A LINGO

The attempt of Congressman Gardner and some other congressional
jngoes TO make antiadminStration capital out of this countrys NIL
itry preparation OF lack OF preparation is going to prove a boomerang
of undreamed-of bareback potentialies. The Republican party was in
uninterrupted possession of this government for sixteen years, from
March A, 1897, to March a, 1913. During this time IN enormous II OF
money has been expended IN the army, navy and coast defenses. II
during all these years, and with all this vast expenditure, our national
detnses are still weak, ineffective and inadequate, where lies the e
sponsibiiy? Surely not with a n administration, less than two years
old, which has simply carried on the military policies formulated and
prosecuted in the administrations of Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft.
So much for the partisan aspects of the case. Partisanship ought
not to inter at all into consideration of so grave a national matter, but
having been dragged in by the noisy patriots who are stirring up all
the fuss, they must abide by the consequences of their W folly
Considering the question from the broad standpoint of the national
welfare and the puoic duty, all sensible people must agree with the
stand taken by President Wilson, that the question of national defense
is n important ne which should not be treated lin a sensational or par:;-
a fashion, but carefully inteligenty and with broadcast patriotism
He has nothing to conceal from congress, but he does OF believe that
the military and naval secrets of this country should be shouted from
the housetops for the ediication OF foreign governments
behind Congressman Gardeners propaganda. His lack of sincerity is
evident in his studied effort to make it appear that there is a deep,
dark plot among the president and his official family to squdch any
congressional inquiry into military affairs, and in his sensational and
unfounded statements in general The United States will have to fight
the victor in the European war may sound good to the lingo a but
both victor and vanquished will have their hands too full for years t
come, rehabiitatng themselves, to force another al with even poor,
weak, puny, insignificant, helpless, little Uncle Sam.
Another favorite argument of Gardner SHAT the latest British and
German dreadnaughts could stand III of range of the greatest guns of
II seacoast forts and demoish our ports-is equally puerne. If every
batleship of our navy e at the bottom of the sea and every ca
coast fort dismanted, or coast harbors could be as effectively pro-
tected by mine fields and Submarines as the German coast is protected
today by the am agencies.

oBTUsE JOHN BULL

There has been a good deal of just irritation aroused in the United
States by reason Of Great Brtans hgh-handed course o the eas
proposals from the British foreign office whereby it is o be determined
lin what circumstances American shippers and traders ships must opes-
ate in order to meet British views of what the situation requires"
There is a wel-defned feeling Q this side of the great pond that
the British government has never acquired the right to lay down coni-
tons for the conduct of foreign trade by American citizens, and the
mere implication that she has any such right is strongly resented. BY
the usage of nations, Great Britain as a beligerent has the privilege Il
designating the classes of commodities which will be treated by her a:
contraband of war if shipped or de tined to a port of her enemies. She
has the right to intercept and conhacate shipments OF such commodites
But she has n o right to interfere with American merchandise consign-
ed to neutral countries. Trade between neutral nations is 10 contra
band, NJ matter what the character of the goods may be, and the fat
of a belgerent power cannot make 1t &C.
John Bulls arrogance in this matter is ripe for a rebuff. The only
fitting proposal from England in this connection is one to cease inter
fering with u lawful trade and to make proper compensation for the
wrong she has already done.
For a state that depends largely upon Mexican labor that migrates
according to the season, Arizona does OF explain what it proposes 10
do under the law limiting to 20 per cent tn number of alien employees
OF any firm or corporation in that state. Its mines, farms, saw-mils
and railroads ar likely to be seriously handicapped because of this
newly erected barrier against the employment Of a class of laborers who
have done much in upbuildng the state-New York World.
Our jigo alarmists will not find it easy to convince a foreign foe OF
our unpnparedness for defense. Is it not remembered that just before
the outbreak OF the wa in Europe a distinguished French senator arose
to explain how France ws not in fighting snaps?

HANSBROUCH FOR
DISTRICT JUDGE

Geo. +. HanSbrough, who is cnadi-
date for judge of the sixth judicial
district of Idaho, comprising the
counties of Bingham, Lemhi and Gus
ter, was born in Louisville, Kentucky,
November 25, 1865, and was educated
in Kentucky. He came west and To-
Gated in Ogden, Utah, being admitted
to the supreme court of that state
in April, 1895. He removed to Ida
no, located and began the practice
of law at Salmon city, Lemhi county
in February, 1897; removed from
there to Blaine county IN 1900 and
in October, 1908, he located at Black
foot, where he has resided and been
engaged in the active practice of the
law since that time.
Mr. HaAsbrough is we'll known
Throughout the district and the state,
having had a large practice in ali
the courts of the state since coming
to Idaho. He is particularly we'll ac-
quainted in the district, having prac-
tised law extensively in each county.
He is an able lawyer. and advocate
of long experience at the bar and
has won his spurs in the practice and
he now offers himself as a candidate
for judge of the sixth judicial dis
trict of the state of Idaho, to be
voted for at the primary to be held
on the first day of September, 1914.
Mr.. Hansbrough has had charge
a larfe volume of legal business
during the past decade, and included
in it were some of the most import
ant cases ever conducted in the dis
trict. He was employed in the
famous Snake river water suit af-
fecting all the tributaries of Snake
river above American Falls, and in
which there were several thousand
litigants. He has handled number
Of cases in which large property in
IOA CoCo WCIO lHNOlN0uy UOLu pubic
and private, among them being suits
between counties and between county
and state. He has shown his ability
both as trial lawyer and as an ap-
pellate lawyer, and the record of
cases he has taken up on appeal to
the higher courts of the state and
nation is replete with successes, the
findings of the higher courts in his
favor being the final test of his own
skill in interpreting and applying the
law.
The writer's long and rather close
acquaintance with Mr.. HansDrough
and his work here covering the past
ten years, convinces us of his fitness
for the highest position in the judi
ciary of the district, and we COM
mend the question to the scrutiny
and judgment of the public, confident
that he will be elected and that he
will make good.
