The following record of an actual
consultation is suggestive and in

was neurasthenia, or sO-called ''nerv-

Eyes, headaches, an ache in the

COURAGE VS.. DECENCY

The other day an excited indivld-
nal rushed into a newspaper ONCE
with a choice bit of scandal burning
his tongue. It made no difference to
this person that the scandal affected
the daughter of his neighbor-!hat
the mother of the girl was seriously
ill-that the brother was just enter
ing what promised to be successful
professional career. The scandal
was rich in favor, and he wanted to
see it in the paper. He told the
editor about it, with every evidence
of the keen relish of the scandal con-
noisseur, but impressed upon the
newspaper man that the source of his
information must be kept invlolably
secret. When the paper came out,
the man returned to demand why the
story hadn't been printed. Short,
sharp words followed, and the visitor
called the editor a coward and left,
vowing that man who was afraid to
print the news had no right to be an
editor. To our mind, that editor was
a brave man. The informer who de-
manded that his name be kept secret
was the coward. The editor ran a
paper in small town. So closely
related were the lives of the inhabi-
tants, that the editor knew every de-
tail of the story before his visitor
called on him. But he could see no
profit for himself nor glory for his
paper in printing an item that would
bring sorrow to the gray hairs of a
father, disgrace TO brother and
probably serious consequences to a
sick mother. If the news appetites
of his readers we're SO voracious, he
thought, as to demand this costly
food, he would refuse to pay the price.
The editor was right. Many things
he has TO print which he would rath-
er leave unsaid, but the scandal
which has only its "spice' to
recommend it should have no place
in the columns of a self-respecting
paper. We would rather build than
tear down. We would rather print
things that help and encourage and
uplift than to hold up the mistakes of
some unfortunate to the scorn and
contempt of his neighbors. Decen-
cy is not lack of courage. If it were
We would rather be decent than cou-
Iageous.

Waters Makes Rotation Pay.

On Thursday l visited Mr.. E. H.
Waters place eight miles north of
Nezperce. He was just finishing
stacking his crop Of red clover hay
which he says made about three tons
per acre. This clover was sown in
spring Of 1914 on spring barley that
had been sown al the rate Of 90 lbs.
per acre. He harvested 1000 lbs.
of barley per acre and this year in
stead Of summer following and get
ting no direct return for his labor he
is taking crop valued at $4,000
per acre, besides getting rid of the
weeds and improving the soil. This
is one of a good many demonstra
tons in the county pointing to the

The building of railroad to con-
meet north and south Idaho seems
such gigantic undertaking that
Governor Alexander's efforts along
this line are made light of by his po-
litical enemies and are alluded to as
only an illusionary scheme of His
Excellency to advance his political
rating. Just the same the states
great need is this north and south
railroad to amalgamate it into one
real commonwealth, and the fact
that the Hon. Moses Alexander has
thus far made good his larger as
well as his smaller promises to the
people, leads these people to repose
a confidence in his work for this
road that cannot be dislodged by
the adverse stories of political oppo-
nents. This man, who is really
making showing along the liae of
handling the taxpayers money in an
honest, business-lixe way mas found
warm spot in the hearts of tax
payers, and this regardless of politi-
tical affiliations.

The European war has cost the
neutral nations of the world over
5000, 100000 already in maintaining
their neutrality, making up the rev
enue deficit on account Of the war
and caring for the refugees. Of
this amount it has cost Holland $780,
100000, Switzerland about one third
of this and the other 100000 is
distributed among the other countries
of Europe and America. Thus it
seems that all other countries are
having deficits as well as the United
States. But the cause in other
countries is the war while in the
United States the cause according to
some Of the partisan papers is the
new tariff law alone.

Items That Are Not Intended to Hit
or Miss Anyone But Just to Tell You

That the "long way to Tiperary"
does not get any shorter fast.
That even the crook measures
| life by the kindnesses he is able to
show others.
, That many are worrying most for
fear their crop will not cover the
price of the auto.
That the carelessly dropped cigar
cite often does as much damage
after being cast away as before,

That some think they are entitled
to double glory and two salaries
when they simply do the days chore
as it should be done.
That J~ha D. should have warm
feeling for Nezperce, for it is one of
the largest gasoline consumers of
any town in the country.
That it seems strange why some
come into the country to help the
farmers in harvest, when any job
that might be rendered them is only
too shocking.
That if our grain crop could only
command the price of the watermelon
crop in these parts a big-six, 1916
model would look like dinky road
wagon to the prairie farmers.
That theatre manager at Cleve-
land, 0 has fred all his blond fe-
male ushers and hired brunettes.
He said the men talked with the
blends and patrons had to wait to be
shown their seats.
That in other days the meek-eyed
COW kept the grass we'll cropped
along the streets in our little city,
but now she is forbidden this luxury
and the grasses are permitted to
grow even over the sidewalks in
reckless abandon.
That the Nezperce fire brigade is
not only deserving of an iron cross
of honor, but has coming to it any
local laurels that our citizens have
laying around to bestow on the
worthy. The boys have shown high |
class at the several fires this burg
has suffered in the past two years.

Some County Debt.

"The county commissioners have
called a special election to be held
on Saturday, August %, "for the
purpose of voting upon the question
as to whether or not the county of
Clearwater shall issue negotiable
coupon bonds for the sum of $40, 900
for the purpose of the reconstruction
and repair of roads and bridges with
in said county" The present in
debtedness of the county of over S100,
900 and the reduction of the assessed
valuation of the county of more than
million dollars than that of 1914,
leaves the county without funds to
repair and extend the several roads
throughout the county necessary to
the development of the country.
The bonds will run for 20 years, as
fixed by statute. "-Orofno Tribune.
Clearwater county seems to have
been going some during the three
years of her existance, yet she has
not much more to show for this
heavy indebtedness than has Lewis
county, which is minus the debt and
is just as young as Clearwater.
