politicians appear to be parayzed by it.
Certainly nothing but paralysis could prevent those
politicians from attempting to make political capital out
OF such SITUATION or situation which would promise
them opportunity to return to power.
Have they not pleaded upon Bonded knees in standing
posture and lying downhave they not appealed in
and out OF for calamity to befa the nation
Have they not aided and abetted every sentiment and
nfed every condition that gave promise of stagnatng
business, turning out of employment and bringing
hunger and want to and children the nation
What then but sheer paralysis could them to be
silent at this time?
Pretty soon, however they may be expected to regain
partial consciousness and to the power of speech
Then it may be expected that they will seize upon this
great world misfortune of war; seek political gain at the
of the welfare of the entire people of our nation
Their voices will not be raised then aiding in the so
luton of the difficulties that will surround our nation and
discord and in louder and prolonged bowls for
calamity
This must be true because the Republican party of to-
day. under the leadership of those who control its
TIMES, is not constructive party It's greatest achieve
men is to stand STILL to let well enough alone to wait

done to benefit Them the thinking people, and the poll

nothing constructive progressive to offer the peoples

it is awaiting more favorable opportunity to take adj
vantage of any distress that may have been able itself

IDAHO FARMERS GOLDEN oPPoRTUNI7

The wise Idaho farmer will this fall and next spring
make every that possesses count for every cent that
it is worth in the production of food supplies There is
especially an invitation just now to sow wheat
Not only will there be such demand from Europe for
American wheat that every available for its produc

of shortage portions of country through

such a calamity need not necessarily follow.
Whether the European shall continue many
months as now seems probable whether there shall
be cessation of hostlties that country will be short
in its food supplies because already the harvests in many
of surplus wheat and other food products the whole world
has this wear will be consumed and that much
higher demand for such supplies next year should
cease time for the sowing of crops this fall in the
stricken nations which is not at all likely to be the
for even if hostties should time would be

This is the most favorable contingency to such nations

THIS ATHLETIC BUSINESS CAN EEAsILY OVERCOME

1t would appear that young Mr.

quaintance, is bent upon converting
her to the vigorous life. of the great
outdoors. While he hasn't said any
thing Of the sort as yet he apparently
thinks that Peggy requires more exer-
cise 1t seems to be his determination
to see that she gets IT.
For that matter, Peggy herself has
often felt that she'd like to be athletic.
At one time and not so very long ago
she had aspired to be a girl tennis
champ till blister OIL her heel came
along and spoiled 1t ALL And then la
ter she planned to go in for long dis
lance swimming and she might have
done quite we'll with that had she been
able to learn to swim a bit. It has
always seemed with Peggy that when
ever she finds a new interest some
thing interferes to ruin all her plans.
She has achieved a real liking for
Mr.. Todd, however, and she feels that
under his able tutelage she should be
able to make real progress. For a neo-
phyte she did very we'll indeed at golf
yesterday. Mr. Todd was encouraging
and said that with constant practice
she would be able to play as we'll as
any other girl he knew.

PRESS COMMENT
Not as Logical as Usual.
(Portland TelegramD

Senator Borah, of Idaho, is generally
conceded to be one of the most bril-
liant and logical men in the upper
branch of the national legislature. But
the senator from Idaho slips a cog
when he engages in the discussion of
the trades commission bill. Mr.. Borah
argues long and painstakingly against
what he condemns as the loose use Of
the term unfair competition" He
seeks to prove in fact that the power
Of deciding what competition is fair
and what is unfair cannot, or at least
ought not to be left in the hands of
any commission; that under present
conditions it does not lie within the
perspicacity of a commission to make
the distinction justly and with good
effect.
If we are TO deal in a legislative
way with competition at all, or with
its antithesis, monopoly, there are only
three possible basic conclusions to be
reached-the' one that all competition
is fair the other that all competition
is unfair, or at the best undesirable,
and last that some of it is fair and
some of 1t unfair The first assump-
ton is palpably untenable If the
second were sound, socialism would be
the logical conclusion; and whatever
may happen eventually, we are not yet
ready for socialism. The only as
sumption left is the one to which the
bill proceeds, and the only one upon
which 1t can proceed If a commission
is to be created with functions of
trade regulation of similar effect to
those exercised in traffic by the inter
state commerce commission. Whether
we need such a commission or not
men may debate, but that this power
proposed to be conferred upon It should
be urged as a chief objection to its
creation is singularly at variance with

the history of the one federal COM
mission which has made governmental
regulation of big interests a pro-
nounced success.
Argument of the same general drift
arose in discussion pending the ere
alton of the interstate commerce com
mission. 1t was held to be an unheard
of thing. almost as a bit of inconeeiv-
able legislative madness to confer on
that commission the authority to de-
termine what was a fair and reason
able, and what was an unfair and I'M
reasonable rate. The commission was
created with that power conferred
and it has gone on for some years de-
termining the fair and the unfair rate
quite to the satisfaction of the pub
lie. We do not think that even the
railroad authorities seriously contend

Peggy had found that she felt rather
worn out after walking so much. She
complained that she had never been a
very good walker and she-but Mr..
Todd knew just the thing for that.
Walking is like anything else, he said,
and required practice.
That's why 1t is that we md Peggy
quite a way from home today and in an
attitude of extreme languor. At Mr..
Todd's suggestion they had essayed a
cross country jaunt that Peggy might
practice walking. And after some
seven miles or so over hills of varying
activities Peggy is completely tuck
cred out She admits that if her life
depended on 1t she couldn't take an
oher step. Mr.. Todd begins to feel
that he thinks that they've gone a
little too far.
Friends passing in an auto at this
moment pick them up and Peggy con-
siders that they are very fortunate.
She's sure she doesn't know what they
would have done had she been forced
to walk. Mr.. Todd doesn't regard 1t in
quite so despairing a way.
"Shucks. l could easily have carried
you home." says the vigorous and
muscular Mr. Todd,

appealed to her husband, ito keep us
from this even If everything else

The Author Man, with a slightly
curled lip, admitted that he thought
there was, and his wife relaxed well,

came entirely cheerful again.
The misery and sordidness had now
lost all power to sadden her. She was
reasonably sure it couldn't come into
her life and that was all that matter
ed.
l think there are a great many peo-
pie like the Author Mans wife who
are SO sensitive that they are deeply
moved at the sight of misery-because
it makes them fear that such things
might some day come to them or
theirs. But take away that fear and
their serenity is entirely restored
The mere thought of suffering for
themselves saddens them far more
than the actual sight Of other peoples
sufferings.
There are even people in whom the
sight of other peoples sufferings seems
to induce a sort of Thanksgiving:

and most poignant thought.
OF course 1t is one of the laws OF
nature that man in his natural state
should think first of himself, but have
we not raised ourselves an inch OF

And even If we do think first OF
ourselves, that does not mean that
all our thoughts need be selfish. Sup

that this power has been abused, or so
enormously exercised as to result in
serious loss to anybody. There has
been no occasion for any thing like
serious criticism of the commission
in its decision upon any question of

It is a real pleasure to work fol

The Cement Stave Silo Company

WISCONSIN MARRIAGE LAW
TTNC0NSTTTTrTT0N

The apparent deadlock in Wisconsin
over the amendment to the marriage
law requiring physicians certificate
as condition for a marriage license
has been broken, for the present, at
least, by the decision of the Milwaukee
County Circuit Court that the law is
unconstitutional and void. The mat
ter was brought before the circuit
court on an application for a writ of
mandamus, directed against the coun-
ty clerk, ordering him to issue mar
riage license to an applicant without
health certificate. The court held that
the amount of fee provided for the ex-
aminations as required by law was
unreasonably low, and that the law
was an undue interference with per-
sonal liberty. This decision, while
only that of a circuit court, will act
as stay to the enforcement of the
law until the higher courts have
passed on the question. Probably no
other topic has inspired so large an
amount of newspaper comment in the
past month. Wisconsin's experience,
says The Journal of the American
Medical Association, should be q
warning to state legislatures not to
enact hasty and ill-considered laws
on complex scientific subjects. The
discussion of eugenics, race better
ment and marriage regulation is pro-
ductive of a large amount of good,
but premature efforts to crystalline
hastily formed opinions into laws can
result only in confusion.

COUNCIL MEETING
Third Meeting of New Council With
All Members Present-Final Esti-
mate on Brunell Street Improve
ment-End of Quarantine-Side-
walk Committee Return Thanks.

The third meeting of the council
that still has claim upon the title
New, inasmuch as it is only one
month old, kept up the record of per-
feet attendance established at the
previous meetings in January. Every
councilman was in his pace about the
board, the Mayor presiding. In the ab-
sence of Clerk Orth, who was spending
the last hours of quarantine confins-
ment in his home, the Mayor appoint
ed G. ]. Ives clerk pro temp. and ex-
clerk Deyo was present to assist in
accomplishing the work Jof the ses-
sion. The minutes of the last regular
meeting were read and approved and
the finance committee wrestled with
the bills which had been flied, bills
which very forcibly reminded the coun-
ell that smallpox had been present in
the village. The fact that the city
engineer had filed final estimate of
the cost of the Brunell street i'm
provement was made known and the
council passed resolution appoint
ing F. E. Kenyon, q. F. King and
Frank S. Ham as a committee to
assess the costs Of this improvement
upon the property determined by or
dinance to be benefited thereby. The
total cost of this improvement will
be $15.542.22. The next matter taken
up by the council was the question of
the disccntinuance of the services of
the doctor employed to look after the
smallpox cases; the health officer re-
ported all cases recovered and quar-
antine to be lifted in a short time,
the extreme extent of the period
of lawful quarantine having been
observed in all cases. The council
voted to discontinue the services of the
doctor from this day as such services
seemed to be no longer required. The
sidewalk committee expressed them
selves as highly gratifed with the re
sponse which citizens generally gave
to the reference made by the COM
mittee to the sidewalk cleaning ordi-
nance, with but very few exceptions
the citizens had their walks cleaned
long before the twelve hour limitation
expired and the sidewalk committee
are very thankful FOR the hearty and
willing cooperation. Those who were
the exceptions to the above were con-
sidered and the Marshal was instruct
ed to notify such parties and if they
still failed to comply with the re-
quest, the Marshal was instructed to
report such cases to the street com
missioner who will carry out the pro-
visions of the ordinance.
Complaints of water dripping from
caves to the sidewalks where it
freezes making dangerous place for
pedestrians, causing several to fall
quite recently were referred to the
committees on sidewalks and buildings.
Complaints of muddy street cross
ings on the Lake Short Railway were
referred to the street committee. A
bad hole in the Shoop avenue bridge
was referred to the street commits
gioner with instructions to repair.

Hyomei often restores health to

at the start of the disease when the
breath is becoming offensive, and
constant shifting, discharges from

of catarrhal trouble, surely use Hyo-
