made public. Briefly the plan calls
for the increase of the regular army
to $4,000 officers and men. A re-
serve TO be known as the "cortinen-
tai army" would be raised i'm three
installments Of $4,000 men each.
These reservists would serve six
years. three the first with the colors,
during which they would receive an
nual intensive training in field
camps. With the plan in complete
operation the continental army
would always comprise 100000 men
with the cOlOrS. The regular army
of 141.OOO and a national guard Of
1873. 900 more would bring the en-
tire military forces up to $4,000.
Last year congress appropriated
$115,000,0O0 for military purposes.
As previously disclosed by Sec'y Gar
rison, his plan when in complete
operation az the end of four years
would call for an annual expendi-
ture of 1S2,OOO.OOO.
jolt to Bryan.
Mr. Bryan opposition to military
force receives this jolt in almost
the opening paragraph of Sec'y Gar
rison's report:
The necessity Of a nation having
q force commensurate with its re-
spOnsibility is demonstrated by every
correct process of reasoning found
ed upon fact This is so whether
the subject is considered in the light
of the philosophy of government or
Of history. The use of force is the
inherent essence of government. The
very term itself is explicit govern
ment-the right or power &c compel
obedience to law. Where there is no
force TO compel such obedience
that is. 70 govern-there is anarchy
. Individuals give dp the right of un-
regulated actions when they form
themselves into or become subject to
a government The progress and
advancement of that which is
summed up in the word civilization

/ cause OF government. Unless the in

nor inclination to devote himself to
I the cultivation OF the mental. moral
/ or spiritual side of his nature. That

eminent. and government can only
meet its responsibility OF assurance
by the possession of sufficient force
to secure and preserve it,"

Business Conditions

The salient facts as to the
business situation in the coun-
try as outlined in interviews
with representative men of
various industries and report
ed by the New York Sun are
as follows:
For the first time in It's his
tory the United States has a
balance of trade in it's favor
with all countries.
Money is plentiful, but it is
not convinced that investment
means continuing returns.
The country's crops are I'M
precedentedly large.
Lack of dye stuffs, added to
tariff injustice, hamper the
textile industries.
Railroad men are pessimis-
tic.
With the enormous balance
of trade in our favor, with the
banks bullying with money and
with exceptionally large crops
failure of the country to enjoy
a measure of prosperity that
is usually reflected to such
conditions is ascribed to lack
of confidence, to uncertainty
as to legislation affecting in
vestments and to fear that the
country has not yet passed
through the poison zone Of
radical action and fanaticism.
A problem is here presented
to the statesmen of America
that seems to be as important
as preparedness, as eternal
reformation of everything un-
der the sun and as tinkering
with business through law and
regulation for personal and
party political gain Boise

Montpelier, Idaho. Sept. 10, 1916

There is considerable com
ment in the Boise papers re-
garding the removal Of Ned
Jenness a s register o f the
state land board, and the prob
able appointment o I W. L.
Clifford, former secretary of
state, as his successor. The
work heretofore performed by
the register is now being done
by Heber @. Hale, who has
been with the land department
for a number of years, with
out additional compensation.
There is a report from Boise
that the land board is inclined
to get along without a regis
ter, if it is found that it can be
done satisfactorily, with the
present force.
We are not on the inside of
the land boards affairs and
therefore know nothing of the
causes which resulted in the
dismissal of Mr.. Jenness. II
his work was not satisfactory
it was, of course, the duty of
the board to remove him. But
if he has been removed simply
for the purpose of a little lat
ter giving M r. Clifford the
place, the board will certainly
have made a big mistake. Not
that we have anything against
Mr.. Clifford, nor do we espec-
tally favor Mr.. Jenness. II it
is found to be absolutely nee
essary to have a register, in
order that the states land
business N ay b e properly
cared for, the board should
endeavor to secure the SER
vices of some competent man
to ill that Office, and there are
surely scores of deserving re-
publicans in the state who are
capable o f successfully dis
charging the duties of regis
ter. This thing of one man

lie pie counter should be stop

years as secretary of state,
and before coming to Boise
held the Office of auditor of
Nez Perez county for one or
more terms. There is no ques.
tion but what he has the abili-
ty to fill the Office of register
of the land board, but if the
state has got TO keep him,
let's pass a law pensioning
such as he, and be done with
lie. Aside from the fact that

lens, which must also be solved, if we are
to achieve permanently beneficial results.
Even within the walls of penitentiaries
and reformatories the use of cocaine, NOR
phinc. and hcroin is alarmingly prevalent.
The reason is that almost all criminals,
particularly the professional thug and
gangster, are addicted to dope. In inves-
tigating the methods by which prisoners
get their supplies experts have uncovered
some almost uncanny practices. For in
stance, a prisoners wife or sweetheart
would bring him starched shirt or some
clean handkerchefs. The moment he had
them safely in his cell he would chew them
and suck out the cocaine or morphine
that had been dissolved in the starch.
Oranges and fountain pens were also found
such excellent mediums for smuggling
heroin and other drugs into prisons that
they are now practically interdirted.
Though the use of drugs is almost uni
versal among the immoral and criminal,
it must not be inferred that all addicts are
necessarily immoral or criminal. Many
are of the highest moral character-in the
beginning. How long they may remain
so is another question. Drugs are the
common tragedy of the professional
word,-- doctors, lecturers, actors, writ
ers, scientists, teachers, or students,-of
all those who seek doubtful relief from the
penalty of overwork. as well as of mere sem
sation seekers. orof those who are attempt
ing escape from violation of moral law.
pERHAPS the most pitiable fact con-
nected with the use of drugs is the OK
treme youth of a majority of the addicts.
Narcotics are peddled sometimes within
100 feet of a schoolhouse. and boys and
girls of from fourteen to eighteen become
cnslaved to their effects. 1t is a matter
of statistics that vast majority of those
using these poisons in New York and ad-
joining States are between the ages of six
teen and twcnty-one. In fact, DIR. Jack
Evening star., 1915-04-18

son II. Campbell, city prison physician,
testifying before the Senate Public Health
Committee recently, made the startling
assertion that within radius of few
blocks of Third avenue and l49th street,
New York, more than 1000 school chill
dren had acquired the heroin habit, or
were in danger of becoming 10y riders,
because OF their present use of the drug.
The dopcd drink, furthermore, is the
most potent ally of the white SLAYER. In
the intermission between dances much is
accomplished through the agency of a
drugged drink that may never be undone.
SO long as interstate traffic in habit
forming drugs is permitted, just SO long
will illegal venders and users find devious
and multtudinous ways of beating the
law. AS there is nothing to prevent un-
scrupulous dealers ship into the State
these devils hrews that take out the
man" and make an addict. In fact, the
formation of the habit in many instances
may be directly caused by drug-contan-
ing medicine that cannot even be sold in
the State in which it was made, but which
can be shipped into and sold in other
States. The sale of cocaine is prohibited
in Maryland, excepting on a doctors
prescription; but there is nothing to pre-
vent a salesman in Maryland from
shipping cocaine into the District of
Columbia, where similar law is in force
This shipment may go direct to the ped
dler, consumer, or other irresponsible
persons.
The profits on such sales are enormous.
Any figure between 300 and 5000 per
cent. may represent the gain to these de-
bauchers of young lives. This is the chief
reason why it is so difficult to stamp out
the traffic.
A S to the durability Of the drug habit
there is absolutely no question. no
matter how long one has taken narcotics,
