reliable decision in the world; the
decision based on popular will acting
as the mob act.
Over in Switzerland they have just
had very marked demonstration OF
the folly that follows the popular
will.
A Socialist workman assaulted an
unsyndicated workman and was pro-
secuted for 1t. If we interpret the
terms correctly it would mean in our
country that a union worker had as
saulted q non-union worker when the
union men were on strike. The
man committing the assault was
sentenced to ten days in jail, the
judgment of two judges being re-
sorted to in the process.
The judges were then summoned
to appear before the Socialist COM
mittee on the charge that the verdict
was incompatible with the commun-
list doctrine" The judges ignored
tile summons and very properly re-
fused to appear before the commit
tee, so they were promptly ousted
from the party. The judges replied
that they had been Socialists and de-
manded liberty and they passed judy
ment according to their consciences
and the law without regard to out
side political pressure. Switzerland
is now considering the matter OF ban
ishing the communists from the state
on the ground. that they are danger
Gus persons.
Idaho had an example Of threats
and coercions from the same element
constituting the Western Federation
of Miners at the time of the Meyer
Haywood trials of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. The men serving
on the jury, who determined the fate
of the men accused of melting the
assassination of Frank Steunenberg
were under constant pressure from
that source thru unsigned letters and
various kinds of threats sent to them
and their families making it known
to them that their fate was sealed
if they convicted the men on trial.
That was seeking to conduct a gov
eminent by force rather than a gov
eminent by reason and justice. 1t
was on the same principle as the re-
call of judges.

THEY TRIED 1T
IN IDAHO .

Some ten years ago when great
deal was being said along socialistic
lines, when many men were talking
about the referendum and the recall
of judges; when the agitators and a
lot of pretty good men were saying
that judges, who did not render de-
cisions to please the popular will,
should be recalled; when the rank
and file of the population were puz-
zled as to whether that would be q
good thing or not, some pretty strong
characters in the state were saying
that the popular will is not always
right; that the mob spirit takes hold
of the public and moves them in mis-
take and that constitutions and laws
are made on which to anchor their
actions in times of storm. They
pointed out that judges might be
right in their decisions and the popu-
lar will for period might be wrong
and that if Judges were recalled for
decisions, whether right or wrong, it
was an intimidation of judges and
holding a threat over them that
would compel them to go out and
take measure Of the public senti-
ment and render decisions accord
ingly and that would be the most un-

AGED CARDINAL PASSES AWAY
Final Summons Answered by Noted
Churchman.

BaltimOre.-James Cardinal Gibbons
archbishop of Baltimore and primate
of the American Catholic church, died
at the archepiscopal residence here,
March "a, after prolonged illness
which mainly affected his heart. He
was in his 85th year. The end came
peacefully at IL :33 o'clock.
Born in Baltimore, Md, of Irish par
ents, July II, 1884, James Gibbons
spent his youth in Ireland, but when
he was lad of IA years his family
returned to America, settling in New
Orleans, where he acted as "punctual
grocer's boy"
His ambition for the priesthood be-
gan in those early days. At p he
began preparations for his service in
the Roman Catholic church. Gradual.
ing with distinguished honor from his
toric st. Charles college in Maryland,
he pursued his studies at the seminary
of st. Sulpice and st Mary's univer-
sity in Baltimore. At the outbreak of
the civil war he was ordained to the
priesthood in Baltimore.

IDAHO HAY SHIPPERS ASK
SPECIAL RATE EXTENSION

TWIN FAILS, Idaho.-Request for
extension until June of time on
emergency freight rates on hay from
Idaho to eastern points, which would
expire March 81, was made of the
Union Pacific railway officials by the
Twin Falls chamber of commerce
agricultural bureau.
The request is based on claims that
the weather has made roads impass-
able and hindered shipping; that a
better market is now available be-
cause Of deliveries of middle western
crops, and that reinstatement of the
original rate will entirely stop hay
slipments>from Idaho.

spicuous figure in Idaho politics,
but of late years has been less active.
Colonel Hamer in 1908 was nomin-
ated for congressman in the Republic
can state convention. He remained
in Washington but one term. At the
next election he was defeated for the
nomination. Hamer saw service in
the Spanish-American war and dur
ing the late war was connected with
the work of the war department. He
is an able speaker.

CARDINAL GIBBONS

There is dead in Baltimore an in
ternational figure, distinguished
American, high churchman, a
painstaking author of ecclesiastical
books Cardinal James Gibbons.
He was born in the United States
tho taken at an early age to Ire
land) and he rose in the course OF a
remarkable career from the first
orders of Roman Catholic priesthood
to the highest post in the gift of his
church on this continent; primate Of
America.
That is to say that he was, at his
death and for some time prior there
to, the Roman Catholic of highest
rank in the nation, the nominal head
of one of the worlds largest church
organizations in this hemisphere.
This position gave Cardinal Glib
bons sweeping influence, an influ-
ence which he used most wisely.
That is his best eulogy; that he kept
his faith. and finished his course, a
faith to which he was born and a
course laid out for him by his
church.
Cardinal Gibbons books included:
"The Faith of Our Fathers" "Our
Christian Heritage" "The Ambassa-
dor of Christ" A Retrospect of
Fifty Years."
The passing Of this churchman
was not unexpected. He had lived to
a ripe old age-had been an octogen-
arian for many years-and SO he
lapsed quietly into the sleep Of I'M
consciousness and drifted gradually
to that complete rest from
which one wakens no more in this
life. 1t was a fitting end for man
of peace.-Idaho Statesman.

MAJOR FRED REED GREAT.
EST OPTIMIST

The passing of Major Fred Reed
was beautiful. In the midst of his
busy. life, he lay down on his couch
and went to sleep. Partly disrobed
and reclining on his bed with pill
lows at his head, magazine at his
hand, carton of dates at his elbow,
an electric lamp bringing the sun
shine from the river, the Majors
hands relaxed and he fell asleep.
His baggage was packed for trip
to Washington, D. C. in the interests
of reclamation. The governor had
gone on before him and had wired
for him to follow.
The dreams that he had dreamed
for reclamation for generation had
been tradually coming into reality
and making new maps of Idaho.
Preliminary work is under way for
one of his greatest dreams, the
American Falls reservoir. The dawn
of a new era in construction seemed
to be opening and Idaho would have
a generous share in it.
He had already given thirty-five
years of service to his adopted state
and he wanted to give many more
years of his life. Active and Optimis-
tic to the last there were no waste
moments in his career. A sincere
friend of everybody, he was especi-
ally the friend of the humble and the
poor. He was active in promoting
all of Idaho's greatest reclamation
enterprises and he was also active in
detail in the interest Of thousands of
deserving individuals. Generous to
a fault, he was always generous
along the lines of high minded and
noble actions. Forgetful of self and
self interest, he was ever mindful OF
the interest of others.
The American Falls reservoir was
one of the dreams of the last ten years
of his life and now the rotary clubs
of Idaho and the press are proposing
that this new artificial lake, whose
construction is commencing, shall be
known as Fred Reed reservoir and
that a monument shall be erected in
great arch in the center of the dam
announcing that this lake and this
enterprise are dedicated by loving
people to the memory of Idaho's
greatest optimist, Major Fred Reed.
For more than 100 years it has
been said of Alexander Hamilton,
HE touched the corpse of public
credit and it sprang upon It's feet" In
all the vistas when the waves shall
lash the shores of Fred Reed reser- (,
voir for a thousand years, 1t will be
said of Major Reed, HE touched the
desert with irrigation and conquered
1t for the goddess of Ceres.

ONE HARDING POLICY

Washington dispatches indicate
that the governments foreign policy
will not be presented to foreign gov
ernments thru special emissaries
dispatched to those countries, plan
resorted to by President Wilson.
There will be no unofficial spokes-
men for this government sent to for
eign capitals to sound out public
opinion there. On the contrary, the
Harding administration will proceed
in the usual way by designating en-
voys, properly credited to the foreign
nations, and each will have credent-
ials to show that he is the represen-
tative of the United. States at the
post assigned.
President Harding desires to
handle relations with foreign govern
ments thru the state department or
the American embassies and lega-
lions abroad. His administration
vigorously opposes the practice of the
former administration of sending
emissaries to foreign capitals for the
purpose Of inquiry or to place before
these governments the view of the
United States on diplomatic rela-
tions. A recent report that an
American observer had been dis
patched to Mexico City was fatty
denied at the White House.
The Harding administration, how
ever, does not desire to be understood
as suggesting that a similar course be
followed by foreign governments
with respect to missions coming to
the United States. On the contrary.
1t is known that the forthcoming
visit Of Rene Viviani, former prime
minister Of France, is most desired
and that similar missions from other
nations would be given a. most cor
dial reception by the president and
his foreign relations advisers.
The American government desires
its point Of view on international re-
lations to be fully explained to all
foreign governments, but confidence
is felt that the American ambassa-
doris and ministers to be designated
to the various capitals, supplemented
with instructions from the Ameri-
can state department, will be fully
competent to disclose this view.
1t can be expected, therefore, that
American Diplomacy under the pres
ent administration will be directed
wholly from Washington, and pre-
sented to the foreign offices of the
world by properly accredited ambas-
sailors and ministers in the selec-
ton of which Mr.. Harding is seeking
the advice and suggestions of the
secretary of state and members of
the foreign relations committees of
both houses.-Salt Lake Tribune.

CALL I50UEu Fun
SPECIAL SESSION
CONGRESS TO MEET APRIL II AND
RECEIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
FROM NEW ADMINISTRATION.
Tariff and Tax Issues to Head Ses-
sion Work, But Other Important
Subjects Are to Be Passed on
When Lawmakers Meet.

Westinghouse formal call for an
extra session of congress, to meet
April II and receive legislative rec
OmmendatiOn from the new admins
tratiOn, was issued on March % by
President Harding.
None of the specific problems were
named in the proclamation, the presi-
dent merely declaring an extraordi-
nary occasion required that congress
convene ito receive such communica-
ton as may be made by the execu-
tive"
Mr.. Harding already has indicated.
however, that the tariff and taxation
will be foremost in his message. He Is
expected to make plea for prompt
relief to the nations agricultural in
terests, and the list of Recommended
lions may touch many other subjects,
such as the railroad situation, the
merchant marine and immigration.
One recommendation relative to re-
construction measures within the gov
eminent machine he is expected to sug-
gest is the creation of a general COM
mission to dispose of many kinds Of
property acquired by government
agencies during the war. Whether
the message will touch on foreign re-
latiOns is a matter of speculation, but
the president has indicated his pri-
mary desire is that the session work
out plan of governmental and indus
trial rehabilitation at home.
A program has been discussed at
conferences between the president and
congress leaders, and although def
mite decisions are to be made, a feel
ing Of confidence is manifest that there
will be working agreement that will
expedite legislative business from the
start.
Some of the presidents friends be-
lieve he will follow the custom of
President Wilson in delivering his
message in person.
