II is becoming apparent that one OF
the main contests in the assembly will
be between the advocates OF a republic
with all state divisions eliminated and
the advocates of a federal republic in
which separate states shall continue to
exist with we'll defined state rights. The
situation Is further complicated by
divisions within the ranks OF the ad-
vocates OF federal republic.
The former Conservatives and Ma
tional Liberals. all of whom favor a
federal republic, are opposed to any
division of Prussia, whereas a consider
able part OF the Centr!st party intends TO
fight for the creation OF West German
State formed from the Catholic terri
tories of western Prussia.
II appears unlikely, however, that
there is any considerable sentiment left
within the Centr!st party for the crea-
ton by 1t OF an autonomous independea n
republic. Sentiment In favor OF this
originally was created by the snti-churCh
DEGREES OF the former Prussan Minister
Adolf Hoffman,.
The most uncertain factor Is the Ger
man Democratic party. The Left wing
OF the Democrats Is almost red, but on
the other side are many delegates re-

LONDON, Feb. S.--The Government de-
partments in Berlin are working hard on
the preparation OF material for the Peace
Conference in Paris. The Foreign Office
has general charge OF the various ques-
lions which Germany hopes to negotiate.
At an official conference held ten days
ago the various departments reported
on the large amount of material they
have prepared, and It Is arranged there
should be daily conference Of Secretaries
of state in order to secure coordination.
Partly but not entirely for domestic
purposes. the democratic press MAIN
tsins necessarily that Germany will by
no means fail to play her own part in
tho negotiations and that there are
ample possibilities of separating the
Allies.

Ge6rg Bernhard. in n characteristics
article in the Vosstsch Zeitung, says:
Anybody who even superficially read
the English, American, French and 1tal-
Ian newspapers during recent weeks has
noticed with establishment the amount
Of dscord that exists among the En-
tente Governments: first there is
struggle between the Italians and the
southern Slavs about what are supposed
to be vital interests: then there Is fric-
ton between France and England that
turns upon the fact that Premier Gle
menceau and all the French imperialists
RELY upon the old secret treaty with
Russia Of the year 1917 by which France
was strengthened In Asiatic Turkey and
Europe and was given the Saar Basin
"But in particular France resists the
English plan by which her dominant po-
sition in Syria Is to be threatened by the
separation Of Palestine from Syria. Eng
land did not fight this war to put up a
strong France or strong Germany.
England needs a divided Europe. She
does not want a united Europe and does
not want any Power dominant on the
Continent 1t is enough for England 10
be able through the French possession
OF Alsace-Lorrane TO infame the nope
Of revenge in German hearts.
ION top of all these differences come
the difference in opinion between Eng
and and the United States. President
Wilson wants League of Nations in the
interests of the American people, because
the league IL expected to Danish the dan
ger Of future wars for America. but the
English rulers want League OF Ma
lions only as an ethical cloak for Eng
lands absolute domination. 1t lie OBJ
vious from the gigantic American plans

THE POWER
OF PUSH

As seat of cooperation Black
foot is like Versailles; we all want
to get together, but we all have
reservations to offer on the manner.
We all want a commercial club to be
the communities heart and hub, but
whichever way It turns to action
some of US are always getting mad
and standing upon our reservations.
The only way to cooperate Is to
practice the golden rule in bust
ness like way, give so per cent In
out right confidence and take SO per
cent in assurances, such as written
agreements in constitution form.
A league of nations is more loose
and distended than league OF mer-
chants, but it is doubtful II 1t can
operate il every member nation sets
up as many reservations in connec-
ton with supporting it as we OF
America want.
This must be ever in mind; body
of men has power only to the degree
in which they 60 in together unre-
servedly, knowing that altho things
will not be done according to the
best individual judgment, they will
be done and done forcefully il every
body puts in his push.F. G. X.

ECONOMY AND
EALLACY

1t is not so common as 1t used to
be, when stores were scarce in the
west, but some folks still do send to
mail order houses for articles that
could be bought over the counter of
the home town stores for the same
cost or less. Why they do 1t is a
question, unless 1t is an inherited
habit, dating from grandfather. who
had to send away.
Some merchants don't care. They
say that the people will find out for
themselves. They will be dissatisfied
with something they send away for
and quit 1t. Other merchants realize
the loss and declare that they could
extend their service IL the volume Of
business were larger.
One department store head in
Blackfoot made comparisons between
the mail order articles and his own,
choosing the identical article as near
as he could from the description. He
found that he could beat the Sears
and Sawbuck prices on rubbers from
5 to Is per cent; on canvas gloves
5k cents, and his work shirts cost
only cents more than the long dis
stance work shirt.
However the whole thing is mat
ter Of convenience, so close the prices
things match nowadays. In the
long ago here in Idaho it was the
only way to get things, but now the
demand of the population has set up
a large assortment of markets In
every line, and caused everything
to be brought to the locality and
placed on sale. 1t Is all matter Of
convenience, getting things right
away and seeing for yourself when

WHO
CARES?

Nobody seems to care, even tho a
good deal Of complaining is heard as
to high prices. However, so long as
wages climb and everybody can buy,
who cares anyway?
The wisest men, unmoved by any
financial considerations, can not deny
that these are unnatural times. The
United States is on a devils slide
bound somewhere-if prices come
down wages must drop, and if wages
don't drop work will stop.
Money is only worth SO per cent,
and yet people are spending it faster
than they did when it was normal.
The twelfth federal reserve district
is short $34,835,S92 of it's war saw
ings stamps quota. There is a
drouth of savings and food Of
spending.
Some folks laughed at the Ameri-
cans in France, who repudiated small
cnange and flung their five franc
notes about like newly-rich folks.
The French laughed too. 1t both
entertained and enriched them. They
are wise. No spree of super expendi-
lures for them, even now. They
haven't yet lifted the war restric-
tons on food.
And yet the folks at home, with
the help of the returned soldiers,
are acting in the very same way.
They are buying more extravagantly
the less money will buy. Where a
man used to buy SO shirt for SO, he
now buys SIS shirt at $10 Where
do we go from here? Who cares?
There is no spirit Of saving in this
people today. In the fever of relief
from the long restraint of war times
the whole country is passing the
fifty-cent dollar around with the ut
most speed and the least thought.
But woe unto the man, who when the
pinch cometh, has not an iron bound
income or sure thing job, for it
must be that the pinch cometh, after
such high fallutin money-free time
as we are now in the midst Of
