Half Citizens.

A RECENT issue of Golfers de-
voted full page to leading American
citizens who are ineligible to become
president of the United States because
they do not happen to be natural
born citizens"-to quote the constitu-
ton. An even dozen pictures of these
men were shown on this page. And
an odd feature was that two of them
were citizens of Idaho. For Govern
or D. w. Davis was born in Wales
and Senator Frank Gooding first saw
the light of day in England.
Perhaps the most noteworthy Of
American citizens who came in this
class was the late. Franklin K. Lane,

administration and man who, but for

and is probably as familiar with it,
from every angle, as any man in the
congress of the United States today.
But familiarity with subject does
not make a good congressman when
of constituents interests
is involved. Work, and lots of it,
must go hand in hand with knowl-
edge And right there is where Bur-
ton L. French stands out as the para
mount representative of Idaho and
the west. AS Ed Hayes of Emmett
SO aptly remarked after the congress
man had handed Idaho's delegation a
few boquets and had belittled the part
that he, himself had in making the

ing the work.
1t is said that during the six weeks
when the future of Black Canyon hung
in the balance, French visited the de.
partment of the interior every day
pressing Black Canyon claims for re-
cognition and relief and seeking in
formation relative to progress that hac
been made. Trrn ~ not, nevertheless
the story is typical of the eternal
vigilance of the man who stands as
Idaho's buffer at Washington.

been a Democratic presidential can
didate.
Golfers brands this constitutional
bar to the highest office in the land as
"hyphenated" Americanism and those
who suffer from its sting as half
portion citizens" And the article con.
cludes:
Of course, few of these men
would care to be president or vice
president. Still fewer, perhaps,
would ever stand ghost of
show of being nominated, much
less elected. Nevertheless, is it
not unwise that we should help to
hyphenate our citizenship-and,
therefore, our national viewpoint
by retaining the hyphen in our
Constitution?

Less Foolishness.

LOUIS JAMES, nationally known
aviator, swung from one plane to an
other by means of rope ladder. In
some way the two planes did not
separate promptly enough; his ladder
swung him against the propeller OF
the machine from which he had jump
ed, and he was, literally, cut to pieces
in midair.
Madame Georges Breyer, French
woman of Lyons, chartering an air
plane for hurried trip from vaca-
ton resort to Naples, found nature
faster than the machine and bore a
son 5000 feet in the air. Both she and
the boy were safely landed, and later
she purchased the machine, which
had thus become immortal as the first
to give life.

For all of Us.

THE PRESIDENT of the United
States has just made this solemn state
ment, which must find responsive
echo in every true American heart:
The foremost thought in the Con-
stitution is the right to freedom and
the pursuit of happiness. Men must
be free to live and achieve. Liberty is
gone in America when any man is de-

and 70 lead 4 person to believe that N article made
chiefly 81 cotton is all wool IS just J plain fraud
+. The company Interested set up the plea that
the names had become recognized trade symbols,
|apd that when the word 'merino," for instance, was
used, it was understood to apply 10 cotton mix
,ture. Other terms in which the word wool
tons are finsy. To the ordinary person the word
"merino' means wool of a certain kind. The people
who have used this word to describe their cotton
product are quite we'll aware of that fact, and the
only possible purpose in using the word is to create
a false impression in the mind Of the purchaser, and
to persuade him that what he is buying is some
thing that it is not. Sales made under those con-
ditions involve obtaining money under false pre-
fences, and should be so treated.
IT is not necessary that a manufacturer shall
describe his goods. He may exhibit them and per-
nit the purchaser to buy on his own Judgment.
But when the manufacturer or dealer does use a
descriptive term, that term should tell the truth in
such a manner that the person to whom the descrip-
ton is given can understand it.

MUST HAVE BEEN M1souorEp

President Harding must have been misquoted
in the reports of what he is alleged to have said with
reference to daylight saving. The questionw whether
or not this familiar plan is adopted in the city of
Washington this season depends on the issuance Of
an executive order on the subject. The president
is reported to have said that he saw no excuse for
sucll a deception, and that while the plan might be
well enough for country districts. it could be of no
value in the cities.
President Harding must be aware of the fact
that the so-called daylight saving plan deceived no
body. Where it is adopted it is in response to the
demand Of large numbers Of people that the days
labors in the summer time begin and close an hour
earlier than usual, the arrangement providing an
extra hour of daylight after the ordinary working
day is over. The same result would be reached by
changing the schedules SO that everything would be
set an hour earlier by the clock. Such a change
would involve a great deal of inconvenience and in
many cases considerable expense. 1t has been
found more convenient to use the same clock and
the same hour schedule, but to shove the clock
ahead an hour. Everybody understands that.
As to the rest of it, the daylight saving plan is
IN high favor in the cities, and practically all the
opposition to it has come from the country. for no
sound reason that we can understand. If the presi-
dent is correctly quoted he has just got the facts
reversed.

THE BOY AND THE HEALTH CARD
It would be interesting to know nov

1t would be interesting to know how many
Dmothers have reached the same conclusion with
reference to tho use of health cards that is reached
by the mother whose letter appeared in a recent
issue Of The Herald. The writer believes that the
use Of the cards induces the fibbing habit in chill
dren, especially in active boys.
There does not seem to be much room for argu-
clcanly, sanitary habits, and of directing thought
toward them SO often and in such a manner that
the acts will become instructive, and that there will
be developed in the child a distaste for the uncleanly
and unwholesome that these things will be regarded
as abnormal and quite foreign to any ordinary ex-
%perience.
The use of the card, however, as practiced in
many cases, involved something different. Tom
Sawyer poured the medicine down a crack in a floor
until the cat came along and seemed to want some.
He went through certain motions appropriate to
washing his face, but was careful not to let any of
the water touch him. Tom was a deceiver, and a
verydhunnan boy, at that. We imagine Tom would
have done wonders with a health card. He would
have checked himself up day after day with a per-
feet score, or one as near perfect as prudence would
permit, but the score card would have been any
thing but an accurate record of the things that he
really did. OF course Tom should have been con-
verified from his sinful ways, but the conversion of
a lively small boy is sometimes difficult and not yet
thoroughly understood.
would put boys on honor completely and in every
thing. But there is such a thing as playing too
great a strain on the boys %rectitude, and there are
times when it is wise to withhold temptation from
him. There are boys, and very likeable ones, who,
If left to keep their own score, would learn to pre-.
varicate more rapidly than they would learn to
clean their teeth.

IT DOES HAPPEN

One Of the most thrilling passages in anv of
Victor Hugo's works is his description OF the
struggle of one of his heroes with a devil fish at
the bottom of the sea, where the diver was working
single-handed to release a vessel from the perilous
position in which she had landed on the rocks. The
picture is painted in all the strong colors of the
writer's vivid imagination, and the reader feels that
re IS watching a real struggle for life as he reads
the enthralling narrative.
This particular bit has been treated with no
little scorn by writers who, while admitting the
merit OF the story as a work of art, hold it utterly
impossible as a bit Of natural history. We have
been told that such a thing could not happen. and
that nothing approaching it has ever been known to
happen because the devil fish such as has been
is purely a fabulous monster, and that the
areal sI,onr1ai is : comparatively insignificant creature.
Nevertheless, over in Puget Sound the other
day. diver had an experience which closely paral-
Stleled that recotnted by Hugo. Working so feet,be-
Msaths the surface the diver was attacked by one Of
these sdisagreeabl creatures, And the monster held

DEFERRED TAX PAYMENTS.

Under the present law one-half of the general
property taxes assessed against an individual may
be paid in the spring and the remainder Of the pay
ment be deferred until fall without penalty or in
terest. Under the former law, all taxes became
payable December l, and became delinquent
March L. The change was advocated as a meas
ure of relief to persons who found it difficult to
raise all the money necessary to pay their taxes at
one time.
When the taxpayer goes to pay his taxes about
March l he finds it an undoubted convenience to
be able to get by" with the payment of only half
OF the tax. This convenience is Offset, at least in
some measure, by the fact that when November
comes around he must make another payment
which, under the old method, he would have al
ready paid in the spring. If he chooses to avail
himself Of the privilege of letting half his taxes re-
main unpaid until fall he must make two tax paw
ments a year instead of one, and the advantage is
not very great after the system is once in operation
and the advantage of skipping the first half pay
ment has disappeared.
Some of those familiar with the subject saw that
except in this matter OF. time the present system
actually works to the disadvantage of the tax-pav-
er, as, while he pays less money at one time. he
pays oftener and pays out more real money than
would otherwise be necessary. The point is that
the taxing bodies, being deprived for six months
of funds which they would ordinarily receive. are
compelled to borrow larger sums and pay more in
terest, thereby increasing the total of the tax levy.
There is a further disadvantage in that more cler-
ical help is required at the county seat to take care
OF the divided payments than if the entire sum were
paid in one lump.
This subject is one which interests every tax
payer directly If the present system is generally
advantageous it should be retained. If it is in
furious it should be discarded. There is plenty of
time between now and the meeting of the legisla-
ture to ascertain just what the facts are, and it
should be the business both Of individuals and of
those who aspire to seats in the legislature to ia
rniiarize themselves with the facts, to the end that
If there is occasion for action by the legislature
next winter it may be taken inteiligently.
