action OF Fuel Administrator Garfield
does not inspire this confidence; in
fact, 1t tends to destroy the confidence
that already existed. OF the order
closing practically all industries east
of the Mississippi river to relieve the
alleged coal shortage, the New York
Times, democratic paper which has
consistently supported the president,
says:
is but one instance, 1t is a confession
of failure There has been failure in
other high posts, notably in the sup
plying of munitions, clothing and
equipment to the troops here and
abroad. OF the speech of men in this
country today these things are the
chief theme They are the cause of
public apprehension, there is fear that
we may fail to meet the just expecta-
ton of our allies, that the aid we have
promised will be deferred, will fall far
below what they have right to ask,
what this powerful nation should give.
And now, before We have become an
lactive participant in the war, we are
called upon to put up with priyations
who were called to arms three and
one-half years ago. The American
people know where the fault lies.
They expect the president to find the
remedy"
The New York World, generally re-
garded as the greatest and most in
fluencial democratic newspaper of the
porter of President Wilson, says Of
Garfeld's order:
Mr. Gartield's plan to increase the
supply of coal by shutting up the
| United States is an act of folly and
panic for which there is no precedent,
We can not imagine what Mr.. Garfield
was thinking Of when he issued this
order, nor can we understand why
President Wilson permitted him to Is-
sue it. The order in itself is con-
fession of incompetency. There can
be no more damning indictment of a
fuel administration than the whole
sale suspension of industry on ac-
count of temporary shortage of coal

any other

ADDISON SMITH TO HAVE NO
OPPOSITION.

According to representative republi-
can newspapers in south Idaho, Con-
gresham Addison T. Smith will be
renominated without opposition. This
is gratifying news to the republicans
of the entire state and is in line with
the custom that has become an I'M
written law in older states, namely,
to retain representatives in congress
who have made good not merely as a
compliment to them, but because their
experiences has increased their USE
fulness and influence which enables
them to serve their state and country
more effectively.
From this view point which is the
correct one, Addison n. Smith should
continue to be his own successor fer
many terms, for no state has a more
faithful representative. His long res
ldence in the national capital has Civ
en- him wide acquaintance among
public men and an intimate knowl-
edge with legislative and department
al procedure Each year finds him
better prepared to deal with large
public questions and to accomplish de-
finite results in behalf of his constit
tents. To lose his services at the
close of the present term would lie
to the entire state.

aSEDITlOUS" CONDUCT OF COL
ROOSEVELT.

Senator Stone, the "gumshoe" states
changed from paciflst, that degen-
crate breed so dear to the heart Of
the kaiser, to a defender of the ad-
ministration from alleged partisan at
lacks by republicans, addressing him.
self particularly to Colonel Roosevelt,
whom he designates as "the most sed-
itious man of consequence in Ameri-
ca" To those who have followed
the career Of Senator Stone. both be-
fore and since the war was declared
against Germany, this charge Is nulli-
fed in the light of the brilliant, brave
and patriotic attitude of Colonel
Roosevelt from the hour that Belgium
was ravished by the hordes of Huns
down to this time when the American
people are aroused over the incompet-
ency and inaction of those in national
authority. But let us see what Col
onel Roosevelt has said that has ex-
cited the wrath of "Gumshoe Bill"
and Stirred the enmity of the admins
tration for which he assumes to speak.
Here is a sample of his comment on
our war preparations, every word Of
which is substantially verified by the
official investigation by the senate
committee on military affairs:
1T will be quite impossible to get
at all the facts of our unprepared-
ness. Most officers will be very
reluctant to testify to the whole truth
They know that they will suffer If
they do, because they have seen the
punishment inflicted by the admins
tration on Major General Wood for
the sole reason that he dared to tell
the truth about our shortcomings, and
dared to advocate preparedness in adj
vance. For this reason / am not at
liberty to quote the generals, colonies,
captains and lieutenants of the artil-
lery, infantry, medical corps and quar-
termaster corps who have told me of
their troubles with unheated hospitals.

clothes in winter weather, lack of

officer from my speaking of them.

saw them drilling with wooden ma
chine guns as late as the beginning
of December, l saw barrels mounted
on sticks on which Jealous captains
were endeavoring to teach their men
to ride horse l saw in the national
army camps in Illinois and Ohio scores
of wooden cannon. Doubtless any
man can see them now if he goes
there.
THE excellent officers in the camps
are as rapidly as possible remedying
these deficiencies. ! hope and be-
lieve that by spring they will all be
remedied. But let our people not for
get that for one year after Germany
went to war with us we were wholly
unable to defend ourselves and oweo
our safety to the English and French
ships and armies.

DEMOCRATS STARTED 1T.
(Missoulian,)

IL ought to be well understood that
the responsibility for turning this war
into a political shambles in congress
must rest with the democrats who
hred the first gun through Senator
stone. The republicans have not made
a party issue Of the war. Their votes
on various administration bills prove
that the president has had their most
cordial support in both houses of con-
gress. A strict party vote has not
oeen taken during the war. Stone is
the man who has started the fire. and
the republican senator's will be little
less than human, If they sit quiet un-
der this fusilade Of democratic brick
bats.

PROSPECT OF AN INTERESTING
DEMOCRATIC FIGHT.

Before the death of Senator Brady
1t was understood that ex- Governor
Hawley would be the democratic can
didate for senator this fall to succeed
Senator Borah. 1t was also understood
that Senator Nugent and other demo-
cratic aspirants had buried their am
billions for the time being In order to
give the democratic grand old man"
a clear field AS a matter of fact, this
display of generosity toward the vet
eran democrat was nothing more than
confession that the democrats of
hope to beat Borah, otherwise there
would have been no such display of
self sacrifice. So the democratic nom
nation was conceded to Hawley. OF
course If 1t had been the real desire
of the faithful to honor Hawley with
the senatorship, the death of Senator
Brady presented the opportunity. Gov
ernor Alexander was one of those SEN
atorial aspirants who eliminated hinf-
self from the race In behalf of Haw-
ley when the only chance was in the
defeat of Borah. How sincere he was
in furthering the ambition of Hawley
was shown in his appointment of Nu-
gent to fill the Brady vacancy.
But Hawley does not propose to
permit himself to be sidetracked in
the fight for senatorial honors. Ad-
hitting his disappointment at not re-
ceiving the appointment from Gov
ernor Alexander, when asked If he
would be a candidate for senator this
fall, he replied;
Il certainly will. see no reason
why the action of the governor in
choosing the successor to the late
Senator Brady should influence me in
that regard
Il had expected to be a candidate
for the long term; but as the matter
stands, l will be candidate for the
short term, and will use every en-
deavor to obtain the nomination and
secure the election. To do otherwise
would be a distinct disappointment to
the many friends who have stood by
me up to the present. time and will ex-
pect me to be candidate"
Naturally Senator Nugent will be a
to succeed himself, which
will be for the unexpired term of SEN
ator Brady. Senator Hawley says
that that is the term he will seek also.
so the two rivals for leadership of the
Idaho democracy will be opposing can
didates. And it will be a real fight. |
Hawley was defeated by Senator Bra
dy in the first popular election of a
senator IN TINS state. Nugent was |
in the democratic primary
and was overwhelmingly defeated by |
Hawley for the nomination. The fact
hat Hawley was the Unsuccessful
candidate against Brady, and that he
defeated Nugent for the nomination.
we're urged as reason for his APP
continent to fill the vacancy, but
without avail. Hawley now sees the
Implicitly of the democratic leaders in
irving him an open field when success
depended upon the defeat of Senator
8orah, and in entering the contest this

After going one hundred per cent
patriotic in the Fourth as we'll as
other Liberty loans, more Liberty
bonds have been purchased by labor
ers and shopmen in the local Rock
Island shops. Eleven thousand dol
lars worth of the government secu-

called by Division superintendent H.

In behalf of the company, Mr..
Sanders and r. A. Rider, master me-
chanic, who addressed the meeting,
expressed their appreciation for the
patriotic spirit and attitude shown
by the men in the Liberty loan
drives. They asked if there were
anyone in the audience who felt as
though his financial condition could
permit the purchase of more bonds:
that if so, they would delight in tax
ing the subscriptions. A quick re-
sponse followed and eleven thousand
dollars worth of bonds we're sold to
the men
A total of over fifty thousand dol
lars worth of Fourth Liberty loan
bonds are now owned by Chickasha
