The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1913-06-06

The following article from a recent
issue of the Washington Post indi-
Gates the political complications
caused by the tariff bill now under
consideration in the Senate:
unable to obtain any assistance
from their own Democratic senators
thousands of planters, manufacturers
and business men of the southern
states are now swapping the Repub-
licans of the senate with letters and
kilograms pleading for a modifica-
ton of the new tariff bill.
"Most of the letters state very
frankly that appeals have been made
to the southern senators, but that the
replies have been non-committal
"The southern senators, in the
words of one of their number, are
sweating blood" They realize, 1t IS
said, that they have been placed at
a disadvantage by the "no-compro-
mise" attitude of President Wilson.
'"The same thing is true of west
ern democrtic senators. One of them
has made the following statement to
score of his fellow members: II

mean nv defeat when | come I'D for
reelection"

swell of resentment against the
Democratic members, which will
throw many of them out OF their jobs.
There are a great many Democrats
in the senate who would like to vote
against the tariff bill. They give due
weight to the letters Of protest, but
they feel that the alternative course
Is cut off by another danger-presi-
Dental ostracism. They recognize
Mr.. Wilson as a formidable compai-
gner, and say he would go into their
states to defeat them, and that all
hope of patronage would be lost to
them if they voted against the tar

Taking advantage of the presence
in Washington of commissioner j.
H. Wallis of Idaho, Senator James H.
Brady as president of the Trans Mis-
sissippie congress, commissioned that
official to represent him at an i'm

committee of the national drainage
congress, which was held here May

This committee, representing
thirty-si states with a population of
Is, 100000, was received at the
White House by President Wilson,
and afterwards by Vice-president
Marshall, Speaker Clark, Secretary Of
War Garrison, SECRETARY of Interior
Lane and Secretary of Agriculture
Houston. All these officials listened
attentively to the purposes of the
committee in Washington, while the
president ask his aid and the aid of

give them every consideration. Corn
missioner Wallis told the gathering
of the aid given by the last 1daho
legislation in the work of retaining
swampy lands in the north part OF
the state, and the great impetus CIV
en- the good roads movement through
out Idaho.
The resolutions presented to the
president ask his aid asd the aid Of
congress for the reclamation Of
swamp and overflow lands and arid
lands, and the creation of bureau,
under the welfare clause of the con-
| stitution, which will put in effect at
the earliest possible moment such
plans for cooperation with the sew
eral states and such agencies, as will
meet with the needs of the several
localities of the United States. The
most effectual and direcv means is
thought to be the establishment of a
/ department of public works, with a
secretary in charge thereof, who
shall be a member of the President
Cabinet.

Cutting Up the Balkans.


Bulgaria, by her disastrous cam

wholly lose territorial advantage in
the Balkan war.
She has gained 1880 square miles

to Rumania, a net gain of, say, the
area of New Hampshire, upon her
former dominion. In her share are a
couple of inferior seaports on the

Opinions and Views
from the Exchanges
The End of tho Old Era.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
We have it from no less a person
than Benjamin F. Bush, the newly
elected president of the Western Pa
cific railroad, that the old public-he-
damned days of railroading in this
country are past Bush made free
and frank confession In little talk
to some business men that--the rail-
roads had very largely brought upon
themselves the popular resentmest
under which they are laboring, and
that they We're ready to turn over a
new leaf. The railroads, he said, have
seen a new light, and, instead of
damning the public, are willing and
anxious to cooperate with II.
This chastened mood President Bush
was honest enough to trace to the re-
verses with which the railroads have
met during the last year or so. They
are now pleading for some considera-
ton at the hands of the public and
some protection from the government,
because, as Bush said they are
down"
President Bush's frankness augurs
well for the public policy of the
Western Pacific under his man
agement. The public likes a man
who is honest enough to speak
the truth, even when 1t is distasteful
to him. If the Western Pacific, or
any other railroad, is sincerely desir-
Gus of cooperating with the public in
terest it will not find itself harrassed
by the determined hostility which old
style railroad policies richly earned.
If railroads attend to their proper
business of carrying freight and pas
sengers, and doing it safely, efficiently
al
worry about anything else.
Twenty, or even ten, years ago the
attitude assumed by President Bush
would have been laughed at by rail-
way magnates. The complete revo-
luton since that time marks the
coming of a new epoch in this coun-
try. No railroad or group of railroads
is big enough now to defy the public.
There has been fight for mastery,
and the people have won. The rail-
roads are clearly our servants, not our
masters.
If they are good servants they will
receive fair and just treatment.

THE early years of the life of Jean
L Henri Riesener would seem to
Indicate that he was born under a
lucky star. But long before his death,
at the age of seventy-one in the first
decade of the nineteenth century, his
star had set. Before the outbreak OF
the French Revolution he command
ed enormous prices for his work. One
small table that he constructed is
said to have been sold for more
than a thousand dollars. Yet in his
old age he was only saved from
utter ruin by his son, a portrait
painter.
Oiben, the famous and successful
furniture maker, under whom REESE
ner served as an apprentice, died and
left besides a young and handsome
widow one of the largest workshops
in Paris and a large fortune. The
young man promptly married the
widow. and upon her death six years

later came into possession Of both
the property and the fortune. Three
years later he married the daughter
of a citizen of Paris; but again his
marriage proved of short duration,
for after a few stormy years of
welded life he took refuge in the new
divorce laws of the country, and re-
turned again to the state of single
blessednesS.
Oiben, his master, had been COM
missioned by King Louis XIV. of
France to make a bureau. King
Louis was called the well beloved"
although he was really hated by the
majority of his subjects. This bureau
contributed greatly to Riesener'S
fame for it's construction took three
years, and, Oiben having died in the
meantime, his pupil completed it.

royal bureau were ornamented with

Degrading the Stage.
the PHILADELPHIA Press

Warrants for the arrest of two
leading theatrical managers In New
York were promptly issued on Mon
day by Chief Magistrate McAdoo af-
ter he had attended the performance
of a so-called white slavery" play.
The police had already complained
in open court about two of these
nauseous productions. The united
protest of the leading New York
newspapers against the plays in
question had stimulated the police.
Magistrate McAdoo's indignant de-
nunciation of them followed a per-
sonal investigation. Evidently the
public has been aroused against the
delineation of realistic scenes in evil
resorts which the magistrate, after
witnessing them, pronounced "in.
decent and immoral and in part gross
and revolving"
The specious argument is made
that these plays teach a high moral
lesson. But it is inconceivabe that
any man would take his daughter to
a house of ill-repute for the purpose,
by way of warning, of showing her
the midnight life of these resorts of
vice.
Throughout the country there is a
wondrous awakening of the public
consciousness in dealing with the
terrible evil with which these plays
are concerned. One phase of that
awakened consciousness is the growth
of a feeling of repulsion for muck
raking in this unsayory field. Meth
DDS are sought for suppressing the
evil without dragging it into the
limelight. Representing the life of
the degraded women on the stage is
not merely an offense against good
taste and good breeding, but springs
from the sordid motive of making
money out of a disgusting form of
sensationalism.
When these plays are banished
from the stage of New York, as they
must inevitably be. no reputable
manager in any other city should
allow them in his theatre. At a
time when regular theatres are
having hard struggle for existence
it is poor policy to bring the play
house into disrepute.
