Ray McKaig, the nonpartisan league
agitator demands $4,000 from Gov
ernor Gooding and two Boise papers
to repair the damage to his character
inflicted during the campaign. In
view of the great benefit derived by
the state through the alleged damage,
1t would appear that Governor Good
ing should be commended for the ex-
posture of McKaig rather than be tax
ed to enable him to continue his So
cialistic propaganda.

There were a lot of voters, who. on
account of the power of bureaucracy,
did not dare to say on the streets what
they thought of the democratic ad-
ministration, but they said it in the
secrecy of the voting booth. Free
speech may be curtailed and a free
press cowed, but as long as the bal
lots are honestly counted republic
is safe under the system of secret vot-
ing.

Those foreign born citizens who
would rather forfeit their citizenship
than fight for the country of their
adoption should be taken at their
word. They should at once be depriv-

property turned over to the state and
the cowardly ingrates should be de-
ported to the land from which they
came.

THE RETURN.
(John Burrough)

He sought the old scenes with eager
feet
The scenes he had known as boy;
"Oh, for a draught of those fountains
sweet,
And a taste of that vanished joy"
He roamed the fields, he unused by the
streams,
He threaded the paths and lanes;
On the hills he sought his youthful
dreams,
In the woods to forget hif pains.
Oh, sad, sad hills; oh, cold. cold
hearth,
In sorrow he learned thy truth
One may go back to the place of his
birth
He can not go back to his youth.

The Sunken Submarine
(Harold willard Gleason)

Like some vast prehistoric reptile vile,
Black. Shiny sleek, beneath the sea 1t
Motionless. silent, snout sunk deep ip
mud;
And seems to plot some monstrous
villainy.
About the mass small brilliant fishes
flash,
Scarlet and gold and opalescent
streaks
Against the lifeless monsters sullen
blot;
And feathery water plants of tender
green
With graceful undulations sweep and
sway.
Adding fresh charms to oceans para
disc.
Two ground glass ports, like glaring
google eyes
Unblinking, at these beauties seem to
stare;
While over the slippery hulk slen-
der tube.
Long, SLIM and with a swollen upper
end,
Seems like the feeler Of an octopus,
A cunning snare which, tempting,
lures to death.
Who knows before all life became ex-
tinct
In that foul form, what evil deeds 1t
wrought?
How many women, through its baleful
sting,
Sank through the heartless waves?
What noble men,
Unarmed and unsuspecting, met their
fate,
Their gallant vessels splintered by
the barb
OF some great lurking wickedness like
this,
Which, now forgotten, shares its VIC
Tins doom?

they will be instened to. Our power
to rise within short time and ex-
ert an overwhelming force has been
abundantly demonstrated. The
notion that the United States is an
easy going, money loving nation,
that had no sense of pride, no power
of resistance, no force to make its
principles and standards felt, has
been shattered.
The most frightful threat the
world ever met since the Dark Ages
has been challenged. Cruelty, rapine,
lust, rapacity, brutality, have been
defied and driven into their dens.
The world is once more free to go
the way of honest and peaceful in
dustry.
A great military record has been
made. Our boys have proved that
the fiber of the nation has not been
softened. The feats of our soldiers
compare with anything you can find
on the most golden pages of history.
A glorious record of civic service
has been achieved. Our people have
proved their willingness to sacrifice
to place country and community

last.
Our losses it is true have been IT.

WHAT A CHANGE.

From June till November is not
long time, and yet consider what
change in the destinies of the
world those five months have
wrought.
In June Count Won Room, son OF
the Prussian war minister wh1
organized the Honenzollern victory
IN 1871 set forth the terms on which
the victorious German armies would
grant an armistices-the Germans
were then within thirty-five miles of
Paris. sagXXEV
Here are the terms:
Il. No armisitce until British
forces were out of France and Paris
occupied.
az. Annexation of Belgium and
the channel coast to south of Calais.
80. Annexation of the Briey-
Longwy iron region.
a. Annexation of Belfort,, Tout,
and Verdun, and all French terri
tory east of these forts.
rs. Return of German colonies.
80. Surrender by Great Britain
of coaling stations, including Glib
ralter.
~. Surrender to Germany of the
entire British navy.
IS. Egypt and the Suez canal to
Turkey.
-. Restoration of Constantine
IS king of Greece.
40. Division of Siberia between
Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria.
eli. Payment of indemnity G.
$45, 000,000 900 by the United
States, Great Britain. and France
'12. Occupation of French terri
tories until agreements were car
ried out, costs of occupation being
met by the enemy"
Five months ago nobody in Europi
was quite sure that Germany woult
not be able to enforce those terms
And then came the American
marines at Chateau Thierry and the
Germans began to give way, an'
then Foch ordered his general ad
vance, and the Germans began t.
give way faster, and now an arms
tice is signed that exactly reverse
the whole German program-all i
the brief space of five months.
What difference to the future Q
the world whether that thin line o
American marines held or mo-
whether they inspired confidence i

Dear Mrs. Jayne:

than glad to get them, especially So
on account of the surroundings and
things that had happened short
time before, as my letter will explai l..

village where we were for several
weeks, and from where / last wrote
you, it was a nice little place, and :
did not like to leave it, and neither
did the people living there like to see
us leave, as we had all gotten prettT
well acquainted with them and some
of the fellows could carry on con-
versation in French, to a certain ex-
tent, of course if they couldn't think
of anything to say, they would say,
wee, wee, which means yes, yes, and
get by with it. The lady of the house
where 1 was staying was an elderly
lady, and very good and kind lady,
as was the case with most all OF
them. She had three sons in the
French army, one being killed some
time ago, and one came home on
furlough while we were there,
don't know where the other one was.
She would do all she could for us
to make us feel at home, but ! guess
we paid her for it, as we could buy
eggs from her, at 20 cents per dozen,
cook them on her little stove and
have a regular feed once in while.
The day We left, bid her good bye
and she wept just as if was one OF
her own sons.
| We started on our hike at about
leight a. m. and walked until about
four D. M, stopping about an hour
for dinner. That night We pitched
our little tents on the banks of tht
river Seine and we all took good
swim in it, which felt fine after walk

We detrained at about seven a. m
and started on another little hike
I which after about four hours brough
us to little village where we were
billetted and rested for couple oil
days. Again we liked and rested as
before, then we finally were lucky
lenouEh to get ride the rest of the
way. which brought us to the third
lime trenches, after staying there Tor
about week we moved up little
further and stayed another week.
The next move brought us up to
