"HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR

Democratic workers had been op-
Grating, with more or less temporary
success, among the republican wo-
men with the argument that Wilson
had kept the country out of war.
Whatever effect that misstatement
may have had has been dissipated
by facts to which the intelligent
women of Idaho have not closed
their eyes.
These women understand that if
there was ever danger of the United
States going to war with Europe
that there is no such danger today
and that the prospect of war with
any European nation is about as
remote as the north star no matter
who may be president. European
countries have their hands full of
war and after the present conflict
has been disposed of, they will be
busy for many years in the process
of reconstruction.
This leaves only Mexico to be
considered. For all practical pur-
poses we are at war with Mexico
today. The Mexican people hate
us and take no pains to conceal it.
This is due entirely to President
Wilson's poor judgment and vacila-
ton. He made a serious mistake
when he sent troops to Vera Cruz
for the sole purpose of getting
Huerta."
This country had no right to in
terfere with the internal affairs of
Mexico. If, instead of doing that
President Wilson had demanded pro-
lection of American citiztns as his
predecessors had done-well the
Mexicans always understand the
meaning of declaration of that
kind and would have been quick to
act towards Americans as they had
toward Englishmen and Germans
and there would have been no diff
ficulty.
President Wilson has never yet
made such a demand.
When we sent troops into Mexican
territory at Vera Cruz that was
an act of war against Mexico and
all Mexican factions so recognized
it. But for the fact that Mexico
was so weakened there would have
been an actual condition of war;
and in the hearts of the Mexican
people there is war today and Presi-
dent Wilson is solely responsible
for bringing it about.
In this connection, there is severe
criticism of the president for re-
tanning the Idaho troops on the Dor
der while having sent home south
ern and eastern troops who have
not served so long.
The Idaho boys on the border
are not afraid to fight and are will
ing to fight for the protection Of
American lives and American hon
or, but they, and those interested
in them, resent their retention OF
the border merely as herders.

Efficiency and Economy Assured

In no office in the county can
efficiency and economy be followed
to better advantage than that of the
county treasurer. Here we need a
man trained to accurate and pains
taking work who will give the pub
lie a full days time for every days

no mistakes in his work. He should
be honest above any suspicion.

promise Of two years ago to save
the state a million dollars-or was
it two million. If Alexander had

To Voters of Boundary County

We, the undersigned, candidates
on the republican ticket for COM
missioners of Boundary county, deny
absolutely that there is any particle
of truth in the malicious story which
is being circulated to the effect that
if elected we will create the office
of a general county road overseer
and that d. c. McColl will be Sc
lected to fill such an office. We
challenge any person or group of
persons to allege that we ever made
or intimated that we proposed to
follow such a procedure. We dc
not believe that there is any need
for the creation of such an office
If elected we will personally look
after the roads of our respective
districts and see to it that they are
kept in good repair.

The democrats in the state and
county are urging the voters to for
get partisanship. The democrats had
the first chance to practice nom
partisanism. Did Governor Alexan-
der practice it when he appointed
state officers or when he appointed
officers for Boundary county? Did
the appointed officials of Boundary
county practice -partisanship
when they secured their deputies
from outside Boundary county and
even outside the state?

in regard to other officers.

Why the cocoanut Hns Evos.

Who can tell why the cocoanut has
three eyes? Luther Burbank explains
II this way;
Cocoanuts generally grow at the
edge of the sea or rivers. The nuts are
surrounded with thick husk with a
waterproof covering, so TINT when they
drop into the water they will float. In
floating the three eyes are always on
top.
Once In the water nature gets busy.
From one of the eyes there comes n
shoot, which develops broad leaves
like sails. The wind catches the sails
and watts the cocoanut on journey
sometimes many miles long. As 1t sails
the other two eyes develop roots,
which at first grow among the lbcrs
Of the woody husk.
In good season the cocoanut is swept
upon another shore, perhaps on apoth-
or island. The roots embed themselves
in the soft earth, the sail becomes the
trunk, and cocoanut palm is growing
where none grew before.

Queer Names of Flowers.

The names Of some of our pretricst
flowers are so queer that they Scent
amusing TO us. Nasturtium, for eXaEi-
pie, comes from the Latin word meaa-
l"c twisted nose Nerbcna is from
the Latin for "twig,n and lavender is
derived from the Latin word lavare, TO
wash, and is really the same word as
laundry" Lavender probably got its
name because it is put away with new
~ washed clothes.
Cornnower undoubtedly gets It's
name because it grows among the rows
of corn. Goldilocks looks like little
yellow head. Honeysucklc Is one of
the sweetest blossoms and one Of the
easiest from which bees get their
honey.
Ancmone is our wind flower Its
name comes from the Latin word
anemos. which means wind" and the
anemone is really wind flower, grow
ing best in exposed, windy places,
Orchid is named for the Greek word
orchis, which means bag" Orchids
always have curious little bags.-Kan-
