DEMOCRACY AND PREPARED
NESS

Some near-democrats of vari-
Gus political parties, are perplexed
by the outcries regarding prepared
ness. They realize that neither po-
litical nor economic conditions in the
country are what they ought to be.
They know that social conditions
maintained by our laws inflict on
most of the people terrible and cruel
injustice. They know that it is nei-
Their just nor reasonable to compel
people, so oppressed, to either con-
tribute of their earnings, or to risk
their lives in defense of such institu-
tions. And they further know how
dangerous to free institutions big
army and navy policy must be. Yet
in spite of all, they feel it their duty
to support the preparationist demand.
They say in effect, eyes, there is
much outrageous injustice in this
country, but should we be overpower-
ed by a foreign enemy, We would lose
what liberty we have"
So to avoid risk of loss through
foreign conquest of what liberty we
have" they would subject it to the
greater risk of loss, through creation
and maintenance of a big military
establishment

Because we have not made this coun-

Of militarism. That is bad advice.
The proper course was well pointed
out by Henry George:
'Tf, while there is yet time, we
turn to Justice, and obey her, If we
trust Liberty and follow her, the dan

LEWISTON BoWLERs' WELCOME
Grangeville Team Royalty Treated and
Entertained While in the City.

The Grangeville boys are still talk
ing about the splendid welcome and re-
ception rendered them by the Lewiston
people, and particularly by the mem
bers of the Lewiston bowling club.
They say they were treated royalty by
the Lewistonians from the time they
arrived in the city until they departed
and that the sting of defeat ceases to
exist when they recall the feeling of
good fellowship and hospitality which
they met with at every hand. At the
train the Grangeville boys were met by
the Lewiston club and taken in autos
to the hotel from where they were
escorted to the Elks' club for luncheon,
after which they enjoyed 20 mile auto
ride through the Lewiston orchards.
Returning to the city they were taken
to the Bollinger hotel where fine five
course dinner was served to the men,
bers of both teams and friends. Miles
s. Johnson, of the Lewiston club, in a
short welcoming talk at the dinner as
sured the Grangeville boys of their wei
come there and urged them to make
their wants known, whatever they de-
sired, and the wish would be gratified
if possible. AS one of the Grangeville
players expressed it later: "They sure

told us our money was counterfeit and

SUSPENSION BRIDGE ON SALMON
Higgins Provides Way for Crossing
River-Another One Wanted.

A suspension bridge has been con
structed at cost of $500 across Sal
mon river at higgins for the benefit of
travel and teams and is being exten.
sively used. The bridgeis strong enough
to transport teams, and it will also be
used to convey water from the Little
Salmon to the old sheep camp, which
is now broken up for alfalfa. A can
vas hose will be used to pipe the water
across, and the elevation will be suf-
ficient to cover the flat.
A petition to the board of county
commissioners is now being circulated
by the up-river residents asking them
to appropriate $500 for the construc,
tion of a similar bridge at the mouth
of French creek, on the site of the old
state bridge which was permitted tc
collapse through neglect in not provid
ing paint for the same which would
have kept it from dry rot and been in
service today with proper care. A
ferry was maintained at the French
creek crossing, but it went out during
the spring freshet, and is unlikely tc
be replaced, hence the petition fol

but the hackers came through so hand
somely that it will be possible to en-
large the capacity over that originally
planned. Nezperce farmers were the
next to get in line and jointly move for
the erection of elevators.
The new move will necessitate the
formulating of new plans of haudling
grain and providing farm graneries fo1
storage. At Ilo farmers plan to cree,
individual graneries near the main ele
vators to store their grain. Plans are
also being made to erect graneries on
the ranches. The indication is that the
agricultural sections will soon adapt
themselves to the new method of hand
ling grain. The saving in the costs OF
sacking and handling grain will even
tually repay the first cost and work al
immense saving. 1t looks much lik,
the prairie will be solely served by ele
vators from now on.

LEWISTON BowLERs WIN.
Grangeville Won Out of Games But

the river city's bowlers visiting
Grangeville. The report of the match
and the scores as given by the Tribune
is as follows:
Before large crowd gathered at the
Langan alleys last night the Lewiston
bowlers defeated selected sextette of
Grangeville pin artists, managing to
gather 1929 pins against 2746 for
Grangeville. The visitors landed two
out of the three games, taking the
second and third, the strangeness of the
alleys presumably having lot to do
with the poor showing made in the first
game of the evening.
The contest was replete with sensa-
tional plays, and enthusiasm ran high
at every stage. Both sides had many

ed it in a generous measure.
A Grangeville man, McAdams, car
ried off the individual honors for the
evening, quitting with the high score
for three games, and with the high for
a single game. McAdams totaled 529
for the evening, and his high score for
a single game was 207. Miles johnson
was high for the home guard, falling
but nine pins short of McAdams for
the three games, but in single game per-

Two Machines Placed in This Section

1t begins to look as though there will
be a considerable number of farm trac.
tors in use in the farming section of
this community this year, two already
having been sold. William Potter, a
new arrival from the Panhandle coun.
try, who has leased the Hickerson place
in the Tolo section, having seen the ad,
vantage of the tractor on the farm as
demonstrated in other communities, Sc

ternational people through the Miller

considerable speculation among those
who saw it as its ability to drag two
fourteen inch plows through the dobe.
However, the company expert from
Spokane wore a satisfied smile as he
pulled out for the Hickerson ranch.
The machine did all that was claimed
for it, pulling the plows through sod
and dobe with ease. However, Mr.. Pot
ter desired machine that could handle
more plows and as result is using a
Titan, or next larger size of farm trac.
tors put on by the International peo.
pie, which arrived Monday and is plow-
ing away in great shape.
The small machine has been sold to
Wicks Bros, who after observing the
tractor in practical use decided it was
good business to own one. A good
tractor suited to the work for which il
is intended and bought with considera
tion of the amount of land farmed has
proven good investment in many
other communities and no doubt this
year will see quite a number in use on
the prairie.

OBITUARY OF ROBERT WHITE.

Robert White was porn Jan. z, lS45
in Washington County, Arkansas. AS
a Young man he had pronounced re-
ligious nature, and at the age of IL he
was converted and joined the Methodist
Protestant church. He served his God
in this church, most of the time as an
official, until coming to Idaho. Dur
ing the civil strife he served In the
Army three years. On
Nov. IL, 1873 he was united in marriage
to Mary E. Kerlee. They moved to
Idaho in the spring of 1884. There be-
inc no church of which he was men,
Der at Grangeville he joined the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, to which he was
affiliated at his decease.
The pre-eminent joys of his life were
those associated with the loved ones OF
tbe home and his religion. He was an
ardent worshipper of Christ, and the
words of Paul he fittingly appropriated
to himself: "For me TO live is Christ,
and To die is gain.' With joyful com
posure he said that he had not hved
over 70 years for nought, but had pre-
nared for life's exit, so cheerfully nc
welcomed the spirits beckoning calling
him to his eternal reward. This trium
phant close of long faithful life must
possess comforting assurance to the
bereft son and wife.
The funeral services were held at tht
Methodist Episcopal Church with Rev
Cook and Gornall officiating and Il. .
