POOR GRANDAD.

POOR GRANDAD.
Makers of artificial teeth have

And said there wasn't any doubt
But that the old mans goose was

Unless he went and had EN- out.
Though grandpa shook his head and
whined
That minus teeth he couldn't chew.
We told him that he needn't mind
False teeth would make him good
as new.
SO grandpa to a dentist went
Complaining loudly all the while.
And left there with badly bent
And absolutely toothless smile.
He took on in shameful way
He'd cuss, and fuss and swear and
fret,
And so we went to town next day
To get an artificial set
But though we searched the city
through
poor grandpa always had bad
luck)
We found that all the people who
Build artificial teeth had struck.
a few boys sizes still they had.
But they of course were far too
small.
And fitted grandpa's jaw so bad
He simply couldn't eat at all.
He's getting thin and peevish now
He storms and RACES all about
And makes the dickens of a row
Because we had his teeth pulled
out.
Apart his jaws we have 10 pry
And feed him with table spoon
And he or we are due 20 die
Unless that strike is over soon

Just what Il the cause of the house
shortage over the country is q mys-
terry. One plausible explanation Is,
that because Of the automobile, people
are travelling more extensively now
than ever before and are not only
sight seeing but moving In greater
numbers from one part Of the country
to another. This is no doubt true. 1t
can be said from the standpoint of the

INrERDEPENDENcE,

| E7RANKLIN X. Lane. secretary of the
interior, made a declaration of in
Independence before the industrial
conference the other day. The time
appears to be ripe for the announce
ment. 1t seems to be a parallel to a
declaration of independence.
Happiness is relative term. To
one man it may mean wealth; to
another 1t may conjure up a picture
of a little farm, hay In the NOV, fresh
milk, butter and eggs. Still another
may think of happiness as state
reached only by the Utility to work
hard and obtain joy from labor. Ex-
perience has shown and continues to
show that life, to be worth living, lib
erty that means all the Declaration of
Independence implied, and the happiness
that every human being has a right
to seek, can not be secured as long as
one man takes advantage of another.
There is enough happiness to go round,
| if it is properly distributed. The prop
er distribution can be assured only
through living the doctrine of interde-
pendence. AS long as one man be-
lieves he is sufficient unto himself he
has succeeded in doing nothing aside
from becoming supremacy selfish,
Whenever he takes the view that it
is his duty to help his fellow-man he
has taken at least one forward step
along the new highway that men must
travel.
The desirable degree of interde-
pendence does not stop at one helpful
act, or a dozen such acts. 1t consti-
tutes a theory of living, whereby one
man admits the rights and privileges
of another. whereby one man is willing
to make concessions from his natural
viewpoint so that he may be in agree
ment and harmony with others around
him. Such concessions do not make
n mediocre plant of thinking because
the strong mind always will lead the
weak, but they do make for a higher
standard of common civilization where
by, through interdependence, the people
of the country may come nearer to the
individual independence the Declare
ton sought to guarantee them.

PECULIAR HOUSING CONDITION.

Mlo Doubt every city in the United
UN States, including Boise, is expert
encing one of the most peculiar hous-
ing situations in their respective his
tories. At one time 1t was thought this
condition was purely local-that Boise
alone faced house shortage. But in
vestigation shows that thousands of
cities and towns in all parts of the
United States are confronted with the
same problem. Nor can they give us
any information of value as to how to
solve 1t.
Fortunately Bosses civic organiza-
tions have taken the initiative in the
matter of releasing to incoming
strangers or others desiring to make
their homes in this city, a large num-
Der of houses. most of which are be-
ing held for sale and which the own
ers decline to rent. This is the condl-
ton with the more desirable houses.

This is an excellent movement
worthy of the support and active as

POSITION OF VICE PRESIDENT

N1OW that President Wilson IL In
I'm capacitated from performing his
official duties, although his condition
is improving daily, the official status
Of Vice President Marshall comes into
question for he may be called upon to
act as president.
The constitution leaves the matter in
doubt as to how he shall act. since it
provides no way of determining the
ing 1t imposed on any one. The pro-
cess was evidently intended to be au-
tomato, for the constitution says that
in case of the Inability" OF the presi-
dent ito discharge the powers and
duties Of the said office, the same shall
devolve on the vice president" It is
1.-The powers and duties" we suppose,
that "devolve" and not the office. But
1t is hard to see how, in such a case as
this, they can devolve. Rather, 1t would
seem that they must be assumed by
the vice president, or transferred and
assigned by the president. There is
also the question as to the extent Of
the inability" necessary to work the
constitutional devolution. As far as
the public knows there are duties
which the president is both physically
and mentally able to perform, but
which he cannot perform except at
great danger to himself. The only
thing to do Is to rely on the good sense
CT both the president and vice presi-
dent.
The question rose when President
Garfield was shot by an assassin. For
more than two months he was wholly
unable to act. We do not remember
that Mr.. Arthur attempted to perform
any of the presidential duties-cer-
tainly there was no general devolution
Of them. The situation at that time
was somewhat complicated by the lack
of friendly feeling between the presi-
dent and vice president. Fortunately
there is nothing of that now.

EDITORIAL OPINION OF
IDAHO EDITORS
USE OF cANTONMENTS
(Tribune. Ixewistonl

Government extravaganza was sig
nally exemplified in the disposal that
was made of many of the army can
tonments and posts that were erected
in this country during the war, says
an exchange. In the great majority
of cases, these camps were sold out
bodily to wrecking companies at an
enormous loss. This loss, of course,
was one that had necessarily to be
incurred If the cantonments were to be
demolished; but, after all. is 1t
really wise to demolish them From
the standpoint of health and santa
ton most of these cantonments were
very nearly perfect. Their locations
were carefully selected, and the very
best of engineering skill had been put
into their arrangement and erection.
They were consequently fairly close
to being ideal communities of their
kind, and as such, should have been
utilized for some constructive peace
time purpose. In England, for in
stance, some of the encampment sites
into sanatoria; and there should have
been very little difficulty for the Unit

rangements with the states or munich
