Our American democracy has thus
far been incoherentIy operated, and,
as money Is the sign OF coherent
power, it is largely plutceratic in its
tendencies. This Is not to be won
dered at, for wealth means comfort
and leisure and the things that men
most desire, If not given to ideals.
If creature comforts and measure
of Independence may be obtained
through governmental agencies. there
is naturally a strong pressure to Sc.
cure them in that way.
In speaking Of woman's suffrage,
very intelligent and high-minded
man recently said that he saw no rea-
son why women should vote; that he
believed they had plenty OF other du-
ties to perform; that II would appear
that there might be a proper "divi-
sion or labor between the sexes as
concerned politics. This typical illus
trati0n shows an entire ignorance Of
the Fundamental idea OF democracy.
There can no more be division Of
labor In exercising the functions OF
self.government than there can be a
division of labor in those necessary
bodily functions of breathing. diges-
tion, or the action OF the heart
In a sense, all government is OBJ
jeetionaBle from the standpoint Of the
individual. It is Objectionable because
lit means restraint and the form this
restraint shall take Is just as much 2
choice of evils as we make when we
choose between the spoils system,
with its greater hypothetical efficien-
cy, and the merit system, with its nee.
essary elimination Of executive ability,
or when we choose between theoret.
ically perfect medium of exchange in
irredeemable paper money or the
wasteful and extrayagaft gold stand
ard, or when we choose between pri-
vately owned and operated public utiL
tiles, supposedly free from politics,
and the same enterprises owned and
operated by. the public and for the
public, with the waste and inefficiency
that accompany scattered and sporadic
management And yet, in the public
interest, we are obliged to choose the
merit system, the gold standard and.
believe, shall be obliged to choose
publicly owned and operated utilities
as the lesser evil or as the greater
good. We must shift our viewpoint
from the narrow confines and the brief
life of the individual to the breadth
and duration of society. before we can
think even in terms OF the individual.

placing the number of prisoners at a
paltry 100000.
Footing up the campaign of these
two weeks, it will be seen that the
Russians claim that they took or kill
ed something like 100000 of the
Austrians. They destroyed the force
of the enemy some several times, an
nounced each day that they were well
on the way to Berlin, and issued state
ments on numerous occasions that
Vienna was suffering with riots and
that the populace was in rebellion.
Poor, poor people to have 100000
men destroyed or captured and the
rest of the people in instruction!
Verify, one fact out of the whole mass
of lies is we'll established, and that is
that the Russian war officials are the
colossal liars of all ages, before whom
the rest of the Ananiases of all ages
and climes may we'll stand with bar
ed and reverent heads!

! How many Austrians are left in
Austria?
The writer has been rather skepti-
cal about some of the statements that
have been made by the Russian war
office, and so footed up the other aft
ernoon the number that it alleges
have been killed or captured since
September l. He was so staggered
when he summarized the figures that
he has not been able to escape the
suspicion ever since that the official
was liar in comparison with whom
old Ananias, who has been the stand
ard in that line for about two thous-
and years, seems to be mere anna
| teur. He seems to be utterly without
ragard for that which is more pre-
cious than gold, yea, fine gold, as the
Good Book calls it.
Sept. l, it was stated that 10000
Austrians were slaughtered and IT,
900 captured in and around Lemberg
| by the Russians. On the next day
came statement that 1880 more of
them had been buried on the field of
battle at Halicz. A day later came
the news that the Russians had TAX
en- 5000 more of the unfortunate Aus
TRANS. This was a puny days work,
however, in comparison with that Of
Sept. 4, when it was announced that
they had gotten up few hours ear
lier and captured 100000 before the
sun got too hot They were but little
behind this days work on Sept s.,
when $4,000 were taken before they
retired for the day. They were so
exhausted that they rested the day
following, but they more than made
up for it on September 7, when they
annihilated 100000 of them before
! they laid off for supper. Taken as a
whole, this was not a bad week S
work, for about 100000 Austrians, in
round numbers, were either killed,
captured, or otherwise disposed Of,
if the st. Petersburg correspondent
| is to be believed
Beginning the next week, the Rus
slams reported that they had taken
$4,000 more Austrians in the fighting
around Lemberg. On September TO-,
Gen Rusky issued a statement that
he had taken 10000 of the foe at
Rawa. Four days later, the Russians
were some what more conservative in
their estimates of the number that
they had taken of the Austrians,

LONDON, Sept. 24.-Contrary to
the reports that have been circulated
here and in the United States, Ber-
lin is not demoralized and panic
stricken by the war, according to
Phillip H. Wood, an American who
has Just reached London from the
German capital.
In Berlin conditions are almost nor
NAL, Wood said, and things are going
on with little change. There is lit
tie excitement.
! Life is going on practically the
same as usual he said. There is
no more difference than there is in
London. The price of food is the
same as before the war; the cafes are
all open and have their bands play
ing: there are almost as many con-
certs: many of the theatres still have
full houses, and save for the suppress
ed excitement, there is very little to
show that Germany is in a state of
war. I never saw any refugees.
Wood, who made a point of talking
with as many people as possible in
Germany, did not observe any anxiety
as to the supply Of food. Apparent
" no one was taking any pains to be
economical, and he was told by sever
al authorities that there was enough
food already in the country to last
for eighteen months.
There was also optimism as to the
result of the war.
"The general view," said Wood,
that if the Germans don't win they
will make it a draw. They are salts
fed that their army can never be
beaten, and that the most the allies
can hope for is a stale-mate. Even
if they have to retreat from France,
they are confident that they will be
able TO defend their own country for
an indefinite time.
! 81 asked two officers if they had
considered the possibility of defeat
and one said, Yes, it may be Just pos

sible; but if so we should not be
here, and in all Germany there would
not be more than $4,000 men left be-
tween the ages of II and So
"My own opinion added Wood,
is that the war will be stopped by
mediation within a month. But when
l suggested it to "a German officer he
said, Its no good talking to us about
mediation till we've occupied Paris
and St.Petersburg. Then we might
listen to you"
Wood found considerable bitterness
toward England, and he was rarely
successful in persuading anyone to
believe that England was fighting
Prussian militarism rather than the
German people.

ADVANCE AGENT
MUSICAL COMEDY
ALMA, WHERE DO YOU LlVEY
MAN TALKS OF BIG SHOW
WEDNESDAY,.

Carl Zellner, advance agent for the
Alma, Where Do You Live?" compa-
ny, was in the city today making ar
rangements for the coming of the
show here on next Wednesday even
ing, Sept 80,
This big musical comedy is said to-
have splendid cast this year, fresh
on the road, and not worn and tired
out, as they become later in the year.
The star is Miss Celia Mavis, the
Austrian song bird and prima donna.
She is said to have a beautiful voice
and as a dancer she ranks with the
best on the stage today.
The show is full of good music,
catchy songs, pretty dances with their
latest interpretations, and strain of
comedy that runs through the whole
play. 1t has been an international
success and for the past two years
has had phenomenal runs in New
York and Chicago.
Mr.. Zellner is enthusiastic over the
company that will be seen here next
Wednesday night in the presentation
of the show. He believes that it will
give Columbia theatrical lovers one
of the best shows that will be seen
here this season.
Tickets will be placed on sale at
Woldridges Saturday morning.

President Wilson Favors Loan to the
Reclamation Service.

President Wilson is in line with
Secretary Lane on the proposition of
the government giving the Reclama-
ton Service big loan of money. If
this loan is made the officers of the
Black Canyon Irrigation District feel
that the project will receive the con
sideration it deserves.
In telegram to the Irrigation Con
gress now in session at Calgary,
President Wilson says:
Il am pleased to send greetings to

HOMER YOUNG OF NAMPA
DESERVES CARNEGIE MEDAL
Saves Lives of Three Girls at Risk
of His Own.

At fire which occurred at Nam
pa Sunday morning Homer Young "a
years OF age, DISTINGUISHED himself
bv heroism in risking his life to res
cue his two younger sisters and a
glrl who was visiting them. The
nre destroyed the residence Of
Young's father.
Inc origin of the fire has not been
solved. MIR. Henry built a fire in The
kltchen range shortly after 8 O'Clock
sunday morning, and then proceeded
TO the barn to do the morning chores
n Jew seconds later the entire lower
story OF the dwelling burst into
names. 1t was a frame structure of
SIX rooms, two stories, and was
doomed to total destruction before
the hire department could reach the
scene.
On the second floor Homer Henry
was sleeping, and in an adjoining
room his sisters, Hosie and Roxie,
with their friend, Myrtle Morehousc,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam More
house, were sleeping.
w hen awakened by the smoke and
the blaze, young Henry first thought
evidently was for the safety of his
sisters. The entire lower story and
It's furniture were already a mass of
flame and he realized that the only
escape for the girls and himself was
by way of the window.
The two Henry children and the
Morchouse. girl were dropped from
the second story window to the
ground, about IS feet below. The
former escaped with but slight burns.
but Myrtle Morehouse sustained a
broken arm in her fall.
Meantime the flames had reached
the second story of the building, and
Homer Henry, before he had achieved
the safety of his sisters and their
guest, was severely burned about the
head and shoulders and his hands and
torearns were mass of blisters. He
was taken to the home of Lee Cox. a
neighbor, and medical attention was
summoned for both him and the girls
he had saved. His injuries, while
painful, are not of serious nature.
The A. M. Henry home was burned,
with practically all of its contents,
three years ago and the dwelling dc
stroyed Sunday was on the site of the
other building. The house was val
ued at about $1,000 and there was in
surance to the amount of only $500
No insurance was carried on the fur
niture
