FRISCO NEWS
is BEST TONIC
President Pleased Over Results
of First Day.

WASHINGTON. June 2e.-President
Wilson today was described as highly
pleased" over the results of the first
day of the democratic national conven-
tion. n
One official at the whitehouse said the
convention news was tine best tonic the
president has had since his illness.
The story of the convention vas re-
ceived over a United Press leased wire
running into the whitehouse and car
ried to the president.
Copies were made for other officials
also and throughout the day a little
group sat in the executive offices read
ing the United Press dispatches.
Probably the most pleasing feature to
the whitehouse was the effect Of the
keynote speech Of Homer S. Cummings.
But what officials regarded as of more
practical significance was the apparent
willingness of the convention to indorse
the president and his administration.
1t was said that If this sentiment at
the convention continues to prevail, it is
probable that Wilson viii have nothing
more to say for publication until the
convention has finally adjourned.
1t was declared Wilson has had no
long distance telephone conversations
with San Francisco since the conventi66l

WOMEN ENTHUSE

OF CONVENTION

Rx MRS. GEORGE RAss.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-f well
begun is half done" were really the truth,
the delegates to this greatest OF all con-
ventions would be starting homcward to-
night instead of enjoying themselves in
this wonderful city for the rest Of the
week, for never was a better beginning,
and surely never has there been q more
inspiring keynote speech than that OF the
chairman OF the democratic national
committee.
At a caucus OF the women called after
ward to discuss other matters one en-
thusisst moved that this speech be az
cepted as voicing the spirit and senti-
ments Of all the women present and an
other announced that the national COM
n,ittee might as well save itself the ex-
pense OF a handbook as all the informa-
tion necessary to go out and win the
campaign was contained in this pro-
nouncement OF the achievements and
principles of the democratic party.
WOMEN REPRESENT
MANY PUBLICATIONS.
Old convention campaigners say this is
one OF the most comfortable so far as
arrangements, acoustics and weather arc
concerned, that has ever been held.
Notable among the hundreds of corre-
spondents gathered from the four quar-
ters Of the country are a number Of
women representing daily papers, week
lies and women's magazines.
am told that only one Of the leading
women's magazines had the courtesy of
a press sent in Chicago-only one woman
representative. that IS for there are still
editors abroad in the land who think ths

writing up anything for or about women.
However, II is to be hoped on this oc-
cssion that the editor who wired his rep.
resentative cut out the politics and send
us sob stuff.'" is in the minority.
FOR POLITICS,
NOT SOB STUFF"
For women are here for politics, not
to supply 5tional thrills 10 that par
ticulsr kind Of editorial sanctum, and
they have very definite ideas, far removed
from sob STUFF and lovely distractions.
Nothing more flercely downright and
concrete than a woman bent on political
action has ever made its advent in
American life.
No sooner had the women adopted a
resolution Of thanks to Gov. Roberts of
Tennessee for calling a special cnvention
In order to urge ratification than other
women called attention to the need for
haste. since the women of eight states
will lose their primary votes unless
prompt action is taken.
Once we would have been content with
the mere announcement that the session
would be called.
No. everything except politics is ad-
turned as far as the women of this con
vention are concerned and they are con-
tent to leave fuss, feathers and frivollty
to the visitors who are making the city
gay with their red caps as they flock

"EX-SOLDIERS."

Quite frequently, even the most cas-
ual reader OF newspapers is confronted
with headlines. more or less conspic-
uously displayed, announcing the fact
that some "ex-service man" is accused
of violating some law. Not iufre-
Quently, the fact that perpatrator of
the crime was q former service man
overshadows the news value of his
deed. The basic fact is that news
papers generally seem to have at
tached more than usual Importance
to anything lawless that service man
may have done.
The American Legion Weekly, in
commenting upon this fact, pointedly
asks why it is not just as relevent
and of even greater news value to la
bel other crimes as having been done
by slackers. And the point is we'll
taken. The only difficulty lies. OF
course. in the inability of reporters
to distinguish those men who evaded
military service while man with a
military record seems to be as con-
spicuous as the seasons first straw
hat. Sometimes we are inclined to
suspect that over jealous reporters
are likely to assign military service
to some law breaker to add to the
worth of the story.
An injustice is undoubtedly being
done the mass of men who were in the
service of the United States during
the world war. 1t is impossible for
four million men gathered as the
American military forces were gath
cred, to be made up entirely of law
abiding citizens. Some of them un-
questionably had delved in the ways
of crime long before they ever saw
= uniform while others may possibly
have taken up life in the underworld
since severing their relations with In
Gle Sans military forces. Physically,
American soldiers maintained high
standerd; morally. they probably did
not vary greatly from the average
Americans. It Is quite possible then
that on basis of population, for
every twenty-five crimes committed
in the United States one. may be at
tributed to former service man, We
doubt whether men who wore the uni-
form Of the United States will be
found so frequently on the police rec
ords of this country. The fact that
crime committed by a service man

one perpetrated by his civilian brother

HIRAM JOHNSON.

More and more marked in this sec
ton of Idaho is the antagonism to
Hiram Johnson, one Of the three lead
ing Republican presidential aspirants.
Supported by Senator William E.
Borah and campaigning on platform
Of direct and unqualified opposition to
the league of nations. Mr. Johnson
will enter the Chicago convention with
almost as many votes as Leonard
Wood. at present the leading candi-
date.
1t is current political talk in Idaho
that Senator Borah expects to carry
at least seven Of the eight Idaho votes
to Johnson's banner on the second
ballot at Chicago. Those persons who
felt the power Of the Borah machine
at Occur d.Alene believe that it lies
within possibility that Senator Borah
will be able to accomplish that very
thing. 1t is also quite definitely de-
termined that on the first ballot Wood
and Hoover will take the majority OF
of the Idaho delegates. In other
words if on later ballots Idaho's dele
gates cast their votes for Hiram john
SON. 1t is in accordance with Borah's
dictates and not according to the con-
victions Of each representative of
Idaho Republicans.
If Mr.. Borah is thus able to con-
troll Idaho politics, it is time that
someone else is taking his place in the
United States senate and as the
spokesman of Idaho Republicans. If
Canyon county sentiment is. criter-
ion Of the sentiment prevailing over
Idaho. Hiram Johnson has no more
than handful of supporters among
Republicans of this state. Here there
are many men waiting for the con-
vention who have been lifelong Re-
publicans and openly assert that they
can never support Hiram Johnson for
the presidency of the United States
in the event that he is nominated. We
have reason to believe that this senti-
ment is state wide and is by no means
confined to this section.
It is unfortunate that the first west
ern man who has stood the slightest
chance of becoming the president of
the United States cannot be given the
unqualified. support Of every western
state. Rather than Hiram Johnson in
the presidential chair, there are many
who would forego any possibility OF
selectinR . western man for president
for many elections to come. Idaho
and the remainder of the west can
fare fairly well with q succession OF
eastern men in the White House.
What Johnson would bring is prob
Iematical.
Today, Johnson is the only Repub-
lican presidential aspirant that The
Tribune feels is not worthy his party
and the honor that he seeks. We be-
lieve that his nomination at Chicago
may mean q Democratic victory in
November. His election would be a
national calamity. Wilson may have
disappointed the radical element in
America but Hiram Johnson never

POWER RATES.

Idaho is definitely aligned with
those states which propose to give
public corporations an opportunity to
extend their service and make a fan
profit on the investment if the de-
cision Wednesday granting increases

light rates to be CHARGED by the Ida
no Power company is any criterion.
In essence, the problem which con-
fronted the public utilities commission
was this: to permit the company to
make needed improvements and ex-
tensions to supply demand for great
ly increased electrical service for irri-
cation purposes, additional income
must be available. Funds were moi
forthcoming on the company's present
earning capacity to make those i'm

be made if the Idaho Power company

with the states development.
Too much regulation has throttled
public utilities over this country to
the point where mediocre service is
the rule rather than the exception
Many such companies are facing re-
ceiverships and others have long since
passed the place where they pay any
return on the money invested in their
property. OF course, It is wrong
In lieu of the situation confronting
Caldwell and its tributary district in
the matter of one such utility, toll

corporations who are making the
same fight which the Caldwell Trac-

Idaho has vast undeveloped power
resources. 1t doesn't matter whether
the Idaho Power company or any 9th
er company owns or controls every
single one of the available power
sites; they cannot be developed until
investors are assured at least an
equitable return on the capital es-
Isential to develop them. 1t is safe to
say that, with the possible exception
OF reclamation, no other factor is
more greatly retarding the growth OF
this state than the fact that Idaho's
power resources cannot, find capital

under the sun why public utility cor

same privilege of development and
expansion, that is. conceded any pri-
