One Democrats View of Wilson

Statement by Henry Wattcrson, vet

l think events, helped along by the
president himself will verify my fore
cast that he is not merely a candidate
for a third term in the White House,
but that for nomination to such he
holds all the winning cards in his
hands.
The Democratic party, so-called, he
long ago abolished, having previous
ly much debauched it. Nothing of it
survives except the tattered label. and
he holds that betwixt his thumb and
forefingers | am inclined to believe.
however. that he has eliminated the
United States from his immediate &C
tivities as an established conquest,
and is now giving his mighty thought
to the sublimation of the world.
A virtuous, right-minded man thus
situated would emulate the humility
of a Washington and the humanity of
Lincoln. Mr.. Wilson sees nothing
but himself and his personal exalta-
ton; lives for nothing except his own
advantage; seeks nothing save power
and authority, the concrete things of
rulership represented by the regal
splendors and feudal glories, which,
the somewhat frazzled and faded, still
go on about him.
AS consequence of his maladroit
tinkering Europe will find itself the
middle of the coming summer in
flames. Then we shall have him home

time when the admonitions of Wash
ington, Jefferson and Monroe carried
greater weight. Mr.. Wilson's mediocre
mind and colossal vanity have already
carried him far to sea. 1t is ours to

States shall permit foreign countries
to transport>with perfect freedom any
and all of their goods and commodi-
ties across, through and into any part
or section of the United States. The
term equitable treatment for the COM
merce of all states, members of the
league is an indefinite expression
What is meant by equitable treat
ment' is not stated. The free trader
believes that equitable treatment
would require the removal of all tar
iff barriers or duties on imports and
the establishment of free trade ut
might also be contended that duties
imposed by the United States on i'm
ported commodities which were high
enough to secure to American capital
and labor OUR home market, and pre-
vent competition in our market of
goods made by the poorly paid labor
of the Old World, would be unjust.

Several Issues

The people of this country should
not let themselves slumber under the
delusion that the controversy between
Postmaster General Burleson and the
owners of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany is of interest to those persons
only. There are several issues in
which all the people have an interest:
Least in Importance are the increased
charges and DIMINISHED service Incl
dent to government operation. More
important is that policy of govern
ment ownership which will be foisted
upon the. country if the postmaster
general has his way But more i'm
portant still is the observance of prop
erty rights which. if infringed upon
in one instance, may, with equal reck-
lessness, be seized in other instances.
II is to the interest of every citizen
to see the justice is done to every
other citizen.

IS 1T A FACT?

The Tribune is in receipt of a letter
from state official commencing ed
itorial utterances that have appeared
in this paper which criticized the state
reorganization law adopted by Man
ager Davis and made his own. Among
other things this state official says:
II cannot understand how it happen
ed that the legislature with hardly an
individual member favoring such
departure from the old way of doing
things, would, regardless of that fact,
get in and support the bill"
We cannot understand it either if
such be the facts and we have reason
to believe that true statement of
fact is made, other than the word of
this state official which would be suf-
ficient of itself. BY some hocus pocus
the administration bill' was jammed
down the throat of the legislature. 1t
is becoming quite common in this
country for legislation to come into
being by executive decree. In this
instance Manager Davis, who at the
time was Governor Davis. decreed
that a child born of the brain of Ben
Oppenheim at the instigation of Nom
inee Samuels should be adopted by
Republican legislature. And it was
done.
We begin to suspect that while Ben
Oppenheim is to be admired and re-
spected for brand of political diplo-
macy seldom seen in these parts, that
Manager Davis is not to be sneezed
at. He too put something over that
shows finesse of high order. II he
will function as an executive as skill
fully as he has performed as a diplo-
mat we are going to see some man
aging in Idaho that will rank high.

ARTICLE 81 OF THE CONSTI-
TUITION

During the campaign of last fall it
was charged that President Wilson
proposed to establish free trade
among the members of the proposed
league of nations. The president let
it be denied that he had any such a
project in mind. The presidents
avowals and denials are not accepted
at par at all times. He has been
known to dissimulate, to put it very
mildly.
Mr.. George B. Curtiss, an able law
yer and publicist. author of the In
dustrial Development of Nations, y
writing in the American Economist
says in speaking of the constitution of
the United States:
"Article l, section 8, declares that
Congress shall have power to regu-
late commerce with foreign nations.
This power to regulate commerce can
not be delegated to any foreign coun-
try or body; neither does an act pass
ed by one congress on the subject,
prevent future congress from repeal
ing and altering the law, yet Article
Fl of the proposed constitution of the
league of nations provides that this
power shall be exercised by the
league of nations. 1t declares:
"The high contracting parties
agree that provisions shall be made
through the instrumentality of the
league to secure and maintain free
dom of transit and the equitable
treatment for the commerce of all
states, members of the league
Freedom of transit is under
standable. 1t means that the United

WHAT BECAME OF THE AMER
ICAN PLAN7

United States senators who attend
ed the dinner given by President Will
son during his brief stay in this coun-
ary are becoming insistent that the
American plan of the proposed league
of nations be made public. Senator
Brandegee in particular has asked the
state department to make public the
American plan. Thus far the request
has not been granted.
It will be remembered that during
the course of the dinner to the Unit
ed States senators given at the White
House President Wilson in reply to
questions stated that four drafts of a
constitution had been proposed, one
each by the United States, Great Brit
ain, France and Italy. When asked
by Senator Brandegee which draft had
been accepted by the peace conference
the president replied, "The British"
For the sake of comparison Senator
Brandegee wants the American plan
maze puD1c.
A great many good Democrats are
for the proposed League of Nations
simply because they think President
Wilson is the author of the plan now
pending. The president admitted that
his plan was submitted to the confer
ence and rejected; and that the British
plan was accepted
Is it any wonder that the British
empire is we'll taken care of in the
proposed league? Is it any wonder
that Great Britain objects to amend
ments? Why, though, does the presi-
dent fail to make known his own
plan? Was it so foolishly visionary
that he is now ashamed of it? And,
how can We reconcile the great influ-
ence President Wilson is supposed to
WELD at Paris with the fate that be-
fell the plan he submitted? Why is
Democrat for the league?

On Monday, April 7, about As pu-

Davis school went on an excursion
to Boise and Nampa. There were
cars in the bunch and they left the
school hous at o'clock. The places
visited were the sanitarium and con-
densery at Nampa and the capitol and
Natatorium at Boise. A picnic din
ner was spread in the park at the Nat
atorium. After dinner the crowd
went through the penitentiary. At
five o'clock they started home. Ev-
eryone enjoyed the day very much.

AS 1t Might Have Been

Senator Lodge, in his recent de-
bate on the league of nations with
President Lowell of Harvard. insisted
that had the president taken the SEN
ate into his confidence. laid the draft
of the leagues constitution before it.
and asked for advice. he would have
had amendments laid before him that
could have been submitted to the
peace conference at Paris as an indi-
cation of what the senate was prepar-
ed to approve. If Mr.. Wilson had
taken that course he would have fol-
lowed the example of Andrew Jack
son, Grant, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln. "And in the path
that George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln have walked" said Mr.
Lodge, there is no man too great
to tread"
In the opinion of the senator the
battle for league of nations would
have been more than half won had
the president departed from his habit
OF relying solely on his own Judgment.
and said to the senate. 81 submit this
draft to you for your advice, hope
for your approval and for such sup-
gestions as you may have to make"
But instead of that he not only did
not lay the leagues constitution be-
tore the senate. but he refuses to cali
the senate together now to consider
it.
The course pursued by the president
from the first is one calculated to
provoke hostility to his draft of the
league. Opposition to the proposal
could have been minimized had he
consented to share with the senate the
responsibility of framing the docu-
ment, as contemplated by the constitu-
ton of the United States. That he
has not done. but has placed before
the country ready-made league con-
stitution that he declares to be per-

YOUR DUTY TO THE CITY


1t is your duty to vote at the city
election Tuesday. You are convinced
that theatres should be closed or open
on Sunday. One way or the other you
have a conviction. Opportunity is
given you to express your conviction
at the coming city election. The
present administration submits the
question. The new administration
hopes that it will be settled In JUS
tice to everybody concerned, includ-
ing yourself, you must vote.
In order to vote you must register.
Saturday is the last day for registra-
ton. If you are good citizen OF
Caldwell you will first see that you
are registered; and then cast your
vote one way or the other on the fol-
lowing Tuesday.
A great majority of the electors OF
Caldwell signed a petition asking the
city council to open the theatres on
Sunday A considerable number of
electors demonstrated against such &C
ton. In all probability you signed
one or the other of those petitions.
The council and mayor passed the
matter back to the people. They held
that the people as a whole should
rule in this matter. What will you
now do? Are you going to shirk
your responsibility? Are you a good
citizen or a Stacker? If you pretend
to be good citizen of this city do
