TN replying to Senator Stone in con-
gress a few days ago, Senator
Lodge expressed the very soul of the
country when he said:
We all owe to the President of the
United States, who is charged with
these terrible esponsibilitles, all
the support we can give him, and we
have done it ever since the end of
April. But our allegiance is not to
the President. Our first allegiance
is to greater things than Presidents
or governments. Our highest allegi-
ance is to the country and the cause;
and if we see things going wrong we
shall call the attention of the coun-
try to them if we can. We shall vote
the President all powers. all money,
as we have in the past; but if the
money is wasted and the war delayed,
if the powers are ineffective, we shall
be traitors indeed if we sat silent and
allowed the country to drift to dis
aster because we were afraid that
would call us reasonable.
WYE do not claim to know much about
finances, Dut III seems 10 US thiS

md local improvements in order that
he money thus used can be loaned to

People who earn money can buy

To Pay Delinquent Taxes

All owners of real property upon
which the taxes were not paid for the
year 1915, or any prior year, will be

the County Auditor upon the Delin-
ouency Certificates issued for delin-
ouent taxes assessed in 1915.
Redemption from such tax sales
should be made without any further
delay at the office of the County Au-
ditor of Gem County, Idaho.

A MERICA cannot afford to do any
thing but look the truth in the
face at every step of the way in this
war 1t sometimes takes courage
to do it, but if we haven't the courage
we're poorly equipped to be in the
kind of a game we're in. There is a
type of government official who thinks
the truth is too strong dose for the
country. He thinks it should be di-
luted so it will go down easy and not
hurt. If anybody tries to get the
truth out of him that person is repre-
scented as critic, trouble maker and
is denounced. 1t is un-American to
adopt the attitude that the King can
do no wrong when American lives are
at stake.
