The coming session of Congress
should prove interesting in many ways
to the people of the nation. With the
Democratic majorities in each branch
cut down and the independent attitude
shown at times by some of the individ-
ual Democrats, there should be, al
mighty strong minority fight put up
against some of the administration
policies and thus make real test Of
the strength of President Wilson with
the people and with his party. The
war tax too, will come into effect
December first with it's constant irri-
tation upon those who will have to
pay tribute upon the luxuries of life.
1t is certain that the war tax is the
weak link in the strong hold which
President Wilson has upon the people
today Will it prove weak enough to
lose him all the prestige gained
through two years of able statesman
ship? The American people are pat
riotic benyond doubt, but it is deep
ly concealed patriotism often played
upon by the dollar anxiety caused by
the great commercial struggles which
confront every branch of industry.
The great question is whether such
anxiety will undermine the patriotic
pride in President Wilson's American
doctrines

NARROW MINDED

We do not like to see political war
fare kept up now that the election is
over, and we are certainly opposed to
some of our contemporaries who try
to belittle and slur Mr.. Alexander,
simply because as a Democrat, he has
been elected to the office of chief eX-
ecutive of the state of Idaho, and who
feel sorry for his lonesomeness. We
also stand with the Independent press
in frowning upon such warfare.
1t has been claimed that because he
has signified desire to meet with the
people before he took office, in order
to find out their wants, that he was
making grand stand play.
Well, for that matter, we are re-
minded Of several other prominent
men, such as Governor Folk, Governor
johnson of California, the Governor OF
Washington, Governor Hughes and
others who tried tn do something
equally as grand standish" and we
are certainly in favor OF such men.
Men who In order to get close to the
people, will set party ties aside. This
class of men are in demand. Not the
men who use their office for private
gain. Therefore we look upon Mr..
Aexander's movement not so much
with a desire to be conspicuouusly ac-
tive but only in the interest OF good
government.
At least it would be better to give
him credit for trying to get in touch
with the people instead of wanting to
be a mere figurehead. Franklin

The people of Twin Falls, while pur-
chasing for Christmas for their own
kin and the more fortunate people,
should set aside small sum toward
making Christmas happy occasion
for some Of the less fortunate A very
small sum spent in toys will cause
much happiness with the children,
while bringing greater pleasure to
the giver. Don't wait until the day
before Christmas when your pocket
book is getting depleted. Do it when
the sum will more nearly represent
your usual generous disposition. II
you don't know where to place the
money to advantage, call up some Of
the members of the Associated Chart

KING ALBERT THEIR HERO
Belgian People Now Realize How
Brave and Firm Man 10 Their
Monarch

Paris.-Roland De Mares, editor of
the Independence Beige, voices the
Belgian sentiment toward King Albert
by a splendid panegyric In the Temps.
The writer contrasts the supposed per-
sonality of the young monarch, who
was popularity believed to be lacking
In firmness and military spirit, with
the magnificent aspect of the heroic
figure whose name henceforth will be
inscribed for all time on the pages OF
history. M. De Mares says:
1T requires tragic hour like the
present to reveal to the world the full
measure of the nobility of his nature.
This monarch Ia duty incarnate. The
world and his people know him not.
1t was he who, In perfect accord with
his ministers, decided that Belgian
neutrality was inviolable, and had the
least manifestation of opposition
made itself apparent. he would have
used his prerogative and dissolved the
government to enforce his viii.
This 10 why he will be entered a.
q living figure on the pages of history.
This is why, in Belgium. where the
people are impregnated with the spirit
Of revolution and liberal government,
he never has fawned to the great nor
been q slave to princes.
Let US salute the king. first among
our heroes; and should tomorrow
bring us either victory or defeat, We
shall equally acclaim him In our his
tory as Albert the victorious

lief President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
tives. headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five Of the leading
railroad systems OF the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ficulties now confronting the railroads
Of the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and In the dislocation
OF credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
OF the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum Is

burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such q
confagration when the flames meet

islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently OF each other, as
we'll as through the action OF strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made Of the gen.
eral theory OF governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers Of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES 1T as "a lucid statement of plain
truth The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention

the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
am glad to do so because l think

The conference was certainly
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings Of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them. The man

not be eliminated from any business
