regular hours and time and a half for

says the appearances now indicate that
there will be many more men seeking
employment in few months than there
are jobs and the government asks that
the men who fought for it be given the

Mr.. McAdoo's point that. as living i'll
Washington is standardized today, a man
with family and cabinet position to
year salary, is doubtless well founded.
If stenographers can hardly afford to live
there, what must be the position of
secretary of the treasury? Mr.. McAdoo,
Of course, has made a great pecuniary
sacrifice in remaining in the cabinet, be-
cause Of his rare opportunities to fatten
his income III private life. The story that
in 1916 an insurance company offered
him salary of 100000 year to become
its president is wholly credible. Some of
the biggest banks would now find a
place for him and pay him richly in order
to have the prestige of his name. It is
not likely that he will be forced to re-
open his old law office to earn a living.

The republican party of Idaho now has
what Abe Potash would call "the chance
of lifetime, Mawrus," and it is hoped
they will improve it. The party never
had greater responsibility or more free
dom than now. It has every state officer
and an overwhelming majority of the
legislature. 1t has the chance to give
Idaho the best administration the state
has ever had. If it will rise to the occa-
sion it can make the election of 1926 a
"cinch" for the republican party and put
the eternal kibosh on the nonpartizan
league in this state. If it does what it
promised in the campaign it would do,
Idaho will be safely republican for a
number of years. But on the other
hand, if it fails, it will fall and as in
the case of the biblical house built upon
the sands, great will be the fall thereof.

Now that William G. McAdoo has re-
signed as secretary. of the treasury and
it is the concensus of opinion that he
will not seek the democratic nomination
for president in 1920, he is beginning to
receive some of the praise and expression
of confidence that were withheld from
him by the narrow partizan papers Which |

which never gave him a

greatest man who has filled that very
office" This is following the
