BY maintaining a blockade,
Great Britain has compelled Ger.
many to supply her own needs
and has prevented her from
spending money abroad. Now
British statesmen are beginning
to question the wisdom OF that
policy and argue that it would
injure Germany more If she were
permitted to spend money abroad
thus depicting her own monetary
resources. So far as the relative
interests of Great Britain and
Germany are concerned, the dis
cussiOn is of no consequence to
us, but it serves to emphasize the
soundness of the principle OF pro
lection. Shutting out foreign
goods and keeping money at
home to pay home labor, is the
secret of National prosperity. A
protective wall accomplishes that
end whether the wall be estab.
lished by war or by protective
tariff Any ten year old boy
ought to be able to understand
an economic principle as clear AS

Economy and
Efficiency at
the Capitol.

The State finances were never
before in such excellent condition
as they are at present, under the
efficient management of State
Treasurer Eag gleson. During the
first SIX months of his administ.
ration the sum of seven thousand
dollars has been saved Just in
the economy and efficiency sys-
tenn he has inaugerated in the
administration OF the Capitol
Building at Boise of which he is
custodian. He has reduced the
purchasing OF supplies, and the
payment OF all expenses TO svs-
tenn which cuts out needless ex-
pense. and keeps close watch
upon all expenditures and dis
bursements.
During the last six months, the
state has paid no exchange upon
bonds; this amounts to over a
thousand dollars saved.
During the first two months of
this year, Mr.. Eagleson saved
the State over a thousand dollars
in interest by arranging a new
system of paying up warrants
and making appropriations pro-
mptly.
In the Capitol building he has
made a saving Of over two hun
dred fifty dollars upon telephones
alone, by reducing the number in
the building to q sufficient mum
and cutting out the unnece ssary
instruments.
On various other little items of
unnecessary expense he has saved
the State over three hunded fifty
dollars.
On the bond issue of 1915 for
state highways, which was
authorized to be sold on a 59o
basis, he sold at such a premium
that the interest was reduced to
412% %; and then besides this saw
lag OF over ten thousand dollars
IN interest. he contracted the
deal SO that even the expense Tor
lithographing the bonds was
borne by the purchaser.
BY his efficiency and economy
and by his good management Of
the Treasury department, he has
cut down the outstanding in
debtedness OF the state by $685.
10000, leaving now balance
OF So, 1886, 10000 still outstan l.
ing.
This record IS a splendid one
for six months. 1t speaks loudly
of the excellent work of our
state treasurer. He is a business
man in every sense of the word
he is running the treasury de-
partment AS "a private man would
ruu his business with economy
and efficiency.
The people of the state are well
pleased with this record, as it |
shows that at least one man in |
the State capitol appreciates the
obligation to the people of the
state of conserving the public
money OF the state.
After the late malodorous s,s
tenn or lack of system of 0. V.
Allen. this is such contrast that
mere words are inadequate to
express 1t.

Not National,
But Party
Defence.

"doiiiIR ton. september Oth -
Secretary Garrison has hitherto
been recognised as one ofth two
strong men in the Cabinet. The
Secretary is i'll danger of loosing
this reputation.
Whether the call of the wild
Democrats in New Jersey who
want Garrison to run for Cover
nor has turned the Secretary's
head or whe ther the dire necessit.
les OF his chief are the moving
cause, may not be stated with
positiveness. But the fact re-
mains that. for some reason or
other, Mr.. Garrison has laid aside
the atmosphere of efficient silence
IN which he has heretofore been
dong his work and now bursts
INTO print with absurd and petu.
liant criticism of ali who venture
toexpress an opinion contrary to
that held by the Administration.
His rebuke of Gen. Wood for
Roosevelts speech at PlattsburR
is a case III point. And more re.
Gently has come another III a
published rejoinerAto letter from
the American Defence League in
which the League accused the
Wilson Administration OF oppos-
ing practical efforts to put the
nation in a state Of military pre-
paredeness. This letter, Sec.
Garrison says, quite obviously
was prepared to cause me embar-
rassment If that is the result
OF the letter. it is only because the
Secretary had put himself in a
position to be embarrassed by it.
The fact is that the Administ.
ration has set back the program
OF preparedness Tor more than a
year. The President himself dis
couraged any discussion of the
topic at the last session OF Con
gress. and, at a time when there
was pending before the Senate a
proposal for the construction OF
an adequate under-sea hotilla,
he insisted upon wasting six
weeks of the Senate's time i'm
vain attempt to pass the iniquit.
Gus ship-purchase bill.
1t is no wonder that the Ad
ministration is sensitive on tins
point, and the Secretary's letters
and interview contribute largely
to the general belief that the ac.
cusations of neglect are well
founded.
The fact is that he has not de-
parted from the position he took
last December and the Democrats.
ic leaders in Congress have not
departed from it. Senator Kern
OF Indiana, majority leader in the
Upper House, and Mr. Kitchin or
North Carolina, who holds an
analogous post III the Lower
Branch, have lately come out i'm
opposition to any adequate in
crease in either the army or the
navy. The Democratic flock will
largely follow these bellwethers-
and the President will be well
content. A brief respite from
the tension which has existed
with Germany serves to turn the
democratic mind to ship purchase
legislation and to pork barrels.
II anything is to be accomplish
ed for national defence this win
ter it will be by the sturdy ad.
vocacy of Republican Senators
and Representatives, with the
aid of a few Democrats who do
not echo the thoughts of "Olym-
plan superiority" which emanate
from the White house. At present
it is plainly evident that the only
kind of defence which interests
the Administration is the defence
of tine Democratic party.

Epworth League Social

The Epworth League enter
tanned its many friends on
Thursday evening May 20 at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. N.
Elliott. The suggestion that the
guests impersonate Mother
Goose characters was we'll taken
Jack and Jill with their pail,
Red Riding Hood with her bas-
ket, Polly with the kettle, Old
Mother Hubbard, Little Miss
Muffet, Mary Mary, Quite Con-
trary, Mother Goose's son Jack
with his goose, Curlilocks and
pretty maids trooped through
the rooms. The old woman who
sweeps the sky gave each one a
thrust with her broom. Miss
Nan Etticoat kept the company
guessing by her skilful disguise.
Old Mother Goose herself had
the most attractive costume.
Flocks of geese overhead and on
the walls made appropriate de-
coration. There were Mother
Goose rhymes to write, riddles to
guess and a spelling contest to
test our memory of Mother
Goose. Strawberries, ice cream
and cake proved refreshing late
in the evening and showed that
everyone had a very modern

Looked Like a Storm

Looked like a tornado early
Wednesday morning. The clouds
rolled up heavily from the north
west and the wind that brought
another shower with it was rath-
er ominous in its department for
a while. The cyclones in other
places coincident with the ex-
tremeIy sulry and oppressive
weather Tuesday led many tc
fear that a real windstorm was
due and had arrived. 1t proved
otherwise however and the whole
matter tuned down to a rain &C
companied by a breeze and SOM
electricity.

Improve The Park

1t is not quite three weeks
until the unveiling of the Price
monument. There is much to be
done in the matter of straighten-
ing and improving the park be-
fore that day arrives. 1t ought
TO be soon. There should be a
new walk on the south side of
the square. The old remnants of
concrete walk, should be taken
out, old wells filled and leveled
of the bumps and hillocks there
in leveled and if funds would
permit, a concrete walk through
the park from the southwest to
the northeast corner thereof
and also from the northwest to
the southeast corner, intersect-
ing with the monument. There
is plenty to be done. 1t should be
done now. If the park is not
improved before the monument
is unveiled it is a dollar to a
doughnut that it never will be.
Now is the time and there is
npt too much time at that.
