He went ON to point out that
this country were somewhat ques-
toned but that today more than
ever before the republics of the
| south feel that the United States
is not seeking territorial aggran-
| diZement and that an alliance of
a military nature would not mean
absorption or domination by the
United States over the other re-
publics.
Abiding to the Monroe doc
trine, the president said:
Makes Common Cause.
I'VE still mean always to make
a common cause of national indie
pendence and of political liberty
in America. But that purpose is
now better understood so far as il
concerns ourselves. 1t is known
not to be selfish purpose. 1t is
known to have in it no thought
OF taking advantage of any gov
eminent in this hemisphere OF
playing its political fortunes for
our own benefit"
The president urged congress-
men to read the reports of the
pan-American Congress. From
these reports, said he, you will
get a fresh conception of the ease
and intelligence and advantage
with which Americans of both
continents may draw together in
practical cooperation and OF
what the material foundations OF
this hopeful partnership of inter
est must consist-of how we

WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
Dec. IA political alliance
of all nations on the Ameri-
can continent, an alliance
which would pool their mill
tary forces, naval and land,
for defense against mOnar-
chial aggression, is what
President Wilson meant by
what he said when dealing
with pan-Americanism i'm his
annual message to congress.
Owing to the fact that pam

ness purposes, the larger sig
nificance of the presidents
remarks was generally lost.
| am informed today on excel
lent authority that steps have
been taken already toward the ne.
gotiation of a treaty with the Ar.
gentine which would be Joined III
by Brazil and Chill.
Ambassador Romulo S. Naon OF
Argentine has taken the initiative
in the matter, and | am told has
made definite and authoritative
proposals on behalf of the gov
eminent to President Wilson and
our state department.
These look to an arrangement
by which the three South Ameri-
can republics would pledge them
selves to furnish 100000 men
properly trained, for any defen-
sive measures necessary to the
maintenance Of the republican
form of government in the west
ern hemisphere.
The United States in return for
the aid of this force would agree
to furnish munitions necessary to
arm and equip that number and
some arrangement would be
worked out by which the A. B. c.
countries wouli, If attacked, have
aid from the navy.
Have Splendid Armies.
The combined armies of the A.
b. C. countries are considerably
larger in numbers than the pres
ent standing army of the United
States, while their combined naval
forces muster four of the latest
type dreadnaughts, six older bat
tie cruisers and large flotilla of
destroyers and torpedo boats,
with few submarines and auxil-
liary craft.
If added to the United States
navy the combined forces would
be second only to the British navy
in size and strength.
Eventually the treaty agree
ments which it is expected will be
worked out in the near future will
go to the senate for ratification,
and at that time the details would
naturally be more fully discussed.
The president, meantime, wants
congress to be giving serious
thought to the matter.
New and More Vital Interest.
Almost in the opening para
graph of his message President
Wilson struck the note of interna-
tionalism and pan-Americanism.
He reminded congress that in
guiding our course since the Eu-
ropean war broke out, "the states
of America have become con-
scious of a new and more vital
community of interest and moral
partnership in affairs, more clear
ly conscious of the many comm
sympathies and interests and du-

AN UNDIVIDED STATE.

Senator Hutchinson, of Spokane, ac-
cording to news from Olympia, is Civ
ing his attention to getting resolu-
ton through the legislature fayorine
new state to be created by the seq
regation of north Idaho and eastern
Washington, and his plans contemplate
getting similar resolution through
the Idaho legislature. It is simply a
revival of the old scheme which per.
LOGICALLY bobs up in Spokane and rep
resents little sentiment outside thai
ambitious city. The more dense pop
ulation Of the west side dominates the
AFFAIRS of the state of Washington.
which, of course, is not to the liking
OF Spokane, hence she wants state in
which she can exercise the dominating
influence. That is about all there is to
the new state agitation, and that does
not appeal very strongly to the people
on this side of the line.
While the people of the north do
not always get a square deal from the
south, for the minority generally
has to take what the majority Is
willing to give it, still the position of
the north g far better now than It
would be attached to eastern WASH
ington, a strictly agricultural section,
and completely dominated by Spokane
Influence The next few years is go
ing to make wonderful change in
the distribution of the population of
Idaho, Railroads will penetrate the
central part of the state which will
not, only open up vast mineral re-
sources, but will also give advantages
of transportation to remote agricul-
tural sections, resulting in settlement
ana development which may shift the
center of population and make the
north an equal factor with the south
in shaping the destiny of the state,
But in any event north Idaho has no
desire to cast its lot with a new state.
and 1t is not likely that the Hutchin-
son resolution win receive much at
tention at the hands of the Idaho leg

PROPOSED NORTH AND SOUTH

Lee Highly, chief engineer of the
Pacific & Idaho Northern railroad. ha
Issued through the Statesman an in
teresting and instructive statement on
the proposed railroad to connect north
and south Idaho which should receive

fact that his business has necessarily
given him great familiarity with the
section of the state that would be
traversed by the road, His Judgment
Is that the character of the country.

ductive wealth, is such that 1t would be

state than the development and oper-
alton Of its mines. In fact, one of the
main purposes 10 be achieved by the
advocates Of the north and south rail-
road Is to bring the mining and agri-
cultural sections into closer touch to
the end that the market offered by the
former may be made accessible to the
latter. The closing of the gap between
New Meadows and Lewiston would
between the south and large part of
the north, while the construction Of a
short span down the North Fork Of the
Clearwater from Elk River to the main
stream, would complete continuous
railroad connection between the ex-
IRENE ends of the state without leav-
ing its boundaries. The social and
business relations Of the north
and south make this pressing
necessity now, while the advantages 10
be gained by the opening of new ter
rltory and the development of latent
resources are matters that should com
mand the serious consideration of
those who would contribute to the ma
.erial advancement of the state.
