gested that young ladies accustomed
to being addressed as Miss. So-and-so,
on entering the school and reciting
to other young persons they never
saw before, do not find it in keeping
with their feelings to be addressed
with the familiarity of the given
name. NOn the other hand, those ac-
customed to this familiarity find it
embarrassing to be addressed the
other way. They would have to un-
dergo the change from childhood to
youth and maturity some time, and
the place for the change was some
where in the high school; there was
too little dignity in the school any

ARE GETTING BUSY

A number of water representatives
of the north fork were in the city
last week and obtained of Engineer
w. 0. Cotton government surveys
and estimates relative to reservoir
sites on the north fork. The surveys
designate few excellent reservoir
sites which would be available for
that part of the country and the peo-
|ple of the north fork are making a
move to take advantage Of 1t.
The canal owners of later water
rights along the south fork would
do well in taking similar action. Ir-
rigated land Is increasing in acreage
rapidly and no tine should be lost,
especially as water can be stored at a
cost of around two dollars an acre
foot. It does not take much of
water shortage to cut into crop the
sum OF two dollars an acre.-Idaho

this country the economic revolution

change is very great indeed. Along
with this economic phase of the con-
fiict is the advance of democratic
collectivism. Indeed, it is just pos
sible that after decades have passed
away, the world will say that econ

being wrought by the war is the
greatest permanent result of the
struggle.

counts said that he was broken down
physically, that he was a nervous
wreck, that an operation on his
throat prevented him from uttering
a word, and many of them declared
that the emperor's mind was AFFECT
ed. Some OF these accounts went so
far as to say that the emperor could
not live long; and there was one pa
per, as l remember, which asserted
that preparations for his funeral
were under way.
It was because of these outrage
ously untruthful statements that I
gave an account of my meeting with
the emperor. l did this in order to
state the fact; for instead of what
we had been told about him, found
the fact to be that he was in perfect
health and in splendid spirits. with
Fout the least sign of nervousness,
and that his powerful mind worked
with an amazing clearness, force and
precision. thought 1t only just that
the public should be told the truth
about the condition of this wonderful
man in view Of the falsehoods which
had been circulated about him;
otherwise, would not have mention
Ied meeting him since could not re-
port word of his two hours con-
versation.
These are only few examples of
general public misinformation In
America just a short time ago. The
same thing, of course, was found in
France and England, particularly in
the latter country.
For instance, we had been official
1y informed that Great Britain went
into this war only on account of the
Belgium matter; and hundreds of
articles, booklets and editorials bas-
ed on this report were circulated all
over America. l was astonished to
find in England that Great Britain
would have gone to war if Belgium
had never been touched.

French, their courtesy, hospitality
and delicacy of feeling. For example.
out OF the scores of French men and
women conversed with, not one of
them asked me what l found condi-

these French men and women all
knew that had just come from Ger

the emperor. Only twice in France
did anyone ask me about conditions
in Germany and in each of these
questions the person asking the
question was not French.

MusNFoRsmD ABOUT THE WAR
tBy Albert J. Beveridge.l

(Albert y. Beveridge, former
senator from Indiana and well
known writer on political subjects,
returned recently from Europe.
where he spent several months
studying the war. His war articles
have been eagerly read, and his new
book, What is Back of the War"
bids fair to be one of the most popu-
lar books dealing with the European
conflict. In this article Senator
Beveridge Interestingly sets down
some of his impressions.-The Edi-
tori
When the editor of Golfers pro-
posed to me that / go to Europe and
write series of articles in that ma
gazine, on the real conditions in the
warning countries, accepted be-
cause / thought It was a great oppor-
tunity to witness at least one phase
of this greatest conflict in the history
of the world. Also it seemed to me
to be quite certain that this was
SO great as to affect profoundly in a
permanent way every country in the
world, including our own country.
The wars of Alexander fundamen-
tally changed conditions throughout
the then known world; the wars Of
Caesar gave . new direction to civil
lization; the wars of Napoleon put an
end to the old governmental and So
cial systems and ushered in new
ones. Yet it is a startling fact that
all these wars of Alexander, Caesar
and Napoleon, rolled into one, do not
equal the present-day conflict even
up to the present stage.
So, to study conditions on the
ground and report what actually was
seen and heard, was big and worth
while undertaking.
1t is only human nature that one
who already has formed an opinion
II
should entertain a fervent and yet
honest desire that reports from the
field Of action confirm and encourage
his views. Thus it was that the
journey was undertaken under the
handicap of choosing between writ
ing the truth or offending cherished
opinions Of the American public.
The average American wishes to
know the truth of any such matter
which interests him and to make his
decision only upon the facts; yet it
is natural that he receives with re-
luctance, report which is contrary
to his wishes. But history must be
written according to the facts, ra-
ther than to carefully planned and
misleading design.

Had to Revise Beliefs


At nearly every step Of my investi-
cation I was struck In the face by
facts which dazed me, so completely
were they the reverse of what l had
read.
For example, at the time l went to
Europe. It was published broadcast
and repeated time and again that
the Germans were almost starving
hundreds of our papers gave detailed
accounts Of bread riots in Berlin and
other German cities. But I found
that food was abundant and prices
very cheap. When SO stated in my
articles. many close friends could
not at first believe it.
! Again, it was said that Germany
was woefully. short of ammunition
that her copper supply had giver
out; that she had no oil, and, there
fore, that she soon would be forced
to succumb. A review of the news
papers of last November and Decem.
iber show how widely this impression
had been circulated. On the even
ing before sailed / dined with one
Of the most carefully informed men
in the United States or perhaps in
any country man whose business
it is to be widely and accurately in
formed. He told me that the short
age of war munitions in Germany
especially oil and copper, would end
the war in short time. So when
/ found that these carefully circulat-
ed reports were unfounded and
wrote the exact facts, they were re-
ceived at first with incredulity.
Still another example: We had
been told that Bernhardi's war book
was the great popular German book,
that everybody in Germany had read
1t and that it expressed German pur-
poses, spirit and philosophy. l found
on the contrary that comparatively
few Germans in Germany had read
this book or even heard of it; that
only six thousand copies had been
printed in that country and that not
all of these had been sold; and final
1y that scolars and business men in
Germany had heard of the book for
the first time after the beginning of
the war, from English papers. Yet
SO profoundly had the American pub
lie been impressed with the state
ments about Bernhardi's book that
the real facts were received at first
with reluctance.
Finds Emperor's Health Good

the time sailed, long, careful, de-
tailed and specific accounts were
given about the alarming condition
of the emperor's health. These ac-

BLAMING IT ON WILSON

With morning after" contempla-
ton of the accomplishments and blum
ders the SiXty-third Congress has put
in the records, many of the Democratic
mem Jers Of that badly are shifting the
blame for its eXtravagances on the
President They charge that if the
President had taken heed of Treasury
conditions at the beginning of his ad-
minlstration and cautioned Congress
accordingly, expenditures might have
been kept below those authorized IN the
last Congress, controlled by the Re-
pubhcans.
1t is quite true that President Wilson
is responsible for the blunders of the
Democracy for he dominated both
branches of Congress since its first
meeting in 1913 up to the beginning of
the final session last December. But
there are greater faults to be charged
up against him than the excessive ap-
preparations. If the tariff had not
been tempered with in the way he or
dered it to be mangled in the name of
revision, the country might have
forgiven the eXtravagant performances
of the party. The results of that tariff
legislation is one of the chief crimes to
be charged up against the administra-
ton. 1t was more responsible for the
war tax" imposed on the people than
the immoderate dips made into the
public funds. Post mortems by the
Democracy, however, will be fruitless
in fixing the. responsibility upon the
President. He stood for the party, and
now the party will have to stand for
him.
If the late President-run Congress has
achieved anything in the way of bene-
fetal legislation or service to the
country it remains to be proved. The
only measure that has been tested, the
Underwood bill, has not only failed
ANONYMOUSLY, but spread a trail of
distress that has reached to the utter
most parts of the country. If the
party had committed no other blunder
its false economic policy has been
enough to seal its doom in 1916.

RIDER THAT DIDN'T RIDE.

The unbusinesslike Postofice Depart
ment took sly way of endeavoring to
crawl out of the large deficiency hole it
placed itself in, which not only resulted
in failure but caused the postoffice ap-
preparation bill itself to fail of passage.
The smore the crude methods of the
late Congress are studied the more
reprehensible they appear. The Post
office Department undertook, ill-ad-
visedIy, to broaden the scope of the
parcel post system by increasing the
limit of packages to be transmitted to
fifty pounds, which practically trans
formed the railway mail service into a
freight carrying service. Naturally
railroads required more pay for an in
creased service, and they were entitled
to it.
Representative Moon, at the instiga-
ton of the head of the Postofice De-
partment, put rider on the postoffice
appropriation bill, which was confs-
| NotOA VI VIC mail pay VI Tue IdllTOduS.
If this rider had prevailed it would have
made the Postmaster General the sole
dictator of what the railroads should be
paid for mail transportation, and
practically have forced them to carry
the parcel post packages without any
additional compensation.
The Senate interviewed to prevent this
rank injustice, and the obstinate refus.
al of Representative Moon to with
draw the rider caused the entire ap.
preparation bill to fail. This left the
Postoffice Department without any
funds whatever for the conduct of its
business, and necessitated the eleventh
hour adoption of an emergency reso
luton continuing the old appropriations
until the meeting of the next Congress.
Otherwise an extra session would have
been obvious.

PRESIDENT WILSON has definitely
abandoned his trip to the Panama
Pacific Exposition this month.
The international situation and Mexi-
can developments are given as the rea-
son. 1t is understood, however, that
the President rather welcomed the in
reference. He has resented the charge
that he intended using the far as an
excuse for a ''swing around the circle"
that would launch his campaign for re-
election. His political advisers urged
this, but other friends told him a cross
country trip, with 80 or more speeches,
would be unwise at present. Their
position was that time should be given
for business to adjust itself to the new
legislation. They won out over the
politicians.
