TREASON AT THE CAPITOL

That is a shameful picture painted by Herbert c.
Hoover in his letter to President Wilson the food
situation in the country is necessary publish
the whole letter The last sentence tells the story
@We are practically helpless to safeguard either
the farmer or the consumer until the pending leg
islation is passed.
Mr.. Hoover tells how the farmer received s1.51
bushel for his wheat while it went to 1925 in Chicago
with the price of flour to the based this
speculative price.
In this way the gamblers have been robbing
of so to 100 per this article of food
while the grave and senators have wrangled
the best methods of saving their booze.
The horrible will not have been wholly in vain
if it makes such conditions this forever impossible in
America.

Moscow, Ida, July 10, 1917
Executive Committee of Moscow
: Chapter American Red Cross,
Mr. J. S. Heckathorn, Chairman
| Gentlemen:
L. respectfully submit to you that
Propose to put on what is known as
subscription campaign for the Daily
and Weekly Star-Nirror.
1t is the general practice of news
paper publishers in carrying on such
campaign to have a voting contest
between individuals who contest for
prizes, and the employ some outside
campaign. The scheme consists of Of
fering prizes representing from eight
to ten per cent of the gross proceeds
of the campaign, and there is general
ly expended from $500 to $3.50 for such
purposes. The circulating bureau
generally has no interest in the COM
munity or the paper, and their efforts
are directed only for the monetary
gain that they may derive from such
campaign Consequently, the patrons
are bored and pestered, personal
feeling is generated between the con-
testants and tn goodwill of tn paper
is more or less damaged.
To get away from the disagreeable
features indicated above, | propose to
inaugurate this campaign on a some
what different basis. l propose to
give to the Moscow Chapter of the Red
Cross ten (10) per cent of all the mon
eys received during the period of the
contest for new subscriptions, on ac-
count of extending subscriptions, or
for unpaid subscriptions.
To handle the campaign I have en-
ployed fellow citizen. who is well |
known to you all, Mr.. G. w. Kitchen. |
AS you know, Mr.. Kitchen has been
vitality interested In the Red Cross
work, done active service in organ1z-
ing the local chapter, devoted his time
to the Red Cross drive, and STANDS |
ready and willing at any time to de-
vote his energy in behalf of your chap |

can depend to see to it that your
chapter receives its proper pro rata I

1t is my purpose to start this cam

speak, then, of profits and patriotism
| in the same sentence. / shall expect
every man who is not Stacker to be al
my side throughout this great enter
prise. In it no man can win honor who
thinks of himself"
On the subject of patriotism Presi-
dent Wilson said:
Patriotism leaves profits out of the
question. In these days of our SUI
preme trial, when we are sending
hundreds of thousands of our young
men across the seas to serve a great
cause, no true man who stays behind
to work for them and sustain them by
his labor will ask himself what he is
personally going to make out of that
labor. No true patriot will permit
himsef to take toll of their heroism
in money or seek to grow rich by the
shedding of their blood. He will
give as freely as they When they
are giving their lives will he not at
least give his money?

why?
Because the junkers labor under the deuson that
they can divide this nation and array element
against the other. Therefore these unkers are with
holding open declaration and open assaults
knowing that such would tend drive the American
people together into aggressive union
So Germany is paying the United States the compli-
ment of placing her level with Russia hoping and
praying that by treason intrigue from within Am
erica may be rendered helpless eliminated from ac
tive participation in the war.
Those who know what is going on in this nation
KNOW of course asnine this position of the Ger
man is, and what terrible awakening there is ahead
for the unkers; still there enough going on in
the natio justify of the hopes and prayers of
the enemy.
In the industries of the country three vital con-
sderatons involved: The United States must have
great quantities Of lumber for ships Otherwise her
allies across the will be starved by the submarines
The United States great quantities of metal
for the manufacture of munitions of war Otherwise
this nation would be in the pitiable condition
Russia before the recent revival The United States
must have great crops and the armies
of her allies.
IT, then, Germany through her paid agents or
through her sympathizers could production
ships, of minerals of food in this country she would
thereby greater victories she could possibly
win with her armies fields of battle
This brings the of the problem directly home
to north Idaho that is expected in this crisis to produce
abundanty of lumber minerals and food. 1t must be
clear, too that the who intereres with the pro-
duction of lumber minerals and is playing directly
into the hands of the enemies of this nation
whether that is his intention not.

 sity of London

The Hague, Netherlands, April 4.- Signs are not wanting that, partly as a consequence of the war, the Dutch language is to take more prominent place in the world than it has done in the last century. Plans on foot to establish a chair in the Dutch lan- guage, literature and history at Lon- don University, a movement that has attracted the more interest in the British metropolis because of the nu- merous and growing Dutch-speaking population that now forms part of the British empire, as citizens of United South Africa.
 In Germany professOrships in Dutch already existed at Bonn and Munster universities, and the events of the war have led the authorities at Leipzig to afford similar facilities. The temporary German rule in the Flemish parts of Belgium has nat urally. evoked increased interest in Dutch in Germany. Indeed, many of the Germans more directly concerned have already acquired knowedge of the language.
 In addition to existing Dutch insti- tutions in America, there is move ment on foot in the United States for the establishment of chair in Meth

erlands history and literature at the University of Michigan. It is in Michigan and Iowa that the Dutch element is still strong today.
 A recent writer on this subject es- timated the numbers of the Dutch speaking race in the world at 12,580,- 900 souls.
 If the Dutch manage to hold Hol- land, and of that there seems little doubt, and if, as is likely, Flanders is afforded more opportunity for de- velopment after the war then it has enjoyed hitherto, the Dutch believe Q bright future awaits them in north west Europe, where this sturdy race already forms a compact population of II, 100000 souls.
 In Dutch East Indies the making and moulding of a new nation is com mitted to their hands. Altogether the Dutch are convinced that the signs point to an increasingly important share for them in the mission and the future of the white race.

 warsl1ip.

Tokio, April IA Shanghai tele- gram received in official quarters says that the captains of two German steamers, which are interned in the port of Shanghai where they took ref uge soon after the outbreak of the war, attempted to get their vessels away late at night after China had sent their protest to Germany on the unrestricted submarine warfare. The two steamers were sighted steaming at top speed towards the entrance of the port under cover of darkness through the merchantmen moored in the harbor.
 Japanese warships cruising near the mouth of the port espied the mys- terious ships and gave chase. Award of detection, the German ships turned and returned to their n1ooring. The entente warships are maintaining a vigilant watch lest they should make another attempt.
 Japanese authorities a11ege that the intention was to sink the steamers at the entrance of the river to block trade with Shanghai.

IRELAND IS MADE
 ONE VAST FARM
Everybody Engaged Increasing
 Agricultural Products

Dublin, April 4-All Ireland ap- pears to be engaged in one vast ploughing match. Ploughs are being
 drawn by every available type of an- imal while men and women who never
 put their hand to plough before have learned to do the work dn the sub- marine emergency. The Irish depart ment of agriculture has thrown all
 its executiveymachinery into the effort to increase the tillage enormously ana
 has obtained a decree under the de-
 fense of the Realm Act making cer- tain minimum percentage of extra tll-
 lage compulsory on every farmer Tn
 Ireland holding more than ten acres
 of land.
 This novel law requires that every farmer must till at least ten per cent. of the arabic part of his holdings in addition to whatever amount he titled
 last year, unless he is already culti- vating fifty per cent. of his land, in
 which case he is not obliged to do more. There are 35O,O0O holdings to which this regulation applies, with an arabic area of 14,50O,0OO acres.
 The departments county commit tees which have for years been orr
 ganized in every county Of Ireland. have stopped all other work and put their experts and administrative staffs on the sole work of food-production They have organized special commit tees in every parish and are mobiliz- ing all the available supplies of seeds,
 manures and implements. Machinery for saving labor is to be made to go as far as possible by a system of local exchange.
 Few people realize what g tremen- dous asset Ireland has been to Eng land during the war as reservoir of foodstuffs.
 In the year before the war Eng lands imports of foodstuffs from her leading sources of supply were as fol- lows: United States 33,OO0,0O0 pounds sterling; Ireland 33,000,O00 pounds sterling; Argentine, 30,0O0, 900 pounds; Denmark, 31,OO0. 900 pounds; India, 1s,000.000 pounds. and Canada, 18,O00,000 pounds.
 The war disturbed this balance somewhat, bringing in greater SUD- plies from America, but Ireland has
 also increased her output and the imports of food from that island in
 1915, the latest figures available, show
 total of 46,000,000 pounds
