HUGHES THOROUGHNESs
(From New York Mail)

NIloil -NCW DIX H.
Mr.. Hughes unconsciously revealed
the dominant trait in his character
when he declared in one of his
speeches early in the campaign that
when he was judge he was completely
a judge. and now that he is candidate
he is completely a candidate.
The Hughes trait is thoroughness.
He moves slowly but surely. He
searches for the fact and acts only on
that. He is always on sure ground
No one can drive him into position
he. cannot defend. There is no cam
paign clap-trap about him. When
Mr.. Hughes declared that the head OF
the Geodetic Survey was horse doc
tor he knew what he was talking
about. Secretary of Commerce Red
field, who had appointed the horse
doctor, lasted just one round in the
ring with Mr.. Hughes on this subject.
Hughes knew what lie was talking
ahout; kedIield die; not.
SO it will be found as the campaign
develops, and when Mr.. Hughes be-
gins his work in the White House. He
will always be found standing on the
facts in the case-not on theories and
not on partisan prejudice. He will be
master of the subject, whatever it NAV
be, at the time of decision-ir full
command of every fact and figure.
That was his habit while governor of
Albany and while Justice at Washing
ton. It will be his habit as chef
executive of the nation. He will be
completely a president. That is what
the country needs.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The primary election is over with
the utmost satisfaction to the can
didates who were nominated whatever
the unsuccessful ones may think about
1t and however the people may feel.
The cost to the people of Idaho has
been several thousand dollars. A COM
paratively small percentage of the
voters took the trouble to vote.
We presume that on the whole
fairly good candidates were placed in
nomination. The tickets will average
up about the same as in years gone
by. We do not believe that any one
claims that the candidates this year are
any better than were the candidates
under the old convention system. We
do not believe that any one will claim
that we are today getting better, more
economical, more efficient or even
more representative government than
we got ten years ago. If the direct
primary system has not bettered
conditions of government of what use
is it? That is the question the next
legislature should answer.
We have observed primary election
after primary election in hopes that
sooner or later the system would
Justify itself. The expense is a small
item provided results accrue in some
manner or other. When the results
do not follow it is time that the tax
payers look to the cost. A burden
some, expensive system should not be
retained year after year simply be-
cause somebody has said that that par.
ticular system safeguards the interests
of the taxpayers when experiences
show that the statement is not true.

THE NOMINATION OF HOLT

The Republicans of Idaho nom;-
mated Mr.. B. M. Holt of this civ for
lieutenant governor. In making this
nomination, under the circumstances
the Republicans exercised rare. good
Judgment Mr.. Holt is a man who
VIII add strength to the Republican
state ticket by inspiring confidence
among the people of the state. He
will fill the office with honor to him
self and the state.
Captain L. V. Patch who was a cam
d'date against Mr.. Holt is a very
good man and were it not for the
tact that he is serving In the army
would have had no opposition at the
primary election. The Republicans of
the state were convinced that partisan
friends of Captain Patch were placing
him in an embarrassing position. and
either depriving the country of his
services on the border, or the state Of

forced to make a choice under such
circumstances.
The members of the state militia
and the friends of the state militia
should keep in mind that Mr.. Holt is
friend of the organization. He has
nothing against the militia and will do
anything and everything to promote
its welfare along legitimate lines. The
militia should keep out of politics,
however. Friends, rather than Off
GERS, can do a great deal for the
militia organization, and will be glad
to do so. The friends of the militia
who supported Captain Patch can resi-
assured that the organization has
good and loyal friend in Mr.. Holt.
Neither Captain Patch nor Mr.. Holt
made an active campaign. The matter
was left in the hands of the voters

LOCAL AID FOR ALLIES BLIND

Mr.. ohm c. Rice, president of the
caldwell Commercial Bank, has un-
dertaken humanitarian work which
is exceptionally worthy of common
datlon. AS local sub-treasurer Of the
>. r. b. Permanent Blind Relief War
tund. he is raising substantial sum
in this community to train the many
blinded British, French and Belgian
soldiers in trades not requiring sight
SO that they can support themselves
and their families in spite of their
terrible misfortune.
The blinded soldiers of the Allies
are unusually deserving. Their lives
nave been permanently wrecked in the
defense of their homes, families and
countries. They can be rescued from
their apparently hopeless fate by the
establishment of a practical and busi-
nesslike system of training schools
employment agencies, work shops and
exchanges which will create marker
for blind-made products.
Their own governments, being over
burdened with many more immediate
ana vital problems, cannot either at
present or for years to come establish
such system of institutions as ade-
quately or completely as is desirable
from a humanitarian standpoint
If America will help, almost all the
many unfortunate blinded soldiers vi
the Allies can, within very few years,
be resored to real usefulness and at
least to comparative prosperity and
happiness.
If America, on the other hand.
ignores this noble world-duty, MANY
OF our fellow-h human beings, though
exceptionally deserving of aid, NAV be
condemned to slow and miserable
death of poverty and despair as public
charges upon their communities.
The b. r. B. Permanent Blind Re-
lief War Fund, which is already or
ganized in practically every state and
IN several hundred cities, has been
founded by leading American bankers,
philanthropists and business men
Among its American organizers are
the Hon Elihu Root, Vincent Aston,
August Belmont, the Hon. Lyman J.
Gage, U. S. Senator Thomas P. Gore,
the Hon. Myron T. Herrick, the Hon.

George Alexander Kessler.
Its honorary treasurers are Frank

POOR PAYETTE

Poor Payette traded itself out of its
entire stock in trade. Starting out
with the entire legislature and the
lieutenant governor it wound up with
absolutely nothing. Payette is a poor
trader 1t has the commercial in
stinct but not the ability to acoumu-
late.
Payette should take to heart its
lesson. The next time, if experience
can teach, it will satisfy itself with a
reasonable number of offices. There
is nothing to be gained by trading
with everybody who shows up.

A SELF-INFLICTED BLOW

(From the New York Journal Of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin.)
1t is unfortunate for the administra-
ton at Washington that, at this criti-
cal time, when it is burdened with ex-
ceptional responsibilities of wide sig
nificance, the confidence of the public
in its clear vision and its firm adher-
ence to sound policy should be so
shaken by the attitude assumed by the
president toward an internal menace
by lawless combination of men in the
railway service. He has delivered a
staggering blow to confidence in his
own direction of governmental action.

other party could not be expected in
reason to assent to that, and now it Is

President Is Responsible.
This would amount to a statutory
compulsion of compliance with the one
essential demand of those Threatening
to suspend the railway service of the
country. The other five proposals are
virtually subsidiary to this; but what
ever their merits, apart from CARRYING
support for it, they are too important
and too uncertain in their effect to be
hurried through the processes of en-
actment into law. They need careful
consideration, and the catastrophe to
be averted is threatened for next Mon
day. The brotherhoods and the presi-
dent are putting congress and the peo-
pie of the country in an absurd posi-
ton of craven surrender to an AFRO
giant dictation. Is that to be submitted
to? 1t depends now upon congress.
The president has put it up to that
body, but he cannot escape RESPONSE
bility. Will congress repeat or SUD-
port his blunder? If the proper stand
had been taken at the first we do not
believe there would have been strike.
If it is taken now the strike NAV be
averted or at least made futile for its
object, for we believe the public senti-
ment of the country would rally to the
support of sound policy presented
with unwavering courage. But if the
strike is inevitable, let it come, and
rally the country to the vindication of
the right and the maintenance of pub
lie order and justice. Like other forms
of warfare for the right, the result
may be worth the cost and is greatly
to be preferred to yielding to wrong.

LOCKWOOD MILLS
EMPLOYEES TO GET
WAGE ADVANCE

Notices were posted Tuesday in the
Lockwood mills that there would be a
raise in the pay of the operatives
commencing Monday. Jan Il. 1916, No
amount was stated in the notice and
Agent Atwood when asked regarding
the matter said that there had been
no general adjustment of the wages
Of the employees in the mills for a long
time and that at this time this would
be done the rate of raise would be
different in different cases and there
would be a careful adjustment Of
all wages. so that some would receive
more than others, in the percentage
raise. In general the amount would
be practically the same as was grant
ed by the cotton mills of Massachu-
sets. This will affect about 100 en-
ployes of the mills and coming as ii
does on top of the announcement of
raise in pay for the wooden mill OPP
eratives makes welcome news to the
people of the city. although it was
not unexpected after the announce
nlents Of raises in the Massachusetts
mills. The Lockwood Co. is one of the
companies to which the city looks for
good share of its business prosperity
and the increased pay there will have
an immediate reflection in the business
of the whole city.

Potash from Utah.
New York Times.)

The production of potash, which has
been previously supplied to the world
almost exclusively by Germany, has
been begun on Il large scale by the
Mineral Products Corporation, which
is erecting an enlarged plant at
Marysvale. Utah. 1t was recently an
nounced by the department of the in
terror that the alunite beds found in
this region might in time furnish a
large part of the supply of the United
States. which now amounts to many
hundred thousand tons year.
Potash is used chiefly for fertilizer.
One advantage with Germany is that
its potash beds are near rivers and it
can be carried down by barges to
ocean harbors and shipped to all parts
of the world with low cost for trans
portation. The mines dear Marysvale,
Utah, are not favorably situated for
transportation, but will he able, after
the war as we'll as now, to meet Ger
man competition in the<west. and mid
die west. according to Howard F.
Chappell, president of the Mineral
Products Corporation.
The alunite ore is practically as rich
in aluminium as in potash. and the
Mineral Products Corporation will re-
Guce both from its ore beds at Marys-
vale. Mr.. Chapel said yesterday that
the plant which the corporation is in
Sailing will enable it to turn out daily
between sixty and seventy tons of
potash of high grade and about fifty
tons of aluminium. Potash was sold
at prices varying from $25 to $35 a
ton before the war, and now varies
from $3.50 a ton to $425, according to
its quauity. Aluminium has gone up
from about $500 a ton before the war
to $1,000 ton now.
The reduction of aluminium and
potash on a commercial scale from
alunite was made possible by dis
covery by Mr.. Chappell that alunite,
under Il high temperature, could be
separated into it's constituent parts.
Mr.. Chappell said that there was no
Washington that this country might
soon be independent of Germany, as
far as the supply Of potash is con-
cerned. The imports Of potash salts
from Germany into this country
amounted to $15,00O,0 900 in 1913.
THE output of our mine." he said,
will supply only very small portion
of this demand. The alunite ore OF
nigh quality which has been located
so far is sufficient to furnish only
small fraction of the demand Of this
country. In all probability We will
have to continue indefinitely to rely
on Germany for the bulk Of our sup
ply of potash. A great deal Of the
alunite ore has been found in this
country. but most Of it is Of poor
grade that could not be worked COM
nlercially.
The tariff question will not affect
the Mineral Products Company. Even
if the aluminium by-product were not
present we would be able to produce
potash cheaper than it could be pro-
duced in Germany. and ship it to
points in the interior Of the country
at a lower rate of transportation
