The National Underwater, an in
surance paper, says that the favorite
plan of booze peddlers transporting
liquor from wet to dry territory is to
use stolen cars. 1t seems that the
same fellows who violate the anti
liquor laws also violate the laws
against stealing automobiles. Why
not license automobile thieves in
stead OF forbidding the theft of auto
mobiles?

WAR TIMES AND DRINK

The tendency of liquor is to heat
the head, and should not be INDUCED
in at time when every man should
keep a cool head and a cautious
tongue. Liquor should be made as
hard to get as possible in these times
and under the conditions which ex-

was educational. TO say the least. to
the occupants of the press car.

TO OPPOSE DRAFTS
WHEN PEACE COMES

In spite Of the fact that there is
there will be no cessation OF military
activity when the armistice is signed,
and that drafting of men will go
ahead. leaders in Congress made it
more plain than ever today that war
activities would be curtailed just as
soon as 1t was seen Germany was
helpless to continue the war. This will
include the calling of a halt on the
drafting of men.
Congress will demand that drafting
of men be speedily stopped after the
armistice is signed.
HOke Smith COnfers.
Senator Hoke Smith, prominent
Democrat and member of the Senate
Military Committee, who was in con-
ference with War Department chief
tains today, predicted there would be
halt called on a great deal OF mill
tary activity soon after the signing
of an armistice.
THE drafting OF men will not be
necessary after an armistice is sign
ed" said Senator Smith. "If IL is not
stopped Congress will pass a joint
resolution to stop it,"
II believe that the men now in
camps, in training to be officers,
should complete their training in or
der that the country in the future
may-have the benefit of it IL needed.
Germany is beaten. There is no,
doubt OF that. She cannot continue
the war.
To Watch Purse Strings.
Congress, once an armistice is
signed, will take control OF the purse
strings. A careful scrutiny will be
kept on all appropriations and expen-
ditures. Congress will act in this
matter, I believe, without partisan
ship. Economy will be insisted on,
especially in appropriations for the
fiscal year beginning next July l."
Senator Smith declared the real
problem now was not the defeat of
Germany, for she was already de-
feated, but whether Germany was to
be kept from breaking up, and to
be kept out of the hands OF the reds,
so that it can be responsible for in
IDENTITIES and restoration of Belgium
and part OF France.

SWATTiNG THE KAISER.

Harry L. Day, brother of Jerome
Day, State Chairman Of the Demo-
cratic party, in recent interview, pub
lished in the Capital News, asks the
following question:
But who is opposing the war by rails
ing false issues, stirring up strife, and
creating unnecessary friction in this
time of terrible emergency? Nobody
but the Non-P Partisan leaders, support
ed as they are by all the pro Germans,
all the l. w. WIS all the Socialists and
all the anarchists comprising the dis
loyal element of the state.
l am aware that not all the men,
bership of the league is disloyal; far
from it,. But / am also aware, as -
every intelligent man, woman or child
in the state that all the disloyal ele-
ment in idaho and elsewhere is for it.
Is not this fact enough for the loyal
people who have been misled, by de-
-ceit and sophistry, to espouse it?
Mr.. Day repeats in almost the exact
words, a statement made many times
by the Journal. If you are loyal
citizen, THINK 1T OVER before cleo
ton day.

S. D. TAYLOR RESIGNS.

S. d. Taylor, Republican state chair
man, has rendered his resignation as
the result of a confession of having
i1rged Frank Gooding's narie to let
ter purporting to be a bid from Good
Ing to the Non Partisan le igue for IN
endorsement as candidate for s. 5eT-
ator. Mr. Gooding states that until he
saw the letter published he had never
heard of it's existence. Mr.. Taylor i'm
mediately confessed having written 1t
on the blief that it would be wise
political move to catch the Non-Par
tisan vote for the Republican ticket.
Taylor, by resigni1g, shows that he
possesses streaks OF wisdom which un-
der pressure may be brought into ac-
ton. In times of peace politicians may
daily with questionable factors, occa-
sionally and get away with it, but just
now the fighting spirit Of Idaho is
aroused and no man with taint of
disloyalty need look for favorable pub
lie action.

ORGANIZE LOYAL LEAGUE.

The frmers of Goodi1g county have
started a move which should be copied
in every. county in Idaho. The follow
ing pledge and preamble used by them
is sufficient explanation:
We, the undersigned farmers Of
Gooding county being ourselves 100 20
loyal Americans, believing that many
of our friends and neighbors have been
hisled by unscrupulous organizers,
who are willing to create national dis
organization and class dissension in
exchange for political advantage, and
having satisfied ourselves that ma
jority of the members of the Non-Pa
tisan league are honest and patriotic:
Therefore, for the purpose of proving
to the public, the state and national
governments, that a large body of
farmers repudiate the methods and
practices of the Non Partisan league,
and of giving our support to the sail
ors on the seas and our boys in the
trenches in this hour of our nations
peril, do hereby bind ourselves, each
to the other, that we will do our ut
most to stamp out the insidious prop
aganda represented by Townley and
and to free our state from
the menace of disunion adroitly pro-
NOTED by the founders of the Non-Par-
tisan league, and for such purpose do
hereby constitute ourselves the Good
ing County 100 % American Club.
