CHICAGO.

The Chicago Herald-WoodrOw Will
son has spoken for every one of the
100000 American worthy of the
name. In a great national crisis he
has voiced the soul of the American
people in words courteous and candid,
entirely friendly and entirely firm, re-
calling the rulers of a nation whose
friend we have ever been to the
course of duty and honor. It is a sim
cere and solemn warning from a
friend to one whom he would keep
his friend, if the keeping may be pos
sible, without sacrifice of ~self-respect
and submission to objectionable in
jury.
1t is not necessary now to consider
whether the warning will be needed,
or what shall be the next step if it be
not. Let us hope and pray that it will
be needed, no less for the sake of the
German people than for u own.

for favor, seeks no privilege: the
rights of neutrals and neutral ma
t%ionals, founded in custom and but
tressed in law, enlist our defence. To
invade them must be an act unfriend-
ly, not alone to the immediate suf-
ferers but to all mankind. There can
be no misunderstanding, no misinter-
probation of the message, detailing
with frmness and admirable clarity
our dissatisfaction with the German
course, that went to Berlin yester-
day.
The German answer may come in
words. 1t may be expressed in deeds.
Whatever its tenor, the United States
has done neither more nor less than
its obligations demanded, and con-
fronts the future confident and with
conscience clear. =

The imperial German gov
eminent expresses the hope that
this object may be in some
measure accomplished even be-
fore the present war ends. 1t
can be. The government of the
United States not only feels OBJ
ligated to insist upon it, by

in the protection of its own citi-
zens, but is also deeply interest
ed in seeing it made practicable
between the belligerents them
selves, and holds itself ready at
any time to act as the common
friend who may be privileged to
suggest a way. N&szs ~
In the meantime, the very
value which this government
sets upon the long and unbroken
friendship between the people
and government Of the United

and unanimous public opinion from
which every trace of rancor and
pugnacity has been deleted, the Ad-
ministration at Washington has re-
mitted to the Imperial Government at
Berlin the determination Of the fu-
ture relations between the United
States and Germany. Without per-
hitting irrelevant or extraneous con-
tentions to obscure the original, the
paramount question at issue, the
State Department has reiterated the

Of the Lusitania.

Tense against the sovereignty Of

The government Of the
United States is not unmindful
of the extraordinary conditions
created by this war, or of the
radical alterations Of circum-
stances and method of attack
produced by the use Of instru-
mentalities of naval warfare,
which the nations of the world
can not have had in view when
the existing rules Of Internal
ional Law were formulated, and
it is ready to make every rea-
sonable allowance for these novel
and unexpected aspects Of war
at sea but it can not consent to
abate any essential or funda-
mental right of it's people be-
cause of a mere alteration of cir
cumstances.
Neutral Rights Based Upon

" The rights Of n~eutrals in
time of war are based upon prin-
Iciple, not upon expediency, and
the principles are immutable. 1t
is the duty and obligation Of bel
ligerents to find a way to adapt
the new circumstances to them.
" The events of the past two
months have clearly indicated
that it is possible and practicable
to conduct such submarine OPP
erations as have characterized
the activity of the imperial Ger
man navy within the so-called
war zone in substantial accord
with the accepted practice OF
regulated warfare. The whole
world has looked with interest
and increasing satisfaction at
the demonstration of that posi-
bility by German naval COM
manders. 1t is manifestly pos
sible, therefore, to lift the whole
practice of submarine attack
above the criticism which it has
aroused and remove the chief
causes of offense.

affairs; II was
The note of the imperial
German government, dated 9Th
of July, 1915, has received the
careful consideration of the
government of the United
States, and it regrets to be OBJ
liged to say that it has found it
very unsatisfactory, because it
fails to meet the real differences
between the two governments
and indicates no way in which
the accepted principles Of law
and humanity may be applied in
the grave mater in controversy,
but proposes, on the contrary,
arrangements for a partial sus-
pension of these principles which
virtually set them aside.
The government of the
United States notes with salts
faction that the imperial Ger
man government recognizes
without reservation the validity
of the principles insisted in the
several communications which
this government has addressed
to the imperial German govern
ment with regard to its an
nouncement of a war zone and
the use Of submarines against
merchantmen on the high seas

are free; that the character and
cargo of a merchantmen must

The Tribune.-The supreme merit
of the latest note addressed by the
American TO the German Government
is that it faces the facts as they are.
1t tells the truth that has always
been u~nmistakable and it tells it in
words that a neither provoke Just
resentment o permit honest misap-
prehensiOn. "
American citizens will hope that the
bandage will now fall from German
eyes. They will hope that German
rulers will at last perceive that no
nation can consent to the murder Of
IT'S citizens, the invasion Of its rights,
the destruction of its liberties merely
because Of real or faneied advantage
to Germany by such injuries.
The Presidents message is an ad.
mirable American document. It ex.
presses in temper and in content the
whole mind of his fellow citizens
Whatever be the consequences of the
note itself, no question Of partisan OF
personal difference will contribute
to weaken the effect of a messag,

as reparation can be made for a
needless destruction of human life
by an illegal act" and that there must
be no repetition by German com
manders of such crimes against citi-
zens of the United States. These de-
mands are not excessive, and in for
mulating them President Wilson
speaks not only of the American peo-
pie but for civilization itself. Unless
the United States maintains its neu-
trail rights without compromise and
at any cost" there are no neutral
rights left which any belligerent is
bound to respect, and the whole
world is given over to the terror Of
the sword.

William r. Borah in this city is con-
sidered of national significance.
general belief being prevalent that
il will be reproduced and sent out
through the channels Of publicity by
the republican national committee as
one of its most salient and effective
arrangement of the present national
democratic administration. The adj
dress was a forceful one in argu-
ment for protective tariff and re.
stricted immigration as the most POI
tent factors to be employed in the
protection of unemployed Americans.
Special emphasis was placed by the
Senator upon the necessity of exclud-
ing that class Of immigrants who
come to this country to compete in
our labor markets and to send their
earnings back to their native land
without any purpose to become citi-
zens of this country or to bear any
of the responsibilities Of citizenship,
giving figures show the vast
amount of money which is sent out
Of our country in this manner. He
also enlarged upon the foolishness of
shutting out cheap labor in order to
protect American labor and at the
same time admitting without charge
the goods made by cheap foreign
labor. The address was replete in
its effective argument of the advoca-
cy of the republican party for a pro-
tective tariff system.

the Office will be left under the d.
rection of Heber @. Hale, who has

number of years. The purpose OF
leaving the position held by Jenness

By hurrying through your meals and
gulping down . lot Of poorly cooked,
unchewed s'brick-bats and mortar by
way of soggy biscuits and fat meat that
would defy goats stomach.
By never smiling at meals but by
wearing q Crouch and trying TO make
the rest Of the family miserable.
By over eating and under exercising.
by constipation, iDtemperance and ex-
cesses, by everlasting hurrying, worry
ing, fretting, stewing and straining to

By drawing more out Of your ply

By taking every old medicine recon-
mended by your friends and neighbors.
By telling everybody else how badly
you feel and trying to outpoint them in
their petty ailments.
By enjoying poor health-yes, Just
that. There are q few people one oc-

Another POin, for the Primary

Az least one thing may be said for
the direct primary. 1t elects most Of
the officers from the largest center Of
population. Boise 10 not very large
city, but under the primary it counts
for more than all the rest Of the state.
For verifcation of this fact let us
note that at the present time Boise has:
l. United States senator.
2. Congressman.
3. Governor.
A. Attorney general.
8. superintendent Of instruction.
8. Treasurer.
2. Mine inspector.
All the rest of the state has:
l. United States senator.
g.. Congressman.
8. Secretary Of state.
4. State auditor.
At the last census Idaho had in round
numbers population Of $50, 600. The
city OF Boise had population OF 1000
or about one-twentieth Of the total.
Merely because Boise happened to
have considerably larger group Of
voters than any other point In the
state it was enabled with one-twentieth
Of the population to secure nearly twice
ne many elective state officials as ull
the rest Of the state.
This same condition appears in all
other states having . direct primary
and center Of population. which ma
terially leads any other center.
If there had not been two candidates
for secretary Of state before the pri-
maries from Boise last year that ofice
would also have gone to Boise IS two
candidates from that city received more
votes than the one from outside. Had
one Of these candidates withdrawn the
record now would be eight state officers
from Boise and three from the rest Of
the state.
In the appointive state officers and
state house employees, the proposition
runs about the same.
From these facts 1t must appear thai
IL tbs direct primary really voices the
wish Of the people, that the genera
opinion Is that the capital city hal
