the League Of Peace when 1t publishe
this editorial on May 8. 1920:
1Stand BY The League"
The G. o. p. should have care
how far It goes in discrediting the
league of peace. Every sentiment
OF that league is Republican, be-
cause II 10 on the side of human
ity. Especially should II beware
that partisan difference should not
become involved in the treaty.
Standing by that covenant viii be
alongside of the crushing of seces-
sion and the abolition of slavery
and will prove one of the noblest
memories of party service. The
@. o. p. cannot afford to divide its
ranks by fighting the League. II
is not now a question OF details,
but one of generalities. While the
covenant may not suit all, its gen.
eral idea does, and It is the gem
eral Idea ana not the phraseology
that is to become the cuimination
OF the league. II we are to trust
our progress 10 human statement
wholly. II will be tardy and uncer-
tain. The q. o. p. ought not 10
permit that. The covenant will
drive war from the earth and the
Republican party win stand for
that heroically"
But after Harding was nominated
The Independent began to try to follow
him, wiggling and wobbling. until a.
nally II has pitched headlong over tn,
precipice that marks the line between
iecency and infamy.
In Wednesdays issue II takes par
lgraph from the League OF Nations In
regard to the traffic in women and
OF some countries in Europe
md misconstrues II in a manner that
amounts to the vilest slander against
every Christian statesman that had
my part In formulating the League
The Independent says 1t means the
League will only supervise" the traf-
ic, insinuating that 1t will make no
effort TO stop the horrible business
President Of the United States, Lloyd
George, Clemenceau, and the other
eading statesmen of the world will
'xert their power through the League
o end this evil. The diplomatic Ian

deas of 50 nations are to be brought

SNOW TURNS TO RAIN
RAIN TURNS TO SNOW
ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE BEING
STORED In SOIL FOR NEXT
SEASONS CROPS

The snow of Saturday turned to rain
Saturday night and it continued all
day Sunday and until midnight Sun
Fday night, when the temperature drop
ped and the rain again turned to
snow. 1t is believed that more than
two inches of water has fallen since
Saturday morning, when snow began
falling on frozen ground and accum-
ulated a depth of several inches. The
weather turned warmer toward even
ing and the snow turned to rain.
The government weather bureau at
the University reports .35 of an inch
of rain fall Saturday and 1.30 of an
inch Sunday, making a total of 1.65
inches of rain fall up to this morning.
The snow that has fallen will push the
precipitation close to two inches, it
is believed.
Sundays rainswas the heaviest that
has been recorded here in the winter
for many years. The rain never
ceased from Saturday evening to
Sunday midnight and during Sunday
afternoon it came down in torrents.
The snowfall of Sunday night was
about four inches, but it was very wet
and heavy, being equal to several
times that much snow, in the amount
of water contained. The snow was so
wet and heavy that it played havoc
with the telephone wires, breaking
scores, if not hundreds of the wires in
town and demoralizing the service.
Linemen have been busy all day re-
pairing the broken lines and custom
ers are asked to have patience and
rest assured that the work is being
done as rapidly as possible.

Tekoa Wins Light Fight.

The city council of Tekoa has final
ly won it's fight with the Washington
Water Power company over the ac-
ceptance of the franchise under which
the Idaho Washington Power and
Light Company operated in this city
before their business and equipment
was taken over by the w. w. P. Co.
The latter concern, through report
by Mayor Phillips, has finally agreed
to unconditionally accept the terms of
the franchise and abide by them,
even being SO liberal as to request the
city to prepare an instrument of ac-
ceptance according to the councils
own wishes in the matter. This offer
was accepted and the mayor and city
attorney were instructed to draw up
the document.-Tekoa Blade.

The Railroad Problem.

The most important of the domestic
issues is the railroad problem. From
the Rhine east we have a beautiful
picture of the results that follow the
collapse of transportation. Hardening
land decay of the railroad arteries is
the worst calamity that can befal1 a
nation, and the United States has for
|years shown premonitory symptoms of
the disease. The mere return of the
railroads to their private owners Mar.
1st won't cure the trouble caused by
over work and underfeeding, says an
editorial in the February Sunset More
tracks, larger terminals, more cars
and locomotives will do it, but these
things cost billions and very little
new money will go into railroads SO
long as a quarter of the country'S
mileage is just one tie ahead of the re-
ceiver.
1t will cost this magazine money if
freight and passenger rates are raised
again, and unlike the average manu-
facturer or merchant the publisher
cannot pass the increased cost on to
the consumer. Nevertheless we are
willing to stand the gaff of increased
rates in order to forestal transporta-
tion breakdown on the European
model.
But we want an impartial, non-po-
litical body to supervise not only the
remaking of the rate structure, but to
pass on all wage demands and to okeh
or veto new financing plans. We are
willing to pay fair price for trans.
portation, but we object to more pie
for favored group of workers and we
don't want to help pay good interest
on more watered stock or manipulated
bonds

wounded by shots have completely re-
covered.
Twenty-four men, rounded up after
the shooting, were charged with Grim
inal activities, but several of these
have since been released.
