Members of the league in Idaho, the
rank and file who have supported
with contributions the effort to intro
duce certain alleged Socialistic re-
forms into this state government have
once more been betrayed when Sam
uels was sold out TO the Democrats
party or a controlling faction Of that
party. Samuels didn't want to quit.
He asked, it is said, that the matter
be submitted to some sort Of referen-
dunn of the league voters. But he
was overruled by an arbitrary and au-
tocratic system, the system that die
tates the policy of the Nonpartisan
league.
1t is this thing that has brought the
league into disrepute with many of its
members and which will eventually de-
stroy it asa political factor in Ameri-
can life. Political parties that fail to
recognize the popular pulse, to harken
to public will, do not long endure.

HOW WOMEN THINK

Maine is the political barometer of
America. This year more than usual
interest was aroused in the outcome
Of the Maine state elections which
went Republican by the largest ma
jority in the history Of the state be-
cause it showed for the first time the
probable trend of womens' votes in
this country.
The fear that women would permit
sentiment to overshadow judgment on
the league of nations issue, just as
they did in 1916 when the "He kept US
|out Of war" slogan carried Wilson to
1.-THE White House by virtue of the
woman vote, seems unfounded.
Typical Of the views taken by many
|broadminded women of the United
States on~the league issue is the fol-
lowing open letter written by Mrs.
James Bennett Of Kentucy.

BY WHOSE AUTHORITY

Samuels has withdrawn from the
senatorial race on the Independent
ticket in favor of John Nugent. This
is the essential, bald faced fact No
one is surprised. That such move
has long been contemplated was well
understood. 1t was merely ques-
tion as to when the action would
be taken, when the moment should
be deemed ripe for that move.
What it presages, no one knows.
Nonpartisan leaders are loud in the
assertion that there is nothing of a
political combination with Democrats
involved in the withdrawal OF Samuely.
On the other hand, Democrats are
irately demanding by whose authority
a clique of their party should nego-
tate deal with the Independent
forces.
/ Accumulated evidence indicates that
Samuels did not want to withdraw.
We believe that he accepted the nom
ination when it was given him in good
faith and the warm reception that sou
members of his party gave him at
Nampa shows clearly enough that
whatever his other qualifications
might be. Samuels was the most popu.
lar candidate, with the rank and file III
the party that the Nonpartisan league
placed in the field.
Who is John Nugent that il was
necessary for the league to sidetrack
Samuels? Nugent is a lawyer, he has
never yet done a single thing that
furthers in the slightest degree the
Nonpartisan program. And to league
members on the Boise project, it viii

BEAUTY7zND BREAD

Eastern magazine of the popular
variety are devoting columns OF space
recently to an indirect attack on re-
clamation. Preservation Of some Of
the famous western beauty spots for
posterity is their cry And they dec
crate their walls with beautiful photo
graphs. & n r.
Undoubtedly this propaganda has a
powerful appeal. II reaches the eyes
OF millions to whom reclamation is
about as familiar as the. Eistein theo-
ry. And the arguments are based on
utterly false premises.
Jackson Lake is on particular eve
sore to these nature enthusiasts. Be-
cause thousands Of fertile farms have
resulted from impounding water in
the mud and marsh flats OF the Jack

the Yellowstone park think that ma

desecrated by the hand of man for
mere economic gain. At least. that
is the premise upon which they base
their stories. AK
Even if it were true, the time has
passed when the preservation of some
.of natures landmarks, except in rare
and isolated instances, should be sub
ordinated to the cry of humanity for

FACING A CRISIS.


Even before negotiations opened be-
tween the members Of the Payett-
Boise Water Users association and
the reclamation service in an effort
to forever untangle the web of diff
cnities which Judge Dietrich recently
began to unweave, it is evident that
upon one stone are those negotiations
likely to be wrecked. his stone is the
duty Of water onsthis project.
Already application has been made
to the department of the interior for
the 10000 acre feet of unadjudicated
Arrow Rock water for use by the Hill
Crest and Moro districts. his same
supply has been asked by the Boise
Payette project.
Penind an attempt to reach an I'M
Outstanding. the court has not ruled
on the duty of water on this projcet.
It is certain that water users will not
be willing to sacrifice any supply of
water that they have been accustomed
to having and using. And it is just
as certain that the reclamation services,
intent on covering just as much land
as is possible with water that is avail
able and yet meet the full and ade-
quate requirement of each district, will
hold different views relative to the
amount Of water that is required for
this perfect than will settlers on it.
Water is precious, it must not be
wasted. The Tribune has persistentiy
maintained that water has been mis-
used and wasted on the Boise project,
year after year. Appeals to the far
mers to conserve in every possible
way without sacrificing any of their
crops is a tacit admission OF this
fact, coming, as the appeals have come.
from officers of the association.
Probably this loss is not excessive,
however.
Public interest and particularly the
interest of Caldwell should be direct
ed in retaining for the Boise project,
those lands already under cultivation,
every drop of water that is necessary
for the utmost production. One good
project is worth a half dozen poorly
watered, starving ones.
We are making no effort to--stimu-
late trouble or arouse antagonism be-
tween project farmers and the re-
clamation service. This section has
already had too much of that, so
much that the record here, whether
right or wrong, Is powerful argu-
ment against reclamation elsewhere.
At least, it is made so, Only one
course is open and that is sincere
attempt to clarity this difficult situa-
lion without further recourse to law.
For the court has said that in the
event the two parties are unable to
agree, he stands ready to rule on this
important matter. He should not BE-
permitted to do so. Appeals and an
other chain of seemingly endless and
irritating litigation will probably fol-
low. We want peace and, with it,

COMMITTEE RECEIVES THANKS

Editor Star: After a campaign
most notable in its character, but one
IN which the forces of right and jus
tice suffered, / wish to commend the
services of the 0cala committee for
the democratic party.
Florida has proved steadfast to the
democratic faith, and the contribu-
tons, under the circumstances, prov
cd more generous than we expected.
Approximately $4,000 was raised
in this state for the cause and sent to
the national headquarters. While
Duval county led in these contribu-
tons, yet Pinellas, Gadsden, Manatee
and Leon counties exceeded the quota
assigned to them.
The democratic people of Florida
should profit in the defeat recently
sustained and should adhere more
firmly together in the determination
to spread the true democratic gospel
throughout the nation.
want you to know that am deep
ly grateful to the democratic news
papers of Florida for the aid given in
the campaign for finances, and for It's
earnest, constructive service to the
democratic party in this state.
Very truly yours, A. Y. Milan.
The committee raised $261.50 fo1
the national democratic finance com
mittee. and its members are glad they
were of some help.

If we must have a state highway
commission, let the legislature fire the
present bunch, lock, stock and barrel,
and give the governor power to ap-
point three men-a road engineer, a
business man and lawyer-aIl three
among the best of their class. Pay
them good salaries and their own ex-
penses. The bunch of politicians who
have been running around over the
state, holding meetings here and
there, attending banquets, etc., have
spent or caused to be spent lot OF
the states money, and have accom-
lplished practically nothing. And such
men and such methods will accom-
lplish nothing worth while in twenty
years. Send them back to their owl
affairs and employ men who know
their work and their business to builc
cur roads.

Speaking of the war department
order, that ex-service men should not
wear their uniforms except on cere-
monial occasions, a young officer said
to US that he had two uniforms,
bought with his own money, and that
if he wanted to wear them he would
90 so. We think he is entirely right
about it, and we can't see how the war
department can do anything with him.
1t hasn't even the power to put him or
other ex-service men under arrest.
There are a good many of the ex-
soldiers, who yet have their army
Iovercoats, and will need them this
winter, and wouldn't it be a helluva
note for a man who had fought thru
the Argonne to SILVER on bitter
winter day in America on account of
this ridiculous order when he maybe
has a good, warm overcoat at home.
the Star would advise the ex-soldiers
to keep their uniforms as long as they
can, but if they need them they can
replace the army buttons, remove the
insignia and wear them. Army regu-
lations govern men in the army, not
citizens. A lot of those armchair
warriors in Washington, who never
smelled powder except at target prac-
tice, made pretty good progress to-
ward Prussianism in three years.
