Houses Job Does Not
Mean An Early Peace

When It was recently announced Col
onel E. NJ. House had been delegated to
collect data in preparation for the event
nal peace conference, every pro-German,
pacifst, ,disloy alist in the land began a
delighted cackle. But their noise was
confession Of ignorance.
In time of peace prepare for war Is
an old saying. The president is also con-
vinced that in time of war we must pre-
pare for peace.
1t simply means the president is wary,
alert, on the job.
Past peace congresses often caused
more misery than the wars they ended.
The seeds of the present world war were
laid in the cowardice of the Berlin con-
gress, when the Balkan question was
side-stepped. President Wilson, with
characteristic prudence, is trying to
take time by the forelock, so when this
war ends it will end properly.
This means that not only will the
allies, fighting for democracy, win on the
battlefield, but that they will be pre-
pared, so that they will not be euchred,
cheated, tricked and hoodwinked by
. slick, lying Teuton diplomats in the peace
conference.
We have a big job We have to help
smash the most formidable war machine
the world has known. 1t is going TO
take time and money. BY next spring
Uncle Sam will begin to make some of
his power felt in France By next fall
he hopes to have a big army in the
trenches The real energies Of the coun-
try will be absorbed in this. Within a
year we will be doing our manful part in
the work Of freeing the world forever
from the menace of Prussianism.
But in the meantime it will do no harm
TO prepare the material our diplomats
will have 70 use when the war ends. Col
onel House himself pointed out that he
will have to gather a mass Of historical,
political and economic data. Then he
added this, which gives the rebuff TO all
who are spreading peace propaganda:
such task as this could not even be
well begun in less than a years time
That il is being undertaken now may be
taken as an indication that there are vet
no signs of the ending of the conflict"
This, coming from the man charged
with the work, is inside, authoritative
news that our government expects t.
wage war for at least one more year and
possibly for longer period.

The Enemy
~ OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Cranel

Whoever YOU are there's somebody
that doesn't like you.
The one constant figure on life's stage
IS the enemy. He's always there, sitting
grim and silent. or busy with hostility.
BE thou as pure as ice, as chaste as
snow, thou shalt not escape calumny"
Gentle maiden. as good as fair with a
heart warm and kind to all Gods crea-
lures, anxious to spread happiness as
May to spread flowers, it seems incred-
ible; but there is some one to whom your
presence is oirense, and to whom your
surcease would be pleasingl
In the chemistry of souls this repel-
lency is most curious, but undenlabe No
human force ever comes INTO the world
without its opposite. Every positive has
its negative. In every love is little spot
of hate. Heaven and hell. in their deep
er significance. touch every human heart.
Caesar had his Brutus, Socrates his
Meletus, and Jesus the envious Phari-
sees.
When | read any book that pleases me,
human Dickens or quiet Wordsworth, the
exquisitely fooled woodcraft of Vernon
Lee or the smashing liveliness of Conan
Doyle, it often comes to me-somebody
doesn't Ike this
Queer, isn't it? Sinister and strange,
but true. Little dove, the hawk scars
Silly watching; little fly, the spider
swings ready in his web; little doe, the
cougar crouches behind the bush; little
soul, among the gods walks one who
looks darkly at you.
And the higher you climb, the bright
er you write your name upon flames
scroll, the louder your applause and the
more signal your triumph, the surer
there will be, somewhere muffled In the
cheering crowd, the sombre figure of
some "Mordecai sitting at the kings,
gate"
Is. not America a beloved country7
There are those who loathe il unreserv-
eddy. Is not President Wilson a fine fig
IRE among statesmen? There are many
who would rejoice at his downfall, who
watch eagerly to find his mistakes and
herald them.
In a way the strength Of the enemy
is a reliable measure Of ones success.
The more you amount to, the sharper the
Kisses. Many a man has been elected to
congress by his enemies, and many a
writer has been bounded to fame
The best way to meet the enemy Is
to let him see that you do not think It
worth while to fight him. Nothing so
.enrages malice as 10 discover that you
don't mind. Nothing so disarms attack
as for you to go about your business as
usual. Such defense is more effective
than blows; kindness is the most ex-
asperating vengeance.
When in doubt, say nothing. Your
enemy can answer everything you can
possibly say, can retaliate against every
thing you can possibly do, except one
thing That is silence.

.HARALO MUNCk, SON OF
DENMARK, SHOWS LOYALTY

1t is safe to say that no citizens of
this nation is showing finer sense of
duty and more loyalty than Harald
Munck, who leaves tomorrow for Amer
ican Lake to fiG hit for this country.
Born is Denmark, and now only 26,
this boy come to America in 1912, arriv-
ing in Orofino in June. His first act
was to declare his intention to become
citizen, and since his five years was
not up when the call come, was exempt
from military duty But Harald MunclI
has different idea OF his duty to a
country that is good enough to live in,
for ne believes he owes his service in
time like this. His name was called
out he was rejected on account OF bad
teeth. He then proceeded to have his
teeth fixed and the local board passed
him as one of the best, physically. in
the county.
Tomorrow he leaves us to enter the
military service Of his adopted country
He goes in a spirit of loyalty, ready to
give up life itself that the government
of his choice may not PERISH that the
land he now calls home, and the Flag
that floats over it, may not be insulted
and her rights trampled under the heel
Of autocracy. What an example in citi.
zenship, and how this young man puts
to shame many even Of our native
born.

CLEARWATER COUNTY OATS
BEST IN THE STATE

The T. J. LaForest oats, mentioned
in these columns some weeks ago
have been awarded the blue ribbon
at the Idaho State Fair held at Boise
last week. Mr.. LaForest shipped
twenty pounds of his Renovated
White Tartar" oats to the state lalr
and competed for the honors in oats.
This week letter from Boise says
the LaForest oats were awarded first,
winning a blue ribbon and the SIS
cash prize. These are from the oats
grown on the land between Orofino
and Glenwood, and are not only bred
to resist drouth, but are wonderful
ly heavy, sack weighing 123
pounds.
Mr.. LaForest also exhibited plate
of five Wealthy apples and was
awarded second. Considering the
number of contenders for these var
ious premiums it Is no small honor
for Clearwater products to win, and
shows the high class of stuff this
section can produce.

1t will be interesting to the many
friends of Edward Childers. now in

Select Your Bean Seed This Fall.

There are two serious bean dis
eases which attack bean pods ard
which are carried over from one year
to the next within the bean seeds
themselves.
One of these is bean anthracnose, -
causes sunken brown spots which
vary up to one-half inch in diameter.
In these spots, Shiny masses Of pink
ish spores appear If weather condi-
tions are favorable for their de-
velopment. Beneath these spots the
threads of the fungus may penetrate
the seeds. When such seeds germ,n
ate and the beans are lifted above
the soil. the fungus begins to grow
again, thus forming sources of infec.
ton which may endanger the new crop
The other disease is known as bacter.
ial blight When on the pods. the spots
first .pp ar as small water soaked
areas which soon turn slightly yellow.
ish. Later, they take on yellow,
waxy appearance. These spots are ir.
regulsr in outline. They do not usual
ly become as large as the anthracnose
spots described above. The bacteria
causing bacterial blight often pene-
trate the seeds that are beneath the
spots on the pods and if severe, may
cause yellow waxy areas on the seeds
Such seeds may germinate and become
sources of infection for the new crop.
AS the bean seeds having these dis
eases are not always readily detected or
sep lrated from the sound seed, and as
Il few diseased seedlings may endanger
a whole crop by lowering both yield
and quality, great care should be exer-
els I'd in the selection of seed
Avoid the introduction of these dis
eases into your community by selecting
your own seed or by buying from a
locality known to be free from these
diseases. If either of these diseases is
in your community, save seed from
pods that are sound and ask your
neighbor to do likewise, as insects may
carry these organisms from one field to
another. Spraying has not given sat
isfactory results and the usual methods
of seed disinfection are of little value.
Practice crop rotation.
