THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Whatever may be the criticism, petty partisan
OF otherwise, of President Wilson and his deter
mnation for a league of nations to insure the
peace OF the world, it cannot be disputed that the
rank and file Of the American people is in favor of
some sort of covenant that will prevent further
wars, with their attendant horrors, desolation suf-
ferlng and deaths.
The president now on his way to France from
the. national capital where he spent a week fol
lowing his return from the peace conference, is
more than ever determined that the league of ma
tiOns plan shall not fail
VI course there are some who argue that the
first duty OF the peace conference was to outline
terms OF peace with Germany and bring the war
officially to an end. Such would be in accord
ance with precedent. But the persent situation
presents problems for more complex than those of
any previous peace conference The treaty of
peace that is to be signed is not treaty between
two nations 1t is treaty in which all the world
is interested and involved The war was con
tct IN which were arraigned the forces of demo
cracy and liberty on the one side, against mill
tansm, autOcracy and intrigue on the other and
IN order that future conflicts, snch as the one
recently so successfully brought to a close may be
prevented, a convenient Of civilized mankind is
necessary to guard against reconstruction of the
defeated armies of the Hun and Moslem.

LEGISLATURE NEAR END.

The Idaho state Legislature is about to adjourn
sine die. The legislature appropriated vast sums
of money for state purposes, discarded the state
wide primary election law, passed some measures
of merit, and others that lacked merit killed some
good bills and rejected more that were worthless

BOOK FARMERS.

Idaho county farmers are taking kindly to
"book'' farming, Judging from interest displayed
in farm bureau meetings being held in various
parts of the county, under the auspices of the
extension department of the state university.
Time was, and not SO long since, when practical
farmers not only failed to manifest friendly feel
ing toward agricultural colleges and their work.
but were decidedly opposed to college farmers tel
ling them how to plant and harvest their crops.
And it no more than natural that men with
many years of practical and successful experience
at farming should resent attempts of ''book farm
ers'' to show them how to manage their farms
But the book farmers persisted Their scientific
Investigations, they felt, were of advantage to
the real farmers, and they would not Weld

rodent determination, collective marketing. and
the like, through cooperation by men who have
made a careful study of these phases of farm
work. the university and the federal department
Of agriculture have been able to drive home to
the farmers truths to which they otherwise would
have turned a deaf ear. And as result, improved
conditions will maintain.
The university has taken wise step in sending
to meet the farmers men who know the farmers
problems from actual experience For a.c0llege
professor to try to tell farmer something he
thinks the farmer does not know, not only shows
lack of knowledge of human nature on the part
of college authorities but often seems absurd
The university appears to have adopted the
right method in placing in county agent work in

the farmers, tackle things in practical way, and
utilize theories Of ''book farming only when
they are genuinely applicable to existing con
ditions.

MARCH 4;1921.

The advent and passing of the 4th day of March
recalls that the day is Inauguration day-once
in every four years. Two years hence, on March
t. 1921, president of the United States of Amer
lea will be inaugurated. In the November pre-
vious to the next Inauguration day, president
will be elected
Though the present administration has but half
way run its course, speculation is current as to
who will be the nominees of the two major poll
teal parties in the 1920 campaign.
President Wilson was reported, the other day,
as having declared he would not be candidate
for third term but the president issued state
ment asserting that he had not committed him
self on the matter. 1t is believed, however, that
the president will not be a candidate. Surely the
Roosevelt third term attempt of 1912 would be
enough to discourage any president from again
attempting twelve years as head of the national
government, no matter what might be his personal
ambitions. Though President Wilson, if he lives,
cannot be other than big factor in the 1920 cam
paign, he surely will not be candidate himself.
The McAdoo boom, also, probably will not mater
laze auspiciously so far as the presidency is con
cemed
Since the death of Colonel Roosevelt, the Re
l1bhcans, at this early date, have been at loss
for a candidate and for an adviser whose opinion

try Major Gen Leonard Wood is being groOmed

WOMEN'S BILLS DEFEATED.

Bills in the legislature sponsored by club women
of the state apparently met with a hearty reception
when they were introduced, but, Judging from
action finally taken on the measures, the reception
was not lengthy.
A BILL indorsed by the woman's clubs of the
state, and providing for the establishment of the
office Of welfare commissioner, to improve wages
and working conditions of women in Idaho, was
defeated in the house. Other measures have met
similar fates.
Although the bills introduced at the request of
club women no doubt have merit, men lawmakers
naturally resent the meddlesome attitude sof
women lobbyists, who frequent the halls Of the
Legislature, seeking to SUPPRESS this "evil,' and

PREVENTION OF MALARIA
AND YELLOW FEVER
POSSIBLE

The second installment Of the Re
view of the work of the Rockefeller
Foundation for 1918 points out the
possibility of practically eliminating
malaria and yellow fever wherever
the people of any section of the
country are willing to make reason
able efforts to this end. Successful
work in this direction has already
, been conducted in various districts
throughout the United States. In
these districts by draining or filling
pools, by ditching sluggish streams,
land by oiling surface water which
could not be otherwise dealt with,
the breeding Of the anopheles Una
Iaria-carrying) mosquito was almost
wholly prevented, and thus the sole
means by which malaria can be trans
mitted was eliminated. Tests have
been made in four towns in Arkansas
and the results, as shown by the
