Hills Predicts That Progress

WASHINGTON-With the Republi-
can national convention only a few
days distant it looks much as though
the real fight for the presidential
nomination will resolve itself into a
contest between the Hughes forces on
the one hand and the Roosevelt forces
on the other The situation may
change but if new factor enters in
to the calculations, it probably will
be in the shape Of a dark horse, rath-
er than one of the "favorite sons
The favorite sons seem to have been
eliminated.
The rise and fall of the Roosevelt
tide has been one of the interesting
features of the preconvention cam
paign The rise of the Hughes tide
has been slow, steady and ever in
creasing
At no time since sentiment turned
toward Hughes has the Hughes move
ment experienced the slightest set
back, and as one after another of the
| favOrite sons have been practically
eliminated, save on the first and COM
plimentary ballot, the Hughes boom
has gathered strength Hughes
seems to be the prime favorite among
many delegates who will go to Chica-
go instructed to vote for others.
Chairman Charles d. Hills of the
Republican national committee Sun
day expressed the opinion that the
platform which will be adopted by the
national convention next month will
be unusually brief and will deal only
with the most vital public questions.
From information obtained in talking
with party leaders on the subject, he
believes the principal planks in the
platform will include the following:
A statement on Americanism.
A statement on preparedness for
adequate military and naval defense.
A declaration in favor of a protec-
tive tariff to be prepared by a nom
partisan tariff commission created by
congress, with special attention to the
needs of the industries of this country
after the close of the European war.
A declaration in favor of a mer-
chant marine.
A statement dealing with the al
legged shortcomings of the Democratic
national administration.
On the question of national woman
suffrage, Chairman Hilles said there
was a difference of opinion among
the party leaders and he did not know
what action the convention would take
on the subject
In speaking of the probable action
of the Progressive national conven-
tion called to be held June in Chi
cago, simultaneously with the Repub-
lican national convention, Chairman
Hilles said:

RAILROAD STRIKE
WILL BE SUBJECT
Twin Falls Attorney to Discus
the Club Referendum at SmOk
er.

While the issue before the Twin
Falls Commercial club in the latest
referendum is whether the threatened
trainmen's strike should be SUBMIT
ed to the interstate commerce commits
sion for attempted solution, at this
time, or whether, if adjustment should
be attempted before strike is called,
it should be submitted to some other
body like the federal board of con-
ciliation; Secretary James Mcmillan
has decided to make the occasion of
its determination along general lines.
For that reason he has secured the
cooperation of several lawyers who
will discuss the question of labor in
its relation to capital and to the pub
lie from several angles. Attorney
Stephan will take the side of the rail-
roads, Attorney Kinney the side of the
workmen and Attorney Wilson the
side of the public. An interesting
discussion is foreshadowed

HIGH PRICES DO NOT
affect FREE TRADE

The following is from the Tucson
Citizen and~while it was written on
the basis Of conditions confronting
that paper it so identically fits the
conditions Of the DailyI Internaaonl
that we reproduce it here:
"The advancing price of print pa
per threatens every newspaper in the
United States with serious loss. For
example, The Citizen has contract
for the current year for its paper at
figure of little less than one-half
that quoted for print paper not now
under contract. The Citizen in nor
NAL times pays about $500 for
years supply of paper. Unless there
should be reduction in the present
open market price it will cost The
Citizen next year not less than $751;
900.
THE white paper used by The Citi-
zen makes more than Is per cent of
the total cost of publication. Double
that figure and the cost will be near
ly 30 per cent. What is true of The
Citizen is true practically of every
newspaper in the United States. Fur
thermore, there are very few daily
newspapers on WHICH the profit is 20
per cent Of the cost of production. On
only few is the profit as much as 10
per cent.
1T requires no expert mathemati-
clan to see that unless the price of
print paper is reduced materially
with the beginning Of next year there
must be great reduction in the amount
of paper used or there must be de-
cided increase in subscription and adj
vertising rates or practically every
newspaper in the United States must
go into bankruptcy. In the language
Of Grover Cleveland, it is a condition,
not theory, that confronts u.s.
Douglas International.

BARE LEGGED BUT WEAR
FUR ON SHORT SKIRTS

New York, July 19.-It may amuse,
startle or enrage male readers to
learn that the fashionable female
young person is usurping masculine
hose. There has been an advance in
the price of full-length female hosiery
owing to the war or something
and the male sock has been found
to be better quality, cheaper and just
awfully cool and nice, declare these
resourceful young women. Besides,
you can almost never tell the differ
ence.
Short skirts are shorter than ever
just now. With the appearance of
the male half-hose there has been APP
prehension felt in the more prudish
circles over the alarming possibility
Of gap or hiatus in the female cos
tune. To be blunt about it, the top
Of the hose and the bottom of the
skirt are seen to be at remove of
several inches. In this interval there
is exposed to the night air and to the
polite wonder of those about, a small
portion of the wearer's bicep, be it
spare or plump.
1t is very friendly to the women
to help make the warm weather more
tolerable. Men can't walk the streets
in bathing suits with any seemliness,
but it will please them to see other
mems wives and siters in relief from
the heat. You go down the street
any hot day and here comes young
woman with the northern exposure
mentioned and you feel refreshed.
You do at least if you get good look.

GENERAL NEWS OF THE
BOYS ON The BORDER

Adjutant General Charles w. Har-
ris returned from a ten days visit to
the border, during which time he in
spected most of the troop encamp-
ments between Columbus, N. M. and
Naco, Arizona.
The colonel found more troops on
the border, than he had ever dreamed
existed within the boundaries Of the
United States. According to rumor on
the border, there are $4,000 more mil
itiamen to come, and where the au-
thorities are going to put them, looks
like mystery.
The eastern troops are heartily sick
of their jobs, the desert country and
heat sort Of making them homesick.
Columbus, said the colonel, is about
the busiest place in North America.
The town which Paneho Villa favored
with visit is the base for Pershing's
column, and as such is daily receiving
and sending out thousands of tons Of
supplies.
The supplies are sent to the expedi-
tionary force by truck trains, which
leave Columbus at short intervals.
The trucks, are all Of late models, and
are all driven without muffiers. When
battery of twenty or thirty of them
pull out in line. all running as fast as
possible, and with their motors thun-
dering at the ton of their voices, it
reminds one of battlefield.
The colonel found the Arizona
troops very well disposed, outside the
three companies at Aio and Casa
Grande, the men have the best Of the
proposition all the wav around. The
Naco station especially is ideally
located and QUILTED to entertain
troops. There are tennis courts enough
for the men TO engage in the great
outdoor pastime The country at Fort
Huachuachua, where the Second Bat
talon is located, is about the prettiest
spot in Arizona. Phoenix Republican

Before starting on the new roac
into Deadwood, the forest service has
set up place where travellers may
register. Then if someone desires to
communicate with them, the forest
ranger knows where to find them
and it is his duty to deliver any mes
sage. A telephone service is main
tanned, which is free to all who use
it for absolutely necessary purposes.
In this way, and in many other ways,
Uncle Sam is doing everything posi-
BILE to make camp life pleasant to all
who desire to make use of his magni-
ficent Fairgrounds. But he expects
and demands in return rigid observ-
ance of the rules and regulations laid
down for the protection of the for
ests from fires and vandalism and
keeping camp grounds in a sanitary
condition. Uncle Sam is a gracious
host to those who accept his hospi-
tality but a stern master to those who
abuse it.

TALES OF THE DEAD.
WOOD TRAIL
A Most Delightful Trip Over a
Wonderful Road and Amid
Enhancing Scenery

A writer who would do justice /,
the beauties of the Deadwood country
on the South Fork of the Payettte &C
miles from Emmett, and give to his
readers anywhere near true picture
of that scenic wonderland, would
need to be skillful artist, poet
with soul, an adept word painter and
an ardent lower Of Nature-all rolled
into one being. Pine clad hills, prec-
ipices of rock with towers and turrets
and castellated battlements. then
sweeps of meadow land with golden
grain and green alfalfa fields and I'll
notify, then rugged canyons and more
pines and mountain crags, with the
Payette river in between, now foam
crested as it tumbles in wild abandon
over rocky falls, and now flowing
peacefully and quietly asif resting to
gather strength for another mad race
over boulders and through narrow
gorges, its color ever changing as pine
trees or weather stained rock or bleak
and brown hilllsides are mirrrored in
its waters. 1t is all entrancingly
beautiful and awe inspiring, and one
comes home filled with pride for what
Nature has done in making play |
grounds for Idaho people where "the
wicked cease from troubling and the /
weary may rest"

Camped at Deadwood was mer-
chant from Eagle. He is genius,
and possibly distant relation by
marriage Of Old Bill Misgivens. To
the writer he confided that fishing
used to be better there until the
pine squirrels and the trout formed a
philanthropic brotherhood. As his
story goes, at a certain place below
the Oxbow tunnel, there is band of
squirrels who are in the habit of
catching grasshoppers, climbing up an
overhanging tree and dropping the
grasshoppers in the water below.
