President Wilson is receiving evel

handled the Lusitania incident and al.
SO in calling the attention of the In
perial German government to some
prior attractions of international law,
wherein the German submarines or
mines, have destroyed American
property and caused the loss of a
number of American lives. The
President makes it clear that Amer
lea desires to remain neutral and be
fair to all nations, but that our rights
must be respected, in return. Com
ments from the press in all parts Of
both hemlspheres say that not since
Lincoln's time was such a request
made in such mild manner, and yet
carrying conviction with it; that there
will be no futher trihing with Ameri-
can commerce and loss of American
lives tolerated. President Wilson,
without exception, has had the most
strenuous string of distressing cir
cumstances arise during his admins
tration that has ever conf onted any
president or monarch, and shallow
and vile indeed is he who would Law

The farmers of Idaho and especl
ally of Nezperce prairie have gooo
reason to rejoice and be glad thai
they live in such grand and glorl.
GUS age, state and community. Ma
ture seems to beam down upon us
its omen of approval upon every
hand, and prosperity is being doled
out 10 all those who labor in boun-
teous measure. Crop prospects new
er looked brighter, and the price of
all grain and produce cannot help
but be the very best. The open riv-
er from Lewiston to the sea is now
no longer thing of the future, and
already a schedule of freight rates
is being formulated and will soon be
put in operation that will mean the
saving of thousands of dollars to
this section, alone, annually. Our
farmers are becoming more and more
imbued with crop rotation ideas, stock
raising and dairying, and this spells
prosperity in any land. That the
Johnson railroad will be completed
from Lewiston to this point the COM
ing year, even the most pessimistic
do not care to argue nor dispute.
Our farmers are beginning to erect
substantial homes for themselves and
barns to shelter their stock, and it
begins to look as if most of them are
preparing to stay for quite while.
All these things and many other ad
vantages not enumerated here, make
us optimistic enough to remark that
there is no better state than Idaho,
no better county in the United States
than Lewis, and no better or more
prosperous people on the entire face
Of the earth than the readers of this
article.

Prayer and se1f-Denial Service.

The women of the missionary So
cieties of the Southern Methodist
church yearly observe a week, or
some days, of prayer and self-denial,
and make offerings for the extension
of both home and foreign mission
work. The society of this Methodist
church decided to observe one day
this year. A good number of mem
bers, though far less number than
should have been there, gathered on
Tuesday afternoon at the church,
where an interesting and helpful pro-
gramme was carried out 1t is but fit
ting. and our whole duty, to observe
this week and give our thank offering g
to Him who has kept us and blessed
us and loved us throughout the year.
Just think how much we have to be
thankful for! We have been greatly
blessed in our Christian surround
ings.

organ.
The meeting was opened with the
doxology. Our pastor lead in prayer
and read the lesson of the rich young
ruler, who, on questioning Christ,
was told that he must love God best
of all and his neighbor as himself
This young man, willing to justify
himself, said unto Jesus, and who is
my neighbor?' Christ told him of
the man who went down from Jeru-
salem to Jericho and fell among
thieves. BY this illustration, the
ruler was shown that every man is
our neighbor.
Several rousing hymns were sung,

solo by Mrs. H. N. Folk.

A striking leaflet, "Japan's back
door, was read by Mrs. Frank Bam-

Japan was charmingly pictured to
us, and we were led by way of the
back door into the dark and unat-

Christian missions have succeeded in
making wonderful changes in Japan
and in the Japanese in our own coun-
try. In ten years, change after
change has taken place in her back
door view. The status of women is
bettered They are given advantages
Of an education, and doors are open
ing to them outside of the home.
The people about whom our pro-
gramme centered in are the Orientals
on the Pacific coast. The Japanese
in general are the ones whom we are
concerned in at this particular time.
The pastor. responding to an in
vitation to talk to the women, gave
us some statistics which were most
interesting and encouraging. Our
hearts swelled with gratitude to God
for the glorious work that has been
done for Him during a century. At
ter speaking of what had been ac-
complished, Dr. Watson talked on the
privilege and opportunity and duty
that is ours relative to the Orientals.
A leaflet, Friendship in action
among the Orientals on the Pacific
coast was read by Miss Black. This
reading showed us how Friendship
in action is the universal approach
to the heart of humanity, whether
in the individual or the masses

when cotton begins to move. Since
the beginning OF the war last August.

is bound to curtail the European
demand upon us for the duration or
the war. Moreover. II the British
orders in council remains in force. and
there seems TO be no immediate pros

impossible to reach the usual cont.
mental markets while the war con.
tinues.
All conditions surrounding the raw
cotton trade point TO greatly re-
dnced demand for several months,
and this circumstance considered with
the further fact that there are many
idle spindlcs in all the cotton manu-.
featuring countries. points to a slow
movement and low prices"
In other words England has all the
cotton she needs and because OF the
war we cannot get our staple into the
other cotton consuming countries.
