never would let him see the President.
When two of Wilson's own pupils and
honor graduates, went to Washington to visit
their former teacher, and to protest against
his intermeddling in Florida politics, against
their father who had done so much for Will
sons presidential candidacy these brilliant
Southern youths were refused admission to
the White House.
Like the Protestant bishop they hung
around day after day, but Wilson and Tu-
multy we're freshly obdurate.
When the Union Vets first invited the
President to make the annual address at
Arlington Cemetery, he Jelly refused, and
Champ Clark had to be drafted for the ora
ton.
When this Presidential pedagogue went to
the great reunion of Blue and Gray, at Get
tysburg, he did not visit single tent, did not
sit at single camp fire, did not shake the
hand of single soldier; and did not take the
slightest notice of either Longstreet's widow,
or of Meade's granddaughter
Like an automaton from the Frigid Zone

President of the People kept inside his Pull

PSYCHOLOGICAL POVERTY OF THE PEOPLE.
mans man, uttered that revolving statement
In 1914, when cotton was down to cents and
the millions of producers were in despair-the
statement that the distress of the people was
psychological"
There were no facts to justify complaints
and distress: it was just a state of mind.
Debt did not crush; hunger did not gnaw;
unemployment was myth; loss of home and
happiness was a fiction; the cry of the child
for bread, and of the outcast for shelter,
were only perverse action of the intellect.
The whole thing was psychological"
And he had made the situation very psv-

PAGE TWO

The Presidents leading organ The New
York World, asks the question:
as the Kaiser to rule the United StateS?'
That's unfair. We have no right to impugn
the honesty and the fidelity of naturalized
German, because his heart is with his Father
land in this Titanic European struggle.
The speech which the President made last
week. at Washington, sounds very antagon-
istic to the address he made to the newly
naturahzed immigrants in Philadel phia, last
year
AS reported in Democratic daiIes, Presi-
dent Wilson deliberately arraigns the German
Americans, and stirs up enmity between them
and the great mass Of our people.
Suppose he succeeds in doing so, what will
he have done?
He will have raised fake issue to keep
down the real one.
THE REAL ISSUE!
What is the real ISSUE and the only issue?
1t is, achether the Italian Pope and his zaaUs
shall be supreme IN this country, debating
our policies, and Sub0rdinating our l0aCs to
his 0aCn.
When the President spoke in New York on
Memorial Day. he made yelled attack upon
the Patriotic Secret Societies and the Masons,
accusing them of stirring up strife between
churches,
Is he consistent, now, in grossly affronting
the millions of our citizens who happen to
have Gernanic blood in their veins?
We have no better people than the natural
lied Bohemians, Hungarians, Czechs, Po-
landers, Swedes Switzers, Scandinavians,
French and Dutch: is it any of the Presidents
business to indict their sympathies?
Is he consistent, when he stigmatizes the
German and says nothing about the Jew
whose sympathies are as strong for the Teuton
allies?
Is he consistent in arraigning the foreign
born, when he himself selected German Jew
-naturalized only four years ago-and
placed him at the head of our Rothschild- Bel
mont Jacob Schiff Money Trust?
Wilson's real purpose is sufficiently trans
parent He wants to put fictitious and
racial issue before the public, in order that
the genuine and SOLE ISSUE may be hid
den.
He knows what that issue is, and he's not
man enough to face it.
Besides, he's in no condition to meet it.
AS Governor of New Jersey, he was the
obedent tool of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and of the Romanist prelate, Bishop McFaul.
AS Governor, he passed over all the
Protestants and chose Jesuit for his most
confidential employee.
During the campaign OF 1912, Wilson pre-
tended to ditch Tumulty, but he appointed
the Jesuit to the Secretaryship of the State
Supreme Court
Then, when the Romanist vote had made
him President, he Immediately took Tumulty
back to his former place
Was it honest?
Does a sincere man pretend to do thing,
reap the benefit of the pretense, and then
cynically drop the mask?

It was this ally of the gamblers and the

their Attorneys, editors, and Congressman to

WHO GETS THE PLUMs?
AS fast as big places became vacant, Tu4
multy and Wilson filled them either with
Republican niggers, or with Fourth Degree
knights of Foreign Footkissery.
There are no colored Democrats; when
negro calls himself by that name, he's at q
masquerade, and means to leave, as soon as he
gets what he came after
Consequently, the White House Jesuits had
to appoint Bob Terrell, black Republican,
City Judge of Washington, upon which lofty
eminence Bob still roosts.
The Recorder of Deeds in Washington is an
awfully good place, and the White House
Jesuits gave it to Lincoln johnson, of Atlanta,
he being Republican of the most principals

When Wilson became alarmed about these
appointments of Republican negroes, Lincoln
j. had to go; but the Jesuits found an eagen
Footkisser, named Costello, and put him in
the place of Lincoln J.
Between Costello and Lincoln, there is
about as much choice as there is between the
Devil and the Witch.

kisser of the 4th degree.
There was the Public Printers fat Job
and it went to Ford, another 4th degree
Footkisser.
There was the Collectors fat job at the New
York Custom House-and it went to Malone,
another 4th Degree Papist.
The number of fat places that Tumulty has
filled with his Columbian Secret oath gang,
is too great for further mention at this tin e.
Never has Secret Society, which boasts of
its allegiance to foreigner, been given so
many, positions of power and profit.
Never has the Military Mass made such

The Baltimore Platform said.
We demand that the collection of such taxes
shall be limited to the necessities of government
honestly and economically administered.
The comment of the New York Evening
Sun is to the point:
This seems to prompt the inquiry whether $685.
100000 for political roads, SAB 600, 900 for river
and harbor graft, $40 000 900 for fake nitrogen

buildings and $48,000,000 for Congress District

only of Democratic greed.
Yes; greed for economy that seeks to give
us a Press gag law, as an excuse for saving
100000!

The Illinois primaries will be held
September 10, but interest in the local
fight is swallowed up in the presi-
dental campaign Mr.. Hicks says that
he heard much talk on the trains and
elsewhere and that the concensus Of
opinion is that Wilson will be elected.
Mr. Hicks says that he saw Hughes
in Denver and that he was more fav-
orably impressed with his personal
appearance than he was by the pic
lures which he had seen of him. His
manner of greeting the crowds that
lined the streets, however, was forced
and formal and did not evoke enthusi-
asm. Mr.. Hicks suggests that he is
somewhat rusty in campaign work and
that the politicians probably sent him
on the western tour in order to get
him into form before the real work
begins in the big states in the east.

DRY FARMS OF GEM STATE BEAT

Only Idaho Wheat Used by Factory

That Idaho wheat is the best cereal
in the world for the production of
macaroni is the statement of c. A.
Mariana sales manager for the Inter
national Macaroni company, of Salt
Lake City, who was in Twin Falls on
business Thursday afternoon. Mr.
Mariani declares that the hard wheat
raised on dry farms of Idaho is super
Tor to any other, even to that grown in
Utah, so that his company uses only
the hard Turkey Red variety of hard
wheat grown on the foothills of Ida

than any other. Wheat which is dried
into small, hard grains makes the
best macaroni flour

In Line For President
MEN ON TRAINS ALSO TALK FAY-
ORABLY OF WILSON CHANCES.
Prominent German Discusses Issues
and Says Many TeutOns VIII Vote
For Wilson Against Militarism.

ct looks like a Wilson landslide in
Illinois," said A. r. Hicks, one OF the
Twin Falls county representatives, on
his return Sunday, "and people back
there think that he will be elected by
a big majority They are not satisfied
with the character of Hughes
speeches and are not likely to turn
down the present administration"
Mr.. Hicks stated that there would be
some detection among the German
voters owing to the denunciation Of
President Wilson by certain German
organizations, but added that others
would resent this and vote for Wilson
on account of these denunciations.
Among those who resented the activi-
ties Of the German organizations were
many German voters. Mr.. Hicks SAID
that he talked with prominent ILL
nois German who said in effect:
1--WE are not going to be led up TO
the polls and voted in body You
ought to know enough about the Ger
man spirit to understand that. l do
not believe that Wilson took the cor
rect position regarding some matters
in controversy between the United
States and Germany; l think that he
was too radical in mis- demands In
some instances, but he won his point
by the very writing of notes for which
he is abused by some, and did not IN
volve the country in war. Although
do not wholly agree with him, yet
am glad that he did win his point
without war, and intend to vote for

COST OF BOISE PROJECT
OVER ELEVEN MILLION
Secretary's Report Shows Cost of Con-
struction is Over Twice That Of Ar
r0wr0ck Dam.

That the irrigation project of the
Boise-Payette Water Users association
is a big one, may be noted from an
article in the Nampa Record on the
report of W. L. Girard, the associa-
tons secretary. The following are
figures on construction to June 30:
Gross construction cost of the pro-
ject up to June 80 of the present year
was 1925, $1,000.
The various revenues earned during
this time amounted to $62S, 143.0S.
Net cost of construction work of the
project up to June 3d. 1916, $685.
547.S2.
The cost of the Arrowrock dam was
$4,772, 723.17, and that of the Deer
Flat reservoir 1857 ,613.47.
The earnings of the project were
realised from rental of power for
lights and other purposes, for irriga-
ton water, profits on commissary and
mercantile stores.

REED NOT GUILTY
OF OSCILLATION
Released on Charge of Assault and
Battery for Alleged Attempt to Kiss
ShOshOne Basin Belle.

Because he got giddy with Lena Will
lis while getting his mail at the Will
lis home in the Shoshone Basin on
August 5, Duffy Reed faced jury in
the court of Probate Judge A. W. Os-
from Saturday, charged with assault
and battery, but after due delibera-
ton these good men and true, decid-
ed that the criminal act charged had
not been committed and turned him
loose.
The evidence disclosed the fact that

the neighbors round about The faith
er of Lena returned from the city Au-
gust 5, bringing the mail, as usual,
and in addition bringing a box of cho-
colates for his daughter, who is nine
teen years of age. Reed, who is a
married man living on nearby
claim, came after his mail and found
Lena eating the candy, which she in
vited him to share. He shared the
candy. Just what else he did is dis
puted Lena says that he tried to put
his arm around her and kiss her. He
says that he did not, but that as she
leaned over with piece of candy, he
took hold of her arm. He did not ac-
tually kiss her. Lena said that she
forthwith ordered him out of the
house and he went. She said that he
came back and apologized, he said
that he did not The jury concluded

DOOR BREAKS LEG
OF KIMBERLY GIRL
Reading Circus Poster on Birthday
Thelma COppinger Sustains Severe
Injury.

What had been planned for an en-
Joyable afternoon came to a sudden
close shortly after noon Saturday
when Thelma Coppinger, fourteen
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs
Wiley Coppinger, suffered a broken
leg as the result of large door fall
ing on her at the old Norton livery
barn, where she was playing in COM
pany with Leila Tate, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Tate, says the
Call.
Saturday was Lela's birthday and a
little party was to have been given in
the afternoon, to which a few friends
had been invited. Thelma Coppinger
had arrived and the two girls were in
the barn. Some circus advertising had
been placed on the barn while the
door was closed and when it was open
ii obscured a part of it from view
The girls were endeavoring to push
the door shut in order to read the an
nouncements of the circus, when the
door left the track, falling forward
Thelma was in about the center, and
was unable to get out of the day. The
Tate girl was near the side of the
door, and aside from slight bruise on
the arm was not injured. j. II. VOss,
the transfer man who has the barn
rented, was there at the time, and
with the assistance of Leila Tate got
the injured irl from under the door
The door is a massive affair, weighing
several hundred pounds, and it is a
wonder that Miss Coppinger was not
injured more seriously. Help was i'm
mediately summoned and it was found
that the injury consisted of a com
pound fracture of the left leg JUS
above the ankle. 1t was set and The
unfortunate girl taken to the Coping
