THE U. S. FOR DEMOC-
RACY.

The National League for Popular
Government, which is under the
control of the partisan southern
Democrats, who at home have for
years been fighting popular govern
ment, and have succeeded in putting
the mock in democracy, as evil
denced by the vast reduction in the
number of voters in the states they
dominate, has called a democratic
reconstruction congress to be held
in Washington early in January
Senator Owen and others prominent
in the movements are opposed to the
Weeks bill, which provids for the
participation of representatives of
Congress of both political parties in
the formulation of reconstruction
plans. 1t is supposed that one Of
the plans of the league for Popular
Government is nationalt grand
father clause, basing the franchise
upon ancestry. after the fashion of
the constitutional clause adopted by
Senator Owen and other Oklahoma
Democrats and declared in violation
of a. republican form of govern
ment by the United States Supreme
Court. One of the leading lights
in the Popular Government League
is Representative Pat Harrison, OF
Mississippi. the state in which three
per cent of the population turns out
at the polls on election day. Altho
this organization is called Popular
Government" league, the officers
and bosses have already announced
the decision of the league on the
Weeks bill. without the consent of
the governed.

The one regretable feature of the
Idaho election is the defeat Of Frank
r. Gooding for the United States
senate. For the brave fight he made
In behalf of his state Gooding de-
served to win. For the courage he
displayed he was deserving of bet
ter things at the hands Of the peo-
pie than defeat. But the one big
reason for regreting the defeat of
Mr.. Gooding lies in the fact that
Gooding was needed at this time In
Washington. We need man Of
his type in Washington right now
to help tear the mask from the
democratic administration. and to
help expose the cankering rotten
ness that has eaten at the vitals of
this government DUNG the trying

The Nom Partisan League is just
q plain political machine that is
run for BOSS, by BOSS, and the
members have no say about it. In
IDAHO they tell you that the farmers
named state ticket. That is lie.
The league bosses made up their
slate. perfected their plans. and q
bunch of hypnotized farmers in a
state convention met and went thru
the farce of endorsing the program
already cut and dried by the BOSS.
In Latah county the farmers had
not q word to say about who was
to be nominated as the League leg
islative ticket. The BOSSES did 1t.
"A League organizer dropped into
Moscow. filed q legislative ticket,
and the farmers had nothing to do
about 1t. That is what they call
reform government. And We find
intelligent, patriotic farmers swal-
lowing this bait and making them
selves believe they are throwing off
the yoke Of the old party bosses.
More than this, these farmers pay
these League bosses SIS to boss
them around and blindly follow the
orders of the BOSSES. Any honest
farmer who will stop and think will
not long follow the Townley pro-
cession. nor play into the hands Of
q BOSS.

In this terrible time when the
passion Of men is at q fever heat.
let us not forget to pray God for
more OF the Christ spirit, that we
may have the just attitude towards
others. Pray that our hearts may
be filed with the love of Christ. SO
that we may be able to maintain a
proper poise. For we must not have
in our hearts a savage desire for
vengeance. We must return good
for evil. We must feed our enemies
in Germany and Austria and Tur-
key. We must not permit ourselves
to become anything less than civil
lied being, nor sink to the level Of
cowardly, brutal, selfish foe. All
of which does not close our hearts
to justice, nor prompt that we do
less than meet out justice to Ger
many. But we must not do 1t in
spirit OF revenge. What we do we
do in the spirit of Christ. for the
good of mankind, and the regenera-
ton of Germany herself. God him
self destroys the wicked. So may
the Kaiser and those guilty Of this
terrible war be justly and humanely
destroyed That Germany should
pay for the wanton damage she in
flicted. and indemnify those she has
wronged, Is not out of harmony
with a Christian spirit. Nor is 1t
a lack of Christian spirit to rejoice
that the forces of evil have been de-
throned and utterly destroyed.

The New York Times approves
Presidents Wilson's partisan appeal
for partisan Democratic majority
in Congress. The Times is the news
paper which, upon receipt of the
Burian note. printed an editorial in
favor of a negotiated peace which
brought upon it the denunciation
of the press of the entire country.
David Lewrence, recognized as an
Official White House press agent,
suggested in one Of his articles that
the White House supposed the sug-
gestions of the Times were due to
sinister financial influences which
had reasons for desiring an indie
cisive peace. Dave might come for
ward with an explanation of the in
fiuences which cause the Times to-
approve the present partisan atti-
tude of President Wilson.

We like a good joke, and the fun
niest thing we have heard in many
day is the howl from the Mem
Partisan League leaders in Idaho in
which 1t Is charged that the repuh-
licans spent lot Of money in the
recent campaign. The only placs
we are thoroughly familiar with is
Clearwater county. Here the work
was practically all done by volun-
teer workers. While the League, d.
Ing SO much bowling. had 10 pa Il
trained workers In north Idaho, and
each of these League workers was
supplied with Ford automobile.

Of American politics has any pol,ti-
cal organization collected such large
slush funds 70, campaign purposes.
never has any political organization
been so openly brazen in its at
tempt to deceive the people; never
has any party gone the limit the
League has gone In corrupting the
newspapers of the state. For Tho
League has used its slush funds To
buy newspapers. and has mainta;,,-
ed the only real kept press that
Idaho ever knew. League news
papers are hireling newspapers, AZ
der the control of Townley and mis-
gang; they are not free to do or say
what an honest editor might desire
to say. They do not think; they do
not dare express an independent OPP
inion. They take orders and are
mere echoes of the master minds be-
hind the Townley machine. With
such record the League has the
audacity to assume an injured air
and charge the republicans with the
corrupt use of money to win the
election. The thing that hurts the
Townley crowd is that they were
unable. with the use of their slush
funds, to corrupt the electorate of
Idaho. They could not fool the ma
jority of the voters in Idaho.

1t Is mockery and sham for the
president of the United States to
talk about making the world free
for democracy when he has all but
throttled democracy in the United
States. Where in Germany Is a
newspaper arbitrarily denied the
right of the mail? When did the
kaiser. in all his power, this prince
of autocrats. suspend the rights OF
civil liberty to the citizens of any
province? Under the autocratic,
domineering. egotistical rule of a
democratic emperor, a democratic
ward politician arbitrarily denies
a republican paper the right of the
United States mail, and post office
inspectors. subject to the power of
a democratic patronage machine in
Washington. dare not enforce the
law. and the post laws are made a
joke and a farce. Yet Woodrow
Wilson, with this sort Of thing in
his own government, poses before
the world as the embodiment Of JUS
tice and the essence of enlightened
liberty. We charge the Wilson ad-
ministration with being rotten to
the core, and in practice devoid of
any semblance of justice or fairness.
We charge the Wilson administra-
ton with being pie-dispensing po-
litical ring that has demoralized the
postal service of this nation, and
used the post Office as party proper
ty to reward deserving democrats.
At least that is true in Clear.
