SAYS NOTE IS TRAP.
Huns Make no Oher Of ReparatiOn
and Still are Impertinent; COntinu-
ing Ruthlessness.

Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts
Republican leader, in a statment
Tuesday branded Germany's latest
note as a clumsy trap, awkwardly
set, to involve US in diplomatic dis
cussions" and said if it is answered at
all. it should be with demands only
for unconditional surrender.
1T seems to be unbelievable" said
Senator Lodge, that anyone should
be taken in by the last German note.
1t is vanished over with a little false
fattery, directed TO the president and
the people of the United States, which
can deceive no one. It will not bear
the slightest analysis.
They desire to discuss details.
What they call details are the vital
issues Of the war. No attention need
be given their denial of illegal and
inhumane actions. Only a day or two
ago they took $1,000 women and girls
out of Lille when they abandoned that
city. Is that a military act, in accord
ance with International law? They
wish to refer the destruction of our
women and children on the Lusitania
10 a neutral commission. The Ameri-
can people do not intend to have the
decision of any commission on such a
question as that. The American peo-
pie have o forgotten the direction
of the German minister at Buenos
Aires to sink and leave no trace
No Word OF ReparatiOn.
"Of reparation-and it must be very
large-there is not a word.
"Of course all they say about
changing their government is pure
camoufage. There has been no cleo
ton in Germany. 1t is the same ole
reichstag. governed by the same
forces and interests.
The presidents reply to the Aus
trian note was complete and univer
sally approved. 1 do not think there
should be any reply TO this German
note, but if there is let it be simply
that we demand the same terms which

u among the people, than any 9TH
er factor now tolerated by law in the
United States.
Fourth: Because our government
has done more within the past decade
to advance the interest of agriculture
and aid the farmer, than has been
done in all its years put together to
foster any other vocation or aid those
devoted to it; and because the State
of Idaho has. both under Republican
and Democratic administration of
past years, granted every reasonable
request made by the farmers for pro-
gressive legislation and administra-
ton; the Nonpartisan League has no
justifiable reason for existence. and
its continuance under the pretense
that it is for the betterment of the
farmer. is an insult to our present
State and National Government, and
the better reason of our citizenship.
Fifth: If the League is supported by
a paid-up membership it claims. it
has collected from the farmers of
Idaho more than half as much money
as was required to pay the expenses
of our State administration, including
legislative and judicial, for the year
1917, and can give nothing to the
farmer in return that he does not al
ready possess, except the privilege
Of being dictated to by a %self-consti-
tuted leader who made a failure of his
own business affairs.

Boise, Oct. IS, 1918.
Mr.. n. P. Hansen,
Dear Sir:-In response to your re-
quest for my reasons for opposing the
Nonpartisan League and its propagan-
da, permit me to say first, that those
who know me and my record as
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives and State Director Of Farm Mar
kets, could not be honestly consistent
ia an effort to cOnstrue my criticism
OF the League and its leadership, as
indicating opposition to the thousands
of honest farmers and labOring men
who constitute the great majority OF
the League membership, for they
know too well that l have been ever
consistently engaged in their inter
est; and I challenge them to name a
mar who has been more active or ac-
complished more in their behalf. than
I have done in the brief period Of time
it has been my honor and pleasure tc
serve them in official capacity.
believe that the foundation upon
(which 1 base my opposition to the
League is undisputed fact. Briefly
stated those reasons are:
First: It's leaders, chief organizer;
and propagandists are composed OF
pro-Germans and the most radical so
cial element obtainable from Other
States and our own State. selected L
further its interests It has attracted
10 it's following, almost without eX
ception. all those of pro-German ten

and those who are not in sympath.
with this war-the greatest and mos
righteous struggle ever waged for hu
manity. 1t does not represent thu
best interest of the honest farmer, ant
he has no voice or power by which h
may guide its purposes or prevent 1t
evil tendencies.
Second: Those who become candi
dates for political preferment b,
choice of this League, are pledged I
be guided by its dictates, rather tha-
the common good Of the people who's
servants they should become; and it
means are applied and its policie

OF state. whose designs we hav
right to question because their loyal
ty is a matter Of controversy.

And he crowed at the top Of his
lungs to let everyone know he was
happy and proud and pleased.

"I cannot help it." said Mr.. Plym-

Have you ever seen my cousins,
the Columbian Wyandottes?" asked
Mr.. White WyandOtte.
Il am not sure that I have; are they

"They have black and white around
their collars, and their tails. Their
tails spread out like gorgeous plumes
and are black and green"

White WyandOtte. And my cousins,

too. All, they are exquisitel They
look as though they had been artis-

All, they're very glorious"
"They must be-" said Mr.. Plymouth
Rock.
well" said Mr.. White W%yandotte.
IT don't think we should find any fault
with the poultry show this year. Every
cousin and every kind Of a Wyandotte
rooster and every kind Of a Plymouth
Rock rooster have won prizes"
"We're the prize winners, as 1 said
before said Mr.. Plymouth Rock. Eyes,
we're the ROSTERS worth going a long
way to see. We can crow with a
feeling of satisfaction. We can crow
because we are entitled to crow. We
have so much to be proud Of. So
much, so much" he repeated.
And then he crowed, and Mr.. White
Wyandotte crowed, as well as all Of
their cousins. Such a noise as they
made, but indeed they all were beau
tiful ROSTERS and certainly had Won
many fine prizes.
"GoOd-by for the present" said Mr.
White Wyandotte, my master is let.
ting me out of my coop for a little
walk. l need a bit Of exercise. And

Mr.. Plymouth Rock.
To be sure, where there weren't a
great many people walking, Mr.. Ply.
mouth Rock and Mr.. White Wyan
dOtte strutted along by their masters
wabbling a bit from side to side, but
oh, so proud at their monstrous size
and their beautiful feathers.
"We're all prize winners, cock-a'
dOodle-do, cock-a-dOOdle-do," the roost
ers Of these two families shouted above
all the others.
But many of the other roosters
thought they were just as handsome
and the noise that came from the bis
hall where the poultry show was held
was quite terrific. But at least al
who wanted to see roOsters knew fol-

NoNPARTIsAN LEAGUE OF IDAHO
Dear Sir:

In answer to your letter asking whether or not the
League is planning on fusing with the old parties in the
coming campaign, we nave to advise that no one is able to
say just what the League Will do. The state convention Of
the League, which will meet in July, will be absolutely
a law unto itself. Tt can follow Whatever course it sees
fit. no one is in position to say just what the League
will do until the delegates selected by the various coun-
1t lis reasonable to suppose, however, that the dele
gates will profit by the expert ences the League went
through in the first North Dakota campaign and in this
years North Dakota and Minnesota campaign, when the con
Vention decided without question that the course to pursue
was to step in and take over one or the other Of the old
parties. This does not mean fusion in the sense that your
letter indicates, but simply means the taking over Of the
party machinery.
then goes into the general election with an added strength
of Is 900 to &c, 900 votes that it could not figure on by
any other procedure, it being recognized by everybody that
there is q vote Of from Is 900 to 1000 in each Of the
two predominat5 old parties which always vote for that
party bindly. AS q consequence, any man who is nominated
poll that Is, 900 or 20 900 blind Ignorant vote. This
strength, added to the regular League vote that the candi-
date can depend on, makes the election Of the League can
didates assured.
Experience has shown that a third party movement is
generally doomed to failure. It is quite likely therefore
that the delegates attending the state convention Of the
League will decide that good political sense will dictate
the Following out Of the plan pursued in North Dakota and
Minnesota.
