THE NEXT GREAT WAR
Startling Views on Ultimate Peace Civ

The consoling thought that the ter

a distant struggle and the other is a

preserve its neutrality through all the

balm Gohier, who has written an IL

People of the Twentieth Century"
believes that when diplomats gather
at the end of this war to arrange termo
of PEACE, they will find the task i'm
possible. In AN article translated for
the New York Times, he declares that
the international and social questions
which the present war is going to raise
are too numerous, too complex. to be
settled beyond appeal and irrevocably
by any diplomatic agreements whatso-
ever" Then will come the fight over
the spoils. He writes:
Remember the two Balkan wars,
The first was terrible; the second was
still more cruel. The allies who had
crushed Turkey rent each other In
their struggle to divide the booty.
After the collapse of the German
empire and the dismenberment of the
Austro-Hungarian empire the booty
will be richer, the participants therein
more numerous, the difficulties more

be a series of wars of such tremendous

have formed barriers, so that it was

SWITCHMAN BADLY HURT
While Switching in P0catell0 Yards,
Backed in Front of Moving Train.

Russell Felsted, a we'll known young
man of Poeatello, and sWitehman
in the local Short Line yards, was
badly injured this morning, and will
be a cripple for life, if he survives the
shock He lost both feet
The accident happened at about $50
and occurred in the eastern end of the
yards. Felsted was working with yard
engine No. $50, which had hold of a
string of cars, switching ON the east
bound main line, and was passing sig
nails to the engineers. While thus en-
gagged he was standing between the
tracks, and apparently did not see or
hear train on the other track, there
being but narrow space between the
two tracks, and the other engine was
showing a couple of cars eastward on
the weStbound track. Between the
tracks there is barely room for an in
dividual to stand perfectly still while
two trains are passing, and were a
car door swinging it might be diff
cult thing at that, though the space is
approved as the standard. There is
little danger. however, except at such
times as the present, when the ground
is covered with treacherous Ice
Felsted either stepped back, or slip

by engine No. 500 passed over both OF

LAWS IN EMBRYO
URwieldy Legislature in for Some
Sweeping Changes.

Johnson and koelsch would cut
down the legislature, according to
House Joint Resolution No. 5, amend
ing the constitution, providing OF
course, that it carried:
The first two sections of article 3
of the constitution, il the amendments
carry, will read as follows:
Section /. The legislative power
of the state shall be vested in leg
islature, consisting of a single body
which shall be composed of "A men,
beers. elected two from each of y dis
tricts to be created by the Legislature
by the districting of entire and con-
tiguous counties in such manner as to
have as nearly as possible, an equal
number Of inhabitants in each district.
Section .. OF the members of the
legislature first elected in each dis
triet, one shall serve for two years
years and the other for four years. to
be decided by lot, from and after the
first day of December next following
the general election at which they
shall be elected; and thereafter one
member, whose term shall be four
years from and after the first day Of
December following the general cleo
ton. shall be elected at each general
election in such district"
Seton % of the amended article
will read
Each member of the legislature
shall receive a sum not exceeding $500
per year, and his actual and necessary
travelling expenses over the shortest
usually travelled route in going and
returning from the sessions Of the leg
islature."
Other striking provisions for the
new legislative branch of government
in the proposed amendment are brief
iy as follows:
The lieutenant governor, whose sal
airy shall be $1,000, shall be president
OF the legislature, but shall vote only
when the Legislature is evenly di-
vided
In case of death or disqualification
of the governor, the succession is first
to the lieutenant governor, second to
the president pro tempore of the legis-
lature third to the secretary of state.
The sole power of impeachment
shall rest in the IL junior members of
The legislature. The court for the
trial of Impeachment shall consist of
the IL senior members of the legisla-
ture.

House bill No. &c, to abolish the
public utilities commission is intro
duced. Through its disposal of this
measure the legislature will either in
dorse and continue one of the acts Of
the Twelfth session or condemn and
undo it, and considerable sentiment
appears to he fayoriug its abolish
ment, reduction of salaries of its MEM
bers, and general curtailment.
House bill No 70, by Anderson of
Canyon, would abolish the tax com
mission. This is considered an adj
ministrative measure, based on the
governors own expressed opinion of
the present uselessness of that body.
Another bill to abolish an office ere
ated by the Twelfth session was in
troduced in the house of representa-
tives this morning-house bill No. GO
by King of Lewis-designed to do
away with the commissioner of educa-
ton.
Anderson of Canyon, leader of the
minority in the house, introduced a
resolution to amend the constitution
by providing statewide prohibition. It
is considered more stringent than the
Hart senate resolution, in that it pro-
hibits all manufacture and sale of IL
quor, and not merely its manufacture
and transportation for sale. 1t also
would become effective directly after
its adoption by the people in 1916, Is
months or more earlier than under
the Hart proposal.

Here is a line on which all our
readers have probably done some
thinking, Commenting on the
patriotic utterances of President
Wilson, recently made in a public
address, on the strict neutrality of
this country in he European
struggle, the Christian Herald, pub
lished in New York, regrets that the
president did not 90 further and
give his thoughts regarding the
action of this country in furnishing
the warning nations wi h those
things required in carrying on the
war, The Christian Herald says;
Many will regret that the Presi-
dent did not see 1T, in his address,
to refer to the trade in arms and
ammunition. 1t would have been
regarded as the most natural thing
in the world for him to be outspok-
en- on the subject, since it is one
that Is uppermost in the public
mind, and concerning which there
are many different opinions, True,

! Sharp county will likely have a
candidate for cOngress-David L.
King.
Just at this time it appears that
the 18th judicial circuit will have a
young multitude Of candidates for
prosecuting attorney. 1t has been
believed that Prosecuting Attorney
Northcutt will seek another term.
Other prospective candidates are
W. A. Jackson of Randolph county,
Claude Alley of Baxter, John G..
Ashley and Elbert Goodwin of lizard,
W. 7. Gray and F. M. Pickens of
Sharp. 1t is believed that at least
each of the five counties of the cir
cult will have one candidate for
this Office, something that has never
happened in the history of the dis
triCt.
1t is probable that Sharp county
will furnish a candidate for one of
the state positions. Senator G. B.
Ferguson is thinking of making the
race for agricultural commissioner,
and is receiving numerous solicita-
tions to enter that race. Senator
Ferguson has good record in the
senate, and is a practical farmer.
His friends at home and elsewhere
would like to see him elected.
Lawrence county will furnish the
next member of the state senate
from this district, and it is alleged
against several aspiring gentlemen
over there that they have their ears
to the ground, patiently waiting to
hear the call of the people
1t has been guessed that the field
in Sharp county will not be over
run with candidates next year, ow-
ing to the fact that several of the
most important offices are now be-
ing filled by first-termers. How.
ever, there is never any telling
about thing like that. The crop
of candidates for assessor promises
to yield abundantly.
Anyhow, the summer will soon
pass away, and with the first chilly
blast you may expect the merry
ofice-seeker to show himself and
begin to lay plans for votes, Then
we will all be happy, for where is
there a man with soul so dead that
he can be contented in the dull,
lucid intervals Of political peace
and quietudeY
