1T has failed us on the peace
treaty.
| 1T has failed lis in reconstruction.
1T has failed us in the high cost
of living.
1T has failed us in intelligent

The present congress has failed.
1t has failed with completeness and
abandon.
Mr.. Gompers speaks of the power

are seeking to cripple democracy"
and cites the passage of the Esch-
Cummins railroad bill, the Kansas
court of industrial relations law and
the conduct of the steel companies
in the late strike of steel workers
as evidence of tn eactivity of these
forces.
He declares that the congress now
in session has CLOSED its ears to the
great hymnal of sacrifice and service

plunged into the war to save hui

The article adds:
1.-THE American Federation of
Labor has called upon the working
people of our country to go into the
primaries and into the elections,
visiting singing rebuke and defeat
upon those who have been deaf to
the needs and the wishes of the great
masses of our people. At this hour,
early in the great struggle as it is,
the response is amazing and inspir-
ing. The heart of the nation beats
as it beat in the stirring days of
1918"

CANAL COMPANY SIGNS
AGREEMENT ON A. f. DAM

An agreement was entered into
Friday between the reclamation de-
partment of the federal government
and the Twin Falls Canal company,
providing for the retention of 100,-
900 acre-feet of water in the pro-
posed American Falls dam for the
use of Twin Falls Canal company
users.
This is the first actual step that
has been taken toward the construc-
ton of the big dam.
Canal companies turnout Idaho
are now expected to take similar
action. The Idaho Irrigation COM
pany, with headquarters at Gooding,
the North Side Twin Falls company
and many others are said to be ready
to sign the contract with the gov
eminent. These companies have
been waiting, SO it is said, on the
action of the Twin Falls Canal COM
pany investigators.
When sufficient contracts have
been signed it is expected that the
government will announce It's plans
for the opening of the Minidoka ex-
tension project.

SCOTS CAN'T STAND
UP BEFORE AMERICAN
BRAND OF FIREWATER
(By Universal Service)

LONDON. - "Snakebite" is the
name given to brands of American
whisky shipped to Scotland from the
United States. The liquor has
knocked out some of the most hard
ened Scots, and Captain Christie,
chief constable of Greenock, makes
it the subject of special report.
In Greenock a number of saloon
keepers have been selling this imma-
ture spirit (mostly low-grade, raw
rye) or have been mixing it with
Scotch distilled WHISTLES, but both in
its pure and blended form the
American liquor has had devastat-
ing effects
Captain Christie says:
'The effects of pre-war whisky,
even when it had not been bonded
for three years before being retailed,
were nothing in character to that
which is being sold today. No
doubt the whisky of pre-war days
was responsible for many cases of
dICoiioiiC pOloOuiHS, but ILLS <ldtSSL
type of whisky not only poisons but
maddens, and leaves persons after
the intoxicating effects have passed
away nervous and depressed.
An hour after the public houses
are open DRINKS are brought to the
police office in the most helpless
condition. Those who are not
knocked out are violent, and 9TH
ers, although they are able to walk,
are unconscious of their surround
ings, as though they had been
doped."
Since the quantity of whisky avail
able for consumption has been in
creased there has been an increase
of over 400 per cent in the appre-
tensions in Greenock under the in
toxicating liquor laws.

WORLD RECORD PRICE
(By Universal service)

LONDON.-A mezzotint engraving
by Valentine Green, A. R. NJ, after
Sir Joshua Reynolds's painting of
the Ladies Waldegrave, has been
sold by Christie's for $13,5O0. Au-
thorities of the British Museum be-
lieve the price is world record for
a mezzotint.
A copy of the engraving sold for
$3.50 in 1886, and others in 1897 for
$4,000, and a third in 1901 for $2,-
625. Green engraved twenty-five
plates from canvases by Reynolds,
who declared that his name would
go down to posterity as a result of
Green's excellent interpretations of
his works.

WILL POSTPONE
ACTION ON BILLS
Action to Determine
Inability of Wilson
Held Up.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. lead
ers of the house have decided to
postpone action until after the cleo
ton on all the several bills pro-
posing methods of determining the in
ability of president of the Unit
ed States to perform the duties of
his office.
Although there was no intention
Of making the law effective until at
ter March 4, 1921, when President
Wilson's term expires, the Republi-
cans say they learned the Democrats
were preparing to make political cap
ital out of the enactment of such
legislation. The Republicans, there
fore, deemed postponement the wis.,
er thing to do in order to avoid hay
ing to defend themselves on charge
of making partisan matter Of the
presidents illness.
The policy Of the majority leaders
will be to have the Republicans on
the judiciary committee frame q res
olution which can be rushed through
should an emergency demand such
action before the election. Once the
question is removed from the pale
of politics, however, it is the plan
to press the legislation for amend
ment.
Republican legal authorities on
the judiciary committee have reach
ed the conclusion, after studying
the question, that constitutional
amendment is not necessary for the
creation of machinery for deter
mining presidents inability. These
authorities also hold that it is de-
sirable to have the question deter
mined by other than legislative pro-
cedure.
The opinion prevails that the title
to any federal office may be tried
under quo-warranto proceedings
provided by the old common law.
But in the case of the high office of
president it is thought a tribunal in
keeping with the dignity of the ques-
tion at issue should be provided. An
ordinary district court, therefore,
would not be suitable, and the SUI
preme court cannot assume original
jurisdiction in matters other than
those specifically named in the con-
stitution.

timber ready to fall, but leave all
the trees with enough wood to in
sure their standing till they were
ready to start the drive. Suppose
there was an acre of it, and every
tree notched on both sides. When
all was ready they would cut several
trees at the edge of the clearing
enough so they would fall against
other trees that were notched, and
they would fall, each one falling
against others and knocking them
down. The whole tract would in this
way be downed within a few mo-
ments, the whole transaction accom-
panied by crashing and roaring like
a bombardment. 1t was the pride
of the woodsmen to notch the trees
in such way that every tree that
was notched would be downed dur
ing the drive and without any aid
from the ak.
Timber drives were considered
great sport, but they were also very
dangerous. 1t was quite an art to
notch the trees enough so they
would fall and not enough SO there
would be any chopping done more
than was necessary. II some tree
failed to fall when it was struck by
the others, it wrecked their plans
and it was disagreeable job to get
in and hack them and get the drive
started again. And when it did
start, somebody had to look out for
his own escape.
Then there were other dangers.
While they were notching the tract.
there might come gust of wind and
start the drive without warning and
the choppers would have to run for
their lives. Sometimes they would
be caught and crushed under heavy
trees. Sometimes a man working
alone would be the victim of pre-
mature drive and would have no.
body to rescue him.
The settlers of fifty and hundred
years ago spent much of their lives
destroying timber that would con-
stitute tremendous fortunes if they
had it now. In what was called the
Northwest Territory, Ohio, Indiana
and parts of Illinois and Michigan,
men burned walnut timber that be-
came almost priceless in the next
generation.
People in Idaho and otner west
ern states are doing something
equally Improbable and foolish in
taxing themselves to pay bounties on
the wild animals destroyed just at a
time when the fur bearing animals
are getting so scarce that they ought
to be taking every means they can
to multiply them for the fortunes in
furs. The stockmen have lost
heavily owing to the destruction of
sheep, calves and colts, but the wild
animals such as coyotes, bears and
wolves, if fenced in on game pre-
serves and allowed to multiply,
would yield rich revenue-it is
claimed much richer than it is pos
sible to make from the domestic
animals.
history keeps repeating itself in
some form or other for each succeed
ing generation, and it remains to be
seen whether this generation will
solve the wild game problem intelli-
gently or go on destroying their best
sources of wealth as did early set
tiers in eastern states with their
timber drives
