One reads in the lukewarm report
of the game that DAILY hit a magnif-

That is so direct and simple-so cor

try our government pursued a wise
policy Of watching and waiting. We
took the view it was primarily a Mex

1t out. President Wilson refrained
from armed intervention and took no
part in the strife save to express i
desire for a constitutional government

ment founded on murder and tyranny
The recent behavior of the Huerta
contingent. however, places US in a
different position entirely. We arc
no longer in the position of big

Tampico American marines sent
ashore on official business were ar
rested and placed in Jail. At an
ether time a marine sent ashore with
the official mail bag to secure the
mail for one of the battleships was
arrested and jailed. All of this with
out the slightest provocation. It
seems a plain attempt to insult the
United States. Nor are these the only
instances complained of. The with
holding Of official messages sent the
American charge d'affairs was a more
serious insult still.
Either because he is an ignoramus
or has no control over his forces

he will have to make quick amends

make him an easier victim for the

is possible Huerta is anxious to be

Referring to the criticism in the
Statesman Friday with reference to
the governors proclamation for "clean
up week" in Idaho being set for such
a late date as May A, State Sanitary
Inspector James H. Wallis a y it
must be remembered that all sections
of the state are not as advanced, so
far as the seasons are concerned, as
Boise, and that there are some places
yet In the state where they are still
using sleighs to get over the snow
covered ground, and that while this
month might be a good time for a
"clean up" for such favored sections
as Boise, yet. to make il general a
time had to be fixed when it would be
applicable to all sections, just the
same us it has to be for Arbor day.
Consequently, the beginning of May
was thought to be a good time. 1t
was known at the time the governor
issued his proclamation that a number
of cities where the seasons are early,
had set a time for a general clean up,
but that Toes not preclude them from
joining in the state wide movement on
the day set in the proclamation.
"Dirt is dirt all the time and always
harmful" said Commissioner Wallis,
land vigorous cleaning in spring time
and little of It the rest of the year is
not unlike the man who takes a good
bath once a year and contents him
self with just washing his hands and
face the rest of the time.
Now is a good time to start some
thing and accordingly the movement
is on to make Idaho a cleaner state
than It has ever been i'm the past. Dur
ing the week beginning May 4. 1914.
%henceforth to be known as clean up
week. every citizen is expected to take
a hand in this clean up movement.
None are so clean that they cannot
be cleaner.
Every dirty yard. every dirty vacant
lot, every dirty basement and
house. every dirty barn. every dirty
store, alley and street must be cleaned
up. It must be the business Of every
citizen and of every nonresident hold
er Of property TO clean up his dirty
premises at this time. Failure to
clean up will not only serve to empha-
size habits Of uncleanliness but Il will
lead to something which will be more
likely to jolt the sensibilities Of the
guilty ones and incidentally their
pockethook Idaho expects every man
TO do his duty.
Make General Crusade.
Sometimes when we go into a COM
munity on an official inspection and
find people guilty Of maintaining nuts
ances. they attempt 10 evade nrose-
cution by telling MS that the mavor
has SET a certain time for q clean up"
and that they have made all arrange
ments to remove the Objectionable
conditions NJ that time. OF course
the probability is that we DO not re-
turn to that particular town for
months afterwards, and we do not
know whether they have done what
they agreed to DO. Now that the gov
ernor has officially designated q
"clean up" week for the entire state.
we are going to make a Wholesale
crusade against every offender who
fails to do his part to produce i'm
proved sanitary conditions in Idaho,
Our force of deputies will be instructed

leaked out several days ago hat the
former governor wrote to the depart
ment IN Washington to the effect that
ne still desired the appointment OF
Jones. but that n Jones could not be
appointed then he would be glad TO
see Martin appointed. as he consid-
cred him a good man for the place.
As Martin had already been urged by
the Observation-Disclosures forces.
his appointment followed as a matter
OF course.
Thomas b.. Martin Is a brother OF
Frank Martin. the former attorney
general, and Il is natural to assume
that this had something to do with
the final settlement OF the contro-
versy. He was chief Of police in
Boise under the administration Of
Mayor Pence. and since then has been
engaged In farming operations. Al
though claiming TO be a lifelong DEM
ocrat. he has taken but little active
part In local politics.
shad Hodgin Holds Over.
Shad l.. Hodgin. the outgoing mar
shall. has held on for more than a year
under a Democratic administration. at
a salary OF $4,000. because OF the fac
tional fight among the local Demo-
Gratis. Marshal Hodgin's four-year
term really expired in December,
1912. He held over under the bal
ance OF President Taft's term. and has
held on since March 4. 1913. under the
administration OF President Wilson.
While I'm the marshal's Office he has
made a study of the law; he was adj
mitted to the bar some time & and
is now prepared to practice his pro-
fession.
II Is presumed that Mr., Martins APP

delay and that he will be commits
stoned TO take charge OF the Office IN
a short time. There are still two or
three deputies and a s~tenographer to
be appointed In the office.
