BACK UP The
GOVERNMENT IN.
GREAT CRISIS

All to Stand Loyal and
Extend Every Possible
Aid.
Irrespective of Former
Opinions as to the War,
He Says, There Is Now
Only One Course for True
Americans.

Emreett. Oct. 10.-Senator Borah de-
iivered stirring address here last
night at the Methodist church. The
auditorium, the largest in the town,
was filled to overlooking with an au-
dience that listened with rapt atten-
tion to the address, which. was fire.
quently punctuated with cheers.
Senator Borah spoke under the aus
pieces of the commercial club. The En-
NETT band rendered several pretty Sc
lections before the meeting opened.
The senator was given a great ovation
when he stepped upon the rostrum.
The auditorium was draped in the ma
tional colors. Seated upon the ros-
trum were: E. K. Hayes, chairman of
the Gem county food conservation
committee; v. T. Craig. chairman of
the Gem county liberty bond commit
tee; e. c. Rundstrum. president of the
commercial club, and D. H. Van Deu-
sen, member Of the liberty bond COM
mittee.
E. X. Hayes presided as chairman
Of the meeting. Keep the Camp Fires
Burning" was beautifully sung by four
members of the K. K. club, Emmett's
widely known musical organization
composed of ladies only. The quartette
were: Mrs. Ray Newcomer, first So
prano; Frances Rundstoun, second So
prano; Florence Rundstrum, first alto;
Mrs. R. c. Keithly, second alto.
BoRAH'S TELLING POINTS. ~
Senator Borah began his address at
Sis o'clock and spoke for an hour
on the issues of vital interest at this
time. Some of the telling statements
made by the speaker were:
The obligations of the people are
greater now than rested on them dur
Ing the solemn period of the civil war;
Whatever our opinion may have
been previous to the declaration of war
against Germany last April, It is now
no longer a matter for discussion. THE
ONE THING LEFT FOR US TO DO

You don't want slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-or a harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't injure it
with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's
speed in giving relief; it's harmless
ness; its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
It's quick relief in indigestion dys-

the war England expended 81 billions,
France, Is billions; Germany, 81 bill
lions. You see, our first year of way
cost more than any of the European
nations in three years.
I'VE have been transformed from a
peaceful to military power, and we
are financing our allies.
CIVILIZATION RESTED ON U.S.
TT is perfectly true to say that the
worlds civilization rested on the
United States when we entered the
contest.
The total wealth of the United
States is s25O,O0O, 100000. Two per
cent of our people own IS per cent of
this wealth.
Our nation made two billions in war
profits In 1915. and 2A billions in 1916.
These items must be considered in
equalizing war taxes.
England put on a so per cent rate
of taxes on war profits in 1915, go per
cent in 1916, 80 per cent in 1917, and
Lloyd George Is now advocating 30 per
cent"
Senator Borah then astounded his
audience when he told of the enormous
war profits made by the American
Smelling company, Armour & Co.,
Swift & Co., Du Pont Power company,
and United States Steel company.
Cheers followed his statement that
wealth should respond to Its ability
to pay war taxes as does the boy who
serves his country according to his
ability.
Il do frUt challenge wealth's patriot
ism, but l shall do so II great wealth
resists paying it's share much longer"
the senator continued.
ut is peculiar that In every war
there are a few people who make great
profits Another popularity is that
there are many people who fear to say
it is wrong for the few to make these
great profits.
War profits are only taxed 81 per
cent in this country, If England can
take so per cent, the United States
should take like amount.
IT don't want to cripple business OF
break 1t down. Manufacturing insti-
buttons in England were never SO pros
porous as now in spite of the 80 per
cent tax on war profits.
ALMOST BETRAYAL OF NATION.
II say it approaches very nearly a
betrayal of our country to refuse to
bear an so per cent war profits tax.
Make war pay for war as far as
possible. This would go far toward es-
tablishing world peace
we shall raise this year s1s billions
by taxes. We should raise five billions
by taxes.
I'VE will issue this year at least 10
billions In bonds. outside OF the seven
billions for our allies.
1T is the duty of every individual
to take liberty bonds to the fullest ex-
tent of his ability.
Germany will watch the distribu-
ton Of these liberty bonds as closely
as our own government. II the people
take proper hold of the liberty bonds.
1t will show Germany that the United
States is a united nation In this war
Il hope this liberty bond issue will
be taken up by the people generally.
(Great applause greeted the state
ment.) I'll then see to II. to the utmost
of my ability, that war profits be prop
erly taxed when congress convenes
next December.
Let us all respond to our ability to
buy liberty bonds.
While destroying autocracy In Eu-
rope let us establish firm democ-
racy at home.
This war will be won by us.
Stronger than autocracy, kings or
dynasties are purposeful people,
Many people greeted the senator at
the conclusion of his address.

is TO GIVE OUR UTMOST SUP
PORT TO THE GOVERNMENT.


1T is our duty to close ranks at
home as have our soldier boys closed
ranks.
II hope when theowar ends there
will not be left a ruling dynasty in
Europe. Without these dynasties this
war would not be. And am not par
ticular to see any dynasties left at
home either. (Cheers.)
The primary cause of our being in
this war is to defend American insti-
tutions.
1T wes considered by us an Euro
pean war until our rights were tram
pied under foot by Germany. Then it
became our own war.
Had not the United States entered
the war when it did, the central powers
likely would have been victorious.
Then the war would have been carried
to the United States.
I'VE can have no quarrel with the
German people, but we are unalterably
opposed to the German military autoc-
racy.
TWO VITAL THINGS.

pie: The fighting of its battles and
the paying of it's obligations.
How can we deal most fairly with
the masses of our people? That is an
important question.
THE government has invoked the
law of CONSUMPTION. The policy as to
the raising Of the armies is settled. It
is the duty OF every citizen to support
that law until 1t Is repealed
''The government invokes the princi-
pie of making up its armies with those
most able to serve. Those most able
to do so should be made to pay for the
war.

Henry Ford's Tractor.

Henry Ford informed friends at the
Detroit Athletic club in Detroit The
other day that he had just notified
France thatthat country could have 49,
600 Ford tractors. He is now working
on from 6, 600 to 1000 for England, and
all of these will have to be delivered
before Americas demand is met. MIR.
Ford said that he was taking advan-
tage of the present fine weather in
making the tests, and that in a short
time. several of these tractors would be
moved to the south for test work there.
He laughingly said that he was 81
years old, but believed that in his
present condition he was capable of
running farther and running faster
than any 34-year-old man in Detroit.
AS indicating the work he is doing, he
told of rising at o'clock, Wednesday
morning, and of following II tractors
over the fields. He rode on many of
these, and at the close of the morn
ing's test, knew everything that was
to be known regarding the work of
each. MIR. Ford said that all of his
tractors were being fitted to create

government did not care to have the

too many cars meant the consumption
of precious gasoline.

new LAWS ARE AID
TO LAND entry MEN
All Serving In Army Exempt From
Old Rules Mining Claims
Go Free.

Various kinds Of exemptions from
the regular requirements imposed on
public land claimants were made On
account Of the war in the legislation
enacted at the recent session Of con-
gress.
First Of al congress suspended the
time-honored requirement that all
homestead settlers shall reside on their
claims before acquiring title, and
changed the law so that the tme
served In any military branch Of the
government shall be counted at . full
value a. part Of the three years. e.,
; The requirement that certain i'm
provements should be made within
given period were suspended for the
duration Of the war. The law requir-
ing desert land entrymen to irrigate q
certain amount Of his lands was held
IN allegiance, and other requirements
suspended. All these are for men en-
gagged in the war.
Another new law provides that afi-
davits as to public land matters that
ordinarily have to be made before
local land officials may be made BY
those serving abroad before their COM
manding officers, United States COM
missioners or American consuls.
A separate bill which became a law,
Involving part Of the principle Of the
civil rights moratorium bill, which
failed of enactment, exempted soldiers
and sailors, marines and others in war
service from paying assessments on
their claims and protected their min
ing improvements during their military
service.
Then, after conferences between
Secretary Lane, Senator Shafroth and
Representative Taylor, the Taylor
Shafroth bill was evolved and enacted
in the closing hours Of the session,
whose effect is to suspend the mining
assessment law for two years on every
mining claim, except as to oil lands,
without regard to whether the claim
ants are in military service or not.
Under this law every placer or lode
claim, except oil, will be relieved Of
federal assessment for two years, In
the interest of development Of West
ern mining.

If you pick up the morning paper
and read that the U-boats bagged II

the Canadians captured only one line
Of trenches instead of two, do not
shake your head and declare that the
Germans never can be licked.
Set good example to your fathers
and mothers and uncles and aunts by
renewing your faith daily, in spite of
an occasional setback.
Quote to them the words of Abra-
ham Lincoln: LET us have faith that
right makes highland in that faith
let us, to the end, dare to do our duty"
You might remind your grown-up
relatives that all during the Civil war
the Northern states harbored a good
many well-meaning people who went
about moaning that the Union never
could be preserved and we had better
accept peace at any price.

and loyal support to the soldiers at the
front. If it should happen that grand.
father was one Of these 'peace-at-anyi
price" advocates, doubtless he will
change the subject and talk about
something else.
Even if you are less than six years
Of age, surely you can understand that
the issues involved in this dreadful
war must be settled and settled right
before the world MAY hope for abiding
peace.
Therefore, If anyone asks you what
you think about the war, reply as foE'
lows:
"President Wilson was right when
he said that the world must be made
safe for democracy. The American
people have no desire to destroy Ger.
many or prevent it from regainin9
commercial Importance. They want
Germany to restore the stolen property
and 60 home In a chastened mood.
They want to jam the knowledge into
every close-cropped Prussian head that
Just because man owns high
priced automatic gun and has lot OF
ammunition and a college education.
he has no right to 60 out and shoot
up his neighbors. The American
people are hoping to make it clear to
the kaiser and the crown prince ana
the various square-jawed Hindenburgs
that it is highly improper to form 9
partnership with God for purposes Of
murder and then treat God as q silent
partner. AS to the final outcome, the
battle of the Marne was the beginning
Of the end. For 200 years all the big
events Of history have marked an IRE
sistibles advance toward the .establish'
ment Of democracy. When the Ger
mans failed in their mad rush Of 1914,
1t meant that an All-Wise Providence
and the laws Of evolution were not to
be thwarted by a military despot with
a bristling mustache. Germany cannot
win and therefore Germany must lose.
The end Of bloodshed and sacrifice and
widespread terror will come as soon
rs the United States Of America be-
gins to strike aggressive blows. The
more men we send to the front the
fewer we will lose. Our greatest ene'
nv at present Is indecision. Our
strongest ally IL speed. Our most
needful watchword is faith. We are
going to end the war and then sit at
the council table to repress greed and
curb injustice"
OF course the foregoing will sound
rather hifaluting to come from SIX
year-old child, but 1t will be the truth.
and the truth is needed in large doses
at present, especially by people more
than six years old.
That will be all for today, children.
You may run along and play.
