The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-12-05
NATION VS..
LEAGUE

The league of nations idea is los
ing support, and its chance of being
mended and patched up in the Uni
ted States congress is not only a
matter of indifference here but ap-
parently abroad also. Some English
newspapers have commended the
United States senators who refused
to bind their country to the covenant.
Z AS pointed out by the Boise States
man in q recent editorial the nation
alistic idea is stronger than it has
been for half a century. The time
has not come to weaken the individ
ualities of nations by merging them
under one covenanted committee
over in Switzerland, but rather the
time has come when nations insist
upon being sovereign themselves. in
all that pertains to themselves.
President Wilson misread the
American people when he thought
they would rise en- masse and make
congress ratify the covenant. He
was evidently depending too much
)f our recent complacence toward
all sorts of restricting reforms passed
legislatively and our vast heaps of
statutes.
Some people are better pleased
the more they are governed. Most
people are satisfied with the least
governing consistent with law and
order.
If the American people could be
canvassed today perhaps most of
those who are thinking of the future
would prefer that our country should
always maintain free hand in deal
ing with both national and inter
national prOblems.-F. C. X.

TIMES OF Elk.
TRAVAGANCE

Not only is the lid of on raising
prices, wages, rents and taxes In the
United States, but this country Is
surely enjoying spree in radical
legislation. Perhaps our law makers
are simply starting back-fires when
they call any legal contradictions to
their policies radical" and red"
1t has grown to be almost as effective
an accusation as "pro-German" was
last year.
Senator Miles Poindexter, a man
who is avowedly in the race for presi-
dent of the United States, introduced
in congress bill recently which
primarily provides penalty of Inn
prisonment, not exceeding twenty
years, or fine not exceeding $50, 900
or both, for all those who either by
written or spoken word agitate the
overthrow Of the American govern
ment," and some of its provisions are
as follows:
"Sec. 2. Every person who, either
orally or by writing, printing, ex-
hibiting or circulating written or
words or pictures shall advocate,
teach, incite, propose, aid, abet, en-
courage, or advise the unlawful in
jury or destruction of private or pub
lie property, or the unlawful injury
of any person or the unlawful taking
of human life, either las a general
principle or in particular instances,
whether as means of affecting
political, Industrial, social or eco
nomic conditions or for any other
purpose shall be guilty of felony,
and shall be punished by imprison-
ment not exceeding forty years.. or by
fine not exceeding $4,000 or by both
such fine and imprisonment.
Sec. 8. Any person who by the
commission of any act prohibited by
this act shall cause the death of any
person, whether such death is
brought about directly by the act Of
such person in the violation Of this
act, or by any other person melted

North Dakota
Spotlight

The legislature of North Dakota
is in special session now, and reports
in the kept press" that are said to
be entirely unreliable say that the
red flag" bill is again before that
body. In the regular session Of last
January, Representative Nils PETER
son introduced a bill providing pun
ishment for anyone who carried or
displayed a red flag, a black flag
or the flag of any nation unfriendly
to the government of the United
States, or displaying any emblem re-
flecting upon or antagonistic to our
government, and it was promptly
killed in the house by the vote of
the Nonpartisan league members.
Every effort to revive it was defeated
by them, says the press.
If these reports in the kept press"
are true, people want to know why
the nonpartisan legislators of that
state take the stand they do, along
with their good ideas Of terminal
elevators.
