The following official proclamation
of the Socialist party in the United
States is published by request of repre-
sentative Idaho Socialists:
BY mere executive decree, the
president OF our country has broken
off diplomatic relations with the
German empire. and placed the people
of the United States in imminent dan
ger of being actively drawn into the
mad war OF Europe.
MILLIONS ARE KILLED.
During the last 30 months, the black :
est months in the annals Of human
history, 100000 innocent men have
been brutally killed, and many more
millions have been crippled and MAIN
ed for life. Whole countries have been
devastated and the accumulated treas
ures of human industry and natures
generosity have been ruthlessly de-
stroyed.
Europe Is dread house Of MOURN
ing in which the disconsolate sobs Of
the widows and orphans at home
mingle with the agoniZed groans Of the
wounded and dying on the battlefield.
In this savage carnival Of whole
sale and indiscriminate murder, there
was but one powerful member Of the
family of nations that preserved an at
titudo of comparative sanity the
United States of America.
AMERICA NOW SAFE.
Removed by the vast stretch Of the
Atlantic ocean from the scene Of the
inhuman conflict. safe in our economic
self sufficiency. and proud of our ad-
vanced and democratic institutions, we
watched the Redistribution of our
European brothers with bleeding
hearts, eagerly waiting for the oppor-
tuaity to bring them back to reason
and peace, to life and happiness.
And suddenly, with little notice or
warning, without the sanction or
consent Of the people and without con-
sultation with the peoples chosen rep
resentatives in congress, we are prac-
tically ordered to join In the mad dance
OF death and destruction and to swell
the CHASTITY river OF blood in Europe
with the blood of thousands Of Amer
lean workers.
The Socialist party OF the United
States, speaking in behalf OF hundreds
OF thousands Of its adherents and in
behalc of the working class OF the
country, enters a solemn protest
against this wanton attempt to draw
us into the European conflict.
REvERSiON TO 6ARBARIsM,
We are opposed to wars between
nations because war IS a reversion to
brutal barbarism. We are opposed to
the present threatened, war In partic-
ular because no great war has ever
been waged with less justification and
NO more frivolous pretexts.
The policy Of unrestricted and Il.

SOCIALIST ATTITUDE ON THE WAR

Gently announced by the German gov
eminent is most ruthless and inhu-
man, but so is war as a whole and
SO are all methods applied by both
sides. War Is murder. War Is the
climax of utter lawlessness, and 1t is
idle to pirate about lawful or lawless
methods of warfare.
v. S. NOT THREATENED.
The German submarine warfare
does not threaten our national in
tegrity or independence. not even our
national dignity and honor. 1t was
not aimed primarily at the United
States, and would not affect the
American people. 1t would strike only
those parasitic classes that have been
making huge profits by manufacture
ing instruments of death or by taking
away our food and selling it at exor-
bitant prices to the fighting armies OF
Europe.
The workers OF the United States
have no reason and no desire to shed
their blood for the protection ind fur
therance of the unholy profits Of their
masters and will not permit living
taking up arms to murder II cir broth
ers in Europe.
The 100000 men whose corpses are
now rotting upon the battlefields OF

it will be the American workers whose
lives will be sacrificed-an inglorious,
senseless sacrifice on the altar of cap

SAMUEL POWELL
PASSES away At
BOISE HOSPITAL
Prominent Richfield Man
Dead, Following Compli-
cations Resulting from an
Attack of the Grip.

Samuel H. Powell, president of the
Idaho Irrigation company, with head
quarters at Richfield, died this morning
at a local hospital from complications
following an attack Of grip developing
at Los Angeles early in February. He
was taken to Richfield, where he be-
came worse, and was hurried to Boise
on the 18th.
when the end came and will take the
Lody to New York for burial.
HE WAS A BUILDER.
Mr.. Powell was Al. Throughout his
life he had been engaged in construc-
tive endeavor. In New York he was
a member of the bond firm Of w. w.
Halsey g. Co. prior to its merger with
IL National City bank. At the time Of
his death he was manager Of the bond
buying department of william p. Bon
bright & Co.. IA Wall street, New York.
1t was while he was connected with the
Halsey company that he financed the
Idaho Irrigation company, Of which ne
had been president since 1910.
Mr.. Powelrs rare business ability. his
keen interest in the development Of
the big Carey act project in Idaho and
his broad conception Of practical re-
quirements has resulted in the marked
and successful development in the Ida
no Irrigation oompany's territory.
To him is due credit for the accom-
plishment of the gigantic task OF re-
organization to enable the company
to accommodate itself to the financial
condition of settlers. 1t was the first
company to voluntarily grant a prac-
tically unconditional extension of five
years.
BROAD HUMAN SYMPATHY.
He had a complete understanding
of and a human sympathy for the
condition of settlers on new land. The
companys policy under his admins
tration has been made almost COM
pletely subservient to the necessities
of the farmer.
The project is just entering a period
of real farm development and APP
preaching the fulfillment of the OBJ
jects for which 1t was formed.
Although Mr.. Powell has had unani
nous support OF the directors in his
policies and it Is anticipated that
those policies will be Continued, it is
matter of deep regret that they can not
be continued under his persona ii direc-
ton.
Mr.. Powell had been frank to recog-
nize the fundamental oversights and
mistakes which have been the cause of
so many appointments, both on the
part Of bondholders and settlers on
so many projects. Failure Of the state
to appreciate it's responsibilities in
the beginning and meet them with
more businesslike methods and stand
ards was always a matter OF deep con-
| Germ to him.

pointed in the Senate.

nary of the Fourteenth session, il the

law and other constructive measures
passed, were heard about the legisla-
tive halls today In order to expedite
business in the senate, Il sitting COM
mittee has been decided upon, and is
to sift to the top Of the calendar the
more important measures.
Unless the legislature is able to put
inside some of the threatened compli-
cations over anti-alien legislation, and
other issues. an adjournment on the last

possible. 1t is not divulging any secret
TO say that the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party in the legislature have
been INDUCING in some plain talk and
those outside of the legislature are
insisting that the party be kept in
mind instead of the personal ambitions
of some of the solons.
HOUSE IN GOOD SHAPE.
The house has fairly well cleaned up
Its calendar. The long Friday and
Saturday sessions, with a night ses-
sion. accomplished this. When the
senate went into session last night it
had no less than 20 bills ON the third
reading. to say nothing of the large
number that were transmitted over to
the lower house by the senate. There

the present time 379 bills. 10 house me-

BIG APPROPRIATIONS.
The appropriation measures intro
duced, but not passed, run into give
millions of dollars. There are among
them a number of wagon bridge bills,

CHICAGO, May 21.-Stymies in golf play are abolished by a revolutionary rule promulgated by the Western Golf association today for play in the west ern championship, to DC held at the Midlothian Country club, Chicago July 9 to If.
 The new rule, which so far as three fourths of the United States and all or Canada are concerned does away with one of the most discussed penalties Of golf, upsets one of the cardinal rules of the ancient Scottish game by providing that the ball nearest the hole shall be played first when both balls are on the putting green. Heretofore, the ball farthest from the hole had to be played first.
 The new rule was promulgated by President Charles Ft Thompson and the directors of the Western Golf associa ton unanimously without consulting other golf bodies
