L OR NOTHING.

President Harding's warning against an ex-
aggerated estimate of the possibilities Of the arnla-
1ment conference has brought forth much comment,
some of it decidedly unfavorable. In answer to
his suggestion that we strive for practical things
which can be accomplished rather than for ideals
which are impossible Of realization it IS said by
one eastern paper that America is a nation OF ideal
ism, and we are told that if the practical rather
than the ideal had governed the nation would never
have been\ established, and that, having been es-
tablished, it would never have succeeded III throw
ing off the curse Of slavery.
The com parsons are unfortunate for those
who make them. The colonists did attempt a
practical solution of their problems on the basis
of reasonable adjustment and compromise, and the
failure of their efforts i'll that direction participated
a war which they would gladly have avoided. III
the middle of the last century the abolition Of slav-
cry was hindered, not helped, by those who, in
their i~nsistence on an ideal rejected the gradual
steps by which that ideal might have been ap-
preached. Had Lincoln, who was as greatly infu-
enced by his strong common sense as by his ideal
ism, been given a free hand he could have settled
the question of slavery without the appeal to war
which cost SO many lives and inflicted SO many
Wounds upon the nation.
Our delegates to the coming conference may,
if they choose. lay down a program Of complete
disarmament and take their position i1nlnevably
upon it. They may declare that the people OF the
United States will accept nothing less than the re-
duction Of all armed forces to the proportions Of
mere local police forces. If they should do that
they would be told by the other delegates that
such a program is impossible for them, and after
The exchange Of a few graceful compliments the
conference would adjourn sine die. The world
would have made not an inch Of progress toward
disarmament, and the utter failure OF the confer
erce to accomplish a single result would place al
most insuperable obstacles in the way Of any fu
ture conference on the subject.
Fortunately our delegates are not going into
conference expecting OF insisting on the impossi-
lie. They are going III with full recognition that
ornaments are governed largely by local condi-
tions, and that the subject is one which must be
dealt with in the light Of the needs and the environ
1nent OF each Of the participating %nations.
If the conference results in agreements which
will materially lessen the burden of ornaments it
will have been well worth while. But its useful
ness lies less in what it can do in the way of i'm
mediate reduction than in the possibility that
Through it the effort Of the world will have been
/ given a new direction, and that instead Of pi.ing
up armament on armament, as in the past, we
shall have started in a systematic way Oh the work
of5reducing the load year after year until in time
twill be possible to cast off the burden altogether.

marks would be resented by not a few others who
have posed as the friends of a down-trodden race
but notwithstanding these objections from both
sides. the presidents position is logical, and no
other position can be defended. The negro is an
American citizen, and as such he stands. before the
law in all respects on a basis of absolute equality
with his white ~ncighbor. He has an equal right to
vote, to hold office, to own property, and to con-
troll independently the disposition Of his own prop
erty. No other race has any right to exercise iuris-
Idiction over him in any way whatever.
While this is true, the doctrine of-social equal
'ity cannot be admitted, 1t is not necessary to en-
ter into questions of superiority and inferiority.
The fact is that the black race and the white. race
are different and between them, especially in this
country, there exists a chasm which car,lot be
bridged in any manner consistent with the self-re-
spect OF a vast majority Of our population. The
negro must enjoy all the rights which he possesses
under the constitution, and while it may be impos-
sible to define i1l~laws just how the social relations
between the races are to be regulated and adjust

u~lationwEicl is generally understood and general
Ily approved, and no a1nount OF agitation, no argu-
rlent, and no legislation can overcome the differ
cnces which exist in this respect.
The action Of the president in expressing him
self as he has done required not a little courage,
because it was certain that the subject which he
had undertaken to discuss was one bristling with
complications and perplelities, and the manner in
which the president has handled it will commend
itself generally to the people OF the country.

The Kar1ist attempt in Hungary has had even
shorter shrift than the slort-1ived coup i'll Berlin.
he climate i'll Europe just now is not good for
5fohet1zollerns Of Hapsburgs. Karl, at any rate, is
not the man to rejuVenate 1nonarchis1a, even III
hungary. He represents a damaged name, a de
Ginning institution, and probably a depleted pl7vs-
t1cal and moral constitution. 1t is said his wife IS att
thor Of his ambitions and that would not be fatal.
Mems fortunes have been made by their wives as
well as marred, and Zita in happier circumstances
might have been a Maria Theresa.
The attempt has cost some lives. Some gallant
men have died for the ideas represented BY Karl
and some OF those represented by the regency. But
that is a small item in a tremendous account Of En-
,ropeaf1 affairs. The attempt was bound to come
and the threat OF it was worse than the event. Re

by its easy victory at the gates of Budapest, ard

Stuart family made some trouble for England ard
even the sorry figure of the Young Pretender was
Ia party rallying point for a generation of British
tpolitics.
But the political psychology of Europe has
swept far into the domain Of democracy since the
day OF Bonnie Prince Charlie. Doubtless, the mon
Earchial idea has some vitality still, but It must BE

.WREcKING A ROAD DELIBERATELY.

The building OF roads is SO costly, and their
deterioration under ordinary and necessary condi-
lions is SO rapid and unavoidable, that the delib-
crate wrecking Of a road when once it has been
built is almost unthinkable. Yet it is this de1ib-
crate destruction which is being planned for a piece
Of. road some ~ miles long down in illinois.
This bit Of road, built in sections, each section
representing a different type OF construction, was
built for the express purpose of being wrecked, and
in the process many thousands Of dollars will have
been expended.
The whole work is undertaken by the federal
governments Bureau Of Public roads, in co-opera-
ton with the highway department of Illinois, for
the purpose of determining the best type Of con-
s%tructlon Tor service under various conditions. The
road is to be submitted to all the tests known TO
road builders. Trucks loaded in various wavs are
to be run over 1t at all sorts of speeds. making
thousands OF trips, and close watch Of every section
IS to be kept up SO that the effect Of the different
kinds OF wear on the several materials NAV be NOT
ed.#lhe tests are to be continued until the road
As literally worn out. and from the observations
made it IS expected that there will be compiled the
most valuable collection Of road statistics ever col
sIected.
These tests will cost money, but BY means of
the information collected it is hoped that thousands
sof times the sums expended will be saved in suisse
quent road construction and treatment.

to be the sabjectsof vigorous protest from yarious
quarters, 0ne Of these was the presidents declara-

WAGES AND RATES
TO RECEIVE CUT
Several Railroads Meet
in Chicago and Reach
Decision

Managers of the western group OF
railroads met in Chicago Tuesday
and decided upon the immediate
posting Of notices Of wage reductions
Of 10 per cent according to an an
nouncement given out on that day
The roads represented at the
meeting included the Santa Fe, Great
Western, Rock Island, Northwestern
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
Great Northern.
In the proposed cuts all depart
ments would be affected and COM
mittees were appointed to draft the
notice Immediately so that the roads
may 60 before the labor board and
ask for an early hearing.
Shipping Rates Reduced
Following this meeting the Ma
tional Industrial Traffic league an
nounced that meeting would be held
Wednesday and Thursday to ask
that the railroads press their claims
for wage reduction on basis Of re-
ductions to the shippers. This
league represents many important
shippers of the country.
Three salient points in the resolu-
tions prepared for presentation are
that the railroad wage be put on a
corresponding level with those of
other industries, that wage reduc-
tions and rate reductions take place
simultaneously and the immediate
abrogation Of national agreements,
made effective during the period Of
government control.

Many Holdups in
Idaho Falls Call
for Drastic Action

Seven holdups were reported to
the police in one night in Idaho Falls
and the city administration there is
now taking drastic action to prevent
a recurrence of this work.
The police department there has
spread dragnet over the city and
every man not able to give a good
account of himself is taken to police
headquarters for investigation.
Mayor Lewis has authorized Police
Chief Carlson to deputize as many
men as he may need or that he
thinks necessary to combat this wave
of robbing and housebreaking.
hTere is some fear that the same
action may be necessary here, but
there has been no cases reported in
Blackfoot and there is no cause for
alarm.

Silver in Finger
Causes Severe Case
of Blood Poisoning

e. G. Stultz came near losing his
life last week from blood poisoning.
He ran silver into a joint of the
little finger and had considerable diff
ficulty in getting it out, he was not
quite sure that all of 1t was removed.
His finger was dressed with iodine
as disinfectant and it got alright
in two or three days. Then after he
had forgotten about the finger his
arm and shoulder began to swell and
the swelling kept extending into his
body. At first they did not suspect
that there was any connection be-
tween the sore finger that he had and
this new trouble and they did not
know what to treat him for. In the
meantime the infection was spread
ing and it developed into blood
poison. He suffered intensely for
several days and nights, but is now
on the high road to recovery.

RUPE BOYS GO HUNTING

nesday morning for hunting trip
to Little Lost river. They went out
year ago and got deer and the boys
enjoyed 1t Immensely, Father 'Rupe
admitting that he had very good
time himself.
Mr.. Rupe said he had quite a
problem to decide in this case. The
boys were in school and the fall work
was all done, and the boys were
crazy to 60 hunting and he did not
like to take them out Of school to
go on hunting trip and he did not
like to keep them in school when
they were SO crazy to be out on the
trail of the deer. He thought when
the boys had worked hard alt sum
mer and done their very best, they
were entitled to 60. So he made his
arrangements to leave on Wednesday
morning to show the boys a good
time. y
