The People Want To Understand

The peoples wish to understand
the reasons which impel the United
States to ratify the treaty as a
means of terminating the war with
Germany, and to enter the League of
Nations as a guarantee against
further International conflicts, is the
most conspicuous feature of the
Presidents tour. The Senatorial op-
ponents of the League and the treaty
have continued their obstruction not
because they have failed to under
stand, but because they refuse to
subordinate personal and political
bias in the interest of the country.
In all great issues in the history of
the United States, the people have
shown willingness to make their
decisions upon the facts and accord
ing to their conscientious judgment
In the last analysis, there is little
partisanship among the masses. They
may at times be moved by sentiment
in their choice of candidates-Ifor
personality may attract or repel
them-but in every matter of policy
they have uniformly judged and act
ed solely upon what they considered
its merits.
The question of ratifying the
treaty and of approving the coven-
ant of the League is not in any sense
partisan. The President is making
that abundantly clear. No Republi-
can need desert his party to favor
the League. He may act as an Amer
lean in this crisis without ceasing to
be Republican. When that truth is
impressed on his hearers and readers
by the President, the opponents of
the League will appeal in vain to the

Thruston Ballard, republican
candidate for lieutenant govern
or, is president of the big flour
milling firm of Ballard & Ballard,
which admits having sold -four in
Louisiana $l.1O a barrel cheaper
than in Kentucky. II this isn't
prohteering, we'd like to know
what you call it. And this man
wants to act as governor for the
people of Kentucky. Does he
expect Kentuckians to favor him
with their votes when he's favor
ing the people of Louisiana with
his flour prices? What does the
poor man, to whom the price of
a barrel of flour means several
days work, think of him?

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING

Ed Bush and Ulysses Chisholm, both
employees of the Parks Highway Gar
age, had a narrow escape from drown
ing on Tuesday night when while at
tempting to cross the Kootenai river
at Lenia. the boat capsized and they
were thrown into the river, Chisholm
being unable to swim.
Bush, who is an expert swimmer,
although handicapped with his coat
and clothes, was able to help CHS
holm by placing cedar poles under his
arms. The strong current of the
river carried Chisholm to the south
side of the river separating him from
Bush. The latter, after a great deal
of difficulty, was able to rid himself
of his coat and made landing some
two miles below Lenia. He was
picked up by men of the Great North
ern railway section crew and brought
back to Lenia from which place he
sent word to Bonners Ferry for help
as he had no idea what had become of
Chisholm.
Chisholm was carried farther down
the river than his companion and
when he finally landed, walked back
toward Lenia and telephoned here of
his safety. This was between four
and five o'clock in the morning and in
the meantime word of the accident
had been received here and two par
ties, one on either side of the river,
had gone out to look for both CHS
holm and Bush. When Chisholm re-
turned to Lenia he found his car gone
and for a while thought that some one
had stolen it. AS a matter of fact
it had been taken by Sheriff Dunning
and William Warwick and others of
the searching party on that side OF
the river, who in turn believed that
Chisholm had been drowned.
w F. Kinnear and others made the
trip up the south side of the river on
gasoline speeder to search for Bush
and Chisholm, finding Bush at Lenia
and bringing him home with them.
The accident which precipitated the
young men into the river resulted
from the cable to which the ferry boat
was fastened, becoming loose and
falling into the boat.

PROFITABLE
MEETINGS HELD

Mrs. c. w. Flood, county superin-
tendent of schools, returned yesterday
from attending the annual confer
ence of county superintendent OF the
state which was held at the Albion
State Normal School. She reports
that the sessions, held under the di-
rection of Miss Ethel Redfeld, state
superintendent of public instruction,
were very interesting and instructive.
DR.. IL. A. Bryan and other prominent
educators addressed the meeting.
Mrs. Flood considers that the sew.
eral round-table discussions led by
Miss Redfeld pertaining to the duties
and problems of county superintend-
ents, was one of the most valuable and
instructive features.
On Friday the visiting superintend-
ents were guests of President Frazier
and the faculty of the Idaho Technical
Institute at Pocatello. The buildings,
equipment and facilities for technical
training at this institute are a reva-
lation to those who have not visited
the school and emphasize the fact that
Idaho is in the forefront in the OPP
portunities presented to its young
people to secure the very best in high
er academic and technical education.
At a meeting held in the auditorium of
the institute, Boundary county was
honored by it's county superintendent
being invited to address the assembled
faculty and student body of the Insti-
tute.
The weather in the southern part
of the state was oppressively warm,
the thermometer reaching 112 degrees
at Albion, and much of the country is
suffering severely from the extreme
heat and drouth. return to the
pleasant weather and cool breezes OF
Boundary county was a most enjoy
able evidence that we have the finest
summer climate in the northwest right
here at home.

AXEL JOHNSON
BADLY INJURED

Axel Johnson, millwright for the
Boomers Ferry Lumber Company, is
at the Boomers Ferry hospital suffer-
ing from three broken ribs on the left
side and many severe bruises and
sprains which he received in an &C
cident at the mill Friday afternoon.
Mr. Johnson was tightening a bolt
on the pulley above the wood saw
when his wrench slipped and he was
thrown onto the pulley belt. He was
hurled around the pulley several
times and nearly all his clothing was
torn from him. From the pulley he
fell into the conveyor which carries
wood to the big mill burner. The
whirling he received on the pulley
rendered him unconscious and he was
carried a considerable distance in the
conveyor before he realized his pre-
dicament and was able to crawl out
and save himself from being carried
into the hot furnace. 1t was some
time before he was able to summon
help as no one was about or saw the
accident.
Mr.. Johnsons left arm is badly
burned and his right hip and leg is
severely bruised and he has many
bad bruises all over his body.
It is considered miraculous that he
escaped with his life and If he hac
not regained consciousness when he
did he would surely have been burned
to death in the burner for there was
nothing to save his body from being
carried into the pit.
