If congress will put the railroads back
into running so to speak on smooth
rails, and will supplement proper
legislation for the benefit Of the agrt-
cultural interests all will be well
but here again one runs up against
conflicting views. There are men who
think that the railroads do not need
any additional legislation for their
benefit and that the farming interests
already have been sufficiently pro-
vided for and that therefore some
thing entirely new in the way Of legis-
lation is needed to start the factory

Small Nations and the Conference.

Based ON information which
came from men in touch with the
intentions of the various countries
Of earth, the statement was made six
weeks ago that while the disarma-
ment conference membership will be
limited to certain great nations, there
viii be present outside the conference
chamber many pleaders in behalf of
countries aud half-Countries which lie
along a line much longer than that
which runs from Byzantium to Spain"
Although warned long ago, the adj
ministration and the State department
are only today taking something like
alarmed notice Of the intention of ev-
cry small nation Of earth, every half
nation, and every country that wants
to he nation, to have representatives
in Washington at the forthcoming dis
armament and Far East conferences.
Today Washington Otticialdom Is re-
asserting its determination that there
shall be no consideration Of any inter-
national problems that may becloud
the main issue" Apparently 1t took
the State department a long time to
learn of the activities Of the agents
of small countries who have been
working in Washington with Il view
to securing some kind Of represen-
tation In the forthcoming conference,
or. failing this, to force the consider
alton of problems with which the rep
resentatiyes at the conference are sup
posed to have nothing to do.
Headquarters for Propaganda.
OF course the will of the admins
tration will prevail and nothing will
be taken up at the conference except
disarmament and Far East problems.
but If the propagandists in behalf Of
other things are given the news and
newspaper opportunities which they
seek, the public will be given full in
formation concerning the alleged
needs Of this land or Of that land, the
boundary and other troubles of every
small stnte, and full presentment Of
the wishes Of all the peoples under
the sun.
In other words, Washington will
be the headquarters during the CON
ference Of the propagandists in be-
half Of countries, races, ana very like
~ religions The conferees will have
trouble to keep away from the impor-
tunsts, and 10 dodge vocal and print

Disagree on Legislation.

Concerning some Of the legislation
which the administration evidently
desires to have put through for the
purpose Of ending unemployment,
there is n vast gulf of disagreement
between representatives Of the en-
ployerS and representatives of the en-
pIoyed. Legislation for the relief Of
the railroads is a point at issue. The
executives of the roads look at il one
way and men employees look at 1t
another way. There will be some kind
of n compromise on legislation, but
the history of things ever since the
DAYS of the Missouri Compromise
goes to show that compromises gen
orally are only strong enough to
struggle through short life.
It is certain that there is economic
trouble in the country. Some six
millions Of Americans have acute
knowledge of this fact Men and
women who made big wages during
the war and did not waste their money
are much better Off today than their
brothers and sisters who also made
big money hut who insisted on enfold-
ing themselves In silk shirts and
Alaska seal skins. The virtue Of
thrift is preached from a good many
pulpits of the land every Sunday, but
there are some millions Of Americans
today who apparently stand ready to
say that experience is better teacher
than any nreacher.

ORIGIN OF @OWYHEEv

A subscriber has asked from whence
comes the name "Owyhee." The name
was mentioned by Ross in his Fur
Hunters" pages l. SO. $50. and 1855.
along with mention of the Irquois
and Abnaki, as though 1t were the
name of an Indian tribe, members of
which formed party Of voyageurs
on the Columbia river in Oregon. The
name however, is simply an early
form OF Hawaii, Kanakas having
made their influence felt on the north
west coast in the early half OF the
nineteenth century and later. The
name. spelled Owyhee. survives In the
name of a river in the northern part
of this county, which also flows in
Oregon and Idaho. is also applied to
range of mountains along the same
stream, a desert, a county in Idaho
and a postoffice in Elko county

MORE ABOUT LETHAL
GAS EXECUTIONS

The lethal gas bill, which was
passed by the late legislature, and
proposes execution of condemned
criminals by administration of poison
Gus gas during hours of sleep, has
caused nationwide discussion over
its merits and demerits.
Governor Boyle. who is holding the
bill pending thorough investigation
both from state and national inter-
est. continues to dig into this method
of execution. 1t has SO many angles
that he is calling on states of ex-
perience and societies as to the ac-
ton Of such treatment for death.
The story has been general that
France carried on its executions by
lethal gas. This Is like many such
rumors, without foundation. In order
to get a lineup OF the situation the
governor few days ago sent the fol
lowing telegram:
National Committee on Prison and
Prison Labor, Washington, D. C.
Il have before me bill providing
for execution of the death penalty by
the administration of lethal gas. Am
advised that France uses this method.
Can you wire me collect any infor-
nation pro or con on this matter be-
fore the 26th instant.
EMMETT d. BOYLE. Governor"
This morning the following answer
was received, which puts a new light
on the subject, as 1t upsets the state
ment that the French have adopted
this mode Of execution:
Lieutenant Colonel H. L. Gilchrist
chief medical section chemical war
fare service, strongly in favor of
method. Recommends hydrocyanic
gas to produce immediate uncon-
seriousness and instant death. French
embassy informs me that France
does not use gas, but the guillotine
for execution of death penalty. Gas
used for killing dogs and exterminat-
ing vermin. The National Commits
tee on Prisons and Prison Labor,
however. is opposed to capital pun
ishment. We believe the public
should oppose killing by gas as it has
opposed killing by hanging and cleo
trocuting and We urge you to recon-
mend that the legislature substitute
life Imprisonment"
AS the governor has several days
left to decide on his action regarding
the new proposed law. he anticipates
many more queries and protests
over the matter. 1t is certainty
that either way he decides it will be
following complete investigation Of
the proposition.
