SHOULD SPRINKLE STREETS.
The unpaved streets of Moscow
should be sprinkled. With the con
tinued dry weather these streets are
deep in dust that rises in clouds
whenever team or automobile
passes over them. This dust is watt
ed into the homes of the people who
pay taxes to help keep up civic i'm
provements. We sprinkle the bust
ness streets which are paved, to pro-
tect the stores, where men spend
eight hours day, but we neglect the
unpaved streets in the residence sec
ton, where women spend "a hours a
day and have to fight the dust. Is
that giving the women a Square
deal?"
Dean E. ]. Iddings, who has been
all over southern Idaho says that the
people of Twin Falls, one of the real
live, enterprising towns of Idaho, not
only sprinkle the streets of that beau
tiful city but sprinkle the main trav-
eled roads between that city and Bull
and Filler, distances of IL and Is
miles.
Let us sprinkle the residence
streets, at least during the hottest
xriest season and until after the big
crowds of July 8, and leave town.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
Nations must unite as men unite
in order to preserve peace and order.
The great nations must be so united
as to be able to say to any single |
country, You must not go to war;
and they can only say that effectively |
when the country desiring war knows
that the force which the united ma
tions place behind peace is irresis-
fible."
Whose words are these?
You are wrong. They were not.
uttered by Woodrow Wilson after be-
ing converted to the league of ma
tons idea. Nor are they the words
of William Howard Taft, who origi-
mated the idea of league to en-
force peace"
These are the words of Henry Ca
bot Lodge, republican United States
senator from Massachusetts, who in
troduced the resolution in the senate
demanding that the league of nations
covenant be separated from the trea-
ty of peace and demanding that the
United States senate refuse to ratify
the league of nations covenant.
The words were spoken by Henry
Cabot Lodge in June, 1915, when he
delivered the honorary chancellors
address at Union College. That was
three years before President Wilson
took up the league of nations idea
and made it possibility. Senator ),
Lodge was in favor of a league of Q
nations because he thought it would c
prevent war. Now he opposes a
|
not still think it will prevent war, but 81
because a democratic president has B
put Lodges theories into actual prac- i
lice. When Senator Lodge made the ii
speech at Union College, of which the al
above quotation is part, he was not p
playing politics. When he introduced be
lis resolution that promised for a +;
ime to disrupt and split the grand m =
I'D party, he was playing politics and ne
lothing else. tri
