lied upon. 1t is more likely case
of repentance after the fact; for it is
well known that in the thousands of
appointments which have become nee
essary in the administration Of the
new revenue laws, great care has been
taken. almost everywhere, to name
none but democrats of the straightest
sect to these places, which all come
under Mr. McAdoo's supervision and
where, If he had really wished to abol-

easy to find a competent republican

30 NOT STOP BECAUSE WE ARE
OVER THE TOP.

Again Shoshone county has made a
proud record in the purchase of Liber-
" bonds. We were asked to take
$S50,00O and we have taken $1,0OO,000.
Two more days remain before the
drive is formally closed and the work
should go on during that period as
aggressively as in the first week Of the
drive The government asked for
subscriptions for $3,000000 ,000 de-
pending upon the patriotism of the
people to raise that amount to at
least $1,000. 100000. 1t will be great
disappointment If the latter figure is
not reached, and 1t will mean that
another issue will have to be offered
much sooner than was contemplated.
There are many people in this coun-
~ who have subscribed more than
their fair allotment and many more
who have subscribed less: and there
are others who have failed to sub
scribe and. who are abundantly able
to do so. To those who have gone
beyond the limits of their obligation,
we have nothing but praise for the
spirit of sacrifice which forgets self
in the desire to help the country in
this hour of need. To those who
have given grudgingly and in a sum
far below their ability, we make a
last appeal in behalf of country that
has bestowed It's blessings without
stint upon its citizens The govern
ment has protected you and given you
prosperity and will continue to do so
II you will come to it's assistance now
IN proportion to your means.
To those who are able and have
refused to buy bonds, or who hope to
slip by with their boarded gold with
OUT DeiIlS discovered, we can only say
that in the eyes of all loyal and lib
erty loving people they are worse than
the Hun who murders our soldiers,
and are unfit to breathe the free air
Of America.
The last days of the drive should be
devoted to increasing the sale Of
bonds, and to rounding up and expos
ing those depraved beings who owe
everything to this free country and
who refuse to help in this fight for
national existence. They are en-
emies of the country and should be
publicly known as such.

Let no one be deceived for a
minute that this fusion idea is
matter of patriotism. so far as II
applies to it's big push. 1t Is pol
itics OF the most subtle kind-the
very thing that II processes to

senatorial situation in Idaho, some
people now urging fusion would
scorn it. Idaho is republican
state. There are two United

Borah is conceded to be over the
top. By what process Of reason

political popularity of Senator
Borah, a republican, entitle the
democrats to the other SENATOR"

Thereupon the notes Of the official

declared that presumably Mr.. Creel

ONE COUNTRY, ONE LANGUAGE.
(Anaconda Standard)

There should be one language in
the United States and one only, and
that, of course, should be the English
language. The policy of this country
has been to make things just as easy
and pleasant to foreigners coming to
America as possible. They have been
encouraged to come to our shores and
have been warmly welcomed. They
have been encouraged to keep up the
language of the land of their birth, to
continue their old customs and ways
They have been encouraged to keep a
warm place in their hearts for the land
they left in seeking better home in
this country. We have catered to the
foreigner. We have made it easy for
them to acquire citizenship and to
vote. Politicians have been largely
responsible for the catering to the va
rious foreign elements in our popula-
ton.
In consequence of this policy, many
foreign elements have remained for
eign much longer than they should
have done or than there was necessity
of doing. They have stuck together
and to their old-country customs and
language, when they should long since
have become thoroughly Americana
ed. 1t is now evident that the policy
was a mistake. Some of the foreign
ers who. many years ago, should have
become thoroughly American, are still
foreigners living in this land.
To be united, we must have a COM
mon language. To become thorough
ly imbued with the American spirit,
the foreigner must become familiar
with the American language If we
have not become thoroughly one peo-
Pile it is because we have permitted
foreigners to retain their own Ian
guage, if they chose, and have en-
couraged them in having and support
ing papers published in the language
of their birth.
In the America that is to be all this
must be changed We must be one
people, with one country, one flag, one
language.

THE HORSE IN WAR.
Continues to Be Necessity in Fight
ing and Transportation.

ing and Transportation.
The report that cavalry is being ac-
lively used on both sides in Germany's
latest and most formidable attack, dis
poses finally of the assertion often re-
peated, that the day of the horse in
warfare had ended Even in the trans
port service the charge was never
true; gasoline plays a great part, but
the horse and his gloomy half brother,
the mule. can go where no motor could
turn wheel. They are indispensable
in war. Past scores of trucks hope
lessly stalled in the mud of Flanders
and up the steep mountains of the
Italian front, horses, mules and don
keys have plodded dragging artillery
or laden with food, ammunition and
the countless things needed to sustain
an army. In the days when cavalry
delivered the final crushing blows In
battle, one horse to four men was con-
sidered necessary; $4,000 are now al
lotted to German army corps of A.
900 men.
To provide these, the Prussians en-
couraged horse breeding in Austria
Hungary, and in the three months be-
fore the war bought half a million
horses, 100000 of them from France.
Great horse hospitals close behind the
Teuton lines save about one-third of
the animals injured or stricken with
disease In spite Of this, Germany is
now able to secure only one-half of
the 100000 fresh animals she requires
each year.
During the first two years of the
war the allies imported more than a
million and half horses, million Of
them from the United States. From
the battle Of the Marine to November,
1917, $4,000 horses were required to
handle the French units: the British
used half million in their last Of

WE MUST PUT THE BOOTlEGGER
OUT OF BUSINESS.

1t is evident that goodly number
of able bodied men are engaged in
bookkeeping at various points across
the Idaho Montana line, and in spite
OF efforts of the sheriffs office, the
traffic continues to thrive. Booze is
delivered over the Thompson summit
above Burke, by way Of Lookout and
along the line of the Milwaukee. A
determined effort should be made to
suppress this traffic, not only because
1t Is a violation of the law and is
most demoralizing to the several COM
munities in this county, but the men
who are engaged in II should be fore
ed to go to work. Nothing is more in
consistent with the patriotic spirit of
the people which calls for the limit of
man power both at home and in
France than the spectacle of men and
probably women, too, devoting their
energies to smuggling booze across the
line. Every effort should be made to
break up this traffic, but it can't be
done by merely guarding the state
line for the bootlegger has wide
range in which to operate and he Is as
evasive as the U-boats in the Europ-
can war zone. Frequent appearance
of drunken men. to say nothing of the

MUST BE NO IDLE MEN IN SHo'
SHONE COUNTY.

The number of idle men in Shoshone
county Is probably not large, but there
should be none. The time has arrived
when the man who is able to engage
in some useful occupation, and who
remains in ideness in the presence Of
the great crisis through which the
government Is passing, must be fore
ed to go to work. The county de-
Tense council has taken the right step
in the matter and that organization
must not stop with merely calling up
on all idle men to go to work. When
the life of the nation Is at stake, 1t
Is no time to raise the question of
authority. 1t Is a question of self
preservation, and the people, who are
the government, have not only the
right, but 1t Is their duty to compel
every citizen to bear his share of the
common defense. In this they must
and no doubt will have the active CO.
operation of the peace officers of the
county and municipalities. In Twin
Falls the city council has passed an
ordinance which requires every citl-
zen, 1t matters not what his financial
condition, to work at some useful oc-
cupation, and every incorporated town
In this county should do likewise. The
man who lacks the patriotism, the
common decency, to make him USE
full citizen at this time must be made
to feel that there are obligations of
citizenship which he dare not ignore.
The shortage of labor in the mines is
growing more acute every day and the
effect will soon show in the reduction
Of the output at a time when the gov
eminent must have the metals. More
men for the fighting front must be
provided in ever increasing numbers,
and the demand for more workers at
home daily grows more pressing. I'm
der these circumstances no man has a
right to be idle, II he can't fight, then
he must be compelled to work
