IDAHO ENGINE NEEDS STEAM.
By GUY FLENNER

When coal is left smouldering in the
furnace its fuel value is lost to a
great extent. 1t goes up in smoke.
When the auto discharges lot of
black smoke the engine is not getting
the fullest efficiency possible from
the gas.
Idaho has chucked lot of coal into
the furnace and left it smouldering
without producing results-while the
firemen slept. The machine Of state
even today is letting lots Of it's gas
oline 60 to waste while some back
fire over non-essentials.
Idaho needs steam and power It
ought to use all the fuel

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 14.-So compar-
|atively few people have a correct un-
derstanding of the Idaho silver situ-
alton, and of silver as to it's national
aspects, that the remarks of Senator
Callahan anent the silver memorial
| to congress, will prove instructive.
He reviewed the situation as to sill
yer and showed that during the war
the allies would have had to pay S1.50
or more an ounce for silver if con-
gress had not fixed the price at 81
an ounce. For several months more
this price will prevail-until the Unit
ed States replaces silver sold to the
allies and discontinues purchasing.
But for that act of our government,
he said, silver miners would have en-
joyed much higher price. The
speaker gave the average price Of
silver for II years up to 1917 inclu-
sive, as O.5995 an ounce.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1922, the silver coin in circulation
amounted to $652,2S5, ,29O and the cost
of silver to the government had been
so low it bave seignorage, or pro-
fit, in favor of the government of
s342,632,754.
Senator Callahan said there was
nothing unreasonable in the request
of the silver producers, as outlined
in the memorial, and that without
remedial legislation they could not
continue to produce their metal at a |
profit
"The metal producer, like the far
mer, must take what he can get after |
he has taken all the chances and run I
all the risks incident to metal pro-
duction, the most precarious business
In the world" he concluded.

The other day in the state senate
one of the members, Senator Crooks,
in few words emphasized one OF
the reasons the draft was not draw
ing, the pressure low and the car
slowly moving-and that was the per-
sistent and pestiferous efforts to har-
rass all lines of business: He said
it was mighty poor time, with the
skies just beginning to clear, to send
clouds sweeping around any Idaho
business.
Why any man interested in the fu-
ture of this state, or, to put it sell
fishly, in his own future as citizen
of Idaho, should be SO shortsighted
as to place stumbling blocks in the
pathway of our own Industrial and
commercial progress is situation
that is battling to the inquiring mind.

If any man cannot rise above the
petty thoughts that beset his brain
to assist our industries, he might at
least have the good taste to get back
among the huskings Of depression and
adversely and restrain himself from
injuring them-fOr his own sake il he
is not big enough to look higher.
Right today there is the most pres
sing need for the extension Of all
reasonable aid to our agriculture, to
our timber, our mining, our livestock
interests, to our public utilities and
to every banking and mercantile in
stitution. They-the vitals of Idaho
need all the fuel they can get. Let's
not waste it on carping and obstruc-
tion and destruction.

The Mixers.

So many things are going on at
the Capital in this gay season that
the milking match between Magnus
Johnson, senator from Minnesota, and
Henry Wallace, Secretary of Agri-
culture, held in cow barn at Sol
diers' Home, was not largely attended
by the public. 1t would have been
instructive. to many of our people
who believe that milk comes from
tin cans and glass jars, who have
no acquaintance with cows and no
understanding Of the relation between
cows and milk. 1t would have been
instructive to see two men turn from
the perplexities of state and lay to
at the job Of pumping milk from
cows. Minnesota, an important COW
state, will regret that Senator John
son was beaten by a pint by man
from Iowa who. supports the admin.
istration. In parts Of Minnesota It
is supposed that a man who supports
the administration must be without
any of the agricultural virtues. The
Minnesotan challenged the Iowan,
and IN the published accounts are
reliable it would appear that the
held the Secretary of Agri.
culture in light regard as professor
in the art Of milh1E cows. But tn

The New British Ambassador.

When a few months ago Sir Auck-
land Geddes, British ambassador to
the United States, developed a disease
of the eyes which gravely impaired
his vision and menaced him with total
blindness, the hope was felt and ex-
pressed that he would quickly recover
and be epabled to resume his diplo-
matte duties at this Capital, where he
has proved to be a most efficient and
satisfactory representative. Now it is
announced that, although much
improved, he is relinquishing his post
definitely, and almost simultaneously
comes word that his successor has
been named.
Sir Esme Howard. whom King
George has commissioned to succeed
Sir Auckland Geddes, is a diplomatist
of wide experience. He will come to
Washington from Madrid. where he is
now stationed. With a long record Of
service in the corps, and with intimate
acquaintance with the questions
pending between nations, he will
without doubt quickly adapt himself
to this post, one Of the greatest i'm
portance in the British diplomatic
range.
1t is interesting to note that Sir
Esme Howard went to Sweden as am
bassador as successor to Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, former ambassador at
Washington He now comes to Wash
ington but one degree removed from
him. At Stockholm he was faced with
a delicate task. 1t is attributed large
ly to him that Sweden remained neu-
trail during the great war. Had that
government joined the central powers,
as it was strongly pressed to do, a
most difficult condition would have
developed, giving the allies grave en-
barrassment.
Sir Auckland Geddes, who is return
ing to close up his work in Washing
ton to prepare for his successor, made
for himself a warm place in the affec-
tions Of the American people. and par
ticularly those of the Capital. The
misfortune that cut short his career
is cause of deep regret. The good will
that he won here will be extended to
his successor.

Science Slowly Gains
Fight Against Death

We can hardly hope to eliminate
death. but we are steadily barring
him from the cradle and from youth.
According to human experience he
has his rights in age, but it is to the
exercise of those rights that civiliza-
ton would confine him. Death Is an
interloper, a thief, a usurper, when
he comes among the young and i'm
mature.
Last year the death rate for the
registration area was Ills per 1000,
not quite so good as for the year
before, but sim representing a tre-
mendous gain over past years. even
If reduced to the last half century.
In 1913, for instance, the rate was
1871.
We have a right to be proud of
this achievement, because 1t repre-
sents something real, something that
brings the democracy of science home
to the millions.

Trained Men Needed
To Manage Schools

A trained man or woman for each
specialized task is becoming an ac-
cepted fact. We expect scientific
methods to be used on a job that
calls for specialist. We don't put
a criminal lawyer on the job of tun-
neling a mountain, nor attempt to
solve knotty legal tangle with the
best brains of Cow college,
Yet there are times and places
when we employ just about such
methods in our school administration,
the most important business in our
system of government. Too often
our schools and our universities are
governed almost entirely by doctor,
lawyer, merchant, chief, with but
little heed given to the advice of the
trained educator. Not very inte1li-
gent. We need the splendid work of
those business men on these boards,
but we need also the specialist in
education.
The American Association of Uni
versity Professors, meeting in CO.
Iumbus, Ohio, has voiced a. protest
to this system Of administration and
is going to demand voice in the
government of the institutions in
which they teach. Why not? If they
know their jobs we'll enough to be
teaching in the institution, their
opinions are worth something in the
council chambers where matters per-
tanning to their teaching are weighed

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Edward w. Bok's 100000 peace
plan prize may be divided among a
group of washingtonians who pooled
their ideas and submitted a joint
scheme. This syndicated attempt to
win the competition Is the only secret
that has leaked out from the council
chamber Of the jury of award, headed
by Elihu Root. The identity Of the
Washington best minds" remains a
mystery. 1t is only known that they
are persons who specialize in the
study Of international relations. The
award jury is reported to be deeply
impressed by the Washington plan,
which was brought to New York on
November Is, in the closing hours of
the competition. 1t provides for ap-
plication to all international contro-
versies of the principles of the per-
manent International Joint Commission,
SO long and successfully maintained by
the United States and Canada.
Now and then you will hear the
prediction ventured that President
Coolidge VIII not veto a bonus bill IL
Congress passe ! ill.,; Authorities who
FISK such a prophecy say that Mr..
SOohuSo Souiu justify signing or the
bill on the ground that the sovereign
voice OF the people. as represented by
Congress, had spok EN- in its favor. He
could argue that he had opposed such
legislation and Jstill considered it in
ADVISABLE, but did not arrogate to
himself the right to override 1.-The

an eye to 1924 who conjure up such
an attitude on the Presidents part.
Republicans who think they know
him better say 1t would be a contra
diction of Calvin Coolidge's whole po-
litical make-up and is. therefore, in

One of the foremost political myths
OF the season has just been exploded
by George e. Brennan of Chicago,
the astute democratic boss of Illi-
nois. Early in December the story
was sent broadcast from French Lick
Springs that, Brennan, Murphy and

Help the Veterans!

President Coolidge's letter to julius
Barnes, president Of the Chamber Of
Commerce of, the United States, in
voking the aid Of that organization in
placing in employment rehabihtated
men and women who were wounded in
the world war, is calculated to attract
widespread attention to a most i'm
portant- subject. President Coolidge
pointed out that while $4,000 men and
women have been returned to work
through the efforts OF the Veterans
Bureau, 10000 are still in training,
and when released must be furnished
places suitable for their abilities.
The Veterans Bureau, during the
past few months, has carried on a
campaign with the object Of securing
the cooperation of important private
industrial establishments in the
United States and interesting them in
the problem of employing these men
and women. Governors of states and
mayors of large cities have issued
proclamations urging the favorable
consideration of employers in the mat
ter of employment Of disabled vet
Grams.
There is still much to be done, how
ever, President Coolidge says, and he
feels it incumbent upon him in the in
terest of these men to emphasize the
subject. The President suggests that
the Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States create a permanent COM
mittee which will act in solving this
problem of employment OF disabled
veterans. The Veterans Bureau in
Washington will cooperate with the
committee in every way needful.
Every man and woman in the land
sympathizes with the wounded vet
Grams who are being brought back to
health and usefulness by the govern
ment and through the generous ap-
propriations ungrudgingly made by
Congress. President Coolidge suggests
the coordination of this sympathy
with practical efforts to make it ef-
fective and offers a plan The coun-
try will respond.

tion be taken from the board and placed
under an agency with g single 70
sponsible head. III the opinion OF Sena-
tor Jones, the agency is ready to the
hand, the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton. He says the Fleet Corporation
can be divorced from the Shipping
Board and placed in control without
legislation. But this is doubtful, cer-
tainly If the divorcefnent is to be per-
manent A President might call the
board before him and inform its mem
bers that he wishes this action taken,
or that he would get board that
would regard his wishes in the matter.
A President. however. may go out Of
Office and his policies be changed by
his successor.
In his recommendations regarding
operation of the vessels and the con-
struction of new tonnage Senator
Jones has paralleled to a considerable
degree recommendations submitted by
Chairman Edward P. Farley of the
Shipping Board, whe is about to re-
tire from office because the Senate
commerce committee has held him
geographically ineligible for member
ship on the board. Chairman Farley,
however, has recommended legislation
Corporation, and has gone a step
further. proposing the establishment
of subsidiary corporations for the more
efficient operation of the vessels on
various parts of the coast and to
enable the government the more
readily to dispose of its established
lines to private American owners
when the time comes that American
flag vessels can compete on an equal
basis with those of other maritime ma
tions.
Unless new tonnage is added to the
government merchant fleet eventually
the fleet will disappear. Some kind of
a building program is essential. Speed
ier and more efficient and economical
types Of vessels than those construct
ed for the war emergency must be
constructed. The British and the Ger
mans are today building such vessels.
President Coolidge in his annual ad-
dress to Congress stressed the need Of
maintaining a merchant marine for
national defense and for the benefit Of
american commerce. Under existing
conditions the overseas merchant ma
rine for the most part must be main
tanned and operated by the govern
ment. And while the government oper-
ates the vessels it must, in justice to
the people, operate them as efficiently
and as economically as possible.

that was proffered to him was that of
Finland after the former grandduchy
