LAW AND ORDER

The people in nearly every county
OF every state i'll the Pacific North
west are organizing for the purpose
OF protecting life and property and
maintaining law and order. The
plan is a good one, provided that
each organization impresses upon it's
members that they must, under no
circumstances, resort to lawless
methods LaWlessness begets law
lessness and one of the greatest
dangers of the present situation is
that in their zeal to guard against
and to punish law breakers and dis
turbers of the peace the opponents
of law and order may themselves vio-
late the law Two wrongs do not
make a right and to resist lawless-
ness with lawlessness will simply
make bad situation worse
The serious trouble with the /. w.
W, s at Everett and North Yakima
has been due in part to the fact that
he business men of those cities re-
sorted to unlawful methods to con-
rol an aggrayating situation and the
officers OF the law Winked at or par
ticipated in these lawless methods.
When the officers chosen TO enforce
he laws set the example of yiolat-
ing them, the example is not likely to
inspire respect for law among the l.
w WIS.
The minds of the people have been
SO inflamed by reports of real or fan
cied depredations committed by l..
w. VS. or alien citizens that they
are prone to suspicion, and quite
likely to mistake mere suspicious for
facts Let a grain fire start or a sep
arator blow up under suspicious cir
cumstances, and if there happens to
be an |. w. w. or a German sympa-
thizer anywhere in the neighborhood
he is sure to be blamed and quite
likely to be punished without due
process of law. The temper of the
people is such that little incident
can easily develop into very serious
trouble.
In these trying times it Is just as
important for defense leagues to
impress upon their members the ne
cessity for self restraint. cool head
edness and strict adherence to law
ASH is to organize them for the de-
Tense of property and the apprehen-
sion and punishment of law breakers

ant and misguided laboring men, who
have banded together in an attempt
to grab their share of war profits
The /. w. VS. are simply playing
the game of follow the leader" and
the leaders are the selfish captains

seems to be how much they can make
out of the war.

A few weeks ago in open court one
member of the Whitman County Bar
association accused another of offer
ing him bride. The charge was
emphatically denied by the accused
attorney. 1t follows that one of these
men is a bride giver and perjurer or
the other is a slanderer and per-
juror. The guilty one ought to be
disbarred from practice This is too
serious a scandal to be ignored and
If no one else is going to act in the
matter the members of the Whitman
County Bar association owe it to
themselves and to their profession to
make a thorough and impartial in
restigation of the charges and to
purge their organization of the
guilty member.

A VALUABLE DOCUMENT

me war message of President Will
son delivered before the two houses
OF congress on April 2, 1917, with
ahhotatlons giving the leading facts
on which the rupture with Germany
was developed, the issues in interna-
tlonal law, and contrasting the spirit
OF Prussianism and Americanism, has
been published by the committee on
public information in Washington.
The message is accompanied by a
foreWord which gives the reasons for
the publication and expresses the
nope that it may make clearer the
spirit and the facts back of the de-
clsion made by the government and
people of America.
The annotations to the message
are valuable in giving fuller details
or matters end things which were
only briefly referred to in the docu-
ment itself. Facts and figures are
set out in detail and constitute illum-
mating commentary on this one of
the greatest public documents in the
history of the world
Americansm and Prussianism are
contrasted by com pairing the follow
ing expressions of national ideals:
The foundations of our national
policy will be laid in the pure and
immutable principles of private NOR
ality. There exists in the course of
nature an indissoluble union between
virtue and happiness, between duty
and advantage, between honest poi
ICY and public felicity, and the pro-
pitious smiles of heaven can never
be expected on union or govern
ment that disregards the eternal
rules of order and right, which
heaven itself has ordained George
Washington first inaugural address.
We are now in a state of neces-
slty and necessity knows no law. Our
troops have occupied neutral Lux
emburg and perhaps already have en-
tered Belgium territory. Gentle
men, this is a breach of international
law. The wrong speak openly
the wrong we hereby commit we will
try to make good as soon as our mil
itary aims have been attained
He who is menaced as we are,
and is fighting for his highest posses
sion, can only consider how he is to
hack his way through. "-Chancellor

Political Notes.

The decision of the Republican party
to have local option plank in its plat
form was wise and one which will be
taken into account by those who favor
home rule. The liquor question has
caused more comment and created
more interest in the last two or three
months than ever before and there is
not the slightest doubt that steps will
be taken to give the people chance to
assert their views on the subject. OuI
members of the State Senate and also
of the House of A ssembly have pro
nounced ideas on this question anC
have expressed them more than once
so that there will not be any doubi
where they will stand when the time
comes to cast their vote. The stanC
taken IN all parts Of the country on the
sale of liquors has been materially
changed from what it was few years
ago.
Nothing like fight to create interest
The Democratic county committee ha!
made two efforts to effect an organiza-
ton, but the members have not beer
able to see anything that will justify
giving time to meet and go over thu
details of losing contest. So the or.
ganiZation was postponed and com
mittee on ways and means got busy
1t decided that the best thing to d.
was to get up contest, so Henry H
Savage threw his hat into the ring TO
the Office of chairman and James Mer
Ger Davis quickly followed with the
determination to get the prize for him
self. What it is worth does not appea
on the surface but it seems to be of suf
ficient value to fight over. The strug
gle over the Craftsmanship was settled
Saturday. The two candidates TO
chairman had their forces out, ant
there was good representation from
the several election districts. Jane
Mercer Davis was chosen chairman
defeating Henry HI. Savage by fou
votes. Herbert r. Smith, of Noun
holly, was elected secretary.

Teachers Institute

The annual teachers institute fol
this county began it's sessions yester
day in the high school auditorium
There was a large attendance OF

gets along nicely with one day and uI
to this year the institute had been held
on Saturday. 1t was held on Monday
this year.

teachers have never yet been made

chance to spend some money on a

samples of their wares.
DIR. Thomas M. Balliett, of the School

sons. 1t is his idea that pupils should
not be required to tear good literature
to pieces through criticism, but should
have the benefit of getting the essence
through proper reading of it. In Sun
day school lessons, he said, it would be
far better to have the Bible read in a
proper manner to the children and
have them form their own ideas than
subject them to some sort of an ex-
PLANTATION by teachers.
Herman Cuthbert, of the State Nor

streets can be found many problems to
be worked out in everyday life and it
would be well to have some of them APP

would knowing smattering of this,

pect of having it given useful applica

to present something in concrete form

E. F. Moller, physical director of

teachers various methods of giving the
exercises now demanded as a part of
public school work. The institute will
continue today and tomorrow and
then the teachers will go back to their
posts and resume business on the plans
they had been following before the
institute convened and will get just as
good results as they will from hearing
a lot of talk on the subjects presented
to them.

The Road Problem.


New Jersey. out Of its own funds
will construct the roads leading to the
two National environments at Wrights-
town and Tenaf1y. This was the de-
cision reached by the Highway Com
mission following a conference with
Governor Walter E. Edge in the audi
ence room of the State House Thurs
day. The commission was actuated
by patriotic motives in making it's de-
cision at this time, in view OF the
amount OF red tape to be gone through
before the Federal government would
lend any assistance. The action of
the commission will result in consider
able relief before the climatic changes
OF winter make the roads fairly i'm
passable. Four miles of road leading
from Camp Dix at Wrightstown to
Georgetown and two miles from Camp
Merritt, at Tenaf1y, to Englewood and
Leonia, will be constructed at an ap-
proximate cost of $4,000.
The State Highway Commission
was of the opinion that the roads lead
ing to the camp, being used mostly by
srmy trucks ought to be cared for by
the War Department. Federal officials
in their last move decided that the
roads, more especially that leading
from Camp Dix, were not sufficiently
used by army trucks to warrant i'm
provement as military necessity.
Governor Edge showed that army sup
plies traverse the road in sufficient
numbers to sustain the commissions
intention. Governor Edge argued for
consideration of the thousands Of
Jerseymen at the camps whose needs
of travel were Of sufficient importance
to make the rebuilding of the roads
imperative. He also pointed out that
thousands of friends of the militiamen
will want to visit the camps and their
relatives there. The States Chic
Executive stated he favored no roads
in particular from the Camp but would
be guided by the decision of State En-
gineer Major General Goethals and the
Highway engineers. The latter's recon-
mendation favored the road between
Wri ghtstowD and Georgetown as being
the shortest and most used.
