MANY reasons have been
given why America is at war.
Elsewhere in this issue is Civ
en- that of one of the standard
publications. The writer
makes numerous positive
assertions that many people
may not be ready to accept,
but from we'll known facts and
events he makes deductions
that accord with the views of
those leading men in our gov
eminent who place their coun-
try's position on a high plane
of idealism as aligned with
forces that, it is presumed,
are working for the establish
ment of greater happiness and
more even-handed justice for
all mankind. Every Ameri-
can trusts that his country is
right in the stand it has taken
and that the result will be for
the best in all nations now
engaged on either side in the
great war.

WONDER is expressed why
Occur d'Alene proposes that
the county issue 5000, 900
road bonds. Why not limit
the issue to SOS, 900, the
amount claimed to be needed
to complete the highway from
Occur d'Alene to Wallace?
A like sum would be forth
coming from the state and
something less from the fed
eral government, making an
extra hundred thousand or SO
for distribution to other parts
OF the county. However, any
proposed bond issue may be
defeated at the polls.

Superstition That 10 Ancient.

In many parts Of Great Britain the
superstition still survives that it is
folly to save a drowning man, as he
will sooner or later do an injury to the
rescuer. The superstition comes down
from our ancestors, yet traces of it ex-
list among the Sioux and other Indians,
who seem to have inherited it from
aboriginal sources. The belief is most
prevalent in Cornwall and various parts
of Scotland.
