unable to say, because of th possi
bility that the extra session of Con
gress will be called earlier than the
announced date of April 16.
"The tension at Washington." said
Mr. Johnson, "has become intense ever
since the President severed diplomatic
relations with Germany. There is a
feeling that the United States virtually
Is at war. and that an actual declara
tion of war is due in a short time.
"News of today must make it clear
to all that a war situation is actually
upon us. There seems to be no escape
from it, and the President of the United
States must have behind him a united
Nation. There can be no divisions now.
To stand behind the President is to
stand for the United States. All will
admit that the President has moved
slowly with regard to the international
situation from the beginning, but he Is
likely to make rapid moves from now
on. and startling events may follow
Quickly, one upon .he other.
"I am firmly convinced that we will
find that practically all of our citizens
will stand as one in the crisis. They
will not criticise the moves of the Gov
ernment, and, what is fully as Impor
tant, they will not criticise each other."

Decision Is That Brothers and Sis
ters, Even by Adoption, Tend
to Prevent Selfishness and
to Develop Character.
Which Is the happier an only child
or one of a family of five children?
Presiding Judge Gantenbein. of the
Circuit Court, gave Judicial recognition
to the opnlon that an only child is far
more likely to be unhappy and selfish,
when he denied a writ of habeas corpus
yesterday and refused R. W. Turner
custody of his 6-year-old son Charles,
giving the boy to James T. Hendryx
and Jennet E. Hendryx, an uncle and
aunt, who have cared for the youngster
since birth and have reared him with
their own four children.
And Judge Gantenbein spoke with
authority. He is the father of five
children, and was, himself, reared with
six sisters and two brothers.- As for
further experience with children
Judge Gantenbein might cite his tribu
lations as a school teacher and his
management of the Juvenile Court for
two years and a half.
Mother's Care Now Provided.
A father is entitled to the custody
of his own child under ordinary condi
tions, said Judge Gantenbein in ruling
on the writ., "But in this case the wel
fare of the child is the paramount
issue. Mrs. Hendryx has taken care
of the boy since birth, five years and
three months ago. The conduct of the
father during that time tends to sup
port the existence of the contract al
leged by the respondents that in re
turn for the care of the child the father
was to relinquish, future claim upon
his son.
"Mrs. Hendryx has a family of four
and knows how to take care of chil
dren. The petitioner was married
recently. His wife Is well along in
years and the prospect Is that the boy.
if given to him. might be reared in
the family all by himself. As a rule,
this Is not good for the development
of a boy or a girl; It tends to selfish
ness and other evils.
Boy Declared Abandoned.
T had hoped that a settlement might
be effected in this case ana toon tne
attorneys into my chambers, but such
an " arrangement appears impossible.
The boy should remain with the Hen
dryx. I shall deny the writ. to
father Is held to have abandoned the
boy and no longer has a claim on his
child."
A petition for the adoption of the
boy by r. and Mrs. Hendryx was filed
in the County Court last week, follow
ing the application In the Circuit Court
by Mr. Turner for a writ of habeas
corpus.
The mother or-xne poy aiea at uis
birth, and the Infant, Charles, was
given into the care of his aunt. Mrs.
Hendryx. "
The father sought cusxoay oi nis
child and offered to pay a "reasonable
amount for his care during the five
years. But Mr. and Mrs. tienaryx naa
become as attached to the bright, dark
eyed youngster as to one of their own
sons and rerusea, asserting mai mr.
Turner had agreed five years before to
lay no future claim to his son.
rhnrlii sat In the lap of Mrs. Hen
dryx during the hearing and scarcely
turned his eyes to nis tamer. xuero
was no farewell between ratner ana
on as Mr. and Mrs. Hendryx left the
courtroom with the lad.

sloa Bill Is KUIed.
BOISE, Idaho, March SO. (Special.)
Governor Alexander today signed the
bill passed by the Legislature creating
a State Board of Agriculture. As a re
sult the Northwest Livestock Show at
Lewiston gets a $10,000 appropriation
and the tSate Fair at Boise 15,000. The
bill as passed carried $20,000 appropria
tions for each and $5000 for a state
pure seed show. The Governor vetoed
the lat item in full and reduced the
others. It is understood the reductions
are acceptable to both associations. In
addition, the Governor approved the
item of $2500 to meet Dills contracted
bv the Livestock Show in 1916.
It was a baa aay ror appropriation
measures and the veto ax was swung
with vigor. Over $100,000 was cut from
bills. The. $50,000 for the Clark"s Fork
bridge, in Bonner County, was vetoed
because the tSate Mignway uommission
will build it out of its $1,000,000 bond
Issue. For the same reason the $30,000
for the Lewis and Clark Highway, in
Idaho County, was disapproved. in
addition, the Governor vetoed $10,000
for investigations of water resources or
the state, $1500 for poultry and pet
Btock shows in North and South Idaho,
$1500 for the purchase of old ort
Lemhi, in Lemhi County.
Because at a preferential vote taken
in Bannock County sentiment was
shown to be against division of that
county, the Governor vetoed . the Port
Neuf County division bill. He took
similar action with regard to the bill
seeking to establish a bureau of mines
and geology.
Why go limping around with aching,
