While the writer does not claim

The Nonpartisan league bosses are
clever men. They are adept at play

learned how simple it is to extract

one can only make the man believe
that he has been wronged, that he is
the victim OF something or other, or
that some injustice has been "put

that they have passed the peak of

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
CITIZENSHIP

Every presidential year, some group
Of well intentioncd reformcrs get into
the political game with a widely her
aided determination to clean up poll
tics. And almost invariably those per-
sans are individuals who have, in pre-
cecding years, left matters of politics
and government to their neighbors.
Only when conditions become irk-
some to them do they step into the
arena with the we'll intentioned and
equally impossible aspiration to
change thingssat one fell swoop. De-
feated. these groups almost invaria-
bly, sink into the oblivion that they
know so well.
In the United States. the problem
is not so much cleaning up politics
as II is in increasing the number OF
politicians. II every American citizen
exercised his right and assumed in
dividual responsibility for the duty OF
citizenship. we would have no occas-
ion for radical reformers, mud sling
ers and perennial "clean up" gangs.

would have been swept to the White

Fundamentally, il is the same thing
that acMated the vote Wednesday al
Chicago in favor of the league of ma

sentiment in the United States is sted-
lily crystallizing in opposition to that
document as it was presented to the
senate for ratification. And it is quite
apparent that the idealistic appeal
made by the proposal still constitutes
a powerful magnet for women and will
continue to hold wonens' support.

Have you ever stopped to consider
that Idaho has almost as many po-
tential governors as there are hats in
the presidential ring? So far, no can
didate can be said to lead the field in
either the gubernatorial or the pres

thought, It is not amiss to suggest
that Idaho may as well have two or
three favoritc sons in the race for

PEAT ESTABLISHED AS FUEL

In 1919 peat established itself as a
fuel more firmly than ever in Den

the industries, by the private rail-
roads and In the country districts,
where It Is practically the only fuel.
Twelve million peat bricks were taken
from the marshes in the Odense dis
trict In 1918, and while figures are not
available for 1919. it is estimated that
the number was considerably larger.
The electrical works of the town of
Svendherg have successfully used
peat gas instead of petroleum. AS Il

disadvantages, requiring a larger boil
