DOES IENNEss KNOW TOO MUcH7

An editorial in the Weser Signal charges that the Re-
publican officials in the house taking of
eral political lame ducks w. L. Clifford former secretary
of state, L. L. Folsom, antecedents unknown and Mr..
Houston brother of the state auditor and formerly de-
putty the auditors Office the three "ame ducks for
whom positions have been provided, according to the
Signal This charge is serious Republican officials
should be called if they providing snaps
for the lame and the halt The Republican party in Idaho
cannot afford to have the charge go unrefuted This
charge however is of minor Importance in comparison
with the following which part of the article in ques
ton:
Another interesting bit of to light just at
this time and that is that Jenness is not to be removed
make place for Clifford. notwithstanding least three
members of the state land board promised Clifford nearly
year ago give him the place Those in position to
know have said all along that Jenness would be re-
moved that he knew much and they did dare
fire him."
During the last campaign the fact brought to pub
lie attention that Register Jennes had borrowed money
from the state and that he in in his interest
payments We did think much of the disclosure the
time. However, if Mr. Jenness know much that the
members of the land board dare discharge him
from Office is high time that there were sweeping in
Festigation.
The affairs of the state of Idaho should not be handled
by men who hold advantage The officers Of the state
should not be men who be successfully backmaied
The Tribune is oah believe the charge made by the
Signal 1t is too serious We do know that the public
service and the reputation of the would not suffer
by the removal of Jenness The members of the state
land board had better carry their promises Clifford
or better still find other than lame duck to
handle the Office If enness knows much the people
of Idaho want 10 know it. and they what he
knows Sooner or later they are going to find out The
state land board clear itself at once by making the
change suggested

JOHN HAY AND PANAMA.

Colombia $25,000.000 hush money. as
a consequence of our recognizing the
Panama Republic. is not furthered
much by an article in the current
Harper's Magazine on John Hav and
the Panama Republic" The article is
chiefly a compilation of hitherto un-
published letters written by Mr.. Hav
although the editor, William Roscoe
Thayer, interlards them with inter
esting and incisive comment. The apoc-
ryphal yarn about Mr.. Hay having
"grieved much" over his part in the
negotiations which resulted in the
prompt building of the canal bv the
most feasible route. is shown by these
letters to be entirely fabricated. Not
only did he at the time feel that he
was doing the proper thing, but he did
not have any subsequent misgiyings

strictly regular. but entirely iusti6.

Suffragette Says Senator Borah Says

passage of the equal suffrage amend

just returned to Salt Lake from a trip
to Idaho. where she saw Senator
Borah. She is making her headquar-

With some other woman suffra-
gists | saw Senator Borah," said Miss
Vernon yesterday, and he explained
why he was the only senator from a
woman suffrage state to vote against
the proposed federal amendment,
granting votes for women. He said
that to have acted otherwise would
have complicated the negro question.
1T simply shows he did not want
TO antagonize any section of the coun-
try. He told us he could manage the
women in Idaho and added he guessed
we would understand. We did. We

first by demanding a huge payment
from it and afterwards by declaring
that its concession was forfeited ten
years before it was, and it was trying
to exact and eXtortionate money from
the United States. The people of
Panama, vitality interested in the can
al, feared the grasping corruptionists
OF the Colombian government, to
which they were but loosely attached,
and were ready for revolt The agents
of the French company aided and
abetted them. Panama needed no
practice, having engaged in numerous
revolutions before. The United States
merely took steps to protect its own
railway property, following preced-
ents. The promptness with which
the new republic was recognized was
widely criticised, but Mr.. Hays de-
scrlptlon Of the delicacy of the situa-
ton justifes it. Panama has a better
government than ever before and it
got the money for the canal rights,
to which it was entitled. Colombia
has not just complaint, except against
Its own greedy government. The adj
mlnistration might ask Mr.. BRYAN TO
call and take away the SIS 600 600

ALL FOR THE BENEFIT OF SOCIETY.

The Tribune admits the right; acknowledge the duty
OF society to dspossess the individual of his privileges
property rights and of life ITSELF for the ultimate
benefit of society We insist that it be known that the
ultimate benefit will accrue The dispossession upon
theory upon within, is serious matter and must be
challenged at every step by every citizen who loves his
country and hopes for the progress of the Every
prvaton made upon the plea that the individual or the
aggregate of individuals is thus benefited We suggest
that the benefit be asceraned before the deprivation be
permitted
During the past ten years this country has gone long
way toward the ideal wherein the state all Society has
taken away many of the privileges to which we are ac-
custom in the hope that all concerned will be benefited

War.
From "The Notebook of an
Attache," by Eric Fisher
Wood. Published by the
Century Company.

On the way from Pas to Amiens
the machine was running rapidly
down the slope of hill toward a
little village in a valley when an
old, white-haired woman detached
herself from knot of peasants be-
side the road and suddenly threw
herself in front of the wheels. By
putting on the brakes the driver
managed to stop just in time to
prevent her from being crushed.
She then tried to crawl under the
car and was dragged screaming
away by the villagers. 1t seems
that some 20 years ago this woman
had been left a widow with one
child, a boy. With endless labor
she had brought him to manhood
and given him more than an aver
age education. When the war
broke out her son was Immediately
called to the colors, while she
remained caring for her tiny house,
her chickens and her COW. When
the Germans came a battle took
place in her village, her house was
knocked down, her COW blown UP
by she'll and finally her chickens
disappeared down German threats.
The poor old woman, refusing to
leave the locality in which her
life had been passed, had wander
ed about for days in the rain
and mud, until cold, hunger and
sorrow had made her lightwitted
Then, while roaming aimlessly
over the fields, she had came upon
the body of her dead son.
