- CARRANZA PLAYING SHREWD POLITICS

 And yet there comes occasionally n cynical suggestion that the President Is playing one of the smoothest games in the history of American diplomacy It Is whispered that he is anxiously awaiting that moment when the Unj- ted States will be prepared-when the regular army is as strong as it pos- sfbly can be. when the National Guard Is under arms on the Rio Grande and American vessels are in Mexican wa ters ready at moments notice to "iockade every port through which food and munitions could be delivered
 IT that is the plan of the President no one could justly criticize his pol Icy, 1t Is pointed out For with the united States actually prepared to strike. the Mexican war" would be 1it- tie more tha ma murderous snarl-as snort as sudden and as terrible as the explosion of hidden mine.
 THE POLITICAL FEATURE
 The Joy of the President in that war has for the moment been averted is equalled solely by the joy of the re- united republican politicians.
 It was the general admission that if the United States, through the treachery of Mexicans, became involved in war. the people would not retire the Presi- dent for any consideration.
 With war averted, the republicans Will be able again to proclaim their oft-repeated contention that the Mex ican policy of MT. Wilson is and has been weak, vaciliating and timfd almost to the point of cowardice.
 On the other hand. the President will De able to retort that for the sake of political preferment, he would not plunge his people into war-that which behind curtain of romance hides it's lust for blood. its sheeted dead, and it's yawning graves.

THE FRUITLEss EFFORTS

The republicans will be able cynical ly to point to the fruitless efforts of the Wilson administration by repeatedly changing fronts to restore peace by parleying with bandits-the ridiculous attempts, in the language of Joe Can non, to serve syrup to brigands"
 They will declare that war is inevi- table and that when war was once un- der way--with the attack against Vera Cruz-war should have been continued to the ultimate and logical conclusion.
 They will laughingly point to the recognition of Villa, who later "shot up Columbus; to the unfulflled de- mand that Huerta Salute the flag" to the recognition of Carranza. who later played the nation false and set the trap, 1t is believed, at Carriza1 to the supplying by permission of the adminis- tratlon of arms and ammunition to the de facto government with which death has been meted out to American sol diers.
 POLICY THE ISSUE
 In the campaign, the tariff will not be the issue-for apparently both the democrats and republicans are afraid of the tariff; the achievements of the administration will not be the issue for even the republicans are forced to admit the achievements were notable.
 The issue will be the foreign and Mexican policy of the administration. Were Roosevelt the republican nominee the issue would be "Americanism." It will still be "Americanism" although Hughes Is handicapped by the pro- German support which has been hurled at his unwilling head.
 And the democrats will welcome the battle on the above issue.
 "We have given you peace and pros- perfty. What more do you want."
 And the democratic question will be anSWered-hOW?

SMUT CAUSES
HEAVY LOSSES
Great Menace To The Wheat
Growers

Smut in the wheat has cost the
farmers of central Idaho and east
ern Washington at least five per
cent in price and from 10 to Is per
cent in yield, is the estimate made
by E. W. Eaves, of the Vollmer-
Clearwater company. Mr.. Eaves
regards smut as the greatest men,
ace to wheat growing in the entire
inland empire region and stated
that the farmers must resort to
practical methods to protect their
crops.
Mr.. Eaves stated that all locali-
ties that can grow corn, beans and
peas can easily escape the smut by
planting these crops on the summer
fallow land and following the next
spring with Marquis wheat. Spring.
sown Marquis is immune from
smut and the experience Of the
farmers this season is that Marquis
returns better yield and demands
higher market price than any
other variety.
In the higher sections where corn,
beans and peas cannot be grown,
Mr.. Eaves recommends the seeding
of the Karkhoff turkey wheat. He
stated this variety will return a
yield of five to ten bushels more
than the ordinary turkey and will
demand as high a price in the mar
kets.
Perhaps no person in the west in
terested in grain has given more at
tention to grain growing and the
problems the farmers must encount-
er than Mr.. Eaves. His study has
extended to every wheat-growing
country and it has been his prac-
tice to follow closely all investiga-
tions and experiments made regard
ing grain pests. He has made his
recommendation for eliminating
smut in the wheat of the north
Idaho and eastern Washington reg
ion after careful Investigations and
feels all sections can eliminate the
smut, that is reported more damag-
ing to crops this season than ever
before. re.-Tribune.

J. Hamley at Pendleton

The editor on his way home from
Twin Falls last week stopped at
Pendleton and spent a short time
with John Hamley. Mr.. Hamley
owned a harness shop in Kendrick
about eleven years ago which was
destroyed by the big fire. He
moved to Pendleton and established
a harness and saddle shop there
where he now employs about a doz-
en- men. He has the reputation of
turning out the best saddles made
in the United States and he has a
hard time supplying the demand.
The prize saddle for the Pendleton
Roundup was on exhibition in his
shop. He was just giving it the
finishing touches and it was certain
ly a beauty. 1t has heavy silver
mountings and is made of hand
carved leather of the most exquisite
workmanship. Mr.. Hamley sup.
plies prize saddles all over the
United States and his business is
growing larger every year.

CENTRAL COMMITTEES
NET At BOISE
Democrats And Republicans
Choose Officers

DR.. w. R. Hamilton of Weiser
was elected chairman of the Idaho
democratic central committee at a
meeting held at Boise September
10. The meeting was dominated
by the anti-Elder men.
The Elder faction supported j. T.
Pence of Boise for chairman to sue
ceed himself. Pence held the
proxies of committeeman from
nine counties. These were thrown
out when the anti-Elder men
gained control of the temporary or
ganization and named the creden-
tials committee, giving them nine
votes in the ballot on the report of
the credentials committee to eight
held by the Elder forces.
D. L. Evans of Malad; Harry L.
Day of Wallace; c. C. Anderson of
Boise and John E. Pincock of Sugar
City were elected presidential
electors.
At meeting Of the republican
state central committee held at
Boise September 10, Evan Evans OF
Granpevi1le was elacted chairman
without fight.
w. C. Gregory, D. w. Davis
campaign manager, was chosen Sec
retary of the central committee, tc
succeed c. E. Elmer, who was
named publicity secretary and ad.
vance man for the speakers.
S. L. Hodgin of Boise was re-
elected vice chairman of the com.
mittee.
Twenty-nine counties were repre-.
sented at the meeting. There were
no contests for presidential electors

National Pay-Up Week

The business men of Kendrick
have decided to take advantage of
the opportunity offered by the in
auguration of National Pay-up
Week, October to 7 inclusive.
Merchants associations, CONNER
cial clubs, chambers of commerce in
all parts of the country are put
ting on Pay-up Week campaigns.
1t has been the general idea that a
campaign of this kind was intended
for only the larger towns and cities,
but this idea is erroneous. Towns
the size of Kendrick have success
fully carried out the plans adopted
by some of the trade journals and
have derived great benefit fnom the
small amount of labor and cost that
are required to carry on such a
campaign.
Kendrick will start in small
way this fall and if the plans are
successfully carried out, it is the
intention to make this national
movement a permanent institution
here. This is September and rather
late to get the matter properly
started but if the merchants and
others interested will talk the
matter up for the next few days
there is no good reason why it car
not he carried out successfully.

Kendrick Fair Next Week
Livestock Parade And Stock Judging Will Be Big
Feature of The Fair

No industry in the Potlatch coun-
try offers the possibilities that the
live stock industry does. The Kend-
rick Fair committee realizes this,
and for that reason they are ex-
tremely anxious to have the best
exhibit of live stock ever assembled
in Kendrick. A number of breed
ers have signified their intention of
bringing in their stock and the
committee invites every one who
has something good to bring it in.
The value of the premium is a very
small consideration compared with
the value of the exhibit to the COM
munity, as we'll as to the exhibitor.
Nothing tends to create more in
terest than friendly competition be-
tween producers, besides, seeing a
good exhibit of live stock, creates
a desire in the man who breeds
poor stock, to have something
better. To those who are raising
breeding stock for sale the Kend-
rick Fair offers an excellent oppor-
tunity to advertise the same in the
best possible manner.

minutes after leaving Moscow.

AUTOMOBILE ROLLS
OVER THE GRADE
Henry Emmett Injured Car
Totally Destroyed

Henry Emmett of Little Bear
ridge had very serious accident
last Sunday while driving his new
~ kKnight car, which he pur-
chased about two weeks ago. He
was driving up the Pine Creek
grade leading on to Bear ridge and
attempted to change gears from in
termediate to low. Instead of
changing to low he threw the en-
gine into neutral and the car be-
gan to back down the grade.
Either the emergency brake or foot
brake would have held the car but
Mr.. Emmett was not accustomed to
driving and forgot to put on the
brake.
The car ran off the grade and as
it turned over the wind shield
caught on tree causing the car
to turn around. At this time it
is thought the occupants of the car,
consisting of Mr.. Emmett and
seven children, were thrown out.
The car then rolled over hundred
feet, down an almost perpendicular
embankment, lodging between two
narrow lodges of rock. The gas
oline tank was punctured and i'm
mediately caught fire entirely con-
summing all of the infammable
parts of the car, with the exception
of one of the tires which Mr.. L. R.
Waite, who was nearby when the
accident occurred, managed to save
and the cushions which were thrown
out. The car is total wreck.
Mr.. Emmett had his jaw fractur-
ed at the point of the chin and suf.
fered fracture of his right arm,
also deep laceration near the
elbow. He was taken to the hos.
pital at Lewiston by DR.. Hoyt, and
the broken bones were set and held
in place by means of silver plates.
The last reports are to the effect
that he is getting along nicely.
A remarkable fact in connection
with the accident is that none OF
the children were hurt. The fact
that they escaped injury is proba.
bly, due to the wind shield catching
on the tree. This swung the cal
around, throwing the occupants
out on the upper side. There was
no insurance on the car and all but
few parts of it will be left where
it fell.

POULTRY SHOW

The poultry department of the
Kendrick Fair has increased in both
the amount and quality of the ex-
hit it's each year and this year prom
ises to excel by far any previous ex-
hibit. When we realize that the
poultry products of the United
States amount to more in dollars
and cents than the wheat crop, it
is easy to find the reason for this
departments growth. If you are
raising pure breed poultry bring
in an exhibit and you will find that
it will be a good investment in
time.
