PRESS COMMENT.
Not Fair

IL is not fair ii insinuate that every
man is a crook to whom o. V. Allen
me %defaulting state NAV
nave paid money. either as a personal
ioan' or to liquidate Aliens personal
0eDts. 1t must be remembered that
IL Is only in the light of the defalca-
uon that it can be said that this money
came from the state treasury. The
question is whether the REGIMENTS
Knew that this was state money when
they received it and that the ~transac-
ZION was felonious. In this connec-
ZION the suggestion is most p~ertinently
made that if Mr.. Ramstedt had incor-
porated in his original report. or in
MS supplemental report, the same de-
auctions as to Attorney General Peter
son that he has since made public, it
would have been much fairer and
would have led to fewer apprehensions

AS is customary the "sportmen' are
prolific with suggestions of amend
ments to the game laws, and among
the suggestions is one to the effect
that county sheriffs be made game
wardens and that there be only he
chief warden and one deputy.
Another suggestion is that the de-
partment is spending too much money
II hat the license fees be cut down
or that part of the money be turned
over to the state to be used for other
purposes. This is a foolish suggestion.
The money coming from the sale of Ii
censes is from those who enjoy the
hunting and fishing and it is the duty
of the state to spend money so derived
pr the protection and the increase of
the fish and game of the state. If
there is too much money for the reg
ular expenses let them enlarge the ca
pacity of the fish hatcheries, let them
put in spawning ponds at Hay Spur
hatchery so that they can produce the
spawn and not be compelled to buy it
from other states or take it from the
spawners in the streams. Let them
spend 1t for screens for irrigation
bitches, where more fish are destroy
ed each year than are taken with hook
and line or are propagated in all the
hatcheries in the state.
So long as people are not complain
ing about the amount of the license
when 1t is small enough let it be the
duty of the department to see that they
get their moneys worth.-Bellevue

WHY Not ROrah9

About the only objection to Senator
Borah as the Republican nominee for
president in 1916 which the eastern
press seems able to make is that he
comes from a state with small polit-
ical Influence. This of course is true,
but more and more the people are
coming to demand that political ex-
pediency shall give way to worth and
ability. If Senator Borah possesses
the qualities that fit him for the pres
idency beyond those of other men
mentioned, he would receive the larg-
est vote, regardless of geographical
boundaries or centers of population,
and political eXpediency would be
best served as we'll as the much more
important matter of having the best
man for the place. In fact under
modern conditions. there is no polit-
ical e%xpediency except in choosing
for a standard bearer the man who
most enjoys the confidence of the peo-
pie. This being true there is no rea-
son why Idaho should not be the first
state west of the Missouri river to fur
nish a president of the United States

Senator owen, democrat, of Okla
homa, has broken into the limelight
with a dream. He wants warfare
by the United States to be left in the
hands Of the people. Before the Unit
ed States can go to war. Senator owen
thinks the matter should be submitted
to a vote OF the people Of the United
States. If Mexico or any other dipky
power jumps up and kicks Uncle Sam
in the Stats we can't resent it until an
election has been called. the people
have voted and the votes all counted.
Then If a majority want to avoid war.
all there is to do is to sit still and let
the world see hat Uncle Sam is easy.
Fine scheme. Let the people rule.

en- Of Oklahoma is a great man. this
brilliant scheme of his will dispel it.

tional amendment. Goodbye, Owen

Overwhelmed With Details.

Former Governor Haines in testi-
flying before the legislative commit
tee that is investigating state de-
%partments called attention to the la
borious details that have confronted
not only every governor of Idaho but
every other state official and that
have become morn numerous and
more exacting as the state has grown.

such growth would be taken care Of

these constantly increasing details,

gardly in providing help for its state
officials. at the same time II has
never removed from them the mass

their personal attention.

the state examining board inspect and

tremendous amount Of time and labor.

President Wilson sounded a
popular note in his message to
congress when he stated that

tive performances we witnessed

The president did not sound the
note. He merely echoed a ringing
bugle call that was sounded by the
people of the United States on No
vember 3, 1914. 1t was her the note
was sounded-a note of warning to
President Wilson and others who were
responsible for the performances We

BIG YEAR IN SIGHT.

From an agricultural and livestock
standpoint, the outlook for the coming
year could hardly be brighter. A few
weeks ago there was much concern ov.
er the cattle contagion that as raging
east of the Mississippi river but late
reports indicate that the outbreak has
practically been suppressed and within
another month the movement of live
stock will be restored to its normal
condition. On the principle of Safety
First" the National Western Stock
Show was abandoned but the business
interests OF Denver took up all the
features of the show which can be
handled without danger and added new
features and stock show week i'm Den
yer was practically as large as ever.
Stockmen gathered there from all
parts OF the west for the purpose OF
talking over the situation and making
plans for the coming year. One of the
greatest advantages of this annual
gathering is the opportunity Il Affords
the farmers and stockmen to get to-
and compare notes and acquire
an accurate understanding OF the stu
alton before commencing their years
work.

This is only one instance of the

Poor Policy.

We doubt if the house would have
passed the anti-alien bill IL all phases
of the subject had beer presented TO
1t and If its harmful possibilities had
been brought out.
To begin with there is no present
menace confronting the state that re-
quires such legislation.
Again, every state in the west hopes
TO secure desirable immigration from
Europe as one of the results of the
war.
Furthermore, there is every reason
to believe hat II is possible to secure,
In larger amounts than ever before,
European capital for investment In
western mortgages and other forms
of security.
Scotch capitalists especially have
been looking us up and so soon as
there is a more settled state of af-
fairs it is altogether likely large sums
from that source will be available.
The Holland money market, which
has been a arge outlet for western
farm mortgages, will also undoubt-
eddy be open to us again in a short
time.
If we shall, however. without better
cause than seems to exist, create the
impression that this is an anti-alien
state, W. may expect to be overlooked
both as to high grade immigration and
as to investment. and at a time when
we need investors at least. more than
ever before.-Statesman.

publicans are straining things TO
make a virtuous show over the
matter of house cleaning. A

to serve. without modification
Pending the present investigation

the g%randstand play had not been
pulled off just now, both as to the
method Of getting the result and
as TO the subject matter itself.
In short. this part Of the play is
not we'll staged. II should have
been a curtain raiser at least a
year sooner
