MUST CLEAN UP MOSCOW.

Elsewhere in this issue DR.. Leitch,
city health officer, has a "clean up
notice to property owners. 1t should
be needed, not only because of the
menace to health by the accumulation
of filth and rubbish, but because OF
the increased beauty of the town If
kept clean and neat. Moscow has
many fine homes and beautiful
streets. 1t is the center of education
and culture in Idaho. 1t is a town
in which every other section of the
state has a personal interest because
the states greatest educational in
stitution is here.
But it is more than that. The town
is to be host tomorrow to delegates
to the Knights Templar conclave, who
are coming in large numbers to at
tend their convention. The town
should be clean, neat and attractive
when they reach Moscow, for they
will return to their homes with just
the kind of impression the appear
ance of the town gives them. 1T The
alleys and vacant lots are Uttered
with rubbish they will tell the folks
at home that Moscow lacks civic
pride and is not as enterprising as it
should be.
Following this convention is that
of the northern Idaho chambers OF
commerce, representing the leading
towns in the 10 northern Idaho coun-
ties. There will be several hundred
delegates here, including many from
Boise, the capital of the state. We
want to take these people for drives
over the town and we do not want
them to see some portions of 1T IN
the condition they are now in. Let
us have the town thoroughly cleaned
and as pretty and slightly as possible
when these guests come.
Following the chamber of COM
merce convention on June A and 5
will be the greatest celebration north
Idaho has had on July 8, A and 5,
when thousands of people are expect
ed to come here to join in the three
days celebration. We want Moscow
to be in her best attire when these
conventions and gatherings are held
and it will cost no more to clean up
now, this week, before the Knights

For the first time in eight years
the republicans have complete con-
troll of both houses of congress and
will be enabled to control legislation.
If the party is not blinded by parti-
zanship to the exclusion of the good
of the nation, it has a wonderful
chance to make a record and carry
the national election in 1920. But the
American people will not be content
with an obstructive program, nor will
it be satisfied with partizan efforts
to discredit everything done by the
American people in the recent war
because the president happened to be
a democrat. We want construction
and not obstruction. This nation is
too big and our work too great to
devote the time of congress to petty
partizan quarrels.

United States senators democratic
and republican alike) who are so bit

OF SPOKANE FALLS

SPOKANE.-Plans are being pre-
pared under the direction of city au-
thorities for a permanent observation
platform adjoining Monroe street
bridge from which an unobstructed
view of the upper and lower falls
may be obtained by visitors. The
platform as planned will be consider
ably below the street level and will
be supplied with comfortable benches
and chairs. A splendid view of the
beautiful ~cataracts will be obtainable.

Templars reach here for the conven-
ton tomorrow for they will be here
until Saturday evening. The Royal
Arch Masons, from every part of
Idaho should be given a good impress
sion of Moscow.
1t will pay every property owner
to do his or her part in this ''clean
up" program, for, in addition to Civ
ing outsiders a good impression it
will be a personal satisfaction to have
this work done. Do not delay. Be-
done quickly.
Charges of unnecessary delay in
the peace-making now begin to look
ridiculous. The treaty handed to the
German delegates at Versailles yes
terday is the work of a conference
that was officially convened less than
four months ago. No other peace
treaty in history can compare with it
in complexity and scope; tested by
the presidents, indeed, it is a marvel
of speed in construction. 1t required
four months and 20 days to make the
peace treaty between France and
Germany in 1871. Our Spanish-Am-
erican war required four months and
IA days to close up after negotiations
The world has been so ner-
vous and so overweight by fears of
social revolution since the armistice
that the peace conference was spur
red into phenomenal activity, and this
was made possible only by the con-
c%entration of the entire work in the
hands of the inner council of four
Springfield Republican.

Many republicans are predicting
that Wilson will be the democratic
candidate for president in 1920 and
he may be reelected, thus break
ing another precedent, that of no
third term. If these republicans will
take the trouble to look backward
they will realize that Wilson has been
twice by votes of republicans
who were dissatisfied with the atti-
tude of the party leaders. The Unit
ed States is strongly republican. No
democrat will be elected if the re-
publicans are united. Instead of wor-
about what the democrats will
do the republicans should see that
their leaders do not again drive mem
oers of the party to vote for a demo-
rat for president. If Wilson should
be elected president for a third term
It will be by republican votes. There
are not enough democrats in the
States to do this.

No Secret Treaties.

Paris.-It has been learned that the
status of secret treaties and conven-
tions made during the war again has
arisen. Information obtained today
from some of the American delegates
to the peace conference was that the
action of a majority Of the commits
sion dealing with Grecian boundaries
in declaring that the treaty of London
Of 1915 was effective will not be per-
mitted to 20 unchallenged and could
not become effective unless ratified
by the council Of ten. which they as
serted would refuse its approval The
decision relative to the treaty OF Lon
don. which Is one Of those secret con-
ventions made during the war, is re-
garded as of the gravest Importance,
1t being declared to be in direct con-
f1ict with one of President Wilson'S
fourteen points, concerning such agree
ment and one relative to the right of
self-determination Of small nations. 1t
IL held that II the decision of the ma
jOrity Of the commission was upheld

firmation Of Italy's claims to nearly

from Paris. The military conditions
to be imposed ON Germany include
guarantees that no tanks will be built
and no more poison gas manufactured.
und that all German war material
must be handed over and destroyed.
The American members of the Su-
preme Council, 1t is understood, per
lnitted the military experts to exsr-
else their judgment regarding the
proper size and character of the fu-
ture German army. In order to have
a basis of Discussion, the Americans,

100000 men, but only because that
was the number mentioned In the first
armistice proposal.

up the subject of the limitation of
armaments of the policy Of a general
prohibition of conscript armies In all
nations. This Is on the theory that
the great expense Of regular long
term armies will be such as to auto

The decisions Of the various boun-
