There must be something wrong
with our system of government or
with the men who have been called to
administer it when such criminal and
anarchistic appeals as this can be
openly made with impunity. In at
tempting to intimidate the governors
Rowan has followed the lead of w. D.
Haywood, the national leader of the
l. w. W.. who made a similar demand
upon the president accompanied by a
threat to call a general strike. To say
that there is no law that will reach the
men who make these threats and who
offer distractions to the government
in every conceivable way is to admit
the impotency of the government and
its helplessness to defend itself against
enemies from within. Here we are en-
gagged In a great war in which the fate
of the nation is involved. A million
young men have volunteered or are
being drafted to defend our country
and those ideals of government which
insure to every citizen equal oppor-
tunity and the widest freedom of ac-
ton. Other millions may be called. To
support this army and those of our
allies, which is equally essential, the
resources of the nation are being mo-
lbiized, and particularly the food sup
ply. After many weeks of delibera-
tion congress has enacted food con-
troll and conservation law, ana under
| it the entire power of the government
is being exerted to insure sufficient
crops to feed the nation. 1t Is re-
garded as perhaps the most serious
problem in connection with the war,
that of providing food for our fighting
forces and for the people at home.
In the presence of this grave situa-
tion Rowan calls upon his followers to
"let the harvest go to waste and let the
fruit rot on the ground" because a
few of the criminal gang who take
orders from him are being held for
trial just as any other violator of the
law.
Is the government helpless in such
case at this? Is 1t possible that our
great government which essays to
fight the kaiser across the sea is pow
erless to protect itself against its en-
emies at home? If there is no civil
law that will fit the case Of Rowan,
Haywood and all others who are at
tempting to obstruct the government
in the prosecution of the war, then II
is time to resort to military law.

HOW MEET SITUATION
Load Cars to Full Capacity
and Release Them
Quickly
CAR SHORTAGE presents a

"HE CAR SHORTAGE presents a
most serious problem to the gov
ernment at this time when 1t Is
confronted with the necessity of
speedily moving vast quantities of war
munitions and supplies and equipment
for the great army that is about to be
modified Through the public utili-.
ties commission an appeal has been
made to the shippers and railroads Of
Idaho to cooperate to the fullest ex
tent in helping to relieve the situa-
ton and thereby contribute directly to
assisting the national government in
the present emergency. 1t Is the pat
giotic duty of every citizen who is in
position to render assistance to re-
spond to this appeal promptly and
earnestly The condition Is clearly
outlined in a letter just issued by John
w. Graham, president of the public
utilities commission of Idaho which
here follows:
The Appeal.
This commission has been appeal
ed to by the committee on car service
of the American railway association
of the league of national defense to
cooperate in urging the loading Of all
railway equipment to its fullest per-
missfbe capacity, regardless of trade
units or minimum capacity rules.
This country has a big undertaking
ahead Of it to successfully prosecute
this world wide war, and one of the
prime features of this job is the ques-
tion of transportation, vital problem
to the distribution of food stuffs, the
movement of men, munitions and war
supplies.
"There are 2,575,00O freight cars In
this country, and an increase of two
tons per loaded car would be equiva-
lent to adding over 100000 cars to-
the number available for public use.
How to Solve Problem.
"There are from 2500OO to 100000
points in the United States where
freight is received and delivered. 1t
is estimated that quicker loading and
unloading would increase the number
of available cars by $4,000.
Now, If the public will cooperate
with the railroads in loading cars to
their full permissible capacity and in
releasing equipment promptly, maxi
mum efficiency will be secured and the
problem solved.
"All shippers should ask for only the
cars they need and when they need
them; use fully, load promptly. re-
lease quickly.
"Ths commission requests and urges
the shippers of Idaho and the railroads
Of this state to join hands in helping
to solve this transportation problem
during this national crisis"

The Point Of uinn

A. E. Needham, a Muncie lawyer. is
proud of a summer cottage erected by
him on the shores of Lake wawasee.
where his family lived for several
months, and where he spent the week
ends, says the indianapolis News. Dur
ing the summer an elderly country
woman who knows the Needham fam
lily called at the home of a relative
and was told that Needham and his
family had gone to the country 10
live" The other day she was In the
city, again and, seeing Needham in the
street, rushed up to him and said:
We'll, cheer up, Bert; it amt so had
even if you did have to move out into
the country. Your folks got their
start that way and you're a young man
vet and have plenty of time TO get a
new start in the world, 1 look TO see
you and your folks living back in town
again in another year."

DESTROYER OF THE FRONTIER
Aircraft Promises Such Swift and Easy
Transportation That Peoples Will
Not Be Rooted in Soil.

If you went in the ordinary way
from the Italian city Turin to Eng
land, you would change trains three
times, cross the channel by boat, force
yourself to be patient while locomo-
tiyes coaled and took on water, pas
sengers embarked or alighted along
the railway, and customs officers went
through their fussy examinations. A
proper allowance of time, we would
say, would be SO hours.
The other day. Captain Lauriat of
the Italian aviation corps made the
journey by airplane in u hours and
2 minutes. For him, there was no
such thing as frontiers, no delays ex.
cept those he himself wiiled, no Off
Gals in seedy uniforms to make a
mess of his baggage unless he selected
to let them. l.
1t is the idea of internationalists
that we'll have a world state when
everything is so mixed that there Is
no strengthening II out by national
command, when borders can be
crossed as one would county lines,
when transportation is so swift and
easy that no peoples can be or will
desire to be rooted in the soil. Well,
should this come about, the world has
the instrument which will compass It.
1t is the flying machine.-ToledO

To Keep the Face
Fresh, Clear, Youthful

More important than the cosmetic
care Of the complexion is its physical
care. To keep the face clear, fresh,
youthful, there's nothing better than
ordinary mercolized wax. 1t absorbs
the soiled or faded WORKOUT skin par
ticle. Cosmetics simply add I'M
wholesomeness to the complexion. That
is the difference. By all means, ac-
quire the mercolized wax habit. It's
so easy to get an ounce of the wax at
the druggists, apply at night like cold
cream and wash it off next morning
There's no detention indoors, the old
skin coming off so gradually no one
suspects you're using anything. When
in, a week or two the alluring you'll
full, roselike underskin is fully in view
well, you won't want, or need, a
makeup complexion after that. 1t
must be apparent that this process
means complete radiance of all cuta-
neous blemishes, like freckles, pimples,
blotches and blackheads.
For wrinkled, loose or saggy ckin,
a face. bath made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saXolite in half
pint witch hazel, surpasses massage
cream and everything else for seults.
It's action is instantaneous, and per-
fectly harmless. 1t improves facial
contour wonderfully.-Adv.

BEST THEATRE.

Today-In "The Undying Flame"
Nine Petrova's first Lasky-Paramount
picture, one of the strangest facts OF
human experience is touched upon
and in fact forms the basis for the
whole weird and mysterious story
which has been cleverly woven around
it. This is the very common sensa-
ton of having been in place before
or having performed exactly the same
actions in relation to the same per-
sons, whom perhaps one has never
seen before.
In "The Undyng Flame" we have a
charmingly modern young English girl
experiencing this sensation, and it
puzzles her greatly until one day a
happy accident brings mystic scarab
into her possession from the hands OF
gypsy who tells her that when the
other half shall be found she will
know that her destiny is at last full
filled.
The fascinating manner in which
the other half of the mystic charm
comes into her life and the happi-
ness that follows may be seen at the
Best theatre today, where THE I'm
dying Flame, starring Madame Pc
trova, will be the attraction.

A CREAMY LOTION
u
MADE WITH LEMONS
Prepare a quarter pint at about
the cost Of small Jar Of
common cold cream.

When this homemade lemon lotion
is gently, lnassaged into the face,
neck, hands and arms daily, the skin
naturally should become soft, clear
and white, and the complexion dainty
and attractive. H.. 81.
What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through fine cloth
the Juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
CT orchard write, then shake we'll and
you have whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for a small jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets
into the, bottle, then this lotion will
remain pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands II naturally should
help to whiten, clear, smoother and
beautify. =
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and. the grocer has the lemons.
In this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
ladies can easily prepare and have an
inexpensive toilet aid which perfectly
satisfies their natural desire for a
beautiful soft skin-Adyt,

The Orpheo management announces
as the attraction for next Monday and
Tuesday, Thos. H. Ince's $1,000,000
spectacle, "Civilization," direct from
the Criterion theatre, New York. Much
has been said and written about this
wonderwork of genius and learning,
but half has not been pened that could
be in behalf of such noble and dig
nified work. In fact, the average vo-
cabulary lis poverty stricken waste
when compared with the soul-stirring
eloquence of the picture itself.
"Civilization" is dedicated to the
mothers Of men and by reason Of that
fact, or, perhaps, in sipte Of it, makes
it's strongest appeal to humanity
because, we all had mothers, and we
all welcome tribute to her who suf-
fered that we might be. It is indeed
beautiful thought, magnified ten
thousand times.
