that appeal he said that it was neces-
sary to have both houses of congress
in harmony with the chief executive
in order to successfully prosecute the
war, albeit the republicans in both
houses had supported all war meas
ures with the highest degree of loyal
ty and patriotism, even more Loyalty

dents own party in congress. The
appeal was couched in terms that re-

cans, and the stern resentment felt by
the people found expression in the
election of a republican majority in
both houses of congress.
Obiivious TO the costly mistake he
made two years ago, President Wilson
has again issued a direct appeal to
the people to elect a congress that
will ratify his league of nations. Again
he will receive the same answer, for
every day the tide Of opposition to the
league is growing stronger, and by
November it will have submerged
the nation, with the possible excep-
ton of the solid south. This govern
ment is going to remain free and in
dependent and the final effort of the
president to force it to surrender its |
sovereignty and accept that of a sup
erstate will fail. In issuing this ap- |
peal the president shows that he is |
still a very sick man, and his friends
should forewarn him of the shock
that awaits him on November 2.

The league of nations is nothing
more or less than a scheme to get the
United States to fight the battles of
Europe until such time as those ma
tions have recuperated from their ex-
haustion of the world war Without
the United States the league is i'm
potent With the United States the
league would at once become virile-
virile with the blood and wealth of
America.

DUNN AND FoRNEY.

Commenting upon the nomination
of Hon. James H. Forney and Judge
Robert N. Dunn for the office of JUS
tice of the supreme court respectively
by the democratic and republican
conventions some of our contemporar-
les regret that these eminent gentle
men should appear before the people
as party nominees. The implication
in the comments is that the knowledge
on the part of the successful candi-
date that he had been elected by po-
liticai partisans might bias him or at
least embarrass him in the discharge
of judicial duties. Such implications
are unjust such fears groundless
Both of the candidates are too high
minded. too thoroughly ingrained with
native honesty to be swerved from the
line of perfect rectitude in the per-
Torrance of judicial functions by any
extraneous influence. A keen, innate
sense of right and a profound knowl-
edge of the law would be the only in
auences to which either Judge Dunn
Or Judge Forney would or could yield
when on the bench. OFF the bench
10Th would perhaps be partisan, on
he bench either would be the impair
ial judge.

KEEP SHosHoNE COUNTY SAFE
FOR REPUBLICANS.

We can not win the national election
with democratic states, and it is
equally true that we can not win the
state election with democratic coun-
ties. The republican who boasts that
he votes for the man" in the county
election is not doing his duty to the
party to which he claims allegiance.
The candidates for county offices are
just as much the representatives of
the republican organization as are the
state and national candidates, and
they are entitled to the support of all
republicans who are affiliated with
the party To disregard the obliga-
ton to support county candidates
weakens the party organization of the
state, and a weakened state organiza-
ton is a distinct handicap for the ma
tional ticket to carry.
The republican county ticket is one
Of unusual excellence. Many of the
candidates have already rendered
faithful and efficient service to the
county and are entitled to endorse
nent by reelection. All other candi-
iates possess excellent qualifications
or the respective positions. RepubH-
ans, if there are any, who reserve |
he right of private judgment" in vot-
ng for county candidates should re-
member that they have a duty to the
'arty this year that transcends per-
onal preference. That duty is to do

SENATOR NUGENT AND THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

AS the audience dispersed following
the speech by Senator John f. Nugent
last Saturday evening a lady having
an accent suggestive of the Emerald
isle was overheard to remark with
fine discrimination in the choice Of
words. "The senator is certainly a
fine fencer" According to Webster
fence means ito banle inquiry by
equivocation or evasion; to parry ar
guments by shifting ground" and
fencer as "a shifty disputant" II the
lady had searched the dictionary to
find a word to describe Senator Nj
gents effort she could not have found
one that would more perfectly at the
case. The first statement he made in
connection with the league of nations
was an absolute misrepresentation
showing what appeared later in the
course Of his speech that he was act
ing upon the presumption that his
hearers had not read the covenant
With solemn emphasis and the words
were repeated later he opened his
discussion by saying: "The league Of
nations is for the purpose of prevent
ing war. and for that only" When a
witness in court purposely withholds
part of the truth. he violates his oath
just as effectually as if he had given
false testimony. Senator Nugent
knew that the prevention of war is
not the only purpose of the league Of
nations. and yet he deliberately stat
ed that it was, and upon that he ap-
pealed to the emotions of his hearers
and the innate desire of all normal
citizens to avoid war by picturing the
horrors of modern warfare. 1t is the
other purpose. the one which Senator

IT IS IMPERATIVE TO PRACTICE
THRIFT SAYS HOOVER.

Comparing the conditions that fol-
lowed the civil war with those of to-
day. Herbert Hoover has contributed
an article, Thrift and American Wo-
men," to the Ladies Home Journal in
which he points out the absolute ne
cessity for the practice of thrift as
means of gaining relief from the pres
ent abnormal economic conditions.
This, he says, is not merely a question
for statesmen and college professors
to worry over, for it reaches into
every American home and affects
every American family and individ-
ual. and these must find the remedy
in the practice of thrift OF the enor-
nous waste and extravaganza in this
country, Mr. Hoover says:
About one-third of our people
are responsible for most of the
extravaganza and waste in this
country. 1t is a heavy RESPONSE
bility that they bear If we could
convert this one-third to simple
living the problem would be solv-
ed.
ut is the one-third who are
guilty of extravagant eating and
drinking in public places. They
spend 100000 every night in New
York city alone on restaurant
suppers. The nation spends at
least a million dollars a day or
$685., 100000 a year in superfluous
eating at hotels and restaurants.
Again it is the one third who
are mostly responsible for the
waste involved in the use of jew
elry on which so many millions
are being spent We are now OBJ

other precious stones and articles
of ornament from Europe. Amer
lea sends to Europe shiploads of
useful commodities-food stuffs.

the following are taken:
Don't worry about how the
women will vote in November.
There are two things that the
women of the United States will

Daniel Guggenheim made some in
teresting remarks, which we quoted,
just before sailing for Europe He has
something to say on his return 1t is

mistake to think that Europe will not
have enormous purchasing power in
the future, and that Europe is doomed
to ruin" 1t would be sad indeed if
true, and we are glad that Mr.. Gug-

trary The countries on the other

in remarkable way" That is good
news. But, he adds, 1--WE can not ex-
pect an immediate recovery to normal

of the war. We are inclined to chortle
over the appreciation of the dollar as
compared with European currency
but Mr.. Guggenheim says advisedly
that "the low exchange rates will
prove of great benefit to the depleted
countries so far as getting production
under way is concerned This is par
ticularly true of Germany" In order
that the world. of which we are an in

Europe. as Europe used to do to us.
We must sell them goods and allow
them time to meet the payments. If
we expect those countries to produce
we must supply the materials with
which to work" All of which is true,
and therefore worth repeating.

Senator Nugents speech through
out was a fine illustration of law
yer endeavoring to make the very
best showing out of a very bad case.
In his zeal he undertook to place a
new construction upon the words of
Washington in his Farewell Ad-
dress. a document that for a century
and a quarter has been the rule and
guide for the people of this republic.
He said that Washingtons warning
against entering into "entangling al
hances" had no application to the
league of nations: that the only kind
of an alliance that Washington knew
anything about was one for offensive
and defensive purposes formed by the
monarchies of Europe as a means Of
extending their dominiOns or holding
their possessions This is the sort of
alliance that Washington had in
mind, said the senator for he knew
nothing about any other, and he gave
it as his opinion that if the Father of
His Country was alive today he would
be an enthusiastic supporter of the al
lance that Woodrow is endeavoring to
foist upon the country. The inference
was that while the senator conceded
that Washington was a great man in
his day. he was without vision. un-
able to foresee the expanding influ-
ence of the young republic and its
new relationship to the nations of the
OLD world This is an astonishing
view of the farewell address coming
from "a man occupying a seat in the
United states senate, in which the
utterance is read and lis
tened to with increasing veneration
IN each recurrence of Washington's
birthday. 1t is not conceivable that
would deem it necessary

Nugent designedly omitted, which,
taken with the means proposed to
prevent war; has convinced the
brightest minds of this country that
by entering the league of nations as
submitted by President Wilson we
would lose our independence as a ma
ton and vastly increase the chances
OF becoming involved in war through
a binding alliance with the countries
of Europe
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1920-10-07

These are a few of the salient fea-
lures of Senator Nugents speech. 1t
was a glaring presentation of half
truths, evasions and downright mis-
representations, and by his own con-
fession placed himself in position of
rank inconsistency with respect to
the league of nations. While urging
the acceptance of the covenant as
submitted to the senate by the presi-
dent, he said that he had voted for
it's adoption with the Lodge reserva-
lions which the president said would
cut the heart out of the instrument
The senator Iabored long with the
league of nations, but his attitude to-
ward the other league, the one in
which the people here are most in
terested, the nonpartisan league. was
ignored entirely. Taking his cue from
Cox. he favored taking the millions
now being spent for construction of

of arid and logged-off land,
but he had no word of encouragement
for the men engaged in lead and zinc
mining who are now menaced by i'm
portations of lead and zinc under the
free trade Underwood tariff law
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1920-10-07

Senator Nugent placed much stress
upon the fact that the sole power to
declare war rests in the congress, and
for that reason our membership in the
league could not involve us in war
without our consent He neglected to
state however that as a member of
the league we would be pledged to
protect and defend the territorial in
tegrity of all the members, and that
conditions might arise at any time to
make good this pledge by sending
thousands of American soldiers to do
police duty on foreign SOIL a duty that
might and probably would result in
fighting and dying for a cause in
which our country had no concern.
This would not be war as contem-
plated by the constitution in confer
ring upon congress the sole power to
declare war, but it would be war in
fact, and a war which congress it
self could not prevent. 1t would be in
fulfllment of the pledge Of member
ship in the league, a pledge which ]
would be as binding on congress as [
upon the chief executive.

How near Senator Nugent came to
telling the whole truth regarding the
purposes of the league viii appear
from the following quoted from the
FIRST paragraph of the much discuss
ed covenant:
1.-The high contracting parties
agree to this covenant of the
league of nations in order to pro-
mote international cooperation and
to achieve international peace
and security"
The purpose stated in faced
type was omitted by Senator Nugent
because it implies much more than
cooperation or an alliance for the
of war. An example of
what this implies we quote from ar
tiole % of the covenant;
"The members of the league will
make provision to secure and
maintain freedom of communica-
ton and of transit and equitable
treatment for the commerce of all
members of the league. In this
connection the special necessities
of the regions devastated during
the war of 1914-191S shall be
borne in mind"
This provision has been construed
o mean that the league viii exercise
control over all trade relations be-
ween its members, including the adj
ustment of tariff schedules. Evil
lently equitable treatment for the
commerce of all members" is suscep-
ible of this construction, and if that |
S not the meaning intended. the Ian
uage opens the way for argument in
he assembly and council in which
lncle Sam would be at such disad-
antage that he would certainly
merge from the small end of the
orn. Other provisions of this section
over securing and maintaining fair
nd humane treatment for labor"
securing Just treatment for native
lhabitants under their (members of
he league) control" general super
ision of the trade in arms and am
in which the members have
common interest, and various other
rovisions which may be highly de-
rable but which involve a surren-
er of national authority to which the
eope of this country will never sub
nit. These are included in a specific
urpose of the league which Senator
ugent omitted and in effect said did
OF exist asserting that the proven
on of war was the only purpose of
ne league.

be offset by half a dozen votes of
small nations on this side which
Uncle Sam would have in his vest
pocket a blunder which he endeavor-
ed to correct by denying that he
made the statement it was indeed
surprising to hear Senator Nugent
submit the same argument in order to
justify allowing England six votes. It
simply illustrated the desperate strait
to which he was reduced in his at
tempt to make a favorable showing
for the Wilson league.
