Who Lied?
The news that Hall had come to
succeed Scholtz was rinted in the
Boise papers. Immediately there
after the Nampa Nonpartisan league
paper printed a statement that Hall
had been sent here merely to assist
Scholtz and that the latter would
continue to be in control. The States
man then announced that its informa
ton had come direct and voluntarily
from Ray McKaig, head organized of
the league in Idaho, and there has
been no denial of that statement. The
editor of the league newspaper. Mr..

A Free Pulpit

Independent thought and free speech re-
ceived emphatic support when the executive
council of the Free Synagogue formally upheld
the right and duty of Rabbi Wise ito speak the
truth as he sees it upon any question. whether
it be religious, spiritual, social or political
The occasion for this exemplary avowal was
a protest by various members of Dr. Wise's
congregation against his recent criticism OF the
attitude toward organized labor assumed by
Chairman Gary of the steel corporation. With.
out passing upon the timeliness or the taste OF
the sermon thus assailed, the expression OF the
executive council was made all the stronger by
its restriction to the reafirmation of the basic
principle Of the synagogue's constitution, which
IS that its pulpit is dedicated to freedom and
truth.
Freedom is sometimes abused and the truth
is sometimes inexperienced by men of the
cloth as we'll as others, but the remedy in such
cases is not shackles or ostracism. 1t is con-
ceivable that minister Of any faith might en-

Time to Keep Cool.

Just as The Bee advised soberness of
thought and expression when the country was
about to enter the war, so now it advises all
to act in the industrial crisis that looms so
dark. No revolution is likely, for the men on
both sides are ardent patriots, devoted to Amer
lean institutions and unwilling to disturb them.
Questions involved are economic and not politi-
cal Differences Of opinion as to industrial
policy are sharply outlined, and there must be
recession on both sides. Ground on which all
can stand exists, and will be found if wisdom
prevails Neither side is wholly in the right
and neither is entirely wrong Threats from
either are cheap, and will not help to reach the
settlement that is needed before the forward
march can be started again. A little cool coun-
sci now will be of immense service to all the
world Dictation from either capital or labor
will not be long brooked by the public, and the
one that tries it will be loser in the end, no
matter how great its temporary victory.

End Of daylight Saving"

When the clocks of the country were moved
back today to register standard time again, one
of the foolish experiments of the war came to
an end. Conceived in the best Of intention the
plan to encourage early rising failed to bring
the result promised for it. It's effect was the
opposite. Habits established on the progress of
the sun in its course were upset, and clamor
soon arose from the farmers and others, who
found that nature was not to be adjusted by
arbitrary rules. Claims of immense economies
following the daylight saving" innovation have
not been supported by substantial proof, but
the inconvenience endured by those who pro-
tested was real enough. BY some curious
process Of reasoning. the president found him
self sufficiently engaged to twice interpose his
veto against an effort to repeal the, law, but
was overridden by congress on the second oc-

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

The time has not yet come to assign Theo-
dore Roosevelt his place in American history,
beyond the indsputable fact that his name
stands High among the greatest He may fall
little short of the enthusiastic eulogies Of his
devoted adherents, certainly he exceeds in meas
ure the stature conceded him by his opponents.
On one point all agree, his intense. unswerv-
ing love of America and his unflinching cham
pionship OF our free institutions. From his
first appearance in politics. as a member of the
legislature Of New York almost forty years ago,
then just out of college, to the day of his death
last January, his career was an inspiration be-
cause of the energy and sincerity of his battle
for right and justice. The many-sidedness OF
his genius manifested in science, literature,
politics, craftsmanship, military leadership de-
noted him an unusual man.
He suffered not little in estimation be-
cause the public seized on phrases and asso-
ciated them with the man, separately from their
context. The big stick" was one of these, and
"his spear knows no brother" was another Yet
there is something in them characteristic of
Roosevelt his swiftness to act, his stern de-
termination when once a course had been
chosen, gave color TO such expression, and in
this way served to justify popular fancy in ac-
cepting them as personal to the human dynamo
who had brought them into common parance.
His last years, his latest effort, were devoted
to arousing his countrymen to the danger in
which their liberties stood, His pleadngs for
preparedness were the promptngs Of an ardent
nature ahame with patriotism and his criti-
cisms of the course of the country in war the
expressions of judgment tempered by long ex-
perience. 1t is one of the least creditable parts
of our national record in the war that the pres-
dent could not see his way to give this great
American more adequate employment in con-
nection with the struggle
The birthday of Theodore Roosevelt is to be
observed tomorrow by a general demonstration
throughout the land. It marks the conclusion
Of popular subscription to provide two
memorials, one at Washington, in the form Of
monument, the other at Oyster Bay, where
Roosevelt Park will be set up as perpetual
public pleasure ground in honor of the villages
most notable citizen.
This should not be the end of public OBJ
servance of the day. As time moves forward,
the services Of Theodore Roosevelt will be
more clearly understood and more highly valued
by Americans, and greater honor will come to
him with better understanding of what he did
for his country
