1T ISN'T NECESSARY

Each of us thinks the other fell
low has some queer ways and so we
have. The Quaker illustrated fea-
ture of human nature when he said
to his wife, Martha, the whole
who'd is getting queer, but thee and
me, and thee is little queer"
The show that comes to town
soliciting the patronage Of the public
and cracks funny jokes to make peo-
pie laugh, has no license to inject
a joke that gives offense, and when
they make cruel thrusts at worthy
citizens, the audience would do them
selves credit to receive such things
with profound silence. 1t is the
mark of scrubs to applaud when good
breeding suggests reproof. Too
many of our local people are ever
ready to applaud SANDER, help cir
culate it, and aid the character as
sassin. 1t helps to drive good peo-
pie away from the town, and the
Lord knows we haven't any to spare.

WHEN THE WAR
is OVER

Many questions arise as to what
will be done about certain things
when the war closes. When the rep
resentatives of the great powers get
together to agree upon terms and to
offer or to enforce certain PROPOSE
lions that could not be agreed upon
in times of peace.
When our own Civil War began
the question of slavery out-weighed
everything else, yet the liquor ques-
tion was coming rapidly to the front.
1t was set back and forgotten and 1t
took more than half century to
get it up to the front rank for con-
sideration.
| Before the present war began in
| Europe there were many questions
under consideration besides univer-
sal peace, one of them being the mat
| ter of abandoning the present calen-
dar and establishing a new one with
four weeks in every month, and one
worldwide holiday to complete the
year. Under that system every month
starts on Sunday and ends with Sat
urday night. Every year starts on
Sunday and Christmas eve comes Sat-
urday night.
The adoption of the universal cal
endar would simplify matters de-
cidedly for each nation and would
remove the great barriers that stand
between peoples of different tongues
who have to trade together but have
different ways of reckoning time.
AS much was said for the Metric
system for measurements a hundred
years ago, but it has been slow of
adoption Notwithstanding what has
been said in it's favor. AS much was
said in favor of the 24-hour clock,
and it was adopted about 20 years
ago with such disastrous results that
it was discarded, and all railroads
went back to the a. m. and p. m.
system. 1t looks sometimes as if the
Divine hand had given us as many
complications as possible to keep us
busy and active, and whenever things
get to running smoothly something is
injected into human affairs to start
some new activities regardless of re-
suits.

UNFORTUNATE LOSS
OF STOCK

The Republican again calls atten-
ton to the unfortunate loss of valu-
able stock among the farmers, due
partly, If not entirely, to lack of
system and forethought. In the
Springfield report in this issue is an
account of the loss of some cattle
by following a plan that proved
against cow nature and brought a
loss. Another item showed the loss
of cow and calf at birth of the
little one, and both animals appar-
emily died thru lack of care and the
protection which the owner was in
duty bound to give them while he
held title. At McDonaldville several
horses have died on account of dis
order supposed to be due to the lack
OF a balanced ration. A straight
diet OF alfalfa hay is given as the
cause. Farm lecturers have been
telling us for years that animals must
have variety of food or they suf-
fer; that horse cannot live by hay
alone, and be as strong and healthy
as he would be If he had a ration
or grains and hay. But farmers have
been neglecting to attend farm lee
lures in this county and real estate
men have been publishing for 20
years that alfalfa is such wonderful
food, 1t combines all the food ele-
ments of-and then they name a
number of grains and grasses. It is
time for farmers to get that all out
of their heads and to remember that
alfalfa is about as good for horse
as bread and beans are for man;
very good In their place, but their
place is in connection with a variety
Of other foods.

ROSE PEOPLE
LOOKING AHEAD

"Hand it to the Rose people," is
our latest thought about those who

help beautify it. Read what is said

issue about the new amusement hall,

tify them. Let the good work pros

DANGER ALL
ABOUT

A noted French engineer believes
the Germans cannot take Verdun and
reach Paris; but a great many i'm
possible war feats have recently been
accomplished.
Every cloud over London seems to
have a Zeppelin lining.
Henry Ford says we are now con-
fronted by the danger of militarism.
Well, what's one more danger in
these dangerous times? Henry also
says that for a hundred years, with
Europe fully armed and strong, we
have been safe. And so it is true
that men have lived longer than that
on the edge of volcano before she
finally exploded.

A CONTEST THAT
WAS TAME


A few weeks ago The Gem State
Rural, of Caldwell, Idaho, offered q
prize of $40 for the best letter on
who should be the next governor, and
spread the announcement quite gen.
orally over the state. They also aent
a coupon in blank inviting as many
as cared to, to offer their straw vote
on the several candidates already an
nounced or likely to announce.
In commenting on the interest
manifested In the contest, Editor
GIBSON says:
"The result of this poll was
very dispointing. Only 35 of the
1876 papers addressed replied at
all, and II of the IS advised us
that they did not care to express
an opinion at this time. Evil

We must do more thinking in con-
nection with domestic animals and
remember that they are very much
like people only more hardy. If we
put ourselves in the animals place
and study the situation from that
viewpoint, we shall see where plans
can be improved upon.

MANY CAN
START

Editor Dillingham;, of The Mackay
Miner, announces that his printing
plant is so complete that he could
by the addition of one man and with
out adding any machinery, start a
daily the size of the Capital News.
Mackay ought to feel proud of a
printing office so complete and should
have all of it's printing done at home.
There are good many printing Of
fees in the state that could start
a newspaper as big as The Capital
News, but some of us would have a
duce of a time to keep it going. We
could get out the first issue if given
time enough, but the others would
follow somewhat tardily. However,
we take off our hat to Mackay; it
doesn't do any harm.
Semi-Municipal
Plant
Speaking of Mackay, their press
has in days gone by said a great
deal about their power plant in the
canyon and left the impression that
it was municipal or semi-municipal.
Inquiry discloses the fact that the
town owns an interest in it, and that
the town has some street lamps con-
nected with it. Service has been un-
satisfactory but they have recently
put in more machinery and it is bet
ter now. AS the town grows they
can put in more dams, install more
machinery and generate more light.
Mackay is very favorably situated
in relation to water falls, and If they
will render a statement some day as
to the amount invested, the cost of
maintenance, the depreciation and
the amount of energy delivered for |
use, the public will be interested to
know how much that makes it cost
per kilowat hour. That is where all
the interest centers, finally.
Was q Poor
Collector
In this world man figures on
how things ought to come out and
they do not always come up to ex-
pectations. Editor Dillingham; re-
ports that out of 900 subscribers for
1915 for which he had right to ex-
pect a minimum of 1900 to be paid
in subscriptions for maintenance of
the business, he received only 1882,
or an average of $36 a month. A
lot of them had been paying him in
smiles and appreciation, and he had
deposited them at the bank until
the man at the window would not
let him check against them any long .
er and something had to be done. ,
The editor sent out statements to a Z,
lot of his smiling, appreciative pat ;
rons for little dribs amounting in the :
total to a thousand dollars, and in {
the whole course of the month 48 :
Of them responded with the coin. !,
The total amount paid in by them !;
covered the postage on the bills he :
had sent out and some besides, :
he applied that in payment /;
If what he had earned delivering the =
newspaper. During the year he hir- y
I'd a couple of collectors to go out :,
Ind present claims in person and :,
Wait for the money, and they did not y
collect enough to pay the livery bills y
md wages for the collectors. That :,
lind of experience would make some =
ditors consider changing to the cash :,
'asis, but then Mackay was in a wet y
ounty and now that it has gone dry, 4
may be all right. II

SUNDAY THEATERS
AGAIN

The city of Boise is considering
the matter of opening the theaters
on Sunday and last week an ordin-
ance giving such PERMISSION was
placed upon its first reading, there
having been sufficient number of
petitioners fling such request. The
petition was at first attacked on the
ground that a majority of the per-
sons who had signed it were not legal
voters, and on checking them UP it
was found to be true that about two
thirds of them were not voters, but
there are still enough to make 1t a
legal petition in being q majority OF
those who voted at the last election.
