A SPOKANE PAPER
TELLS THE TRUTH

The Spokane Chronicle admits
that Spokane officials are negli-
gent in the following editorial:
THE Spokane Chamber Of
Commerce has spent many
thousands of dollars in seeking
friendly relations with nearby
towns, sending men out to preach
the gospel of cooperation, and
circulating tons of literature.
"The Spokane Merchants as
sociation has sent members
thousands of miles on various
excursions to express Spokane's
willingness to work with outside
towns in building a strong trade
and industrial structure in the
Inland Empire.
To-day all this work is rapidly
being undOne. While the city has
not changed its attitude one whit,
the feeling of friendship is being
displaced by feeling of resent
ment. The l. w. w. is directing
from Spokane a campaign Of dis
organization and terror in nearby
industrial and farming centers !;
and Spokane can not point to one
recent act by which it has at
tempted to throw the organiza-
tiOn out. One vigorous, honest
effort to close the l. w. w. Offices
here, even if the effort failed
would at least lessen the stigma.
But this city can not yet point to
such an effort-it remains the
81. w. w. Heaven"
So far as is visible from the
troubled towns of north Idaho,
city, county, and federal officials
of Spokane haNe not spent one
minute in really framing an at
tack on the I. w. w. agitatoPs
who scatter trouble and disloyal-
ty from this city. So far as these
towns are able to judge the rental
received from the l. w. w. for
its hall and district Offices is
worth more than the friendship
Of a score of nearby communi-
ties"
1t is evident that the true spirit
oe Spokane is to tear down the
surrounding towns, through the

RANGE LAW IS HELD
TO BE CONSTITUTIONAL


The Idaho law prohibiting
the herding of sheep on pub
lie lands, used as a cattle
range, was declared consti-
tutional by the supreme
court, thus affirming lower
courts.
The above case referred to is
that of the state of Idaho versus
Secumbino Omaechebviaria, and
which originated in Owyhee
county, passed through the Third
judicial district court and the
supreme court of this state, both
of which are sustained in the rul-
ing of the supreme court of the
United States. 1t is a case on
which the sheep and cattlemen
.of Idaho lined up on opposite
sides and involved the constitu-
.tionality of an Idaho statute
known as the priority range law,
which prohibits the running of
sheep on a range that has been
or is being used as a cattle range,
and on which the cattlemen are
given "a priority right to Craze
their stock.
The defendants were arrested
on the charge of running sheep
on cattle range. The sheepmen
decided TO make a test case out
of the issue involved, claiming
the right TO use Of the range and
asserting that the cattlemen have
no priority. Recently Attorney
General Walters went to Wash
ington, where the case was ar
eued. IL attracted considerable
attention there at that time. The
sheepmen and cattlemen paid for
the costs of testing out the issue.
The decision of the supreme
court settles definitely that sheep
men cannot run their sheep on
cattle range which has been used
for the grazing of cattle, when
the fact has been established and
lif they do they are violating a
statute of this state and will be
prosecuted. There are a number
of similar cases pending before
the supreme court of this state
involving the same issues.

A PROUD DISTINCTION

1t was a happy thought on the part
Of the managers Of the great patriotic
meeting yesterday that caused the Sc
lection Of Mr.. c. c. Smith for chairman.
Mr.. Smith is a modest citizen. He Is
rot an orator, though ahundantly able
to use the English language effectively.
He could hardly be called one Of our
captains of industry or finance, but his
part is something greater than any Of
these.
His is the proud distinction to have
given to the cause Of America, and the
cause OF world-freedom four stalwart
sons, all Of whom have served with
great credit to themselves and to tho
community which is proud of them.
John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Came
sic and Henry Ford. with their mill
lions, render no such service. The
sturdy young manhood Of America is
its priceless treasure. Compared with
that all else is droSS.

A FINE PUBLIC SERVICE

In nominating Hon J. =. Sommer-
vile for the position on The bench
made vacant by the death of Judge II.
E. Hervey he Republicans Of tho
First judicial district have taken the
lead in d unique and interesting pro-
ceeding. We have had instances OF
judicial candidates nominated by both
parties. This very high honor has
been conferred upon number OF
Judges OF this circuit. They have been
Republicans, as rule. for years. and
Democrats. realizing the fr,tility Of OPP
position. have a number or times
given them the compliment OF indorse-
ment
The action taken Saturday, however,
was entirely different in character. In
a district that is overwhelmingly Re-
publican. in which Republican nomi-
nation is ordinarily equivalent to an
election. 4 distinguished Democrat
who. while MOI bitter partisan. has
never made Il secret OF his party af-
filiations. is unanimously nominated
fcr he ciruit judseship. This action.
moreover. is taken by Republicans in
advance Of the nomination by the
Democrats Of the district. II goes
without saving, no doubt, that Mr.
Sommerville will be the nominee OF
his party, and will therefore be on
beth party tickets The high signif-
canoe Of this nomination is that the
majority party took the initiative in
nominating & member of the minority
party. and took this action not for
PARTISAN or personal reasons. but
solely for the purpose Of assuring to
tho citizenship Of the First district a
continuance Of the high standard OF
service and the high ideals that have
for years made conspicuous the bench
in this district After this splendid
evidence Of fine public spirit and high
appreciation o. the bench. We may
venture to hope that the iudceshins
in this circuit will never be made the
spoils Of party warfare. This district
has been very fortunate in the men
who have served it on the bench. In
Judges Addleman and Sommerville We
vii! have two worthy successors to
Tho splendid lawyers whose services
have reflected so much honor on the
bench and the bar Of the circuit

THE BULGAR PEACE PLEA

While the request OF Bulgaria for an

The fact is that the allies cannot make

that will be very grerious to her. The
