What has never been disclosed
until today is the fact that a war
rant for their release WAS signed
by the project OF all the Italian po-
lice himself. and that each OF the
criminals was later given $4,000

service they rendered the govern.

Where are the faces of the great.
We used to see, now out of date;
That erst adorned the printed page,
Celebrities and once the rage?
Forever gone, til now they seem
But baseless fabric of dream.
They flourished, each his little day,
Then for some other phiz gave way.
Old times have changed, old faces
gone;
No longer does the mug of John
l.. Sullivan the papers grace,
Nor Lydia Pinkham's sanity face.
No records left to tell the tale.
OF what became of Madame Yale,
Or statesmen who procured their
salt
By writing praises of Pure Malt.
Old times have changed, old faces
gone;
Another crop have now come on,
Celebrities who'll have their days
And promptly go their several ways.

A PROMINENT manufacturer in ar
Eastern city gives it as his opinion
that the young man of today has chan
ces such as his father never had, and
that whether he succeeds depends on
himself. From his own experience OF
third of a century in business, IN
which he rose from So week as
! office boy to the presidency of a con-
Germ employing 600 men, he offers this
advice to the one who would get ahead
Know your business. Put punch
into your work every minute. Study
your line in your home hours. DO as
well as your fellow workers and just
a little better. Don't let the biggest
social engagement interfere with the
smallest business duty. Don't have
too many dates.
The theory of delivering the goods
for which one is paid viii come to
many with the refreshing force of
novelty. Hundreds kick at their sal
aries for dozen who kick at them
selves. AThe anvil chorus that
knocks" the man higher up because
he is higher up works three shifts.
Too many Of US are guilty of biting
the hands that feed US, right and

however radical the means that may
be found essential.

A WOMAN Mt an anti-war meeting
in New York recently denounced
the war because it had cost her the
life of her only son. In reply to that
mother the Kansas City Star answered
as follows:
Without disposition to minimize her
sacrifice, which was great and which
many mothers must make, it ought to
be said that the price of it is charge
able. not against war, but against
the makers of it--against the mill
tary masters of Germany who cal
culatingly provoked it in order to ex-
tend their dominions. 1t is to bring
their account home to this guilty
caste and to make 1t impossible for
them ever again to exact these sacri-
fees from the world that this war
is being fought. Many men have died
and must die to achieve this end. How
better can man use his life? Which |
of those who have died in this cause |
could have lived to greater services
Our lives are narrow at best, our
service TO others small and we die
and leave the world no better for
having lived. But it is not so now
when a war waged for the worlds
freedom give us chance to make
our lives count. The mothers whose
sons 90 and do not come back share
with them the honor that crowns a
life given in service. Let them ask
themselves if they could feel the same
in sorrow that came
IF a sons death met in the narrow
path in which so many have met IT
md must meet it, when no high call
.ame-on a bed Of sickness with tasks
20 incomplete and hopes, ambition,
Iuty unfulflled? Surely it is better q
hat the life which must sometime
nd be ended in sacrifice and high
ndeavor. Surely it is better for him {
,ho thus dies and for the mother b

DEMOCRACY is force for peace
This is emphasized by the changed
conditions in Russia. Under the old
regime Russia was feared AS de-
mocracy Russia seeks no conquests
nor to impose its will upon the rest of
the world. No nation has had any
reason to fear the great democracies
of France, England or the United
States. The one menace TO the world
is the autocracy Of the Hohenzollerns.
When that is stamped out. as it will
be surely, war will be rarity, if not
an impossibility. The price that this
country is paying and will pay to Sc
cure that end is worth all it will cost.

THOUGH Gem county did itself
proud in its contribution to the Red
Cross fund, the total is not so large as
1t should have been, because funds
that really belonged here were given
10 the Boise fund. As an illustration,
the Boise-payette Lumber Company's
contribution was credited TO the city
where it has its headquarters. AT
least half should have been placed to
Emmett's credit. This is true of other
concerns with branches in this city,

THERE is no Disgusting the fact
that the proposal Of the Federal
Trades commission with respect to
the pooling Of the coal production and
transportation of the country under
a single government agency are about
the most far reaching that have yet
been seriously entertained by the
American government, and will, II a
dopted, constitute long step toward
government ownership of the vital
public utilities. AS war emergency
measure, this proposal stands level
with the food-control bill that has
awaited the slow progress Of congress
sional deliberation. The experience
OF the belligerents in Europe proves
the necessity Of radical action along
these lines. 1t remains to be seen
whether the coal operators and the
transportation interests possess the
ability TO find and apply for them
selves remedy for existing condi-
tons. II they cannot, some sort Of
governmental interference will be in
eyitable, for fdel is vital necessity,
without which we can neither prepare
for nor wage war, much less carry on
the industries Of the nation. With |
abundant fuel supplies dependent only
upon scientific method Of distribu-
lion, shortage of extravagent pri-
ces constitute q confession of national
nefficiency. This must be remedied,
