PLUMMER EDITOR
MENTALLY DEAD

PLUMER, Ida.-A couple of weeks
ago a petition was circulated in this
vicinity, against any American sol
dIers benig sent to the trenches in
Europe. Immediately the editor of
our weekly paper began canvas
among the business men and others.
to create prejudice and hatred to-
wards the circuators of the petition
Ev Comrade n. n. Kline, and rovself
We were threatened with federal
prison and We're given Jelly fish
write-up in the putrid columns of
the Plummer reporter, in which we
were referred to as traitors circuat-
ing reasonable document ard
warned all the signers they might
face federal court for signing the
same. This petition with two hun
dred names was forwarded to Sena-
tor William +. Borah. of Idaho, and
this is the answer received yester-
dav from him:
"My Dear Mr. Goddard: ] received
today your petition signed by your
self and many others in the vicinity
of Plummer. | shall he glad to
nresent this petition and have it re-
ferred for consideration to the prop
per committee. As you perhaps
know. | made public statement in
the BEGINNING of this war in harmony
with the views expressed in your
mony with those principles still.
'Verv respectfully.
"Wm. f BORAH."
When this editor-this blow fly of
journalism called two working men
traitors for desirnp to keep our
armed forces out of Furope, he must
inclnde George WASHINGTON in his
TRADE of abuse-because Washington
was the great American who origi-
mated the doctrine. "No foreign en-
tanglementS, no soldiers for Europe"
From George Washir oton to Senator
Borah l am afraid he has annexed
more population than he can safely
handle. Now in regard to the pa
triotic LOYALTY of the pee-wee editor
of the Plummer Weakly Whee7e, his
re"ord here is comnlete. If the
alien enemy could by anv means
make it known that they intended to
invade this country and the purpose
of that invasion was to tear down
our public school and put brewery
in it's place. drivesseut our legitin'a ate
business men and put a grog shop
on every corner of the town, such
inva sion would have the support and
loyal cooperation Of this editor who
today is posing in his simple minded
ignorance end conceit as the defend
er of the flag and the inouisitorial
Judge of other peoples loyalty. Our
brand of patriotism is not in har-
mony with the patriotism of the
editor of our home paper, for which
we return many thanks to the teach
ers Of Socialism.

LABOR JURY WATCHES
TRIAL

There are two juries watching Rena
Moneys trial. One is drawn from
a picked lot of taxpayers and from
which union men are rigidly eXclud-
ed. The other is composed Of six
women who are determined to see
that Rena Mooney gets square deal,
and seven union men, one of them
being sent by the federated unions
Of Miami, Arizona.
Their appearance in court has eX-
cited much comment. The Hearst
news agency has been polling the
opinion of representative union and
professional men, all over the coun-
try. and it has been widely approved
of by the men and women of pro-
gresslve thought.

So full of misery,
Of thee / sing.
I used to fill my craw
With beefsteak hard to chaw,
But now bone | gnaw,
Or any old thing,
Since meat and spuds and flour
Are soaring every hour
Beyond my means,
T1l trv to make my cash
Buv me a little hash
To mix in with my trash
And turnip greens.

Enough to justify

A GIRLS IMPRESSION
IN THE WAR CAPITAL
BY Edna Huber.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Do you
know, girls, who is the best looking
man in the United states cabinet?
1 choose Mr.. Lansing, the secre-
tary of state.
This lawyer man from New York
state, who handles our diplomatic
relations. is one of the most polish
ed gentlemen 1 have ever seen out
side of a drawing room. He has a
poise that is ever present. He stands
straight and erect, and his features
are clean-c cut and straight Mr..
Lansing is What we girls would call
a peach" And he is just as nice as
he looks.
Sec'y Lane Of the department of
the interior is the most entertaining.
He always has a smile and a couple
of pleasantries TO pass out. He must
have been a great success with the
ladies in his younger days. You just
have to love him. girls, even if he
is a little bit fat.
Mr.. Baker. who is the war secre-
tary, is a tiny little thing. He GER
tainly doesn't look one bit warlike.
He is Just a bunch of nervous energy
too. Every time 1 see him he seems
TO be running somewhere.
Josephus Daniels is the incest man
YOU ever wanted 20 meet, but 1 am
afraid he is a little too bashful The
Sc fretary Of the navy is a southern
gentleman, gracious and chivalrous.
but / am afraid he doesn't quite like
US girls, or else he fears us.
Sec'y Redfield is a fatherly sort Of
man. He wears whiskers and Of
course that is against him, but he is
awfully nice and pleasant, and he
Just takes you into his confidence
and talks real nice 10 YOU, when you
know he hasn't the time TO spare.
Business-always business-that is
Sec'y Wilson. l admire him, but l
must confess that he is brusque
enough TO scare any poor little re-
porter lady out Of attempting TO in
te-view him.
Mr. Houston. over at the depart
ment Of agriculture, has a lot TO do
with wOmen's work il the kitchen
but he talks about "calories" and
| things like that and he is almost too
| scholarly for me.
! l honestly wanted 10 see and talk
with Postmaster Gen. Burleson and
Atty. Gen. Gregory. but I was afraid.
| They looked so stern and dignified.
And these are the men that are
planning the war that our sons are
going to fight.

Mighty Like a Rose Harrison BY Chase

left him with a feeling of apprehen-
sion. For him the remainder of the
ride had been without charm.
They had reached the gymnasium
just before the first dance. Ted had
left Sylvia at the door and had hur-
ried into the smoking room, and
when he had returned TO the ball
room he had found Sylvia and Tom
in earnest conversation. The girl
had turned 10 him with a bright
spot in each cheek.
i've given Tom three OF your
dances, she had said. I'VE haven't
seen each other for months. and 1
knew YOU wouldn't mind"
Ted had nodded.
Which ones are they" he had
asked. You might tell me so that
can check them of"
The third, sixteenth and twenty
third. she had answeted.
The orchestra had struck up the
first one-step then. and Ted and
Sylvia had danced off 20 the music.
But as they swung on the floor Ted
had been conscious that the girl had
smiled over his shoulder at Tom
Ainsley.
During the third dance he had sat
I'm an out of-the way corner and
watched them. 10 had seemed 10 him
that Sylvia was especially vivacious,
that there was a new light in her
eyes q new note in her laughter. She
and Tom had chatted together hap
PLY. and when the fourth dance be
gan she had been late.
The evening had worn away. The
girl had noticed Ted's rather con
strained silence and had chided him
about IT, But he had refused to re-
spond 20 the Gliding. and finally
Sylvia too had grown quiet. And
then the twenty third dance had ar
rived.
The next dance is the last" Tel
had told her just before Tom had
come To claim her. Its Nights
Like a Rose, and that is our dance
YOU know"
The girl had nodded.
Yes. that is our dance" she had
repeated absently.
But il hadn't turned out TO be their
| dance. after all, for when the musiI
started Sylvia had been walking
along one of the shaded campu:
paths with Tom.
she had seemed sincerely sorry
I about il.

walked too far. and I'm sorry that

Ted had told her that il hadn'

/ That was six months ago. ant

and he had assented, and once when
he swallowed his pride and dropped
around to the familiar porch Tom
Ainsley had been there and Ted had
not gone again.
Tom and Sylvia had been together
quite frequently since that time. To
Ted it seemed as if they were always
together. In his own heart there was
an emptiness which nothing could
satisfy.
The yearning TO talk with Sylvia
came to him with renewed force as
he sat on the porch of the Country
club listening 10 the strains OF
Mighty Like a Rose. SO he sat, his
chin in his hands, looking with I'M
seeing eyes over the rolling green Of
the golf links. And then "A figure
suddenly appeared beside him AID a
soft voice called his name.
He looked uD almost unbellevins
". for Sylvia was standing so near
that he could touch her. He leaped
to his feet.
What are you doing here?" he
asked blankly.
"I was tired of dancing and
thought I'd come out to the terrace"
she answered.
Where's Tom ?"
He's in the club. I wanted to be
alone"
"why?"
For a moment Sylvia was silent.
When she spoke there was Just the
hint of an appeal in her voice.
"Sit down and I'll tell you" she
said.
They found vacant bench half
hidden in the shadows.
do you really want TO know why
1 came here?" Sylvia asked.
Yes"
1T was because this waltz always
reminds me Of a man who used 10
be nice 10 me" the girl explained.
"Once he said that il was our waltz,
and then. because | made a mistake.
and didn't get TO the last dance at a
Junior prom, he didn't want il 10 be
our dance any more"
Ted caught his breath sharply.
How about YOU" he asked.
81 always wanted il 10 se our
| dance"
Ii was rather fortunate that the
shadows hid them from the people
on the porch Of the Country club. for
Ted Gibson did something he had
never dared 10 do before. He took
| Sylvia in his arms and kissed her.
And then they went back 10 the
ballroom and danced the last half
/ OF the waltz together

Ted Gibson sat disconsolately on
the terraced lawn sloping to the lake
in front Of the country club. From
the direction OF the ballroom came
;he sound of soft music. and Ted
recognizing the waltz stringed ORCH
estra was playing. buried his chin
in his hands and looked of, unsee
ing. across the broad expanse OF the
golf links. The waltz which hoated
out to him was an old one. as popu-
lar waItzes go. but it brought to Ted
bitter sweet memories.
Months had passed since he had
last heard IT, II had been at the
Junior prom at college, the last
dance OF series OF the most won
derful dances he had ever known.
sylvia had beer there Sylvia OF the
laughing eyes and dimpled cheeks
He had planned 90 make that
prom turning point i'm his life.
Sylvia had promised 10 be his guest
and had smilingly consented 10 give
him - OF the "a dances. AT the
end OF the last number on the pro
gram Ted had planned 10 ask Sylvia
20 marry him.
The affair had started of with
every promise OF success. They had
motored 70 Kingston In the long. low
runabout with just enough room for
two. IL was a beautiful night. with
full moon casting Ions shadows
over the quiet roads and a touch OF
spring in the evening air. To was al
ideal night for Ted's purpose. tie
seemed 20 sense i'm Sylyia's attitude
the kind OF answer he wished FOR.
And then Sylvia had spoken. She
didn't say much-only a single sen
tence-but after the words had
fallen from her lips the glory OF
the night seemed lost.
Tom Ainsley is going 90 be al the
prom. she had said
Tom Ainsley, Ted's hands had
gripped the wheel more tightly
Ainsley was the name which gossip
had linked With that OF Sylvia's. For
two years. while Ted was away al
college. the two had gone about to-
gether almost constantly. There had
been rumors OF an engagement
which Sylvia had ignored. and Ted
returning 90 Wes.woOd. had taker

Tom had left for the west. and Tee
