were classed by Ray McKaig as pro-
per subjects for internment during
the period of the war for alleged at
tempting to array class against class.
McKaig wanted the convention to
petition President Wilson to intern
them. Hawley is prominent law
yer and J. A. McDevitt is a we'll
known business man.
1t is now claimed that o. e. Can
non of Weiser expected the indorse-
ment of the league as a Republican
candidate for governor and that at
the last moment switch was made.
He was then offered the nomination,
but on the Democratic ticket, so the
story goes, and refused. 1t is limited
that Cannon may yet be candidate
| for governor on the Republican
ticket and that he may be given
many league votes. This report,
however, has not been verified. 1t
it talked of in political circles here.
W. G. ScholtZ, who was named presi-
dent and general manager of the
league, was offered the guberna-
torial nomination, but declined to
take it.
Republican leaders declare that
the action of the league makes clear
sailing for the Republican party at
the primary, for it's candidates will
be nominated as known Republicans
who will receive the solid support of
the Republican electors. They claim
that the Republican vote, especially
at primary election, is much larger
than that of the Democratic party,
which is a fact. While Senator
Atherton of Twin Falls is an an
nounced Republican candidate for
governor. D. w. Davis of Ameri-
can Falls, who gave Governor Alex
ander close race two years ago,
will enter the contest and probably
be nominated. The Republicans are
accusing the Democrates of manipu-
lating clever politics in getting the
league support in deciding to go into
the Democratic primaries
The Democrats on he other hand,
declare they cannot understand why
the Republican leaders, after giving
in to the leaguers on the state water
power monopoly plank, permitted
the Nonpartisans to swing into the
Democratic party with its candidates.
They say it is apparent the Republic
cans thought they had the league
votes tied on this plank, but the
knot slipped and the game they ex-

1t is now conceded that the rea-
son the Nonpartisans decided to try
and nominate their candidate for
governor in the Democratic primary
was on the theory the primary vote
of the Democratic party is smaller
than that of the Republicans, and
by swinging solid league vote into
the primary behind their guberna-
torial candidate they could put him
across; that the Democrats would
either back their candidate or, in
the event they did not, would bring
out several candidates against him,
thereby dividing their strength.

SINN FEINERS
NOW PARADE
AT FUNERALS

Dublin, June 17.-(Correspondenc -
Now that all professions and outdoor
meetings have been banned In Dublin.
the Sim Feiners have taken to parades
at funerals, to which it is obviously
difficult and undesirable to apply the
prohibition.
Sunday is a great day for funerals in
all parts of Ireland and scores of long
and picturesque funeral professions
may be seen every Sabbath making
their way through the Dublin streets,
some of them consisting of 50 or more
vehicles of all kinds, but principally
jauntins cars each containing FIVE or
six friends of the deceased.
A great display was made by the Sim
Feiners at the funeral of James Francis
Cullen. a young man who took part in
the 1916 rebellion.
Cullen was sentenced by court martial
to 10 years penal servitude suisse
quently committed to FIVE wears. for an
active if minor part in the rebellion
and he was released from Lewes Jail
under the general amnesty in MAY last
His funeral procession included nearly
5000 members Of the Sim Fem Nolun-
teers, who followed him to his grave in
the Fenian Circle in Glasnevin.
The procession through the streets
drew large crowds OF sympa thizers. It
was wisely ignored by the military and
the police. The Sim Fein paraders
with equal wisdom, refrained from
pressing any direct challenge. such as
marked the funeral of Thomas Ashe last
year when firing party. following mil
itary usage, carried reversed rifles.
In Cullen's funeral procession no
arms were seen, and it was not until
the rites had been completed at the
grave side that a small party produced
revolvers and fired a military salute
The crowd dispersed quietly and an
event which had given rise 70 some ap-
prehensions passed off with ordernness

While that great victory" may
have a tendency to revive the sinking
spirits of the kaiser's subjects, it was
far from complete from a German
standpoint. Why? Well. because no
babies were included in the list Of
those murdered. Bombing hospitals
and churches and sinking hospital
ships are all in the days work, but it
is only when such acts involve the
murder of helpless children that they
mark the end of perfect day.-Bld-

Lenathen Life Of Leather

Have her send boots, leather, iron
and money" This is said to have
been the answer of kerensky to the
question, What can America do to
help Russia" and all other advices
from that unhappy country bear wi
ness to the urgent need for footgear.
In Russia you have to hold a permit
to buy shoes, and you have to wait
in line, perhaps all night, at the en-
trance to the store. The price is SO
high that not even a prosperous man
thinks of buying a pair of shoes for
his own exclusive use. Several per
sons club together in making such
purchase. and then they take turns
in wearing them at times when they
want to look particularly well. At
others they wear any old foot cover
ing they are able to get hold of.
The case of Russia is extreme, but
in lesser degree all the European
belligerents, and neutrals as well, arr
suffering for footgear. In England.
Italy and France the government has
assumed the responsibility Of shoeing
the people, and is putting on sale
standard shoes at fixed prices. In
our own country we have not yct
I n ac-
these but the prices of leather and
footgear have risen enormously.
The demands Of warfare for leather
are enormous for not only must the
millions of fighting men be shod. bu.
there is a tremendous demand for
harness, gun sings, pistol holsters,
bayonet scabbards and aviation suits
which are sometimes composed al
most entirely of leather.
Leather substitutes are being
sought and at an exhibition in Lon
don flexible wooden soles were shown
A most hopeful contribution to the
problem was suggested by Allen Fog
crs in a paper recently presented be-
fore the New York section of the
American Chemical Society in which
he mentioned a process of treating sole
leather which almost triples it's dur
ability. This was proven by tests or
policemen and mail carriers.

Germany as Thief Of Achievements.

The people who still feel that the
modern chemical warfare as waged
by the Germans is wonderful, in
spite of its righteousness. do not
know how little credit for it is really
due to the Germans. All the big
underlying chemical principles and
laws were discovered by the Allies
and Germany has adopted them, APP
piled them to her unprincipled meth
DDS of warfare. and is now using
them to fight against the Allies.
This subject which is of especial
interest to many members of the
American Chemical Society has been
studied in detail by Prof. TONNES r

and Chemical Markets gives the re.
suits Of his investigations. He says:
