difference against the iii. hnt it is
there and perceptible If we look
for il. What have we Of good to
set against the evils OF war!
Our answer would be, greater
national unity. A year ago we
were for the most part a country
If individuals, individual com
munities. individual states Men
were pursuing their own Objects
communities were not looking be-
yond their own Improvements,
states were caring for their own
people.
Now all horizons are broaden
ed. When man sees his son or
his neighbor 5 son going forth to
war. his thought Involuntary
goes out to the environment OF
that hoy, the conditions he viii
meet, and the government which
provides or regulates him. He rea-
lies that the government viii
have to provide these boys with
the simple necessities, food, cloth
ing and shelter. 1t viii also have
to provide them with training,
transportation, weapons, artillery,
and aircraft, for their protection,
services and hospitals for
their care, and hundred other
And the man also be-
gins to realize that it is up to him
in his individual capacity to stand
back of the government, to take
his part in providing these abso-
lutely necessary things in his own
rightful proportion, either from
his abundance or from his bare
sufficieney.
And We need only to see the
banners of the Liberty Loans in
the windows of homes throughout
the land, or know the other sac
rifices that have been made, to I'M
derstand how magnifieently the
individuals have risen to their du-
ty and their opportunity. Every
where in the homes of the rich and
the homes of the poor alike the
emblems signal proudly i have
given as / can to the call OF the ma
ton. 1t is my nation and / am
with ii heart and soul in the hour
of its need. "
We cannot estimate the aggre-
gate sacrifices which this SPLEEN
did showing has required. In many
eases it meant the giving up OF
comforts, perhaps of cherished
plans. But each man who has sub
seribed for his bond or bonds
feels that he is a component part
of his country, that he stands or
falls with it, and that it is a cOun-
try worthy Of his sacrifice. He is
in harmony of feeling with his
neighbor, his community, his state,
and his nation.

HER EFFICIENCY
PROSTITUTED

Occasionally we still hear refer
enee TO the much Wanted Ger
man efficiency. These referenc-
es come moStly from either posi-
tive pro-German sympathizers OF
from timorous souls who throw a
iii whenever this dreadful war
IS mentioned. People Of intellI
genee have long ago learned to
estimate this efficiency ct its true
value. and have ceased to stand in
awe of it.
The efficiency OF Germany is
purely an efficiency of constant
application. Her present militant
condition is the result of a life
time of unremitting attention TO
every conceivable angle of the
game of war. While the other ma
lions Of the earth were quietly
pursuing the paths Of peace, Ger
many was straining every nerve
and devoting an her cecumula-
tions of men and means to the task
Of creating an army and arma-
ment before which the world
would find it impossible to stand
During most Of this time she was
hypocritieally participating IN the
Hague conference and proposing
the total disarmament of all ma
tions. but in the light of recent
developments we know that dur
ing all his discussion her war pre-
partitions were never slackened
Even Germany's efficiency in
the arts and sciences has been
made to serve the dread Mol0eh
of War. In extending her influ-
ence among the nations Of the
earth in these branches, she has
been for years building "spheres
of influence lin other words,
nests Of spies and potential trail
tors against the day when their
services should be needed by the
fatherland.
Yes, Germany has efficiency.

tai destruction Of vessels by her

children attempting to escape in
open boats have been shelled, man.
gled and sunk; evidenced by wan
ton destruction Of civilian life by
her airplanes and Zeppelins; evil
denced by the deliberate murder
of prisoners Of war who, by all
the laws Of nations, should have
received honorable and humane
treatment.
Efficiency in perfidy, as wit
messed in her rape Of Belgium, for
no other reason than that she
stood between brutal tyrant and
his intended victim evidenced by
her attempt to array other nations
against our own country, at the
same time her representative to
our capital was shedding crocodile |
tears over his forced departure |
and separation from his "dear
friends in America doubtless
he took with him for the perusal
Of his butcher master full proofs |
Of his treachery while enjoying /
our hospitality and esteem.
The Germany Of other days was
noted for efficiency, but that eff
cheney has been prostituted to
most ign0ble ends.
God save us from such eff
cheney

trict Court.
During the trial oil a grand lar
ceny ease in the recent term oil
district court in this city, stud
ents of the eighth grade civil
government class of the public
schools were permitted to witnes,
the proceedings and required t.
write papers ON the subject. The
following is Miss Fannie Farrar' ,:
story:
Court is opened by the county
sheriff, who says, Hear We
Hear yel Hear yel The honor
able district court of the tenth
judicial district of the state OIL
Idaho, in and for the county oil
Lewis is now in session.
The clerk then puts about TWEEN
ty-fOur names into box and
shakes the box. From this lot
twelve names are taken out and
as each name is read, the person
takes his place in the jury box
Again the clerk reads off each
man 5 name and each answers BY
saying, Here, or present " Ii
all the twelve men are not there
some more names are drawn from
the box and they do the same a
the other jurymen have done
Then each member of the jury
takes an oath to tell the truth.
The clerk then reads the case
and the judge reads the law.
Then each member of the jury
is examined. Ii any man on the
jury knows too much about the
case, or is any relation to either
the prosecuting attorney, the de
PENDANTS lawyers or the defen-
dant, he is expelled from the jury
and someone else takes his place
The court stenOgrapher takes
his place near the judges desk
and takes in shorthand every
thing that is said
Next, the judge calls on the
first witness. The witness then
takes an oath to tell the truth.
As he tells his story he is ques-
toned by both the prosecuting
attorney and the defendants law
yer.
If the witness is for the defend
ant, he is cross-questioned by the
prosecuting attorney, to get him
mixed up and to find out if he is
telling the truth or not. If the
witness is against the defendant,
he is eross-questioned by the dc.
PENDANT s lawyer.
After the first witness has told
his story, the second witness takes
the stand as the first has done,
and so on until all the witnesses
have told their stories.
Then the prosecuting attorney
talks to the jury against the de-
PENDANT, and then the defendant s
lawyer talks to the jury In favor
of the defendant.
The exhibits, if any, are brot
in and are examined by the jury
After both lawyers have talked
to the jury, the bailiff leads the
jury out of the room and into an
other room, where he locks them
in and watches the door to see
that no one goes in or out of the
room.
Then the defendant is taken
nut of the court room.
The jury has to stay in this |
-oom until they have decided |
whether the defendant is guilty |
n not guilty, if it takes them two
II three days. If it takes them
cry long, their meals are brot i
n TO them. When the jury has
Iecided, they come back into the
curt room. The clerk again
alls the names of the jury to see
all are there. Then the paper,
n which is written whether gull
+ or not guilty, is presented to
he judge and is read by him. The
ldge also gives the sentence.
Court is dismissed by the coun-
Z sheriff.
