lions in Russia are being discouraged
by the persistent reports that the
great mass of the American people
are not with Russia, but are with
Germany.
During the Russo-Japanese war
and at the outset of the present war,
we persistently told each other that
the Russians in the ranks did not
know what they were fighting for, or
that they were fighting because they
had to. Now the tables are turned,
and it will take long time for peo-
pie in those countries to find out that
the Americans at the front will &C
tually fight, and that they will not
surrender nor run away at the first
opportunity. All of these things will
make the war harder to win, and il
means that many more of our men
will find graves in Europe due to
the wishy-washy attitude of the folks
at home.

AS A

Have you notion of making po-
tato cellar for storage? Do you hes
itate about building granary? Are
you thinking of storing grain in
sacks that cost about 16 cents each?
Would you do that to save money
and to avoid expense? Here are some
of the items in the equation.
We are raising such crop as we
have never had before; probably 20
or 25 per cent greater than last
year. There is much less labor avail
able for handling it. Railroads are
short of men for their work. The
hauling of war materials has increas-
ed the already tremendous volume
of freight traffic demanding rolling
stock. The work of the railroads has
been simplified by putting all roads
under one central board Of manage
ment, and shippers are learning to
load and unload cars promptly to re-
lease them for other service. Ware
houses are full and cars have to be

used to store goods because there is
no place to unload them in many
places. Patriotism has taken the
place of pettyism with most men, and
they are trying to see how much they
can relieve the great problems facing
state and nations, but the whole aver
age and trend of the situation is
along the line of Lord Nelson's last
maxim, England expects every man
to do his duty"
In this great world crisis con-
science expects every man to do his
duty, whether it is in digging in to
store potatoes for the soldiers who
are digging in along the bullet-swept
front, whether it is in building gran
aries to store grain till it can be for
warded to the starving, or whatsoever
it is, do it for the good of the SER
vice and the security of US all.

TIME FOR YOU TO
WAKE UP

A man or woman in America coult
be excused three years ago for no
believing that America should ge
into the European conflict, but 1t II
inexcusable now for any one to b.
holding that theory.
Three years ago none OF us be
lieved that Germany was trying t.
rule the world. At that time none
of us believed that in case Germany
defeated the allies she would come
to America and forthwith collect OF
take from us the entire cost of the
European war, but recent events
have afforded much proof that sucf
was their intention.
Three years ago few Americana
believed that If Germany secured
peace in draw she would rush pre-
parations to go at it again with full
intentions of conquering America
Few believed that it would be neces'
sary for us to win the war In
Europe to save the necessity of fight.
ing it out in our own dooryards.
But a people. can learn a great
deal in three years. America has
learned that all of Germany's peace
pretensions and all their treaties and
Overtures for universal peace and for
disarmament have been solely for the
purpose of getting herself better pre-
pared and of allaying the fears OF
other nations so they would quit ap-
propriating so much for their armies
and navies, and thus give Germany
greater advantage when the world
conflict was precipitated.
Many people are holding to the
time-honored idea that America
must stay at home and attend to her
own affairs, but that is only half
true, and the latter half of the ex-
preston Isl very much in effect now.
The world war has become our war.
The people who object to going to
Europe to fight, mean by that that
they will let Germany whip the ma
lions one at time and then we shall
face a hopeless fight when 1t comes
our turn. German intrigue has rent
Russia asunder and may yet get her
out of the war and subdue her by
taking advantage of the conflict at
home. Every person who asks for
an exemption furnishes just the
argument the kaiser wants. Germany
has been saying that the Americans
will not fight and are not to be fear
ed. Now when we are raising an
army, 80 per cent Of our men ask
to be excused. That enables the
kaiser to tell his people that four
fifths of the Americans are with him.
Half of Russia is befuddled and play
ing into his hands. Four-ifths OF
America is doing the same. Russia
is wavering as to what to do. AS
you read these lines, no doubt mil
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-08-24
WHOSE FIGHT
is IT?

Whose fight is it, anyway, across
the pond? A good many people have
an idea that there are tramps enough
in the United States who ought tC
be sent to Europe to win the war and
not disturb the stockholders. that is
the property owners of this republic
The tramps never had anything te
defend and protect, people have al.
ways given them the boot, and now
the tramps are not warming up to
the task of defending those who are
comfortably situated and have some
thing worth defending
There Isl a lot of crude selfishness
coming to the surface in people in
consequence of the call to arms. Is
rael Putnam of old, when he heard OF
hostilities, left his pillow in the field,
jumped on one of his pillow horses
and was off to war. But men in
Blackfoot, as elsewhere, have resort
ed to all sorts of subterfuges to get
out of enlistment. Some complain of
their stomachs, some complain of
their heads, some claim they are not
right in their abdomen, and one
strong healthy buck even tried to get
a physician to give him a certificate
that he had a stubborn case of-of
constipation that would disqualify
him for service. The physician told
him that all would be rectified in to-
to when he got under a good scare
on the firing line; that men of his
type needed that kind of a cure, or
something to that effect.
There is deuce of lot being said
now days about the unfairness of
sending married men to the front
That's probably right. If their wives
are not worth fighting for, or if their
wives are too lazy to make a living,
those couples will let out the informa-
ton early in the game if left to their
free expression. There are married
men at home who are not worth the
price of powder to the community,
and there are single men whose
worth equals that of dozen of the
others, but all of those things are
leveled at one stroke in the hour of
national peril, Let nobody belittle
himself by saying his life is more
precious than that of another.

There has been good absorption of
wheat around inside prices, but th5
market does not show the remark
able strength which has been exhib-
tied since the government began TO
advertise widely the shortage OF
food and the poor crop outlook. Raias
in Kansas and Nebraska have helped
the condition Of the growing crop. 1.
is hardly likely that the market will
recover for several days from the
effects Of today's liquidation

felt in corn and the market was er-
ratio with a lower tendency. BRAD
streets make North American sup
plies 12,274.O00 bushels, or consider
ably less than half those of a year
ago. Country offerings are light.
Oats-The weakness in other grains
