yx1HE people of Salem are eagerly
awaiting the dates Of May 9ls'
4 and June lst, when our city is TO
be the mecca of Librarians Of the north
west, the event, which calls them here
TO be the annual convention OF the
Northwest Library association. The
states included in the association are
Oregon. Washington, Idaho and the
bordering portion of Canada. There are
l75 members, the greater number OF
them expecting to attend the conven'
ton. The remaining numbers of the
lecture course conducted by the Salem
library are most interesting, and will be
as follows: April 29, Professor James
H. Gilbert, Unemployment and Its
Remedies''i May 7, Professor A. F.
Reddie, readings in dialect; May Il,
Miss Mary Frances Farnham, Among
the Fortunate Islands," watch will be
illustrated. These lectures, which be-
gan in November, have proven both
educational and interesting, the re-
naming numbers on the coarse prom
ising to be especially pleasing.

Glacier park, Is still far 10 the north.
In addition to this advantage which
cannot possibly be overcome by the
northern route, the road itself Is one
of unusual excellence and passes
through section of unsurpassed seem
ic beauty and grandeur. Again, the
road passes through she heart of the
world famous Occur d'Alene mining
district, and this fact will prove a
wonderful drawing card to many east
ern people. Mining, the wrestling OF
mineral wealth from the earth, has a
wonderful faclnation for most people
and they win prefer to come this way
where they can see mining operations

has little to offer in he way Of novelty

PORK DARRELL AND BENEFIT
(Pocatello Tribune
Now who?

(P0catello Tribune.)
For some reason the Statesman don't
appear to like the Dalles- Cello canal
project and pours hot shot into the
pork barrel process that was behind
the construction of the enterprise, and
it is probable that the statement of the
paper is about correct. Let it be hoped
however, that the project will result If
good for the state, instead of furthe'
drawing the Panhandle trade to Wash
ington and Orepon. 1t is a big enter
prise and may accomplish much n
separating the interests of the state
but If one of those north and south
railroads Is built by the newspaper
construction company of Boise, such a
road will do more than anything to
bring the two sections of the state to-
gether commercially.

NO LONGER NEUTRAL.

The American people no longer oc-
cupy a position of neutrality toward
the nations involved In Ahe European
war They will do nothing to embar-
ass the national administration In
handling the momentous question with
which 1t is confronted, and they hope
4 that the solution of the question will
1 De such that it will find ready re-
Spouse and approval not only from the
people at home, but among the civiliz-
ed nations of the world While the ma
tional government may technically
many pending efforts to adjust the
differences through diplomatic CORE
spondenee, it is only form of polite
procedure and means nothing so far
as the actual feeling and sentiment of
the great body of the American people
is concerned. The sinking of the Lus-
itania was the elimination of series
of incidents in which the rights OF
American shipping and citizenship
have been invaded by Germany, and
public sentiment now demands that
steps be taken by our government that
will let Germany understand that UNI
less ample reparation is made, she
must expect the open hostility of the
United States government, if not
through an actual declaration of war,
then at least through a severance of
diplomatic relations
This government has never recog
nized the action of Germany in extend
isles, and the German government was
promptly notified that we could no;
assent to it. Furthermore, the pres-
dent informed the German govern.
ment that if the commanders of it's
war vessels, under whatever mistaken
presumption, should destroy on the
high seas an American vessel or the
lives of American citizenship it would
be difficult for the government of the
United States to view the act in any
other light than as an indefensible vio-
lation of neutrality and for which this
government would hold Germany to
strict accountability"
That is the right attitude of this
government clearly and vigorously de-
fined and the American people expect
the administration to yield nothing in
it out.
The entire civilized world cries out
in protest against the atrocity of the
act that sent to the bottom of the sea a
merchant ship with fifteen
innocent lives, many of whom
were women and children. To say that
they were warned is no justification
for the heinous deed, and as long as
she practices such methods of warfare
Germany must stand as an Ishmaelite j.

HOW RAILROADS ARE BUILT.
Idaho Review.

! idttiiO IbNNICW'
In a broadside given out at Lewis
ton on Sunday last Governor Alex
2nder again built that north and south
railroad, this time in the columns of
| he Lewiston Tribune.
After fixing the cost of the construc-
ton of the 100 miles at $4,000 per mile
1r $2,5OO.0OO for the entire road, the
governor launched this scheme for
paying the bill;
When the consensus Of opinion of
he people Of the state of Idaho IS
once known, ! then expect to start a
subscription list and will head 1t with
800 and will ask all those various or
carnations throughout the state tc
take up a popular subscription of %
cents per capita and no more, and re-
NIT It to some suitable and duly ap-
pointed treasurer to pay out for work
actually done and which cannot be
gotten without pay, and when we have
progressed thus far I viii then go to
New York and personally take lid the
financial end of 1t with financiers In
New York and other large cities Of the
east"
There are 100000 men. women and
children In Idaho If each were to put
~ rs cents the governor would have
100000. This would build four miles
recording to the governors estimate.

In the course of a debate in congress

opportunity to tell the house of his ex-

between the way war was conducted
fifty years ago and present practice
but toward the end he apparently for
gets the changed conditions that he
was discussing. He said:

unable to refrain from criticizing the
attitude of this government because il

A kicker kicked because he heard
Some other kicker say,
That somewhere, somehow, le'd got
word
OF mines that did not pay;
Most every time that kicker'd speak
ned have some yarn to tell
OF mining on a barren streak,
or sinKlng some dry We'll.
He told how on a certain night
He had a frightful dream
OF how widow lost her mite,
In some fictitious scheme;
Both day and night he worked his
jaws,
Exposing schemes called rash,
And then he started framing laws
TO guard the peoples cash.
The tax rates high in Bordertown,
New settlers shun the place,
While every toWnsman wears
There's longing on each face;
And only one among them all
Now wears a smiling glance;
They call him "Old Tom Aspinwall-
The man who took chance"
One day his neighbors stood aghast
The rumor travelled round
That Tom had landed right at last
A source of riches found;
New wealth appeared to come in loads
To their old friend serene,
Who soon was travelling country roads
In his new limousine.
At last from all the envious crew,
Three men We're singled out,
To see if they could find clew,
And end each anxious doubt;
They found Tom with the same old
grin,
Just sitting in the shade
Cried he, Hello, boys! Come fight in
And hev some lemonade!
Here Saunders, put away tibet pipe,
And smoke a good seegar!
Yes, Bill, youll find them peaches ripe,
The first you've seen so far
What's tibet? You'd like to hev me tell
OF how I made my pile?
I'd like to spin that yarn right well.
If you'll all stay while.
you all remember how one night
We went to hear tibet bloke
Who Civ us SIGH an awful fright
And said we'd all go broke

Or gambled wealth in oil.

{ Twin Falls News.)

Erwin Falls News.)
During a recent publicity meeting in
Boise the fact was brought out that
the bulk Of the Idaho agricultural ex-
hiblt at the Panama Pacific exposition
was, by the orders of the new execu-
tive commissioner Mr.. Czizek, dis
carded as useless and hauled away as
50 much rubbish
! This exhibit was gathered at great
expense and the expenditure Of much
time and energy. Either this money
was wasted in the first place or else
some explanation of his action is
pointedly due from Mr.. Czizek. In
either event it is a subject upon which
there should be light. Idaho is scarce
ly in a position to engage in the bust
ness of gathering state exhibits for
the purpose of having them dumpef
into San Francisco bay, and If such
action was taken somebody played
the fool
Now who?

H. r. Wells in DenUsr Mining Record

And how you flocked on Lection Day
TO vote for tibet new law;
old Haskins there l heered him say
Tibet bill finds every flaw;
Well license all the dreams of wealth,
And every salesman cuss;-
He'll hey to show a Bill of Health
To sell his stock to u.s.
"Thet kicker done his work right we'll;
He got all you folks scared,
Till in a case of buy or sell,
Not one among you dared.
His words to me all sounded rank,
Specially how our elf
Should all go in savings bank;
And he runs one himself.
you felers had tibet scary mood,
So | jest packed my grip,
And thought I'd look fer somethin'
good,
While on pleasure trip;
In days gone by I've lost a lot
But not my courage though;
I thought I'd try another shot,
And put up some more dough.
"They don't tack gutter to my name,
And I've spunky wife;
So we stayed in and played the game.
And now we're fixed fer life;
One day heerd a Teller speak
About a great big strike
Down in place called Cripple Creek
Thet's where we took hike.
Back here you fellows all opine
Tibet every mines a fraud.
But your opinion wasn't mine;
And I've got my reward.
The men | saw who know the biz,
All tried to put me straight;
We formed a pool-now our stocks

We're called, The Lucky Eight
81 spose, to you, it must seem queer
To see my sudden rise:
And all the signs of comfort here,
Must cause you some surprise:
You've passed tibet vote and locked
the door
To chances good or bad,
But some l guess feel pretty sore.
Don't none of you seem glad
but cheer up boys, tibet law you
made
Kin be wiped off the books.
I guess you'll find restraint of trade
Is bout how tibet thing looks;
And If You want some more advice,
If fortune you would seek,
Jist pack your grips and pay the price
Of fares to Cripple Creek"

INDIScREET TALK.

The talk INDUCED in by some of oul
German citizens in discussing the
European war is highly indiscreet t.
say the least, and has given rise to
serious speculation as to what their
attitude would be In the event that
the United States should become in
volved on the side of the allies. Sedi-
ton is defined by Webster as "the
raising of commotion in a state not
to instruction; conduct
tending to treason but without overt
act; excitement of discomfort against
the government, or of resistance to,
lawful authority" In view of that
definition, 1t cannot be denied that
some superheated German symplthiz-
ers are treading periously close to
dangerous ground and there are Ger
man newspapers which are clearly
guilty of sediton and which would be
suppressed and their publishers pun
shed in any other country than this
aaSy going republic. But there Is a
INIT to what even Uncle Sam can
itand and when he gets properly riled
~ there is no stopping him until those
Who abuse the privileges given them
iere are made to understand that IN
his land Of the free there Is such
hing as loyalty to the flag which will

and brigadier generals have lost their
lives in the war? Is there a gentle
man on this floor who can name a sin
gle brigadier or major general who has
been killed in battle in this gigantic
European war? They have a line over
100 miles long in the army of the west
and over 100 miles long in the army
of the east. They have a battle line
of over 200 miles, and we read of des-
perate charges every day. There can
not be any successful bayonet charges
when they carry guns that will kill at
mile, because every column would
be annihilated before 1t reached half
a mile. If I were a battling man,
which I am not, I would bet my
months salary against a Panama bond
that YOU can not find five soldiers in
Pny field hospital in France, or Ger
many, or England. or Russia, or Hun
gary who are wounded with bayonets
We read of the terrible destruction in
these battles. They have fought forty
great battles, according to the reports
/ venture the assertion that they have
not lost 25 per cent of their armies in
battle,
Officers on Battle Field.
Why my friends, at the battle Of
Franklin, where l happened to be just
at the right of the Franklin Pike, In
battle line Of two and one half miles
twelve Confederate generals were
killed or mortally wounded, all on the
front line of battle, in five hours fight

ing killed while leading a charging

There is quite a characteristic differ
ence between the commanders of our
armies in the civil war and of those
over across the ocean"
