SMITH AND GOOD ROADS.

Congressman Addison T. Smith has
introduced a bill which provides for
federal aid in the construction of good
roads, giving the states the benefit of
the superior credit of the government
in raising money for road construc-
ton and maintenance. 1t provides for
the issuance of government bonds open
to popular subscription to the amount
of $5O0,0O0,000 to be offered at such
times and amounts as the secretary
of the treasury may deem necessary.
The funds thus raised will be adyanc-
ed to the several states in exchange
for state bonds to run fifty years, con-
ditioned upon the state having created
state highway commission to super
wise the maintenance of roads The
bill also provides that on the first day
of February of each year, beginning
after 1918, the treasurer of the Unit
ed States shall pay to each state COM
plying with the law IAN amount of
money equal to one-half the amount
such state has expended out of it's own
funds for the maintenance of public
roads during the preceding calendar
year, but in no case to exceed ~ per
centum of the amount of state bonds
said state has deposited with the Unit
ed States treasurer under the provi-
sions of this act"
The bill is one that provides for
practical road construction without
imposing a heavy burden upon the
people of the state, and at the same
time gives the people of all the states
an equal opportunity to share in its
benefits. This bill is another evidence
of the splendid work Congressman
Smith is doing in Washington. Idaho
is fortunate in having such a repre-
sentative, and the best feature is that
the people of the state recognize and
appreciate his value and are going to
keep him on the job.

IDAHO DEMOCRATS AND THE

Another plank in the democratic ma

asunder and in the work Of destruction
the democratic party of Idaho is pre-
pairing to take a hand. Here is the
plank adopted at Baltimore which hav-
ing served its purpose as a bait for
votes is now to be repudated on the
first occasion when it could be opera
tive;
1--WE direct that the national COM
mittee incorporate in the call for the
next nominating convention a re-
quirement that all expressions Of pref
erence for presidential candidates shall
be given and the selection of delegates
and alternates be made through pri-
mary election conducted by the party
organization In each state where such
expression and election are not pro-
vided by state law. Committeeman
who are hereafter to constitute the
membership of the democratic ma
tional committee and whose election is
not provided for by law, shall be chos-
en- in each state at such primary cleo
ton, and the service and authority of
committeeman, however chosen, shall
begin Immediately upon receipt of
their credentials respectively"
In obedience to this mandate the
national democratic committee has
notified the various state
,hairmen to elect delegates to the ma
ional convention at st. Louis and
state committeeman in conformity
With that platform declaration. Upon
eceiving this notice Chairman Pence.

the humiliating position of this coun-
I try as represented by the Wilson adj
ministration in its dealing with foreign
nations, having reference particularly
to the watchful waiting policy toward
Mexico, and the utter failure Of the
administration to extend protection to
American citizens and property, and
its passive attitude toward the bar
barity of the warfare that has been
carried on by inhuman bandits along
our southern border and at times on
American soil. Senator Borah made
stirring appeal to the patriotism of
the country and the response gives
unmistakable evidence that he voiced
the sentiment of the republican party
and that it will make national honor
the keynote of the campaign. The
tone of the senator's great speech is
found in the following extract:
II do not stop to argue, as believe
the American people believe, that
while the questions which affect our
material welfare are important they
are all incidental and subordinate to
the higher question of national honor
that we can not afford to play the
merchant with the miseries of the hu-
man race or barter the lives of our
people for industrial advantage, No,
no, when nations are being trodden
out and whole people massacred
when upon our very border the bar
barrie passions Of the dark ages-ha-
tired of order, hatred of law, hatred
of virtue, hatred of religion-seem
again incarnate; when all the tradi-
tons and every principle which we
have heretofore cherished stand chal-
lenged, under such conditions tariff
schedules and all things which make
for prosperity and physical well-being
must yield the first place-questions of
justice and of humanity and of ma
tional integrity must take precedence,
| do not argue these things, say,
am willing to accept the worst view as
to the mere question of success and
still declare that we had ten thousand
times better fail than speak in doubt
full tones upon these matters; better
far better remain out of power than
not to voice in words of no double
meaning the vital and appealing senti-
ments and principles of true Ameri-
canism."

THE NEW DOCTRINE.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Eleven months after the warning
that Germany would be held to strict
accountability for the loss of American
lives by submarine operations in the
war zone" more than eight months
after the Lusitania was sunk. and In
the face of similar outrages since, the
administration is still debating ques-
tons Of disavowal and considering the
proffer Of indemnity as a receipt in full.
The Mexican issue has been even long
er prptracted. The futile expedition to
Vera Cruz settled nothing. The diplo-
matte triumph that Berlin is preparing
for the administration, in the hope
future favors, will settle nothing The
government of great power, the chief
among the neutral nations, has sub
mitted to "intolerable injuries" without
one single effective stroke for redress
The Wilson doctrine that the citizens
of that government should not call up
on it for protection If they go or stay
where such injuries are possible Is a
worthy corollary to the practice Of the
Wilson administration.
