A COMPLIMENT TO
AN IDAHO MAN

A mighty movement has been
started in thirteen western states in
the interest of reclamation. Another
movement has been started and is
we'll under way to see that western
man is appointed secretary of the in
terror. The name of Mayor Fred
Reed of Idaho is being put forward
for that appointment.
While it Is a compliment to Major
Reed and Idaho to have him consid-
cred for cabinet office, Major Reed
gives a greater compliment by saying
that he is not q candidate for any
political office, that he is working for
reclamation and that he proposes to
keep right on working thru the
Idaho Reclamation and the Western
States Reclamation association. This
shows that Major Reed loves Idaho
and loves reclamation and is loyal
to both. II he could accomplish
more for reclamation by being Sec
rotary Of the interior he would prob
ably be willing to take that position
II 1t were offered him, but II recla-
nation can be carried further by
having some other western man as
secretary of the interior and Major
Reed as secretary Of the Idaho Rec
lamation association, then Major
Reed would want to remain right
where he is, where he knows the
work and can fill in that section Of
activities better than any other liv-
ing man.
A distinguished American states
man has said that he would rather
be right than president, and Harvey
w. Scott, editor of the Portland Ore
CONAN, when urged to become
candidate for the United States SEN
ate, thought it all over and said that
he would rather be the editor of the
Portland Oregonian than a member
of the United States senate. 1t en-
abled him to accomplish more be-
cause he had greater power and
greater influence, and nothwith-
standing the urgings of his country
men to be a candidate for that high
office, he went right along editing
the Oregonian instead.
If Major Reed were secretary of
the interior, reclamation would have
q fast friend in that office, but Major
Reed honors his present position
when he says that he proposes to
go right on in his present activity,
saying that he proposes to stay where
he is and continue the good fight of
organizing reclamation activities.
He reflects what General rGant said,
when he wrote, II propose to fight |
it out on this line, If it takes all |
summer"
The people of Idaho should get be-
hind Major Reed in his work and
stay behind him, and the way to do
that is for the individuals all over
the state to personally attend to
their own part of the mem bership
drive by sending their five dollar
check for membership to the Idaho
association, addressing
that firm at Pocatello It is the
fees that keeps the work
going.

Battle Cry of Freedom

BY MILDRED NORRIS
International News Service Staff

Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.--No less
place than the capital of the
United States may be the scene of
the birth of the new women's party.
Within its wall it is proposed to
hold the first convention of women
voters. It's marble corridors may
ring with the triumphant notes of
the women's marseillaise as 1000
women leaders gather to celebrate
the new power of their sex; draft
the first women's platform of rights,
and send over the world new battle
cry of freedom.
That plans are underway to hold
the convention in the capitol's ro-
tunda or statuary hall was learned
today for the first time. Alice Paul
who returned last night from New
York said no definite plans have been
made and would not until the meet
ing Of the executive committee Of the
national woman's party at the home
of Mrs. o. H. Belmont in Port Wash
ington, Long Island, next Friday.
Miss Paul returned to learn from
Attorney General Palmer the status
of Publications. A representative Of
the national woman's party will con-
fer with the attorney general today.
IF there are serious legal diff
culties in the way we want to know
them at our executive committee
meeting so we may take steps to
prepare for them" Miss Paul said.
''In our own minds we are finally
convinced that ratification is settled
but according to the press dispatches
great pressure is being brought by
the antis upon Attorney General Pal
mer and Secretary Colby to declare
ratification illegal. An opinion from
Palmer would clear the situation"

sanguine employer expected.
When he reached Adams street
there was in his wakeea jOstling num-
Der of more curious ones, anxious to
keep him In sight. yet loath to betray
their eagerness. He stopped at the
corner, mounted metal refuse box
near the curb and, removing his silk
hat with sweeping gesture, shielded
his eyes with his hand and stared
straight into the zenith. A minute or
more he remained thus, the human
jam thickening about him with every
second. The sidewalk became speedily
chOked. A policeman showed his way
through the congestion, reached W.,

his steps down the street, the crowd

In the afternoon he again sailed
