EXPRESSIONS UNWORTHY
OF AMERICANS.

THERE is a disposition on the part
of certain party organs to make po-
litical capital of the resignation of
Bryan from the presidents cabinet,
and President Wilson is criticised for
not acting according to the dictates
Of Bryan. These same papers but a
few days previous were holding up
to scorn the government policy Of
"watchful waiting" They clamored
for interference in Mexico declaring
ii a duty to humanity, they pointed to
the contempt in which our flag was
held, and to the thousands sarving on
account of war. This opposition to
every act of the government is down
right derision and unworthy of an
American.
1t seems that at all times that there
have been papers who hold partyism
above Americanism and miss no op-
p~ortunity to express dissatisfaction.
Even Lincoln, the tenderest memory
OIL America, they would have crucified,
but now as then the acts OF the presi.
dent will live and be honored long af.
ter this criticism and the unjust critics
are buried in oblivion.

THE OLD HOME TOWN.

DO YOU remember the lazy fellow
who used to sit around In the nipple.
ment store and the barbershops in the
old home town and predict the fail.
ure OF every boy who tried to poke his
nos above the common herd? Up in
the village Of Salem they used Ia
crack lots Of jokes at the expense OF
a lank and ungainly young fellow who
clerked in the village grocery, poled
fiat boats on the river and split rails
for a living. They called him Abe in
those days. He became president OF
the United States and thousands from
far places on the earth have visited
his tomb at Springfield to do him
honor. They used to make fun of Bill
McAdoo back in the home town. OF
course you've heard of Bill. He dug
q tunnel under the Hudson river and
is secretary of the treasury now. But
there are a lot Of old tads back in the
old home town who sort OF hope that
Bill will fall over something yet and
land in the consomme. And orville
Wright was a regular joke in his ole
nome town. II is the old home town
tself that is the joke.

OUR PRESIDENT.

OUR President. May he always be
in the right but our President, right
or wrong.
Let this motto, this toast-this shib-
boleth, IL need be-well from the heart
and burst from the lips Of every
American citizen:
Our President; in a crisis such as
this. may he always be in the right:
But, in a crisis such as this, our presi.
dent, right or wrong.
This Is no time for loyal Americans
to debate, to Discuss to dispute.
This is not the hour nor place to
weigh what is.
This is not the occasion to argue
pro-Wilson or pro-Bryan.
While the moments are forging i'm.
~perishable history upon the hot anvil
of today, the most devoted friends Of
the secretary Of state can but look
upon his departing form with sorrow,
to follow with zeal the advancing fig.
ure OF the nations commander-in-chief.
Woodrow Wilson is president OF
these United States-united forever,
thank God! after -four years Of grief
and tears and blood.
AS such president, his voice is the
voice of the nation.
And this united nation will follow
that voice withersoever IL calls, let
the consequences be what they may

OUR DUTY AS AMERICANS.

IN THE present crisis which faces
America the thoughts Of all good citi.
zens turn toward President Wilson.
The prayer Of the nation is that he
may be wisely guided SO that III be.
loved country will pass through this
crisis with honor and s~elf-respect
Val is a dreadful thing, and If pos
sible 1t should be avoided, but to avoid
war We must not go so far as to sacri.
flee u rights, u honor, and our
self-respect secured by the life's
blood of our forefathers.
The sinking of the Lusitania was
n of the worlds greatest horrors.
1t is pronounced the greatest viola.
ton of International law that the
world has ever known, and we all
must agree that the preventing Oh
other ships to go to the rescue of the
drowning thousand was a violation OF
the law of humanity uneQualed in
history.
Out of all this horror that now fills
the world some good must come and
its source will be In this country.
Our president is actuated only by
highest motives, and as he Is a man
keen, calculating. patriotic, and firm
with all, it is the duty of every Ameri-
can, whether native Or naturalized to
uphold his hands to sustain the gov
eminent, to forget parties and remem-
Der only that we are Americans.
Long live America! Long live our
president.

GAME WARDEN WON'T APP
POINT UNPAID DEPUTIES.

| BOISE, April 6.--State Game Warden
Jones announces new policy to be
followed by his department in the
future in that deputies will not be
appointed by him to serve without
pay as he does not believe it is to
the best interests Of the department
for unpaid deputies to get into the
service.
This policy was made known in n
letter written by the state game war
den to a party residing in one of the
interior departments. He asked that
unpaid deputies he appointed to en-
force the fish and game laws in a
certain section Of the county. The
state game warden replied, objecting to
the appointment of deputies in this
manner and stating the grounds for
his objections.
II believe" said Warden Jones,
that the main reason such a stringent
trespass law was placed on the statute
books was because of the fact that
deputies who are not paid but act in
the capacities of officials become too
lenient. ! do not question any sports
men and | think we all want to see |
the fish and game laws enforced to the |
letter but with so many deputized /
there is tendency to overlook some
Of the provisions Of the law and be-
come less strict. Many sportsmen |
awe talked with on this matter take
he same view | do. | have refused
o appoint deputies to serve without
'ay and ii will be the policy of this
department. not to appoint such dep
ties"

REPUBLICANS WIN IN CHICAGO
Thompson Elected Mayor and Nearly
Half of Council Republican.

Chicago.-William Hale Thompson
was elected mayor of Chicago on
Tuesday by a plurality of 1899, the
highest ever given a mayoralty can
