EACH COUNTY HAS ORGANIZED

Some Of the big men of the ma
tion, recognizing the worth of the
Y. M. &C. A., and realizing that what
is being said against it by men who
have had unpleasant experiences in
Europe is based on the services or
misconduct of the few irresponsibles
mixed up in the organization in its
rapid growth, are making nation
wide campaign to build it bigger and
better than ever; cleaner and
stronger than ever, and give to young
men everywhere that high, clean ser
vice which our soldiers praised so
highly and felt the lack of so keenly

Small Fire in the
Kennedy Apartments

A fire started at shortly after noon
in the Kennedy apartments in the
roof where the annex joins the First
National Bank building.
1t was quickly put out by the
fire department with the aid of an
emergency fire hose in the building.
he damage was slight and none
of the apartments were touched.
Chief Simons estimates the dam
age at about $500.
1t is thought the fire started in
a little side fire room where there
is a stove used to burn paper. This
room opens on the roof over the
Golden Rule store and due to tho
fact that the fire was enclosed 1t
got good start before being noticed.

Inns looked over his telegraph lists

on the number. He returned to find
Sheriff Simmons at the bank and
was Immediately taken up and
turned over to Pocatello authorities

A concLAve OF AMBASSADORS

Washington. July 2.-The following
statement by U. S. Senator William f.
Borah was given out today through
the Republican Publicity Association.
"If the people of the United States
were asked to endorse a plan of gov
ernment under which they could not
elect their President. their Congress
men or their Governors they would
unhesitatingly reject It and condemn
to private life any one who had pro-
posed it. II there is any one principle
more thoroughly established than an
other in the minds of the American
people and il there is any one prin-
ciple more essential than another to
the preservation OF free government
It Is this-that public servants and
public officials must be elected by
the people for limited term and
thereby return to the people for the
approval or the rejection Of their pub
lie service. This is so automatic, so
universally accepted that It seems pre-
sumptuous to call attention to II.
"And yet It II now proposed to
place in the hands OF five or at most
nine men greater power than was
ever given to any nine mon in the
history Of the world and these nine
men are neither selected or elected
The Delta independent., 1919-07-04

by the people. They will not be sub
ject to check or control by the people.
And yet these same nine men are en-
trusted with such power that either,
directly or indirectly, by authority
either expressed or implied they can
commit the American people to state
of war. In my opinion the only way
to advance the cause of peace is to
bring the power to declare war nearer
to the people. II / had my way
would write into the Constitution OF
the United States that in all cases
except in cases Of actual invasion no
war should be decalred without vote
of the people But it is now proposed
to remove still further from the peo-
pie the power to say whether or not
there shall be peace or war. The pub
lie voice is to be silenced entirely.
These nine men sitting behind closed
doors in Europe, thousands of miles
from those whom tley represent and
in no wise responsible to the people
may under the authority granted by
the League, through intrigue or man.
ipulation or express power, cause the
I
cline Of Europe or Asia as a soldier,
or had We better say as policeman
for some foreign nation.
I'VE have had some experience with
similar plan. The American boys
have been sent to Russia and thous-
ands are now in Siberia Who sent
them there and why were they sent?
We are told by the public press that
President Wilson did not want them
to go, but owing to an understanding
or arrangement which We had with
Japan, England and France he finally
yielded and the American boys are
suffering and dying for a cause in
which we are in no wise interested.
1t is nothing but legalized murder.
And yet this is the principle upon
which League of Nations represent
ed by this council in no wise respons-
| ible TO the people will work.
I'm article X OF this proposed COW
enant it is provided that We shall
guarantee against external aggression
the territorial integrity and political
independence of all members of the
League Mr.. Bonar Law stated in the
that there are twenty-one wars now
on in Europe. Mr.. Simons the famous
war correspondent gives a list of
eighteen. The New York Times a few
days ago published a list of sixteen.
II is safe to say that there is now
from fifteen to twenty wars now on in
Europe in practically all of which are
involved the question of territorial in
| tegrity and political independence.
These nine men, this council of the
league, would have immediate conce-
| with reference TO all these wars. They
would advise what number of soldiers
shall be sent and where sent to per-
form our contract under Article X and
We having agreed that the council
should advise, be compelled by every
sense of honor and duty to comply
with that advice. The American peo-
pie can easily see how much chance
their sons would have acting under
the unlimited discretion of this con-
clave OF ambassadors sitting in Cen
eva and calling upon the young men
of America to do soldiers service
and police duty in all the interminable
broils and disturbances of Europe"

THE LAST THREE CENT STAMPS

THE LAST THREE CENT STAMPS
The post offices are cutting down on
their supplies of three cent stamps
and stamped envelopes in anticipation
of the reduced rate. In few days
more the familiar old red stamp will
carry your letter anywhere in the U.
s.
Almost any means of raising money
for a great war was legitimate. There
were many complaints on account Of
the increased cost of postage. At the
same time it was a tax on a necessity
rather than luxury.
A large percentage of the mail mat
ter is the correspondence of the bus
mess houses. The higher cost Of the
postage was one OF the added costs
of doing business which has been add
ed to the cost of the goods. Eventually
the people have had to pay for it.
OF the strictly personal letters go,
ing thru the mail, probably half re-
late to matters of individual business
which absolutely require attention.
The only portion of the mail matter
which anyone could possibly consider
luxury consists in friendly CORES
pondence, and such exchanges as post
cards. Friendship and family rela-
tons are n necessary and vital ele-
ment in the life of the nation. Let
ters are the means for maintaining
such relations and can not be called
q luxury.
Fancy and motto and picture post
cards would seem about the only por-
tion of mail matter that can fairly be
classed as a superfluity. There would
be no great kick from anyone IL they
were taxed. But business and person
al correspondence is the life blood of
the nation. Cheap postage promotes
all kinds Of quick action. Taxing it
was about like taxing food or cloth
ing. II the post office is efficiently
operated It should pay on a two cent
basis.
