GET INTO THE BOOSTING

World Outlook

Do you know there's lot of people
Sitting round most every town,
Growing like broody chicken,
Knocking every good thing down?
Don't be that kind of cattle,
cause they amt good earth,
But just be booster rooster,
Grow and boost for all your worth
If your town needs boosn' boost her;
Don't hold her back and wait to see
If some other fellows !. Him;
Sail right in, this country Is free
No ones got mortgage on it,
It's just yours much his,
1t your town is shy of boosters
You get in the boost;n' biz.
If things don't suit you
An the world seems kinder wrong
What's the matter with a boostin'
Just TO help the thing along?
cause if things should stop again,
We'd be in a sorry plight,
You just keep the horn blowin',
Boost her up with all your might
If you some fellow tryin
For to make project go,
An you can boost it up trife,
That's your cew to let him know
That your not going to knock it,
Just because it amt your shout,
But that you're going to boost little
Cause he's got the best thing out

IT Is WAR

1t is war. Let us strike hard and
quick. Let us make it short war, but
at all events thorough war. We have
warded it off incredibly-many be-
lieve discreditably-long. We have
been patient with Mexico beyond hui
man nature; we have sought to be-
friend her as no other nation could
have befriended her, and in the at
tempt to befriend her we have sur
fered outrage and humiliation at her
hands which we have suffered be-
cause we were strong, but which she
conceves we have suffered because
we were cowardly All that is over
now. There are some maladies which
only war can cure. Mexico has
brought such a malady and such
remedy upon herself. 1t is for us
now to be as heroic in applying it
as we were patient in applying the
peaceful remedy that failed.-Louis-
vile Courier-J ournal.

that preparedness the best insurance against trouble
Trouble is unlikely to the individual who is

RAILROADS TO ENCOURAGE TRAVEL

About all the advantages of travel be had by going
to the next village The change of scenery people and
ways of doing things, while great, noticeable
enough to give person viewpoint and quite often
idea. The faculty OF looking at the affairs of life
from different angles constitutes breadth of mind The
faculty of looking at everything from every angle
utes breadth and depth Of mind and greatness of soul
Some persons have travelled much and have been
hundred miles from home. Other persons have travelled
little though they may have soourned in all parts Of
the world person that which he brings the mind
to and nothing else
We that the Oregon Short Line has undertaken
the encouragement of travel This company will make
special concessions for Sundays and weekends The
idea is that travel will be good thing for every
body concerned The special will enable people
go away from home for short visits to nearby points
The extra travel created will nearly utilize the
plant and equipment maintained by the railroad company
and let hope result in certain dividends to the
stockholders.
Any effort which converts waste into profit and the
time benefits people generally should be endorsed
and encouraged Efficiency is the wachword of the day
Efficiency simply consists OF utilizing everything the
best possible advantage The Oregon Short Line is truly
efficient

keenly disappointed that the Governor did arise

office. And by doing he would have played the best

HOW WE WERE SERVED

Idahos delegation at the Republican
national convention voted four for
Hughes and four for Roosevelt on the
first ballot. five for Hughes and three
for the Hero on the second and got
on the band wagon for the third. The
four for Hughes were. Ailshie, Brady,
Gooding and Whitla and the Roose-
welt trio were Borah. Hart and Dewey.
Stanley Easton is the man who
switched after the first vote. Borah is
a politician, Dewey is a business man
and strings with Borah. while Hart
is both a business man and a politician
and was really in favor of neither
Hughes or Roosevelt. Borah was the
only real Roosevelt man in the dele.

STILL "BATTLING
FOR THE LORD"

The Caldwell Tribune asserts that:
"In preparing the public mind, in ere
ating the public sentiment, for the de-
tense of the country and the mainten-
ance of its honor, Colonel Roosevelt,
the crusader, will render invaluable
aid We believe that Colonel Roose-
welt is big enough to see his duty and
brave enough to do it."
The Tribune has been markedly
anti-Ted during the campaign for
nomination, but now shows splen-
did example of largeness and fellow
ship, in inviting him, who battled at
Armageddon for the Lord, to desert
the Lord and battle for Hughes and
Republicians-Grangeville Free Press
No desertion there. The Colonel by
battling for Hughes and the Republi-
cans will still be on the side of the
Lord.

Come, let us be frank. We do not

make one side about an inch long, and
the opposite side to it about a foot
long and join the ends. The short

SOFT WORDS TURNETH AWAY WRATH

The United States permits its wrath to be appeased
with that is sometimes startling. The admnistra-
ton permits the exchange of soft words for murder with
out boot. 1t may be the right spirit, but afraid
that the people of the country getting tired of the
manifestation. Most any murderer willing to settle
the basis of soft words for the destruction of life and
property Even Carranza is not above appeasing our
wrath in this manner.
If this country is enjoy the rights of sovereign peo
pie the respect of the world and the usually
accorded civilized nations it approach the world in
different spirit. We have change in the spirit
of the administration at Washington President Wilson
constituted mentally that he confounds the mission
of the government, and in attempt practice high
ideal utterly fails justice for the people living
under his government The rights of the American peo-
pie have been and being sacrificed in the pursuit OF
vain impractical theory that the attitude of govern
ment should be of humility in the face of insult

The leaders respond else be deprived of their

By the of his calling the political leader

that by watching close for signs he fails to discern

times mistaken for the general direction of the prevail

be readily forgotten and forgiven.
The Tribune, indicated, is greatly pleased with the
manner in which the Republican party is preparing fol
the approaching campaign. We know that it is the
best interests of Idaho that Republican adnins
traon be elected and anything that prepares for that
happy event awakens enthusiasm.

THE HAPPY PROGRESSIVES

Pokng good-natured fun at the
Propressives party is the order of the
day. "All dressed up and no place
to go" is admitted by one of the most
prominent of them, William Allen
White, accurate to express the condi-
ton of their homelessness.
But instead of not having any place
to go, are not the Progressives in the
most enviable of positions? Can they
not pick and choose their political
habitat, certain that the latch string
will not only be hanging out, but the
door itself thrown wide open with
somebody standing in it ready to sci
out the best chair in the house?
The fortunate man is he who carries
his party allegiance under his own
hat, unhampered by prejudices and
tradition, believing he can best serve
his city, his state, his nation by pur'
suing an Independent course. voting

knowing that doing so means the
wearing of party ties lightly.
