MAKE THE COMPARISON
OF PAVEMENTS

Two years ago the men of Bing-
ham county were all wrought up over
a difference of opinion as to how to
spend road money, whether to spend
al the bond money tor few miles
OF cement paving or to string it out
over the county for cath roads and
get some Of them coated with crushed
rock or fine gravel and leave the rest
of it without any topcoat.
The men who favored spending the
money for cement are invited to drive
to Salt Lake over the cement roads
laid couple of years ago and one
year ago and note the condition they
are in. Look closely and see If they
can detect seams opening up in all
directions, fine now, but getting
larger with every freeze and thaw Of
every winter. We wish some Of these
gentlemen would examine closely and
report to those of us who are too
busy or too stingy to get that far
from home.
The same gentlemen are invited
to ask people living along the way
how long they had to travel the de-
tours waiting for the cement roads
to harden after they are laid.
We invite peoples attention to
the fact that when the bitulithic paw
ing was laid in Blackfoot four years
ago, 1t was ready for use the hour
the top coat was rolled down and has
been in service every hour since that
time, and wherever anyone had oc-
casion to cut hole thru it for any
purpose, such as connecting with the
water or sewer pipes in unexpected
places, they have been able to patch
the hole so it looks just like the rest
of the surface. and we invite lovers
of cement roads to 60 all over the
bitulithic roads and see If they can
I'D any seams opening.
The pavement that is being laid
now in Blackfoot is ready for use as
soon as the top coat is rolled down,
and we invite lovers of cement roads
to 60 all over it looking for defects
and make careful comparison from
year to year with cement roads and
streets laid at this time.

WashingtOn.-The appointment OF
Colonel George Harvey as ambassador
to Great Britain, confirmed by the
senate last week in executive session,
was attacked and defended for four
hours Thursday in one of the most re-
markable and unusual slttings wit
messed in the senate chamber.
Senator Harrison, Mississippi, de-
scribed Mr.. Harvey "as creator of
prejudice and a stirrer of strife" and
as "a vindictive, self-anointed,, in

Americans, regardless of party affilia-

Senator Reed. Democrat Missouri,

his colleague of seeking to embarrass
the new ambassador, declared Presi-
dent Harding was within his right in
appointing Mr.. Harvey and asserted
Mr.. Harrison "had burned the mid
night oil to light his taper at the fires
OF venom" Other senators took part

April 20, with view to finding a COM

United efforts by the states in deal.

problem was urged by Senator John

V. s. McClatchy of Sacramento,

the Japanese, they would Inevitably

they had established birth rate per

PROMPT RESPONSE GIVEN PLEA
FOR ACTION TO FoREsTALL
ALLIES DEMAND.
Exprsssss Willingness 70 Bring New
Proposals to Attention Of the !
Allies in I Manner Acceptable

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Harding on
April Fl declined to accede to the re-
quest Of the German government to
act as mediator with the allies on the
question Of Preparations and to fix the
amount the German people are to pay.
At the same time the president, in
replying to the German appeal, ex-
pressed conditionally the willingness
Of the american government to act
as an intermediary between Germany
and the allies In bringing about re-
sumption of negotiations for set:
Element Of the reparation terms.
If the German government, the pres
ident said, would formulate new pro-
posals constituting a proper basis
for discussion" he would consider
bringing the matter to the attention
Of the allies 'ln a manner acceptable
to them"
The Berlin governments appeal for
American mediation to avert the con-
templated coercive measures OF the
French and British was delivered to
American Commissioner Dresel and
Immediately transmitted to Washing
ton, where it arrived early Thursday
afternoon.
Secretary of State Hughes took the
German note to the White House
about p. m. and discussed the ques-
ton of reply with the president. It.
did not take them long to decide that
the United States could not accept the
position Of umpire between nation
with which it was associated in the
war. Secretary Hughes returned to
the state department and dispatched
the reply to the Berlin government
through the American commission.
The action of the president and the
secretary Of state conforms to the
lines laid down in the previous Hughes
note to Germany. In that communica-
ton Mr.. Hughes said that the United
States stands with the allies In hold
ing Germany responsible for the war
and bound to pay reparatiOn to the
full extent Of its ability, fairly and
justly determined. He expressed the
hope of renewal Of the negotiations.

Amid the roar of cannon and plaud-

President Harding at the bronze

proclaimed anew the fundamentals of
the Monroe doctrine, and cited the
desirability of standing firmly to-

simultaneously in Caracas, Venezu-

and the people of BOlivar's native
land gathered around the statue of
George Washington, which was un-
yelled in Washington park.
President Harding's brief visit here
gave the public its first opportunity
to greet him as president with the
enthusiasm always reserved for the
nations chief executive. From the
moment of his arrival until his de-
parture three and half hours later,
crowds waited gOod-naturedly in the
chilly streets and cheered cordial
welcome.

London. Steps to bring into Oper.
alton the Irish act, providing for home
rule in the island, were taken on April
10 by the British government. This
law, which was described by King
George as ''the fruit of thirty years of

received royal assent short time
later. Sim Fein leaders in Ireland
have been outspoken in their opposi-

Elections of members Of the north

ments will be held on May 3, under

southern sections of Ireland would
ignore the provisions Of the law.

AS OTHERS SEE US

Count W1tte, the great Russian
who won a diplomatic victory for his
country at the Peace Of Portmouth
following the Russo-Japanese war, in
his memoirs gives an entertaining
account of his visit to the United
States in connection with his peace
mission. His description of his tilts
at the council table with the Japan.
ese ENJOYS in 1905 and his studied
and successful efforts to gain the
good will of the people of America
are engrOssing. And how at the
Portsmouth conference he recovered
nearly all his country lost during the
war is a matter of history. But
Whites Impressions of the United
States are perhaps the most enter
tanning part of his narrative, and to
an American at times amusing.
He gives the following account OF
his visit to President Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay:
The same day l paid visit to
President Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay,
within one hours ride from the city.
Baron Rosen accompanied me.
Roosevelt occupied small house of
his own, in which he still lives, hay
ing retired into private life. 1t
looked like an ordinary summer
house of burgher of small means.
All the servants at the house were
black. had a long business talk
with the president. He was dis
pleased by my attitude He declared
that my views on the subject pre-
cluded the possibility of an agree
ment with Japan. 1t seemed to him
that after the initial formulation of
Numerically opposed and irrecon-
cilable viewpoints by the two sides,
the conference would be dissolved.
Then we had luncheon, at which, be-
sides the host and the two guests,
there were the presidents wife, his
daughter by his first wife, and her
husband. The luncheon was more
than simple and, for an European,
almost indigestable. There was no
tablecloth, and there was ice water
instead Of wine. A little wine was
served to Baron Rosen as an excep-
ton. I notice that, generally speak
ing, people eat very poorly in
America. What surprised me most
was that the host, and not the hostess
was the first to seat himself at table
and first to rise, and that the courses
were served first not to his wife, but
to himself. l also noticed that the
hostess walked behind the president.
All this is quite contrary to European
manners and customs. The principle
OF ladies first applies to the wife
OF the French president, just as to
any other woman. Priority is given
to the French president only at some
very official function, but then his
wife usually does not participate at
all.
AS American food seems to have
been as great difficulty to Count
Witte as his diplomatic struggles
with the japanese his further opin-.
ion Of it is given frequently. Evil
IDENTITY Yankee viands got on the
counts nerves in the course of time.
Attic huge man physically it seems
our ham and" diet eventually got
the best of him, for he says:
At first we Russians dined at a
separate table in the general dining
room of the hotel. Later we found
1t more comfortable to have our din
ner served in separate room ada
