have employed a man to put the
potatoes in and stay on the job

DEDUCTIvE CRITICISM.

Custom and habit die hard. But
the exigencies of human affairs
sometimes demand that, however
painful the demise, die they must.
The present world war has been
the cause of the painful or painless
end of many American customs,
and many more are slated for the
limbo of things that were.
One peculiarly American Gus
tom, that has heretofore been re-
garded as almost sacred right, is
being privileged to criticise
those in authority. Public men
have heretofore regarded them
selves as fair targets for every
mans verbal artillery, and hence
have paid very little attention to
it in the main.
Under present conditions, how
ever, the American people are call
ed upon to forego-at least for the
time being-this great American
privilege; not at all because of its
effects upon the subjects Of their
censure, but because of its destruc-
tive effects upon the cause that at
this time should be nearest the
heart of every true son Of Ameri- |
ca-the winning of the war for the |
freedom of the earth.
During the six months that have |
elapsed since this country entered |
the lists against the central pow
ers of Europe, scarcely a public
official has escaped this criticism.
In many instances the effect has
been little short of disastrous to
the plans Of the government. Not
because Of any direct effect upon
the officials themselves, but from
the simple fact that no man or set
Of men are proof against opposi- h
ton. Even the most flagrantly 4

thy official will to a great extent
destroy his influence, undermine
his labors and render abortive his
best efforts.
If this country wishes an OBJ
iect lesson of the deadly effects
Of divided councils, she has but to
look at Russia. That the Russian
people were justified in deposing
the autocracy, none win deny.
But when the Car relinquished
the reinS of government, it was
to a divided and disorganized peo-
plea people with no unity of
thought or unanimity of aims. All
on earth that the KerenSky gov
eminent lacks is the moral support
of the people. But without this
it is impotent, and chaos reigns.
Do the American people want
chaos in this country? Jlnlieens-
ed criticism and ill-considered at
tacks upon those in authority are
powerful instruments to bring
about Just this condition.
President Wilson has been en-
trusted with the destinies of the
American people. Most of those
under him in authority are men of
his choosing and answerable to
him and to the people, as he is
also answerable to the people. At
tacks upon his lieutenants are like /
so many sticks of dynamite to the !
foundation of the American cause.
They give encouragement to the
and create an atmosphere
at home that can have but one eff
fect-to tie his hands and render
futile his efforts.

good one in this instance s'Never

THE LABOR PROBLEM.

AT u o'clock ON the night of
September 8, the manufacture of
intoxicating beverages was ended
in the United States. Distilleries
all over the land drew their fires
and closed their doors. Thous-
ands of men were put out of en-
ployment, and millions of dollars
worth of equipment must be di-
verified to other uses. And in con-
neetion with it all there is one sig
nifieant fact that must strike us
foreefully when we come to con-
slider it.
just one instance: Peoria, H..
a large whisky center, announces
that the / 800 or 1000 men thrown
out by the closing of the distiller
les viii be taken care of at once in
other lines of work-that she has
need for the services of every one
of them. Similar word comes from
many other whisky producing cen
tiers.
When great industry such as
this can cease all at once without |
any appreciate disturbance of la
Dor conditions, the fact should set
us to thinking deeply.
What of the supply of labor in
the year that is before us? It is
perfectly apparent that the great
business of the country must be
kept going if this country is to
finance the allied countries, as she
has undertaken. With more than
a million of her best workmen
drawn to the cOlOrs, a re-dediea-
ton to labor is imperative on the
part of that class that from one
cause and another has heretofore |:
dropped out of the ranks of the
workers.
It is alright to say to the farm
er, "You must produce greater
crops, but if he hasn't the force
to manage his teams and nipple
ments we are asking Of him an i'm
possibility. And so in all other
lines.
There is but one answer: all
who can, must work, not because
they need the proceeds of their la
Dor, but because the country needs
their labor.
There is absolutely no room in
this country now for the men who
can work, yet who win not.
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1917-10-04

There may be counties in the
state that need the North and
South Highway worse than Lewis
county does, for most Of them
have not maintained their roads
as this county has, but there are
none that would appreciate the
state improvement more nor keep
their connecting roads nearer up
than this county would and has
done for the past several years.
It would be an oversight that
would discredit Idaho if the North
and South road were diverted
from its natural course through
the central part Of Lewis county.

Every assistance rendered our
government in this war will mean
the earlier return of our soldier
boys to their homes and peace.
Every word or act against the
government, means just that much
longer service for them on the fir
ing line; every moment there
means the loss of so many lives.
Be careful to do and say only
things that help, as you value the
lives Of the brave boys we are
sending out to fight our fight.
Keep these points in your mind.
