal with American money be-
ing used as weapon, as already
stated, to ruin what little we have
left Of the American merchane ma
rine.
We wish to ask If, in your judg-
ment, this is q square deal? Is 1t
just that American laws should pro-
tect American labor and industries
on land and deny protection to
American interests on the high seas?
II American manufacturers, me-
chanics, farmers, miners, lumbermen,
etc, are entitled to preference from
their government In this great ma
tional work Of building the isthmian
canal, why are not American ship
owners. sailors and ship builders also
given some measure Of support, in
stead OF the building Of the canal
with American money being used as a
weapon, as already stated, to ruin
what little we have left Of the
American merchant marine.
1t is true that the committee on
Interstate and foreign commerce has
reported fayorably to the house of
representatives a resolution, which
passed without any division whatever
In the senate, applying to the trans
portation Of materials and equipment
for the Panama canal exactly the
same principle of protection or pref
erence which regulates the purchase
Of materials and equipment.
As measure Of simple justice, we
ask the influence Of your publication
In an effort to have the bill pass the
house.
It is asserted by European steam
ship companies and their agents, who
have influential representatives and
attorneys at Washington, lobbying
against the passage of this resolution
that Its adoption would at least dou-
BILE the cost Of materials and equip
ment to the canal zone. 1t is not
only possible, but may be true that
American ships would, In the begin
ming at least, have to charge little
more-for the same reason that
American machinery and other
articles cost more, but it is also
doubtless true that il the Congress
We're to adopt this resolution there
would quickly be such competition
for the business among American
shipping companies, backed by Amer
lean enterprise and ingenuity, that
before very long vessels protected by
the Stars and Stripes would be upon
every ocean, because of their modern
methods of doing this work at less
cost than foreign boats have attempt
ed to do 1t.
There is no place on earth where
freight is carried as cheaply as it is
by the steamships Of the Great
Lakes, as result Of the installation
Of the methods referred to, and what
is true upon fresh water can be
quickly made true upon salt water.
Yours most sincerely,
