IDAHO SERVICE MEN VOTE

WHO is THE GOVERNOR BACK
ING, HIRAM OR MILES?

While in Pocatello the other day
visiting the automobile show, Gov
ernor Davis is credited with having
made this statement regarding tn,
presidential situation:
"Dhe west will never get its
true deserts in reclamation, roads
or waterways. until western
man is elected president. For
this reason I favor a western man
for president and the west should
do all in its power to elect
strong man for this high office.
Eastern men know nothing about
the west. To my own knowledge
less than 40 per cent of them have
never been west of the Mississ-
ippi We must supply a western
man If we expect to get our
rights"
This is interesting. but would have
been much more so if the governor
lad gone a little further and named
he western man he favored. How
'ver, as there are only two republi-
an candidates for president who re-
ide west of the Mississippi river, one
# these must be his choice. It is
ither Senator Hiram Johnson. of
california, or Senator Miles Poindex-
err of Washington. We can hardly
elieve that the governor means all he
avs. If SO, he is trenching upon sec
ionalism to an extent that can not
e justified in a matter of such far
eaching Importance to the nation as
whole.
And there is Hoover; we forgot him. |
Iaybe he's the governors choice.

The dispatches announce that SEN
ator Borah will soon come west and
make an extended speaking tour in
his home state, Montana and Oregon
in support Of Senator Hiram johnson
for the republican nomination for
president So far as Idaho is con-
cerned, there appears to be so little
johnson sentiment in the state that it
is negligible. and it will require
something more than the magic of
Senator Borahs eloquence to change
this situation. Nevertheless. the

The possibility that the Idaho delega-
lion to the national convention may
be swung to the support Of Johnson

self is not wholly blameless How
ever, since the treaty framed by
President Wilson embodying the lea

For almost a year and a half, all
though technically at war; peace has
actually prevailed between this coun-
try and Germany, and this fact has
had more to do with promoting the
unsettled Industrial condition at
home and the revolutionary disturb

tor. President Wilson is primarily
responsible for this condition. Ignor-
ing the attitude of his own country
men on the league of nations, and
taking advantage Of the powerful po-
sition occupied by our government in
its relations with our allies, he forced
favorable action on his impractical
league of nations in the peace con-
ference. thus consuming months of
time which should have been devoted
to arranging terms of peace. And
then in order to force the acceptance
Of his international ideals as embod-
led in the league upon the unwilling
nations represented in the peace
he publicly announced his
purpose to 50 interweave the league

SEEKS FOE OF JAP BEETLE
Specialist Has Been Detailed to
Bring to This Country Enemy OF
Horticultural Pest.

The Japanese beetle is going to have
It's old enemies on its trail In this
country. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has sent a man to
japan to find those enemies and send
them across the ocean. They will
then be established in the sections of
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained a foothold, and they are ex-
pected to aid greatly in the control of
the pest.
The agent employed in Japan is
familiar with Japanese conditions and
is a specialist in this kind of work. 1t
is expected that the task will require
his sojourn in Japan for two or three
years. While something is known OF
the parasites Of the Japanese beetle
a great deal is still to be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon it. The beetle reached this
country with importations of green
house plants, and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo-
lestations by natural enemies.

"W'indjammers" in Vanguard OF

Many Alaska canneries Plan TO Re-

Seattle Wash. Big full-rlgged
"windjammers." some famous as
American clipper ships long ago, al
ready are spreading their sails and
heading for Alaska, the vanguard Of
summer salmon fleets which go north
every year to work with the scores Of
fish canneries that dot northern har-
bors and inlets.
Dozens Of other craft, steamers gas
boats, barges and tugs, are going north
with the sailing ships. Before winter
they will all come blowing back with
this years fish catch canned and
packed and stored In their holds.
No record salmon catch is expected
this year, according TO reports from
Alaska. Most Of the southeastern
Alaska canneries expect to reduce
their pack this year from one-third
TO one-half normal and several will
not operate at all. One cause for the
cut IS the fact that all of last years
pack has not been sold Low markets
are given as another reason.
SNORT OdICH Last year.
Aaska's salmon output last year was
1852 POI cases, the smallest since
1915. The high-water mark Of Alaska's
salmon years came In 1913, when, in
response to a war call for food, the
cannerles sent G.G67, 500 cases out.
Most of the salmon are packed in
southeastern Alaska, a strip of terri
tory that juts south between northern
British Columbia and the Pacific
ocean Last year southeastern Alaska
fisheries turned out 3,10S,364 cases,
against 775,557 from central Alaska
and 70S,2 from Ear western Alaska
points. The central Alaska plants ex-
tend from Cape st. Elias westward to
the Alaska peninsula. The far west
ern plants are on the shores Of Bristol
bay and the Bering sea.
About l25 salmon canneries were
operated In Alaska last year by nearly
ninety companies. Several big con-
Germs operated more than one plant,

Crush Strikes

Reports of strikes and rumors of

Gus.
Throw Leaders in Jail.
But" said this official, "far from
closing it's eyes to strikes, the gov
eminent seems to have a very sum-
mary way with them. In fact, it has
way which would not be attempted
in Anglo-Saxon countries.
'The military promptly clap the
leaders of the strike into jail, and it
naturally dies down after that.
"The only trouble l saw in Madrid
was lockout by the employers
against the employees in the build
ing trades
'It lasted in Spain for weeks and
weeks before it was finally settled.
81 asked the Spaniards what would
happen if there were big national
strike of railway men.
'"The response was that most Of
the railroaders were of military age !;
that they would be promptly called
back to the cOlOrs that they would
be enrolled in regiments of railway
engineers and put back to work on the
railways-not as employees of the
roads, but as soldiers of the nation.
Whether such a drastic program would
| be carried out l do not know, but it
was discussed quite freely.
Business men told me there was
not as much unrest in Spain as there
was in England France and America.
"Spain is suffering from the same
maady all civilized countries are suf-
fering from-high cost Of living and
consequent insistent demand made
by the working class for much higher
wages. The same vicious circle is
being gone through with in Spain"
Sees Business Growth.
He said he found business men in
Madrid, Spanish, English and French,
preparing to invest their money in
very large Spanish projects, which
was the best sign that no serious
/ trouble was looked for.
'In SPAIN" said he, business men
/ have a cynical saying that the revo'
luton is always going to happen to-
i morrow, but that tomorrow never
comes.
"Of course, there is dissatisfaction
in the industrial cities, but 80 pei
cent of the people of Spain do no
live in the cities, but are peasant
farmers, loyal to church and king, and
for the most part Indifferent to poll
