The Allies, who are being accused
of harshness with Germany in de-
manding $4,000, 100000 reparation for
the damage done by the war Germany
started, might be inclined to deal
more leniently with the defeated
country and accept its claims or
poverty with greater grace, if it were
not known that Germany is planning
to pay the ex-kaiser, who brought on
the war for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
$4,000 900 a year for number OF
years. A country that is willing to
contribute that sum to the brute who
forced the world into the greatest war
in its history, costing 100000 lives
and untold treasure, deserves no pity.
A people willing to contribute $4,000
900 a year to a brute of the type of
the former kaiser and refuses to con-
tribute anything for the support 81
widows and orphans lor which they
are directly responsible, are entitled
to no sympathy and no leniency.

There is much satisfaction in the
announcement made by Senator Good
ing in the telegram to F. A. David, OF
Moscow. that he is working for the
interest of the University of Idaho
and the school system OF the state
No one who knows Senator Gooding,
doubts that he is and has always been
right on this question, but unscrupu-
lous persons were trying to create the
impression that he was against the
University. If it had not been for the
firm stand taken by Frank Goodlng,
who was governor of Idaho when the
administration building burned many
years ago, the university would not
be in Moscow today.

The talk of new state formed with
portions of eastern Washington, the
panhandle" of Idaho and western
Montana, with Spokane as the capltal,
'listens good" and fills newspaper
space, but there is not one chance IN
500 that it will ever be consumated.
Eastern senators will not form any
new western states and give the west
two more snators, but the state can
not be formed without the consent of
congress.

We wonder if the passage of the
eak bill to require permits to be
sued for swimming. dancing and D.,
tomobiling in Idaho will require
rsons to secure permit from Boise
order to take bath in their own no

e provision requiring a health ex- +bs
