WASHINGTON, D. c., April %
Last week the Republicans of the
House adopted a resolution pro-
viding for open conference and eau
cuseS of the House members and
in doing so advanced another step
In line with the demand of pro-
gressive Republicans for the past
several years.
The members of the Republican
party in Congress appear to be
fully impressed with the signifi-
canoe of Republican defeat in the
last election and are bending their
energies toward a policy of pro-
greSsive legislation that will com
mend itself to the country.
They believe that this course is
essential to the life of the Re-
publican party and they believe
that the rank and file of the Re
publican party will sustain their
actions
Among those who are earnestly
working for the committing Of the
Republican party to definite pro-
gresSiVe policies among the mem
bers of preceding Congresses are
Senators Cummins, BOrah and La
Toilette, and Representative Len
root. French. Davis and others
who are as we'll known as pro-
greSSive Republicans. The Republic
cans of both House and Senate
are greatly impressed with the dis
patches that have told of the out
come of elections this spring.
In Michigan for instance. where
last fall the prOgreSSives as a par
ty led. a couple of weeks ago in
the off year election of several
State officers. the Republican tick
ct was successful. while the Pro-
gressive ticket had fallen back to
a poor third.
In st. Louis. where the Pro-
greSsive ticket received $500 votes
last fall. the Progressive municipal
ticket received recently 1901 votes
as against more than $1,000 votes
for the Republican ticket and &c.
900 for the Democrat. The Soci-I
alist ticket received 10000.
In Chicago in the November elee-
ton. Roosevelt carried the city BY
5000 votes over Taft, while in
the municipal election last month
Jiit ItctODtltdA tdltbludtt ltlt4N I'll
.hree times as many votes as the
candidate on the Progressive ticket /
Republicans, still smarting UNDER
he rebuke given by the rank and
lie last November, are confident /
he rank and file of those who ad-
the rebuke are still Re
Dubicans, as indicated by the vote
n Chicago, Michigan and st. Lou
5, and that they do not propose to
llign themselves definitely with a
bird party. At the same time,
'andid Democratic leaders see in
he heavy swing to the Republican
,arty, the possibility of a Re
publican Congress two years from
low with Republican President
our years hence of such type as
iadley, Oummins or Bofah.
II is generally admitted that
$ TO geography alone, Senator
'orah would be a strong candidate

An Old Precedent Smashed.

Secretary Of the Interior Lane
has smashed a sixty year old pre-
cedent at the request of Congress
man Smith. MT. Smith was ap-
pointed Register Of Land Office at
Boise by the President in 1907 on
the recommendation Of about one
hundred Of IdahO's leading citizens.
including the Idaho delegation in
Congress. Their letters were filed
in the archives Of the Interior de-
partment along with thousands of
similar endorsements Of other fed
eral officials. MT Smith desired to
have these papers returned TO him
that he might preserve them for
his children a. an heirloom and
made a formal application TO Sec
rotary Fisher about a year ago for
them. The Secretary replied that
in 1853 an order had been issued
that no letters Of endorsement on
which favorable action had been
taken could b. returned and that
he was unable to comply with the
Request. Mr.. Smith made a per-
SOnal call on Secretary Lane re-
ferring to the musty old order
which the Secretary Immediately
proceeded to cancel stating that
there was no possible reason Why
these papers should be retained in
the files. His action Will probably
result in a general clean I'D of the
old papers which it is believed now
must weigh several tons and which
are stored in the basement Of the
Interior Department.

THIS FINE PERcHEoN STALLION
Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1913-05-02

The following are resolutions adj
opted at the annual convention Of
of the Columbia and Snake river
Waterways Association at Pendle-
ton, Oregon, on April 18th, and
wired to Senator Brady by the As
ociatiOns with an earnest request
for his support:
We deprecate the widespread
propaganda manifestly carried on
by the great railway interests
law providing for free tolls for
American shipping through the
Panama Canal. We believe the
principle of American control Of
American enterprises built upon
American territory to be an nyiO-
late right which cannot in the
very nature Of National sovereign
ty be jeOpardized by the simple
treaty rights entered into with any
other nation and therefore the
claim that the granting of free
tolls to American shipping IS a
violation Of the Hay, PauneefOOt
Treaty Is self evident SOphistry
equal rights to all foreign nations
as such in the use of the Panama
Canal is all that in justice and pea-
son could be expected Of the
American Nation.
We believe the propaganda for
tolls for American shipping at the
Panama Canal involves the princi-
pie of tolls at all national canals
and government built waterways
and is purely in the interest of
the corporate transportation en-
terpriseS Of the nation and sub
VerSiVe of the freedom of water
ways competition. Therefore. be
it hereby resolved that this aSSo-
citation strongly urge the present
American Congress and the Nation
al Administrator to sustain the
law adopted by the preceding Con-
greSs respecting tolls at the Pan /
anna Canal"
Senator Brady has visited thel
President as also the chairman of
he Interoceanie Canals Committee
in the interests of this legislation.
He Is a strong believer in the Free /
Toll Bill as passed by the last
Congress, and it is believed that
on account of his practical knowl-
edge and experience along this line
he Will WELD an influence when
he matter comes before Congress.
Upon the invitation of the Ma
.ional Woman's Suffrage AsSOcia-
ion, Representative French appear
ID last week before the WOman's
suffrage Committee of the Senate,
md urged the passage of the
