MILTTARISM

Being a commercial nation we
shudder at the approach of militar-
ism, and being fairly shrewd ma
ton we shudder because we see II
coming, along with prohibition. Any
, Kind of an animal will fight when
cornered, and even peace-loving pro-
vincial merchants will shoulder a
piece right readily at the thunder
of the enemy's cannon. Ar
AS the world scrap describes large
circles we come into the outer ones,
and our first fever of preparedness
is the sign that we are moving in
accord. First we are affected COM
mercially, and then mentally, by ap-
prehension. We are marking time
soon we shall march and drill.
Now, far-sighted persons, looking
over the heads of the crowd, have
been warning us Of the danger Of
commercialism. They say our once
virile and jealous national pride has
softened and leveled down to COM
plaisance. Likewise we have ceased
to worship at any shrine of the arts,
having put up our own idols OF
wealth and business success. Per-
haps war is the scourge for this
hand-to-mouth and brain-to-hand ex-
istence. Perhaps there must first be
war so that spiritual attainment may
follow. Perhaps the rumor of war
will be sufficient.

A HOPEFUL
SIGN

LastSunday The Idaho Statesman
published an editorial column long
by Payette man 'criticising the edi-
tor of the Statesman and his editor
ial caliber. A striking feature about
it was that the mans points were
we'll taken and the criticism was only
too true.
The one redeeming feature about
the Circumstance was that The States
man published it. 1t has been said
that The Idaho STATESMAN was not
big enough and fair enough to let
the other fellow have a say, but this
circumstance raises The Statesman in
our estimation. We have on many
occasions allowed somebody to COM
bat our ideas in our own paper and
have been told that this was the
height of folly, but it takes a GER
tain amount of folly to succeed any
way, and we are glad to see the big
gest paper in the state exhibit some
of that kind of folly or whatever it

CHANGED THEIR
MINDS

Ten months ago General Pershing
marched into Mexico to capture a
bandit chief, and all the Mexicans
were hatine the Gringoes and ours
ing them They we're expecting the
Americans to commit all manner of
outrages. They found conditions
improved by reason Of the presence
of the Gringoes, and soon learned to
look to them for protection, for JUS
tice and for business and profits.
for many days Pershing has been
moving northward towards the bord-
er with hundreds of Mexicans fol-
lowing the army because they were
afraid to remain in their own coun-
try to be at the mercy of their cDun-
trymen. They preferred to follow
the once-hated Gringoes into a
strange land and take their chances
among strangers. A motley band of
1900 or more crossed the border
with Pershing's army, and those who
remained behind are telling one an
other of the greatness of the Grin
goes and of their uniform kindness
to others,

NOT STORING
SUGAR

When the price of sugar advanced
during the progress of the war it
was reported that the price would
come tumbling down again as soon
as the war closed because Germany
was making sugar as usual and was
unable to ship it, but that the market
would be flooded with German sugar
as soon as the war was over.
For many months the reports have
leaked out that sugar is so scarce
in Germany and Austria that babies
and children are dying from the lack
of it. Sugar was so scarce that it
was long ago put on the list OF
things to be used under strict regula-
tion to make it go as far as possible.
We believe that Germany is bank
rupt for sugar and would herself be
glad to import sugar from Idaho if
she could only get it. Idaho farmers
need mot hesitate I'd get into the
beet sugar business as deep as they
are able.

then sent for the father of the man
who had seen SO much of trouble.
The old man came into their presence
and was informed that his son was
not wanted at Salmon and that it
would be just as well if he remain
ed away. The old gentleman re-
marked that this action on their part
was harsh and unusual, but that If
that was the way they felt about it
perhaps his son would be content to
live at his mines back in the noun
tains. By rising vote they an
nounced that they would deny him
the right to live anywhere in Lemhi
county. The fact that the vote was
unanimous shows plainly enough
that there was in this case the spirit
of the mob. There was no difference
of opinion, and rs men at once in
Dictated that if the trial had gone
against the fellow they would have
abided by the findings Of the court,
but that since it went the other way,
it would be ignored and they would
resort to violence to prevent a legal
ly free man from exercising the
rights he was born with in that
county. They would destroy his
property rights, break up his home
and add an unnecessary load of grief
to his parents.
Granting that the young fellow
was guilty, which he may or may not
have been. the men in the meeting,
morally forfeited their rights of
citizenship, and should be denied the
right to vote for a long period. If
the young fellow knows himself
guilty of the crime he was charged
with, he will probably tone down his
feelings and live elsewhere. If he
was not guilty he knows it, and if he
has the right kind of stuff in him
he will go back to Salmon with some
thing on his hips and stay there till
he has met every one Of the rs men
and looked him in the eye and de-
fed him. Then he will go about
his business and be at all times pre-
pared to provide for himself that
protection which the men of the mob
decreed he should forfeit If he came
home to live. The rs men in the
meeting were a pack of towards from
top to bottom, and the loss of a
dozen or more of them at once could
not be SAID to be premature, for what
account could such characters be
anyway!

TOWN DISGRACES
ITSELF
(Omited last week. }

(OmlteQ last week.
Salmon City, Idaho, has marked
itself as town that wants the laws
enforced when it suits their whims
and wants to set aside the law and
revert to barbarism the rest of the
time. This was made evident at a
mass m3etlng held there last Friday
night lat which rs of the leading
men, of the place went on record.
1t came about in this way:
Four years ago a young man from
Salmon was accused of murder, and
a Salmon jury sitting in Judge Stew
ems court listening to a trial, which
was afterwards conceded to have
been mis-conducted, pronounced him
guilty of the crime and he was sent
to the penitentiary After serving
two years his case was passed upon
by the higher court and he was
ordered released on account of err
rors in the trial, and he was given
a new trial. He took change Of
venue to Lincoln county, and in the
trial there last week he Was acquit-
ted. We do not know whether he
was guilty or not. but that has moth
ing TO 40 Win WHdt udppeHeu dlteT
the court had set him free in a trial
that was held for the purpose Of de-
Gliding the case.
His old home was at Salmon. His
parents were there, and to Salmon
he would naturally go. In Salmon
he had right to remain. Out In
the mountains he had some mining
property and he had right to de-
yelop that property If he chose. Fri
day evening rs men Of Salmon met
together and exchanged views and

A BLOW TO
HORSEDOM

Two thousand horses that have
been used to haul passenger stages
thru the Yellowstone park are being
sold off at once and most of them
will go to European battlefields. No
horses will be in the passenger SER
vice in the park hereafter, and the
automobile will take their place.
The much-talked-of horseless car
riage of 10 years ago was considered
visionary and if practical it was only
to be considered Tor smooth hard
roads with no hills to climb. But
things have been happening to prove
the contrary. San Francisco had its
quake, and in the awful holocost
that followed, the automobile proved
it's worth over horses. Where horses
became frightened and rebelled
against going certain places, when
they shivered and squealed with
fright, the automobile shot forward
over wreckage, it jumped over
beams, it leaped over chasms, it
never became exhausted with long
shifts. Then came the mining ex-
elements in the southern deserts,
and again the horseless carriage went
where horses could not, or went and
returned where horses only went and
died, leaving their human freight
stranded. Then came the hill-climb-
ing tests, the trans-continental trips
with autos, and the war in Europe
All these things brought the auto
to the fore and proved it's worth.
A couple of~years ago it invaded the
Yellowstone park as an experiment,
and promptly it drove out the army
of horses in a fair test.
But the average man thinks the
auto has it's limitations. The aver
age farmer in Bingham county does
not think the auto truck will ever
take the place of the horse for his
hauling. We suggested the matter
to one farmer after another from day
to day on the farms, and met with
universal ridicule. "Never!" says the
farmer. And he begins to enumerate
the things that make it impossible.
He refers to the soft, plowed ground
in his lelds; the bad places in the
highways; the high cost of motor
trucks; the impossibility of making
enough money on farm products to
sport a vehicle that costs a gold
mine. Nevertheless we predict the
coming of auto trucks among the
farmers who live along the best
roads. When they have used it a
while, we shall expect to see the
good roads extended SO the auto
truck can follow, and silently and
without. acclaim, will the shrewd
farmers and stockmen enlarge the
sphere of their motor trucks and re-
duce the sphere of the heavy teams.
The horse as a beast of burden will
disappear as did the oxen. He will
be seen but not in such great num-
bers. He will be seen only in
the fields and the back districts. The
present generation looks upon an OK
team as a relic, and so 1t is. The
next generation may regard a team
of horses with almost as much Curl
osity.
