of Iowa. Mr.. Walters has been resi-
dent of Idaho for about 10 years, and
has always been a strong factor in the
upbuilding of his home town and coun-
ty. Nearly a year ago he was APP
pointed member of the state board OF
education, and since that appointment
he has been an interchangeable worker
for the upbuilding of our splendid
school system.
He has made a special study OF ir-
rigation law and the problems pecul-
lar to the industry of irrigation. and Is
himself the owner of n large body of
irrigated lands In the southwestern
part of the state. His large irrigation
law practice is indicative of the APP
probation in which he is held by his
irrigation clients.
Walters should be elected attorney
general because he is eminently quail
fled to fill the position, and because
he is thoroughly familiar with the
problems confronting the settlers of
the various irrigation projects of the
state 1t seems to me that the settlers
of these irrigation projects would wake
up to the fact that it's about time that
man was elected attorney general
who would at least give them re-
spectful hearing"

Session of Society for
Study and Prevention of
Infant Mortality.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 19.-"F'orty per
cent of the infant mortality and some
maternal mortility are due to made
Quate medical care at time of con-
finement," said DR.. Arthur B. Emmons
of Boston, at the opening session of
the seventh annual meeting of the
American Association for study and
Prevention of Infant Mortality at Mil
waukee today. To the same cause, he
attributed many still births and much
reduced infant and maternal vitality,
more than half of which he declared
to be preventable.
In order to obtain effectiveness and
completeness he said. II suggest the
notification of pregnancies to the To-
cal health authority. These notifica-
lions should be treated confidentially
and might be at first voluntary, but
later should be required. This would
furnish the necessary information to
the health authorities, who should be
required to determine that proper pre-
natal and safe obstrctric care is as
sured 70 each prospective mother"
He said that the transactions pub
lished by the association are the best

fare improvement, including as they do.

as follows:
CAUSES OF TROUBLE.
1.-Insufficient teaching of obstet-
rcs in the medical schools.
GA low standard of obstetric
practice generally and rarely any pre-
natal work.
"S-Long hours and poor pay. It pays
the doctor more money today to repair
the results of bad obstetrics than to
prevent such results.
"4-The midwife laws vary from I'M
restricted license. simple registration,
education and supervision by police con-
troll to non recognition like any other
unqualified person, us in Massachu-
sets.
"5-Each community presents differ
ent problems and must solve its own
accordingly.
''6-The public and many physicians
still consider childbirth a simple, nor
NAL process, and therefore unknow-
ingly take grave risks which life in
surance companies will not take.
1.-THE medical profession, which
might successfully lead to a rapid So
luton of the difficulties. is as yet
ununited in any constructive effort to
improve the situation"

J. Ii. Peterson, the present incumbent
two years ago. In giving reasons for
the support of Mr. Walters, Anderson
said:
1T is seldom that an opportunity Is
given the voters of the state to have
up for their consideration as worthy
candidate, and one as we'll fitted,
for attorney general, as they have
this fall in the person of T. A. Wal
ters. The high esteem that Mr.. Wal
ters is held in. generally. over the
state is best shown by the splendid
vote he received two years ago. when
he came within u few votes of being
elected attorney general over the pres
ent incumbent. In Canyon county,
where he is best known, he rolled up a
handsome ma jority two years ago. and
this year he will come out of the
county with a much larger majority
than he did then.
Walters is self-made man In
every sense What he is today he did
not get because of pull or stand-in'
or money or rich relatives. Nothing
like that for him. Hard work has
been. his lot from his early boyhood
days. He was born nearly 80 years
ago in a log house in Clayton county
Ia. The poverty of his parents pre-
cluded him from getting any aid from
them for the education that he so ear
/ nestly desired. but like other self made
men who have gone over the same
rocky road, poverty did not dishearten
him. After many struggles and pri-
vations he succeeded in getting 9
common school education. He tner
taught school and earned enough
money to enable him to secure a col
iege education. He is a graduate oi

Maryland has reason be proud of
The two artists, Charles and Rembrant
Peale. The former was born at Ches-
ter town, Md, in 1741. Like Robert
Fulton, he was both artist and inven-
tor. Charles Peale started life as a
saddler. then silversmith, matchmaker.
and carver. He went to Boston and
studied under the celebrated Copley,
and later in London under Benjamin
West Then came the honor OF paint
ing the first portrait of Washington as
Virginia colonel in 1872. During the
revolution he commanded n company
at the battles of Trenton and Ger
mantown and was n member of the
Pennsylvania convention in 1777. He.
! however, rendered a greater service to
posterity by painting the portraits OF
the leading officers of the revolution,
and was one of the promoters of the
Academy of Fine Arts in Philadel-
phia. This most versatile man, be-
sides inventing a great variety of ma
chimes. was the first American manu-
facturer OF enamel teeth. He died in
Philadelphia in 1927. but his art lived
in the person of his famous son, Rem
brandt 2eale.

M'COMBS' RESIGNATION

The resignation of Chairman Nc
Combs of the democratic national
committee, just in advance of the
meeting of the national convention,
while in itself not a thing of tremen-
dous import, is indicative of the lack
of harmony in the Wilson household.
Four years ago McCombs led the
pre-convention fight for the nomin-
alton of Woodrow Wilson. After the
nomination at Baltimore, he was sell
ected as chairman Of the democratic
national committee by the common
consent of all factions.
His management of the national
campaign was commended by friend
and foe alike and at it's close every
one expected that he would have been
invited to place at the presidents
council board, as a member of his
cabinet.
For some reason or other the in
vitation was not extended but in lieu
thereof he was offered the ambassa-
dorship to France. AS McCombs was
poor man, the offer meant nothing
as it was not possible for him to &C.
cept it. The rumors then were that
Me- Combs felt hurt at the attitude Of
Wilson and the latter's enemies i'm
mediately raised cry of ingratitude
Whatever may have been the trutl
of the matter, from that time on tn
breach widened between the presiden
and his former friend. For severa
months past the rumor has been cur
rent that McCombs would probabl,
resign as chairman. His recent &C
ton is not surprising to those famil
lar with current politics.-Missouliar

surance charges, food prices are 60
ing up in Great Britain and France.
The submarine contributes, there
fore, to the general pinch Of the war,
and Germany will not give it up at a,
polite word from Washington. It has
suffered already about all the adium
that could attach from its ruthless
methods if warfare, and has nothing
further to gain or lose in that particu-
lar.
Berlin will weight the case with care
full thought. 1t is cogitating on the
puzzling question, "How far will Will
son and Congress go?" 1t is doubt
full if mere break in diplomatic re-
lations would gain our end. Some
thing severer, or at least the fear that
something severer is on the way, will
lie needed to compel obedience to in
ternational law.
That something severer need not be
force of arms. 1t is scarcely conceiv-
want the United States to send an
army to the front. We haven't the
trained troops to send, and hastily ga
thered forces would be but in the
way and give an element of weakness
rather than of strength.
If the case should come to enemy
relations, the United States coule
make it's power felt in an economic
and financial way. It could stop the
flow of merchandise into Germany
through neutral ports. 1t could pu'
its credit back of that of Great Brit
ain, Russia, and France. Without fir
ing a gun it could make certain Ger
many's defeat.
German statesmen know all that
and very likely more, for they know
their economic and financial weakness
better than it is known in the Unite
States. If they know that the Unite
