VOTERS have greater RESPONSE
bility laid upon them this year
than at any election within the last
half century. With the close Of the
war economic conditions throughout
the world will undergo vast change
Social and industrial conditions will
be changed. One Of the big questions
will be government ownership Of utili-
ties. Men Of broad vision and wise
craftsmanship will be needed in Con-
gress, The voter should choose them
wisely. Idaho knows by the past pub
lie services of Frank r. Gooding and
Burton l.. French that they are
eminently fitted by training and
ability to take a mans part in the
great work ahead. We know they will
be guided by patriotic impulse and not
swerved from the path of duty by
class interests. They are worthy Of
the support Of Idaho voters.

THERE are five questions TO vote
upon at the election on Tuesday

sutiona. convention This Is not an

stitution. New conditions will con
front as after the war. Let's wait I'M

THE insinuation thrown out in an
Emmett paper last week that wom-
en- are not competent TO fill county
offices smacks too much Of by-gone
ages to appeal to the present day yo-
ter. Certainly the women voters Of
Gem county will resent it. The record
made by women in other counties has
not suffered in the least in comparison
with men, In every particular they
have given excellent service. Besides,
in these war times men are needed for
war work and can be released for
many classes Of war activities that
women cannot successfully assume.
TALKING about county offices, the
voter should exercise his very best
Judgment in choosing those who are
best fitted 10 give the highest eff
ficiency in public service. Because a
candidate is a good fellow or that he
needs the salary TO make living |
should not cut figure. What he has

THE president is not consistent in
his appeal Not long ago he de-
clared that politics is adjourned for
the duration OF the war" Now he APP

congress as essential TO the country's

CURRENT COMMENT.

DREsIDENT WILSON'S statement
that he wants Democratic con-
gress Is not surprise TO the country.
The president stands by his party even
tho at critical times his party has wa
vered in supporting him. Mr.. Wilson's
reasons for desiring Democratic con-
gress may be numerous, but chiefly he
wants il because he feels party OBJ
legation. The Democrats in Congress
have caused him good deal Of grief
ut times when great national Issues
were at stake, but, after all, the Dem
ocratic party nominated him for presi-
dent. The presidents appeal viii not
win any Republican votes. 1t is not
necessary that there should be Demo-
cratic congress. Whatever measures
To win the war the president may ask
OF congress he will get from Re
publican congress. and we know that
one or two such measures II he asks
them. specifically as war measures, he
will not get from Democratic con-
gross Emancipation Of women is one.
The Republican loyalty record is one
that makes II impractieable for the
Democrats to make a campaign for
Democratic congress for the sake Of
the war. so the president has had to
step In and use his personal and Of
ficial influence, The fact is that u
the Democratic war record under Lin
coin had been equal 10 the Republican
war record under Wilson. the Demo
cratic party. following 81. would not
have remained out Of power and out
