Where It Started.

AS the time goes on, it become
increasingly obvious that to Wood
row Wilson was given the opportun
ity to have forestalled all difficult.
relative to the United States and tn
league of nations. When Wilson sur
rounded himself with group of wor
shippers for his mission to Europ,
instead of taking with him the brain
lest and best men the United State
possessed, he inaugurated the initia
movement which finally has place,
the league of nations in the Ameri
can waste paper basket.
Wilson made the league of nations
a partisan matter then, he alone il
responsible for the fact that it is /;
political issue in the United States
today. If Root and Taft and Hughe.

conference who can doubt that Amer
lea would today be shouldering hel
share of international affairs?. A.

Wilson conceived it, perhaps, but a!

lea could have given united and whole
hearted support.
Even before this, Wilson had start.

islative branches of the United States
government by asking the voters to
return to congress a Democratic ma
jority. This was during the closing
days of the war and even the red hot
ferver of war patriotism could moi
keep the people from feeling sense
of resentment. If Mr.. Wilson has
asked that the people give him a
congress whose Americanism and
loyalty was unquestioned that it might
better aid him in furthering the war
program, no difficulty would have
arisen. 1t is quite likely that the
Democratic party might have retain
ed its slender hold on the legislative
branches of the government.
To Wilson must go full response
bility. These were the things which
percipitated the break with the United
States and which finally paved the
way to present quarrel over the text

government as an autocrat would run

Europe and Tariff.

From somewhere, purest political
propaganda has descended to the eff
feet that talk of foreign importations
of agricultural and livestock products
has undermined the American market
and is responsible for falling prices is
nothing but bunk. One Democratic
paper Indignantly asks how under the
seven suns Europe can possibly be
sending products to this country when
her own people are starving to death.
Notable defense Nobody ever said
that Europe was shipping stuff to this

country. Europe can't AT ieasI
right now she can't. But Canada,

can and are. Canadian wheat can De
contracted in Minneapolis for tu-
ture delivery Foreign exchange in
vites foreign goods. Special trans
portation offers to give foreign goods
preference over our own lines.
The dairy products market in Can
yon county today is tumbling because
New Zealand products are pouring
into San Francisco in shiploads. And
they will continue to come. OF course
Europe is not sending any stuff.
But wait. Wait until Europe is on
her feet again industrially. Wait UNI
til her manufacturing plants are again
placed on a peace basis and are work
ing at capacity. Wait until she actu-
ally has surplus of stuff in the same
way that she had surplus in early
1914. Don't think for one moment
that she will overlook market posi-
bilities in the United States. Don't
think that Europe won't be tickled to
death to unload chemicals and other
things in the United States in ex-
change for American dollars that can
be taken back to Europe and used
to buy 81 worth of stuff according to
European money values just now.
You haven't heard anything about
steel and hardware coming down,
have you? Steel and hardware won't
come down until European competi-
ton forces them down. Steel and
hardware are being manufactured and
turned over to the trade today on
what is probably the closest margin
compatible with good business to do.
When these goods do come down it
will be because they are forced down.
And when they do, it means that
American manufacturers of these pro-
ducts will be losing money.
Probably no one in Idaho would
weep at this. At least they wouldn't
for time. But the principle is ex-
actly the same that is being applied
to Idaho's farm products today. And
in that we are vitality interested. To-
day the shoe is on the wrong foot.
And it is on the wrong foot because
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and
Argentine have surplus of farm pro-
ducts.
Never before in the history of the
United States has the need been great
er for tariff that really protects.
Never has it cost American farmers,
American manufacturers, American
producers more to place their goods
in the market than it costs today.
Never has labor been so high, never
has money cost so much, never has
the present price scale ever been ap-

About Voting.

For the first time in many years
a voter will have the privilege this
year of voting his ticket Straight
Provision is made on the ballots by
placing cross at the head of the
various columns where a voter can
indicate his desire to vote only for
those candidates on single ticket.
In the past, voters, to vote their
ticket straight, were required to place
the usual TX" after every candidate
on that ticket.
II, however, you vote a ticket
straight, you cannot scratch" a can
didate in favor of someone on another
ticket. That is, should you elect to
vote the straight Republican ticket
and so indicate, you cannot then vote
for a candidate on the Democratic
or Nonpartisan ticket. 2
If you should not choose to vote 4.
straight" ticket, you can scratch your
ballot by going through the voting
for anyone you may elect to favor by
placing an tx" opposite the names
OF the candidates for any office, be-
ing careful not to mark your ballot
for more than one candidate for any
single office.
There are many Canyon county
voters, some Of them who were for
merly Democrats, have signified their
intention of voting a straight" Re
publican ticket this fall. This pro-
cess has been greatly simplified for
them under the new election law.

Voting for Bumps.

In 1914 this country was face to
face with the same situation that il
confronts today. Times were not hard
but they gave every promise of being
hard. Democratic free trade had
made the United States the dumping
ground for the world. Everything
that could be made to bring in a dol
lar come to this country.
Only the war averted a panic. ONLY
the war with its demands for every-
thing that could be manufactured or
produced changed the tide. Instead
OF exporting, Europe had to have
what America alone could provide in
adequate amounts. Money flowed
freely once more Times were good
and the nation forgot.
Right now we are face to face with
the same thing. Right now with ey-
cry reason to be enjoying one of the
best and most prosperous periods of
American history, the United States
is backed against the wall. Anything
may happen. A world. quickly real
izing its opportunity, is once more
dumping into the United States every
thing that can be spared that the
worlds goods might be transformed
into American dollars.

Platte, put up in Argentine, shipped

But when it comes to voting for
