CLUB OPENS
FIGHT ON NON-PARTISANS

The One Hundred Per Cent Ameri-
can club Of Idaho is something new in
the political armament. It has been
launched to fight the Non-partisan
league, holding that many of the
leaders of the league are, dishonest
and disloyal. A. G. Townley and
arthur LeSeuer are named in the
platform. >&4%.g@ 10y VI
For its first officers the One Hun
dred Percent American club of Idaho
has chosen H. B. Bowers of Meridian
president; M. I. Church of Boise, Sec
rotary; Joe Perrault of Boise, treas
urer; David Farmer of Ada county,
vice president. The executive COM
mittee is composed of W. r. Mitchell
of Parma, A. J. Cramblett of Gooding
county, George M. Evans of Ada
county, John Julian of Ustick and
Frank j. Clayton of Boise.
Start Campaign at Once
Arrangements have already been
made to open headquarters in the
Owyhee Hotel in this city, where
President Powers will be in charge,
during the campaign. 1t is proposed
to enlist the farmers in the organiza-
ton as rapidly as possible for the
purpose of making and aggressive
fight for Americanism. It is claimed
by those at the head of the organiza-
ton that there are now 500 men,
bers in Ada county, 600 in Gooding
and 700 in Canyon.
All Based on Loyalty
1t had been planned to hold rally
at Caldwell with 1000 delegates pre-
sent, but the order of the state board
of health assemblages has blocked
this plan.
Patriotism is made the foundation
of the platform of the new organiza-
ton and call is issued to all loyal
citizens Of idaho on the farms, in
the mills, in the mines, in the towns
to join in the movement.
In its war on the Non-partisan
league 1t is proposed to fight organi-
cation with organization. There are
no dues. fees or assessments of any
kind in the One Hundred Percent
club of Idaho, but all members are
invited to contribute what they can
TO the cause.-Statesman.

Look at their official publications
at their newspapers-they TEEN with
hatred and malice and cheap sensa.
tions--all designed to stir up "social
unrest" to divide the people against
themselves.
t Now, just connect the activities OF
lie Seuer, the national secretary of the
Non-partisan league = of Horace Mann,
the fellow he sent to Idaho, who con-
fessed to being an /. w. w. sympathiz-
:er and pro-German; Of McKaig, for
whom Mann worked, sand of Seholtz,
the manager of the Non-partisan
league In Idaho-and then read Docu-
ment No. 60 again!
Then read what Roosevelt says
about them and all other Non-partisan
league leaders.
He says they are "un-A American and
Bolshevistic."
He also says that every pro- German
in this country is anxious to see them
win in the November elections.
Then review the activities of these
Non-partisan leaders.
Also read the letter of Arthur lie
Seuer, national secretary of the Non
partisan league, to Bill Haywood his
talk about "the damned war"-his op-
position to pending legislation intend
ed to curb the German spies operating
in this country-and then read Docu-
ment No. so again!

Shakespeare "overrated."

Mr.. Justice Darling has admitted
that he knows "a BIT about racing"
He certainly knows more about liter
AZURE, however, and therein differs
from one of his predecessors on the
bench, Baron Martin. Mr.. Adolphus
Liddell, who acted as the baron's mar
shall in 1872, states that he had
prOdigious acquaintance with racing
history and knew the winners of all
the chief events for many years back.
I'm history, literature and art he
seemed to take no interest whatever,
and If ever he had any education
in these he had discarded it. Many
stories were current illustrative Of this
peculiar condition Of his mind, such
as his remark that Shakespeare is an
enormously overrated man. London

HAD NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD
But Officer Realized That Henceforth
Young Austrian In His Command
Was an American.

The Second Indiana artillery is re-
sponsible for this story: In one Of its
companies there is a young Austrian,
who loves America with greater In
tensity than he hates the despotism
"back home." He was one of the first
men from his home town to enlist In
that regiment.
A superior officer had come to in
spect the company. He gave direc-
tons as to the way he was to be sa-
luted, etc. snow, Wen try you odt
and see If you've got all my direc-
tons, he ended. "We'll begin by call.
ing the roll.
II "As your names are called advance
two steps, salute your superior Off
Ger and answer Here"
\ The clerk took up the list Of names
and began calling. And 10, the Aus
TRANS name, like "Abou Ben Ad-
hem's," led all the rest. For few
minutes the young fellow stood hesi-
tating, because he had not understood
much Of what the officer had said.
Encouragingly the officer started to
raise his hand. A broad smile of re-
lief spread over the Austrian's face.
A few rapid steps--he was across the
room, seized his superior officers hand
and gave it a hearty American shake.
Amid roars of laughter the officer
ruefully examined his crushed fingers.
Hes an American now, all right" he
said sagely.

EDITOR AND ORGANIZER SCRAP

Down Dunning, Democratic wheel
horse and organizer from Wickahony,
Owyhee county, was in Blackfo0t
Sunday lining up the Democrats try
ing to get them to swallow their aver
sion to the Non-partisian program,
forgive the theft of their party and
support them anyhow. In converse
ton at the Eccles Hotel in company
with Editor Trego and others he said
he considered it very important that
the Democrats line up this fall and
return Senator Nugent to Washing
ton to make sure that President Will
son shall be supported in his war
measures; that only by the election
of Democrats could this be assured.
Editor Trego interrupted and
asked him if he meant to say that
the Republicans in congress had not
backed the president and the war,
just as loyalty as the Democrats. He
side-stepped the question and said it
was advisable to keep democrats in
congress for the great work to be
done in the reconstruction period fol-
lowing the war.
Asked if he did not think the Re-
publicans had always been the equals
of the Democrats. for constructive
legislature, he again side-stepped and
said he was a Democrat and never
had believed in a protective tariff,
and he did not think the Democrats
ought to let the Republicans in to
have any chance to enact tariff legis-
lation after the war.
Editor Trego then challenged him
to be consistent in his statements,
and not to again cast reflections upon
the loyal Republican senators and
candidates for the senate until he had
something in the record to base 1t
on. lie admitted that Republican
members had been all right up to
date, and that what he really meant
was that he, being Democrat, wants
to keep the e.lpublicans out of the
senate. Editor Trego advised him
that if he would just state his posi-
ton that way, that everybody could
respect him in such wish, but that
If he stopped again to the other state
ment he would not command respect
and would not be entitled to it.
Mr. Dunning said he was making
q quick trip over the state to get the
men of his party lined up to vote the
whole ticket hoping to elect Mr.. Nu-
gent.

Everyone knows that. have an init

far more than these BOlshevik Nom
partisan league leaders, who have no
abiding interest in Idaho or in any
industry Of Idaho. I realize that the
farmers, like all other classes, re-
quire certain legislative relief to meet
the existing conditions Of agriculture
and of other pursuits. But they can't
get relief from the McKaigs and the
Scholtzes and the Samuels. They can't
get relief by following ghost dancers
and BoIshevikism and Socialism.
Roosevelt likens TownSy to Trotzky
and Lenine, who worked the farmers
of Russia-and traded them off to the
kaiser. These Non-partisan leaders
have no use for you, Mr.. Farmer, ex-
cepting to work you for what they
can and then trade you for a few Of
fees so they can exploit this state
and bring in Bolsheviki rule here
and ruin the farming industry and
every other industry.

WHY SHE BECAME CHRISTIAN
Religions Of Orient Make Slaves of
Women, Says Japanese, and
Rebelied.

sand how did you happen to be-
come Christian" I asked Nine. Hi
rooka, a widely known japanese,
writes Tyler bennett in Asia.
II wanted women to be good and l
wanted to help them to improve their
lot" she replied tersely. 81 found that
! could not accomplish what l de-
sired without religion. That conclu-
sion sent me to study religion from
the woman's point of view. l found
that there is no hope for women in
any Of the religions of the Orient
They teach that from the cradle to
the grave women are inferior to men.
They regard women as evil. Confu-
clan ethics, for example, teach that
fools and women cannot be educated.
A woman cannot be Heavenly crea-
ture.' It teaches that it is better to
see snake than woman, for the lat
ter arouses passion.
Japanese women have been so long
oppressed by this kind Of teaching that
they no longer stop to ask why. They
are afraid like slaves. Then I began
to read the Bible. did not like some
parts Of 1t any better than like the
religions of the East. I did not see
why any woman should call her hus-
band Lord and Master st. Paul
made me very angry. He was an old
bachelor; any one can see that. He
didn't know much about women. But
Peter? He was fine. He had wife,
he understood women. One can see
that from his epistles.
when I read the gospels I found
that Jesus made no distinction between
the sexes. I liked that. We are all,
women as we'll as men, children of
God. i came to the conclusion that
the only hope for the women of the
Orient to attain their true position is
through Christianity"

LAST DAY OF ROUND UP
DIPLAlED GOOD PROGRAM

A very large crowd gathered at
the fair grounds Friday afternoon to
witness the races and bucking con-
tests. 1t was an ideal day for such
an event land people from all the sur
rounding community were present,
including number of people from
Idaho Falls and Pocatello.
The COW girls displayed some very
fine riding in both the races and the
bucking contest, and the cow boys
were exceptionally fine.
Tommy Douglas, the worlds great
est clown, added marked attraction
to the event, as well as doing some
good riding.
We have been unable to get the
names of those who were awarded
prizes, but they will appear in the
next issue fthe Republican.

BUDDHISTS HOLD SPOT HOLY
Famous Pagoda, Built by Hermit, Has
Long Been Visited by Throngs
of Pious Pilgrims.

Sightseeing in Burma is apt to be
one pagoda after another, and ut that
the tourist misses most of them. One
tnat he usually does not see unless he
Is especially energetic, or has an in
satiable taste for pagodas, is the
Kyaik-hto-yo pagoda, one of the most
holy spots in Burma in the eyes of
the Buddhist Burmese.
The Burmese say that the builder Of
this pagoda was hermit, a theory
which seems probable enough, for it
Is built on the top of steep hill in
location which could appeal only to
one of solitary inclination. Even the
crest of the hill must have been too
close to the world for the holy man,
for he located his shrine on huge
bowlder, which may have been steady
enough in his day, but which now
seems ready at any time to slip Oft
into the valley several thousand feet
below.
Assured by the Burmese guide that
the rock has rested at this critical
angle for many centuries, the visitor,
already breathless from the reckless
ascent of a Burmese hill, climbs
swaying bamboo ladder to view better
the old pagoda. The great rock, with
Its shrine forming a tiny pointed cap,
seems even more unsteady from here,
but the guide feels no uneasiness. He
Is confident that somewhere below
the pagoda is lock of Buddha's hair,
and this alone stays the bowlder from
its fall.
In the early spring pilgrims from all
over Burma journey to this forsaken
spot to place flowers on the rock and.
offer their prayers and gifts. jewels,
and other offerings are tossed with an
Invocation to Buddha into the chasim
below the rock. As they leave, they
place lighted candles outside the;
shrine and, as they cross the plain in
the evening they can still see tiny
points Of flame marking the sacred
spot for other pilgrims who may fol-
low them.-Chicago News.

An Official Document That
Shows Instructions to Those
Who Are Peddling German
Propaganda in This Country

Boise, Ida., Oct. 14.-Frank r. Good
Ing, Republican candidate for United
States senator, short term. has made
public the following statement:
To the people Of Idaho: l am MAX
ing the fight of my life, not to be
elected senator, but to save my state
from the odium and the paralysis of
Socialism and Bolshevikism. have
practically given up my campaign for
the senat0rship to wage this contest
against the Non-partisan league lead
ers and to tear off their mask. l in
tend to keep up this fight, and leave
my candidacy with the public, and will
make no further reference to 1t.
Startling Expose.
A short time ago the newspapers
carried startling disclosures showing
the manner in which German propa-
ganda had been and is being carried
on in this country. A number of Of
fetal documents were given out by the
national administration at Washing
ton furnishing details Of the outrage
GUS conspiracy Matched by the kaiser
and executed In the United States by
his. paid agents and by others who,
however, are no less guilty because.
they may have helped the Kaiser with
out consideration. The effect Of
their work was as bad as though they
had been on the payroll, Of the Prus-
slams.
These paid agents are working in
the United States today and they have
the help of others who are doing more
harm than the direct representatives
of the kaiser.
Read Document No. 60.
One of the documents made public
in this remarkable exposure of damn
able conspiracy was No. 60. 1t is re-
produced here. Read 1t carefully. You
will note that the kaiser waited to
stir up all the trouble possible in the
United States.
"Stir up social unrest" he said,
through Barthelm, who issued the in
structions.
Who 10 stirring up more "sociaI I'M
rest" than the leaders Of Ahe Nom

have done. They have persistently
preached the gospel Of hate-the Cos
pei that the kaiser has preached and
practiced in his program of frightful-
ness. IN

Sun Lifts Much Water From


Evaporation Of water from Gatun
lake, canal zone, reached new high
record during the month Of March,
this year, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Calculations show that the
sun withdrew 3,24S,00O,OO0 cubic feet
of water from the body, the equivalent
of 1,213 cubic feet a second for the
period of 81 days. This was one cubic
foot a second in excess of the volume
of water passing through the PEN
stocks of the Gatun hydroelectric sta
ton, which, during the same month,
produced 1851, 900 kilowatt hours of en-
ergy. This in turn shows the loss Of
current due to the suns ef-
feet.
