TO AN ANXIOUS FRIEND

You tell me that law is above free
dom Of utterance. And I reply that
you can have no wise laws nor free
enforcement of wise laws unless
there is free expression OF the wis
dom of the people-and, alas, their
folly with it. But if there is freedom,
folly will die of it's own poison, and
the wisdom will survive That is the
history of the race. It is the proof of
mans kinship with God. You say
that freedom Of utterance is not for
time of stress, and reply with the
sad truth that only in time of stress
is freedom of utterance in danger.
No one questions it in calm days, be-
cause 1T is not needed. And the re-
verse is true also; only when free ut
terance is suppressed is. it needed,
and when it is needed, it is most vital
to justice. Peace is good. But if,
you are interested in peace through
force and without. free discussion
that is to say, free utterance decently;
and in order-your interest in justice
is slight. And peace without justice
is tyranny, no matter how you may
sugar coat it with expediency. This
state today is in more danger from
suppression than from violence, be-.
cause in the end suppression leads to
violence. Violence, indeed, is the child
OF suppression. Whoever pleads for
justice helps to keep the peace; and
whoever tramples upon the plea for
justice, temporarily made in the name
of peace, only outrages peace and kills
something fine in the heart of man
which God put there when we got our
manhood. When that:is killed, brute
meets brute on each side of the line.
So, dear friend, put fear out Of
your heart. This nation will survive,
this state will prosper, the orderly
business of life will go forward if
only men can speak in whatever way
given them to utter what their hearts
hobby voice, by posted card, by
letter or by press. Reason never has
failed men. Only force and repres:
sion have made the wrecks in the
| world.-William Allen White in the
Emporia (Kans.)s Gazette.

INDIAN VISITORS

Clark Timer and his squaw Fannie
and their daughter Della from
White Rocks, near Ft. Duchesne on
the Ute Indian reservation, in north
eastern Utah, came to the Fort Hall
Indian agency to visit friends and
relatives and to attend the sun
dance last week
They found the sun dance we'll
under way when they arrived, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Timer joined the band
and the singers and continued thru
out the night until the close of the
dance.
The Timer family visited The Re-
publican office and reported their
pleasure and satisfaction over their
visit and said they had been we'll en-
tertained. At the close of the sun
dance they rested and played cards
ard Joined in the big feed on the
banks of Snake river. There was
bread and roast beef in plenty,
camas root, canned fruit, pie, water
melons, ice cream and other good
things. The Indians made up a
purse among themselves and by
charging admission to the area
about the sun dance, and this money
was used to buy the foods.
They met some of their relatives
and Mrs. Timers uncle, Lieutenant
by name, is now on his way to White
Rocks for a visit. They took
couple of orders for ear rings and
sent back to Tecumsa Tybee at
White Rocks to get the goods, pay
ing for them in beaded gloves.
The Timers came to Fl. Hall by
train, but are planning to remain
until about August II and then
start back on horses, following the
trail of their. fathers, and looking
once more on the scenes that were
familiar to them when trout were
easier to get in the streams and
when there were no fences across
the paths leading to the choice
camping grounds.

and the supply Of loose leaves will
last several years.
The increased cost of handling the
office in 1921 over that of 1920
under her predecessor was $1994.70
according to the auditors books, and
the new equipment cost $1S46 OF
that amount. OF course every ad-
ministration has to buy some sup
plies, and II Mrs. Ward had not in
stalled these things of permanent
value she would have had to buy
several books not required when US
ing the machine and other things
now in use there.
Two years ago people were criti-
cising Mr.. Benson for having too
much expense, his operating costs
having risen $1207.3O over the year
before, and now they have risen
$148.70 over Mr.. Benson's last year
plus the cost of the new equipment,
The cost Of administration seems to
be rising in all departments Of the
county government, as we have
shown from time to time, and a mis-
take that people are most likely to
make Is to suppose that the officer
and assistants get this extra money.
It goes for merchandise of various
kinds which they have to use in
their work.
In Mrs. Wards office she started
with one deputy at 1925 a month,
and girl assistant at $50 a month.
and for one year she continued so.
1t was not satisfactory to her and
by the time the wear was out she
became convinced that she could
take the place of the bookkeeper
and keep better records than he was
doing. and she made the change,
employing two girls at 500 each
and thereby cutting the total salary

Regarding the
Office Of Bingham
County Treasurer

There has been considerable talk
about the affairs Of. the county
treasurer's office, and people who
have heard conflicting reports, and
those who have heard reports that
were without foundation or that
were incorrect, would probably like
to have the facts, and this paper in
vestigated and has the following to
say:
The disturbing talk referred to is
to the effect that 1t has cost more to
conduct the work of the office dur
ing this administration than it did
for the preceding year while Mr..
Benson was treasurer, and that is
true. It cost more for Mr.. Benson
to administer the office in the last
year of his term than it did the year
before.
In 1919 it cost $5500.72 for Mr..
Benson's salary, assistants and ma
terials used in the office. In 1920
1t cost him $6708.02. In 1921 it
cost $S702.72 under Mrs. Wards
management, and that included
$1846 worth of equipment of more
or less permanent and lasting value.
Under the old system Of book
keeping the treasurer could not or
at least did not make his reports
promptly after the closing date for
receiving taxes. It required two or
three weeks to get the report made
and the money released for use by
the auditors office, and that held
up business and delayed payments.
Under Mrs. Wards administration
there was installed posting ma
chine and new set Of books to corre-
spond with it. and they are now able
to keep everything posted up to the
hour, so that they can know at all
times the precise condition Of the
treasury and of every account in it,
including the school districts thru
out the county, and this Is consid-
cred quite an advantage. In short,
the county treasury does business
now just like the banks, in that they
balance their books every evening
before closing and every morning
have clean start. When the state
examiner, c. c. Thompson, was here
to audit Mrs. Wards books about
three or four weeks ago he re-
marked about the good system, its
simplicity and direct balances al
ways ready for reference. Mrs.
Ward informs us that when the
monthly and quarterly reports are
made by her office they are made
on the day or two following the close
of the business reported, and that
this has usually required two weeks
or more under the old system.
The new equipment we spoke of
in this article consists of one post
ing machine that cost $3.50; loose
leaf supplies for use in it and the
ledger, enough to last two or three
years yet, $105; binders for the
same system, $360.70. The machine
and the binders are permanent
fixtures that will last a long time,

Mccormick Operation
Yelled in Secrecy;
Patient Rests We'll

CHICAGO, June 17.-By the AS
ISOLATED Press.(-Mystery tonight
yelled the exact nature of an opera
ton performed on Harold F. Nc
Cormick, chairman Of the executive
committee Of the International Har-
vester company, Monday night, the
news of which did not become pub
| lie until today.
At the Wesley Memorial hospital
| it was at first denied that Mr.. Nc
Cormick was a patient there, al
though it was later admitted that
he occupied an entire wing, which
had been walled off from the rest
of the institution to insure his pri-
vacy.
The operation was performed by
DR.. Victor D. Lespinasse, widely
known surgeon, who figured some
time ago in a controversy with DR..
Voronoff, Of Paris, on the proper
manner of transferring animal
glands to humans, branch of sur
gerry in which he was said to be well
versed. After having been ques-
toned by newspaper men regarding
the operation on Mr.. Mccormick,
DR.. Lespinasse issued the following
statement:
Harold F. Mccormick is a pa
tient in the Wesley Memorial hos
pital under my care. He has been
in the hospital some time and has
undergone a minor operation. He
was here principally for rest, both
mental and physical"
DR.. Lespinasse, members of the
e,tn of
family refused to discuss widely
published statements that Mr.. Nc
Cormick had been the subject of a
transportation of glands with the
object of obtaining an extension OF
his years of youth.
Mr.. Mccormick, sitting up in bed,
received several: reporters. In an
swer to questions, he said that he
was feeling fine" but when asked
directly regarding the nature of the
operation, he declared:
: on, mig inadire at~the desk,sS,
and added that he had no statement
to make.
DR.. Lespinasse first denied his
identity and then refused to discuss
the nature of the Mccormick opera
ton. He did. however, tell of his
experiments with the transplanta-
ton of glands.
The surgeon asserted that he had
known about the transplanting Of
monkey glands long before DR.. Vor-
onoff. He asserted he had now dis
carded this and operated with hui
man glands. He said he had been
interested in this work, the object
of which is the regeneration Of hui
man beings, for the past fifteen
years.
Mr.. Mccormick is fifty-one years
old and has recently occupied much
space in the newspapers. Some
months ago he was divorced by his
wife, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCor-
mick, daughter OF John d. Rookie
teller, on the grounds of desertion.
Rumors that he might re-wed have
been frequent since his divorce, one
Of the names most frequently print
ed in this connection being that of
Nine. Gamma Walska, Polish opera
singer, whose divorce from AleXan.
der Smith Cochran, wealthy New
Yorker, was recently announced. Mr..
Mccormick has repeatedly refused
to comment on reports coupling his
name with that of Nine. Walska.

AGREEMENT REACHED.
ON SIZE Of US. ARMY

WASHINGTON, June 17.-House
and senate conferees on the army
appropriation bill reached a COM
promise late today on an army of
125,000 enlisted men for the next
twelve months. This represents a
reduction of 5000 from the senate
figure and an increase of 10000 over
the size of the army fixed by the
house.
The house delegation refused to
accept the senate provision, fixing
a maximum authorization of an
army of 100000 enlisted men, az
we'll as the item appropriating pay
for $4,000, as passed by the SEN
ate. They are said to have stood
solidly against any provision which
would have permitted a personnel OF
more than 125, 900. War department
representatives declared repeatedly
in hearings on the bill that to re-
duce the present authorized
strength of 100000 was unsafe.
Decision as to the conference re-
port on the enlisted strength leaves
only two important sections of the
supply bill to be considered, eXclu.
sive of the Muscle Shoals amend
ment appropriating $500 900 for a
continuation of work on the federal
power project in the Tennessee riv-
er. 1t already has been agreed by
the conference committees that the
question should be submitted direct
to the house because of the contro-
versial character of the subject in
volved. Chairman Wadsworth, OF
the senate military committee, said
that only the items dealing with the
officer strength and the national
guard provisions remain to be de-
termined.
It was expected that reduction
from the number of officers fixed
by the senate would follow
the compromise as to en-
listed personnel. The house
fixed a maximum of II 900 as the
number of officers, while the SEN
ate amendment put the officer
strength at an average OF 1880 for
the coming wear

STRIKE PLANS READY,
LABOR CHIEFS SAY

CINCINNATI, o., June 17.-By
the Associated Press. )-Withdraw
Of wage reductions ordered by the
railroad labor board and the taking
back by railroads of contracts farm
ing out shop work only can avert
the threatened strike of approx
mately 100000 workers on July 1,
rail union executives said tonight.
The leaders declared complete
strike plans have been approved.
The triple-barrelled strike vote of
seven unions so far returned was
announced by union leaders as being
50 per cent in favor Of a Walkout.
However, leaders said they did not
expect the final vote to reach more
than 95 per cent.
Tuesday the rail and miners union
officials will meet to discuss Co
operative actions" between members
Of these organizations. John L.
Lewis, president of the miners, for
mally announced today that the
meeting would discuss "the indus
trial situation affecting the strike of
organized mire workers and the
outrageous action Of the railroad
labor board in imposing unwarrant-
able and unjustifiable reductions
upon the railway employees"
1t was announced tonight that E.
F. Cradle, president of the mainte-
nance Of way employees, who cannot
enter Ohio without fear Of being
served with subpoenas in injunction
proceedings against his union now
pending in the United States district
court at Toledo, is in Covington,
KY, across the river from Cincin-
natl.
Mr.. Cradle in a statement an
nounced his position as a concrete
demonstration of the intolerable con-
ditions imposed by the courts upon
those who are charged with the
leadership Of labor organizations and
with the safeguarding of human
rights as against property inter-
eSts."
The application for reinstatement
into the American Federation of La
Dor is pending and will be acted on
at the present convention. The
maintenance of way union withdrew
from the federation during a con-
troversy with the carpenters over a
jurisdictional dispute.
