PRESIDENT WILSON FOR PREPARATION.

President Wilson's advocacy Of the of military
preparedness is somewhat beaed but the less well
come The president realizes that the country is
prepared Further than that he has been forced the
conclusion that the recude of intentions is no guar
antee for our safety. man a country may be too
proud to look for trouble but when forced upon him
self-respectng and self-respecng country will
run from fight. The peace and safety of this country
depends absolutely upon its ability protect itself.
The real advocate he who advocates preparation
for defense The nation should be ready for any
In Europe today the only country whose territory
has not been invaded is Switzerland. By nature and by
the training of its people Switzerland is the most strongly
defended country in the world 1t be invaded with
safety by any country matter how large. incidentally
is the most peaceful country in Europe The Swiss de-
pore to such that they take no chances
They are SO well prepared that country in
crazed Europe is looking for trouble with Switzerland
The neutrality of Belgium, Denmark and Holland have
been violated. Switzerland alone is safe.
The present attitude Of President Wilson will make
great change in Democratic sentiment toward military
preparedness Too long has the fakr William Jennings
Bryan been the voice of the Democratic party Demo-
Gratis have listened Bryan because he was all there was
TO listen to- With difference of opinion among the leaders
OF the party may look forward discussion of the
question of preparedness from national instead of
party standpoint Heaven hasten the day!

THE DUTY OF THE STATE CHAIRMAN

Evan Evans by virtue the fact that he is the chairman
OF the Republican state central committee by unanimous
choice is nearly the voice of the Republican party in
Idaho than any other man. 1t is the duty of Mr.
Evans if such thing be possible to so arrange it that the
Republican state ticket will be elected the election
In order to accomplish this great purpose it is necessary
that the Republican ocehoders of the state take
with Mr. Evans and wherever possible follow his advice
The party deems him safe counsellor and expects its
men in office to pay attention his suggestions In view
of this condition of affairs is the duty of Mr. Evans r.
investigate the charges that made against the state
land board in its dealings with Jenness Clifford Huston
and Folsom Mr. Evans has authority to act but he
can speak for the Republican party of Idaho He should
DO so IN no uncertain terms If he expects to be the
leader he must assume the leadership
The trouble at the statehouse is that few men, by
reason of long tenure of Office gotten to believe thai
their Offices private snaps Jenness for instance act
uay believes that the office of register of the state land
board created for his particular and peculiar benefit
lie has an idea that he should have salary couple of
hundred month"; access to the funds not too
rigid in regard to interest payments and public printing
equal at least to the printing required in the office of the
land board. When person becomes possessed of such
IDEAS he is apt to become He gets idea that
the state cannot do without him. He is convinced that
the other office holders afraid of him There is moth
ing which he may not imagine Once he gets into that
state of mind nothing will abae him except decapation
The Tribune does not think that the members of the
state land board afraid of Jenness although we will
probably be led to that conviction something is not
done. We do not think that Jenness has anything on
Peterson Barker al but others very liable to arrive
at that conclusion.
The situation at is aught with the gravest pos
sbities for the Republican party There is danger in de-
lay AS chairman of the committee Mr. Evans is in duty
bound to take action All the harmonzng all the organic
ing and all the cooperating he will be able to do will
to naugh the idea gains foothod in the public
mind that the state landofice is nothing more than
private snap for political lame ducks the Offices are
used simply to accommodate personal ends and as means
of accommodating friends the Republican party will and
deserves unqualified defeat next election
It is up to Mr.. Evans get busy.

After Mr. Wilson had been elected president but before
he had been inaugurated President Taft wrote him letter
setting forth the difficulties of the Mexican situation The
eter was written shortly after the assassination of Madero
and the usupaton of Huero In view of the fact that the
Mexican question likely be serious problem to
the incoming administration Mr. Taft wished to consult
with the newly elected president and be guided by his
desires wherever possible, going far as to state
that he would assume the enne responsibility himself if

THE OPTIMISM OF THE SOCIALIST.

Strikes ockouts and armed resistance to the authorities
by the 100000 Socialists of Europe would make war
impossible informed little more than year
ago. The International had the at hand and pro-
posed to do away with All it wanted oppor-
tunity The opportunity along, declared and
is still in The first opportunity Socialism ever
had thrown without struggle No attempt was
made in country in Europe by the Socialists to avert
delay the Men who had preached resistance
opened recruiting offices. Newspapers which abhored
and detected nationaism and patriotism have become
violently patriotic. Socialists have enlisted the
the members of other parties.
All the foregoing is interesting simply because shows
that heoretic for the ills of the world fail at
the supreme test. Human nature is struggling to reform
but it takes centuries of effort Reform adopted about
fast the people ready for it. You can't force its
growth by resolutions or laws.
