WHY THE scREENsf

Why are saloons and the patrons of saloons invariably opposed to the re- moval of screens from these places of business! A man does not object to being seen in . grocery or in a dry goods store-why. if the dramshop Is a good thing in the community, Is he ashamed to be seen in a saloon.

He|pfulness andEncouragemonl
 Urged by Alfred P. Thom.
CREDIT MUST BE IMPROVED
Increase of Transportation Facilitie, Necessary to Secure Relief From High Cost of Living May Thus B. Provided For by the Railroads.

Washington, Nov. 2S-A new policy of government railroad regulation based on constructive principles of helpfulneSS and encouragement instead of upon principles of repression and punishment, was urged by Alfred r. Thom, counsel for the Railway Execu. tives' Advisory Committee, the first witness on behalf of the railroads be- fore the Newlands Joint Committee on Interstate Commerce, which has insti- tuted a general inquiry into the prob lcms of railroad regulation.
 Tt Is proposed by the joint resou. ton of Congress- said MT. Thom. Ito go into comprehensive study of the whole subject of transportation. to make new assessment. after % years Of experiment. of it's history, It's pres. ent conditions and It's future needs. The railroads accept the view that reg. ulation Is permanent and enduring part of government in America and that the first duty of the carriers Is to the public. That duty Is to afford reasonable facilities on reasonable serms and at reasonable rates, and this must be done before any private inter ests can be considered"
 Certainty, Safety and Sufficieney.
 Mir. Thom contended that the real in. terest of the public Is In being assured of certainty, safety and sutficiency of transportation facilities. rather than in rates. The first consideration of the public is to obtain transportation facili- ties. What the cost Is. is in reality c second consideration, he said.
 MT. Thom proposed an increase of transportation facilities as a method of securing relief from the high cost of living. There have been less than 1000 miles of new railroad construct. ed fin the United States during the past year" he said, Hess than In any year since 1S4S. except the period of the Civil War and yet the cost of living is daily advancing owing to shortage of supplies which might be remedied by securing access to new areas of pro duction.
 Credit Must Be Improved.
 This leads to the consideration as to whether railroad credit Is as good as the public interest requires. It Is i'm possible for railroads to earn enough to supply the necessary new facilities from current revenue. They must be provided from credit. Investors can not be coerced. but must be attracted
 Among the conditions affecting rail. road credit which deter investors he mentioned the following:
 First, Railroad revenues are not controlled by investors, but are fixed and limited by governmental authority and not by one but by several govern mental authorities, which do not recog nize responsibility for assured results 70 investors and are uncOordinated

3ECOND CHOICE NOT
NECESSARY AT PRIMARY

The primary election is not far
If. coming, as IL does. on the 6th of
september. A good many candidates
lppear on the Republican ticket. The
Democratic ticket Is practically nom
mated at this time, there appearing
but one or two breaks In the tran
utility OF the Democratic host. It is
noted that some OF the candidates
are making a bid for second choice
votes. Not long ago the voter was
required to make = second choice.
but as the theory was manifestly a
SPECIES of bunk, and no voter has a
second choice, that portion OF the
election law was killed, go that il
is no longer compulsory to vote the
second choice. Therefore IL is a rood
scheme to forget Il and stand by the
original choice all the time.-Poca-

OF the attorneys of the state, regard
less of their political affiliations.
During his long service on the su-
preme bench Judge Sullivan has
rendered hundreds of opinions and
no attorney has ever been heard to
say that prejudice or personal feel
ings have entered into a single de-
cision. AS a fitting tribute to his
long and faithful service ON the
bench, Judge Sullivan should be re-
nominated by large majority.
For lieutenant governor, we have
not made a choice as between B. NJ
Holt and L. v. Patch. The former Is
prominent business man of Cald
we'll, while Mr.. Patch halls from
Payette. The latter Is now serving az
captain of one of the Idaho compa
nies OF the national guard now or
the Mexican border, but should he
be nominated and elected he will be
able to return home and preside over
the senate at the coming session OF
the legislature.
This completes the state ticket
with the exception OF state mine in.
/ spector and as Robert N. Bell, tho
present incumbent, has no opposi-
tion, his nomination Is assured.
We can hardly expect our choice
of candidates to meet with the ap.
prevail Of all the republican readers
of the Examiner, but from our &C.
4 quaintance with those who are as.
piring for Office we feel that we have
made no mistake In the selections
of those we intend to support, anG
we ask the republicans Of Bear Lakt
county to give their careful consid
Grafton to the ones we have named
above.

ing Ship Was Torpedoed
Comes from Officer.
tny yAssoeiArEp PRESS,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Ambassa-
dor Pentield cabled today he had pre-
sented informally to the Vienna for
eign office the American governments
request for any information on the
destruction Of the British liner Persia,
and at the time Of fling his despatch
had received no reply. eSB
American Consul Garrels at Alex
andria reported that the aftidavits he
had gathered from the Persia surviv-
ors gave no more proof that sub
marine torpedoed the liner or regard
ing its nationality than were con-
tanned in his first dispatches.
Ambassador Penfield was instructed
to ask the Austrian government in
formally for any information 1t might
have on the Persia which would de-
velop the facts in the case and help
the American government decide how
the liner was destroyed. Consul Gar
rels was instructed to get affidavits
for the same purpose.
!. So far the only actual statement
tending to prove that the, ship was
torpedoed came from one Of the oftic-
ers Of the ship. He said he saw what
he thought was the wake OF a torpedo.
No submarine was seen at any time.
Further dispatches from Ambassa-
dor Penfield are expected at the state
department, probably late today and
at any event tomorrow. Meanwhile
other consular agents along the Medi-
terranean coast are, like Consul. Gar
rels seeking further information. b
The absence Of further definite ad-
vices Is holding the situation so far
as any action by the United States is
concerned at a standstill.
