Wages, and Good Conditions.

In recent issue of The Times ap-
peared a communication from f. r.
Hobbs, of Bull, in which the efficiency
of Manager Harlan of the Twin Falls
Canal company, was seriously ques-
toned by a clever lot of questions
The article intimated that The Times
was expected to answer the questions
While The Times believes that Mr.
Hobbs is probably acting in good faith,
still he is making a number of charges
against Mr.. Harlan thinly disguised
as questions. The Times does not in
tend to rush to Mr. Harlan's defense
until the charges are made specific
1t is very easy to ask questions which
put the other fellow on the defensive
The Times believes that its statement
regarding Mr. Harlan's efficiency is
correct If this view is not borne
out in facts, it is the duty of Mr.
Hobbs or any other stakeholder to
produce such facts, rather than to in
innate certain things as questions.
1t is only fair to all parties to have
facts as the basis of the arguments.

lish press is far more friendly to Ann
on to say:
"Some few idiots scattered about the
globe-personally we have never come
across any of their number-have been
urging the United States to take part
in the war at once. The New York
Times, which administers sufficient
that this tribe has few or no followers
in this country. We are content to
leave the error to the Kolnische Zei-
tung, which has Just printed a violent
diatribe against the Americans be-
cause they conform to the ordinary
laws of neutrality and acquiesce in
Great Britain's seizure of contra
bands,
1t may interest our readers to see
the paragraph in the kolnische lei
tung from which The Evening Stand
ard derives such righteous satisfac-
ton. 1t runs in part as follows:
we must protest decidedly against
the assertion that the United States in
this war is honorable toward all the
belligerent parties. AS regards the
letter of neutrality there is no doubt,
but assuredly not according to the
spirit. He who delivers to one of the
belligerent parties arms to the value
of more than ,000,000,000 marks has
lost the right to pass as impartial, and
one can no longer believe that he is
seriously anxious to restore the peace
of nations.

icies not distinguishable from actual
interference in aid of the Allies, seem
to have been expected. In it's most wide
ly prevalent form this feeling is bas-
ed upon the belief that in the general
interest OF neutral powers now
and hereafter we ought to have
protested under the terms of the
Hague Convention against the vi
olation of Belgium's neutrality,
against the destruction of pre-
cious monuments of architectural or
sacred interest to the whole world,
against the laying of mines, and even
against atrocities which have never
been proved. In another form, and
less frequently manifested, there has
been feeling that we ought to inter
fere and with force because England
is really fighting our own battle"
The maximum that England can
hope from us is thus stated;
THE cause for which England fights
the cause of the Allies, has the sincere
sympathy of all the American people,
save a part of those whom ties of
blood bind to the German cause. s. 81
With this our English friends must
be content"
In general, the English papers have
accepted the rebuke in friendly
spirit, and many journals of influence
state that they have never looked to
America for active support in the war.
The London Globe, after remarking
upon the fair tone generally adopted
by the American press, continues
so far as this country is concern
ed, there has been no serious sugges-
ton of disappointment because the
United States did not join the Allies.
In the first place, the United States
could not render the Allies much mill
tary aid If it wanted to, and in the
second place, we in England certainly
do not think it is in any way called
upon to plunge its people into war;
but what not only the British people,
but those of neutral countries, have
hoped for is some protest from the
American government against the ter
rible way in which the German gov
has officially broken the
Hague conventions to which both it
and the American government were
parties The feeling that America is
bound to take note of these
acts is more widespread in America,
even, than here, and the argument of
New York Times that the Hague
conventions impose on our govern
ment no obligation to make a protest
against the acts therein forbidden will |
carry less weight in America than
ere."

The dearth of flags displayed about

tention of the Times editor by one of
it's observant readers, and calls for
reproach upon all of our busy people
with but few exceptions. While Lin

in this state yet with the people of the
west Lincoln stands as popular idol
rather than Washington. But very

On account of the convenient loca-

they been built entirely of new ma
