cept one were wars for principle
waged, not in consequence OF mill
taristic ideal, but solely because OF
the vitality of an ideal of peace.
In the United States, therefore,
our military IT,; dltlon is only a part
of an ideal Of peace, which is the
mightiest thing in our history we
have followed war as we have solely
because we have followed peace as
we have. Our war record is but the
other side Of the shield. The Amerl-
can war ideal is part and parcel OF
the American peace ideal.
The American war ideal is the arm
ing of the citizen to defend his home,
his community and his native land.
1t is the preservation in the citizen
of those moral virtues and those
physical habits and aptitudes which
are the crown of success in peace and
war. For a century of our national
existen( the hardships of the wilder
ness and the peril of the savage train
ed our soldiers for us. The frontier
has now vanished; but the tradition
of the citizen who shot straight,
marched tirelessly and cared Tor HIM
self wisely in camp will never die.
mat Will De ours 10 tue euu.
Our defense problem is in its ele-
ments simplicity itself. 1t is the pro-
vision of the kind Of training for our
boys and our young men that will DO
for the 1916 boy what the wilderness
and the Indians did for the boy OF
1875 and the boy Of 1861.
The man who is afraid of such
training as this is afraid of his own
national history and unworthy OF its
glories. We stand in no danger OF
European militarism. Our history
forbids it ever to appeal to us. And
in considering our duty to arm our
selves we must think first of all not
of the armed legions of Europe, but
of the ideals of Valley Forge and OF
Gettysburg.-St. Louis Republic.

COMPETITION AFTER THE WAR.

The republican party is trying to
stampede the country to high tariff
by wailing about the dreadful COM
petition" which Europe will inflict
upon us at the close of the war. 1t
may be we'll, therefore, to see just
what sort of competitors Europe is
likely to be.
| Factories in the war zone have
! been smashed, and those outside that
zone have been remodeled, wherever
possible, to produce military sup
plies. Before Europe can even start
competing with us, therefore, she
must rebuild many of her factories
and reconvert far larger number
to the manufacture OF peaceful sup
plies.
! Taxes in Europe are very high, and
will remain SO for a generation. Cap
ital is scarce, and becoming more so.
Men by millions have been killed OF
disabled and their places in the in
dustrial army must remain vacant,
or be taken by unframed women or
boys. 1t will be years before France,
Belgium or Germany can come back
to their full manufacturing strength,
and while England's recovery will be
swifter even that will take some
time.
Did the Puget sound cities wall
that the earthquake and fire of San
Francisco would make that city an
irresistible competitor? Did New
Orleans ask protection lest the
flood at Galveston should cause that
city to become the dominating city
of the gulf region? Hardly. Then
why this howl that a calamity far
greater than fire or flood will make
those who have borne the brunt of
that calamity industrial masters of
the world?
The simple fact is that every argu-
1nent, every word, every thought of
the tariff barons is STEPPED in intel
lectual dishonesty and moral cow
ardice. Congress wastes time when
it listens to them for a moment, and
the country is not going to re-enact
the Aldrich tariff to protect a
group of over-fat trusts in the mon
opoly of the American market.-Chi-
cago Journal.

Stomach Trouble
Quickly Relieved
T. HI. Lewis Tells How He Was
Quickly Restored by Single
Bottle. a$

Thomas H. Lewis, of 1902 West
Second street, Ottumwa, Iowa, was a
sufferer from stomach ailments. He
took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and
got quick relief.
The very first does convinced him.
Mr.. Lewis wrote:
II received your remedy and wish
to state that it is wonderful. The first
bottle made me feel better than ]
have felt in years. Would be glad to
recommend it to anybody who needs
a stomach remedy"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives
permanent results for stomach, liver
and intestinal ailments. Eat as much
and whatever you like. No more dis
tress after eating, pressure of gas in
the stomach and around the heart.
Get one bottle from your druggist
now and try it on an absolute guar
antee-if not satisfied money will bel

A CLEAR ISSUE IN MASSACHU-
SETS.

The announcement that Senators
Lodge and Weeks, ex-senator Muir
ray Crane and Gov. Mccall will ask
to be sent from Massachusetts as un'
instructed delegates to the republl-
can convention makes that state the
most interesting spot on the map OF
American politics. Undoubtedly this
move on the part of four Of Massa-
chusetts' most prominent stand-pat
statesmen is a reply to the recent an
nouncement from Congressman A. P
Gardner, Charles Sumner Bird, Graf
ton D. Cushing and Robert Wash
burn that they would seek to repre-
sent Massachusetts in the convention
as Roosevelt men.
There is to be a fight in Massachu-
sets between those who would like
to keep the control of the party in
the hands of the regulars and those
who were Roosevelt men in 1912 or
are now ready to surrender to Roose-
welt, Perkins & Co.
Senators Lodge and Weeks and
their fellow candidates, it will be
noted, are not calling themselves an
ti-Rooseyelt men, but the motive
which causes Father-in-law Lodge to
oppose Son-in-law Gardner is Ger.
tainly not born of any wish to see
the colonel back in the White House
Simply as a matter of ordinary hu.
man nature, the old guard that gave
battle to Roosevelt four years ago can
not be expected to go into this years
fight without even an effort to patch
the party together in some other way
than by unconditional surrender to
the colonel and his followers, and
that seems to be what this new move
ment means in Massachusetts.
In one way or another the same
fight is being fought all over the
country. Did the engineers of the
steam roller in Chicago eliminate
Roosevelt from the control of the re-
publican party, or did they destroy
themselves? That is the question that
is being fought out, and for time
Senator Weeks seemed to think he
was the man who should lead the
movement to keep Roosevelt in sub
lection. His present desire to go to
Chicago as delegate without can
ddate must be taken as the end of
his presidential aspirations for the
present, but that is a detail of the
larger picture.-St. Louis Republic,

One of the queerest strikes on rec
ord is that now on at the mills of the
American Brass Company of Ansonia,
Conn.,, where the men struck first
and then met to agree upon griev-
ance. The uproar of indignation
that would have gone forth had the
company discharged the men without
first stating a reason thereof is easy
to imagine.

MAKING A CITY

Beside being the best agricultural
has ambitions to be the best manu-
featuring town in the Inland Empire.
1t has succeeded to the extent ofsout-
doing all other towns of like size,s and
now it has the pleasant prospect of
adding another important industry to
its list
The Moscow fire brick and clay prod
uct company was organized recently
to develop some clay beds located near
Joel, and to engage in the manufac-
ture of clay products. Tests indicate
that the clay owned by the company is
unequalled by any found elsewhere in
the United States for certain classes
of service, and there appears to be a
ready market for fire bricks of the
quality it will make. Conservative
business men are backing the enter
prise, and it has every prospect of
success.
That the plant be located in Moscow
is of the utmost Importance to Mos
COW, and there can be little doubt but
that adequate support will be giveA
the industry if the plant is located
here. The town has had reason to
know that an industrial payroll is I'M
surpassed as an asset for a city.

PREPARE EXHIBITS
FOR ANNUAL FAIR
Secretary OstrO0t Urges Growers to

Specimens and Tells How to Pre-

Active efforts will be made at once
to prepare early for securing exhibits
of the products of the county for the
coming fall fair. The directors of the
fair association are expected to meet
tonight and fix the dates for the fair
and close up some additional work of
a preliminary nature. Secretary Os-
troot announced today that it was the
desire to have some excellent hay ex
hibits this year. He gives some good
ideas on the manner in which exhibits
should be prepared
. Material prepared for exhibition
purposes should be of the current sea-
sons growth. In most localities al
falfa, clover and timothy are now in
prime condition., said Mr.. Ostroot.
"All forage crops for exhibits should
be cut at the time when they are the
most desirable for feeding purposes.
The materials should be cured in
dark place where there is plenty Of
ventilation. II the air in the curing
room is kept damp, the samples will
have a more natural green color. No

we are convinced by the testimony of

by the statement of Frank A. Munsey,

The entire population of Troy turn
