WHEN THEY ARE OURS!

We skim over the headlines of the
newspapers and don't bother much
about the bloody battles being fought
in Europe because we can't pronounce
the name of the cities anyway, and
most of us haven't the remostest idea
where they are,
A single murder in the home town
makes a greater impression on our
minds than the killing of hundred
thousand men in the trenches.
The hundred thousand don't disturb
us very much, because we think
they're lot of people way off in
Europe.
But If one Of the hundred thousand
were ours it would oe different
wouldn't t.! :,
And perhaps it is going to take just
this thing to arouse us from our
lethargy.
The United States is at war with
Germany-and there are certain very
specific things which every citizen of
this country must do if we are to win
What these things are is constantly
being told to us in the daily newspa-
pers; they are being proclaimed from
the pulpit and in the public halls and
the government is trying its best to
make each of us see our responsible
ties.
If we were to lose this war, it
would be terrible thing to have you
realize that you had not done your
share to win.
What about it? What are YOU d.
ing to help win the war?

MAY MEET LATE

1t is doubtful whether the state
board Of :. equalization, scheduled to
meet August 7, can get down to bust
ness on that date, as many of the
county boards have not yet compiet-
ed their readjustment. A very heavy
increase in the assessed valuation of
the state, must be made if the admin
istration is to meet rapidly mounting
expenses, including such unanticipat-
ed emergency appropriations as the
100000 recently distributed to men,
bers of the first regiment as bonus
for their service on the Mexican Dor
der, and number of others which
have been found Decessary. = -

and problems which enter in are diff
ferent and far more vast and serious
than the problems and conditions
which any single manufacturing es-
adjustment has ever experienced Ii
then when measures are taken to
control the food distribution and con-
sumption in this great land where
most folks have long been in the habit
of eating and consuming very much
as they desire, all things do not work
out entirely satisfactory; if unlocked
for conditions arise and discomfort
is caused, we feel that no man is JUS
titled in making a noise about it.
The general public has been from
the beginning very much in sympathy
with Hoover and his work and has
tried to cooperate with his plans, and
it is likely that they will continue to
do so even in the future when condi-
tiOns must of necessity become more
trying than ever. We are of the opin-
ion therefore, that very little disturb
ance will come, and very few as
saults will be directed upon the adj
ministration, only as from time tc
time, some injured interest will arise
for a hearing concerning It's suffer
ings.

upon the Spreckels attack, says yer,
nicely, and conclusiyeiy, 1T is quit
possible that Mr.. Spreckels is lookini
at the whole situation from the mar
row viewpoint of his own business
end, in his irritated state of mind, is
distorting, if not the facts, the con

He has said enough to whet the cur
osity of the country, and there will be
a general demand that the sugar ques
ton be probed to the bottom"

PROMINENT YOUNG MAN
OF KIMBERLY DIES

Many friends are mourning the
passing away of George Hatch a
we'll known young man of Kimberly
who for the past several months has
made this place his home and won
his way into the hearts of many peo-
pie.
He had been i'll for sometime,
though not seriously, so far as it was
known. During the spring he was at
tackled with tonsilitis, which was go
ing through the country as an epidem-
is that season, and Immediately fol-
lowing this siege of sickness he was
attacked with what he supposed was
rheumatism, causing him a good deal
of pain, but only at times keeping
him from his work
Later it was discovered that he was
afflicted with tuberculosis of the
bone. 1t was for this purpose that he
went to Twin Falls last Saturday
that he might undergo an operation
and if possible relieve the trouble
But his physical condition was too
weak with the much suffering and
while under the anaesthetie he passed
away.
His death came as a shock to his
many friends, who had seen him on
the streets Saturday. the day before
his death Many did not know that
he was dead until Monday and Tues
day of this week.

SPRECKELS VS.. HOOVER

Perhaps if Mr.. Spreckels had been
appointed head of the sugar division
in the stead of Mr.. Rolph, his rival,
ne would not have noticed so carefully
those actions of the food administra-
ton called in question by him last
Saturday, and perhaps those actions
would not have occurred. But his
own testimony before the senate COM
mittee, when he said that he objected
to Rolph's appointment because Rolph
was his rival, would cause the public
10 suspect prejudice.
1t is not necessarily inferred
because a man is prejudiced in favor
ef his business and his own interests,
which he has spent years in building
up, that he is altogether unpatriotic
or even so in the least and we would
hesitate to say that Spreckels was al
together looking out for himself in
this matter. He is probably very in
terested in the food administration
and so far as food control is concern
I'd under present conditions, he is
probably very much in sympathy with
the movement. But to say that he is
undoubtedly prejudiced and narrow
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-12-20

minded in this present matter is not
overstepping the bounds. He can see
the matter of sugar control only in
the light Of the needs of his own bust
ness and the conditions found there
in
Very likely Mr.. Spreckels came be-
fore the senate committee in very good
faith, and with grievances which he
thought we're very serious His riv-
ais, representing the biggest sugar in
terests in America were appointed by
Mr. Hoover as heads of the food adj
ministration department A rival
company had secured sugar from Lou
isiana under conditions which MIR.
Spreckels thought were in violation OF
the contract between the food admin
istration and the refiners, but which
Il was found, upon investigation, was
perfectly in accordance with the
Hoover contract, since louisiana
sugars like Philippine and Hawaiian
sugars, are specifically excepted from
the Hoover contract with refiners,"
and are not therefore under the con-
troll of the international committee
Because of the shortage of raw sug-
ars, shortage caused through the

poses and other reasons quite fore

and also because of certain embargos
on imported sugars, the Federal Sug-
ar Refining company of which Mr..
| Spreckels is the president was oblig-
ed to close some of its mills.
These arguments and objections adj
vanced by Mr.. Spreckels, were ably
met by Mr. Hoover. who we might
have reason to suppose was quite
aware of the conditions in the sugar
world and of the business of the adj
ministration. Mr.. Hoover's answer to
Spreckels very plainly showed that
he entertained very little patience
with those citizens who entertain the
public by assaulting the food admin
istration."
There is no question that the Ameri-
can public will stand by the admin
istratiOn even upon occasions of this
kind. for they have faith in Hoover 4
stands to reason that Hoover would
naturally look to the biggest sugar
companies, and to the most successful
and best recognized men in the sugar
world for his assistants in a work
necessarily as comprehensive as his
In his mind Rolph was the man tC
head the sugar division, and because
Rolph and Babst represent what is
commonly known as the sugar trust
of America is no sign that Hoover il

panies from which these men come

scientiously believed that Rolph wa
a better man for the job than Mr.
Spreckels, we certainly can see NJ
reason why he should not have acte'
as he did nor why Spreckels SHOULD
raise any serious objection.
Let us bear in mind that next to on
president, Hoover faces the biggest io
in the world. What he does as foo
administrator has never before bee
done in the history of any country
and the scale upon which he mus
handle this business is not measure

The holders of these scholarships have made grades that would entitle them to an average of almost three honor points for each grade.
