Negotiations for the purchase Of the
Islands. a little group cas-, OF Porto
Rico. have been in progress intcrmit-
tently for half "a century Because Of
their strategic value. particularly since
the construction Of the Panama Canal,
the American government has been
anxious 10 acquire them. to pre-
vent the islands from falling into the
hands of any foreign power. German
Interference was credited with block
ing negotiations on the subjcc, in 1902
after the United States had ratified a
treaty.
Practically nothing was known about
the recent conferences between Sccre-
iary Lansing ana Minister Erun. and
there was no announcement of the fac,
that the negotiations had been rene " ed
until shortly before the pact was
signed. Even the terms of the pur-
chase were kept secret until one of the

A New Wheat Pest.

Another pest has been added to the
active enemies Of the American wheat
grower. While Europe has been at
war one of its most dangerous grain
enemies, the stripe rust, found it's way
to America and was noted in last years
crop in the northwest. 1t is markedly
like the well known stem rust that has
been cutting into wheat growers profits
with great deal of regularity recent.
ly. That it has been pretty widely
scattered may be guessed from the
fact that thousands of car lots of wheat
from Montana and the Pacific north
west were shipped to midwestern
points during the fall and early win
ter. Where such wheat has been
bought for seed the pest is pretty GER
tain to make its appearance this sea-
son. There is no known method of
fighting it save to delay it's appearance
in the great wheat districts as much as
possible by planting no wheat that was
grown west of line passing through
eastern Montana.-Farm Progress.

FOR CONGRESS

Burton L. French, is Latah
County's candidate for Represent
ative in Congress before the Re-
publican Primaries to be held Sep
TENDER S, 1916.
Mr.. French is practically Latah
County product, coming to this
county in 1882 with his parents.
AS boy and young man, Mr..
French did the ordinary work of
the farm boy in the pioneer period
of the states growth. He worked
his way through the preparatory
and college departments of the
state University. He was mem
Der of the fifth and sixth sessions
of the Idaho State Legislature from
Latah County, and has represented
Idaho in Congress for ten years.
His record is an open book and the
Republicans Of Latah County ap-
peal to the people of the state to
support Mr.. French for re-nomi-
nation upon that record and upon
the additional ground that north
Idaho is entitled to direct repre-
sentation in Congress.

Philadelphia Ledger: Henry H.
Rogers. associate of John D. Rookie
Teller, once said that the first thing
he learned from the great oil king
was to get every possible dollar out
of every investment he made. 1t
is good business principle, this
idea of 100 per cent efficiency; but
it is not the only principle. There
is, for example, the principle of 80
per cent.
A book without a margin would
save paper, but it wouldn't be half
so pleasant book to read. A life
without margin may produce
heavily, but it may not be life
worth living. If man is out for
the 100 per cent he is all too likely
to lose sight of half the things
which make life livable. ' If he is
counting the milestones along his
road it is quite possible that he will
miss the scenery.

also when he travels at the expense
of the state. The following facts
are culled from the records and
were published in the Capitol News
Of Boise.
Under date of March 9, 1916,
there is another interesting voucher
showing a total of $3.50 expenses
accounted for by Coffin for trip
to Chicago "for the purpose of TAX

$1.45 for his luncheon and $1.85
for his supper on the diner. His
breakfast at Green River is shown
to have cost $1.3O, his luncheon

Cost of the dispositions is given and
a number of incidental expenses
are accounted for as breakfast at
the Congress hotel, $1.15, taxi So,

Very similar items for meals on the

We don't believe in being penur-
ious but when an ordinary lawyer
travels at the expense of the state
he should not start out with the
idea of having a hot time. 1t is a
simple business proposition, moth
ing more. The taxpayers should
scan their ballots as never before
and see to it that all grafters of
whatever sort be allowed to stay at
home.
The Gazette believes that when
a county officer has given honest
and efficient service for one or
more terms, party issues should be
forgotten and the united support
of both parties be given him.
Wheu party issues are carried to
such extremes that a man will
vote for an incompetent candidate,
for the simple reason that he be-
longs to the right party" it is
time something should be done.
Last election the ballots showed
that the majority of voters were
getting out of the party rut and
voting for the individual whom
they thought could best serve the
people. 1t is to be hoped that in
the coming election the ballots
will show an even greater depar-
ture from partisan lines.

That preparedness is the safe
policy of government while an
other nation is preparing, every
honest political economist must ad-
nit, but the safest and sanest
policy would be to bring about and
enforce war disarmament of all
civilized nations, and return to in
dustrial pursuits the millions of
men trained to kill one another.
1t is pitiful when one notices the
kind Of campaign that Candidate
Hughes is conducting. His letter
of acceptance, however, did not
give promise for a dignified cam
paign. It is undignified, to say the
least, to see a former honored
Chief Justice whine about every
appointment the President has
made as we'll as to become carp
ing critic of every act of the ad-
ministration. He is not measuring
up to his capabilities.

Voters who failed to register
have still a good chance to vote at
the primary election September 5.
1t will be necessary for the unreg-
istered voter to be vouched for by
registered free holder of the pre-
cinct and to take an oath before
one of the judges of election on the
day of the election. This will re-
quire but little time and the
trouble will be slight.
President Wilson refuses abso-
lutely to change his mind on the
question of Woman Suffrage. Mr..
Hughes goes farther than his plat
form and has expressed himself as
approving a Federal Amendment to
the Constitution. But this has not
budged the President from the con-
viction that suffrage is a matter
for the states to determine.
The state of Idaho has a big job
on hand this fall. If it succeeds in
giving the state house a thorough
cleansing it will accomplish a work
that should have been done long
ago. Let no guilty man escape.
Hughes has at last found bona
fide issue. Wilson has replaced
competent" republicans with Gin
experienced" democrats. Of Course
the inference is that if Hughes is
elected the democrats that Wilson
has placed in Office will remain.
They surely ought to be both COM
petent aud experienced after four
years of service.
The Gazette is not viewing with
alarm the fact that the leaders of
the Suffragists are trying to rally
the women in the suffrage state to
the support of Hughes. The Pro-
gressive leaders tried to hand over
the party to the Hughes forces and
ANONYMOUSLY failed. The Demo-
Gratis tried to array the women of
Idaho against Mormon domination
in state politics a few years ago
but failed miserably. The most re-
cent experiment in this state was
tried few months ago in Boise
when it was supposed that the
women would prevent the recall of |
the mayor because the issue was
strictly moral one. and what was
the result? No, the women vote
very much like men. They can't
