CAUSE FOR WORRY.

Idaho no longer has any militia.
The. Second Idaho infantry has been
Ifederalized, and all expenses of the
regiment are borne by the federal
government. In spite of this fact DR.
C, s. Moody. the adjutant general, still
draws his $166.66 per month. Major
IT B. Burns, DIR. Moodys assistant, is
paid a monthly salary of $125, and the
stenographer in the Office Is paid 500
per month The secretary of war for
Idaho, Joseph Hansen, is paid 5000
per month from the militia fund, and
meanwhile there is $4O,91S.43 on hand
and at the present rate of expenditure
there will be something like $4,000
left in the fund unless some new way
is found of spending the money. This
problem must occasion the admins
tration considerable worry, For a time
ii was planned to pay the expenses of
the Idaho state council of defense
from the militia fund, but when the
attempt was made to include the ex-
penses of the flying squadron with
those of the defense council such
storm of indignant protest arose that

THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN.


The thousands Of capable volunteers
organized for the drive for the second
Liberty loan are now ready to "go
over the top" They are going to car
ry the campaign to triumphant vic
tory, and so give Germany new and
tangible proof of our determination to
see the war through.
1t has been announced that ten mil
lion badges of honor will be on hand
to distribute to subscribers, each badge
denoting that the owner has invested
in Liberty bond and SO has helped
to finance the war. There were more
than four million subscribers to the
first Liberty loan and that issue was
more than one third oversubscribed.
| The first campaign was really one OF
education. The people of this country
have not been bond buyers, and more
over last May and June Americans had
scarcely. grasped the significance and
importance of our taking part in the
war.
| There is no maximum limit set on
at least three billion dollars or it will
be failure, but bonds will be issued
for half of the sum that is oversub
scribed. This practice has been in
universal use abroad since the first
year of the war, and the most notable
success along this line was that
achieved in England, where subscrip-
tons were sought for three billions,
but actually passed the five billion
mark.
The governments terms call for 2
per cent to be paid down when the
subscription blank is signed. IS per
cent on November Is, and then 40 per
cent on December Is and 40 per cent
more on January ia total of four
payments instead of the five allowed
on the first issue.
Most of the money raised will be
spent in this country. An inconsider-
able portion of the total will be spent
in France to fill some of the needs of
our troops now there, but even most
of the vast sums that we shall lend to
try for food and supplies

ALSO FOR THE GANpER.

Certainly 1t is that Germany Is in
the grip of debasing philosophy
philosophy that frankly teaches that
whatever is supposed to be "neces-
airy" Is right 1t is thus that the in
vasion Of Belgium, and all the crimes
committed by the Germans in that
unhappy country have been defended
and even justified. But 1t should be
remarked that the moral law is held
| by the Germans to be binding on all
other nations 1t was, for INSTANCE, a
monstrous thing that Great Britain
should inflict suffering on German
women and children by blockade.
But it was eminently proper for the
Germans, in the war of 1870, to starve
the women and children of Paris.
Even in this war the Germans had,
before it began. planned to blockade
Great Britain with submarines, and
early in the struggle the entrances of
British harbors were sown with Ger
man mines.
For years the Germans have been
taught to believe they were the only
people worth considering, and that all
other peoples were degenerate. And
there have been expressions of sur
prise that other countries did not see
that the murder and torture of their
citizens were in their own interest,
since the result would be to bring to
the survivors the blessings" Of Ger
man rule. Never in the history of the
world was there people that showed
such insufferable arrogance that did
not come to grief.

AMERICA TO RUSSIA IN movies"

There are now on the way to Rus
STA so films showing American re-
sources and war willingness. These
are intended to convince Russia to the
effect that we have plenty to fight
with and to feed the allies with. The
great film was made under the direc-
ton of the American navy league by
Mr.. Griffiths the man who made the
Birth of Nation" 1t will be exhib-
tied in all the Russian cities and in
army headquarters, wherever a screen
can be mounted. Fifty copies were
made and all of them are now on
their way. That they will have a re-
assuring and reviving effect need
not be pointed out The moving pic
ture is just what the Russian masses
need, for most of them can not read
their own language. Among other
things that the pictures will do is to
convince Russians that the German
have been lying to them
about America. And when the Rus
sian finds out that he has been lied to
the man who did the lying will have
to look out for himself.

IA FoLLETTE's DEFENSE.

Senator LaFollette's attempt in the
senate to explain his conduct and his
speeches was an utter failure and was
bound to be failure because there
can be no explanation or excuse for
lack of patriotism in any American
citizen when America is at war, says
the Anaconda Standard. Least of all
can lack of patriotism be condoned in
one who has been honored by his fell
low citizens with election to high Off
cial position.
The Wisconsin senator may have
been justified in opposing war before
we entered the war; he can not be
justified in opposing the war now that
We are in it. His province is not to
criticise, but to help. When he can do
nothing for his country in this time of
great need and peril but find fault
then he is proving himself failure as
an official, a. failure as patriot, a
failure as a man.
The government is entitled to the
loyal support of Senator EaFollette
and of every member Of congress and
Of every citizen. Does the senator
want Germany to win the war and
America to be defeated? That is the
natural conclusion to be drawn from
lis speeches and from his conduct in
and hindering war legisla-
ion in the halls Of congress and thus
living encouragement to the nations
nemies. q
The American people expect the ut
lost loyalty on the part of all gov q
officials, high and low. The G
eople have right to expect such t
yalty and such loyalty they will
I'VE or they will find out the reason
by they do not get It and settle with =
the patriotic slackers. Il

BUT ONE THING TO 90.

What are you doing to straighten
out this world struggle for democracy?
Are you doing your share by sabscrib-
ing for Liberty bonds?
Today all classes of our people are
enjoying unusual prosperity. Condi-
tions at the opening of the present
war are very different from those of
1861.
Today we can better afford to pay
the price of Liberty than at any, other
period of our history.
We must not assume that the gov
eminent" is some far off thing, with
unlimited duty to protect our rights
and unlimited means to perform this
duty. The national treasury Is not
like the town pump upon which all
may draw and to which none need
contribute Our government is the
people; 1t Is to uphold this, idea that
we have entered upon the war. Our
congress has very sensibly voted to
|expend large sums at once so that the
war may be brought to successful
and early termination. This Is not
only a wise economy but viii result
in saving many human lives,
TO raise this money the government
has issued Liberty bonds for which
we must subscribe. These bonds bear
4 per cent rate of interest They
mature in twenty-five years. Back
of them stands the entire wealth Of
our United States,
AT the present rate of interest the
Liberty bonds afford an opportunity
for safe investment with reasonable
profit. But even If they did not, in
the words of Jay Cook, what we
need now Is patriotism and not money
making In this second Liberty loan
of 1917 the United States has COM
bined both.
What are you doing to make the
loan a success. There Is but one
thing to do--invest in the bonds
do it now.

YUKON SCENE OF GOLD FIND.
New Camp on Seymour and Kitchener

A new gold camp may be opened in
Yukon shortly. Arrivals from the vi
entity of Selkirk report that mucl,
stalking has been done on the newly
discovered placer creeks of Seymour
and Kitchener and tributaries The
locality has been christened unofficial
~ the Kitchener creek strike. The
merits of the creeks remain to b. de-
termined, but the pros%ects are said
to be most encouraging.
Most of the stalking has been done
on Seymour creek, which is ur ler-
stood to have been staked distance
of eight miles. Kitchener creek has
been staked to some extent, and more
stalking is under way.
Gravel Yields Gold.
One of the stakers claims to nave
gotten 2-cent pans in the gravel along
seymour for two to four miles. No
one is reported having reached bed
rock, so the depth is not known.
The nearest point on the new creeks
to the Yukon river is about Is miles

south from the old Dalton trail. They
are tributaries of Big creek and flow
