The Lie
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Craue)

The other week | saw two shows-one
a play called The Fugitive" written by
John Galsworthy.an performed by En-
lily Stevens the other photoplay Gods
Man with Bronson Howard as author
and H. b. Warner as leading man.
They were both eXquisltely perform
ed, interesting, even gripping. They
both were plays with message. You
felt there was a purpose, gospel of
some sort in the authors mind he want
ed to set forth.
And they were both lies.
Not nice. entertaining mildly diverting
and tonic lies. but plausible. dangerous.
and vicious lies.
The lie in the Galsworthy play con-
sisted in the theory that there is no
chance for woman to succeed or 10 be
happy if she deserts husband that is
offensive and tries to make her way by
her own resources. and that all she can
do in such case is TO sell her body. The
world, the plain inference from the play
was viii not tolerate pretty woman
sacrifices her virtue
OF course a beautiful woman is likely
20 be tempted, and the road to hell viii
be made easier for her than the path
Of decency. But she does lot have TO
yield To say that she does is TO re-
peat the everlasting whine Of the weak
and morbid This world has plenty of
prizes for the charming woman who is
loyal true and fine But she has to fight
for them, like the rest of us.
The trouble with Mr.. Galsworthy's
heroine is not the wicked. respectable
folk that conspired to crush her, but it
is that she is a combination fool and
weakling That kind of woman has
no business rebelling. The place for the
sloppy, sef-pitying sou is inside the
gates of responsibility. When such little
lambs get out of the pasture the wolves
usually get them.
Mr. Warner attempted 10 show us that
to be helpful straight and generous is to
be crucifed. Maybe so. But We cannot
resist the feeling that the young gentle
man portrayed was not Gods Fool" but
just common garden fool II he had
mixed few cents worth Of ordinary in
telHgence with his large amount Of
grand and noble ideals he would not have
come 70 grief
People are very ready TO indict virtue
and kindness and justice for the defects
Of their minds and wills. There's moth
ing the matter with the eternal verities
Of virtue, but Weddings who think they
can afford cheap and easy road TO hap
piness are doomed TO disappointment
To be good successfully you have to
be great.
Let the little souls stick TO the conven-
lions they were made for just such.

DEMOCRACY'S DUTY TO IT'S DEFENDERS

The plan for furnishing our soldiers and sailors life
and indemnity insurance and allowances to dependent
families, embodied in a bill now pending in congress,
seems to meet with the cordial appreciation of the peo-
people and the press of the country.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger says:
When we draft the wage Garner says Secretary
McAdoo, we call not only him but the entire family to
the flag This is the fundamental argument for the war
insurance bill now before congress. 1t is the absence of
any provision for those left behind which leads so many
who would gladly give themselves to their country to ask
exemption.
"When military service is obligatory other things are
obligatory, too. THE national conscience as the secre-
tary put it, will not permit Americas soldiers and their
dependents to go unprovided with everything that a just,
generous, and noble people can do to compensate them
for the sufferings and the sacrifices exacted from them.
That has never been the American way.
THE aim of the war-insurance bill is to do justice to
the soldiers without doing injustice to the taxpayers"

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT MOVES

There was a settled conviction in the minds Of all
men who had been face to face with the ]. W. w. nuis-
ance for years, and had suffered from it's operations, that
the real solution of the problem lay in the hands of the
federal government.
By the utmost stretch of power the situation was
cleaned up in Latah county, but no permanent solution
of The problem was reached by simply rounding up and
informing the members of the organization.
1t was argued from the beginning by students of the
situation that the federal government must act-that
the activities of the 1. w. W., especially in this time of
war, were directed against the laws and the welfare
of The nation,-that the problem was national In it's
scope.
Ii was argued further that it was futile and unfair to
round up and punish the men in the bottom strata of
the /. w. w. organization while permitting the leaders,
the men really responsible for the deviltry, to go scot
free. Of course ignorance of the law excuses no man,
and the poor dupes of the l. w. w. agitators must be
held responsible for their individual acts; but the moral
responsibility for these acts rests more directly on men
like Haywood, Rowan and the other conspirators who
teach, inspire and drive the ignorant to commit crimes
that they themselves are too cowardly and too astute
10 commit personally.
1t is with a great feeling of relief, therefore, that
the whole northwest notes that the federal authorities
have at last awakened to a proper sense of their duty
in this matter. The l. W. w. leaders are now being
rounded up; their nests of sedition, anarchy and treason
are being cleaned up; and the hope is held out that
the organization is to be completely broken up or
brought within the proper limitations of law and order.
There was no other course for the federal authorities
to pursue. The only serious regret is that they did not
act sooner. But now that they have put their hands
10 Tho n1ow If iS the earnest PRAYER of every natriotic
citizen that there will be no let-up until it is established
beyond all question just how far men in this republic
may go in flouting all law and all authority. This is a
matter that goes to the core OF free government.
In these critical days in the life of the republic it
will be far better to err on the side of safety and order,
rather than on the side of anarchy and crime.

THE VIRTUE OF PAYING CASH

There was never a time when the virtue of paying
cash shown out as it does today when the whole bust
ness world is in turmoil. Take the matter of school
books and school supplies as an illustration. The adj
vance in prices to the dealers on books, tablets, paper,
pencils and other items ranges from 80 to 250 per cent.
To absorb these radical advances and still keep business
running without an upheaval is a serious problem for
the average dealer. Could the business be reduced to a
cash basis, with the cash paid for all retail purchases
-
thus enabling the dealer to pay spot cash for all he buys,
there would be a radical saving all around and many a
merchant would be saved from walking the f DOR at night.
What is said here as to school supplies will apply with
equal force to all other lines of business. 1t is the best
time in the world to pay cash and get the full benefit of
all that it means.

BAND CONCERTS IN OGDEN

A friend sends The a clipping from tn
Ogden, Utah, Examiner showing how that city has solve
the problem of open-air band concerts for the summer
The Examiner says:
During the past summer, for the autumn months
are now here according to the calendar, Ogden
citizens have had a series of band concerts, given
at both Glenwood and City Hall parks under direc-
ton of the Ogden City commission. A few concerts
have been given during previous years but private
contributions have been essential to their success.
For 1917, the municipality set a precedent which is
not likely to be cast aside.
Thousands of Ogden people have taken delight in
the music that has been given by the Ogden band
and many citizens of other cities have Joined in the
throngs at both parks. Appreciation of the city's spirit
in providing these concerts has been expressed by
these audiences, who have realized that through the
development of Ogden's parks and their use for the
peoples pleasure the municipality is taking proper
steps toward the development of wholesome COM
mrnity spirit.
This plan is worthy of consideration here in Moscow
where the same problem is presented. :

3. Don't ship any frost-damaged po-
