A SMALL ACT

AS the Leader-Herald views il the
bringing of coffin onto the stage at
the Nonpartisan convention labeled
"Hawley Nonpartisan League" was a
small and childish thing even though
Mr.. Hawley were deserving of the
humiliation that is sought to bring
upon him. The buffoonery might
well have been left out.
Going further. what is Mr.. Haw-
ley's offense? What great crime has
he committed that he should be made
the butt OF ridicule before the people
of Idano?
The Leader-Herald has scanned
the pages of the press for this infor-
nation In vain. The only charge so
far seen is that he has accepted work
from the Idaho Power Company.
There is no evidence, there is no
charge even that he has ever at
tempted to influence legislation or
committed any act as attorney for
such corporation that would not bear
the clsest scrutiny.
Jas. II. Hawley for more than hall
a century has been resident of Ida.
no. During all that time he has lab
ored for the upbuilding of the com
monwealth. Everybody knows thai
he has spent, in that time, thousands
OF dollars of his own money for the
public good. Not a single small
mean act can be laid against him
Amidst the unfavorable surrounding
of the pioneer, by hard work alone
he has risen 10 prominence IN hi

SIZE OF ARMY CAMPS AND
CANTONMENTS Is INCREASED

More than s22. 100000 have been
expended during the past six months
under the direction of the Construc-
tion Division of the Army in making
additions and improvements to camps
and cantonments. This sum does not
include the cost of additions to the
hospital equipments or the improve
ments made at other Army stations.
The Improvement work consisted
of additional buildings for housing
the men and providing for their COM
forts and needs. Among buildings
erected we're quartrs for officers and
nurses, repair shops, additional bar
racks. embarrassing plants, kitch-
ems and bakeries. and theaters. New
roads were laid and sanitation work:
improved and extended.
Many additional buildings are con
templated. and general construction
work will be rushed to completion
during the summer and fall. In SOM
instances the camp work has been ex
tended to drainage of an entire dis

that this honor should be limited to

fathers. sons, husbands. and brothers
may be represented on the service nag
whether going directly to the service
from the particular household or not
.but that those not so related, as foi
instance cousins. nephews. etc, mus
have actually been a part of th'
household and gone in to the service
from such household"

suggestion that no club or organiza

NEWSPAPER ANNOYANCES

Here is something you might stick
in your hatband: "If / owned news
paper. what / would say in ii just
now would be a plenty" remarked z
man the other day.
He was invited to write what he
wanted to say, with the assurance
that would be printed If his sigma
ture accompanied 1t.
He very promptly declined the ten
der, remarking that sit would hurt
his business. There are a lot of
people willing, anxious in fact, for
things to be said In the newspaper
providing they hurt the business of
somebody else and not their own.
What newspaper has not had this
very same experience with this very
same yellow tadpole of a citizen who
sputters and sputters about what
ought to be printed in a newspaper
and what ought to be omitted. And
vet when you invite the coward to be
responsible for the manuscript he
wants you to publish, he whines like
sick dog. skulks behind this pre-
text and that and wobbles out OF the
Office with a crouch.
That is not all. He writes in tha
he will stop his paper if you dom
print what he himself won't sign
Yet If you were to suggest TO hin
that his threat to stop his paper Il
pure and simple coercion through ;
threat of blackmail he would VOW
like a tom cat with his tail steppe'

The fellow who threatens to sto
his paper is trying to do the news
paper in a small way the very thin
that he would condemn as crimina
IN a corporation that tried in an
way to throttle the free 1om of tn
press. Threatening to stop the pape
is an attempt at intimidation.
But it is worse than that. Threa
ening to stop the paper is COMES

part of the delinquent subscriber tn;
