it would be a mistake to under
f our task"
Former Premier Viviani has declared in Paris
that although victory is certain, it will require
hard and prolonged efforts to break Prussian mil
itarism."
Winston Churchill urges that Great Britain
be organized for a long war and that food supplies
and prices be put on a war basis. He declares
that there is no certainty of a speedy ending of
the conflict and makes the astonishing statement
that the German armies are more numerous and
better equipped than ever.
In the meantime the Allied drive on all fronts
is making only d~esultory progress. Allied losses
are high and the military experts of The New
York Times, commenting on the British loss of
$4,000 men in August, says, "at first glance this
loss is staggering and at best it is a very serious
matter" and Gin view of it, it is but natural to
question whether it would be possible politically
or physically for the British army to continue
along their present lines"
In spite of the experts fears, however. the
Allies on the western front resumed their attacks
last week and made o progress. In fact, this
same expert has since declared that no doubt can
exist as to the continuance of the great drive.

NO RAILROAD STRIKE.

The country is well pleased over the settle
ment of the railroad situation, even if Congress-
did step in and pass the very law which the labor
ers demanded. The critics of this action main.
tain that the eight-hour day was not involved, but
that the real question was an advance in wages,
because the men wanted full pay of the present
ten-hour day for their new eight-hour day. But.
they would work, if necessary, just as long as
they did before, if the railroads paid them for
their overtime.
This in essence is correct, but the principle of
the eight hour day is upheld when it is made the
standard of measurement of a days work for
which a laborer is to be paid a days wages. The
question of overtime is another matter, and can
be attended to by the worker and his employer, if
they are both DESTROYS of cooperation together.
We are glad that the labor has gained its point,
but we are rather dubious about the influence of
the example set in allowing the labor leaders to
have their way without recognizing in full the
principal of arbitration. Their failure to do so. rem.
ders it imperative that Congress pass a compul.
sorry arbitration law for the settlement of indus
trial disputes which affect the public interest to
a great extent, as in public service corporations.

and then advertise it in this paper, we venture
the prediction that at least half of the people in

many Of them will buy just because they happen

a store that is worth going to, but the merchant
and his own goods must do the selling. Step up,

BoRAH SAYS HUGHES PREFERS
DEFEAT RATHER THAN SUR.
RENDER TO THE BOSSES.

At Caldwell the other day Senator
Borah made the following brief re-
marks in response to a demand for a
speech:
my friends, l had not intended to
make any speeches in this part of
Idaho at this time, excepting the one
for which / am billed tonight at
Weiser.
las you know, l am speaking in
this campaign under the auspices of
the national republican committee and
my time is fully taken up. l was glad,
however, that it was made possible
for me to again visit my nome state
even for a short period and l as
sure you it Is always one of the great
pleasures of my life to be permitted
to again mingle with my fellow citi-
zens at home and to extend to them
the hand of greeting and fellowship.
1T is not possible in the few NOM
ents that l will be here to indulge in
any extensive remarks, although /
nope later in the campaign to be able
to return and to address you people
more at length.

in politics at the present moment and
you naturally expect me, II say
anything, to say something along pol
itical lines. and I will devote just a
few minutes to that subject, yet with
out attempting to discuss either ma
tional or state issues, which would be
impossible within the time.
Il am free to confess to you that /
have not always been satisfied with
the conditions existing in both the
great political parties. Those at the
head Of these parties have at times
been under the domination of influ-
ences that were, in my opinion, inim-
ical to the welfare of the people of
this country

arisen men who have the moral cour-
age to combat those influences and to

condition in the United States; and !
want to say to you. my friends. that
there is nothing that has occurred In
American politics in some time that
has given me greater hope of puri-
fication Of American politics than the
nomination of the man who is today
the standard bearer Of the republican
rarty--charles f. Hughes.
"As a citizen of New York and as
governor of that great state he was
most effective in fighting those inter-
ests that have exerted an unwhole-
some influence upon our politics. You
will remember his courageous attack
upon corrupt insurance company
methods which resulted in a COM
plete overturning of an old and most
damnable system and in the guaran-
/ ty of a fair deal to stockholders and
absolute protection to policy holders.
Il have not time to go into the de-
tails of his public career, but | want
to call your attention to one fact that
]
splendid moral fiber of this man.
You all know that in this campaign
New York Is a pivotal state. Many
believe, and / agree with them, that
as New York goes, so will go the
presidential election. 1t is important,
therefore, to control that state and a
great deal of attention is beang paid
to it. but notwithstanding this situa-
ton, it was nov "a hours after Mr..
Hughes had accepted the nomination
that he dropped overheard one of the
most powerful and resourceful polit-
ical bosses in this nation-Wm.
Barnes, Jr, of New York. He does
not approve of Mr.. Barnes and his
methods and would rather be defeat
ed through the loss of New York, by
antagonizing Mr. Barnes, than to be
elected by his support, carrying with
| it surrender to the methods en-
ployed by that powerful political boss.
"That was courageous thing to
do my fellow citizens, and clearly in
dicateS the hlgh character or ad-
ministration you may expect if Mr.,
Hughes shall be elected.
Wilson Welcomes Support of Bosses.
But have you heard of President
Wilson dropping out of his organiza-
ton Tom Taggart, the democratic
boss OF Indiana, and owner of that
great gambling establishment Of
4 French Lick Springs?
Have you ever heard of President
Wilson dropping from his organiza-
tion Roger Sullivan the great demo-
cratic boss of Illinois, or have you
heard of President Wilson dropping
from his organization Murphy, the
Tammany boss? You have not. 1t
requires the hghest type of moral
courage to antagonize such powerful
political influences, and few men pos
sess it, Mr. Hughes possesses it and
he uses it,"

THE GREAT PLAINS.
Geologic Study Reveals Animal Life
Countless Ages Ago.

The great plains are smooth tree
less slopes that extend eastward from
the foot of the Rocky mountains into
central Kansas as well as into ad-
Joining states on the north and south
Their western margin has an altitude
of almost 5000 feet near the Rocky
mountains, from which they make a
practically continuous descent to an
altitude of 1000 to 1900 feet in cen
trail Kansas, where they merge into
rolling prairies. The plains are
trenehed by the relatively shallow
valleys OF many rivers and creeks
flowing to the east, but extensive
areas of the remarkably smooth tab
ular surfaces remain between these
valleys.
The major part of the great plains
is covered by sands, gravels and loans
of late tertiary age (about a million
years old), varying in thickness from
so to 200 feet in greater part and in
general lying on relatively smooth
surface of the older rocks. The ma
terials were brought from the Rocky
mountain region by streams which ran
In various courses across the region,
sometimes cutting valleys, but mostly
depositing sediments. The time was
one of relatively arid conditions,
probably in general similar to the
present, the streams bringing out of
the mountains a larger amount of
sediment than they could carry
through to the great rivers on the
east The process was long contln-
ued and 1t is likely also that at times
the stream grades were somewhat
less than they are at present, so that
the deposits were not to any great eX-
tent deeply trenched by small creeks,
as they are now. 1t is known from
the fossil bones found in the deposits
that the region was inhabited by num-
erous land animals of a sort very diff
ferent from those of the present era
There were rhinoceroses, camels, g.
toed horses. elephants and bisons Of
peculiar types. as well as great
many species of smaller animals. At
certain places in the region large
numbers of bones of these strange an
finals have been found and dug out,
and many of these bones are now
carefully preserved IN museums.
