a mistaken idea. The democratic par
ty, in my opinion, is doomed for defeat

Idaho to look well to her interest. Then
even were Governor Hawley elected, he

Brady should be elected. He stands
for the policies the execution Of which

will be in harmony with the party
which will be in supremacy two years
from now, and can do more for his
people than any democrat could possl-
bly, do. He has won the fight The
majority Of the people of the state
have said decisively that he was the
logical man for senator and are for
him. His ideas upon the tariff aues-
tion are sound and in harmony with
the party which has ever made pros

Nor was 1t necessary for him to point
out that the depression Is due to DEM
ocratic policies Of government, and
particularly to the free trade tariff law,
for that also was quite generally un-
derstood. But it was highly proper
that ne should dwell with emphasis
upon the situation, and what he said
should have great weight with those
who desire to cast their votes toward
restoring and maintaining prosperity
throughout the coun>Ay.
To say that the arguments used by
Senator Brady in support of the pro-
tective tariff were the same that were
advanced rs years ago proves nothing
except that the tariff continues to be
the main question which divides the
republican and democratic parties. It
can as truthfully be said that these
same arguments were heard over q
hundred years ago, for principles do
not change, and protection and free
trade represent principles Of govern
ment so vital that they have always
formed the very basis Of political par
ties and will continue to do so as long
as there Is a division Of opinion as to
the policy Of this government on the
tariff question.

The high estimation placed upon Ad-

Mr.. Smith Is one Of the most etii-

Washington in connection with mat
ters Of legislation both with Senator
Shoup and Senator Hepburn, has ia
him with Idaho, with her
every interest and with the different
localities. their peculiar local interests.
and he Is almost as well equipped for
service In the house as If he had spent
those years in actual service in that
body.
Il think 1t can be truly said that
there is no member Of the delegation
that has more minute knowledge Of
our great state and her varied inter-
ests than Mr.. Smith, and certainly
there Is no one more tireless in look
Ing after the interests Of the people OF

PSYCHOLOGY AND WAR.

Prior to the European war, accord
ing to President Wilson, there was no
business depression, or II there was II
was merely psychological and 1t was
only necessary to reverse the mental
process to restore good times. But
practical people found It impossible to
improve their condition by following
the directions OF the theorist in the
White House. and business continued
from bad to worse. Then came the
European war which shut on the mar
ket for American goods, threw Ameri-
can securities held in Europe on the
market and added intensity to the de-
pressed and disturbed business and
financial situation that already pre-
vailed. The war was bad for the coun.
try, but 1t has proved temporary life
raft for the democratic party to hang
on until after the election. It has
given the party tangible reason, al
though wholly inadequate, to offer in
Explanation Of the demoralized con-
Idition that prevails throughout the
country. With an assurance that is
wonderful to behold, democratic ora
tors and newspapers blame the war
for all the Ills that afflicted the coun-
try for months before there was war
or any intimation that there would be
one.
The fact is that the war merely hur-
ried condition which was certain to
arrive without 1t. The free trade I'm

facturers in direct competition with
the cheap labor Of Europe, did the
work Of destruction more effectively
than war. 1t was this. coupled with
the uncertain policy Of the democratic
administration, both domestic and for
eign, the continued attacks upon big
business and the constant threat Of
radical and experimental legislation
that caused slowing up Of enterprise,
closed factories and idle men. The eff
feet Of this condition was quickly
made apparent in the west, and the
record may be read in the market quo
tations for lead and zinc, beginning
many months before there was war
in Europe, which will show market
consistently weak and steadily declin-
ing prices. No amount of psychologist
cal sophistry can change the fact, nor
can the damage to American business
by the war be made to conceal the
greater and more far-reaching disaster
that afflicts the country due to demo-
cratic control of the government
