plete physical breakdown but that his
mental faculties as we'll have been
temporarily impaired. Little doubt
remains that the President of the I'm
tied States is a seriously 81 X man
1 oday he is totally incapable of offic-
iating as the chief executive Of this
republic.
Sentiment is steadily crystallizing
against the league of nations as it was
evolved at Versailles. While perhaps
the country may oppose a complete
reJestion OF the idea, vast majority
of the voters insist upon notifications
OF the covenant. Wilson must be
blinded to public opinion to even
think of taking his document before
the people as a political issue.
No man has yet weathered the three
term storm and Wilson is surely not
the superman to accomplish the al
most impossible. With Wilson at the
head of the ticket next fall, a Re
publican landslide is inevitable.

MILITARY CANDIDATES.

Many people cannot understand the
Frequently made assertion that oil all
the potential military candidates for
the presidency of the United States,
Major General Leonard Wood, is the
only one likely to receive a credit
able soldier vote. Not that former
service men are going to dominate
future elections, but a possible a.
OOOOOO vote is not to be sneezed at.
Particularly frequently does this ques-
ton arise when General John ]. Per
shing is suggested as White House
aspirant.
The reasons are various. Major
General Wood was the ranking officer
OF the American army when war was
declared. As such, he should have
headed the American forces in France.
Because of his refusal to pattern his
utterances after the fashion of admin
istration leaders, he was practically
shelved, stationed at Camp Funston
where he remained for the duration Of
the war to see junior officers appoint
ed over his head.
No one questions Woods ability.
His sterling character never show
ed to better advantage than it did
uhuSi muse circumstances Wnen he
carried out the task. assigned him to
the best of his ability. And it can be
said that Camp Funston men are
among his most loyal supporters.
They swear by him.
Pershing was never the idol of the
a. F. F. His sterling work in per-
fecting a magnificent organization is
generally appreciated but he lacked
or failed to display, those character
istics that sometimes almost immor-
talize commander among those of
his command.
Woods stand on alters of pure Am
ericanism has been a potent factor in
attracting soldier appreciation. OF ali
domestic problems, service men feel
most keenly on this one. They be-
iitve Wood is the man to handle that
job.
In general, service men are sus-
picious of things, military. If there
IS one man in military life who can
down that feeling of antagonism, il
is Leonard Wood.

LOOKING FORWARD.

Unforeseen calamaties disregarded
Caldwell undoubtedly, is entering the
greatest year OF its history from a
business and civic standpoint. Build
ing certainly is going ahead by leaps
and bounds, the present comprehen-
sive municipal improvement program
will be rushed to completion and prob
ably many new industries will be ad-
ded. Caldwell is certain to grow.
1t Is essential that municipal i'm
provement should keep pace with pri-
vate enterprise. And the vital need
today is the adoption of compre-
hensive program based on conserve
tive prospects for period of not less
than five years. Ten would be bet
ter.
We are too prone to let small civ
&c problems remain uncared for un-
til they become real obstacles in the
path OF progress. We do things tenn
porarily. put in crosswalks for in
stance and three years later tear them
out to make room for paving.
What the city needs is something
definite to work upon "a plan that can
be carried out year by year upon a
prearrangcd schedule. 1t costs some
thing more to initiate than the usual
hit or miss system does but in the
end it means economy, general salts
faction in good work we'll done and
national civic improvements suited to
the city's needs. Other Idaho towns
have tried it and found it not want
ing.
Caldwell cannot share its response
bility. Let the city council employ
= competent civic improvement en-
gineer to map out such a plan-and
then adhere to it. We are tired of
voting paving bonds in the summer
and traversing muddy streets in the
winter. Lets vote the bonds when
the streets are bad and ride on pave
ment a year later.

WHY NEWSPAPERS COST MORE

One of the most acute shortages In
tins country at present is that of the
white paper that newspapers use. I,
IS a shortage that has been uncom.
fortably felt TO "a year or two, which
was at its worst during the war
showed slight Improvement at the enc
OF the war. and now is getting worse
again. The supply of suitable pulp
wood in the United States is entirel,
inadequate for the demand, and gov
ornamental restrictions prevent full use
being made of Canadian sources OF
supply.
Naturally, the cost of print paper
has increased tremendously. So great
has been the increase that MANY small
papers have been forced out of ex.
istence and long list of larger ones
have had to suspend or consolidate.
Taken with the rising costs of labor
TINS has made the cost of publishing
newspapers inordinartely more than
what it was few years ago. There
have been increases from time to time
IN the cost OF some of the larger pa
pers--nothing like the increases in
prices of other commodities, but in
creases nevertheless. Now in many
cities further increases are being made
Last week there were announcements
OF higher charges from both east and
west. Buffalo and Syracuse have
taken the lead in New York, and in
Seattle the Post-Intelligencer an
nounces that its subscription rates will
be higher.
1t is always with great reluctance
that newspapers raise their charges
to subscribers. for it is automatic thai
to be really useful and successful the
daily paper must be cheaply available
to all. But it is useless to try to hold
out for ever against the mounting
cost of paper. which is the great staple
o. newspaper manufacture. and of
labor. which must in fairness be ade-
quately paid:-Spokesman- Review.

UNIVERSAL TRAINING.
My dear Mr.. Publisher:

!" ucaf MT. fuDilSher.
Congress is considering the cues.
ton of Universal National Tiaininp
for every boy between Is and 10 years
OF age. 1t is hoped that Legislation
vii! be enacted that will result in cs-
tablishing camps throughout the U. S.
to which each year the boys as they
reach the age of Is years will be sent
for aperiod of six months.
These camps will be great training
schools for American citizens where
the boys from every section, of ey-
evry class, boys from the small cit
les and towns and the farms will be
brought into contact with the bows
from the cities: where he boys of rich
parents will meet and associate with
the boys of poor parents; where the
American born boy will be brought
into close contact with the foreign
born boy.
In fact, this proposed and desired
legislation is but one great step in
program of Americanization that will
build up a proper understanding of
and regard for American institutions
and government.
Eminent jurists from practically ev-
cry state in the union have assured
those working for this legislation that
is enactment would reduce crime to

PRESIDENT WILSON.

democratic and Republican polite
al observers are quite we'll united in
the belief that President Wilson has
definitely concluded to enter the lists
As candidate for reelection. What
ever doubts were entertained were
swept aside when he failed to assert
his position before the recent Demo.

Jaekson's birthday anniversary.
Wilson has wide following but
surely he must have lost all touch
with public opinion to even seriously
consider such a move. In the first
place, he is 4 sick man; probably much
worse than the average citizen has
been led to believe. There can be no

SOLDIERS AND THE LEAGUE.

Definite opposition to a league OF
nations in any form was emphatic
ally registered by the members of the
Loren M. Trotter post of the Ameri.
can Legion last Friday evening. The
ballot was taken secretly, there was
no preceding discussion, calculated
to attract wavering votes; it was a
strictly individualistic expression OF
opinion unassociated with any fur
Their purpose than an effort to discoy-
er how local returned service men
thought on the international problem,
1t is significant that a good mapority
the vote was 40 to 24-opposed the
league III any form and of those who
approved some form of international
governmental machinery, a majority
favored reservations to the Wilsonian
document.
While the vote OF the local post is
infinitismal when compared with the
total membership of the legion, il is
believed that the opinion OF the ma
iority Of Caldwell former service men
IS shared by a majority of the entire
legion membership. And the reason
IS not tar to seek. Soldiers, sailors
and marines have had their whirl
at military service. They had plenty
too. Anything which promises as the
league covenant does--to make il pos
sible for the United States govern
ment to send-by drafting, if neces-
sary-uniformed men to police up
Fieume, America or what not, will
never be approved. Men who served
in the great war don't want such a
Job and they refuse to be responsible
for wishing the job on someone else,
Service men with experience in
France are said by those who were
stationed where they had an oppor-
tunity to sound large percentage of
the units there believe that a canvass
OF the A. E. F. vote would show less
than 70 per cent supporting league
in any form. Universal military train
ing undoubtedly would meet the same
tate IT put to strictly soldier vote
1t must be noted in passing that
members Of the local post refused to
ballot solely on the proposition of res
ervations; they demanded an oppor-
tunity to express themselves on the
basis question.

at the results on the boys who went
into the training camps for the great
war te realize that this will be true.
But great as are all of these advan-
tages to be gained from this proposed
legislation, yet greater one is that to
be found in bringing the boys of all
classes together, upon terms of absol-
ute equality. l can picture to myself
the wonderful effect on the nation of
the rich mans boy and the poor mans
boy sleeping on cots side by side for
a period of six months, eating at the
same table, sharing the same duties
and the same modest pleasures, ex-
changing viewpoints day after day
and through these things forming life
long friendships. 1t means the break
ing down of class distinctions that are
forming and are endangering the life
of the republic. 1t means the absolute
democratising of our citizenship.
The boys will be taught in a prac-
tical way the advantages Of citizen
ship and the duties of citizenship; they
will be taught obedience to law and
constituted authority; they will be
taught the value of personal merit and
initiative as the true basis of personal
success. In other words, it will make
understanding American men our
boys regardless of family connections
of the accident of birth.
In camp the boys will be subject to
discipline, and while the pur-
pose is to make citizens for peace time
the military training they would re-
ceive would enable them to defend
their country should its defense ever
again be necessary.
Yours very truly,
WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.
