WHY ARGENTINE GOT SECRETS
THE CABINET OFFICERS EXPLAIN
THEIR ACTS BEFORE SENATE.
erty and Our Shipbuiiders
=. Needed the Help.

Washington, April 6.-In compli-
ance with resolution adopted by the
senate last session calling for infor-
nation concerning the part played by
the state and navy departments in
obtaining from the Argentine Repub-
lie contracts for the building Of two
battle ships in private American
yards, replies were sent to the senate
by Secretary Knox and Secretary
Meyer.
Both of these cabinet officers de-
Tended their course in permitting the
plans of the Dreadnaught type OF
vessels now being built for this gov
eminent and secret devices embraced
in armament. The responsibility OF
justifying the action of this govern
ment chiefly fell to Secretary Meyer,
but Secretary Knox in his answer said
the action of administration officials
was in accord with the policy of the
act of 1909, under which the depart
ment of state was reorganized and the
of American trade relations.
Secretary Meyers reply says that
the patents on the plans to be used in
this connection are not the exclusive
property of the United States. Furth-
er, he declares that this country will
benefit greatly by the exchange OF
naval construction information with
other countries.
1T was apparent he said, that If
the American competitors in the ship
building trade were to offer bids up
on a footing of equality with their
foreign rivals 1t was essential that
they receive from their government
the same assistance and support as
that which the great ordnance manu-
facturers of Europe obtain from their
government"

About Window Decorations

Those people who seem to take
pleasure in belittling their own town
and can only contrast our town with
others at the expense of our own
might profit by taking a walk thro
the business part of our city. 1t is
an acknowledged fact that one oil
the attractions of the larger cities
is found in the window displays OF
the stores.
1t is not necessary to go to the
larger cities to find artistic and
successful window displyas. Look al
the window of II. M. Jennes Shoe
store. It is a work of art from
any standpoint, and is not excelled
in any of the large stores we have
seen in Lincoln, Kansas City and
Omaha.
An while We are speaking of win
dow dressing, where will you find
more successful and pleasing ef.
fects than may be found in Mr.
Wahl's store, in Mr.. Lyford's Mr.
F. II. Schock's and several others
that might be named. Stand up
for Falls City.

Presbyterian Church Notes

If we have a great inflow of preach
ers next week to attend the meeting
at the Presbyterian church it
might not be amiss to watch the
chicken roosts. Chickens have been
known to center the ministry" and
some of them become "lay-members'
at such times. Put muzle on your
rooster so that he may not awake
echoes in the early morning, or he
may meet an untimely death
DR.. Baily says that he is having
the time of his life securing homes
for his numerous visitors here next
week. Every mail brings him a
fresh batch of post cards saying 81

ANOTHER TRY FOR DIRECT VOTE
Representative Sulzer of New York
Introduced the Resolution in the
House This Time.

Washington, April 6.-Direct cleo
ton of senators by the people is pro.
vided for in a resolution which has
been introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Sulzer of New York. 1t is
identical with Senator Borah's reso
luton at the last session, Mr. Sulzei
having consulted with the Idaho sena
tor. Mr.. Sulzer believes this will
give it much better chance of pass
ing the senate, provided it goes
through the house. Inasmuch as the
Democratic caucus of the house de
clared in favor of such bill, it is be.
lieved to stand more than an even
chance of passage.

which are more or less enmeshed in

1t was early last spring that | called
the attention of the readers of The

the part of some public men, who,
through the indorscment which the peo.
pie of the state had given them through
their franchises. were tending to give
to the altogether worthy state an un"
euviable name. 1t was the distin-
puished privilege of the Pocatello Trib-

slight reflection on the morals, as a

These prophetic suggestions appear

nor can they be driven into pure hearts

This is particularly interesting time
for the Republicans and those who arc
Independent in their political inclina-
tions, to pause and take stock of some
of the situations which confront the
people of this state.
1t is agreed that it took combina-
tion of all the unsavory reports OF the

If the state of Idaho is cleared by
the present state legislature of the ban
of suspicion under which it is (un-
fortunately resting. because of the i'm
moral acts Of the state land board of
the state-for instance-not a single
member of either body will leave for
his home without the proof conclusive
that the alliance between the Repub.
hcun party and the Mormon church
since its formation, was the most un-
holy, unrighteous and, in consequence,
the most unfortunate political combi-
nation ever made in this or any other
state.
1t is clearly within the memory of
all of the former members of Idaho
state legislatures that ever and anon
the biennial sessions of the state of
Idaho had to face and reckon with
this factor IN its organization and in
much Of the legislation which comes
before it for determination.
1t was not that Governor Brady was
Il Republican that he did what he has
done. There was and there is moth
ing in the cardinal principles of the
party Of Idaho which
makes it a prerequisite to do immoral
things. Nor have the Republicans of
Idaho any ''quit claim deed to men
thus disposed. There are evid minded
Democrats in this good state today
who are aspirants for political honors
