A man known here as Dick Hy
land, laborer,, was found dead this
morning in his room in the Robin
son house, on First street between
Chickasha and Kansas avenues.
Erysipelas, the outgrowth of an in
fected tooth, which poisoned the
mans system and caused heart fail
ure, was responsible for the death,
according to DR.. A. c. White, local
physician, who examined the body
this morning.

fected the mans mentality, DR.
White said, was indicated by the
position of the body when found
this morning and also the disar-
ranged position CT the bed clothes.
The body was lying in an unnatur
! al position on the floor in one cor
Iner of the room. The arms, slightly
bent in the elbows, were extend
ing upward One foot rested against
the wall. Bed clothes were disar-
ranged, and even the springs of the
bed were slightly removed from the
proper position.
III Several Days.
S. F. Rogers, proprietor of the
Robinson House, stated this morn
ing that Hyland had been complain
ing for several days and that he
had been taking treatment for cry
sipelas.
He went to bed about II O'Clock
last night, Rogers said, and was not
seen until a chambermaid discovered
the dead body this morning. No indi
cation of violence in the room was
heard during the night, Rogers de-
clared.

local morgue where it will be pre-
pared for burial. No coroner's in

prietor $4,000 to hold during the
night This money, with a few per
sonal belongings, is all the property

SOMETHING WRONG

The league of nations is a failure
from a military standpoint at any
rate. authorities, who have closely OBJ
served the international amalgation
of national interests in operation are
convinced that the league as now con-
stituted and in operation is utterly in
capable of preventing wars or even
postponing them until arbitration can
be given an opportunity to let sanity
instead of force settle disputes. Too
many wars are actually now under
way to permit contradiction of this
assertion. Even Great Britain, one
of the dominant league members, is
embroiled in Persian conflict with
Persian insurrectionists and Russian
Bolsheviki.
There is but one thing which the
league of nations is accomplishing
that is worthy of commentator.
Public health has come to the atten-
ton of the international tribunal and
it can reasonably be expected that
international cooperation can do
much to prevent future ravages by
influenza, typhus and other contagious
diseases. Health officials of the var
ious represented governments have
joined hands to accomplish these ends.
They should do much.

A POOR LAW

Idaho Nonpartisans are demanding
return to the direct primary. Aftei
the spectacle enacted in Idaho two
years ago when the Townley guided
ana misguided league robbed the
democratic party in this state OF their
machinery which came as hnal proof
o. many weaknesses OF the law, no
thinking person who respects repres-
entative government can believe thar
the primary law is the essence. the
!oundation OF clean politics. But it
Is Just as certain that the present
Aoano election law is no better and
PIooaDly worse. In an effort to
combine the good points of the con-
vention and direct primary systems a
cumbersome procedure has been
Duiit that can be nothing other than
serious damper on the right OF
every citizen to share the government
his money helps to pay for.
Whie the law has not been in 3D.
Grafton long enough to be thoroughly
trieo, this being the first election un-
dertaken under the statute, it is al
ready painfully evident that the, law
is.destined to misunderstanding, abuse
and failure. For confirmation of this
assertion. one needs 20 no farther
imam canyon county. And yet here.
II anywhere in the state, conditions are
such that the election law should op-
crate successfully.
From the Republican standpoint
canyon county is almost certain to be
solidly behind Davis and Goodinp SO
tar as the Republican representation
IN Pocatello is concerned. Every
delegate to the county convention.
almost every candidate was selected
by hand picked methods. There was
An almost total dearth of initiative
SO tar as individual application for
county office is concerned. Uudoubt-
eddy. the Democratic situation is
practically identical
Ihe Tribune has no criticism
against those presons who possessed
initiative and interest enough to in
sure placing a party ticket in. the field
IN this country. Nor have been any
objection to the men whom they saw
mt to select The fact is that probab.
~ canyon county never had a more
capable aggregation OF contestants
tor office. There are few candidates
who should not give the county an
honest and capable government if they
are elected.
But the system is wrong. 1t should
never devolve upon the shoulders OF
any person or group of persons to
map out = ticket. In counties less
densely populated, the situation is j
even worse. In many, there is alb
solutely no indication of precinct or
ganization. no attention has been paid
to selection of party delegates to the |
county conventions and only a few
for county office filed nom |
nation papers. In those places, the
mere fact that a name appears on
the ballot is almost assurance of cleo
ton.
The law is cumbersome and COM
pick: 1t Is certain preventative OF
good government, or at least repre-.
sentative government. Idaho is dodg-
ing one poor law, certainly didn't i'm
prove things one whit.
