PEACE DREAM MAY HAVE RUDE
AWAKENING

The president of Mexico has served
hands off, notice on the United
States. A few biffs like this may
cause the sage of Smudge Harbor to
slow up a little in pushing his peace
policies. Just why this country
should be crying peace while other
nations are rolling up their sleeves Is
not quite clear. but some day In the
sweet by ano by this government
will be humming a different tune. II
this peace twaddle isn't cut out first
thing we know the Mexican bull
fighters will throw In with the I. w.
w. and dare Mr. Bryan and the ad-
ministration to come out In the alley.
To preach peace is a fine trait in a
man. Nobody wants to be fighting
all the time-except Roosevelt-but
the country can not afford to preach
peace until 1t borders on cowardice.
The Wilson administration is liable to
be called upon to face something
which will make Bryan's peace poll
cies look like patent medicine testi-
monial.-

VICTOR, BUT vANoUIsHEp

The signing of the peace treaty

to end one of the most dramatic and
dismal chapters of modern history. 1t

Bulgarians who are vanquished by

and so the Bulgarians suffer the loss
not only of territory. but of prestige;
prestige which, If they had retain

hegemony of federation that could

WATTERSON ON THE PRO-
TEcTORATE

Henry Watterson, the southern sage
of the Louisville Courier-Journal, in
lengthy article commendatory of
Senator Borah's opposition to Secre-
tary Bryan IS proposed protectorate
over Nicaragua, which Mr. Bryan ad-
vocates as a safeguard against any
foreign nation putting a canal in OPP
position to Uncle Samuel's Panama
canal, says:
Nothing put forth by Theodore
Roosevelt in his most ambitious and
destructive woodworking suggested
of him, or feared OF hiln-was so far
reaching and fantastic as this half
baked scheme of mistaken national
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and wanton interpa-
tional spoilation. And what is it for?
To safeguard the Panama canal in
Mr.. Bryans minds eye. That any
body could sell goldbrick to Mr..
Bryan would surprise nobody. But,
what about Mr.. Wilson? He has
been thought to be rather up to snuff.
Another canal is unthinkable.
There is not treasury in the world
not group of financiers on earth
to consider such an enterprise. In
the unlikely event that some "kaleido-
scope government" of Nicaragua
should perform some confidence game
upon some visionary collection of cap
ital the other side of Mars, seeking
moonshine investment, it would be
cheaper for us to send Mulhall over,
thanked by Lauderbach and Lamar,
to pull off a counter revolution.
"A protectorate to Nicaragua fore
casts protectorates over the Central
American states. Soon, or late, we
shall have Mexico on our hands. All
this means imperialism; and, let us
repeat, plays into the hands of the
great money combine we affect to be
so eager to quell. In short and in
fine, Woodrow Wilson. the schoolmas
ter. will do well to subject Woodrow
Wilson. the president. to a course
of philosophjc study and intellectual
discipline, whilst as for Mr.. Bryan,
the more he lectures and the longer
he stays away, the better it will be
for the administration.

THOSE WHO RUN MAY READ

It may seem little strange, un-
less you are acquainted with the pa.
per, that our democratic contempor-
airy should ask to have the difference
explained to 1t between the action of
a judicial officer of this state, who,
after clearing his docket, elects to
spend his vacation occurring In an
other state on matters pertaining to
his calling, and that of the head of
the leading department of the nation

to the nation which employs him and
the world at large, that owing % the
niggardly salary with which his mis-
erly government has supplied his Of
flee he Is compelled to forsake his
duties at a time when his govern
ment has very delicate matters up for
adjustment with two or more foreign
nations-matters which bid fair to
terminate in war-and go forth on
the lecture platform to earn the nee
essary money to keep up the dignity
and responsibility of his position. II
is hardly necessary to comment upon
the mental calibre of the person who
needs an explanation of the differ
ence between the two positions, OF
who figures that his readers are oil
such a shallow Drained class that he
can make political capital out of the
same by asking such an apparently
foolish question.
Certainly Mr.. Bryan knew the sal
airy he was to get before he accept
ed the office of secretary OF state
for 1t Is a well known fact that he
IL the kind of man who always
knows what the terms of remunera
ton are before he takes hold, and 4
he had any doubt about being ablt
to maintain his own social standing
and the dignity of the office on the
salary prescribed, he should have de
clined the position, instead of demear
ing himself and his government b,
such public fiasco.
The Caldwell News, the Lewiston
Tribune, the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal and other substantial democrati,
authorities take practically the same
view of Mr.. Bryan's conduct as doe

ABOUT VOTING HIGHWAY BONDS

b. IA. Burrell, the government good
roads engineer, when here recently
urged the taxpayers of this highway
district and all others, OF the county
to vote bonds for the purpose OF con-
structing good roads, stating that it
would prove the best investment ever
made in the communities, and he pro-
duced the figures TO show that it
would be cheap, not costing over
5000 per quarter section for bond
issue OF $25,000 No steps, however,
have been taken in this district, so
far as the public has heard, but it
should be aggitated and discussed.
Other sections, neither so wealthy
nor so sorely in need OF improved
roads as We are, are putting Mr.. Bur-
rells recommendations into practical
use: why should we not do SO?
The Richfield highway district, in
Lincoln county, which has nothing
like the taxable wealth of the Grange
vile district, recently voted good
roads bonds to the amount of $50, 600,
the bonds carrying almost without a
dissenting vote. In speaking of this
progressive move the Recorder says:
While it Is doubtful whether any
other highway district in Idaho has
made or ever will make the record
made in Richfield for forming and
bonding the district for good roads
only one vote against forming the
district and two against issuing $780,
900 bonds-almost any community of
really live ones could make 1t pay as
It will pay here to bond for good
roads. Farm life especially repre-
sents the human trait Of the old
Dutchman who was much exercised
over the reported shakiness of the
bank where he had his money. He
went TO the bank, saw the stacks Of
greenbacks and sacks Of coin, and
In his satisfaction said: "Venn you
got dot money, don't want him;
venn you don't got him, want him
mighty tam bad" There are thou
sands who want to leave the farm
over the bad roads; give them good
roads to make a quick getaway-and
they won t go at all! To make farm
life attractive through better roads.
better schools and higher ideals than
mud and shabby drudgery, Is worth
far more than all these things cost.

munities in the state to try road
