BARKER IN BONNER.
(Bonners Ferry Herald)

George Barker needs no defense in
northern Idaho from the mugwumps in
the republican party who have, for
personal reasons, sought to bring
candidate into the field against his
denomination for secretary of state.
His integrity was established by
dozen years residence in Bonner
county where his paper was known
throughout the state as a stalwart re-
publican organ. He fought fairly and
loyalty for the republican cause in the
state and, IL any man earned recogni-
ton from his party, he did. He paid
his debts, built up fine newspaper
property and with the paper well on
it's feet met the democratic slump of
hard times.
Earning a respite from the arduous
duties of country editor he asked his
party for the recognition due him, re-
ceived 1t and was duly proud of it, He
has been secretary of state in his own
name and has gone about his duties
in that high office fearlessly and in
diligently. It Is the unwritten law of
his party that faithful performance of
duty shall be recognized with second
term. Some political enemies, COM
prising men who were loosened from
the public crib after years Of recogni-
foY txyhn faf tn
milton they thought their due, other
men who sought special privilege at
the hands of the land board and did
not receive 1t, have sought Mr. Bar
ker's defeat at this time. But the
great majority comprising the intelli-
gent vote of the republican party in
this state long ago recognized Mr..
Barker's worth to the state, that he
has administered the affairs of his Of
flee with its increasing business with
out additional cost to the taxpayer and
has stood for clean politics and a high
conception of his duty as member of
the important administrative boards.
This vote has asserted itself in the
formulative period of the primary and
1t is with pleasure that we see that
the opposition of Ned Jenness, former
register of the land department, Jim
mic" Stotts, former employee of the
public utilities commission and disap-
pointed office seeker, and the Capital
News, whose political vagaries Barker
has failed to subscribe to, dwindling
to the original Jim Hill mustard seed
from which 1t sprang.

WHY 1T IS PARAMOUNT.

The Philadelphia Press quotes a
well known Norwegian merchant who
has spent twenty years in Germany as
say that in that country there is now
stored one and one-half billion dollars
worth of cheap merchandise, mostly
produced by women. ready to be sold
to the world as soon as peace is de-
clared. 1t is this condition that con-
fronts our own country. Unless full
ly protective tariff should in the
meantime be restored, this billion and
a half of cheap merchandise will be
dumped on world markets, most Of 1t
on the American market. More women
than ever before are now employed in
industrial production in Europe and
more yet will have to be so employed
after the war ends. There never was
a time when protective tariff was
more needed than now. The tariff is
the paramount issue 1t overshadows
all other issues.

Mr.. HUGHES STRATEGY.
(New York SUM

We think that second reading of
Mr.. Hughes remarks at Carnegie hall
will disclose to intelligence something
more than statement of the candi-
dates opinions or an arraignment of
the infirmities of the Wilson admins
tration.
This is not merely a speech of ac-
ceptance, 1t is plan of campaign. Mr..
Hughes has chosen his own ground.
He has confined his attention to GER
tain carefully selected and well con-
sidered objects of attack. He has
bound these together in clearly con-
ceived scheme of campaign operations
which put the president on the de-
fensive; and, certainly, this is super
Tor generalship.
Mr.. Wilson can not evade the issues
made by Mr.. Hughes without surren-
der He can not direct the discussion
to other themes, for that will not be
permitted. He can not join issue with
Mr.. Hughes on the questions of Mr.
Hughes choosing without involving
himself deeper and deeper in contro-
versial disaster; for Mr. Hughes sell
ected positions are impregnable and
his arguments not successfully to be
answered.
That is to say, the republican cam
paign is to be conducted aggressively
under the leadership of campaigner
of no ordinary ability, on a plan we'll
thought out in advance and prosecut-
ed with skill as well as energy.
Viewed in this aspect, the speech of
Monday night presents features of
interest to students of
political strategy.

HE GETS TO EN-.

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor" So
ran the old nursery rhyme. And so
Hughes is running through the coun-
try. 1t apparently makes no differ
ence whether his audience is made up
of highly specialized mechanics, such
as he found at the great automobile
factories of Detroit; whether it is a
huge crowd collected from the eosmo-
politan population of Chicago, as his
hearers were at the Coliseum; whether
they are the farmers whom he met in
the great agricultural states of the
northwest; whether they are women
endowed with the franchise and seek
ing to grant the same privilege to their
sisters; or whether they are profess
sional men, or political managers or
any other of the groups whom he has
met since he began his speechmaking
tour. He gets to them all.
Mr.. Hughes is showing a varied
and highly sympathetic personality as
he goes about the country. He Is
forceful without being didactic. He is
sincere without being fanatical He is
thoughtful without being dull. He has
real message for every class of the
people and he never speaks as to
class. He is addressing himself to
the great American people, of what
ever condition or calling they may
be, and his words, reinforced by his
manner, are reaching the intelligence
of the electorate. The people are re-
acting to Hughes as they have react
ed to no public speaker in recent
years save only Roosevelt.
Hughes is getting to the people. And
in consequence the people are growing
more eager for the day to come when
they can get at Wilson.

MOVING PICTURES AND CRIME.
New York Herald)

NNSW 1OTk f1erdIu)
Truth is stranger than fiction There
Is nothing new In real life. Henceforth,
1t may be said that there Is nothing
new In the moving picture films. Mrs.
Mary Roberts Rhinehart, in one of the
adventures of "Tish" describes care
fully schemed holdup of tourist par
ty in the Rocky Mountains for a NOV
ing picture which developed into a
holdup by real bandits, who were af-
terward captured by three resolute
women with one genuine revolver and
two wooden ones.
Recently in Los Angeles wealthy
man taking holiday granted a bogus
moving picture concern permission to
use his residence as a stage setting for
drama They did. When the mil
lionaire returned he found every port
able thing valuable In the place had
disappeared with the moving picture
actors.
But on Friday in Detroit the widest
and most extravagant films of the
moving picture industry were outdone.
In the heart of the city five unmasked
men, armed with rifles and pistols,
held up an automobile which contain
ed $4,000 in cash and accomplished
their object, while five hundred persons
looked on, believing that moving pic
ture film was being staged. The only
man who had any doubts about It was
special policeman, who interfered
and was shot through the hip.

THE PROGRESSIVE REMNANT.
(Goodwin's Weekly

The effect of the progressive move
ment four years ago was to elect Pres
ident Wilson, which showed what was
plain enough to see beforehand, that
the party was made up mostly of men
who had been republicans. 1t Is just
as easy this year to see that those
who are hanging out and insisting that
principles are to be preserved and men
are of secondary consideration, are
the few who had been democrats un-
til they affiliated with the progressives
and have the same object in view that
they had four years ago-the election
Of Mr. Wilson.
There is not one in the whole batch
who could write new platform and
have one plank in it that would he an
appeal to any sensible voter to throw
away his vote by voting for it.
1t is safe wager that nine enths
Of those who are clamoring to have
their principles preserved are old time
democrats and expect to vote Cor Mr..
Wilson in November.

CHANGE PARTY EMBLEM.
Duluth News Tribune)

The progressives would like to have
the eagle as their party trademark in
stead Of bull moose. Being the bull
moose party with the bull moose in
fact left out, is evidently getting on
their nerves. The bull moose was not
used as typical of them, but Of Colonel
Roosevelt and they feel their present
happiness to the emblem.
But it happens that no party has
chosen its own party emblem. Thomas
Mast, the cartoonist, is credited with
the republican elephant
and the democratic donkey. The pro-
did not themselves select
the camel, nor the populists the COW.
II the progressive trademark is
changed 1t will not be by them, but by
some clever cartoonist who win spring
on them the never more" raven or
some other species Of the buzzard
family and make 1t stick.

that is adequately and Intentionally
protective. That Is the greatest thing
to keep In mind when the campaign
orators turn loose and when the voters
go to the polls next November.
Would 1t not have been we'll II Mr..
Hughes, In his speech of acceptance,
had said: III elected ] shall call con-
gress into extra session at the first
practical moment following March 4,
1917, to enact a protective tariff law
that will defend our country against
Industrial invasion?"

CHAMP CLARK AND THE TARIFF
(sprIngheld, Ill. JournaD

NSP hbiSiui Ia, JOuFnal)
Speaker Champ Clark, who might
now be President Clark If Bryan had
not disobeyed the instructions given
him by the democrats of Nebraska,
made great concession to republican
tariff policies in his speech in the
house on July 10. Among other things
he said; II could take this tariff sched-
ule and so arrange 1t that the Ameri-
can people win not have to pay any
more than they are paying and at the
same time the government would re-
ceive twice as much as 1t is getting
now"
II the American people pay no more
but the government gets twice as
much, who pays the increase Repub-
licans always have contended that the
foreigner paid it and they were right.
That this was true was demonstrated
In 1918 when the democrats reduced
the duties, but did not reduce the cost
of living. II the removal OF the duty
did not reduce the cost of living, then
no burden was lifted from the Ameri-
can citizen. The tax was taken off
the foreigner. not Off the American.
1t is absolutely true that the rev.
enue from the tariff can be greatly in
creased without making American cit
liens pay cent more, but the Wilson
administration prefers to levy all sorts
of taxes which the American citizen
can not possibly avoid But in due
time a republican administration viii
change the schedules as Champ Clark
says they can be changed.

LORD NORTHCLIFFE

Although he uses pen instead of a sword, Lord Northcliffe. through his control of London's greatest and most widely circulated newspapers. has ex- ercised a tremendous influence over the British conduct of the war. Sir Alfred Charles William Harmsworth, first Baron Northcliffe of the Isle of Thanet, will pass his fifty-hrst mileA stone to-day, having been born in County Dublin, Ireland, on July 15, 1865. His success as a newspaper publisher, eliminating, with his pur- chase of the London Times, has been without precedent in the history of British Journalism. Since the begin ming of the war he has been a persist ent critic of the government Through his newspapers, the Times, the Daily Mail and the Evening News, Lord Northcliffe early in the war carried on a campaign for ths appointment of Lord Kitchener as the head of the War Office. This demand met with popular approval and Kitchener was appointed. It was not long, however, until the Northcliffe paers began to manifest ,symtoms of dissatisfa with the Kitchener regime. developing later into bitter onslaught on the late leader. This campaign. although somewhat modified in the latter months, was carried on up to the time of Earl Kitchener's tragic death, when the Northcliffe papers devoted much space to praise of the dead hero. Whether for i'll or for good-on which point there is violent difference of opinion among Englishmen-the cele brated journalist is still power to be
 reckoned with by those in charge of Britain's destinies.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS

The monthly meeting of the execu- live board of the Connecticut wo- man Suffrage Association will be held next week at Fenwick, instead of at headquarters in Hartford. For several years the July and August meetings of the board have been ct Fenwick, as, it Is easier for the mem- bers to assemble there than in Hart ford. Mrs. T. N. Hepburn, the presi- deut, has her summer cottage there and so has Mrs. George H. Day. Mrs. M. Toscan Bennett, the treasurer, is spending the whole of July there, and Mrs. Carlos F. lStoddard has her summer home in Madison which is within easy reach. Miss Katharine Ludington's home is at Lyme, and Miss Danielson of Putnam can reach Berwick just as easily as she Ian reach Hartford.
 There will be more work to come before the board this year than is usual in July. In every county there is extraordinary activity in organiz- ing. It Is the purpose of the associa- tion to have the whole state covered by a net work or organization before the election in November. The county work is under the charge of each county chairman, but all the members of the board cooperate. and and the plans that are drawn up are the work of the board. v
 One piece of work at the present time is the forming of contingents from every town in the state to march in the suffrage parades which will be . feature of the Republican and the Democratic1 state conventions in September. Politicians and party leaders will be forcibly reminded that their parties have endorsed the prin- cfple of woman suffrage-that the z 'Repnblican party has recognized the ljusticea of extending the vote to the other half of the adult population of the country, and that the Democratic party has recommended to each state that it grant suffrage to women. The state legislature to be elected in No vember will have an opportunity - show whether the platform means anything. The Republicans pledge themselves vabove all to keep faith, z and this pledge is being taken seri- onsly by the women. Woman suffrage sis now too big an issue to be dodged, and any effort to dodge it only arouses the wrath of the men and women who are convinced that jus- tice can never be done to women un- tiI they are admitted into our democ- racy and allowed the privilege of self goyernment. Recent events which have shown the unpreparedn4ss of the cpuntry-not only in the matter qf guns and the number of soldiers in fhe ranks but also as regards the humane care of our troops, have con vinced women that they must con tribute their help in government. True preparedness to them includes . right to share the responsibilities of government as we'll as its protection.
