THERE is BUT ONE MEANING TO THE ACTION.

The action of the Progressive National Committee in
selecting Chicago the convention city and June 9TH
the date have but meaning. 1t that the
Progressives willing join the Republicans provided
the latter will permit them All that needs be done is to
nominate candidate for the presidency who per-
sonally politically obnoxious these former Repub-
leans There differences in principles of govern
ment which separate the two factions of the party The
Wilson administration has cleared the atmosphere to such
an extent that the opposition his ways of administer
ing the government get together. The issues the
coming campaign stand clear and distinct They may
be summed up in few words-politicay ndustrially and
socially, the United States for the people of the United
States, and the full protection of them in their rights
Happily Col Roosevelt, the tituar head of the Pro-
gressve party has stated that he will support such man
as ex-Secretary of State Knox There any number of
men in either faction of the party who will with the
approval of Col Roosevelt and his followers Such a
man as Mr. Knox will poll every the other faction
of the party The selection of the party nominees will
not be serious matter. The first and most important
step in reconciliation has been taken The matter of de-
tails will be taken up and settled Chicago.

The United States is to have official representative
IN Mexico For about three the country had one
more personal representatives of President Wilson Dur

States Senator Lodge said

Mexico. but elsewhere. government has adopted a
plan OF dealing through furtve agents of personal ma

GARRISON RECOGNIZES A FACT

One thing that like about Mr. Garrison secretary
OF war; is that he is willing face facts instead of deal
ing with hazy, misty theories. Long before any other
member of the present administration was willing to admit
our condition Mr. Garrison was advocating a state OF
military preparedness on the part of this country
Mr.. Garrison appeared before the house military COM
mttee few days since. He told that committee that
compulsory service the only really adequate basis
upon which to construct military policy compatible with
the idea of democratic government This statement is in
harmony with the ideas of Senator George E. Chamber
lain chairman of the senate committee military affairs
As stated in these columns beore Senator Chamberlain
has prepared bill which provides for universal compul
sorry military service In this way and in this way only
will the United States train its czenry and accustom
them to 1t is the only equitable democratic and
thoroughgoing suggestion that has been made

CANYON COUNTY LOSES AGAIN.

The board of county commissioners of Canyon county
have again made costly mistake. In their anxiety to
take advantage of the Bowman act they to

PERFIDIOUS TREAcHERY,

The Wallace Press-Times is moved to Indignation be-
cause the Wallace Miner insists upon considering and dis
cussing other for the Republican nomination for the
presidency than Senator Borah 1t is too much No one
would have thought of such treachery However in view
of the fact that the Miner Republican and the Times
Press Democratic the thought obrudes itself that per,
haps the Miner has honest desire see the next noml
nee OF the Republican party elected, while the Press
Times is concerned mostly in playing to local potcai
galleries.
The Tribune would much prefer that the nominee OF
the Republican party be named by Republicans notwith
standing the high and esteem in which we hold
all Democrats. In this instance believe the Miner Is
showing shrewdness as well as the highest party patriot

CAPTAIN DAVIS STARTS THE CAMPAIGN

Captain E. G. Davis is candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor. The Captain believes in an
early start and took advantage of open evening
Nampa to enunciae the platform upon which he will
make his canvass.
We gather from of his address delivered
Napa published in the newspapers that the in the
coming campaign is the publication of politics. Captain
Davis admitted that there honesty in the public
than is generally admitted but still felt that the
igencies demanded denunciaon bosses machine and
manipulation of politics. He probably had in mind
the meetings held PocatelIo and Lewiston by
prominent Republican politicians
Captain Davis has forth his personal platform. AS
it is short and very good platform subjoin it,

Republican party and honest party government In the

CHAMBERLAIN ON OUR FOREIGN POLICY.

Senator George E. Chamberlain of Oregon is Demo
crat. Senator Chamberlain is so much of Democrat
that he is chairman of the important committee
military affairs
In address delivered before the Republican Club of
New York military affairs Senator Chamberlain thus
handled the foreign policy of the United States:
when Hayti has revolution apd refuses pay her
debts, send warships and few marines and take
charge; but when it to dealing with the greater
powers of the world, instead of acting like brave
courageous and noble nation, like towards, am
ashamed and sorry say"

dent Wilson summed up so neatly and so accurately

The movement which has been
launched looking toward the nomina-
ton OF Roosevelt toward the presi
dency on the Republican ticket seems
unwise. Any party going into a cam

1t can summon The break of four
years ago, which drove Roosevelt our
OF the party for time is rapidly heal
ing, but it is question whether the
party can again be unit in his sup
port. For the same reason it would
seem equally .unwise to undertake to
place Taft at the head of the ticket.
Far better that a man not connected
with the Roosevelt-Taft ruction be
chosen; anyhow neither of the two
principals in the affair.

Mr. Coleman is not innocent who got into

fore he became Aliens assistant and coconsprator. He
escaped the penitentary for participation in defacations

believed that he employed by Allen simply and solely
