FIXING THE BLAME.

Washington, ID. g., January 26
While the county suffers in a
hundred different ways /the Re-
publican Congress fiddles as Nero
did while Rome burned. The
people back home are beginning
to ask questions about promised
legislation. They are fixing the
blame where it belongs in spite of
efforts to fool them
Observant exacting voters are
asking what has become of the
following propositions:
The bills to provide lands for
the soldiers who fought in the
World Warand kindred measures.
The conservation" bills that
have long been without action
including the water power and oil
leasing measures President Will
son has made a special effort to
have Congress act on the water
power bill. He recommended a
special committee to handle it.
The Senate finally has succeeded
in passing it, but it must now go
to a conference committee of the
two houses.
The bills to protect industries
that sprung up during the war and
now need protection from foreign
competition. The President has
urged proper measures for this i'm
portant line Of American endeavor.
Dyestuffs are included in this cat
egory.
The Presidents recommends
tions for the reduction of certain
war taxes and the readjustment of
others.
Legislation to permit the reor-
ganization of the army.
These and scores of other propo-
sitions necessary to the welfare of
the people are mislaid somewhere.

! RED" ROUND UP
WILL CONTINUE
WAR ON RADICALISM
HEARTILY APPROVED

Washington, ID. c., January 23.
The National Administrations
vigorous campaign againstradical-
ism is meeting with countrywide
approval, and if Congress grants
the appropriations just requested
by the Department of Labor the
rouud up of "reds" will continued
with Increased yigor and scope.
Following raids by the Depart.
ment of Justice which resulted in
the arrest of more than 5000 per-
sons suspected of radical tendencies
the Department of Labor requested
Congress to appropriate 81 900, 900
for the enforcement Of laws against
alien radicals, Sl50,000 for expense
of their deportation and $300,00O
to continue it's work of regulating
i'm IMMIGRATION.
The activities of the Department

alien radicals and seizing tons of
Objectionable literature and the
preparation of the Department of
Labor express the intent of the
Administration to pursue relent-
lessly the campaign against radi-
calism. Aliens who preach over
throw Of Government and violence
or who indulge in inhammatory
.utterances against American laws
and institutions will come imme-
diately under the surveillance of
Federal agents.
Within the past week agents of
the Department of Justice and the
immigration authorities have been
making arrests in scores of Ameri-
can communities.
1t is very significant that these
"raids" were so we'll conducted that
they came as surprise to the rad
icals as we'll as the country at
large. A chorus of commentator
in all sections of the United States
followed the first announcement OF

Louisville, KY, January 21.-
Merger of the Northern and South
ern churches under a new consti-
tuition and assumption of the name
of the Methodist Church was
agreed upon by the commission of
uuification of the Methodist Epis-
copal Churches in joint session

mendation, if adopted by the gen.
eral conferences, would eliminate

seventy five years ago over the
slavery question and which has
kept the approximately six million
members of the Northern and
Southern churches at differentials.
Included among the recommen-
dations of the Joint commission
was a proposal that the reunited
church have a supreme general
council of 800 members chosen
from the seven regional conferen-
ces. Six of the regional bodies
would have approximately l,OO0,-
600 members each, while the
seventh would comprise the negro
membership of $4,000. In three
Of these conferences the Northern
branch would predominant and
Southern congregations would
controlthree others.
The Northern church will vote
on the merger next May, it was
said, and ifthe merger is approved
the Southern church will call a
special session for act on the pro-
posal.

BRYAN'S QUOTATION.

Washington Star:
II was fortunate enough to be
sitting on the platform at the DEM
ocratic convention in Baltimore IN
1912 the day that the Nebraska
delegation shifted its support from
Champ Clark to Woodrow Wilson
and thereby turned the tide the
,latter's way.
"Mr. Bryan, in explaining the
action of the Nebraska delegation
said that it had been instructed to
stand by Clark until it was certain
that the Missourian could not be
nominated, and then change to
whoever it saw fi5. Pointing his
finger in turn at three well known
New York politicians, including
-'Boss' Murphy of Tammany, all
.staunch supporters of Mr.. Clark,
Mr.. Bryan said; AS long as | can
prevent it, you will not be able to
say to any Democratic nominee,
Remember thy creator"
Hardly had Mr.. Bryan got the
Bible quotation off his lips before
a. man of perhaps 60 years sitting
next to me arose to leave.
What, you are not going be-
