Stamp, or 81. 900, 900 of the Liberty
Bonds. We know of a case where
a very patriotic farmer near Oroi-
no is much grieved because of his
inability to buy a bond at this
time. This mar happens to be in
debt and his credit stretched to the
limit. The Republican would not
consider this man a Stacker because
he finds himself financially cramp-
ed. He would buy his limit If he
could. He would gladly borrow to
buy bonds if he had the credit. He
is just as loyal and as patriotic as
any citizen in Idaho, and will buy
his share of bonds as soon as he
has something to buy with.
We have in mind another man.
He has no ready money. But he
has credit. He sold land and his
money is today drawing 8 per cent
interest. He can go to any bank,
put up his mortgage as security,
and borrow for bonds at six per
cent on a short time loan. This
man is a Stacker if he does not buy
bonds.
We know of another class who
have no idle money. They loan at.
eight and tel per cent. They have
security and can borrow at six per
cent to buy bonds. They are not
only slackers, but plain traitors to-
the United States. They are shirk-

Are You Dressing and Keep
ing" Your Part of Gods Earth?
From the Progressive Farmer.

The Almighty's first command to man was
''to dress and keep" tract of EARTH "And
the Lord God took the man, and put him into
the Garden of Eden to dress it and to
keep it,
| think sometimes that we have never had
that last phrase sufficiently emphasized.
Notice that the Lord didn't tell man just to
see how big crops he could grow on the soil
without regard to how the land should look
or what effect the crop-making should have
on the land. There was in the Lords com
mand certain definite regard both for beau
ty and for permanence of use. Man is di-
rected to "dress" the earth he cultivates !;
that is, to make it fair and pleasing to the
eve, and he is directed to keep it, which
last phrase certainly doesn't mean to let
it become impoverished, quilted and worn
out.
Now if a man takes any piece of ground
in the spirit in which the Lord gave the earth
into mans keeping if he is resolved "to
dress and keep it." | believe he will enjoy
nearly every kind of farm work. He will
never plant flower or a tree, and never
drive down a corn or cotton row without
thinking in effect II am helping dress the
earth by keeping down its thorns and its
thistles and its evil growth, and am stimu-
lating instead the growth of God-given
plants that minister to mans needs for
bread and beauty" He will never plant a
cover crop or stop a wash or bring back
to fertility some famished CALLED spot or old
field without thinking in effect, II am help
ing keep the earth by retaining or increasing
that fertility which alone will keep it fruit
full and dependable nurturer of the endless
generations that are to come after me. Here,
too, l am co-worker with the Almighty, a
fulfller of my Great Fathers first command
to man."

Let's Check Paternalism.
From the Madisonian.

Bishop Warren A. Gambler in a recent is
sue of the Atlanta Journal, sounds a bugle
blast against the rapid drift of this country
toward a paternalistic government. The
great bishop is eminently right when he says !:
"The paternalistic tendency has sprung
up in part from the methods required for
the prosecuting of the war. Under the stress
of the actual or financial necessities Of the
situation created by the war the government
has been permitted to exercise powers and
adopt methods which should not be tolerated
at all in time of peace. In truth, without
an executive order or proclamation the peO-
pie have acQuiesced in a reign of qualified
martial law. That it has been efficient as the
word goes is a fact beyond question. Mar
tial law always goes to its object with direct
ness and efficiency.
But the people will pay far too dearly for
what is called efficiency if they purchase it
at the cost of their freedom, and whenever
the powers of government are unduly eX-
tended the liberties of the individual are
curtailed in exactly the same proportion To
be great a people must be free at all cost
Freedom is necessary to the making of a
nation strong for war even.
SIT may seem to some people an easy and
desirable thing to get money for all good
purposes from the government; but this is q
delusion and a snare. The government has
no money except that which 1t gets from the
people, and they cannot get out of the
treasury more than they put in it. Honest
government is pauper which lives by taking
collections from the people, and they are
required to support it in order that it may
render them certain services in matters OF
good order, public justice, and national Sc
curity 1t must be supported by the people
and transcends its proper functions when il
undertakes to support the people" 49,,
The Madisonian has already viewed with
alarm this paternalistc tendency. Like
thousands of other loyal citizens, however
we refrained from protesting against this
propaganda during the time when our coun'
try was at war. Now that the war is over
we heartily join in this protest, so ably
sounded by Bishop Gambler. As soon as pos
sible we wish to see the railways, the tele-
phones, telegraph lines and express com
panies returned to private ownership. The
| taking over of these was alright as wal
measures, but not for peace times.

PEACE ON EARTH

thanksgiving had new meaning for the
world this year, and likewise Christmas. Not
before have the words peace on earth and
good will to men" expressed so much to hu-
man hearts. Long we have been accustomed
to think of the words as composing notices
for Christmas messages in beautiful print
for yuletide cards and booklets or for the
adornment of churches on the occasion of
Christmas tree gatherings. But during the
past four years humanity-the humane part
of it-climbed its Calvary, even as Christ
climbed his, and as a result humanity has
had the deepest lesson of the ages burned
into its soul. Let us hope that the lesson
will not be forgotten. Let us believe that
the numberless prayers for peace-number-
less here-have been duly numbered Else
where, and that from the tears and ashes
and broken hearts of war may rise a new
earth whose democracy, first taught by the
Master, will never cease to be living
reality.
AS the Christmas bells, after four years
of a world more deeply sunk in deadly war
than at any time since the star guided the
wise men, chime forth the message of "Peace
OAA AAAAIhi, 1CIillllOAlS 40 VI Vic DoOS VI
Bethlehem's manager, let us not forget that
the Babe before whom shepherds bowed, to
whom the wise men, journeying from the
east, made their rich offerings, the Babe at

us not forget that this Babe came bringing
no olive branch, but flaming sword. Let
US not forget that the Babe of Bethlehem,
grown to mans estate, said, 81 come not to
bring peace, but the sword"
If we do not keep the high levels we have
reached if we do not go higher, for there
is no such thing as standing still, the sacr-
fees will have been somewhat in vain. The
form of shining opportunity is at the door,
and the very rafting of the dry bones of
the past sounds like the tinkle of silvery
bells

Terror Whitens Hair.
From Pennsylvania Grit.

Few have not heard narrowing tales of
hair blanched by terror and anguish, but
there has been an inclination to regard the
phenomenon with skepticism, This has been
strengthened by little mention of any similar
happenings in the unprecedented trials Of
modern battle.
There appears, though, in the Policlinico
of Rome an article by DR.. Lutati relating
number of such cases.
The hair of an artillery captain of "a
turned almost completely white during the
two days of the battle on the Piave. A
young lieutenant had barely escaped being
taken prisoner by the enemy, and part of
the hair on one side turned white in the
course of day or two. In another case
railroad man of SO, after bombardment of
his train, had all his hair, brows and beard
drop out. AS they grew again they came in
y hite, but by the ed of eight months the
eyebrows ard beard had returned to their
/ former chestnut color, but the scalp hair
was still white. Another soldier noticed a
| long patch of white hairs on the side of
his head the morning after battle This
white strip was still plain eight months
later, when Lutati first saw it. He has wit
messed further the premature progressive
blanching of the hair i'm several aviators.
