senators, and 1t 10 equally idle to
blame them for taking both of the
senator's. The fact is that there is no
apparent difference between republi-
cans south and republicans north. II
one section makes a concession to the
other, it Is the force of circumstances
that brings II about. 1t is up to north
Idaho, this section having the smaller
vote, to bring about the circumstances
that win force recognition. For the
first time in many years the republi-
cans of Idaho will nominate a candi-
date for senator in state convention.
Ii the delegates from the north go to
the convention united in support of a
nian for that position whose COM
handing ability, high character and
loyal adherence to the party are con
ceded throughout the state, they will
be in position to draw enough support
from the south to secure his nomina
ton. On the other hand, If they go to
the convention with their support di
vided between several candidates, they
will find that geography" fairness
to the north" and other stock argu-
ments will fail and that the south win
retain both senators.

The League of Nations Covenant is not
a Treaty.
a Treaty
(Kansas City Starr

Careless acceptance of names and
labels as correct descriptions of the
articles contained in the package is
an American habit and bad one.
Because the instrument before the
senate, into which is interviewer the
covenant of the league of nations, is
called treaty we think of it as such
and because treaties have generally
been instruments Of no great public
concern-never before involving or
distantly approaching questions of our
domestic administration or sovereign
ty-we are too likely to class this one
with all others and to leave 1t to the
senate to deal with somehow as one
of it's routine jobs
Never impended greater or more
dangerous mistake than this attitude
invites. This instrument Is far more
than a treaty negotiated between gov
ernments. 1t is so much more than
that, and involves so completely the
existence of the institutions and laws
under which the American people have
lived since they became a nation, that
1T is a question whether the senate
would not be overstepping it's consti-
tutional limits in assuming a right to
consider it at all without mandate
from the people.
The theory upon which the league
covenant is submitted to the senate
and not to congress, as an amendment
to the constitution would have to be
before going to the states for ratifiea-
ton, is that the covenant Is a treaty
1t can easily be shown that it is not
For example:
The covenant takes from congress

an international body sitting at Gen.

The league of nations covenant then
is not treaty, except that it is writ

senate at all in it's present guise. The
covenant is plain and express

that talk. 1t was straight from

tionalism without alloy. They

TOWNSEND HIGHWAY BILL BAD
FOR THE WEST.

| Major Frank A. Fem, assistant for.
ester Of district No. /, which includes
Idaho, Montana and Washington, with
headquarters at Missoula, has called
attention to the Townsend bill now
before the senate providing for the
construction of national highways in
the various states and the manner in
which the funds shall be apportioned
Major Fem is an Idaho man.. having
been a resident of this state from the
time Of the earliest gold discoveries in
Idaho until a few years ago when his
advancement in the forest service re-
suited in transferring his residence to
Missoula. He was for many years
prominent In Idaho politics and held
various positions of honor and re-
sponsibility. He earned his title as
major in the war with Spain, having
entered the military service as captain
in the First Idaho volunteer infantry,
going with the regiment to the Phil
ippines and returning with majors
Major Fem calls partic-
llar attention to the following section
IF the Townsend bill, which provides
'or a
national highway system to COM

nor more than 8 per centum of

THE NEvER.ENDING CIRCLE.

Engineering and Mining JournaD
The British government has again
raised the price of coal to the con-
sumner, this time only six shillings per
ton. The increase Is to meet the
higher cost of wages and the reduc-
ton in working hours. This is perhaps
one of the most severe blows that la
bQr has given itself for some time. 1t
lis surely a boomerang that will be felt
most seriously by those employed in
the manufacturing and export indus
tries.
Great Britain has little water pow
er. Her, industries have been built
upon her coal mines, and unless every
and shipping nation
experiences like increase in the cost
Of fuel, England places a handicap up
on her business that no adjustment at
home can meet. But IL every nation
should do the same, it would be equiv
alent to marking up the price of every
product that labor consumes, and la
Dor would gain nothing but the illu-
sory pleasure Of having more money
pass through its hands In a given
time.
Some day, some time-it may be far
away, but 1t will come--labor will
earn that in normal times there is on.

o Mother of a mighty race,
Yet lovely in thy youthful grace!
The elder DANES thy naughty peers,
Admire and hate thy blooming years
With words Of shame
name.
For on thy cheeks the glow is spread
That tints thy morning hills with red;
Thy step-the wild deer's rustling feet
Within thy woods are not more fleet;
Thy hopeful eye
Is bright as thine own sunny sky
Ay let them rail--those naughty ones
While safe thou dwellest with thy sons.
They do not know how loved thou art,
How many fond and fearless heart
Would rise to throw
Its life between thee and the foe
o fair young mother! On thy brow
Shall sit a nobler grace than now.
Deep in the brightness of the skies
The thronging years in glory rise,
And, as they fleet,
Drop strength and riches at thy feet
Thine eye, with every coming hour
Shall brighten, and thy form shall
tower;
And when thy sisters elder born
Would brand thy name with words Of
scorn,
Before thine eye,
Upon their lips the taunt shall die.
