NEW PEACE MOVES
(NeW York World(

Wilson May Make New Peace Move Soon''
 This headline item of the days news is perhaps comprehensive of the present situation and it's immediate probabilities words could make it.
 The President has been making new peace moves almost every day for just about four months. The successful floating of the First Liberty Loan of $200O 100000 was distinctly peace move. The regis tration of 10000000 and the present selection from the first draft still peace The increase of the Regular Army and National Guard to nearly 100000 men is peace mOve.k
 The seizure and outfitting of the German ships, the landing of military forces in France, the pa trols the emergency ship construction the mobiliza tion of railroad and other great industries for the $640 100000 devoted to vast aeroplane construction these all peace moves initiated and directed by the President and within few weeks. And the next new peace move is likely to end the interfering with the full force of the shipbuding program
 This is speed record of executive action in war unparalleled in our own other country. And it is all for peace. but an enduring peace and not the sham peace for which the German military oli- garchy strives.

WAS LEWISTON TO BLAME9-

Many members of the big crowd which assembled
in Lewiston last Thursday to hear a speech on the
war by the vice president of this country are very
much at a loss to know why Lewiston. charged
them an admission price for this privilege, which
they naturally presumed would be free. Vice
President Marshall is not making a tour Of the
country in behalf of any local institution or en-
terprise, but to lay before the citizens the magni-
tude of this war and encourage patriotism. His
mission is too serious and too big to be taken ad-
vantage of by local -committees.-Nez Perez
Herald. @ (
Those who brought Vice President Marshall to Mos
cow paid $500 in cash. It is presumed that Lewiston
raid a like amount. This made it necessary to charge
for tic privilege of hearing the vice president. The
understanding is that part of the $500 went to the vice
Iits-.e--t enc part to- the bureau in charge of his west
IN tour. 1t is well to have these facts understood in
order that the censure be placed where it belongs, if
here is to be censure at all.

USE SYSTEM In GIVING

We have not yet begun to give. AS the war pro-
more insistent.
Viewed at large, America has given royalty. She
has met every demand made upon her and has a good
margin to her credit over and above every demand. But
compared with the tremendous resources of the country,
com pared with the peoples ability to give, the contribu-
lions up to this time are as a drop in the bucket.
But there is another important phase of this prob
lem, one that appeals forcibly to all prudent men.
Evils are bound to spring from reckless and indiscrim-
mate giving. The tendency of human nature is to
throw money right and left when the treasury is full.
Come easy, go easy is a saying as old as the hills
and just as true now as it ever was. Prudent men who
give freely to all worthy war activities desire to know
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1917-11-24

how their money is used and they are entitled to this
information.
1t is fortunate that the management of the Red
Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and the other organizations work
ing along kindred lines has been placed in the hands of
well trained business men; men of character and high
standing; men who commend the confidence of the
whole country. No other agencies at work for the ma
ton today make greater demands in the way of ability,
training and high ideals.
But notwithstanding all this, there should be system
at the giving end as well as the distributing end. AS
the war grows in intensity there will be drives for
money every once in a while. The Red Cross will ask
for another great sum in the spring; the Y. M. c. A.
fund just raised is only intended to care for the work
until June; there will be Liberty Loan campaigns and
many others. AS these drives" are conducted at pres
ent, the burden of the work and the burden of the Civ
ing always fall upon the same circle of men and wom-
en-, while many outside the circle, who are better able
to work and to give, get off scot free.
This is all wrong. To get the best results and to be
fair and just to all, the community should be modified
so that all may exert their energy and influence in the
right direction and to the best possible advantage. Y

reason why they refused. 1t was
suggested at a meeting of those inter-

composed of business men, and neigh
bors of the men who refused to con-
tribute, should go in a body at an
early day and ascertain why the DON
