Since May 1. this year, the saloon
licenses in Chicago have been reduc-
ed 1877. The net loss in the last two
years is trifie more than 1000 Ii
censes, due, according to saloon keep
ers, to five principal causes: The
new federal tax. The drive of the
dries. The failure of the vets to
clean up the business. The extensive
sale of beer from wagons. The mob
ilization Of the national army.
Talking about the saloon reform
ing itself. and making the booze bus
mess respectable. is like asking a
vulture to live on grass, or hog to
forsake its wallow AS long as alco-
holic drinks intoxicate, and the
drinking of booze transforms man
hood into wretchedness and ruin, SO
long Is 1t waste of time to talk of
a decent saloon, or expect any other
fruit from the saloon than the crob
it has always produced.

The Republican editor was sur
prised to discover that Uncle Sam is
still running the risk of having ware
houses containing much grain de-
stroyed. for practically no guarding
Is as yet being done. The Orofino
Rochdale warehouse. still full Of
grain, was not guarded up to Satur-
day night. and no guarding was, we
are Informed, anticipated. OF course,
should anything happen, and the par
ty or parties caught, it would go hard
with them, but even hanging will not
bring back the food, once 1t is de-
stroyed. There is not grain Of
wheat to spare. 1t is more precious
than gold.

THE YOUTHS LAMENT.

I've Hooverized, economical,
Until ! fear I'm understood,
Our ration is so very small
My stomach's never filled at all.
Then hungrily I have to sit
And calmly watch my mother knit
1t seems to me our boys would be
Much happier across the sea
II we would cut the wash rags" out
Also the outing roundabout"
And send them in their far retreats
A roomy box entitled Eats"
On Sunday nights as stroll by
And see the bakeries filled with pie
And chocolate cakes and jelly tarts
the awful pang of hunger starts.
But oh. alas. When get home
Tired and weary from my roam
In greeted ere l reach the stoop
With noxious fumes of cabbage soup
If things don't change before I'm
dead
I kncy I'll be a cabbage head
And l had hoped to write a book
On How My Mother Used to Cook. "
War is inst as Sherman spoke,
He didn't say it for a joke;
And now since things are in a mess
An0 everyone Is IN distress,
l. think Ill take sneak some day
And go to Feejee-far away;
Get bunch OF Cannibais--
Teach them how to manage shells,
Then take them far across. the brine
And when they've reached the firing
line
I'll turn them loose and watch them
fight,
Each with coming appetite,
And l will bet before they're through
The war will end in German stew"
And when we land at home once
more
Hoover's reign will all be Ger:
Then show me one who e'er forsakes
The good old pie that mother makes.

the Tribune cannot show that the

and sane solution of great many OF
our food problems, also fuel and 9TH
er necessities of the people. What
we are learning now from necessity
ought to be appropriated and made a
part Of our national life when the
war is over. But will we? Or will
we go back to the old way of dog eat
dog? The Republican ventures the
guess that all of good we are now
learning by necessity will become
part of our system Of government,
and that to this extent we will have
appropriated much of the best in
Socialism. Christ taught the broth
erhood of man; war has compelled
us to put this principle into practice,
and in its working we see morality
attacked as never before; we see the
saloon, the immortality Of our cities,
put under the ban, and temperance.
sobriety and charity practiced as a
war measure.

That is right. Mr.. Grow, Let us
be too dirty, too prejudiced. too
measly mean to give Elk River credit
for its most splendid response every
time Uncle Sam has passed the hat
during the war. According to your
doctrine IL the timber companies do
their part they are crooked, and II
they don't they are crooked. But the
truth is that you are talking to
please the Red Card Socialists, the /.
w W.. the riff raft. the Hofstede
voters of this county. and you lie
like He'll and you know it, for you
know that your talk of timber con-
troll of Clearwater county Is as rot
ten and false as the piers your gang
put under the Orofino bridge.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1917-11-30

The best proof that Uncle SAM:
minimum price for wheat is all II
ought to be, is found in the fact tina,
the producer who raised a normal
crop made an enormous profit. All
average yield of most any crop is
worth about as much as the land II
grew on. Surely the government il

lions. And that the farmer has nc
kick coming it is only necessary to
realize the wealth that normal
crop would bring to the farmers
while the consumer. paying these
war prices, finds 1t hard to feed the
family on war. wages. But these
things will adjust themselves. Alb
normal prices for any line of bust
ness increases production that soon
brings overproduction and lowers
prices.

last week about the ruling effecting
the sale of sugar. He couldn't sec
that 1t made any difference In the
amount you could buy as you were
allowed Is pounds at one store and
could get rs pounds at another store
and so on. In making this ruling the
government went on the supposition,
no doubt. that patriotic American
citizens are not devoid Of a sense OF
honor. II the ruling does nothing
else 1t will bring the fact before the
people OF the nation as nothing else
would. that there Is q shortage In su-
gar At this time and that the proper
thing to do is to conserve the supply.

The purchasing power OF the dollar

There is no such thing as negative
patriotism. The man who is against
Liberty Bonds. who is unconcerned
about the Y. NJ C. A., which means
SO much to our soldiers in the tren-
ches. and who does not feel morally
bound to save food. is aiding and sup
porting the enemy. The woman who
is not giving of her time to Red Cross
work is also Stacker. and the names
such people should be posted conspic-
uously In public. Now is the time to
find out which side every one in the
United States is on.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1917-11-30

The banks of the country have. as
a rule. done great deal more tina 4
their just share in the matter of sub
scribing for Liberty Bonds. The gov
eminent expects the people to ap-
preciate this fact and those who have
not yet taken bonds to the extent of
their ability are 'expected to take a
bond from the banks. 1t will not be
necessary for the government to re-
sort to harsh means to force funds IL
loyal people do their reasonable part
freely. Go to your bank at once and
talk 1t over. That is the way to
show your loyalty.

re Washington Rem r,

George Washington, Ben Franklin
John Adams, and that French patriot
Lafayette, did not, when human lib
erty was attacked. stop and inquire
how much money 1t would make
them, or what It would cost them to
be patriots. These men offered their
all, and this generation has enjoyed
liberty that others purchased with
the greatest sacrifice human being

The Orof1no Tribune supported E.
Hofstede for county attorney, and
Hofstede Is an anarchist. and an

as far as 1t dare in defense of this

one word in condemnation of the
disloyal, reasonable differences and
acts Of Hofstede. That is the kind of
a democratic, paper the Orofino Trib-
une is. 1t was the Tribune and its
crowd that imposed Hofstede on this
