as, or little worse than it had been
reported, another thought now keeps
coming back to the public mind
when the tax commission was named
and the committee Immediately
asked for an armistice, the public
promptly predicted that there would
be delay and a whitewash. This paper
forestalled the delay and paved the
way to expose the committee il it
attempted whitewash. When the
tax commission bluntly condemned
the assessors work, it was such a
surprise to the central committee
that it had no plans. 1t had banked
on mixed report showing many
errors and exaggerations in the news
paper, and they had it in their sys-
TENS to go home explaining. Now
that there was nothing of the kind
to base it on, they simply sat still
waiting for something to happen,
while Trego put it up to them
whether or not they would release
the report for publication, and they
sat still on that subject for an hour,
talking about cars while they waited
for solution of their predicament
When they adjourned they were
all at sea, but after they mad mixed
around some and slept over it, a
number of apologists had thought
or two that would do for an excuse
and they began to put them forth.
Each one encouraged the others by
playing up whatever he could think
Of, and each one seized upon the ex-
cuses set forth by the others. Pretty
soon each of the apologists was
apologizing, and each one of their ex-
cIses has been explained and
exploded.
The net result of the whole thing
is an awkward attempt on the part
of the central committee and their
friends to whitewash, yet it was
done so badly that it splashed all
over the committee and to a great
sxtent, over the party. The peoples
original prediction was correct, that
It would be whitewash, but they
did not expect that it would be done
in the particular way that 1t was
nor by the particular people who
have been doing it, nor take so long
. time, and all the while the moose
tightens.

STATE FEDERATION NEWS
By MRS. GEORGE H. DAVIS,
Boise, Press Chairman

Delegates to the Great Salt Lake
council to be held June Is to Is will
get the benefit of fare and halt
rate, according to information sent
out by Mr.. Joel Priest, general agent
for the Oregon Short Line:
IA rate of one and one-half fare
on certificate plan has been author
lied for general federation Of wo-
mems clubs at Salt Lake in June.
While attendance requirements are
$50, yet from points in Western Pas
senger association a special dispen-
sation has been obtained under
which round trip summer tourist
tickets held by eastern delegates will
be counted toward computing attend
ance. This will take care of south
ern Idaho, but northern Idaho comes
under the Trans-Continental Pas
senger association and they have not
yet acted affirmatively other than on
straight certificate plan rate and ESQ
attendants on the certificate plan
rates."
1T will be necessary for delegates
and visitors going from southern
Idaho to pay full fare and take a
receipt therefor from the railroad
agent. This receipt will be endorsed
by the secretary of the general fed
Grafton at Salt Lake City. showing
that the person holding it has ac-
tually been in attendance and if
there are $50 of these certificates,
as there doubtless will be, return
trip ticket may be purchased for one
half fare on presentation of the GER
tificate."
The federated clubs in the state
are one by one closing their activities
for the season, and with the Second
district federation meeting May 81
and June l the work Of the year will
be practically ended. The presence
of Mrs. Thomas G.. Winter, general
federation president will make this
meeting one of unusual Importance,
and it is hoped that each club will
plan to send at least one representa-
tive to Weiser, that she may take
back to her club the inspiration and
enthusiasm that Mrs. Winter has the
reputation of instilling into all who
come in touch with her.

A TRAIL THAT SHOULD
BE OBLITERATED

The attempt on the life of Arthur
Fay, state organizer of the American
Legion, at Pocatello, by an unknown
radical, after Fay had received a
warning to leave that city from UNI
known radical sources, ought to be
in itself enough evidence to the
mind of any thinking American citi-
zen of the existence of most dan
gerous element in our communities.
The same men who would have
hauled down the flag during the war,
the same men who, under the ban
ner of various seditious organiza-
tions, have for several years been
undertaking to create dissension and
array class against class, the same
men who, for long time, have been
assidiously engaged in assaulting
every legitimate industry in order
to create discomfort and in order to
provoke destruction thru sabotage
and similar methods, the same men
who have been organizing in the in
terest of disloyal instrumentalties-
they are still on the job, working
more earnestly than ever to- spread
the doctrine Of socialism, sedition
and anarchy.
The trail of the traitor is plainly
indicated and it seems to be broad
ening. Not all the prosecutions that
the government has undertaken, not
all the convictions it has secured,
have served to curb this most no-
torious element, which is twisting its
Shiny form insidiously around the
law-abiding homes Of Idaho.
The Pocatello affair is, of course,
but one incident of the outward OPP
erations of these men. Their most
damnable and successful efforts are
being brought about with greater
privacy. Their activities are screened
from the public gaze, which render
them all the more dangerous.
1t has been for long time within
the knowledge of the United Ameri-a
cans, the great patriotic body that
has stood as a solid wall between
these radical operations and propa-
ganda and the homes of Idaho and
the nation, that hundreds of organ
izers of the |. w. w. and of allied
organizations have been most busy
in this state.
The information CLEANED by the
United Americans has been more
than confirmed by the reports of the
state constabulary and of the Ameri- |
can Legion. This information, in
sofar as it could be safely made pub
lie, has been given out thru the press. |
All have been advised,
Does it not seem prudent that |
every effort should be made to Offset |
the effects of this quiet but indubit-
ably resultful work of the radicals? |
Does it not seem the part of wis.,
dom, and in line with American
safely, to provide expositional and |
safeguarding propaganda?
In brief, is it not absolutely neces-
sary that every real American citizen
do everything within his and her
power to narrow and, if possible, OBJ
literate this trail of the traitor?-

8. Chinese women should de
mand the rights of enfranchise
ment and participation in practi
cal politics
4. Prior to the abrogation 0

Considerable discussion as to the

During the war an important part of
the government welfare work amon-

consisted OF boxing instruction. Many

their instruction. Knowledge Of the
science Of boxing gave American sol
6iers a tremendous advantage over
their foes in the world war.

DEMPSEY LUNCHES
WITH COY. EDWARDS
New Jersey Executive Pays
His Respects to His Minis
terial Union Critics.
BY CHARLES f. MATHIsoN.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
ATLANTIC CITY, y. j.. Nav 14.--Al-
though Jack Dempsey did little physical
work to-day the period between sunrise
and sunset bulged with Incidents of a
momentous nature. The oversnadowing
event OF the day broke athwart the
Dempsey camp this morning when the
champion received an invitation from
Gov. Edward !. Edwards of New Jersey
TO lunch with the Executive in the Euro
pean Restaurant of the Hotel Traymore.
When Dempsey reached the hotel he
found Gov. Edwards in company with
Mayor Edward l.. Bader and former
Sheriff Arthur ]. Perkins. After Mayor
Bader introduced the champion to the
Governor the quartet OF celebrities adj
journed to the restaurant, where they
lunched and chatted for two hours.
When they emerged from the restau-
rant Dempsey was asked IL he had any
thing to say about the event, but he
smiled, shook his head and looked at
the Mayor The latter said that Demp-
sey had visited Gov. Edwards at the
request of the New Jersey Executive.
and that the meeting had been purely
social.
Gov Edwards was more communica-
tive. and when his attention was called
to the fact that the Camden Ministerial
Union had adopted resolutions censuring
him for permitting the Dempsey-Car-
pentier contest to be staged in that
State and also for sending an invita-
tlon to President Harding to attend the
encounter, the Governor said:
"rhe ministers who criticise me make
the mistake OF referring TO champion
ship boxing contests as prize fights.
They are not prize fights. AS matter
of fact there are no more prize fights

draw him out, thus learning his style
of procedure.
No doubt Descamps threw out this
hint merely as a barrage, but If the
manager of the Frenchman expects
his man to get an opening for a shot
at Dempsey's jaw as wide as those he
found when in the ring with Beckett
and Wells he will be greatly disap-
pointed. If Carpenter hits Dempsey
on the jaw in the early rounds 1t will
be the result of the quickest and most
accurate blow he ever delivered in his
ring career. And in his attempt to
deliver the blow he will have to keep
his own jaw well protected against
one of Dempsey's shots.
In substance, if Carpenter defeats
Dempsey on July It will be due to
qualities on the part of the French
man that have not been made public in
his battles up to the present time.
Dempsey should win the bout be-
cause he is larger. stronger, quite as
speedy as his opponent, hits much
