IDAHO POLITICS
GETTING WARMER.
JEROME COUNTY TIMES DE-
NOUNCES TREATMENT OF EX-
SERVICE MEN IN IDAHO.

Now that the conventions are over
and newspapers have had an oppor-
tunity to discuss the action Of the
two state conventions, some interest
ing comments are being made. The
Jerome County Times, published at
Jerome denounces the treatment Of
ex-service men by the Idaho politi-
clans in the strongest terms. In its
leading editorial it says:
Service Men and Politicians
Discovery has been made by SER
vice men of Idaho who are interest
ed in affairs of government that as
politicians they are rank failures.
This discovery was made at the
two state conventions which were
held at Idaho Falls and Pocatello.
Lessons learned by the service men
when they were performing on the
field of battle were of no avail in the
political game played at the two po-
litical conventions. True, clever
manipulators of words wrote glow
ing tributes in the platforms of
heartfelt sympathy for the men who
donned the uniform when the future
of the nation was in jeopary. True,
there were two service men placed on
the ticket by each convention but
these were of minor positions
while both conventions consistently
rejected the service men offered for
higher positions particularly legisla-
tive places where the men who were
in the active war work felt they
should have representations.
The former fighters in no case
asked for the selection of men of in
ferior caliber to those who were even
tually selected. But they found that |
youth was urged against them in a
great many cases, even in the case of |
a man who was seeking the nomina /
ton for supreme court justice at the
age of so years and who had enlisted
in the army when he was AZ years of
age. He was too young for the place,
his party had to select man past |
rs years of age for this position
which demands nervousness and ma
ture judgment. In the other case a
service man was rejected for policical |
successful opponent !

fected whereby vessels seeking their
way into harbor in thick weather can
follow with safety a submerged and
en9rgized wire.
In the outer reaches of New York
harbor, where deep water meets
shoals, there begins marine passage
way known as Ambrose channel. This
channel leads up through the Mar
rows into the inner harbor and to the
docks, and in this channel the guiding
cable has been laid. Ships properly
equipped to take advantage of its
guiding powers can follow it through
any kind of weather with the same
degree Of assurance as can the pas
senger who seeks to make his way

The device consists of cable 10
miles long laid in the center of the
channel. 1t is energzed with an al
ternating current from the shore.
Ships to take advantage of it must
be equipped with audiphones or listen
ing devices attached to the hull APP
preaching the channel, the sound
waves emitted by the cable can be
heard for some distance, and the in
creaslng or decreasing strength of the
sound enables the ship to bA Steered

whistle markers.

Free Press Praises Forney
A marked contrast to the above
from the Jerome County Times is the
following leading editorial from the
lase issue of the Idaho County Free
Press, published at Grangeville. The
Free Press, i'll it's last issue had as its
leading editorial, the following:
Ferney For High Court
In the nomination Of James H..
Forney, Of Moscow, for justice Of the
Idaho supreme court, the Democratic
state convention, at Idaho Falls, last
week, made wise choice. Mr.. For
ney, pioneer lawyer of northern
Idaho, is widely known throughout
the state for his strength of charac-
ter and legal ability.
Because of the retirement of Mr..
Justice Morgan of Moscow, from the
supreme bench, with the conclusion
of his present term of office, it was
felt throughout southern Idaho, as
well as in the north, that a northern
man should be elected as his success
or, and Republicans and Democrats
alike are expressing satisfaction at
the nomination of Mr. Forney for
this high office.
The state judiciary was, by the
last legislature, again, placed in poll
tics, after having been on a nonparti-
san basis. 1t is regrettable that this
step was taken by the legislative
body, for the judiciary should be
above partisan politics. 1t should not
De made part of the partisan cam
paign which is waged every two
years, but, nevertheless, such is the
word of the law, and the law cannot
De avoided.
It should not be construed that
support of Mr.. Forney for the SUI
oreme bench in any way reflects up
IN Judge Dunn, of Occur d'Alene, the
nominee for justice of the
court. This contest is a
situation which should not exist. Men
lifting on the states highest tribunal
hould not be placed in a position that
hey in any way will feel they owe
heir election to party politics.

Kind Words For French
The Lewiston Banner, weekly
newspaper devoting much of its
space to political matters, has the
following to say about the candidacy
of Hon Burton L. French, republican
nominee (by acclimation) to succeed
himself as representative in congress
from Idaho. The Banner says:
"Sandpont's candidate for United |
States Senator did not get far in the
Pocatello convention, but the demo-
Gratis honored that city by nominating |
a woman for congress. Of course it |
is an empty honor so far as the lady |
is concerned, as she was put up be- |
cause no man could be found in the |
party willing to make the |
race against Burton L, French, the |
man who always gets the solid re-
publican vote, most of the democratic
vote and the woman vote. He may
lose few of the latter this time, but
not many. Mrs. Iron, the Standpoint
lady who is running for congress on
the democratic ticket, favors the lea
que of nations She has to, poor
woman"

A RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS
Executive Departments Consolidated
Business Men Put in Office
Sound Financial Policy Ap-
piled to State
Affairs.

Gov. Frank 0. Lowden's great rec
ord as war executive of Illinois has
made him one of the leading candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for president. 1t is a story of admin
istrative achievements. Every pledge
to the people has been redeemed.
Despite high prices and unsettled
conditions due to the war, Gov. Low
den, by the practical application of
business methods to the management
of the states affairs, reduced the tax
rate in Illinois 33 per cent in two
years. His friends are certain that he
can do for the nation what he has
done for Illinois in the matter of good
government and lower taxes if he is
given the opportunity.
When Governor Lowden assumed Of
flee as executive of Illinois in Janu-
airy, 1917, the state treasury was prac-
tically bankrupt. There was only $3.50
to the credit of the general fund,
when outstanding bills had been paid.
One of his first official acts was to
abolish many political jobs by COM
b:ning the work of 125 different de-
partments and bureaus into nine COM
pact central departments. Gov. Low
den also had the state adopt budget
system which he thought would be
model for other commonwealth. He
placed business men and trained ex-
perts in charge of each of these de-
partments with gratifying results to
the taxpayers.
The cost of conducting the state
government was reduced hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year while the
quality of service to the public showed
marked Improvement. The effects
of a business administration in the
state we're manifest in a short time.
The state gradually built up a cash
/ balance and was able to discount it's
bills.
AS a practical Illustration of what
good government means it is officially
estimated that Illinois will have a
cash balance of $9.S77, ,225 on hand
July l, 1920, in spite of reduction of
SO per cent in the tax rate. This is
what Gov. Lowden's business admins
tration has done for Illinois.
In addition to these things Gov.
Lowden succeeded in accomplishing
these concrete results:
Began work on the states $60,00O,-
coo good roads system. Two hundred
miles of good road were built last year
one thousand miles will be completed
in 1920.

Meanwhile in 1904 he had been
made a member of the Republican ma
tional committee from Illinois. on
which he served until 1912 In 1916
he entered the gubernatorial primary

PROGRESSIVE PARTY
CHIEFS BACK LOWDEN
SENATOR MCCORMICK, HAROLD
ICKES AND OTHERS PUSH
ILLINoISAN IN RACE.

The closest friends of the late Col.
Theodore Roosevelt and former lead
ers of the Progressive party in Illi-
nois and other states of the middle
West are enthusiastically supporting
Gov. Frank o. Lowden's candidacy for
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent. United States Senator Medill
Mccormick is one of the most active
workers in Gov. Lowden's behalf, both
In Washington and in Chicago.
Other former Progressives who are
fighting for Lowden in the present
campaign are: Harold L. IclIeS, form
er chairman of the national committee
of the Progressive party; Congress
man Ira G. COpley of Aurora; B. f.
Harris of Champaign; Frank H. Funk
of Bloomington, Progressive party
candidate for governor Of Illinois in
1912; George H. Porter of Chicago,
and Thomas d. Knight, former presi-
dent of the Chicago Progressive club.
Col. Roosevelt was the guest of Gov.
Lowden for three days at the execu-
tive mansion in Springfield, H., in Au-
gust, and again in October, 1913.
If nominated for president Gov
Lowden WILL in the opinion of the
leaders, unite all factions of the party.
BE is perhaps the only candidate men
toned acceptable to the old leaders
as well as to the Progressive element.
