cHApLAlns TELL OF FRONT
Moral and Religious Situation There
Declared to Be Excellent, and
Will Stay That Way.

Chaplains Francis B. Doherty and
Lyman Rollins have just returned
from France on military mission to
the United States.
Chaplain Doherty is attached to gen.
eral headquarters in France, being as.
ISOLATED with Bishop Charles II. Brent
and Chaplain Paul Dwight Moody (son
of the well-known evangelist of that
narne) In the general headquarters
chaplains' office. The function of this
office is, declares the religious public
ity committee, the direction and dis
tribution Of chaplains' activities in
France to the end of the attainment Of
the best and special interests Of all
concerned, under General Pershing.
This. work carries with 1t considerable
travel and gives an intimate knowledge
of the situation from religious and
moral point of view.
From this broad knowledge Chap
lain Doherty says: Everywhere we
find the same situation, here the same
story; the condition and the spirit OF
the men are excellent" When leaving
France on his present mission the
chaplain asked General Pershing:
MAY we not tell our people in Amer
lea that the moral and religious situa-
ton here is eminently high and very
satisfactory" The reply was: Eyes,
and you may say furthermore, that it
is going to be kept up to that"
Chaplains Doherty and Rollins spoke
enthusiastically of the altogether adj
mirable spirit of fraternity existing
between those who are ministering to
our soldiers. The Catholic chaplains,
they say, are not merely looking to
the good Of the Catholic boys nor the
Protestant to that of the Protestant
boys; each is working for the best in
terest Of every man.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES HAS STOPPED

The president of the United States
has offended his countrymen with
out cause. He has issued a state
ment calling upon the people of the
Union to vote the Democratic ticket
for congress because it will, he says,
hurt our standing, abroad and
weaken the faith of the allied nations
in our war intentions, to elect Re
publicans.
Could president give greater
Loffense to the members of a party
that have separately and collectively
backed him in his war measures?
And he says in the face OF the ac-
acknowledgement by himself that the
Republican members of congress
have supported his war measures.
He was elected on the pacifist slo-
gan, HE kept us out OF war, when
Mr.. Hughes and the Republican party
were clamoring for war. He held
back until the clamor for prepared
ness drove him to act, and now he
has the effrontery to appeal to these
same Republicans to vote Democrats
into congress to assure the allies
across the seas that I'VE will stay in
the war and push it. According to
the president, these Democratst who
were against preparedness and I war
two years ago are the only simon
pure. fighters now and must be
elected. He makes reference IN his
statement that is interpreted by
many men to mean that the men
lover there" are all Democrats and
that we must elect none but Demo-
Gratis SO they may be encouraged.
When President Wilson was writing
his endless array of notes the Re-
publicans were shouting for pre-
paredness or declaration Of war,
and now the president insists that to
elect Republicans would be signal
that the nation is not endorsing his
war activities. Republicans have al
ways been noted for their construc-
tive ability, and for long time, Pre-
sident Wilson called only Democrats
to take charge of the great war pro-
blems, but after months of failures
such as the shipbuilding scandal,
those 5000 wooden ships they were
going to build so quickly, he began
calling Republicans to the task, such
men as Charlie Schwab and long
list of others who took charge OF i'm
portant departments of war work at
a dollar year, and then things
began to move. 1t has become a ma
tional scandal that. the president
gives the high-salaried jobs to the
Democrats and the dollar-a-year jobs
to the Republicans. And that isn't
all, the Republicans take up the work
and make things go. IA
The Shame of 1t
President Wilson is the author OF
that statement Politics is ad-
iourned," for this campaign, for we
are all working to win the war. And
now, on the eve of election, he not
only stoops below the dignity of his
high office, to make a political APP
peal, but after declaring that politics
is adjourned, he makes the greatest
effort of which he is capable, makes
it on partisan lines, and on lines that
neither ring true nor are true under
the record. 4,g.
In his statement, the president
says that this Ia, a time for plain
words, spoken to the point, and we
take him at his word and speak to
the point-the president of the
United States has stopped to offend
his countrymen without cause. It
ia time for Americans to check
autocracy wherever they find 1t.

WHAT LOCAL FOLKS THINK
In THE PRESENT CRISIS

An unpleasant duty has just been
commenced in this county by the pro-
scouting attorney. We refer to plac-
ing a popular local man on trial to
determine his guilt or innocence of
an offense or series of offenses
against the public.
1t requires courage to meet such
duty especially in the face of the
opposition from what might be
termed high sources, for opposition
turks in diver places. The most
powerful opposition is in the county
seat and the country close to town,
among people who have been vari-
ous1y spoken of as the social set, the
leading people, lodge circles men of
high standing ETC., etc.
1t was a hard blow to the people
of this county when announcement
was made of losses and offenses that
are not now disputed nor denied.
From the hour when the first blow.
fell, this paper began taking census
of expressions of all who were heard
talking on the subject. 1t has been
an interesting task, and reveals
much about the character of our
citizenship. When a man is charged
with crime, people should keep
hands off, and let justice take its
course, calm, cool, dispassionate and
seeking every scrap Of the truth. II
this case had gone to trial three
months ago, the prosecuting attorney
would have been handicapped by
powerful opposition, and will yet en-
counter some. At that time it would
have come from the following
sources, and people who watch and
listen will know whether such OPPOSE
ton is active now. If so, the first
manifestation will be in attempting
to defeat the prosecuting attorney in
the coming election. Here are the
elements of the community that
would have been arrayed against
him If the trial had been begun in
July:
People who have been borrowing
public money from private source.
Men who were enjoying loans on
easy terms and had to repay the
money on an unexpected call.
Men who were members Of a loose
partnership where one put up the
money and the other looked after
the property, and was embarrassed
by having the capital called In.
Persons whose social and frater-
nal or lodge ties are stronger than
their conception Of right and justice.
People who benefited directly or
indirectly from what happened to the
public funds.
Persons whose moral fiber has de-
cayed thru the custom of having one
standard of integrity for themselves
and their friends, and another for
the rest Of humanity
IT will be an interesting study to
observe who use their influence in
this case without being called upon
by either the prosecution or the de-
tense.

THE FIGHT ON GOODING
AND DAVIS

The Non-partisan league at Boise
are concentrating their fight to de-
feat Frank r. Gooding for the senate
and D. w. Davis for governor. They
are raising the charge that Gooding
employed Horace Mann, the Non-par-
tisan organizer to go into Gooding
county and while talking to Good
ing's friends make the disloyal state
ments for which he has since been
prosecuted! They do not make any
defense Of Horace Mann's statement
nor deny his disloyalty, but merely
bring these impossible charges
against Gooding in their efforts to
sidestep the situation brought about
py Horace Mann's utterances be-
fore his arrest.
D. w. Davis was state chairman Of
the liberty loan committee during the
first three drives. He rendered his
resignation at the close Of the second
drive, but they persuaded him to con-
tinue with the work. At the end Of
the third drive he again offered his
resignation and urged it's acceptance,
and Monte B. Quinn was appointed
to take the place. The Non-partisans
have raised the charge that Davis
was paid $4,000 per day for his per-
sonal services as chairman of the
liberty loan committee and that when
this was found out he was fired. The
facts are that Davis did not ask nor
receive one cent for his personal
servic, but his actual travelling ex-
penses were paid by the government.
The Idaho liberty loan committee
has been commended by the depart
ment at Washington for conducting
the drives with SO little expense; the
record for the state being one of the
lowest in the nation. In the third
drive the expense bill turned in by
the whole Idaho committee was
1899 and for the same drive in the
state of Washington it was $4,000.
Thus do the alleged loyal leaders
of the Non-partisan league in, this
state hound a man who leaves his
own business and goes out and works
for year for the state without COM
pensation. They have attacked
Davis in his personal affairs at
American Falls. While he was going
over the state working on liberty
loan business his cashier in the
bank at American Falls was drafted

"ceIIulon," New Wood Pulp Fiber.

There has, says the Board Of Trade
Journal, been much discussion in the
German press during recent weeks con-
corning wood pulp fiber named Gel
lulon," for which large claims are
made as an efficient substitute for jute,
cotton and other f1bers. 1t appears to
be certain that the fiber is not made
by spinning long strips Of paper run
off reels through water in the manner
which German paper textile substi-
tutes have made familiar. The ac-
counts agree in describing the proc
ess, or processes, as direct manu-
facture from wood pulp. The con-
sui general at Zurich, who has pre-
scented report to the foreign Office,
states that the method employed on
crates on the same general lines as
that used for artificial silk manufac-
ture-that is, by squeezing pulp un-
der high pressure through small holes
in plates.-Engineer.

Wheat Products Exports.

Sir William Goode of the British
food ministry, says that from July
1917, to April, 1918, the United States
exported to the allies 100000 BUSH
els Of wheat products. OF this it is
asserted that 100000 bushels rep
resented voluntary sacrifices by the
American people in their consumption
OF wheat.
