GERMANY'S AIRSHIP FLEET
New York Sum

New York Sum
AS the Germans are the most scien-
titic and practical people in the world,
the fact is most impressive that the
Government is planning to spend $19,-
1873 upon airships, aeroplanes and
trained aeronaus for the army in the
next three years and almost half as
much upon a navy aerial department.
IC means that Germany believes that
airships will be used in wars of the
future, both for reconnaissance and fer
attack, and that, moreover fighting in
the air will be a feature of every cam
paign on a large scale. Having this
faith, Germany is determined to be
forearmed and ready.
The German program calls for five
airship battalions with thirteen sta
tons and five aeroplane battalions with
nfreen stations for the army, and twu
squadrons of airships and six groups
of aeroplanes fifty machines now av-
ailablel for the navy. The army per,
sonnet is to consist of 173 officers, sos
non-commissioned officers and 4001
men, and the navy complement is fixed
at 1450 officers and men.
At the present time Prussia alone
possesses $50 aeroplanes, and 100 art
to be added during the summer; and 4
is proposed to have six aeroplanes in
commission and six in reserve foI
each of the twenty-five army corps, OF
200 machines in all. To each of the
thirteen airship stations three dirig.
ibles are to be attached How many OF
these great war machines Germany
now has cannot be stated. They arr
designed aud built in secrecy, and the
new ships are identified only when az
experimental fight takes place. But il
is certain that the government is plan
ming the nucleus of an aerial feet fol-
the army and navy that in course o.
time will stagger the nations. Thu
time is not far off when Germany will
have a tremendous superiority in dir
igibles over England and France COM
bined Harbor stations to accommo-
date the airships now in commission
are being rapidly built.
In aeroplanes Germany is inferior to
France, but will soon have all tho
/ hghter-tha machines that can be
used for campaigning. II the War
l0ffice's estimate of the military value
of airships is southland 1t is backed
by enormous sums of money derived
from an overtaxed people-then Ger
many will soon have an advantage ov'
, er France that might decide conflict
between them or even a war against
I both Russia and France.

CALIFORNIA; UNENVI-
ABLE POSITION
An AifrOnt as Much to the United
States as to Japan
New York World.)

In the light of the Presidents un-
official statement the action of Cali
fornia relative to the Japanese is as
much an affront to the United States
as it is to friendly foreign Power
There is nothing in the small and de-
lcreasing Japanese population of Cali
fornia that calls for hasty action.
There is even less reason for hostile
legislation in the circumstance that
Japanese happen to own one-twelfth
of ! per cent. of the land embraced in
the state.
The Administration at Washington
has asked of California nothing that its
people in good conscience could not
easily have yielded. AS the only pow
er capable of dealing with the question
Iconclusively, the National Government
has protested against local lawmakin.g
which was not needed and which could
result only in complications as trou-
blesome as they are unnecessary In
refusing to consider the larger inter-
ests and responsibilities of the Repub-
lie, California, even though now rec
ognizing a treaty which it was ignor-
ing and overriding before, has reveal
ed disposition toward the other
states almost as hostile as was shown
anywhere at any time during the gen.
esis of the secession movement.
1t is plain enough now that the pa.
triotism, patience and courtesy of Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Bryan
were wasted upon California. They at
tempted to serve that Commonwealth
as we'll as the nation. They assumed
, that they were addressing a self-re-
speeding member of the Union. They
, have discovered that their appeal was
to the Sand Lots and to a demagogut
/ in the person Of Hiram Johnson, VIII,
, cared as little for the honor of the
/; United States as he did for the sensi-
= bilities of Japan.
Our international relations are de
termined at Washington. The author
ity which is able to uphold treaties
| when made is at Washington. In the
lend California will be bound by what
! takes place at Washington. Since Il
chooses to stand upon an extreme as
se"tion of its rights, California may
/ presently discover that those rights ST
, far as Orientals are concerned, have
, been emphatically narrowed.

BCFFALOES STILL ROAM THE FAR
NORTH
New York SUM-

Edmonton, Alberta-John Leluc ,
ffench-Canadian fur trapper, believed
10 be the first white man to hunt big
game in the interior of the Hav River
district, who has come to Edmonton to
dispose of his two years catch in the
north country, reports the existence of
small herd of bison northwest of the
Beaver Hills inside the Arctic circle.
The feeding ground for the animals is
rolling prairie, with clumps of timber
here and there. Here is the story OF
the discovery:
while making long trim over thA
country to the north and west of Beav-
er Hills in the summer of 1912,havine
Wintered in the Clear Hills the year
before, l went into new territory to do
some trapping, but it did not look good
to me for fur, so | started back. Then
came upon the buffalo. There were
not many, about twelve or fifteen IN
the herd. They were feeding in a lit
tie coulee when came upon them oy-
er the ridge.
THE moment they got wind of me
they stampeded, but l saw enough to
know that they were the real buffalo,
and later in the winter, about forty
miles from the point where l saw them
the previous summer, l came upon the
tracks of what must have been large
herd. This was right in the Beaver
Hills and not a great distance from
the end of my trapping line AL
though l watched every time l was
over that part of the territory, | did
not come upon the animals"
Explorers who have been in Alber-
ta's inland firmly believe that wild
buffalo are still to be found somewhere,
in this territory, and from time to time
hunters and trappers have come out
from the north country with tales CT
such a herd, but Leduc is the first man
to come to Edmonton and put himself
on record as actually seeing such ami
mails.
Il am certain" he said with empha-
sis, that the animals | saw were but
falo and not musk or wood buffalo,
which are to be found in the north
right inside the Attic circle"

these English, now that | think of it,
in espousing lost causes. There, for
instance, was the English gentleman
who some years ago, distressed by the
sufferings of animals in Italy devoted
life and fortune to lettering their con-
dition, and still tolls on, at Rome,
founder and head of a society that has
done untold good in making life mora
possible for Brother Ok and Brother
Ass.
One could suggest some of the reas-
ons, perhaps, but certainly not all, why
above all other peoples, the English
have had success in civilizing in col
onizing, in adapting that old, firm, yet
flexible type of government to new
conditions and new climates. 1t is
partly, perhaps, because they have
had so little to say and so much to do.
With my ears still aching from our
late discussions, l ponder on that
81 cat Olu ldDlJ VI olituC6, COllDluG'l
with work, as a method of solving HUI
man destiny. England has gone on so
steadily expecting every man to do his
duty that some men, perhaps many.
have actually done it, and where that
happens there can he no ultimate ma
tional failure.

SAYS JUDGE;
FINES THE MILLINER

Chicago, May 16.-Judge Uhlir today
got even with the milliner" when the
case of William Ravid was called.
Ravid was charged with violating the
Ten-H our-L law. He was fined
$40 and costs on one charge and s. on
another charge
Lillian Boysen and Fern Cuttis, en-
ployees, testified that they worked
more than ten hours April 26,
This is the first time the Court
ever has had a chance at the pro-
prietor of millinery store" said
Judge Uhlir, smiling. "Milliners have
had me at their mercy for a long time
and this is the first time ! ever had one
at my mercy"
We'll, Your Honor, just because a
man is milliner is no reason why
me should be fined" pleaded Ravid's
attorney.
1T is easily seen you are not mar
ried man." said the Court. Il have
been soaked by milliners ever since
my honeymoon many years ago. Now

THE PRESTIGE OF THE SOUTH

Every citizen of Georgia, in fact
every citizen of the South will be in
terested in reading a little pamphlet
ISSUED by the Manufacturers Record
as a brief of the larger publication
made by that magazine recently under
the title, The South: The Nation J
Greatest Asset"
This pamphlet is issued by the pub
fishers of the Manufacturers RECORD
who issued the longer pamphlet OF
which it is a resume 1t tells briefly
the wonderful story of the South's ma
terial advancement in the past few de-
cades, a story that reads like a no
nance, so great and so varied have
been the changes that have taken place
in this section of the nation.
Taking the year 1880 as the begin
ming point, the development of the
South and the basis of its growth IS
traced interestingly and accurately.
Especial emphasis is placed upon tn
unusual rate of development shown b.
the South. Though dealing largely
with present conditions, the pamphlet
contains also a summary of past
achievement and prophecy of the
things that are to be accomplished i'll
the future.
Despite its heavy handicap, the
South has lead the nation in develop
ment even in the past Before the
war this was true. Since the war this
section of the country has forged for
ward from Bankruptcy to vast wealth,
which is constantly increasing This
advancement has been made in the
face of the fact that the South has
given more energy to the nation than
has been given to the South in return
With it's vast cotton crop and kindred
wealth tho S0uth leads the nation in
growth, which is as limitless for the
future as it has been for the past.
A perusal of this booklet will make
any Southerner hold up his head and
be prouder of this section than ever
1t is a wonderful record of a wonder
full growth, growth that is seldom
equalled anywhere

BEACH FOR GOVERNOR.

We have expected it for some time.

candidate for governor on the Repub-
lcan ticket that sooner or later north
Idaho would hit upon Hon. R. c.
Beach of Lewiston and the Kooskia
Nountaincer has finally done so. He
Is q public spirited man and takes a
prominent part in everything which
tends to promote the progress and
prosperity of that section of Idaho.
In speaking of its candidate the

I'VE are interested in the matter
OF a gubernatorial candidate from the
north. There is this much about it:
If the Republicans Of north Idaho de-
sire to make good showing in the
primaries they must put their strong.
est man to the front. He must be
. clean man-free from political deals
and unhampered by political strings
in which so many men aspiring to OF
nee find themselves entangled. He
must be business mana man who
has made a success of his own bust
mesa man who does things right
and above all, man who knows no
clique or faction. He must be broad
minded. free from prejudice-ready
and willing at all times to give all
sections of the state a square deal.
We have such man in mind, a tire
less worker, upright in every respect
and a stranger to machine or steam

SCRUTIN1z1NG PURCHASES.

One of the things that strikes .
man when he is cajoled to go out or
shopping excursion with his wife
is the extreme care with which wo.
men examine the fabrics of the ar.
ticles they buy. The average woman
is an excellent judge of the value OF
textile products.
This tends towards good buying
and wise use of household funds. It
is singular, then, that so many people
are persuaded by the handsomely il
Illustrated cuts of the mail order
catalogues to buy goods on faith
without examinati ton.
Some women will visit several
stores to find the best bargain to be
had in 25-cent stockings, but will
send away a $500 money order to
buy baby carriage in some distant
city. In the picture it looks like
perfect article, yet the chances are
even that examination would reveal
defects in material and mechanical
adjustment.
The housewife who buys near home
sees the goods and has few bargains
to regret.

MUST KEEP A-GOING.

In order that the present irrigation
projects in Idaho may be successes
Others must be undertaken. The two
projects that should be undertaken in
the next few years are the north side
of the Payette-Boise and the great
Bruneau. These two will necessitate
the spending of between thirty and
thirty-fve million dollars. That
amount of money turned loose in Ida
no during the next ten years will not
only be a great thing for all lines of
business but will at the same time
prove the salvation of the other pro-
jects. Already the farmers here and
on other projects have run up against
a lack of market. For the first few
years alfalfa will be the staple crop.

THE OBSERVATORY.

New York has its red-hot, sizzling
politics in the recent impeachment
proceedings against its Governor Sui
ger. But for real summer heat poll
ca. lightning look at old Massachu-
sets. In the old days its governor
ship candidates were booked several
years in advance. The bright fellow
who made good as president OF the
state senate or speaker of the house,
was pretty sure to become candidate
for lieutenant governor, which was
supposed to be just stepping stone
to the governorship, where, if he was
fairly acceptable, he usually served
three years. But few years ago the
Democrats had a streak of sense and
put up as their candidate a young man
by the name of Russell, who caught
the ear of the young voters OF the
state, and was chosen to the govern
orship three times, l believe. At any
rate it broke the old tradition and
spell; and since then the political road
has been rather hobbledehoy, with all
sorts of surprises. Mr.. Foss, the
present governor, made himself con-
spicuous in opposition to the leader
ship of Senator Lodge and when the
Republican leaders tried to rebuke
him, the Democrats adopted him,
chose him governor, and have re-
elected him twice. He is said to be
political puzzle. and none can be sure
as to what he will do in the months
preceding nomination and election.
For two terms he was chosen gov
ernor with the remainder of the state
officers of the old party; but last year
thc Democrats got almost all the Of
fees, which has had the effect of max
ing the real simon-pure Democrats
hungry for the political crib; it has
seemed to them that not only had
Puritan Boston left the Grand Old
Party, but the whole Bay State was
fast travelling the same path; and so
confident have they come to feel that
the man who happened to get chosen
lieutenant governor last year in the
"land-slide", who possesses the DEM
ocratic name Of Walsh, has been feel
ing all the year that, as Gov Foss has
had his three years of Office, and not
dyed-in-the-wool Democrat anyway,
it was certainly now his time to step
out and give the born and bred Dem
ocrat a chance to run for the one
step-higher place. But for months
all the wiles OF politicians have not
been able to get from Gov. Foss any
definite statement VIII ether he would
run fourth time for the governor
ship; despairing of getting any such
declaration Walsh at last announced
himself candidate, put himself in the
hands of his friends" That was TAX
en by the public to settle the question
as to who would be the Democratic
candidate, but not by any means as
settling the political status Of Gov.
