WHAT WILL DEMOCRATS DO WITH cANyoN1

What will the Democratic organization do with Canyon
County at the Pocatello convention Will it seat the
handpicked delegation or the delegation elected the
primary election? We suspect that will depend upon
the exgences of the If Messrs Pence, Elder and
Nugent have enough delegates without Canyon they will
seat the primary elected delegation If they need the
Canyon delegation they will the handpcked delegates

MANN DENoUNcEs POLITICS OF PRESIDENT
WILSON

Congressman Mann, Republican leader in the House of
Representatives pointed out and proved conclusvey that
President Wilson is playing politics all of the Mr.
Mann showed that the President has hesated to pro-
mote his political interests when involving our re-
ationships with foreign countries He has taken advan
tage of crises in affairs work his personal advantage
Democrats for exposing President Wilson, They do not
disprove or explain the activities of the President but
conhne themselves to denuncation of the Republican
House leader. Criticism of the President is becoming
more pronounced and it will continue to grow stronger
with time AT the very first there disposition to
treat President Wilson lenienty He given credit for
good intention and high patriotic motives Not once but
dozen times Republican congressman of both houses
have come to his assistance The Republican press and
Republican sentiment generally sustained the actions of
those members of Congress. President Wilson, himself
never raised above the blndet parisanhp in foreign or
domestic affairs That single track mind of his run along
in the Democratic groove from the beginning to the pres
ent time.
Republicans not alone in questioning the sincerity
OF President Wilson and than one issue before
the country Democrats his severest critics on his
change of front preparedness the Panama canal tolls
during his administration. The average Democrat wants
to be free to criticize the President should occasion re-
quire, but he will not willingly grant Republicans and
Progressives the privilege
In all likelihood criticism has just started Candid re-
views of the Wilson administration will occur from time
to time during the next few months These reviews will
be very interesting 1t is likely that they will be
pleasing to the administration.

NO HYPHENISM HERE.

In constradistinction of the utter

tongues other than American is the
following paragraph from an editorial
in the Croatian Flag of Chicago:
I'VE Americans of Croatian descent

clare solemnly that in the hour of
trial which President Wilson declar-
ed may arrive at any moment all of
us will flock at his call around him

that this adopted country of our free
choice is foremost and all in our

struck by those who came to our

Several months ago President Will
son admitted that he is not business
man, and he has proved it by his ad-
ministration. In his Jefferson Day
speech, he said: I'VE have turned the
thoughts and energies and the con-
quering genius of the business men of
America to the great field of the bus
mess of the world at large" That
comes from the same man who said
that lit is very tedious to hear men
lie, particularly when you know they
are lying" The fact of the matter
is that Democratic legislation destroy
ed American business to such an ex-
tent that European and Asiatic bust
ness men became the "conquering
genius" in the American market. The
outbreak of the war in Europe was
all that saved us from complete dis
aster. 1t is true that the thoughts of
American business men are at the mo-
ment turned to the field of the world
at large, but that is due entirely to the
effect of the war; And Wilson knows
it, but is intellectually dishonest
enough to say, 1--WE did it."

There is but one political leader in
Idaho, and William E. Borah is his
name" This is the slogan that is be-
ing industrially advocated for the re-
publicans of Idaho by one Charles A.
Sunderlin, of Burley. who has been
suddenly seized with a violent ambi-
ton to become attorney general of
the state by way of the republican
party. Mr.. Sunderlin does not stop
with the snobbery implied in his slo-
gan, but he Celebrates it in the way
of fulsome praise that must make the
senior Idaho senator feel like going
out cunning for his fool friends. Many
a public man has his usefulness i'm
paired and his brilliant career cut
short by the utterance and publication
of such stuff as Sunderlin is putting
out about Borah. Evidently Sunder-
lin hopes to sail into Office as the tail
of the Borah kite.-Wallace Miner
A rumor was persistently ahoat at
Twin Falls during the convention last
week to the effect that some of the
would-be leaders of the Republican
party had entered into a frame-up to
try to depose D. w. Davis as a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for governor. This should be proof
positive that D. w. Davis is not the
candidate of the Republican machine,
and, therefore is safe man for the
voters of Idaho to tie to. He will be
in at the finish and if we mistake not
he will be the Republican nominee,

ditch him concede that at this time
he is away in the ad.-Mountain

As the proposed Sawooth National Park is already in

the difference between the administrative policy of the
national nara commission and of the forestry service In
the first place the national parks under the control of
the Secretary of the Interior The national forests
under the control of the Secretary of Agriculture Mr.
Stewart Edward White recently wrote the following in
urging the creation of national park service which clearly
sets forth the distinctions between national park and
national forest:
"If the public in general understood the difference
between national park and national forest, there
could be no doubt the opinion of any intelligent
citizen The distinction simple that it seems that
it should be easy to get it within the comprehension OF
ANYBODY A national forest is going business carried

mercialy both in private and national forests. The
idea is not commercial development along
vatve and constructive lines, but absolute preserva-
ton in state of nature. Once this distinction is
grasped no doubt that these two institutions
demand entirely different management. 1t would be
sensible to put men with the training in charge
of both national park and national forest, it would
be to place the with the same training in
charge of busy shoe factory and museum of arch
aeology."

BUSINESS MEN FOR WILSON.
League Organizes And Plans Nation
Wide Campaign.

New York, Sept 23-The Wilson
Business Mems National League, with
headquarters at $50 Madison Avenue
New York, perfected its organization
today and outlined nationwide cam
paign among business men to insure
the reelection of President Wilson.
Charles R. Crane, of the Crane Com
pany, Chicago, was elected president.
Among the vice-presidents are George
F. Johnston, of the Endicott-Johnston
Company, Engicott. n. Y, w. L.
Saunders, of the Ingersoll- Rand Com
pany, New York, G. H. Ingersoll, of
the Ingersoll Watch Company, New
York, and John H. Fahey, of Boston,
former president of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States. A
board of five directors has been elect
ed for each state.
The scope of the organization is al
ready national and work of a prelimi-
nary character has been in progress
for some time. Literature has been
issued supporting the contention of
the league that the business men of
the country owe their present prosper
ity, not to conditions, brought about
economic establishments under PreSi-
dent Wilson's administration. ThOus-
ands of business men, representing all
sections of the United States, already
have been enrolled and the leagues

The disease spreads rapidly, has
already done so over much of the
northeast, in fact In the spring the
srcreE or seeds are blown by the wind
from diseased pines to currant and
gooseberry leaves, where they germi-
nate, penetrate the leaf tissues, and
produce a rust on the underside of the
leaves in late summer and fall. The
leaves of these common bushes pro-
duce millions of tiny spores or seeds,
capable of injecting great quantities
of these white pines. Once infected,
the white pine does not recover.
Evidently the only certain way to
circumvent the spread and contagion
of this disease through development
on it's dual host would consist in the
removal of all such berry bushes. In
certain cases, however, this would
undoubtedly work unnecessary hard
ship and inconvenience, and as yet
this remedy seems hardly necessary

But Mr.. Wilson is not an aristocrat.
He has fought, according to his lights,
against the exploitation of the bodies
and energies of the common people to
defend the interests and investments
OF the prosperous. At the start he
would not fight in Mexico to defend
American investors; he would not
take sides with Rockefeller in the
Colorado strike; he helped reduce the
tariff; he alleviated the domination of
the money trust; he would not get
us into the war, even after the Lusi-
tania, though he did risk doing so,
and though all society wanted to get
in, and he would not side with the
railroads against the brotherhoods.
This man is for the mass of the
people. He really is a great Demo-
crat. He is a good hand to nip the
tariff cobra, the banking adder, the
railroad boa-constrictor when that is
necessary. 1t is his nature to fight
these creatures. 1t was not Roose-
velt's nature to fight them. He could
slash around among them on oc-
casions, but he enjoyed their society.
His notion of government was always
government by aristOcracy"
