DISAPPOINTMENT AT PAY
ETTE.

The people of Payette were disap-
rointed in the results of the primary
election. Unfortunately the only can
didates Payette had in the field were
candidates whose nomination would
have interferred with the plans Of the
people of Canyon county. Had Pay
cite introduced candidates for other
positions it is altogether likely that
much Of the disappointment would not
have occurred One of the disad-
vantages of the present primary sys-
TEN is that there is no method OF
giving each community fair repre-
sentation in the government. There
is no such thing as fair distribution Of
county offices. The Tribune regrets
keenly that Payette has not fair rep
resentation on the county ticket of the
| Republican party. The fair minded
men of Payette realize that is was inn
possible to give them such representa-
ton under the system in vogue.
In justice to Payette we trust that
the officers elected at the next gen.
eral election will see to it that Pay
| cite is treated fairly, yes literally. in
every respect. Those things which
the county can do for a community
should be done for Payctte. Payette
should be treated so kindly that she
will fight to remain with and part oil
Canyon county.
Back of this and of every fight in
Canyon county is county division
Payette wants a new county. She
feels that only in this way can she
achieve the greatness that she should
have. We are convinced that a grear

Decision to Call Congress IIurl.edy Made.

Admitted That Relations With Germany Would Prob

BULLETIN.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The
president already has completed
the communication he will deliver
to congress. Up to the present
time it had been thought he
would send this communication to
Berlin. 1t was decided, however.
that the situation had become so
serious as to require more drastic
steps.
No official of the administration
would say definiately what course
had been decided upon. Some
kind of communication will 20
forward to Berlin probably to-
morrcw, but apparently no one
but the president and the MEM
bers of his cabinet know what it
will be.
1t has been stated and reiter-
ated that before taking any steps
tending to lead to a rupture in
diplomatic relations or war the
president would lay the situation
I before congress. On this account,
when unofficial word of the ma
ture of the message to be delivered
tomorrow began to circulate. 1t
was taken for granted on both
sides of the capitol that drastic
action was impending.
