INDEPENDENT IN POLITICS
FRIDAY, JUNE l, 1923
WATCH AND SEE.

Word comes from Boise that
u. S. Senator William E. Borah
will soon return to that city
from the national capital to
spend the summer in Idaho and
there will no doubt be a lively
skirmish during the next few
months between the republican
machine of the state and our
senior senator. Already the
bought and paid for" press of
the state has begun hurting YER
bal bombs in the senator's direc-
ton in an attempt to discredit
him in the eyes of the public
and belittle his efforts at the
national capital. We predict
the machine has a real job on its
hands this time. Senator Borah
is too big a man to lose the es-
TEEN of the voters of Idaho over
night. He has been a national
figure in the senate for years
known throughout the land fol
his ability as an orator and q
thinker and for his stamina as 9
man who would not truckle tt
the behests of "big interests. >
Had he so desired he could nc
doubt have been drawing down
an enormous salary from some
of the large corporations of the
country for many years past, but
he could not be bought nor con
trolled, hence the effort of The
machine" to do away with
Idaho's primary law two years
ago and hand it to the senator
at the next election. And why
this sudden change? The wri
ter can well remember some
eight or ten years ago when thu
republican party rested it's sol
campaign argument on the on,
issue of returning Senator
Borah to office" But times
change, and friendships with it
Senator Borah is now in bat
grace with the republican
machine, both state and nation
and is slated to take the side
track. However, the machine
does not control the free vote O.
the citizens of Idaho and Mr.
Borah will be returned again t.
office, whether his name graces
the republican ticket or some
other. Watch and see.

DR.. S. B. L. Penrose, president
of Whitman college at Walla
Walla, has accepted a challenge
issued by Rev. Bert A. Powell,
secretary of the local Ku. Klux
Khan to debate on the question
of the klan's Americanism and
will make public his arguments
through the press, stating in
part:
Il accept your challenge but
to defend my statement, not to
attack the Ku Mux Khan. l am
eager to help the people distin-
guish true Americanism from
false and as have already adj
dressed the people Of Spokane,
Seattle and Walla Walla on the
subject | wish to defend my po-
sition before them all.
The arguments of DR.. Penrose
will be read with interest by the
public generally and we opine
many will have reason to revise
their opinion Of what constitutes
real Americanism by the time
the debate closes.

WOMAN STARTED SOME
THING.

The Virginia woman who
pinned a note to a potato she had
raised, reading: II got "a cents
a bushel. What did you give?"
started something, because the
man who noticed the potato paid
$1.20 a bushel, and the facts
leaked out. Trust a woman to
find an ingenious way to. bring
oppression to public notice. Also,
happily, trust the American man
to change conditions when they
assail the welfare of our woman
hood.
One of these days we will
bring into being a real commits
sion of inquiry, one with vision,
one with practical business
sense, one with sound economic
knowledge and finally one with
out self-interest and free from
pull. An impossible combina-
ton? No, some day it will be
found, and then a happier condi-
ton will arise as rapidly as the
bloodsuckers who live on the
labor of their fellows fall by the
wayside. Middlemen are nee
essary, of course, due to the
great complexities of our mod
ern civilization, but in the last
twenty years the @nsumer has
been removed so gar from the
producer that theyhave nQshing
in common. q
Every day the Strain is get
ting harder and harder to bear,
and it will get worse before it
gets better. Nature brings
about mans advance by. the lash
One day, however, wekWil i'm
plant in the minds of d1rshigh
school boys and girls a love for
economies - perhaps under a
more attractive name example.
Then will arrive a generation
that will not be fooled by the ex,
ploiters of Nampa
Leader Herald.

bicycle journey Of two ex-sol-
diers to the battlefields of
France. Recently there was an
article which had to do with the
silent rear guard" that remains
where the crosses are. There
are something more than thirty
thousand who have been left
over there to keep this watch.
A paragraph or two made ref
erence to the arrived at this
bivouac of a little old man:
'f1e was not well dressed, he
had no overcoat, and he shivered
a bit as he looked around him,
uncertain what to do. The chap
lain saw him first, and, going
out, asked what he could do for
him. The old man, in a tremu-
lous voice, said, I came-I
came-my boy-can l see where
he is buried?"
"The chaplain removed the
heavy army overcoat that he was
wearing and, wrapping it about
the little old man, went with him
up the hill. | looked up there
later, and saw the two kneeling
in the wet grass by the side of
the grave. The old father had
brought a little silk flag with
him, and this he placed by the
cross. Then he trudged back
down the hill.
"He had been saving his
money for four years to make
this trip. When he returned
home he was comforted to some
extent. The next day the little
silk flag was wet with the rain,
and the colors had run into each
other, but yet it was a precious
thing as it fluttered in the wind
among the crosses"
1t is a simple story, simply
told. And yet it reminds us of
a part of what Memorial day
means. Lewiston Tribune.
