Mr.. FORD AGAIN

The following editorial appeared
in the Wisconsin State Journal Of
Madison, Wis, May %, 1918:
The Ford car has son. It's been
christened the Fordson. It's the
little tractor that Ford and his en-
gineers have been working on for
years. It's now commercial pro-
duct. To mention 1t suggests to the
fguile1ess mind that we have opened
up our editorial column for q paid
advertisement. Far from it. In the
first place, the. same Ford is so
widely known that 1t is like adver-.
tising daylight to mention the Ford.
The Ford is the y, most discussed,
most frequently mentioned produce
ever put out by any single manufac-
turing plant in this or any other
country in the world. And when a
plant that puts forth such pro-
duct brings out another product
after years of engineering and ex-
perimentation it constitutes news
item worthy of comment. If the
FOrdson can be as useful an instru-
ment as the Ford car has been, hail,
hail, Fordson, here's your free ad.
We're glad to hand it to you.
But our interest in the Fordson
does not stop with the product it.
self. That is merely where It be-
gins. The world is full of knockers,
ready to knock anybody who has
made a success of anything or who
is attempting to really do something
constructive and worth while. Ma

Non-P artisan Party
Is in Hot Water

1t seems that the Non-Partisan
league in its efforts to control both
political parties in Idaho has about
gotten itself into the position of a
political party itself and is therefore
subject to the laws of the state gov
erning political parties.
A political party is an assemblage
or organization Of citizens that holds
it's meetings in precinct, county and
state to plan it's political activities.
The Non-Partisan league has done
those three things in the regular
way, similar to other political part
les, excepting that it was not done
on the dates provided by law and
they did not publish declaration
of principles or platform, but they
are doing the other things to put a
ticket in the field or to take posses
sion of the other fellows organiza-
tion.
They have endorsed a number of
candidates on the Democratic ticket
and had already provided that men,
bers of their organization should be
candidates on the Democratic ticket,
therefore they are only endorsing
their own men who are attempting
to slip in on the Democratic organi-
zation and if elected the league
would be in the saddle. The Demo-
cratic party objects to being taken
possession of in this way and there
is considerable talk among party
leaders of contesting their right to
do these things that are forbidden
by the statute.

He says the same thing applies to
making road repairs only work on
the roads should be done at time
when the mud will bake and take
the dolby form, just the reverse of
what should happen in the field.
He says he sees great strips of roads
that are dragged after the mud has
dried up enough so that dragging
and rubbing only makes the soil
mellow. 1t should be done when wet
enough to smooth down the road
and pack, and the material will re-
main in place. Mr.. Austin mentions
a discovery that was made at Rex
burg by accident. They decided to
spread thin coat of gravel over
some of the streets a few years ago
and they did the hauling in the win
ter time when the ground was
frozen and the snow was still on.
The gravel was dumped on top of
the snow and when the spring thaw
came the thin sheet of gravel sunk
into the loose soil and became a
tramway. 1t was recently broken
up and removed to make room for
pavement and the contractor was un-
able to pOw it at all and it had to
be loosened with sharp picks.

WORK OF SURGICAL
DRESSING DEPARTMENT
Locatedin Comfortable Quar-
ters; in Need of More Fur
niture. Sanitation is aNo-
table Feature.

We wonder how many people OF
Bingham county know that since the
Surgical Dressing Department of the
Red Cross have moved to new rooms
they are occupying by far the best
quarters of any chapter in the state
and perhaps two or three states.
OF course one does not like to take
in too much territory even tho en-
thusiasm runs high, but the fact re-
mains that the Boise-Payette Lum-
ber company placed our chapter way
above par in location when they pre-
pared the entire up stairs floor of
their new modern building on Bridge
street, and donated it for services
to the Surgical Dressing Department
during the period of war.
Surgical Dressing in preparation
requires such strict cleanliness 1t Is
fitting the rooms should be spotless
and they are. There is a large work
or cause room that one not knowing
exact dimentions could better de-
scribe by comparing it to an anus
ment hall. 1t is well lighted with
large windows that also provide good
circulation and ventilation Of air
necessary these warm days. They
are we'll curtained and screened to
protect from the heat Of the sun and
to keep flies out. We also note a
number Of radiators that be-speak
pleasant heat in winter. The cause
room is supplied with long tables
covered with dark green oil-cloth
and chairs on either side whereby
eight workers are seated at each
table. On these tables we saw spatu-
las that resembled long steel knives
with broad flexible blades. Several
pair Of scissors and some glass re-
ciptacles somewhat like old-fash-
ioned salt cellars. There was sew

tachment. No class was working at

LEAGUE ADOPTS
new SCHEDULE
Company D and Lava Hot
Springs Dropped from
the League.

At a meeting of the executive
board of the Southeastern league
held at Blackfoot, Idaho on June 26,
1918, the baseball teams represent
ing Company D of Pocatello and
Lava Hot Springs were dropped from
the league. The aforementioned
teams were not sufficiently strong
to compete with Blackfoot, Shelley,
Idaho Falls and the Elks of Pocatello
and the result was the crowds were
very small at all games in which
the two weak teams engaged, and
the gate receipts were not large
enough to maintain actual expenses.
The four teams now representing
the league are evenly matched and
the fans of the national game can
look forward to some real baseball.
Idaho Falls has been materially
strengthened by the addition of four
or five new players and Shelley will
have new faces in its lineup on its
next appearance here. The team
representing the Elks Of Pocatello
speaks for itself. it having won eight
games and lost only one; Blackfoot's

Kirkendahl at second, Kimble at
short and Hardy at third present an
impregnable defense; the outfield
will be selected from West, ThOrs-
tenburg, Hannafield, Rich and
Stevens. Two of the games that
were lost by the home team was due
to the weak spot at third base which
is now being SO capably filed by
"Stub," who is proving himself to
be the best third-baseman in the
league. The team is showing real
hitting strength and the boys are
anxiously awaiting the next game,
which will be played at Pocatello,
when the old jinx will be driven to
cover. t.

WILSON REPLEDCES NATION TO
THE CAUSE OF HUMAN LIBERTY
Eloquent Words by Head of Country at Tomb
of Its Father at Mount Vernon--Briliant AS
semblage of Diplomats and Statesmen
Hear 4th July Speech of President.

MOUNT VERNON. VA.-The war
aims of the civilized nations of the
world who are battling against Ger
man militarism and autocracy, were
on July 4 summarized by President
Wilson in single sentence.
what we SEEK" the chief execu-
tive said, "Is the reign Of law based
upon the consent of the government
and sustained by the organized opin-
ion of mankind"
Standing in the very shadow of the
tomb of General George Washington,
the president once more declared
that the battle will continue until
complete victory has been achieved.
There is only one issue, he pro-
claimed, and there can be no com-
promise made on half way grounds,
The setting was solemn and pic.
turesque. Grouped with the presi-
dent were the members of the diplO-
matte corps of the allies and the
neutral nations. Behind them were
the green hills of Virginia. Before
them the slowly flowing waters OF
the Potomac, The whole program
was in reality a pilgrimage to q ma
ti0n's holy place. Behind the parti-
cipants was the. war activity Of the
nations capital, but here on July 4
was solemnity and peace. AS the
president himself said:
From the green hillside we also
ought to be able to see with COM
pretending eyes the world that lies
about us and should conceive anew
the purposes that must set men
free"
Contrary to the popular expecta-
tion the president did not deal with
the Russian situation. Only one
sentence was devoted to that nation,
the reference being simply to its pre-
sent unorganized and helpless state.
Because of this there was a feeling
among those who heard the president
that he will have another message
yery soon daling with that nation
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-07-12

very soon dealing with that nation
entirely.
Today's address was one of the
briefest the president has yet ut
tered. 1t was supremely confident
in tone and expressed the highest
ideals of Americanism. The presi-
dent said:
Gentlemen of the diplomatic
corps and my fellow citizens:
Il am happy to draw apart with
you to this quiet place of old coun-
sci in order to speak little of the
meaning of this day of our nation s
independence. This place seems
very still and remote. 1t is as
serene and untouched by the hurry
Of the world as it was in those great
days long ago when General Wash
ington was here and held leisurely
conference with the men who were
to be associated with him in the
creation of a nation. From these
gentle slopes they looked out upon
the world and saw it whole, saw it
with the light Of the future upon it,
saw it with modern eyes that turned
away frem a past which men of
liberated spirits could no longer en-
dure. 1t is for that reason that we
cannot feel, even here, in the i'm
mediate presence of this sacred
tomb, that this is place of death.
1t is a place of achievement. A great
promise that was meant for all man
kind was here given plan and reality.
The association by which we are
here surrounded are the inspiriting
associations of that noble death
which is only glorious consumma-
tion. From this hillside we also
ought to be able to see with COM
pretending eyes the world that lies
about us and should conceive anew
the purposes that must set men free.

ROME, July 10.-Austria has de-
clined to accept the German general,
Otto Won Beulow, as commander-in-
chief of the forces on the Italian
front, because Germany refused to
send twelve German divisions with
him, according to the newspaper
Epoca, which bases the statement on
advices from Swiss source.
Austria, it adds, has temporarily
given up the idea of revenging her
self for her recent defeat by Italy.
Dispatches from Rome, thru Paris
on July Z, reported that Germany in
tended sending three army corps to
the aid Of Austria to be put under
General Otto Won Beulow, as COM
mander-in-chief on the Italian front.
Reports from Zurich several days

Salaries at Hog Island Shipyard

Walter Goodenough, who pulls down
a salary of $4,000 a year as genersi
manager Of the Hog Island shipvard
which is under investigation by the,
Government, testified before the S,.n-
ate investigating committee Thursdsy
that he did not believe his salary va
excessive if his services were accent
ed as satisfactory. He also defended
salaries Of other employees. Senator
Nelson asserted that two h;gh-priced
officials at Hog Island formerly were
IN the junk business in Minnesota at
low pay. A letter read by the SEN
ator stated that Leo Harris, now re-
celvlng $625 month at Hog Is,ard.
could not go back to Minnesota and
earn 500 month" Harris, the let
ter said, formerly was employed by
his father in the junk business. An
other letter asserted that Geo. Gillette,
who receives 1000 year at Hog Is
land knows very little about any bus
iness," and that Bernard w. Harris,
who receives $1,000 month at HeE
Island, was associated with his father
and brother in the junk business be-
fore going to the shipyard. They seem
to have a special fondness for junk
dealers in that outfit

WHAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
Large Cash Salaries Paid to Families
Of Soldiers By Uncle Sam
Every Month

Very few people know that married
men can volunteer for the regular
army and still fewer know how the
government takes care of their fami-
lies for them while they are away.
First the government takes SIS per
month of the $50 that new soldier
gets and hands it to his wife. 1t
gives her another SIS for being his
wife, so she gets $50 in cash every
month.
If she has one child she gets $40 a
month. If two children, she gets
$47.50 per month. If three children
$3.50. If four children, $3.50. If
live children, $G2.50 If six children
S65 per month.
The soldier gets SIS per month,
which is all he needs TO spend, as he
gets his beard, lodging, clothing, doc
tors bills, heat and light free.
Uncle Sam does all this for mar
ried man so he need have no anxiety
about his family while he is away do
ing his duty.

Worlds Largest Concrete Ship
Successfully Launched.

So successful was the launching at
Pacific port on the 14th of the
worlds largest reinforced concrete
ship that her builders announced they
Immediately would begin construction
Of 81 similar ship and expected that
all would be completed within 18
months
Six weeks from the day the con-
crete was poured into the forms the
7,900-ton ship, christened Faith y
took the water. The huge hull, states
press dispatch, careening sharply
as it slid sidewise down steeply-
pitched incline threw up huge wave
in the narrow estuary, then righted
sharply and rode like a buoy. Not a
hitch marred the operation and engi-
neers declared themselves so satisfied
with the launching that it would be
unnecessary, in their opinion, to give
the Faith a trans-Pacific towing try
ing, as intended. Engines will be in
stalled at once and the Faith put into
commission as rapidly as she can be
fitted out, it was announced.
Experts who witnessed the launch
ing predicted that concrete construc-
ton would mark a new era in ship
building and that the speed with which
such ships could be turned out un-
doubtedly would have an important
bearing on the Allies successful pros
ecution of the war.
