The philosophy of preparedness Is we'll epitomized by the Fresno. Cal, Republican, when 1t says that there must be force enough to meet the conditions of this age of force" With western vigor 1t adds:
 We must be prepared, in men and in munitions, In men, we need state con- stabularies, to relieve the other forces from merely police service; the natioa- al guard, as an organized auxiliary force; and trained citizenry organiz- ed In paper regiments. as a reserve national army. If that trained citi- zenry shall ultimately include all the able bodied men. under the Swiss sys- tenn, so much the better. In munitions, We need reserve supplies sufficient for any emergency. and equipment to pro- duce mora when needed. We need as much as possible of that equipment under national ownership. We mus take all business motives out of war and preparation for war. And we must do all this at our own expense, paying as we go. We must not saddle posterity with the cost of our prepara- ton for their wars. They will have enough to do, with the wars them. selves. Besides. If We have to pay as we go we shall see to 1t that we get our moneys worth. Also. there is 8 healthy moral stimulus in paying our own taxes.
 These are stern times, and must be sternly met.

There are also colonies of the blind, and every care Is being taken of them, and as I said be they German, English, French, Austrian or Russian, they are all given the same attention and care and no race feeling Is manifested. Also saw pictures of movements of the al- lied forces, you very quickly see why the German arms have been so vic- torious. the movements show the lack of training of the Germans. and that organization is a great factor in this war.

Half the Town Included in the Cast

Wallin and Dan Church.

The Elks' Ministries are to be here
from Pocatello next Thursday to give
a musical extravaganza, whatever that
is, and a minstrel show advertised to
be first class and highly respectable.
The cast and chorus include about
seventy-five characters which, accord
ing to the last census, was more than
half the population Of that town. If
the town has grown any since those
coming may not be quite half the pop
ulation, but Judge Guheen says it in
cludes about all the adults and If all
are not included the others are hardly
worth mentioning.
This is obviously true, because they
are trying to make a comedian of Dan
Church. Dan just simply couldn't be
funny, unles she tried to be. Every
time he smiles it makes his face hurt.
It's a cinch they wouldn't use Dan il
they had any reserve material.
