Possible Aid
for So. Idaho
Addison T. Smith Introduces Bill
To Aid Exploration for
Artesian Water In
Southern idaho

That Uncle Sam should help fl
nance the development OF artesian
water to reclaim the arid lands OF
southern Idaho, is the opinion of w
II West of Churchill. Accordingly
he took the matter up with Hon. Ad-
olson T. Smith, our representative
III Congress. Some encouraging
news has come from Representative
Smith. Below is copy of a letter
Just received from Washington.
ID. c.
Washington, ID. c.,
April 80. 1924.
Mr.. w. H. West,
Churchill. Idaho.
Dear Mr.. West
acknowledging yours of the
twenty-sixth, I beg to say that
I will be pleased TO introduce a
bill along the lines OF your sug-
been made to have artesian
wells sunk with a view of dis
covering artesian water to irri-
gate the arid lands of southern
Idaho, without success. Possi-
bly, you have suggested the So
luton of the problem.
Sincerely yours,
ADDISON T. SMITH.
Following is a copy of bill pre-
sented to congress, May I, 1924, by
Representative Smith. The copy
was sent TO Mr.. West by Mr. Smith:
"A bill granting to the State of
Idaho two hundred thousand acres
Of land in the said State.
"Be it enacted by the Senate and
the House of Representatives of the
United States of America, in cong
ress assembled. That there be, and
are hereby, granted to the State of
Idaho, two hundred thousand acres
of unreserved, non-mineras survey
ed public lands in the said state,
which shall be used, held and dis
posed of by sale or lease, and the
proceeds used for exploring for arte-
sian water by the sinking of wells
for irrigation of arid lands and CO.
operating with the U. s. Reclama-
ton service in developing a water
supply for irrigation purposes"
1t is to be hoped that help may
be found for this industry. Addison
J. Smith is well acquainted with the
needs of southern Idaho and, as
chairman OF the reclamation COM
nittee, no doubt will turn his large
abilities to good account in serving
lis district.

DEMOCRATS LACK LEADERSHIP
SAYS NEWARK EVENING NEWS.

NEWARK, N. J., July S.-Commeft
ing editorially in Issue Of june 26th,
the Newark Evening News says, under
the caption of, "Mr. Wilson's Ideas
Without His Personality"
"The Wilson ideas may get an airing
in the Democratic convention, but 1t
will be wohout the Wilson personality
the Wilson vision, and the Wilson
faith. A mans ideas, II they amount
to anything, are his own. Great meh
move resolutions; smaller men second
them. A Cleveland Roosevelt, VIII
son stands apart because he has the
courage and initiative to mark out a
course for himself instead Of following
the path another has blazed. The world
accepts large ideas only from those in
whose presence Is authority. 1t took a
Moses to transmit the commandments,
a Lycurgus to give the Spartans their
laws, a Luther to nail his thesis to the
church door at Wittenberg.
The Democratic convention may
benefit itself by show Of loyalty to
the Wilson ideas, but 1t cannot put
heat or light or life into those ideas.
They have been planted In richer soil
Of broader field. They are being nur
t,lred by nations not by parties or in
divlduals. Their roots are in the heart
of the world"

Help us to get new hospital. TO

call their own which can only accom-
modate 25 patients. No, no, no, we
will not stand for this but will come
together as loving race should DO
and give our little mites to either re.
build or purchase another site. Ii
every colored person in the city OF
Richmond would give $500 apiece VIC
could erect a magnificent hospital
which would be credit to our race.

heart will give willingly. Remember
the beautiful words of our Lord. He
said: at is more blessed to give than

give willingly. They have buttons to
sell at dollar each for adults and
twenty-five cents each for children.
They have cards which hold ten dollars
each and also votes which are being
sold by the agents at fifteen cents
each.
Let US give to everyone who comes
to us in the behalf of the Sarah @.
Jones Memorial Hospital. Look at the
good that she has done in the past and
that she is doing in the present. You
can purchase your button at any of the
doctors or ministers in our city. We
are asking that you will purchase a

that you may advertise the campaign.
We ask especially that the clubs and
organizations in the city will please
send a donation at once and special
pledge to help put the proposition
over.
When this hospital is completed we
can say that it is a colored hospital
and not a white hospital that takes col
ored patients. We have the most won
derful Endorsements that any colored
