A Commendable Spirit.

NNdnpa Leader fttralu)
The Caldwell Commercial club
Tuesday pulled off an entcrprisng
stunt that might be profitably copied
by every city in Idaho.
The members took a day off and
visited every place in Caldwell which
could be considered in any sense a
manufacturing plant The day was
called Factory Day" and was for the
purpose of encouraging home enter
prise and to encourage the use of
Caldwell productions.
The men who made the rounds of
the town were surprised to find how
many places there were producing
some necessary article or articles and
employing from one or two up to ff-
teen men.
Following the days activities the
club gave a banquet attended by some
200 members and a dozen or so in
vited guests from other towns in the
county.
After the delightful dinner served
by the ladies Of the NJ T.. church
there was speaking for an hour or
two and those present could not help
but be impressed with the fact that
Caldwell has live bunch of boosters.
A pleasing feature of the affair was
the broad and friendly spirit displayed

Thousands of Officers Needed.

We need officers and thousands of
them, not only to command the men in
battle but also to teach them the sci
ence of warfare. the rules of camp
sanitation, etc In the present state
of unpreparedness if a war should
come, the President would call for vol
unteers, not in reality primarily to pro-
tect the land or to overcome an invad-
ing enemy, but to give up their lives
as a needless sacrifice in order that
their officers might learn by experience
how later to defeat the enemy by
means of conscripts when these vol
unteers, or large part of them, were
killed off. This is in great measure
what happened in the Civil War. Had
the United States possessed trained
army of $4,000 troops in April 1861,
it is probable they could have marched
straight to Richmond in a few weeks
and the war would have been over in
six months or a year ct most. Thus
thousands of lives and millions Of dol
lars worth of property would have
been saved. Unless all the facts and
lessons of history are untrue, this
country may at some time be face to
face with the alternates of loss of ma
tional honor or humiliation by armed
force. If it is not prepared" it may
suffer both. 1t is not question Of
what we want to- do, but what we must
do. An adequate army and navy are
just as necessary as the police force

instructed us that in case of sickness
resort to DR.. Pierce's dependable
prescriptions. These medicines as put
up for sale by druggists have never
been recommended as "cure-alls" but
only as superior remedies for GER
tain common and easily recognized
diseases. Had these medicines been
adopted to all classes and forms
Of chronic diseases there would
have been no necessity for organizing
a competent staff of expert physicians
and surgeons to act in the treatment
OF difficult, obscure and complicated
cases of chronic diseases, as DR.. Pierce
maintains in his Ipvalds' Hotel and
Surgical'lnstitute. OF his home RENEE
dies the most widely known are his
"Favorite Prescription" for womanly
troubles and rundown conditions pc
culiar to the. womanly sex; his Golden
Medical Discovery" the greatest of all
herbal system tonics and vitalizers, for
stomach. liver and blood disorders, as
well as his Pleasant Pellets" the tiny
tonic laxatives, overcoming constipa-
ton and cleansing the system of pois-
ons and. accumulations in the bowels.

Wealthy, Unprepared and Weak.


1t has been well said that it takes
two to make peace and keep it, but
one can make war. We cannot have
peace at any price if the opposite par
ty does not choose to name a price
In fact, he may prefer war at any
price and refuse to give us choice.
This might be the fortune of the Uni
ted States at any time. We are veal
thy, unprepared and weak. Through
neutrality in the European war we
have incurred the dissatisfaction of
both sides-for neutrals have no
friends. If they had, they would no
longer be neutral This dissatisfaction
might develop into actual enmity
Therefore we should be prepared
practically against no one nation, but
potentially against any and all Mill
tarism is not primarily matter Of
policy, but of the heart, as Mr.. Balfour
has said. The hearts of the American
people assuredly are peaceful. The
kind of military preparation of which
the United States has especial need at
present is furnished by such training
as has been given to few of our men
at Plattsburg and other such camps.
1t should be extended so as to include
sufficient of our citizens to form the
real defense of the country But we
also need standing army and navy
adequate to meet the first shock Of
invasion and hold hostile force in
check long enough for the citizen sol
dierS to mobilize.

Military Units.

(New York Journal of Commerce)
On the evening of Dec &c. 1862, near
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, three colo
nels in command of Union regiments
in Rosecrans' army were sitting around
the camp fire with their subaltern Off
GERS discussing the chances of survival
in battle. They decided that these
chances were at least nine out of ten
and that they would come through
the approaching conflict in safety. The
battle of Murfreesboro began the next
day, and all three of these colonies
were killed. The officers had not mis-
calculatd the chances of death under
ordinary military circumstances, for
they were killed because they COM
manded new regiments composed of
raw troops with little or no training,
who broke and ran at the first fire.
The three colonies were West Point
graduates who would not run, and they
lost their lives in desperate but vain
attempts to rally their men. The very
same regiments later became we'll drill
led, and were among the best fighting
men in the Union army. 1t was a
common occurrence for regiments on
both sides in the Civil War to run
when first under fire and later to de-
velop into troops as good as any the
world has ever seen. This is because
bravery of troops in battle is not only
the result of individual cvourage, but
also comes from corporate courage as
well-and this so-called corporate
courage is result of discipline and
training. SO that the men obey without
hesitation command to charge or to
stand firm even in the very face of the
enemy. 1t is this kind of training that
is meant when we speak of armed
preparedness" Mr.. Bryan has said
that in case of necessity million men
would Spring to arms by sunset"
Even if the men did answer the call
they would not spring to arms-we
would not have the arms to give them.
If we did have them such volunteers
would not know how to use them; not
even the ordinary rifles, much less ar
tillery of the various degrees of me-
chanical intricacy which are character
istic of warfare today. Furthermore,
these same men would not know how
to take care of themselves in camp,
but would do exactly what our volun-
teers did in the Mexican, Civil and
Spanish wars-they would die like
flies

Hot Water and "ANURIC"
Before MeaIs---And Health

All people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are
prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in their
arteries, veins and joints. They often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from govt, swol-
len hands or feet. Such people are not
always able to exercise sufficiently in
the outdoor air or drink enough pure
water in order to sweat freely and ex-
crete impurities through the skin. DIR.
Pierce has conducted experiments and
thoroughly tested uric acid solvent
at his Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute which he is convinced is
many times more potent than lithia-
this he named "Anuric." 1t can be
had at almost all drug stores by simply
asking for DR.. Pierce's Anuric for kid

in this book about the truly great edi-
tor. Horace Greeley but showing how
narrow he was. He says of him:
Doomed, as editors must be, to ex-
press opinion on insufficient evidence,
he seemed at times to regard evidence
in general as hnical if not superfuous.
From his editorial chair in the
Tribune office, it cost him no more
effort 10 tell Grant or Farragut what
to do than to discuss the pumpkin
crop with an un-state farmer" And
several # Greeley's mistakes are Civ
en- which are now most amusing, but
which then were most eXasperating.
One of the funniest things to me in
the whole book is the story of the
night at Gettysburg before the dedi
cation Of the Soldiers Cemetery;
there seems to have been an almost
lack OF arrangement to entertain any
one but the President and Edward
Everett, who was to make the prnci-
pal address; and the story of how
many went hungry, but not thirsty, Of
maudlin speeches by some who bore
fair names, is not pleasant reading.
The author well says: Quite Shakes
pearian is this low comedy interlude,
coming just before the stately. dra-
matte scene of the conservation" Ed
ward Everett made his finished ora
ton which was then praised the coun-
try ove-, printed and sold, copy of

Lincoln made his unique address in
those few lines. which were then
hardly noticed, but which will be re-
cited aim ost the world over next Tues

guage.
