MOTHERS AND THE WAR.
indianapolis Starr

When war mothers, in national
council assembled, unanimously de-
mand that there shall be no peace
until Germany and her allies surren-
der Internationally" that utterance
alone should determine the attitude
of the United States even if there
were tendency elsewhere to a diff
ferent decision. Fortunately our gov
eminent has expressed itself as firm
ly opposed to settlement by nego-
tiation, but the support Of the moth
ers Of soldiers for the policy of COM
plete victory should strengthen its
hands.
1t is not cause for surprise that
these mothers should wish to see the
end gained for which their sons have
been sent abroad. When they saw
them 60 and made no moan where the
world could hear. when they cheered
them on the way and set themselves
to work with all their energies to
help In the war" by making the life
of the soldiers as free from needless
hardships as possible, they gave their

judging from their communications to
Washington. The clearing of all lead
through the committee is believed
here to be having an important bear
ing on making consumers more care
full. Great savings are being made
by curtailing unimportant uses of the
metal. Bird shot, for instance. was
used at the rate of 10000 tons annual
ly during the first six months of 1918.
This is a reduction from $4,000 tons
used in 1917 and $4,000 tons in 1916.
The rate of use of bird shot will be
further reduced during the latter half
of the current year, it is believed.
Pope Yeatman and his staff, who
are in charge of non-ferrous minerals
for the war industries board, are pay
ing particular attention at this time
to the paint problem.

was Governor Gooding who brought
W. D. Haywood, the notorious leader

sentence of twenty years for sedition,
to trial for the murder Of ex-Govern-

fact that Leseuer, the socialist secre-

the types of men who are endeayoring

Gooding has been identified with the
development of the state. He has
won success by hard work, beginning
as a humble homesteader in the
sagebrush desert. He has been an
important factor in transforming
that same desert into vast acres of
productive land and making prosper

VOTE AGAINST CALLING CON
STiTUTioNAL AMENDMENT.

The proposal to call a convention
to revise and amend the constitution
of the state OF Idaho. which viii be
voted upon at the approaching cleo.
ton, should be rejected. The pc pile
of the state are absorbed In war
work and as long as this engages
their attention they have no time to
consider changes in the constitution
AS a matter of fact. Idaho has very
good constitution as it is. one under
which We have lived and prospered
for almost thirty years. 1t was
framed by a body of men who from
the standpoint of intellectual capac-
ity and breadth of vision were, in the
opinion of this paper, far superior to
any gathering of men that would be

larly hazardous to undertake the re-
vision of the constitution at this time,
even If the necessity existed, for the
state is seething with socialism and
disloyal propaganda through the ac-
tivity Of the nonpartisan league, and
it would be practically impossible un-
der these conditions to keep all boil
shevikism out Of the revised instru-
ment No doubt it would be reject
ed by the loyal. level-headed people
of the state, who are still largely in
the majority, but the mere adoption
of radical and revolutionary provi-
sions by the convention would have
most damaging effect upon the
state. The expense of holding con-
stitutional convention would be heavy
and in the absence of any real ne
cessty for 1t, the taxpayers of the
state should see to it that their votes
are recorded against 1t.

According to Boise paper, there
was a strong inclination among mem
bers of the republican central COM
mfttee to appoint w. T. Dougherty,
the present democratic secretary of
state, to fill the vacancy on the ticket
caused by the withdrawal of w. w.
Won Cannon. 1t is this tendency to
trade with the enemy, to place the
spoils of office above party principles,
that weakens and discredits the Or
ganization. 1t is no reflection upon
Mr.. Dougherty to say that we are
pleased that the committee escaped
making this blunder.

FRENCH PROPOSES AN AMEND
MENT TO CONSTITUTION.

Fortunately it is not an easy mat
ter to amend the constitution of the
United States: otherwise the waves
of so-called reform which have peri
odically swept over the country, and
will probably continue to do so until
the end of time, would have long
since rendered that cherished charter
of our rights unacceptable. How
ever. in spite of difficulties and OBJ
structions that usually beset amend
ments. Congressman Burton l..
French has introduced resolution
in the house providing for an amend
ment which promises to become a
law without long delay. This would
confer upon the president the power
to veto or reduce any item or items
in an appropriation bill, at the same
time retaining the prerogative OF
congress to repass the items so We
teed or reduced by vote Of two
thirds of each house. The French
resolution has received much favor
able comment from the press Of the
country, for it provides correction for
an abuse that has long been recog-
nized In it's leading editorial Of
September 10. the Baltimore Sun
says;
while the zeal for amending
the federal constitution is at its
height, it is to be hoped that the
amendment embodied in a joint
resolution offered by Mr.. B. L.
French. of Idaho, in the house OF
representatives will not be over
looked. This proposed amend
ment would give the executive
power to veto or reduce in amount
any item in bill appropriating
money to be expended by the
executive branch of the govern
ment. Provision is embodied In
the bill for overriding such veto
in like manner as bills are now
passed over executive veto.
1.-The absence Of such veto
power has been the opportunity
for extravaganza and abuse.
Presidents have been compelled,
in order to avoid extra sessions Of
congress or the temporary paraly-
sis of the government, to approve
bills containing items Of appropri-
alton of which they strongly dis
approved and which they would
have vetoed II they had possessed
the power to do SO. Several of
the states have given this power
to veto items of an appropriation
bill. New York has such a pro-
vision in its constitution, and in
1891 the people Of Maryland
amended the constitution Of this

Speaker Clark recently made a
speech in New Jersey in which he
said that 1t was the duty of our gov
eminent to protect the American cit

The citizen may be in many places.
He may be at work making some-

why not? II so why then should the

that protection is unconstitutional?
II 1t is unconstitutional to protect
him, then why does Mr.. Clark say

MISSOURI ZINC PRODUCERS
WANT PROTECTION.

A few years ago in the course OF
one of those forensic diatribes di-
rected at the republican policy OF
tariff protection for which he is ia
nous, Champ Clark. speaker of the
house, gave characteristic expression
to his utter contempt for imposts
by advocating the burning of all GUS
tom houses. Evidently the radical
free trade views of the distinguished
Missourian have undergone change
since the enactment of the Under
wood free trade law, for he now ap-
pears in the role of an advocate of
protection for an important Missouri
industry which Is feeling the pinch of
foreign importations. Read this
from the Washington correspondent
of the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal under the heading Zinc Men
Seek Protection"
Protection of American zinc
producers from foreign competi-
ton was asked last week of Ber-
nard M. Baruch. chairman of the
war industries board, by Mis-
souris delegation in congress,
which was headed by Senator
Reed and Speaker Clark They
stated that the present rate Of
Importation from Mexico is keep
ing the price Of zinc at a point
where a large number of Ameri-
can properties can not operate"
The war is working many changes
in this old world but 1t was hardly
to be expected that 1t would shake
the free trade foundation of the dem
ocratic party even before the end
was in sight. But it has for in no
other way can we account for Mis-

there are only two republicans, these
two representing the two districts
within the city of st. Louis. In the
early stages of the war while the
United States was still neutral, the
allies were practically dependent up
on this country for spelter, vast guam
titles being required in the manufact-
ure Of brass shells. They had to

airy consideration. The price OF spell
ter which in normal times was about
5 cents per pound. went to IS and 20
cents and even higher. Australia
was practically shut out because she
had no zinc smelters, the product OF
the country having been shipped to
Belgium and German smelters for re-
duction. England had no zinc smelt-
ers and under the stress of war had
mo time to build them. Considerable
Australian ore was shipped to the
United States in bond for treatment
| in our smelters, the refined product
being shipped to England. But aside
from the comparatively little ore that
was handled in transit from Aus
tralia, the allies were dependent upon
the United States for zinc, or spell
ter, as It Is commercially known. I'm
der this tremendous impetus new
zinc mines were opened up, old zinc
smelters were restored and many
new ones built. BY the time the
United States entered the war the
zinc production of this country was
equal to the war demand and the
price began to decline. In the mean
time. zinc smelters were built in Eng
land to handle the Australian ore,
which now to great extent supplies
the demands Of the allies for spelter
Thus the American zinc producers
are feeling the effects of steadily

unable to absorb the output and has
forced curtailment of mine and
smelter production The price

to burn the custom houses, is nov

French's proposed amendment,

tions. And yet our governors
