Italy Wins:
Restoration of Italia Irredenta;
Security for her Alpine frontier;
Control of the Adriatic Sea;
Reparation for injuries and losses
in the war.
Japan Wins:
Former German islands in the Pa
cific;
Control of China;
Increased influence in Asiatic Rus
STA
Woodrow Wilson Wins:
A place in history as the Founder
of the League of Nations which
threatens his country with un-
doing.
The United States Loses:
Her independence and sovereignty
The friendship of Italy, Japan and
China;
The power of self-defense;
Self-determination of the size OF
her army and navy;
The right to make treaties at will;
The right to mind only her own
business.
Was it Worth While?
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1919-05-30

Mr.. Wilson cannot jam the League
of Nations down the throat of the
American people, and, as he had a
hard time getting himself elected at
the last election notwithstanding the
plea that "he kept US out of war;" it
is quite certain that he cannot get
very far on the fact that he kept US
out of peace.
Mr.. Wilson and his place in history
are of no particular concern to the
people of this country. Mr.. Cum
mings' announcement provokes no
more than a passing smile. The peo-
pie by rejecting the one will reject
the other and that is an end of that.

Profit and Loss in Peacemaking
(Haryey'S Weekly

1t is now possible to compute with
substantial accuracy the profit and
loss of the diplomacy in which the
president has been unjustifiably en-
gagged for the last six months. The
balance sheet run substantially as fol-
lows:
Great Britain Wins:
Guaranteed and undiminished con-
troll of the seas;
Virtual control of the League of
Nations, with six votes to the one
of the United States or any other
power;
The major part of the former Ger
man colonies;
Confirmed possession of Egypt;
Greatly increased influence in the
East;
Reparation for injuries and losses to
civilians.
France Wins:
Alsace Lorraine;
The Sarre Valley:
A barrier all along the Rhine

Belgium Wins:
Additional territory.
Restored indeoendence;
Reparation for her injuries and

TAKE IT OR NE

President Roosevelt at one time
told the Republican party that it
would take Taft or me-" He got
away with it. Mr.. Homer S. Cum
mings, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, stentoriously an
nounces that the American people
will take the League of Nations or
they viii take Wilson. 1t is an awful
threat.
Now in order to get rid of one the
people would undoubtedly be willing
to take lot, but we doubt that they
will go so far as to take the other. II
it is up to the American people to take
either the League or Mr.. Wilson they
are indeed in hard way. AS it hap
pens though they need not take either
and that is exactly what they will do

I'm HAM SEES A LIGHT

lanes Hamilton Lewis served
term in the United States senate from
Illinois. While in the senate Mr..
Lewis was the mouthpiece OF Presi-
dent Wilson, and as a mouthpiece he
performed willingly, continuously and
satisfactorily. Since his defeat for
reelection Senator Lewis has made a
tour of the middlewest and south
west. He says he travelled thousands
of miles and interviewed thousands Of
people. Inevitably he interviewed a
great many more Democrats than Re-
publicans for the simple but sufficient
reason that he was the guest of Dem
ocratic clubs, committees and organ
izations at many places. Senator Jim
Ham gave out an interview at the con.
clusion of his trip in which he said in
effect: IL find widespread dissatis.

overwhelming opposition to the
League of Nations"

inclined to sing the praises of Jim

himself as the only Jim Ham in cap

eign relations, has played itself out.
Discerning Democrats who expect
to stay Democrats, though it be for
but the loaves and fishes, will do we'll

WILL HE OR WILL HE NOTa

The Democratic politicians feel
that their only hope is President Viii
son. The president ever mindful OF
his place in history, but withal over
weeningly ambitious. is in doubt. He
does not want to risk overwhelming
defeat and yet the prize is tempting.
VIII he or will he not be candidate
for the third term?
The Tribune believes the president
will seek reelection. We are very
hopeful that he will We want the
verdict of the American people upon
the Wilson administration. To our
mind at the last congressional cleo
ton q verdict was awarded, but we
want something more definite.
Neither precedent nor tradition, nor
the unwritten law will for one mo-
ment stay the president He will be
guided solely by expediency and his
judgment of the chances of election.
Modesty is not a cardinal virtue with
the president.
AS events are progressing it seems
certain that the Wilson program will
be the paramount issue or issues in
the next presidential campaign. We
most certainly hope they are. We
want an expression from the Amer
lean people.

CONTRACT WORK.

The cost per mile Of privately
constructed railroads. undertaken ii
recent years, was referred to briefly
by Secretary of the Interior Lane
in his statement TO Congress rela-
tive to the progress made by his
department in the construction OF
the governments railroad in Alaska
His reference, however, had 70 Do
with cost only. nothing being said
about the time required to do the
work, under private direction.
The secretary should have remind

time in this country. Of the time
required TO build the Willamette
Pacific line and the San Diego &
Arizona railroad. both of which
were under construction during the
war period. The secretary has
shown that private construction IS
not less costly than government con-
struction in Alaska: review OF
the work accomplished IN the WI
annette Pacific and the San Diego d
Arizona shows that contractors arr
large consumers Of time. as well as
money.
The Willamette Pacific and thu
San Diego q Arizona were the only
two railroads in process Of building
under contract, during the war.
The former extends from the main
line of the Southern Pacific rail
road, at Eugene. Oregon, to Marsh
field Coos bay, Southwestern Ore
gon, a distance Of 125 miles. Tbs
work on this line was begun II.
June, 1912, and reached a stage OF
completion so as to permit the OF
Grafton of trains in September,
1917.
The original amount appropriated
for the work, by the directors of
the road, based on estimates fur
nished by expert railroad engineers,
was seven and half million dol
lars, but, owing to the abnormal
conditions created by the war, this
appropriation was increased to
twelve million dollars
The contract for the building Of
this road was awarded to the first
class contracting firm Of Macarthur
Perks & Co., Ltd, Of Toronto. Can
ada, and it took them over five
years to complete l25 miles of rail
road.
The other piece Of road let out
on contract is known as the San
Diego & Arizona railroad. This
road runs from San Diego. Califor-
MIA, to El Centre, Imperial Valley,
California, a distance. of 1913 miles.
part of it being in Mexican terri
tory.
Construction work on this line,
which was begun in 1908. is still in
progress, and it is expected that the
road will not be completed for at
least one year more, although, for
the past four years, the work has
been in the hands Of such compe-
tent contracting firms as Twohey
Bros, of Portland, Oregon, and the
Utah Construction company, the lat
ter company being rated very high.
Much of this road consists OF
tunnels, viaducts and rock work,
and is very similar in character to
