NO HYPHEN IN ARMY OF THE
OMITTED STATES.

Actuated no doubt by a patriotic
purpose, a German citizen of New
York wrote to Mayor Mitchell sug-
costing raising a regiment composed
exclusively of American citizens born
IN Germany, stating that there were
large number of such citizens who
had expressed a desire to join such a
regiment for service in Mexico. The
idea did not appeal to Mayor Nit
chell, and he promptly replied to the
letter giving the writer some whole
some advice as to how he and other
German born citizens could show
their undiluted loyalty to the country
of their adoption. He said:
While commend your interest, I
am of the opinion that it would be
hurtfui to draw racial lines in Ameri-
can military affairs. think that
what We ought to do is to emphasize
the Importance of drawing together all
Of the nationalties into an army
which is simply American. 1 would
therefore deprecate the formation of
regiment composed wholly of men
or any one nationality, whether thew
be German, French, Italian or Rus
sian, as this might tend to draw the
very racial lines which believe
should be avoided. l suggest that Won
urge your men to join the regular or
of the national guard or
such other organizations as NAV he
recruited by the federal authorities
Mayor Mitchell is right The Unit
I'd States army is the one place above
Ill others where there should be no
'acial distinction. It has been only a
ew months since we were on the
'erge or war with Germany, but it is
lot recalled that there was any dis
position manifested at that time {
mong German born citizens to raise /
egiments in defense of American
lights. The United States army is d,
made up of American soldiers, with 9
ne allegiance and following one flag. Il
We do not question the sincerity of /
he motive that prompted the German
orn citizen who offered to raise a Il.
egiment among his countrymen, but 1,
ne letter from Mayor Mitchell makes t
clear that the effect of his plan +,
'ould probably have been the oppo- .
lite of what he intended. "

POLITICS IN NATIONAL GUARD
caldwell Tribune)

caldwell Tribune)
1t was probably too much to ex-
pect that Governor Alexander would
lay aside his politics in the organi-
zaton of the national guard The
people did expect it and they are
keenly disappointed that the governor
did not arise above his selfish political
ambition. In such a time, a man in
such a position, should arise to the
dignity of his office. And by so doing
he would have played the best, the
Wisest and the noblest politics.
But, let this suffice, you cannot make
silk purse out of pigs ear.
The great trouble with this country
today is that little men are trying to
fill big positions. Ward healers are
trying to perform the functions of
politicians. There is nothing wrong
with politics but there is something
decidedly wrong with the so-called
politicians. The best politics is the
highest patriotism, always was and
always will be- 1t passes all under
standing that SO many men of fair
intelligence and average honesty in
the ordinary affairs of life cannot let
that idea take Judgment in their minds.
The honest, conscientious perform
ance of the duties of office is the
straightest road and easiest road to
popularity, confidence, respect and
favor. Instead of taking this straight
and easy road we find Governor Alex
ander meandering up the hill, down
dale and through chasm in his efforts
to land commissions for deserving
democrats" of the Alexander persua-
sion.
1t may be that no great harm will
be done. We rather suspect that the
governor will be unable to accomplish
much harm. The impotent selfishness
and base purpose displayed by the
governor are worthy of noting, as
they mark the measure of the man.
Politics of the Alexander kind is and
has been the bane of the state militia.
1t has brought the organization into
disrepute in times past. 1t promises
to do the same again. Politics of this
kind is nothing less than grating in
rigue very thinly yelled

The most striking illustration Of
the reunion of the republican party
brought about by the nomination of
Justice Hughes will be the presence
of Taft and Roosevelt on the stage
with the nominee When he is officially
notified of his nomination When one
recalls the breach that divided them,
it is plain that they regard the coun-
try facing a crisis that can only be
successfully met by the election of a
republican president, and that in the
presence of which all former political
differences are Of minor Importance
and must be brushed aside.

The great offensive movement
against Germany so far as the British
army is concerned is the outcome of
plans carefully worked out by Kitch-
ener At this time the drive promises
to crush the central powers and end
the war with complete victory for the
allies. But, whatever the outcome, the
work of the last few weeks has
brought more credit to British arms
than has hitherto been earned, and 1t
is one of the sad features of the great
conflict that Kitchener Is not alive to
share the glory following the execu-
ton of plans formulated by his gen
ius,

THE PRESIDENT AS A HUMoRisT.
New York Sum-

Long before he was elected presi-
dent DR.. Woodrow Wilson had gained
an enyiable reputation as a humorist.
Ills public utterances since he enter
ed the white house have been neces-
sarily devoid of anything avowedly
intended to be funny. The dignity of
his office had to be preserved, and
neither his position nor the dark times
in which he has represented the nation
were conductive to that flow of bub-
bling jollity of which he is capable.
Nevertheless. on Friday evening he
made a remark to the newspaper men
of this city that will take rank as
perhaps his highest achievement as a
thoroughgoing. all round American
humorst.
1T goes without saying" remarked
the president, that it is the duty of
the administration to have constantly
in mind with the utmost sensitiveness
every point of national honor"
We do not claim, of course. that
there is anything essentially funny in
this sentence. 1t Is, In fact, somewhat
platitudinous. Uttered by John Smith
or Thomas Jones 1t would not attract
any attention, or cause the slightest
ripple Of laughter. The humor of the
thing Is to be found wholly In the fact
that the words above quoted were
uttered by Woodrow Wilson.
The sensitiveness of this admins
tration to our national honor has be-
come a joke-or tragedy-because
t ought to exist and doesn't. Our
lag has been repeatedly insulted upon
he high seas during the past two
ears, and the fate that has over
aiken our country's honor In Mexico
has brought to the cheeks of all thor
ughly patriotic Americans a perman-
mt blush of shame. Even within the
onfines of our own country our flag
las been repeatedly insulted, and only
n few instances have the perpetra-
ors Of the outrages been punished by
aw.
One OF the most amazing facts con-
lected with the presidents remark
that he ventured to give voice to II
gathering Of newspaper men.

DEMOCRATS PLACE HEAVY TAX
ON COPPER.

The revenue bill now before con.
gress classes copper as a munition oil
war and proposes to place a tax upon
it which will prove a tremendous bur.
den to the copper miners of the Unit
ed States. The great copper produc-
ing states are greatly aroused over the
measure and are sending protests to
their representatives In congress
against the passage of the bill and
pointing out its disastrous conse-
quences 1t is not likely that these
protests will do any good. The demo-
cratic party is committed to a policy
that depends upon direct taxation of
our own people for revenue to support
the government rather than upon a
tariff that would provide the revenue
and at the same time give protection
against foreign competition. But re-
gardless of the attitude of the partv
on the question of revenues, the state
of Idaho should go on record against
this blow at the copper mining in
dustry. While Idaho does not now
rank among the great copper produc-
ing states, nevertheless copper mining
is even now an important industry
and is certain to become one of the
first importance unless blocked by this
or some other democratic legislation
But outside of any direct interest the
influence of this state should be in
support of the mining industry of the
west, and no doubt our representa-
tlves in congress will make them
selves heard on this copper provision
n the revenue bill.

The Heart of the Nation Is One...
Frank L. Stanton in the Atlanta Constitution.

From stormy sea to mountain wall
The heart o. the nation hears the CALL
And the thrill of the bugle stirs them
all!
It rings Ger the Towering fields and
glades,
To the men of the old and the new
brigades.
Whose eyes shine bright as their bat
tie blades!
And what does the call of the bugle
To the souls that listen from far
away?
There is no Blue, there Is no Gray,
For the Heart of the Nation is ONE
today!
One in peace, and one in strife.
Where Liberty's stars light the heaven
of life:
Clash Of sword and flash of gun,
The Heart of the Nation is ONE!"
SAiSJ "Ao"CA al " thC puSLC HOLcS
And thrill the air where the loved
Flag floats
With thunder cheers from a million
throats!
The Flag whose brightness no black
storm mars,
The pledge of Freedom--the states Its
stars!
Call of bugle and roll of drum,
= AS one we answer, as one we come;
And the Flag DER the marching hosts
unfurled
Says with the stars that light the
world
mo state from the CLEAN of my stars
astray-
The Heart of the Nation Is ONE to-
day!
One in peace. and one In strife,
The bond Of Union the breath of life!
Clash of sword and flash of gun,
The Heart of the Nation Is ONE!"
