gion. 1t means better STORY" that
way. The mere fact that the Legion
as much had not thing to do with
the affair, the mere fact that The
American Legion as such is the I'M
swerving advocate OF law and order
and opposes mob violence in any and
every form. is lost sight of in the thirst
for sensational news values.
We recall the circumstances of a
whole community being set on edge
by the somewhat lurid press accounts
of American Legion activities in tear
ing down irish flags. As a matter OF
fact the Legion had nothing to do
with the incident and the local post
finally asked the newspapers for re-
fractions, which were given, even il
with bad grace on remote page.
The whole Std had been caused by
a couple of violently partisan young
men who happened to belong to the
Legion. The imagination of an enter.
prising reporter representing a grea,
newspaper did the rest.
The Legion is committed to the
principle that violence does not be,

anguish through the indifference o.
the public and its servants. American
ideals need no improvements. but thei,
attainment requires stimulation. The
American Legion will always appl,
this stimulating process in an orderl,
and lawful manner. whether in delet
ing negligent public servants or sur
pressing the anarchistic philosoph,
of imported Dor home grown defect
ives.
We look forward to the day wher
the term claw and order" and the
term American Legion" will be in

mind.-American Legion Weekly.

A MOB IS NOT THE LEGION.

a great service of the American lie,
gion has been rendered by the press
OF the country. American newspapers
everywhere have given liberal en-
eouragement TO the nation wide or
sanitation of war veterans. Millions
OF words of information and comm en-.
datory matter have been carried re-
tleeting the popular approval of The
American Legion.
There is one service yet to be asked
OF the press by The American Legion
1t is an essential service and means
the modification of what may be set
down as the greatest fault of con.
siderable section OF the American
press. What we would ask is an in
telligent and honest differtiation be-
tween the acts of The American Lc-
gion and unauthorized acts of occas-
ional individuals.

tween towns of the Boise valley, moth
ing is to be gained by concealing the
fact that Mayor Ern Eaglcson, in his
appeal to Boise and Ada county for a
reclamation program designed prim-
arily for the benefit of Bosses back
yard. had fed fodder to a slowly dying
fire. Mayor Eagleson doesn't want to
sec the Bruneau with its half million
acres under cultivation. Being ad-
mittedly the business and financial
center of southwestern Idaho, Boise
stands to prosper indirectly more from
the cultivation Of that domain than
any other city in this section. Ye,
her. mayor would sacrifice that en-
pire for a less desirable, smaller more
costly project nearer Boise.
If every city of southern Idaho, in
tent upon its own self conferred inter
ests, were to pursue the policy oil
Boise's mayor, Idaho lands would Ian
guish for a century as barren as they
are today. Caldwell people unite in
the hope that Mr.. Eagleson's propa-
ganda is not representative Of Boise's
sentiment.

DAVID GRIFFITH SPEAKS.
A Word About Broken Blossoms"
As He Sees His Photoplay-A
Hint Also of Ambitions and
Faiths for the Future.

That the leadership in the art of tn
silver screen belongs to David Crit
fifth since his creation of Broken
Blossoms" which is soon to be shown
at the Huree Theatre, is almost be-
yond dispute. The beautiful and col
orful entertainment he has devised
from the pitiful story by Thomas
Burke, The Chink and the Child"
will help people to understand some
thing of the high ideals for which Mr..
Griffith strives. and the respect and
ambition in which he holds an art for
which +, has already done so much.
81 think" he says, that one of the
first duties for man who deliberately
tries to bring home new art to the
people is to try and emphasize the af-
finities of beauty which lie so deep in
nature and reach so far back into the
mysterious history of man. Literature
cannot express these wholly; nor mu-
sic, nor painting, nor sculpture; but
all these arts, in some phase of their
being, may be used as aids in the new
medium of the photoplay and bring
it step by step the nearer to perfec-
ton. Thus, it is that gradually, and
carefully feeling my way, l have been
able hope, to bring the musical score
into closer harmony and touch with
the more obvious message that my
screen conveys"
Then you believe that the screen
has message?"
What art has not a message?" was
his reply. up to the present think
that We producers of entertainment on
the scren have been led away more
or less along the paths of stern ana
often unlovely realism. Experience is
bringing me to see that if we are to
be indeed artists our finished art
product must not only be true, but be

BLOCKING PROGRESS.

Lack OF real harmony between tn.
various towns of the Boise Valley ha,
probably done more TO impede IT,,
progress of this section than any $"
gle thing. Petty jealousies. incor<r
quential business differences hay
proven an almost insurmountable bar
rier that has made concerted actor
and united front thing to be drea =,
ed of and never realized. Efforts ha
been made, good, conscientious eifN .
on the right basis. to consolida,,
southwestern Idaho for the advan ,a,,
of every person living in this favor
region. Always those efforts ha",
come to naught. 1t is to Caldwell,
credit that perhaps the most comp,
hensive plan and that coming neareS -
to naturalization originated with L.
Commercial club here.
No one doubts the desirabilty ~
such a movement providing the Srn
ment behind it is right If the ldaNc
reclamation association, at the me-,
ing to be held today and tomorrow y

scheme of development it represe0's
a real step will be taken in the right
direction. 1t holds promise. Sure
if southwestern Idaho has any CO
thing upon which it should unite, il is
the matter of obtaining sufficient
funds to reclaim the idle empire ( t

OLD STUFF.

1t seems, upon investigation, that
Mayor Ern Eagleson Of Boise, when
he clamored for the irrigation OF
Bosses back yard to the exclusion oil
other and larger projects in southern
Idaho, took another flyer of the kind
that he apparently is addicted to. In
1917, the Boise Commercial club, when
Jess Hawley was president of the or
ganization, passed resolutions en-
bodying practically the identical ma
terial that Mayor Eagleson startled
the Boise Valley with last Friday.
Those resolutions were forwarded
to A. P. Davis Of the reclamation ser.
vice who responded with definite
statements to suit each of the general,
tiles submitted to him. He said, il
answer to the resolution that the Pay.
cite waters, and not those of the Boise
river, should be used for Black Can.
yon reclamation, that the cost wa.
prohibitive that conclusion of the
plans as drafted by federal irrigation
engineers would not interfere with flu.
ture use of the Payette waters as the
Boise Commercial club wished.
In answer to the resolution that the
remainder of the south side trac,
should be reclaimed prior to the Black
Canyon, Mr.. Davis asserted that pro.
hibitive costs again would be suffic.
lent reason for failing to recognize
the request of Bosses commercial club
He repeated the declaration of the re-
clamation service to develop first the
most feasible of projects and asserted
that if the Boise Commercial club had
figures available to substantiate then
claims, those figures would be given
consideration. Until that time he
held, nothing was to be gained by
further submissions of wordy moth
ings.
At the same time, he said, there was
no immediate prospect of consequent
tial appropriations for reclamation and
nothing was to be gained by harpine
on the subject at that time, N must
be that Mayor Eagleson believes suf-
ficient time has elapsed to cover up
that fiasco. He, too. needs gentle
reminder that the reclamation serv-
ice, free from partisan and petty ac,
mands, is absolutely capable Of deter
mining how the retaining of southern
Idaho should be accomplished.
