EMMETT WEATHER REPORT.
A weeks record of the government
weather station, as furnished by Lo-
cal Weather Observer Fl. T. Davis:


Idaho is destined to be divided into
two congressional districts, the First
and Second. The next legislature will
see to that, it is said. Equalization of
population insofar as possible will
balance the districts. The First will
constitute the eight northern counties
and Adams, Washington, Gem and
either Ada or Canyon, Custer and pos
sibly Lemhi. All other counties south
of those named will constitute the Sc
cond district. To each district one
congressman will be assigned. Such
is the tentative plan that political
leaders are now attempting to figure
out. The Democrats are in favor of
districting and as they will control the
legislature they will have the last
word in the carving of Idaho.

it's of the putting to death of the
leaders of the rebels, it is common
knowledge the number of Sim Feiners
since the rebellion has multiplied enor-
mously. 1t is practically admitted
now the country seethes with the Bit
terest hatred of England. To take
one small instance, it is impossible,
whatever might be the wages offer
ed, to persuade an Irish maid servant
to accept work across the channel.
Englishmen generally, both from
policy and inclination, are anxious to
put an end to this state of affairs,
which in the midst of desperate war
can only be described as dangerous.
1t is no longer merely a question of
home rule. There are two points in
volved of vital Importance to the Bri-
fish Empire. One is that of England
fighting with vicious enemy at her
back The other is that Ireland, has,
to all intents and purposes, ceased to
send recruits to the British army,
which needs them badly.
The problem is whether settlement
can be reached which will solve both
questions at once. Among the inner
most governing circles belief is
growing such solution is possible.
A scheme is now being discussed by
those who count for most which is
likely to be put into operation at any
moment.
The central part of the idea is the
enforcement of Home Rule, J
which has been on the statute books
for over two years. That move would
do much to remove dissatisfaction in
Ireland and would unquestionably les
sen the distrust of England. The
next step, it is suggested, would be to
make an effort to carry on the gov
of Ireland, for the time be-
ing, by a committee of six, giving two
members to each of the three main
sections in Ireland.

If the grouse of this section are to
be protected in any adequate manner
a change in the present game laws,
reducing the size of the bag, will be
absolutely necessary, according to
Jack Oquin, forest ranger, who for
three years has been stationed as
lookout on Bald mountain. Mr.. Oquin,
who has been detailed to the Boise
office of the forest service for
month, has made special note of game
three years ago grouse were exceed
ingly plentiful, so much so that one
did not have to hunt them; they block
ed the way. Last year he was able
to obtain birds when he hunted for
them, but this year there are none to
be had, even after a close hunt. He
thinks the daily bag limit should be
six birds, and that possibly the season
should be shortened, although the lat
ter Is not so necessary, since most of
the birds are killed in the first few
weeks. bill protecting the black or
brown bear in Idaho, except during
certain open seasons, will be introduce
ed in the next legislature, according
to sportsmen who are seeking to have |
the clause in the predatory animal
law offering bounties on bruin struck
out. The grizzly bear, too, is to have
a friend at court when the legislature
meets, but since it is said by hunters
that there are fewer than a score of
grizzlies in the state that species will
get less attention than the cinnamon
bear.

THE DISTANT JUROR

INT is noticeable that when
federal court cases are
tried here and the cases
arise in Umatilla county the
federal prosecutor will avoid
taking Umatilla county jurors.
It is also noticeable that fed
eral prosecutions almost invari-
ably result in convictions. In
other words when there is EVIL
denee to warrant conviction
the jury convicts.
Beyond question there is a
relationship between the use
of outside jurymen and the re-
suits obtained by the govern
ment prosecutors. The out
side juror is free from local af-
filiations of any sort. He does
not know the defendant or the
defendants lawyers or his
friends. He will not have to
reside among them in the fu-
ture and hence is in position to
take the cold blooded attitude
the ideal juror is supposed to
manifest.
State cases could also be
tried on this same basis were
il possible to use jurors from
other counties. In reality all
local cases should be tried be-
fore jurors brought in from
other counties and Umatilla
county jurymen should be

SENATOR SHERMAN

~ ENATOR SHERMAN of
50 Illinois has always been
2 a busy shouter for
"strong action" toward Mexi-
co. 1t was he who following
the Villa raid on Columbus
proposed that the United States
prepare an army of 100000
for the invasion of Mexico and
of course for the conquest Of
that country with whose gov
eminent this nation has no
quarrel.
1t is significant that this
gentleman who has no regard
for the national rights of the
people of Mexico is lamentably
weak in support Of our own
rights upon the high seas. He
recently wrote a professor in
the University of Chicago say
ing that Americans who cross
the ocean on belligerent ships
are "impudent Americans"
who have no right to expect
their country's protection
This despite the fact interna-
tional law does not sanction
the sinking of passenger ships,
even of belligerent nations,
without giving warning and
regardless of the fact figures
show that 100000 people
crossed the Atlantic to and
from America during 1915.
Most of this travel is aboard
belligerent ships because there
ere few American ships on the
run. Most of the travel is

THE FUTILITY OF HI
~STANDPATERS

NJ HE cry is frequently heard
u these days, particularly
from standpatters, that
the United States must get in.
to shape for stiff competition
from Europe when the war is
ended. German competition is
particularly feared because the
Germans are tremendously
efficient.
Now it so happens that Ger
man efficiency, in business as
in war, is not due solely to the
ability and intelligence of the
German people, but also to the
fact Germany in many ways
follows a policy of state social
ism. The German government
INDUCES directly in some lines
of industry and business with
consequent gain to the empire
end the people as a whole.
The inference is plain that
ii this country would prepare
to face industrial competition
from such a nation it would be
wise to initiate some of the Ger
man methods. The Wilson adj
ministratiOn is working along
this very line in its advocacy
of the ship purchase bill and
the establishment of a govern
ment armor plant. Those pro-
posals are up-to-date and if
carried out will give US footing
CT the road we must travel if
we are to hold our own.
Yet strange to say the very
that talks so much
about the necessity of being
awake to foreign competltlon
the war, objects most
vociferiously to these admins
tration measures. The ship
bill and the armor factory bill
are bitterly condemned by oul
tories as socialistic.
The standpatters say We
must prepare to bag big game
when the war is over but they
insist we shall hunt only will
old time rifle and shot gun
when the need is for the mod
ern weapon of government &C
ton even if the pattern be so
cialistic. We will not reacl
success by following the stand
patter who never thinks a
much of the country's welfare
as he does of the special inter
ests with which he is con
nected.

HI SLIDE REMOVED

MF an informal prediction
made by Colonel Goethals
proves correct the Pana-
ma canal will be opened for
traffic in five days time, April
Is. 1t is also believed the
slide trouble will be perma-
nently cured though on this
point there seems to be some
question. At any rate there is
every indication the canal will
be open during the rest of the
year which will be welcome
news to farmers. The use OF
the canal means considerable
to the price of wheat, or would
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-04-10

if shipping conditions were at
all normal. With charters SO
high, even between Atlantic
ports and Europe, there is
doubt as to just how much
good the canal will accomplish
this year. The ship owners
seem bent on making a million
dollars a month-more or less
on every craft afloat, there.
fore they may decide to alb
sorb the benefits of the canal
for themselves. If the canal is
open, however, no one can
blame high charters on defects
in the waterway.
