A NUISANCE ABATED

In the departure with a state prison
guard of Lem Binnion, there has gone
from Idaho county to the state peni-
Tertiary man who for several years
has lived in Grangeville in open de-
fiance of the law. In fact, he is
reported to have frequently boosted
of his ability to violate society's pre-
scribed rules for human conduct, and
to avoid apprehension and punishment
for the course that he pursued.
Officers have experienced much diff
fculty in trapping Blnnion in a po-
sition where successful prosecution of
the man would be possible, but at
last have succeeded, and he now is
on the way to the state prison, to
serve term of from fifteen to thirty
five years for one of the crimes he has
committed.
The sentence pronounced on the man
by Judge W. f. McNaughton, in dis
trict court, has met with general ap-
proval of people in Grangeville, who
are familiar with BInnion's conduct, |
and il is hoped that a chicken-hearted |
state board of pardons does not, with
In a few years, liberare rne prisoner.
Conviction of Binnion, and the pen
atty imposed, is proof that the law
still reigns supreme in the land The
crimes that he has committed are hei-
nous and revolving, and should not
be treated lightly.

WHAT WEEK is NEXT
WEEK?

Gov. G. G. Moore, acting in accord
with a proclamation issued by the
president of the United States, has
designated the week of November is
to "a American Education week.
We have this kind of week and
that kind of week, set aside by official
designation, for concentration of effort
in this cause or that cause. We have
so many of these special weeks that
one finds it impossible to remember the
names of all of them, leave alone aid
ing in the special work laid out for
the public good.
1t seems that, if our officials would
quit designating large variety of
special weeks, ami instead set apart
a "Go to Work Week." and make
t applicable for flfty-two weeks of
he year, a most useful purpose could
Ne accomplished. Bot, Of course,
public cooperation
hould be a paramount requirement.

SURFACE THE ROAD

Plan for surfacing the North ant
South highway from the top of White
bird hill toward the town of White
bird is a most worthy one, and should
take definite form at the earliest pos
sible moment. While surfacing of the
road will be expensive, the federal
government has given assurance that
it will cooperate in the work, and
thus reduce the expense that must
necessarily be borne locally.
Those who have Travelled the road
at various times of the year appre-
ciate the need for the improvement
In the spring, particularly, the high
way ON the hill is deep with mud,
and travel over it is accomplished only
with much difficulty. Upkeep, also,
is possible only at a heavy cost, and
for a while, during the last spring,
maintenance of this stretch of road
was absolutely neglected.
The investment in the North and
South highway is extremely heavy
far too large to permit the highway
to deteriorate, or to be rendered of
little value during a portion of the
year, by reason of soil conditions. 1t
is expedient to continue the work I'M
til a hard-surfaced roadbed is provid-
ed the entire distance to Whitebird.
Maximum value of the new highway
will never be reached until a salts
factory surfacing is applied The high
way should be made a year-around
road for the people of the Salmon
river country, as it is their only means ,
Of reaching what in western vernacu-
ar is termed "the outside"

LET BRANDON NAME THEM

Although the desire to replace the present highway commission with a smaller body of three men is based on the hope that this choice will be gov erned by considerations of their busi- ness fitness rather than for political reasons, the plan adopted by the sem ate for choosing these men is certain in part to nullify this desire. As ap- proved by the senate, the governor is supposed to nominate nine men, of whom the legislature will select three to administer the affairs of the high way department.
 Aside from the unnecessarily cum bersome and awkward procedure in- volved in this plan, one may we'll in- quire whether the governor can so easily discover nine men, of the ca pacity, experience, freedom from po- litical entanglements, and ability, who will be able to give up their present occupations to take over this great

IRELAND JOINS THE LEAGUE

The dignity of the Irish Free State is heightened and emphasized by it's reception as a member of the League of Nations. Ireland made long struggle for independence, struggle that was greatly prolonged by internal dissensions and sudden shifts of policy. Undoubtedly Ireland would have won practical autonomy many decades earlier had there been both reason and moderation in the methods of the patriots. Now, however, the saner ele- ments appears to be entrenched in au- thorfty, and Ireland is progressing daily and visibly in domestic develop ment and in favor with all nations.
 It is characteristic of the sporting instinct of the British that the British delegates in the league should have risen and cheered as heartily as any others when the Irish delegates filed the British haven't nearly so much to forgive as the Irish, but their attitude is nevertheless to be commended. The League of Nations has lately strength ened it's hold upon the sentiment, imagination and respect of the whole world. When it seemed for a few days that Italy would successfully flout the leagues authority, the re- gret was universal and genuine, When later the pressure of worldwide public opinion obliged Italy to modify her attitude, the relief was profound. There are many who believe that the moral effect of successive cases of Obedience to league authority will form stronger bulwark to league Jurisdiction in controversial situations than fleet and an army. The fact that Ireland has deemed membership in the league as necessary part of her national program and policy re- veals how dee ply rooted the league appeal has already become.

enterprise. The people of Alabama are not forgetting that the project calls for the expenditure and adminis- tration of fifty million dollars, to say nothing of the millions upon millions of state prosperity directly tied up with the highway program. If the gov ernor can select three men of suitable capacity for this great achievement, he will be doing well.
 Why does Governor Brandon seek to escape the responsibility for this com mission? Has he, as has been charged, already committed himself to so many applicants that he cannot make the choice of a smaller number without tripping over his own promises? The people would reply that those who are seeking the job are in all probability the very ones who should not have it. Let the job seek the man, and let the choice fall upon only those whose sheer merits endows them with the qualifi- cations for the undertaking. Cannot Governor Brandon find three men who measure up to the requirements? He can find three more easily than nine 1!
 It is hoped that the choice will be left to the governor, so that the people may fix the responsibility upon him alone. Also, so that the choice may be free from the multiplex political influences that surge among the leg islators. The governor is the logical person to make the choice. Let him make it, and stand or fall by the re- suits.
