not forget the living. The resources, the skill, the science and the com forts of the nation should and must be at the command of the disabled veterans. You men as soldiers of this republic went forth as your sires before you, adding many a heroic Ipage to your country's history and rich lustre to your country's flag.
 'So I say, you men of the Ameri- can army, you men of the overseas forces, are entitled to every consid- eration that this great nation can afford, not by way of a gratuity, but as partial and just recompense for valiant service and untold sacrifice
 We are all proud of the greatness and glory of our country. Upon a hundred battlefields the valor of her armies has been nobly sustained. Her liberties purchased by blood and ce- mented in war are nowhere excelIed. Her navies have never met defeat; and her flag IS known and honored throughout the earth as the flag of justice and freedom. For almost century she has been the champion and protector of two continents. Her people warred for four years to es- tablish principles of government and humanity and to perpetuate an inde structible union. Under her flag, the oppressed and downtrodden people of every land and cline have come to breathe the pure air of freedom.
 There has of late years been studied effort, an insidious propa- ganda to eliminate from the history of the nation many of its most stir ring pages. An end should be put to this infamous propaganda at once. It is for us to tell again and again the story of those who suffered and sacrificed in behalf of their country and of heroic actions, past and pres ent
 "To the patriots and martyrs of the past we do homage today and in like manner do we honor those who were stricken in the late war against Germany. That this spirit may ever live, that just recognition may be given to those whose valorous deeds have made possible the proud history of our country should be the aim of every true and loyal man,

 SERVICES AT PLAZA
 Equally impressive were the ex- ercises in town. Assembling at the high school at 10 o'clock, immediate ly after the conclusion of the pro- gram at the post, veterans of the Civil, Spanish-American and World Wars, together with high school cadets, boy scouts and school chil- dren, paraded to the plaza, where the Memorial Day exercises were held with Prof. S. H. Martin, city superintendent of schools, as master of ceremonies.
 Crowds of people witnessed the parade, which was led by the colors followed in the line of march by the Prescott municipal band led by Prof F. w. Terry. As the colors passed those lined up along Gurley street and the Gurley and Cortez corner, hats were lifted and cheers sounded. l At the plaza, the colors were car

 Seated on the portico of the court house were those who were to take part in the program, Prof. Martin, Rev. Father Camilo Torrente, Rev. E. Lee Howard and Rev. E. A. Watts. Pronouncing the invocation, Father Torrente said:
 To-day we honor the memory of the boys in the graves as well as those baptized by blood, who now wander the hills to the east of Pres colt, maimed and shatter in heart as a result of the war, and similar men throughout our land"
 "The crosses which point heaven ward are mute evidence of the sac rifices offered to the Lord of the World, the Ruler of Nations, the God of Right and of Battle, that freedom and justice should remain upon the earth"
 In his remarks introducing Dr. E. Lee Howard, Prof. Martin, as mas ter of ceremonies, said in part:

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 3O- Two men were shot, 100 others were arrested. 100 game cocks seized and the cock fighting derby of Massa- chusetts and Connecticut was brought to an abrupt and dramatic end this afternoon when state con- stabulary officers and police sur rounded and raided the three-ring fight circus staged in a tobacco barn in Feeding Hill
 Of the two men shot, Robert Nc Bride, 60, was the more seriously in- jured.
 The raid was one of the most spec tacular staged in this section in years. Many of the men attending the fight

IDAHo's OLD STUFF.
(Anaconda standard)

(Anaconda Standard
Idaho comes forward with evidence
which she fondly believes proves that
her early pioneers antedated those of
any other state in the Union. not ex-
ceptng the cliff dwellers of Arizona
or the mound builders of Ohio. She
points with pride to symbols on rocks
in Owyhee county that may have been
chiseled 10000 years ago. The in
seriptions bear striking resemblance
to Chinese alphabet characters. The
rocks are in the vicinity of several
caves which scientists are now ex-
ploring. Two distinct types of cary
ings, Geographic and Photographic.
have been noted. Archaeologists be-
lieve the Geographic antedates by
many years the Photographic. Both
examples have been found on a sin
gle rock. Nearby is another rock with
a possible third system supposed to
antedate both the others but which
has weathered beyond possibility of
deciphering. Indians say the more
modern carvings are the work of their
forefathers but assert the others are
the work of evil spirits. Resemblance
of the inscriptions to Chinese charac- /
ters is taken by some to substantiate
the theory that the early American /

SENIORITY.
(Boise Statesman

Even a railroad official must not
make promises carelessly. Having
made them he must be prepared to
keep them That is why the railroad
executives are adamant on this sub
ject Of seniority.
5. NJ. FELTON,, whose business is ex-
planning things to the public on be-
half of the railroad owners. puts it
briefly and simply Most railway ex-
.ecutives could not accept the presi-
dents seniority plan without not only
violating their own promises but flat
ly compromising officers to whom
they gave authority and instructions
to make promises"
The railroad heads and their repre-
sentatives promised to safeguard for
the men who stayed at work and the
new men who came on whatever SEN
iority they earned. Seniority is a val
liable asset. The senior employe gets
his choice of jobs when a choice is
possible. When men must be laid Off
he is the last to go. Seniority is as
surance of pleasant and steady en-
ployment. 1t is a valuable possession.
To give it to men who have forfeit
ed their rights by quitting and to take
it from men who have earned it by
working would be Illogical and I'M
fair. Besides, the railroad owners
have made promises.
The very men who are now clamor-
ing for them to break these promises
are the men who would everlastingly
damn them if, having signed a labor
contract or made promise in normal |
times, they even suggested the posi-
bility of disregarding it.

MAINTENANCE OF HIGHWAYS A
SERIOUS PROBLEM.

The construction of good highways
is now recognized as an absolute ne
cessity and little protest is heard
against expenditure of public funds
for permanent road improvements.
But with the completion of a good.
modern highway comes the question
of maintenance. for no surface has
been devised that is proof against the
constant wear of heavy traffic, and
unless provision is made for repairs
the best roads will be in a deplorable
condition long before the bonded debt
incurred for their construction has
been paid. In Idaho when the main
highways have been constructed in
cooperation with the state and in ac-
cordance with state specifications. the
state assumes the cost of maintenance
which of course means that the ex-
pense falls primarily upon the tax
payers of the state At the present
rate of constructing state highways
it is evident that if these roads are
to be kept up to the required stand
ard the cost of maintenance will
within a few years assume enormous
and prove heavy bur
den upon the taxpayers of the state
Having already piled up a bonded
debt for road construction that has
has made the rate of taxation almost
conhscatory in some counties, it fol-
lows that taxpayers generally will
balk at the prospect of further taxes
to maintain the roads, thus present
ing a problem which it would be well
for legislative candidates to consider
now with the view to framing a meas

ng the coming session. The fairest
plan proposed is to shift the expense /
If maintenance upon the users of the /
Dads by placing an additional license
AK upon automobiles and a further
additional tax upon jitneys and
rucks hauling heavy loads over the
Dads.

(Senator Borah of Idaho today
made the following statement in ref
erence to the suggestion of cancella-
ton of the war debts:)
Assuming for the purpose of this
statement that there will come a
time when the United States will con-
slider the proposition of canceling a
part or all of the foreign debt, 1 take
it that that time will never come dur
ing the program as is now sug-
gested.
There is one thing in all this dis
cussion from abroad relative to can
ceiling the foreign debt which is
never mentioned. It is wholly ignOr-
ed in the letter by the British govern
ment addressed to France but in
tended for the United States, and that
is the subject of disarmament
The people of United States could
never be greatly interested in any
proposition for the cancellation of any
part of the debt to the United States
unless the proposition is accompanied
by definite and specific plan sup
ported by certain guarantees for prac-
teal disarmament both by land and
sea.
There is nothing to be gained by
our cancelling this debt or any part of
liz if the gigantic military and arma-
ment programs in Europe are to
continue. It would amount in prac-
teal effect to our aiding and abetting
the building up of these great military
and armament establishments and
thereby abetting war.
If cancellation is to be considered
at all it should be considered in the
interest of humanity. of economic |
sanity and not to enable these coun- |
tries to build up and maintain these

armies. which are now burdening and |

England has declared: Keep your

ADDISON SMITH WILL BE KEPT
ON THE JOB.

Although representing the second
congressional district. it is highly
gratifying to the many friends of Con-
gresham Addison T. Smith in the
northern part of the state to know
that he has no opposition and that ne
will be renominated unanimously by
the approaching state convention in
this city His election will of course
follow without question, for it is inn
possible to conceive that he could be
rejected by the people of his district.
To do so would be unfortunate not
alone for the state of Idaho. but for
every other western state. for Mr.
Smiths service has not been limited
to the state of Idaho. While attentive
to all legislative measures and de-
partmental matters directly concern
ing the people of his own state, Mr..
Smiths breadth of vision includes the
entire west and his name is INSOFAR
ably linked with measure now
pending in congress which will event
ually be passed and which will rank
with the homestead law in its direct
benefits to the western states This
refers to the Smith McNary reclaim
alton bill. of which ne is one of the /
authors. If he had done nothing else, /
the passage of this bill will insure
Addison T. Smith a place among
hose who have accomplished great
.hings for the settlement and devel-
'pment of the west
Although residing in an agricultural
section of the state Mr.. Smith has a
lear grasp Of the Importance Of the ]
mining industry of Idaho and the mi
Ter has had no more faithful support

REPUBLICANS HAVE STRONG
COUNTY ORGANIZATION.

After guiding the destiny of the re-

through two successful campaigns,
James H. Taylor has retired from the
craftsmanship of the republican coun-
~ committee. Harry A. Rogers, the
efficient secretary of the committee,
during the same period, has also re-
tired. This action was voluntary on
the part of both Mr.. Taylor and Mr.
Rogers. both of whom are candidates
in the present campaign, and for that
reason they felt as a matter of pro-
priety that the management Of the
campaign should be in other hands

HALEY THE BATTLE GROUND
FOR DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS.

The old fight between the Nugent
and Day factions of the democratic
party in Idaho will be renewed at
HALEY when the bourbons of the state
assemble on the 22d to nominate a
state ticket Moses Alexander is the
Nugent candidate for governor and
according to southern Idaho news
paper reports, Judge W. NJ. Morgan
is being groomed by the Days to con-
test the nomination with the redoubt-
able Nose. The fight in the conven-
ton promises to be a bitter one, al
belt one-sided contest and the
wounds that will be carried away will
be too deep to be healed by the usual
appeal to party harmony All indi-
cations point to a decisive victory for
Nugent and Alexander. for the pres
tige of the Days in the political af-
fairs of the state, if we may judge by
their waning influence in their own
county, is no longer a factor of great
Importance except in their own mag
ination. The approaching contest in
the Haley convention has this com
ment from the Pend dOreille Review,
of Standpoint:
With Nugent coming to the
state, democratic newspapers
have been telling the dope and
this dope is to the effect that
jerry Days right hand political
agent has been down through
southern Idaho previous to
the primaries fixing things for
Judge William Morgan, who is to
be, according to the dopesters,
jerry Days candidate for govern
or against Moses Alexander, when
the unwashed gather at Haley
this month.
Jerry and Bill prefer to regis
ter their legal residence as Mos
COW. They are on friendly terms.
Perhaps Judge Morgan is Jerry's
candidate 1t might be so Any
way Nose is going to make the
judge the candidate of predatory
wealth. as represented in the
democratic party by the Days and
the old fight in the party will
break forth in fun flame at Hal
ley.

whereby an air lane is formed for
carrying electrical energy This en-
ergy being enveloped to reduce waste
in electricity TO a minimum" When
the problem of wirelessing electricity
is solved. the fuel problem will be
solved also. There will be, engineers
predict a universal use of electricity
in place of coal for all purposes. 9th

thousands of electrical horsepower to
machines of industry many miles
away; and abolition of the use of gas

be supplied TO engines from central
stations. All these things seem Wis

the telegraph and the telephone would
have seemed to people in the early
