THE DANGER ZONE

When the Farmers Union or tn,
Grange attempts to endorse any DO
lltlcal party, they are entering the
danger zone, planted with floatinl
mines and infested with submarines
one OF the cardinal principles oil
both organizations is to steer clear Of
partisan politics. Both have the right
TO endorse or oppose political poll
cles, but they have no right to en-.
dorse or denounce political parties
The reason for this is obvious. Their
membership is made up of voters OF
all shades of political opinion, repub-
Ilcans, democrats, prohibitionists, So
clalists and non-partisan leaguers. II
the members of any one of these po-
litical parties should try to secure
the endorsement of the Farmers
Union or the Grange for their party.
they would disrupt the organization
The result would be the same if any
political party with which some OF
the members are affiliated should be
singled out for denunciation. The
men and women who are loyal to
the Farmers Union and the Grange
and have the interests of those or
CARNATIONS at heart will insist that
partisan politics be rigidly excluded
from consideration at their meetings
Many members of the Union and
the Grange in Idaho and Washington
have joined the non-partisan league
Their patriotism, loyalty and good
citizenship can not be questioned
They have the same rights and priv.
lllges in the Union and the Grange
as have the republican and demo
cratic members of those organiza
tions, but no more. 1t is perfectly
proper for either organization t.
pass resolutions setting forth that il
is not affiliated with any politica
party, but it is the height of folly
~ Ni'HNi ~ "uOpl IeSoiullOliS Ell
dorsing or denouncing any particular
political party.
Many a promising and useful or
ganization of farmers has beer
wrecked by a torpedo loaded with
charge of partisan politics. TIL,
Farmers Union and Grange shoulc
be constantly on the watch for tn,
periscope of partisan submarines, 70
they mean danger.

The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an eX-
animation for the county of Whit
man, Wash, to be held at Pullman,

A GOOD TEST

The leaders of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor have proposed a fine
test to apply to strikes. 1t is: mo
strike should be inaugurated which
can not be justified to the man risk
ing his life on the firing line in
France"
This is not only a good standard
Tor the testing of labor troubles. but
for the testing of every act of every
citizen of the United States. No low
al man or woman can afford to now
DO anything which can not be justi-
fled to the boys at the front.
II you are thinking of buying a
new pleasure automobile, you should
consider not only the question of
whether you can afford it, but also
whether you have given enough
financial support to the war. to iusti-
fy the purchase to the boys who are
fighting for you
If you are still using bread con-
tanning wheat flour, because it is
cheaper than bread made entirely of
substitutes, the question is can Won
justify your action in the ewes of the
boys who know of what vital i'm
portance it is to keep our armies and
those of our allies supplied with
wheat?
III you can not buy your share o!
Liberty Bonds or war savings STAMPS
without seriously inconveniencing
yourself, the question is can you JUS
tify your refusal to buy to the BOYS
when they come back from the front ?
II you are asked to give a part of
your time and energy to war work,
and feel like declining, think what
your answer would be if the request
came from the lips of boy who is
offering his life in your defense.
The boys in the service are doing
their part and more than their part
and they have right to know lust
what each person back home Is doing
TO help win the war, and to measure
those actions by the standard of their
own sacrifices.
When these boys come back, bear
ing the marks of their suffering and
with their hearts filled with men,
cries OF their comrades who will
never come back, it is going to be
very hard to justly your acts to them

What more do you want?"
What more. Good God, do such
people realize what this war means :?
Do they realize after paying all the
taxes and buying all the bonds and
denying ourselves every luxury and
doing all the other things we are
asked to do that we will still have to
multiply our sacrifices by a thousand
before we even approach the price
paid by the people of Belgium and
France?
Every man who isn't taking this
war home to himself and making it
a part of his life is a nonessential
Every man who does not make re

thought back of every action of his
daily life is not living up to the pos
sibilities of his citizenship. He is
not doing his part in the glorious
work for the liberation of humanity
from despotism.

PLAYING OF QU0ITS
Is NOW PROHIBITED
General Pershing Has Put Ban
on Horseshoe Game.
Huskies Have Not Hesitated to Back
Horses Into Quiet Corner and Rip
Shoes OFF Innocent Animals
MAY Use Mule Shoes.

The American army in France, Il Is
reported, has been embarrassed at va
rious times by the sudden breaking
down Of horses engaged in the trans
rCrt service. Investigation showed
that the horses were unshod. their
steel shoes having been removed mys.
toriously. Further investigation
showed that the shoes had been TAX
en- Off the animals by the doughboys
In order to pitch quoits, nothing being
SO good for the purpose as horse
shoe.
Quoits always has been great
American game. II It wasn't for
qCoits and going to the "deepo" to see
thu 2:38 come in, life would not be so
fascinating for prominent citizens Of
many bucollc burgs.
Over In France time hangs bit
heavily around the camps occasionally,
and there has been great revival Of
"pitchln'." The more the game has
spread the more demand there has
been for horseshoes. Now, there is
one thing you can say for the Ameri-
can doughboy. When he wants any
thing he goes and gets It, whether It
be Hun or horseshoe. Various
Thousands Of husliles, needing horse
shoes, have backed transport horses,
cavalry horses. all kinds of horses into
corner and with little more than q
"whoa, boy" Of preparation, have
ripped the shoes Off the innocent ami
mails and then proceeded to get into
the game.
Mr.. John J. Pershing p, said to be
What Is called "peeved." He has Is
sued orders prohibiting the playing Of
quoits with horseshoes, on pain Of 30
days In the guardhouse for the first
o.fense and three months imprison-
ment for the second.
II the doughboys wish to pitch
quoits, he says he has no objection,
Gut they must lay Off the use Of horse
shoes. He gives full permission to
them to take oil the mule shoes they
desire, that Is, IL they take them of
the hind or southern extremities Of the
gentle creatures.
II looks rs II Il will be closed sea-
son for quolts In France so long as the
war lasts IL Pershing persists in look
