THE SECOND WESTERN
CANDIDATE

"a ENATOR Hiram johnson of Call
N) fornia Is a candidate for the Re-
publican presidential nomination. In
a formal statement issued Saturday he
made this announcement. lie is the
second western candidate to get into
the running. Senator Miles PoindeX-
ter OF Washington being the first,
Since his entrance into public life
and the political arena Hiram Johnson
made u record for efficiency while a
governor of California but upon that
record was elected to the United States
senate. The fact that he has entered
the list OF presidential aspirants In
dicates very clearly that the peace
treaty and the league of nations are
destined TO become paramount issues
during the next campaign. Senator
Johnson has been among the foremost
to denouuce both. He will go before
the people on the treaty issue
A man of determination, positive In
his stand, Senator Johnson realizes
the handcaDs he must face In his
campaign. Commenting thereon he
said in his announcement: "Of
course any success for me must come
from the people themselves, not from
a certain we'll known class OF poll
ticlans or from those interests that
make such politicians. Wherever II
is possible I am going direct to the
people" That Is good beginning al
least. The people after all must de-
of the United States.

WELL EARNED PRAISE

| a EcRETARY Houston of the depart
~ ment of agriculture pins several
medals on the American farmer In the
course of his annual report. Taking
both acreage and yield per acre into
account, the secretary of agriculture
says that the American farmer pro-
duces two and one half times as much
as the Belgian and German farmer,
two and three tenths times the produc-
duction of the British farmer three
and two-tenths times as much as the
French farmer and more than six
times what the Italian agriculturist
produces. The countries under inten-
sive cultivation, like Belgium and Ger
many, get a higher yield per acre. but
that is only one item in the bill. In
the amount of food produced, no other
country approaches America.
Crop production this year is placed
at three times the value of the average
annual output during the five year
period preceding the war--reaching a
total Of s15,s73. OOO,OO There has also
been an increase in the number and
value of livestock on farms, the total
value now being figured at $3.50, 000,-
600. The nation can further expand
production by cultivating unused till
able land, estimated at about 90 Der
cent of the total. Such expansion, of
course, is limited by the available la
Dor and capital.
! OF the secretary's recommendations
the most attractive is for continuation
Of the road building program and in
creased rural school facilities.

the PASSING OF TOM AND JERRY

TTHE decision Of the supreme court Of
the United States in holding con-
stltutional the wartime prohibition act
must have been bitter pill to those
vets who had been living in hopes
there might be a short respite before
the nation went bone dry. But that is
not to be. The highest tribunal of the
land has given the death blow to Tom
and Jerry and their boon companion.
John Barlcycorn. All hopes OF a wet
Christmas have gone glimmering.
The cases decided were those OF tho
Kentucky Distilleries e. Warehouse
company of Louisville Ky, and Dry
foos, Blum & company Of New York
for the purpose OF compelling the gov
eminent to release whisky from bond
MED the contentious OF .Elihu Root and
other prominent attorneys for the dis
tillers that the wartime prohibition act
Is in violation OF the constitution Of the
United States. in that it takes private
property without compensation; that
tho period Of the war emergency for
which the act was passed. has termin-
ated and tho law was an interference
with state police powers and an undue
exercise Of the war powers Of congress
The courts decision brings force
fully to mind that the United States is
still at war and all wartime measures
II this country desires to put them into
effect, still exist and may be put into
force and effect II the government de-
sires to resort to them.
To Idaho the decision is OF little in
terest, aside from the courts views on
legislation that was passed during the
war as an emergency. 1t has been dry
in Idaho SO long that people have
ceased to give the subject serious at
tention. However, now that .tssSsentire
nation Is bone dry It is interesting to
mako the historical note that after all
idaho was one Of the first states ir the
union to pioneer the way for prohibit
ton.
