MEASURING MEMS
CAPACITY

When you go into a mans office
and see his desk all Uttered with
dust and cigar ashes, and Uttered
with old papers and documents that
show by their appearance that they
have lain there for weeks without
being disturbed, when you see that
the desk is clean only so far as he
has wiped with his sleeves while he
worked, when you observe that the
dust and lint are thick on all the
top surfaces about the office, when
you observe that the cuspidor looks
like it had never been cleaned, the
typewriter loaded with dust, the keys
filled with lint so they don't print
clear;
When you visit a mans office and
notice that his desk is always neat
and clean, no dust on it in the center
or around the edges and corners,
slick and glossy from the application
of furniture polish, always litterup
during the rush of the day but in
perfect order at quitting time and
when he begins work in the morning,
cuspidor clean, typewriter shining
and free from dust, keys brushed
clean so they priht clear impress
sion;
What is your idea as to which one
is rendering the best service to his
patrons? Which one would you
think had the clearest vision of what
tomorrow will bring? Which one
will be the most likely to meet the
obstacles of the day and conquer
them Which one do you want in
charge of your business?

DIVIDE THE
STATE

North Idaho has been dissatisfied
so long with existing conditions, we
ought at this time to cut the state
in two as proposed by the joint reso-
luton formulated to present to con-
gress, and make two states out of
one. North Idaho will be better sat
isfied and South Idaho will have lost
nothing that it has right to keep,
for no part of the country ought to
be kept under the necessity of travel
ing around thru other states to get
to it's own state capital. 1t is almost
as inconvenient and ridiculous as in
colonial times, to send to Europe to
get permission to attend to our own
business in the way that was by
our own countrymen known to be
the best.
A great squabble has arisen over
the location of the capital of Idaho
if the state is divided. The south
east sets up a shout that they must
have it, and they suggest turning the
present new capitol building over for
a university and placed the new cap
ital in some more central location.
Inere mas Deen no particular QlS-
satisfaction over the present location
of the state capital excepting to north
Idaho people, and we do not believe
there is any good reason why this
state should lose us present invest
ment or any part of it by moving the
capital. If university is to be es-
tablished somewhere south of the
mountain barrier that now separates
us from the north, we should select
a location for it and build something
suitable. Certainly the present CAPT
toll buildings are unsuitable for un-
iversity and the people have had
enough county seat fights to be quite
willing to stay out of state capital
fights and to wish to avoid the ex-
pense of remodeling expensive build
ings.

NATIVE PRIDE
RUNS LOW

Native pride may be said to be
running low in Idaho when the legis-
lature has to enact a law to prevent
us from selling our farm lands to
the Japanese. But that is not the
only matter in which our local people
in Bingham county are losing caste.
A good many of the native sons born
and raised in this county are hiring
out to work for wages to the Jap
anese who have leased farms.
An American boy must be hard
pushed when he will take his orders
and his wages from an alien, and es-
pecially from an Asiatic. Still more
is it a subject of surprise when he
will become the employee of one who
came to this country without funds,
without knowledge of our language,
our laws, our customs, our weights
and measures and in all respects deaf
and dumb to our advantages until
he acquired the information from an
unfriendly race. The boy who has
all the advantages of birth, training,
schooling, citizenship, knowledge
of our laws and customs and ways of
doing business, even tho he be poor,
er in the race for wealth and prog
ress, and himself be the one to hire
the help and pocket the profits if
there are any to pocket. But in our
survey of the Bingham county farms
in 1916 we found native boys plant
ing and harvesting beets and pota-
toes for the little brown men, and
taking their orders and their wages
from that source.
When they will do that, they and
their people can no longer lay claim
to being members of a superior race.
And the young fellow in that position
can not claim inability to get as good
a job with others without indicat-
ing that the Japanese are better
farmers than the American neigh
bors, else why does he not hire out
to the Americans instead? There is
something wrong with Young Ameri-
ca, and perhaps also with his par
ents.

OUR RELATIONS WITH
GERMANY

The United States is in very much
the same position today that she was
at the outbreak of the War of 1872
A foreign power has been imposing
upon us for long period by violat-
ing the rights of our citizens upon
the seas. We have protested and
suffered and exhausted every means
to secure justice; we have exhausted
everybody's patience and all but lost
our self respect. We have called up
every possible doubt and waited till
each one was dispelled by some di-
rect insult or violation that took the
form of defiant challenge, and as
surance that. there was decision to
disregard our rights and to humiliate
us as much as possible, hoping there
by to govern us the more easily.
In the year 1912 when President
Madison asked for the cooperation
of congress in beginning the work of
defending American citizens, it had
been said for long period that the
president was too easy; that he lack
ed courage; that he was inviting the
attack of all greedy nations, and
finally. that he could not be kicked
into a fight" The result of the war
was a vindication of American cour-
age and American arms, and the
treaty was an easy-going agreement
on both sides that hostilities should
cease. The country went into the
war unprepared, and came out of it
commanding the respect of other
powers.
In the present situation we are I'M
prepared, have had plenty of time
and wealth and materials to get
ready but have not acted, and for the
entire month of February our foreign
commerce has been acting in abso-
lutte obedience to the will Of Ger
many. 1t has kept off of the seas,
ships have remained in port, trains
have unloaded shipments until ports
are congested and sidings are full of
cars under demurrage. This in turn
has disarranged domestic commerce
until starvation threatens great num-
bers of our own people in the centers
of population in times of peace and
plenty.
Germany set about to drive our
commerce from the seas, and she did
it very effectively at one stroke, by
announcing that she would sink it.
He object was to prevent its delivery
to any of the allied powers and right
we'll she has accomplished her pur-
pose. 1t was stated in the beginning
that all she wanted or needed was
60 days to starve England and bring
her to her knees, and so far as we
are concerned she has succeeded for
half that long with good prospects of
succeeding for another month.
The record will stand for all time
that at least for the month of Feb
ruary, 1917, the United States was
merely rich and obedient daughter
of, the Imperial German Empire, a |
vassal state doing the bidding of its
master across the seas, and not dar-
ing to do otherwise.
The eighth of April is Easter Sun
day, and people can observe the day
in contrition. The fourth of July
comes on Wednesday this year, and
unless we shall have undertaken
something in national affairs before
that, it would only be proper to OBJ
serve'it in silence as day of mourn
ing, for we are no longer independ-
ent.
