Quite a few of the railroads are

ordinary number of players in the

the batting and fielding departments
indicate the grade of ball that Hill

ASYLUM SHOULD BE
INVESTIGATED.

A shocking story comes from the
asylum for the insane at Blackfoot,
one that compares with German in
humanity, and which calls for a
searching investigation and reform of
that state institution. Governor Alex
ander Is strong on Investigations when
there is political advantage to be gain
ed; let us see what he will do in this
case In which the heart of devoted
mother was crushed by the news that
her unfortunate son, an inmate Of that
asylum, had died and had been buried
for weeks without one word being sent
to her by those in authority. Through
an accident when child son of Mrs.
Elizabeth Hanson, of Rexburg, receiv-
ed an injury which prevented his men,
tai development, and several years ago
he was placed in the asylum at Black
foot. Last Christmas, as was her GUS
tom, Mrs Hanson sent her son a pack
age in the hope that this home remem-
brance would in q measure brighten
his clouded mind. Failing to receive
an acknowledgment, she wrote to the
institution to learn the cause. The
answer was a shock that was sufficient
to unbalance normal mind. 1t stat
ed that her son had died two weeks
before and had been buried in the
cemetery at the institution. The moth
er had received no notice of her sons
illness, and, according to the news ac-
count, the only excuse the superin-
tendent could offer was that he had
no knowledge of the boys home or rel
atives. The body was exhumed and
taken to Rexburg for burial
The people of Idaho would like to
know more about this case. They
would like to know If it is the rule to
receive unfortunates in that institu-
ton like cattle in a corral, without
record of where they come from or
heir family connections. This case
suggests that there are probably other
matters In connection with the treat
nent of inmates of the Blackfoot in
titution not in accord with modern
humane ideas, and it is the duty of
he governor to make searching in
estigation.

HANDLING OUR GOVERNMENT IS
NOT A ONE-MAN JOB.

Prior to the establishment of Ameri-
can independence the nations of the
earth were governed chiefly by single
individuals or by small groups, either
self-appointed or established by claim
of divine right" Government by laws
enacted by representatives chosen by
popular vote was practically unknown.
The system of government in force
ceedingly unsatisfactory, so the franz
ers of the American constitution set
up government of three co ordinate
branches, each constituting check
upon the others The creation of a con-
gress was an expression of lack of con-
hdence in the ability of any one man
to run a government as 1t ought to be
run. The establishment of courts
whose judges serve for life was also
an expression of lack of confidence in
an executive who has control over the
judges. In the century and a quarter
since our constitution was adopted,
we have seen no reason to abandon
the system of checks and balances. In
view of these facts, 1t is hardly In or
der for President Wilson to object to
the creation of congressional COM
nittee on war expenditures on the
ground that 1t is an expression Of lack
II confidence in him. Our whole sys-
EN- of government is an expression of |
ack of confidence in either him or |
my other one man as unrestrained |
uler of the American people.

"OUR PRESENT AND IMMEDIATE TASK"

That confusion continues, and Mr.. Ba-
ker, whose passion for peace has par
alyzed the effective prosecution of our
preparations for military operations,
remains at the head of our depart
ment of war
This is but an outline of an intoer-
able situation which can not be cur
ed by diplomatic drives upon Germany
or by the most eloquent declarations
OF purpose. The power to enforce our
purpose is all that can justify our de-
claration, and to enforce it before the
issues are decided against us by the
armed might of our foe.
The president has spoken and has
been heard around the world. He
must now act to bring order and eff
cheney in his own house. The higher
coordination Of our war organization
must come. 1t can be brought about
only by a superior war council, free
from entanglements or preoccupations
and fully empowered. And at the head
or our department of war must be
placed man incapable of the course
adopted by Newton d. Baker. Only
through such changes can we summon
every power and resource we possess,
whether of men, of money or of ma
terials," and devote them to "our pres
ent and immediate task" of winning
the war.

the senate. not one has shown dis
position to hazard contest with
Borah for the nomination. The va
cancy caused by the death Of Senator
Brady opens the way for these aspir-
ants to enter the race for the coveted
honor, and 1t is certain that there will
be several candidates from both north
and south Idaho. Senator Borah will
OF course be renominated for the long
term.
With only one vacancy to fill and
Senator Borah the republican candi-
date, the democratic candidate, who
ever he might be, was confronted with
almost certain defeat, and it was
therefore not question Of who OF the
faithful should have the honor of the
nomination, but rather who would be
the martyr to make the sacrifice
While 1t is not regarded that Borah's
reelection is seriously jeopardized,
nor the election Of his running mate
whoever he may be, still republicans
should recognize that the election of
two senators presents the matter in
quite a different light and appeals to
the party to bring out it's strongest
man for the short term. The posi-
bility of gaining two democratic sena-
tors from the republican state of Ida
no will not be minimized by the ad-
ministration and it may be depended
upon that its full power will be exer-
clsed in behalf of the democratic can
didates, regardless of the plea of the
president to eliminate partisan poll
tics from the senatorial elections.
Coupled with this will be all the press
ure and influence of the state admin
istration. The Non Partisan alliance
is another factor to be reckoned with,
and no one knows Its strength, nor on
which side of the political fence it Is
going to light.
The republicans of the nation are
going to make determined effort to
gain control of both houses of con
gress, and 1t is therefore UP to the re-
publicans of Idaho to do their bit in
obtaining that result by preventing a
break in the republican representation
from this state.

WHAT JOSEPHuS HAS COST THE
GOVERNMENT.

After he had spent some months and
no little money in the experiment of
building U-boat chasers, the secretary
of the navy turned to destroyers as the
best weapon against the submarine on

created to build the destroyers which
hn now wants, that advances had to be
made from the treasury to insure the
building of these new plants, that pri-
ority of shipment had to be granted to
the new yards-and that $500, 200. 900

M'ADoo's APPOINTMENT.
(Missoulian)

|
The appointment of Mr.. McAdoo to
the dictatorship of railroads has not
aroused enthusiasm. On the contrary,
there has been much bitter criticism
that has not always been outspoken.
Mr.. McAdoo is now secretary of the
treasury. He is chairman of the fed
eral reserve bank system, chairman of
the federal loan board and chairman
of the national high commission. 1t
would seem to the casual observer,
that these various offices would pro-
vide sufficient activity for Mr. McAdoo
during his working hours. The presi-
dent has left the inference that the
director generalship of railroads has
been created to give central author
ity rather than as purely adminstra-
tive Office.
Nevertheless there seems to us
sound basis for the criticism that Mr..
McAdoo's inexperience in transporta-
ton matters was sufficient reason alone
for the appointment of another man.
1t is well understood that Mr.. Nc
Adoo Is a candidate for the democratic
presidential nomination. 1t would be
poor observer who would not guess
that the president, in thrusting this
new responsibility upon his son law
would not be suspected of promoting
Mr.. McAdoos presidential ambitions
The appointment has the unpleasant
look of endeavoring to make Mr. Nc
Adoo such an outstanding ard power
full figure that other candidates will be
dwarfed in the public eye.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-01-24

Before the government has hardly
begun to operate the railroads, Di-
rector General McAdoo Is out with a
statement that the government will re-
tain control after the war until con-
gress enacts laws governing their
future operation. There is no more
reason why the government should
continue operation of the railroads af-
ter the war than there is for it to re-
tain possession of other private prop
for war purposes, and the proposal of
Mr.. McAdoo is certain to meet most
determined opposition.
