Machine Made

Talk about machine politics. Tall
about dictation that any other poiti-
cal party could not countenance be-
cause the public wouldn't let it. Talk
about high handed political autocracy
Reading Sheriff Mason and Mrs.
Bernard out OF the Progressive party
in Canyon county, so far as organ
lied support is concerned, is the most
glaring example OF machine made and
dictated politics that has been shown
IN Canyon county is many years. The
Tribune has no recollection OF any
thing quite so autocratic in all the
varied political history Of this county
And where is The Free Press
Doesn't that spokesman OF the people
know what is going on, Doesn't The
Free Press want the rank and file of
the Progressive party to know that
canyon county is bossed as truly as
any American commonwealth, as any
political party was ever bossed?
The Free Press does know. For
Free Press representative was the
only newspaper reporter permitted 10
attend the meeting OF the central COM
mittee here Saturday. And yet The
Free Press has chosen to ignore the
entire matter-or had so chosen when
1t was freely circulated by other and
more honest newspapers.
How long do Progressive leaders
believe that citizens of Canyon county
are going to tolerate that sort OF ma
chine politics,

peatedly remarked that the bgges,

those who are dissatisfied with Demo-

methods is the virtual impossibiIi,y Of

Mr.. Wright Writes

The Tribune enjoys and frequent,
publishes letters from ]. b. Wright
former Caldwell citizen. who nov
lives at Portland. Sometimes We
can't agree with Mr.. Wright. His
letter in The Tribune today brings
up a question that cannot pass with
out comment.
To make the discussion clear it is
probably necessary to draw the dis
tinction once more between "democ-
racy" and republic. Abraham Lin
coin reduced the description of democ-
racy to a few words when he said
that "A democracy is government by
the people. OF the people and for the
people" The encyclopedia Americana
defines a republic as a state in which
the people are the source of power.
There is the distinction. In pure
democracies, citizens govern them
selves. In republic. government rs
administered by representatives of the
people.
Perhaps the most unfortunate fac
tor in consideration OF the American
constitution is the repeated reference
Woodrow Wilson made to "democ-
racy". The constitution Of the United
States was never written with the
idea of creating a pure democracy in
this country. The pages of history
are black bordcrcd for countries where
it has been tried. The inevitable re-
suit of democracy rs mobocracy and
chaos.
Mr.. Wright accurately quotes the
tenth amendment to the constitution,
the final article OF a series of 10 which
specifically protect the individual. Mr..
Wright misconstrues it. To be sure,
citizens of this country are guaranteed
rights not delegated to the govern
ment. One may, for instance. acquire
propcrty-subjcct to certain laws. One
may rear a family. subject to certain
financial limitations. One may par
ticipate in American government by |
selecting representatives or by him.
self becoming representative of the
people. But the spirit of the con-
stitution nowhere intimates that all
of the people are to share the job of
governing themselves.
We are departing from the spirit of
the constitution when we invoke the
direct primary. the recall. the initiative
and referendum to give people the
right to share in governing them
selves. Just that far are we approach
ing democracy. And just that far
are we inviting the identical fate of
all democracics through all history.

ditions did upon immigrants to this

20 Millions Under Ban
of "Castes" in India

BOston.-Untouchab obtains In
the most acute form in Kerala, popu-
larly known as Malabar, In southern
India. Here there are NayadieS, whose
very sight will pollute high-class
Hindu; Parayas who have to stand at
a distance of furlong or more, and
Pulayas of different grades. who have
to stand at distances varying from 100
to 200 feet.
There are also numerous other
castles, who have to keep different dis
tances In respect of the different
castles, and every one Of these castles
observes both untouchability and I'M
approachabillty In respect Of one or
more Of the remaining castles, says a
correspondent from Bombay.
OF late there has been general
awakening to the fact that India can
not rise In the scale of nations with
out the removal of untouchability,
which places a ban on 100000 of her
people
The problem is Of great magnitude
and does not admit of any easy solu-
ton, the evil being widespread and
deep-seated. Some national workers
have, however, addressed themselves
to the removal of this Ubiquitous prac-
tice from Malabar, and recently con-
vened a public meeting where COM
mittee, known as the Kerala untOuch-
ability committee, was formed.

New Camera Pictures
Projectiles in Flight

Washington.-The bureau of stand
ards has designed and constructed a
new camera which Is able to photo
graph projectiles In flight. 1t is not
possible to take clear picture of
very rapidly moving objects on sta
tionary Aim, because in the interval
during which the film is exposed the
image Of the object moves sufficiently
to blur the picture. The new camera
overcomes this difficulty by causing
the film to move approximately the
same velocity as does the image of the
object. Hence, there is no blurring of
the picture.
The bureau explains that to obtain
a number Of pictures several lenses
are placed in a line at right angles to
the direction of motion of the film
and focal plane shutter is so ar
ranged that the images from these
lenses are allowed to fall on the film
in succession. This gives series Of
pictures of a stationary object which
lie diagonally across the film. How
ever, If the velocity Of the image Is
the same as the velocity of the film,
the picture of the moving object will
lie across the film perpendicularly to
the direction of motion.

WHITE CEDAR HELD
PRECIOUS IN JAPAN
Fast Vanishing Supply Held
for Temple Use.

Washington.-A representative Of a
western lumber concern, who has re-
turned from a visit to Japan, has In
formed Manager Blalock of the Seat
tie Office OF the Department of Com
merce that the supply of white cedar
In that country is controlled by the
imperial family and comes from one
OF their estates. There Is also white
cedar which comes from the Island of
Formosa, but this Is less desirable be-
cause 1t has a tendency to be pink in
the center
The Japanese white cedar Of the
highest grade is considered practically
sacred. All of the wood Is inches
and up In diameter is reserved for the
building of temples. The cheaper
grades, however, are disposed of like
other woods. Especially fine pieces
are reserved for the temples of the
emperors. Only white cedar grown in
Japan is used for building temples.
In the opinion Of this visitor, most
of the white cedar shipped TO Japan
Is used for exposed beams on the in
side Of dwelling houses, where this
wood is priced for its appearance and
long duration. One instance Is cited
In which japanese paid $1,100 In
gold In this country for a choice beam

perfect diagonal grain.

ment of Commerce. Virtually the en-

CHINESE SHIP FACES

Passengers on Board Tell OF
Sensational Events.

Seattle.-Mutlny on the high seas,
typhoons and Chinese pirates were
among the experiences which the last
year allotted Fred N. Troup, first Off
Ger of the tive-masted schooner Tsens
Eai, which, flying the flag of the Chi
nese republic, has been locked here

Troup, whose home Is at Puyallup,
Wash, near Seattle, signed last sum-
mer as first officer on the American
schooner Levi w. Ostrander. When
her name was changed to Tseng Tai
and Chinese took over the vessel,
Troup became master.
On voyage the schooner ran into
a typhoon, which sent her fleeing for
safety under bare masts.
On a second voyage to Foochow, the
schooner touched at the port Of Guam
tow While 1t was lying at anchor
Chinese bandits appeared.
"The Danish chief mate and l were
the only white men aboard" recalled
Troup. Each of us had an automatic.

count how many.
'My Chinese crew of % were caught
IN their quarters and three were slain.

Later they regained their ship,
which the pirates had deserted after
removing everything portable.
The Tseng Tai was refltted and held
under the admiralty courts while sal
wage claims were contested. Under a
new ownership Troup went to Puget
sound with her as first officer. On
the way the crew mutinied, but the
trouble was quelled and the men re-
sponslble for 1t were put in irons to
be delivered to the police at Van

The stopped figure on the box, so
they said, spoke a message of ire
mendous import and with dramatic
force. Ministers borrowed the
statue to use in their sermons. One
editor termed it "An Editorial in

Publishers of the St. Paul Dis
patch and Pioneer Press saw the
value of the message it portrayed
and arranged to use it as the theme
for a community prosperity cam
paign. To get as much value as pos
sible out of the message, these pap
ers have offered prizes totaling $1,000
for the 33 best letters on the sub
ject, my Plan to Avoid the Fate Of

Business men in many towns,
eager to cooperate in any move
ment that will promote the welfare
of the community, have arranged to
offer special prizes for the best let

residents of their county or their
own community. About twenty
towns already have completed plans
