THE BOSSES
THE MACHINE POLITICIANS AND
BOSSES ARE GOING TO MEET
THEIR WATERLOO IN THE
ATHEIST PRIMARY
AUGUST PRIMARY.

Hon. James A. Hughes, the West
Virginia Commoner, is the peoples
candidate for the nomination for
United States senator and his sup
port will come from the masses, the
people who constitute the rank and
file of West Virginia citizenship,
the people who know that it is their
duty to choose their own representa-
tives rather than have them selected
by the machines and the bosses.
The machine dominated the poll
tics of this state to such an extent
that the people had no choice what
ever in manning a candidate for Of
fee. They naturally grew tired of
this condition and as result of
clamor and public opinion, the pri-
mary law was passed, which gives
every man the right to go to the
polls and vote for the man whom he
thinks is best fitted TO perform the
duties of the office. This is the best
law that was ever placed on the stat
ute books of this state, for it gives
every citizen the inalienable right to
vote his sentiments without being
dictated to by the bosses. These per-
nicious politicians fought the primar.
ry law because it would rob them Of
their prestige and influence. The
days of the political boss are num-
bered and he knows it. His in
fuence grows. less and less each year
and happy will be the day when he
is relegated to the vale OF oblivion,
for on that day the people will come
into their own. The machine and the
bosses are not supporting Mr..
Hughes in his candidacy, but the
people are, and on the 9Th day OF
August their voice will be heard in
no uncertain tone and victory will
be perched upon the banner OF their
candidate.1PoIitical Advertisement.

1t is commendable optimism which Baron
Burian shows in his reported statement that
there is hardly any difference between the gen
both belligerents, but we should say it was very
poor judgment. If he thinks that the only OBJ
staces IN the way of an immediate peace dis
cussion are those of variations as to details, he
either has not heard the ideas of President Will
son on the subject or he does not understand
the temper of American thought. Differences
in principal will come up for consideration only
when there has been established a government
in the German empire which can be depended
upon to respect its pledges and promises; the
Allies are not spending millions of men and bill
lions of dollars to determine whether one piece
OF territory shall be German or French or Eng
lish Territorial alterations, the limitations to
ornaments, and such material considerations
are Of secondary Importance in the minds of the
allied nations. Their prime purpose, as Mr.
Wilson has 50 frequently and so convincngy
proclaimed to the world, is to drive German au-
tocracy from the world-to obliterate complete
~ all vestige of government which cares moth
ing for those rights which civilization has pro-
nounced nalienable which regards it's subjects
only as material to be sacrificed to satisfy the
desirs of few. America is pledged to nothing
short of the overthrow of German militarism !;
and it cannot and will not pause to discuss any
peace proposals until its primary aim has been
realized
There is reason to believe that Baron Burian
shares the apparent widespread German inn
preston that America could not be drawn into
conflict from other than selfish motives. If
that be true, it will be costly experience for
Austria to find conviction; for America is in
the war without immediate national gain, and
on that basis she dedicated her every resource
to the accomplishment of an essentially altru-
istic purpose which may demand million men,
but which will not be embarrassing by any de-
mand. She took the step into the war only af-
ter mature elaboration; she has made her pre-
parations without hurrying to such an extent
that her efficiency was endangered; and on
Monday she showed with undenable conviction
what the fruits of her preparation are to be.
America has just begun to fight the Germans
in arms; what happened on Monday will be re-
peated time and time again before the war is
through. Even as her enrty was grimly forced
upon her, so will her performance in the war be
Grimly influential. With no passing interest in
the struggle she will render no passing contri-
button to the fight. She holds the sword of de-
cision, we believe, and the fighting will not be
ended until that sword has been driven home.

COMPLETE YOUR LIBERTY BOND
PAYMENTS

Do not fail to complete your Lib
erty Bond payments is the appeal of
Secretary of the Treasury William
G. McAdoo. as sent to the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District Liberty
Loan Headquarters.
Following is the secretary's ap-
peal:
MANY employers throughout the
country have rendered most patriotic
assistance in the distribution of Lib
erty Loan bonds to their employees
and have assisted them in the pur-
chase of these bonds by arranging
that payments may be made In in
stallments covering a period of time
longer than that which could be
granted by the Treasury Department.
1T is the duty of the subscribers
to bonds on these partial-paymen'
plans. to complete the contract into
which they have entered. II they dc
not do so, both they and the Govern.
ment suffer, as the bonds for which
they have contracted and for which
they do not pay in full must usually
be sold in the open market.
ut is, of course, recognized that II
case of necessity caused by sickness
or other unavoidable circumstances
cancellations or sales OF bonds ar
warranted. In cases where employee
have made arrangements TO purchas
1 these bonds on installment plans an
then sever their connection with III
4 employer with whom they have mad
subscriptions. arrangements shoul
be made for the completion OF tn
subscription or for having the SUI
!. scription taken over by the new en-
ployer or by bank in the commui
ity where the subscriber resides, thu
J. avoiding the necessity for sale OF IN
n bonds covered by the subscription.

HAY GROWERS ORGANIZE

At recent meeting held at Sho-
shone by the farmers of this county
the matter of a market for our hay
was discussed and at this meeting
County Agent Avery was selected to
visit the eastern Oregon and Wash
ington and the northern points Of
this state In hopes that a market
might be found. On his return Mr..
Avery reported shortage OF hay at
the points visited and that ready
market could be found there. AS
result OF this trip steps were taken
at once to form an organization OF
the hay growers OF this section the
main object of this association being
to find a suitable market and dispose
of the surplus hay at satisfactory
price.
At the meeting held the Lincoln
County Hay Growers Association was
formed and Mr.. Wildes Veazie Sc
lected as manager. Mr.. Veizie will
devote his entire time to the market
ing OF the hay and already has orders
for a large number Of cars and other
orders on hand to be confirmed. The
price to the grower will be $4,000
per ton, F. o. b. Jerome, the grading
to be made here by a state grader.
| Arrangements are also being made
by Mr.. Veazie whereby all orders
which he receives are to be guaran'
teed by banks at the point to which
shipment Is to be made, and with the
grading being done at the shippint
point the growers will know exactl,
what to expect from each car Of hay
Mr.. veaxie is very anxious to heal
from all those owning balers or wh'
are looking for jobs hauling hay a
he has a number of orders on han'
to be filled at once.
All those who have a surplus o
hay will do we'll to see Mr.. Veazi
at the office OF A. B. Stevens and lis
your hay with him. 1t is to be re
gretted that a few OF our grower
have been compelled through lack
necessary money or other reasons I
sell their hay as low as $1,000 pc
, ton. which is not fair price consic
, ering the high wages paid the pas
, season for farm labor and froi
! the fact that there is scarcity

2 tions.

DID IDAHO START SOMETHING'S

At the beginning of this great war
there was call for volunteers. Ida
no stepped forward with her full
share or more. When the draft was
instituted of course furnished her
full part. The need of funds to
equip, and feed, and transport. and
supply with munitions millions Of
men was very great Money had to
be raised. There were four success
i've Liberty bond drives: Idaho did
more than her allotted share In each
one of them. In addition two bill
lion dollars were to be raised by the
purchase of War Savings Stamps.
Idaho was allotted a quota of be-
tween eight and nine millions. The
Government is needing and counting
on the money from this source.
Did Idaho start something which
she could not finish? And is she
going to be backed up into a corner
and have to acknowledge 1t? This
query is forced upon us by coDsid-
GRAFTON OF the TACT that sne mas ac-
counted for only three millions of
her War Savings quota while she
has much more than that to take up
during the short time remaining be-
fore the end OF the year. OF course,
1t is preposterous to suppose for a
moment that Idaho cannot do her full
share in this respect, 1t is simply a
question of whether she is determin-
ed to do so or whether she is willing
to have perfect record spoiled by
falling down on her War Savings
quota What an anticlimax 1t would
be, especially at one of the greatest
moments in world history when the
world war has been won and the
Hun menace has been brought to its
knees AS citizens of Idaho it seems
almost too ridiculous for words tC
suppose for a moment that with the
end in sight she will be too lazy t'
finish her job in workmanlike man

FARMERS AND LABOR SHORTAGE

Reliable estimates from marketing
centers show that there will be
great shortage of beef and mutton
supplies next year.
Shortages OF wool all over the
world will cut down regular supply
of mutton as sheep and lambs must
be held for their feeces.
Hundreds of thousands of young
cattle are being slaughtered on ac-
count of the scarcity of feed.
Take the hay crop alone: Users
will all testify that the greater part
of all hay sold is bleached out and
lowered in food value.
This hay is from 10 to 40 per
cent damaged in value as stock food
because there was general shortage
of labor to make hay crop.
The farmers had cut the hay,
but it lay in the field for weeks and
months while sun and rain bleached
the life out of it.
The people must be brought to un-
derstand that there will be excessive
" high cost of living until farmers
have abundance of labor.
1t is idle for labor unionists to de-
mand that all men on farms get
union scale of wages or work only
eight hours a day on farms.
The theory that there must be no
cheap farm labor of any kind is fatal
to the prosperity of the country.
