GETTING DOWN TO EARTH.

We are apt to fly kites and try to
soar with them into the realms OF
impractical theories. Occasionally
it is a good thing to get down to
earth and stay there long enough to
understand how marvelously we are
blessed without any of these new
tangled trimmings of Utopia that are
SO often dangled before our eyes.
In that position we can certainly
appreciate the following homely OBJ
seryations of an Idaho Philosopher:
A digger for statistics has pro-
duced most interesting article
showing that if a house were light
ed by kerosene as it is today with
electricity the cost would be start
lingly more than we pay for modern
lighting.
This does not include the labor
and annoyance Of caring for kerr
osene lamps and the cost Of the coal
oil is figured in 10-year averages,
going back to he early days of the
oil lamp.

Any number of doctors will testify
that if it had not been for the tele-
phone they could not have arrived
in time to have saved life. This
has happened innumerable times.
When we also consider social in

comforts, promote our happiness

ivites that feed millions through

powerfully against all logic that
urges us to a backward step.

CRITICISE PRESIDENT.

Washington, May.-Mucn criti-
cism has been directed against
President Wilson by members of
Congress because of his reported
Willingness at Versailles TO pledge
the United States to an alliance
with Great Britain and France to go
to the aid of the latter in any flu
ture war, in direct violation OF the
long established and traditional pol
icy of Washington.
Not only is this further departure
in the direction of participation by
this country in the affairs of Europe
considered unwise. but it is regarded
as an indication of lack sof faith by
the President himself in the eff
ficiency of the proposed league Of
nations in preventing future con-
flicts. 1t is also thought to be a
confession that as amended. the
authority of the league over those
nations which have fought side by
side against Germany and might
now subscribe to it would be so
general as to make imperative a
more binding agreement between
those States especially desiring to
stand together.
While this construction of the
league as amended is not surprising
to the Senate, it is quite certain
that 1t will make more determined
the intention of the opponents OF
the covenant TO at all hazards pro-
tect American sovereignty and
rights, rather than barter them
away for any idealistic conception
which would not be able to with

struggle of history. Japan am
bition to dominate the Pacific and
control the trade of Eastern Asia,
in direct antithesis to the aims of
the United States. is taken as an
evidence of this, as is also Eng
lands control of fourth or the ter
ritory and population OF the globe
and her desire to dominate the COM
merec of the entire world in conflict
with the purpose of the United
States to excel all nations in COM
;nercial development; not because
the aims of this country are selfish,
but because it means to be second
to none.
The American British-French pro-
mise at Versailles is the basis of a
desire on the part Of many Demo-
cratic Senators to conduct the treaty
debate in secret, in spite Of the
Presidents oft-repeated declaration
in favor of open covenants openly
arrived at" Republican Senators
are as certain that the sessions shall
be conducted in the open. SO that
all the people may know and under
stand what is going on. they are
determined and they have the votes
to enforce it that this principle shall
not go the way Of freedom of the
seas and the self-determination Of
small PEOPLES.

THE VICTORY TROPHY TRAIN.

Boise, Idaho, April.-There are
around 100000 people in the state
of Idaho. 1t is estimated that in
the neighborhood of 100000 of them
have visited the Victory Loan tro-
ply special train that has made
tour of the state in the interest OF
the Victory Loan. Chairman Gwinn,
of the Idaho Committee, on his re-
turn to Boise stated that he was
positively amazed at the size of the
crowds that greeted the train at
every stopping point.
People in the towns we visited
came out in body and the farms
for miles around were left uninhab-
tied while the families came to see
he train, to look over the trophies
and to listen to the speakers and
singers. II there had ever been the
slightest doubt as to Idaho making
good on the fifth loan, 1t certainly
was dispel'ed by the interest dis
,layed by the people of Idaho in
this Victory Loan tour. I was not
at all surprised to learn that Sec
lions we had visited had gone
over the top within twenty-four
i,ours after the campaign opened.
Il have always been proud of Ida
no and her people, but must say
hat my feelings have been so in
tensified as a result Of their interest
this Victory Loan that I find 1t
impossible to supply words to ex-
press my qualification at the result.
while the reports are not all in,
and while there is yet considerable
work to do, the initial response has
been most encouraging and the COM
mittees in the various communities
l feel sure will experience no diff
Guilty in raising any remnants OF
their quotas.

war or in peace. The people of this
state DO not believe in starting a

governor who has nothing more vi

be bankruptcy.

the American people since its text
had arrived by cable.
A full month, at the end of the
first fortnight Of which Mr.. Wilson
sat down at dinner with men,

which consider foreign relations,
and admitted that the covenant
would surrender points of American
'rovereignty and commit this Govern

which the United States had no d.

A full month, at the end of eigh-
teen days of which thirty-nine Sem
ators, from twenty-eight States that
contain two-thirds of the country's
population, pledged themselves to
vote against the covenant in its
form at that time. Mr.. Wilson, who
