THURSDAY, MARCH l, 1917.
CONGRESS DIssGusrs THE PEOPLE.

Thoughtful Americans cannot but be
slammed by the disgusting. thoroughly con
temptible attitude of those politicians in
ing the past few days to hamper the pre>i-
dent in his efforts to prepare TO meet the
German situation. At such a tragic crisis
in the history of the Union, it were meet
that a congress selected to represent the
entire people Should uphold the president
and cooperate with him in every way pos
siblc in his determination to protect Amer
lean rights and TO insure the safety of
American lives and property on the seas.
Senator Fall of New Mexico, republican
through and through and hitter opponent
of President Wilson though he be. gave
the senate a lesson in loyalty to the shiet
executive in time of stress last week which
should have some effect. lie told his fell
low senator's some wholesome truths,
speaking in behalf of his resolution to
give the president The power to act in the
pending emergency. Lashing the filibus-
tiers for the petty, contemplate nagging Of
the president in the face of the nations
peril, he said:
You yourselves, this legislative
body, are incompetent and Inefficient.
You are proving to the people of the
United States every day your ineffi-
cheney and incompetency to take care
of the affairs of this government.
You are doing it either BY acts Of
omission or commission every day.
Then, coming boldly to the side Of the
chief executive, the senator went on:
"It j. absolutely essential to the
salvation of this government now
hat some men who will act shall
have the power to act in times Of
emergency
The truth should nave gone home to
those men who were forgetting their duty
to the people in such an hour. But, unfor-
t~unateIy official bias too often acts like
the venoin at the roots Of the ~erpeni'-
fangs In some seasons, when it becomes
so concentrated and 30 powerful that il
blinds the reptile itself. and il j. doubtful

reaidcnt. But he won the respect of the
American people.
The spectacle of a great president Of a
gftat people being nagged and hindered
by the congress at a time like the pres
emf, when it should only help and encour-
age him toEaet in beholf Of the country, a.
well as kpr humanity in general, i humii-
iating to self respecting Americans. The
action of the minority which adopted fill
clustering tactics in the last days Of the
expiring congress-, in order to force the
president to call an extra session soon
after March 4, offers a sorry commentary
upon our so-called representative govern
ment. Americans, regardless of party,
view such conduct with disgust. Even
the most pronounced anti Administrations
lists realize the danger of forcing upon
the country n situation which would re-
suit in placing the nations safety, a. well
as its dignity, in the hands of n new con
gress which will be composed largely II
untricd, inexperienced men.

A CAMPAIGN COMING UP

Judging from the raucous noises and the bad smells
coming up from Boise political campaign must be
fermenting around the state house.
In line with the traditions of years the start is made
in the state land board 1t charged that recent sales
of state lands in the southeast manipulated in
the interest of certain families that the sales were
made to different members of the families that
the sales were the minimum price OF $40 an
acre. and parcels offered knocked off SO
quickly to bidders that outsiders who wish
ed to buy shut out.
These charges became so insisent that the land
board took official cognzance of them to the extent OF
holding up the sales ordering investigation.
The chief difficulty about all this is that the land
board is political organizations the charges against 1t
are political investigation Will be political and the
verdict will be political Some day the people of Idaho
will wake up and take state land board and its COM
pick business entirely out of politics.

MANY WOMEN ARE READY

The original effort to register the of America
for any service which they fitted to have
been pretty much failure In communities such as
Moscow the women knew nothing of it. There was no
registering DONE but this not because of ndiffer
ence or desire to shirk duty. There many good
women in Moscow as in all other communities, who
would have been glad to record ready for any
service their government asked of them.
Now it would seem, systematic effort is to
be made to register the of America This will
in the second week in October, and royal re-
Spouse may be counted on The American women have
thus arisen noby to every demand made them,
and they will go the limit in defense of the high prin
cples involved in this There is nothing in this
world certain than that.
