DOINCS AT THE
LEGISLATURE
Several County Division Bills
introduced and Budget for
Appropriations for State In
stitutiOns is Sent In.

Boise, Jan. IA new house
bill calls for the division of
Kootenai, Canyon and Twin Falls
counties, forming Benewah, Pay
. cite and Buhl counties respect
lively.
The Kootenai county bill would
make St. Maries the county seat
of Benewah. The bill has a new
feature in that it embodies pro-
vision whereby the prohibition
laws of Kootenai county, which
is a dry county, shall apply to
Benewah. The supreme court
recently held that when a new
county is organized from dry
territory it shall remain wet until
voted dry. This provision is
therefore inserted in the county
division bill to avoid raising the
lquOr question.
Although overwhelmingly de-
feated at the November election
by voters of Lewis and Idaho
counties, the proposed county of
Selway will not be downed and
has again made an appearance,
this being among the north Ida
no legislators in the form of en-
dorsements from the Commercial
club of Kooskia, which is the
proposed county seat of the new
county. The proposed boundaries
of Selway county would include
the northern end of Idaho and a
portion of the eastern end of
Lewis counties.
1t is said by several northern
legislators that the action of the
Kooskia citizens in again trying
to have the new county created
is the result of the victory in Ida
10 county of the legislative ticket
which will not oppose the annex
alton to Lewis county of several
out of the way precincts of their
county. 1t is said by these legis-
lators that it is advisable to add
these precincts to Lewis county
rather than keep them in Idaho
county, because of the railroad
distance of these precincts from
Grangeville.

philes OF Alsace-Lorraine. The result OF this
stupid and senseess policy is that the memory
of the war with Prussia has been kept alive in
many Danish hearts, and that to-day there is
small but aggressive group (the so-called Ma
tionasts') who advocate joining the Allies and
striking for Schleswig again. But tor Prusslan
tactlessness there certainly would be no SUCH
party, as is best proved by the tact that the
two classes which one would normally expect
10 find in the Nationalist ranks (the arlstoc-
racy and the army appear to be more pro than
anti German. Social relations between the
German and Danish aristccraces are very
close, and frequent intermarriages have made
many great families like the Buelows, the We.
dels and the Motkes truly Dano- German. 1t
is interesting TO remember that the great
Moltke of 1870 fame began his career as an
officer in the Danish army. Also it should
not be forgotten that the royal family is itself
of German origin. AS for the army its pro-
fessional spirit is nurtured exclusively on Ger
man sources. The Danish officer who fought
the Prussians half century ago was trained
along French lines, but here, as in so many
other fields Denmark has fallen within the
German orbit, and the Danish officer OF to-day
takes his professional outlook from Berlin.
The profound influence Of Germany on DAN
ish cultural life is nowhere more manifest than
in the attitude of Denmarks advanced" ele
ments toward the war. For the last decade
Denmark has been going through a very rapid
political and social transformation which has
written some exceedingly radical measures
upon her statute books and which has given
the ballot to women by the recent universal
Suffrage amendment to the Danish constitu
ton. One might say ofhand that this would
denote the sympathies of Danish radicals be-
ing for England and her present radical admin
istration rather than for Germany with her
more conservative regime. AS matter OF
fact, however, it does not work out that way.
The Danish radicals and socialists have always
been in the closest touch with the correspond
ing German circles, and German rather than
English goals Of political and social evolution
seem to be their ideal. The present Danish
government is strongly radical-socialist Chose
parties having strong majority in the Danish
paramenO, and is attitude has certainly
shown no signs of being either pro- British or
anti-German.
We thus see that cultural intercourse has
tended to draw Denmark far more toward
Germany than toward England. AS to the

and German intellectual and artistic life have
been growing more and more intimate. Dan
ish scholars litterateurs ard artists have met
with warm sympathy and appreciation at the
hands of the German public, while German art
and thought have in their turn exeTted pro-
found reflex influence on Danish cultural life.
GEORG BRANDES.
Accordingly, it is not surprising to find that
in the present war a majority of the Danish
'intellectuals" are Policeman. Notable
among these for the strength of their convic-
tons are Johannes Jensen and the novelist
Karl Larsen Highly instructive is the atti-
tude of Georg Brandes, the best known Danish
figure to the English speaking world. At
the time Of the European crisis OF 1905, Bran
des advised an English alliance in case Of
European war. To-day he is far from holding
the same sentiments, if we may Judge from his
famous break with Monsieur Clemenceau. That
eminent French politician and publicist had
long entertained an intellectual intimacy with
Brardes. Noticing that his Danish friend
avoided political topics in his letters since the
outbreak Of the war Clemenceau urged him to
unbosom himself these subjects, asking
specifically for Brandess opinion as to the
charges of German atrocities and as to whether
Denmark would take Scheswg if Germany
were defeated To these questions Brandes
answered that at such a moment he preferred
70 reserve Judgment on all charges and that as
to the Danish speaking portions OF Schleswig,
Denmark would not take them from crushed
and Inundated Germany, but only as the free
gift of Germany. Whereupon Monsieur Gle
menceau angrily broke off the friendship in his
widely noted open letter, Farewell, Brandes,'
and further stigmatized the Danes as pride
less people.
PRUSSIAN POLICY IN SCHLESWIG.
That there is to-day a majority Of Danish
writers who are strongly anti-German seems
principally due to the blunders of the Pressian
government in its treatment of the Danish
speaking population of Scneswg The vast
majority OF the inhabitants of Schleswig Hol-
stein are German in language and in blood.
Out of some 100000 souls only about 100000
are Danish speaking, and these are compactly
massed in the districts just south OF the present
Danish frontier. That this small handful OF
peasants could present the slightest political
or cultural danger to the overwhelming Ger
majority is unthinkable yet the Prussian
government has attempted TO Germanze the
Schleswig Danes with as much thoroughness
as it has the Poles of Posen or the Franco

By 7. Lothrop Stoddard

A T FIRST sight it might appear as
~ though Denmark's attitude and pos
IA sible course Of action with reference
TO the European war were matters of very
minor concern. This tiny country, with an
area less than one-third that of the State of
New York and population numbering only
2SOOOOO appears small, indeed, beside the
titanic empires now locked in death grapple
for world dominion. Nevertheless, precisely
because Europes titans are thus deadlocked,
its pygmies have acquired political and mill
tary importance unknown in normal times. If
the scales be only weighted evenly enough
feather may send the balance one way or the
other. Thus a quite minor power may con-
oeivably play an exceedingly important role
in the course Of events, especially if such a
power be situated at a strategicaly vital point.
Now this is just the case with Denmark.
Lying, as it does, between the European main
land and the Scandinavian Peninsula, the guns
of its capital Copenhagen, command the pas
sage from the North Sea to the Baltic, while
its land frontier stretches perilously close to
Germany's naval lifeline, the Kie Canal. Its
people are as prosperous and virile as any in
the world its wealth proportionately consid-
line some 100000 men who unless Danish mill
tary history be at fault, would prove them
selves most excellent soldiers. Thus we see
that such questions as how Denmark feels to-
ward the war and what she purposes to do are
by no mean idle queries
First Of all, then, how does Denmark feel
about the war? The answer is that most Danes
want with all their hearts to keep out OF it, and
that they have desire to see their trim, pros
porous little land turned into a cockpit of war.
The Danish people" writes the eminent Dan
sh scholar, L. V. Brick, of the University Of
Copenhagen. sincerely desires to remain neu-
trail, and this desire, founded on very strong
wish for peace, has certainly not been weak
ened by the course of events"
However just because people may have no
abstract desire to enter is no proof that
the developments of the struggle may not i'm
pel them 10 give their sympathies to one or
other Of the contending parties and ultimately
to drift into the war by force Of circumstances.

Danish public opinion regards the combatants

REMEMBER AGGRESSION.

Had Denmark neither intellectual nor eco
nonlic commerce with England and Germany
her attitude toward them would day prob
ably ne rather vengeful "a plague on both
your houses" for the saddest pages in modern
Danish history are due to British and German
aggression During the last great European cat
astroaho, the Napoeonic wars, England pun
ished Denmarls refusal to abandon her neu-
trality and enter the struggle on Brtans side by
twice bombarcing Copenhagen, destroying the
whole Danish fleet and carrying OFF everything
worth taking. As for the Teutons, just fifty
years ago Prussia acting as the executor of
the will Ct the German people, made war on
Denmark, and after several bloody battles
forced the exhausted little nation to cede the
prize aimed az the duches OF Schleswig and
Hostein. By the Danish people neither of
these aggressions has been either forgotten or
forgiven, as is well shown by Danish utter
ances during the European crises OF the last
decade and during the present war At the
time Of the great crisis of 1905, when England
and Germany alike put pressure on Denmark
by sending battle fleets TO pay friendly" calls
at Copenhagen Denmark's leading newspaper,
the "Politiken," replied to these threats in the
following impartial vein: I'VE shall receive
both fleets courteously, and with no illusions.
England has bombarded Copenhagen. Ger
many has dismembered our territory. We know
that both things may happen again. That
these sentiments are equally strong to-day is
shown by the words of Professor Brick: The
political sentiments of the Danes are marked
by deep bitterness toward the great powers
as such: history teaches US to expect nothing
good from those quarters; we know that to-
ward us they will adopt whatever attitude may
be dictated by their ambitions and their selfish
appetites."
Fortunately for the worlds peace. however,
the rancors Of old wrongs are usually soft
ened by such modifying factors as intellectual
intercourse and economic exchange, which lead
peoples to judge their neghbors by the light
of present symp7 thies as we'll as by past pref
udices. The importance Of cultural ties in the
formation of national public opinion is strik-

We know very well that in
spite of our limited forces we
would be an ally not to be
despised, but we also know
that war making is a gamble
and that the chance of our
shortening the war by inter
vening does not counter
balance the misery that war
will surely bring in its train.
For our country's future,
for that, at any rate, we
ought to go to war. What
is in store for us? The Allies
will no doubt win. France
and Belgium will expand
their territories as far as
the Rhine, and, closely allied,
they will be our powerful
ncighbors to the south. In
the north, Germany will
have to be cut off from
the North Sea; she will
have to do without East
Friesland and the Tristan
Islands. Is not Holland,
then, the very country for
obtaining this territory? At
the same time Hollands

be rounded off.
